Chapter 549: The smell is too strong
Zheng Sisi's voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, and everyone present cast curious glances at her. She held a delicate little box in her hand, the surface of which was inlaid with precious gems and emitted a faint glow.
Looking at the small box in Zheng Sisi's hand, everyone was full of curiosity and expectation. They all knew that Princess Anping was generous and the gift must be worth a lot.
However, at this moment, an unpleasant voice sounded: "Princess Anping is so stingy. The annual gift she gave to the Queen is only this big."
The person who spoke was Princess Jiaoyang, who always seemed to like to make trouble for Zheng Sisi.
The eldest princess realized that her daughter's behavior was inappropriate. She quickly grabbed Princess Jiaoyang's sleeve and whispered, "Jiaoyang, shut up."
She knew that this was not a good time to stir up trouble.
The two maids behind Zheng Sisi glared at Princess Jiaoyang fiercely. They secretly took note of this. Princess Jiaoyang always took the initiative to cause trouble. Next time, they must secretly put a sack on her and teach her a lesson.
The Queen was very surprised by Princess Jiaoyang's rude behavior. She originally thought that Princess Jiaoyang would restrain herself. After all, this was a New Year's Eve banquet, and everyone should maintain a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
However, Princess Jiaoyang chose to challenge Zheng Sisi on this occasion and even tried to punish her with her own power. Obviously, Princess Jiaoyang did not see clearly the status and influence of Zheng Sisi in the palace.
The queen looked at the gift sent by Zheng Sisi with a satisfied smile on her face, and said affectionately: "Anping, you are really thoughtful. I like this gift very much."
At this time, a noble lady smiled and said, "Everyone says that the gifts given by Princess Anping are always unique. Can you open our eyes today?"
Others echoed this and expressed their anticipation for Zheng Sisi's gift, believing that it might be a rare treasure they had never seen before.
This proposal resonated with everyone, and everyone showed strong curiosity. Zheng Sisi observed that everyone had no ill intentions, but simply wanted to know the true face of the gift, which was completely different from the malicious slander of Princess Jiaoyang.
So, she turned her gaze to the Queen and asked, "Queen, can Anping show me the gift?"
The Queen was also curious about this and replied with a smile: "I also want to know what kind of rare gift Anping prepared."
Zheng Sisi looked around and found that everyone was staring at her intently, their eyes full of expectation and curiosity. So she decided to satisfy everyone's curiosity.
She gently opened the lid of the wooden box, and the small and exquisite bottle of perfume came into view.
Princess Jiaoyang couldn't help but smile sarcastically when she saw this: "Oh, just as I expected, such a petty thing is really not worthy of being displayed in a noble hall."
However, Zheng Sisi responded calmly: "You are very generous, but no one dares to try it, probably because they think the smell is too strong."
These words made Jiaoyang's face flush with anger. She was about to stand up, but was stopped by the Grand Princess. The Grand Princess noticed the warning look from the Queen and knew in her heart that it was not appropriate to go against the Queen at this time.
After all, if she wanted to cause trouble for Zheng Sisi, she could solve it privately without causing a conflict in such an occasion. So she decided to stop her daughter's impulsive behavior.
Zheng Sisi glanced at the Grand Princess and Princess Jiaoyang, then calmly took out the perfume from the exquisite wooden box and showed it to everyone: "Please look, everyone, this is perfume, and it is also an imported product."
Everyone's eyes were focused on a small and exquisite pink glass bottle containing a little liquid.
The bottle is so small that it can be held in one palm, but its exquisiteness is amazing, causing many people to exclaim in amazement.
After she handed the wooden box to Rose, she stretched out her slender hand and gently pulled off the cap of the perfume bottle. In an instant, a light and elegant fragrance wafted out, and everyone took a deep breath, intoxicated by it.
“Where does this wonderful aroma come from? It smells so good!”
"This fragrance even surpasses the fragrance of peony. What kind of fragrance is this?"
Zheng Sisi coughed lightly and explained with a smile: "This is the scent of jasmine, which is emitted by this bottle. Today, I specially prepared this bottle of perfume as a New Year gift for the Queen. Just spray a little on your body and the fragrance will last all day long."
“Is it really so magical? Can you spray some out and try it?”
When the queen heard about such a magical perfume that could make people smell good all day long with just a little spray, she couldn't help but get excited. With this bottle of perfume, wouldn't she smell good every day?
