I suppose the Emperor has quite a refined taste, doesn't he? Fragrance Candles, tsk tsk!
Seeing that she liked them, Zhao Junyao smiled and said, "These are newly obtained from the Empress Dowager. If you like them, I can also get some for you!"
"Ah?"
Xia Ruqing was a bit surprised. The Empress Dowager?
Zhao Junyao then explained, "Although these items are not worth much money, they are very complicated to make and hard to produce in large quantities, so they are not included in the list of tribute items! It's only occasionally that merchants will bring some over! Therefore, they are not very common in the Great Chu Dynasty! However, the Empress Dowager happened to come across them and said she liked the fragrance, so she had someone get a few!"
Xia Ruqing then understood.
So that's how it is! So it was the fragrance the Emperor brought with him from his morning visit to the Empress Dowager! Hmm, it really does smell good.
