Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 290

When Mrs. Gongsun heard that Ying Zheng had been staying up late for several days in a row, she no longer listened to the servant's explanation, and went straight into the main hall.

As a result, before he had time to greet Ying Zheng, he was choked by a pungent smell, and Mrs. Gongsun immediately coughed violently, which suddenly alarmed Ying Zheng.

"Gongsun, why are you here?" Seeing this, Ying Zheng quickly put out his pipe, stood up and pulled Madam Gongsun out of the hall.

It took a long time for Mrs. Gongsun to recover, and then she looked at the smog in the hall, with a lingering fear expression on her face.

"Your Majesty, what kind of incense is burning in the hall today? Why is it so pungent? Can you bear it in there?" Madam Gongsun was really irritated by the smoke just now.

Hearing this, Yingzheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Gongsun, you are wrong. It is not incense, but a good thing newly developed by the prince. It is used for smoking. Just take a sip, you can drink It's refreshing!"

"Look at me, at this time on weekdays, I've been sleepy for a long time, but with it today, I'm no longer sleepy!"

"What is so magical?" Mrs. Gongsun couldn't help becoming curious after hearing Ying Zheng's words.

Seeing Mrs. Gongsun's curiosity, Ying Zheng wanted to explain it in detail, but his mind changed suddenly, and he became narrow-minded, "Come on, Gongsun, take a sip, try it and you will know."

Later, Ying Zheng actually lit a cigarette for Gongsun, put the pipe in her hand, and explained to her how to smoke.

Mrs. Gongsun couldn't hold back Ying Zheng, and seeing Ying Zheng's serious expression, she tentatively took a small sip.

It's just that this small mouthful was swallowed by Mrs. Gongsun into her lungs according to what Ying Zheng said, and the thick smoke instantly choked Mrs. Gongsun almost to doubt her life.

"Cough cough cough...Your Majesty, you, you are too bad, cough cough cough...how can this thing be smoked, cough cough cough..."

Seeing this, Yingzheng couldn't help laughing, and then said seriously: "Gongsun, you didn't grasp the essentials in your first mouthful. It's normal to be choked. I was the same as you before. Come on, see how I am. smoked."

With that said, Ying Zheng began to pretend to be aggressive in front of Mrs. Gongsun, slowly took a puff of cigarettes, and then blew out several smoke rings in front of Mrs. Gongsun, making Mrs. Gongsun's beautiful eyes magnified for a while.

"This, can this be like this?" Mrs. Gongsun was moved by Ying Zheng, but could not resist Ying Zheng's persuasion. She half-swayed and took a few more puffs. Finally, she mastered the essentials of smoking. In the end, just like Ying Zheng, she spit out a perfect smoke rings.

"Wow, it worked, it's really possible, wow, this thing is so interesting, Your Majesty, it's so fun!"

"Well, I was quite choked when I smoked it just now, but now that I think about it, it's actually very sweet, and it seems to really have the effect of curing sleepiness. When I just came here, I wasn't very energetic, but now I'm not sleepy at all!"

"Right, I said I didn't lie to you. Come on, take another two puffs. I'm not interested in smoking alone!" Ying Zheng half coaxed and half lied, so the first female smoker in Daqin was officially born.

Sitting in the imperial study, Mrs. Gongsun smoked a cigarette while looking curiously at the betel nuts on the tray on Ying Zhenglong's case.

"This is called betel nut. Like cigarettes, it is used for interrogation." Ying Zheng saw it, and explained the efficacy of betel nut to Mrs. Gongsun, which made Mrs. Gongsun curious again.

"No wonder Your Majesty is up so late. It turns out you have cigarettes and betel nut!" Mrs. Gongsun thought for a moment, put out the cigarette, and advised Ying Zheng: "But Your Majesty, you should rest when you are tired. After all, cigarettes and betel nut cannot replace people." sleep!"

"You have to worry about state affairs during the day, and you have to review memorials at night. Your body has been supported by cigarettes and betel nuts. It will be too much. You should rest early."

Hearing Mrs. Gongsun's words, Ying Zheng pretended to be convinced on the surface, but he still said: "Well, what you said makes sense, but I can't sleep now, tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely Go to bed early! Come, Gongsun, stay with me."

In the early morning of the second day, there was a rare commotion in the hall.

Countless civil and military officials gathered around Qiang Li and Yang Duanhe, watching these two idiots swallowing clouds and fog in the hall.

"Lao Qiang, is this the legendary cigarette? Where did you get it done? Do you still have it?"

"Old Yang, give me another one, you were too mean last night, so just keep one for me, it's not enough to smoke!"

"Yeah, it's too stingy, everyone, brothers, you just sent us one, let's get another one!"

Yesterday Yang Duanhe and Qiang Li got cigarettes and betel nuts, so they naturally wanted to show off in front of their colleagues.

Birds of a feather really flock together, and many colleagues of Qiang Yu and Yang Duanhe were completely hooked after smoking a cigarette once.

Now I saw Qiang Li and Yang Duanhe smoking in the hall, but they didn't, so naturally they pestered them to ask for it.

On weekdays, people like Wang Ben and Feng Jing were always shouting and arrogant in front of Qiang Fu and Yang Duanhe.

Today, for a cigarette, one or two shouted 'Lao Yang, Lao Qiang' so affectionately, which made Qiang Li and Yang Duanhe very happy.

However, they kept their minds in mind and discussed it before going to court. They would never tell others that they bought the cigarettes and betel nuts from the prince, so that they could pretend for a while longer.

"Oh, we don't have many cigarettes anymore. It's not that brothers don't give them. Do you know how much this cigarette costs?"

"I gave you one yesterday, it's considered friendship, you want one more today, shouldn't you show it!"

After hearing what Qiang Li and Yang Duanhe said, all the courtiers suddenly understood, and Feng Quji, who had long been impatient, stepped forward, "Old Qiang, didn't your boy fall in love with my distant niece?" ?”

"Let's exchange birthday characters when we go back to court. That's it. We'll have a wedding this year!"

Feng Quji made a big move as soon as he came up, and he stunned everyone at once. For the cigarettes, Daqin Youxiang even sent out his niece, even if it was a distant one!

"Oh, right minister, then we will be a family from now on, come here, smoke one, and I will light you!" Qiang Yan's eyes lit up, he immediately handed over a cigarette, and offered to light Feng Quji.

On the other side, Feng Jing was not to be outdone, and said to Yang Duanhe, "Old Yang, didn't you tell me before that your kid wanted to join the army for exercise? I'm in charge of this matter, let him report to the Dragon Army tomorrow." !"

Seeing this, Wang Ben patted his chest and said, "Lao Yang, your son has come to the Dragon Army, and I will be responsible for my promotion from now on!"

These important ministers in the court, one by one, kept making big moves for the sake of cigarettes, so that Zhao Yi later heard it, and his face was speechless.
