Detoxification (4)
Xie Xuanchen tactfully kept quiet.
Mu Mingtang continued as she didnt wait for his reaction, Speaking of fragrance, natural ones are still the best. The smell of melons and fruits is lively and refres.h.i.+ng, also no matter how good the herbs are used for incense, they still could not compare to these fruity smells.
Xie Xuanchen finally understood what Mu Mingtang was up to.
From now on, dont use the herbs for incensing the mansion. Just place fresh melons and fruits around. Oh~ what a pleasant smell Mu Mingtang ordered the maids present in the dining room.
The maids didnt understand what the princess wanted to do, so they looked at each other in dismay. Not daring to refute, they could only consent.
Yes, princess
You should also use this fruity fragrance for clothes as well. The ones smoked in a smoker always have a smell of fire. From now on, they will be smoked with fruits fragrance, for winter use oranges and in summer use apples, so that the fruity flavour will slowly soak into the clothes, without those artificially extracted scented incense.
This is too difficult. How much melon and fruit would be needed to soak clothes with the smell of fruits? What more apples and oranges After smoking for an entire night, all the good fruits would be thrown away the next day. Over the years, how much money would be needed just for smoking clothes? How extravagant!All the maids had the same thoughts in their heart.
Even though it was too extravagant, the maids had to listen to their mistress, and since even Prince An said nothing, so how dared they, the mere servants, raise questions against the princess.
Mu Mingtang silently watched as the maids removed the incense burner and smoker cage from the dining room.
Sure enough, after a while, the kitchen sent over lots of fresh fruits, which they had just brought from the market.
This was not just any ordinary mansion, but Prince Ans mansion, so the servants paid more attention to buying high quality fresh fruits. They filled large containers with fresh fruits, and once the smell began to fade, the maids immediately replaced them with the next batch of fruits.
At noon, Mu Mingtang watched helplessly as a large pot of intact fruit was removed and thrown away. Her heart ached, but she couldnt say anything about it, as she had to pretend to be arrogant and reckless. As soon as the people left, Mu Mingtang pulled Xie Xuanchen and complained: What should I do? I feel so distressed. If this goes on, wouldnt we need to change the fruit bowls four or five times a day?
Xie Xuanchen calmly comforted her: Its okay, it doesnt cost much.
Mu Mingtang glared at him hard, and Xie Xuanchen had no choice but to change his words: Theyre changing the fruit so many times because its just the first day, we wont need to change it so frequently after the house is filled with the fruity scent. By then, twice a day should be enough.
After speaking, Xie Xuanchen expressed his admiration for Mu Mingtangs quick witted idea: Sure enough, you have found a way on your own. This idea is good. Fresh melons and fruits would need to be thrown away every day, and with how things are right now, they wont be able to do anything.
Dont talk about it. Mu Mingtangs heart would ache every time she thought about wasting so much food, Throwing it twice a day still makes me feel distress.
But what was more important needed to be handled, so they had to solve the problem with Wuyufei.
The little Taoist, who was urged by Mu Mingtang continuously for several days, finally found the ma.n.u.script of his master from back then.
I went through my masters ma.n.u.scripts all these days, and also read medical books related to them. Princess An, it seems like I have finally found something.
What is it?
Use ones own way to treat ones body. The little Taoist said, It can also be calledfighting poison with poison.
