    "Strelitzia reginae is also called bird of paradise or bird of paradise. This flower is only produced farther south in Dahua. It means happiness and auspiciousness."

    Mulan looked at the symmetrical orange flowers embroidered on the skirt of Huaxi's clothes. They were embroidered with gold threads. They were shaped like cranes stretching their necks and looking into the distance. Their color was like warm sunlight. It was true that the flower lived up to its name. She couldn't help but praise: "This Strelitzia reginae is so famous."  That's quite appropriate! Can the princess let Mulan draw two different tricks?"

    "Since you like it, I'll have the maid trace it and send it to you tomorrow."

    "Thank you very much, Princess."

    "Huaxi, what are you talking about?" Yizhen shouted from the front.

    "Princess, Mulan is discussing patterns with Princess Jingxian. It turns out that our daughter in Tiandu looks at the princess for everything. Mu Lan thinks that Princess Jingxian is also a good dresser. Princess, look at this color pattern.  This is the first time I have met Mulan." Mulan quickly took two steps forward to answer, and then said to Huaxi, "Princess, you are from Dahua, and you are much more knowledgeable than the rest of us. In the future, you may wish to  Walking around more often also gives us a lot of insights.¡±

    Mu Lan¡¯s words sounded like praise, but they were actually insinuations that Hua Xi had stolen Yizhen¡¯s limelight.  The other three people heard it clearly.  Yizhen glanced at Mulan lightly without saying anything, while Xunrou curled her lips unconsciously and glanced at Huaxi, as if she was disdainful.

    Huaxi looked at Mu Lan indifferently, "I have seen this pattern of the Bird of Paradise in a geographical journal, and thought it had a good meaning, so I took a look at the pattern. I also live in a simple way in Dahua, and I haven't arrived in the West yet.  I have traveled around a lot since I came here, and I am not as knowledgeable as any of my sisters, let alone my aunt."

    "What's the point of not being knowledgeable? I just love to play. Just ask me what fun things are around Tiandu. When it comes to embroidery and fragrance mixing, I'm far behind you. You deal with spices, flowers and plants all day long, and you know more about them than I do.  "More, please ask someone to send me some rare and meaningful pictures later."

    Yizhen pulled Huaxi forward. Mulan stood there alone and was embarrassed. Xunrou stepped forward and rolled her eyes at Mulan, "Let's go, why are you standing there?"

    When they went to the theater to listen to a play, Xunrou, Mulan and Xinyi kept lingering in front of Yizhen and Huaxi.  Although Xun Rou's attitude towards Hua Xi was not very good, she did not deliberately confront her, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

    After listening to two excerpts of the play, everyone had a meal. Yizhen was a little hungry, so she suddenly called Huaxi, who had gone back to the guest room to rest, and walked with her in the garden of the mansion.

    The two of them walked around for a while and saw a pavilion in the garden. Hua Xi said he wanted to rest there.  Unexpectedly, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Yu Heng and Mu Lan behind the rockery. Yu Heng seemed to be leaving, but was pulled back by Mu Lan, not knowing what to say.

    "It's getting late, let's go back and rest for a while before going to Wenxiang Garden." Huaxi helped Yizhen and turned around to walk back.

    "At this moment, there are many fragrant flowers in the courtyard of Prince Zhidu's Mansion, and the gardeners are dedicated to protecting them. They are unbeatable all year round. Why don't you look at them again?" Yizhen was puzzled and glanced back, but her sight was blocked by Huaxi.

    "Flowers bloom in four seasons, in harmony with the seasons, with unique styles and their own merits. If they all bloom out of season, they will lose their unique temperament and the expected joy, and the flower appreciation will be uninteresting." Huaxi didn't want to think.  Yizhen saw Yu Heng and Mulan fighting, and deliberately spoke loudly, "I'm tired, Yizhen, let's go back!"

    "Huaxi, why are you blocking me?" Yizhen probed her head to get a clear look, "What's behind you?"

    "Well, no"

    "Princess Yizhen and Princess Jingxian, are you two coming to visit the garden?" Yu Heng's voice sounded from behind. Hua Xi took a step away and turned around, "Mr. Yu Heng."

    "Is it Yu Heng?" Yi Zhen glanced at Hua Xi, "Who am I? The furnace owner shouldn't be going to Wenxiang Courtyard to prepare at this time, so why is he here?"

    Yu Heng said with a smile: "Only when you go out for a walk, get some fresh air, and relax your body and mind can you appreciate the true flavor of fragrance. The princess is also a person who loves fragrance, don't you think so?"

    "When you taste fragrance, you pay attention to your state of mind and character. If you have a good mood, you won't be able to taste the true meaning if your character is not pure." Hua Xi said to Yizhen, "Princess, do you want to go back?"

    Yizhen nodded, without looking at Yu Heng, and pulled Huaxi back to leave.

    ¡°You¡¯re worried that I¡¯ll be sad when I see the misunderstanding, so why not?¡± Yizhen said casually, ¡°He has confidants all over the world, so what¡¯s the matter if they are multiple cousins?¡±

    "Yizhen, you"

    "It's nothing. Why should people who don't care about it care about it? Don't mention it anymore, don't disturb the elegance of tasting the fragrance." Yizhen still smiled, not caring, looking at the loneliness in the distance and fleeting.  .

    In the afternoon, Huaxi took a shower and changed clothes, then went to find Yizhen in plain clothes and went to Wenxiang Garden together.

    Smell the fragranceBy the small lake inside, at the end of the cobblestone path, there is a row of single-story houses. The lattice door of the flower hall in the middle is open, and there are two rows of pear wood armchairs in the atrium.  A picture of winter plum blossoms hangs on the central wall of the wooden table. The room is clean, dust-free, quiet and elegant.

    The incense room was separated by a gauze screen. Huaxi and Yizhen sat down in the inner room. Princess Zhidu and other female guests sat beside them. Guests from the outside room arrived one after another.

    Yu Heng sat in the central seat. Facing the door, on the left side sat the King of Thailand and the three princes. On the right side sat King Zhidu, Le Yi, and Feili. Then Ouyang Zheng and others sat down one after another.

    Yu Hengyang raised his hand and the maid served tea.  The white porcelain bowl holds tea. When Huaxi opens it, the tea soup is clear and the aroma is light.

    Yu Heng said outside: "Please come and taste some tea."

    Yizhen said: "Yu Heng just likes to play tricks."

    Hua Xi shook his head and said: "It is easier to appreciate the essence of the fragrance by opening your sense of smell and taste with tea before tasting the fragrance. Master Yu Heng's move may seem fancy, but it is not unreasonable."

    Yu Heng is the master of the stove, and after mixing the incense and setting the taste, it is passed on to the guests. After every two rounds of incense, the master of the stove will change the incense to another stove.

    Hua Xi took the incense burner and tasted it three times.  The fragrance is rich and lasts for a long time. When you smell it, it is like a flower blooming in bud, the fragrance overflows, prosperous and colorful, sweet with a touch of milk, and the sweetness of the stamen gradually fades away.  Huaxi thought for a moment before passing the incense burner to the next guest.

    Yizhen looked at the novelty and couldn't help but wonder: "What's so special about your fragrance?"

    Hua Xi said: "The first time you taste it is to clear your nose and remove the miscellaneous smell. The second time you look at your nose, you visualize the fragrance. The third time you savor it, you affirm your thoughts."

    Xun Rou sat aside and asked, "Princess Suwen is a master of fragrance. I don't know how to appraise it?"

    Hua Xi took a sip of tea and said, "This is the best chess nan. The fragrance lasts for a long time, with many twists and turns in the middle. It can last for at least two quarters of an hour. When it comes to the fragrance of the four seasons, this agarwood fragrance is classified as a spring fragrance."

    "Oh, this fragrance can be divided into four seasons?"

    "That's natural. Agarwood has various qualities, including floral, plum, milk, or cool, bitter, and burnt The smell of agarwood makes people feel calm, and makes people more focused and meditative" (Remember this site  Website: www.hlnovel.com
