131. Perfume for men - fashion
In Tai Chi Palace, Emperor Li Shimin had just finished his whole day and returned to the **. As usual, he either slept with Empress Changsun in Lizheng Hall, or summoned a concubine to the Ganlu Hall to serve him. However, when he just entered the **, he smelled a fragrance.
"Emperor!" A woman came to greet her immediately.
"Concubine Yang?" Li Shimin asked.
This woman is Concubine Yang, the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, and the princess of the previous dynasty. This woman did not give birth to the third prince Li Ke and the sixth prince Li Yan, but the little Concubine Yang collected from the backyard of his younger brother Li Yuanji after the Xuanwu Gate Incident last year. However, after Li Shimin took it over, he almost forgot about this woman. Concubine Yang has not received Li Shimin's attention and now she has appeared with Li Shimin on his own initiative.
Li Shimin moved his nose and actually felt a fragrance on Concubine Yang's body, and a strong fragrance of roses. After smelling this fragrance, Li Shimin suddenly felt that his desire was coming. Li Shimin, who had not taken this Concubine Yang seriously, actually wanted to approach him by chance.
"You'll come to Ganlu Palace tonight!" Li Shimin said.
I have to say that perfume has a certain aphrodisiac effect, so Li Shimin couldn't stand it after smelling this fragrance.
The next day, when Li Shimin got up from Concubine Yang, he suddenly recalled what happened yesterday.
"What are you? It smells so good?" Li Shimin asked.
Since the emperor asked, the little Yang Concubine, who was a concubine, could only answer honestly. The little Yang Concubine told Li Shimin what the concubine wanted to invest in, and then handed the matter to Jing Wen. Jing Wen made a perfume and sent it to all the concubines of **, so the little Yang Concubine could do so.
Li Shimin did not make any statement about the concubine asking Jing Wen to help manage the industry, but he was very interested in perfume.
"Perfume? What is this?" Li Shimin asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, this is said to be extracted from flowers, which is very expensive!" said Xiao Yang Concubine.
"Perfume? Not bad, good stuff!" Li Shimin thought to himself.
Not long after, Li Shimin called Jing Wen into the palace again.
"Your Majesty, what's the reason for your name?" Jing Wen asked.
"You made the perfume and actually used it for my concubines? This thing is good!" Li Shimin said.
Jing Wen immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am just helping you to be more beautiful and charming. But then you will not be the one who will benefit from it?"
Jing Wen said this well. Jing Wen gave all the perfume to all the concubines. Is this wrong for the sake of the emperor's "sexual blessing"? Therefore, even Emperor Li Shimin cannot blame Jing Wen.
"I didn't say there was something wrong with this perfume. I just wanted to ask you if there is any lighter perfume, and it has sandalwood flavor? I don't want those too strong flavors. I like lighter ones." Li Shimin asked.
"Lighter? Sandalwood smell? Emperor, if you need it, you can do it! But Emperor, Sandalwood smell does not seem to be suitable for women!" Jing Wen said.
In Jing Wen's eyes, this perfume should be for the concubines. Will Li Shimin like such high-end, elegant and upscale things as sandalwood? Sandalwood is actually not suitable for the concubines because the fragrance is too high. If a woman uses it, it may not necessarily boost some desires. Li Shimin actually likes his women to use these, which is a bit surprising. What surprised Jing Wen even more is still behind.
"Who said it was for the concubines? I wanted to use it myself. You can make some lighter sandalwood perfume and give it to me, and I want to use it too." Li Shimin said.
Jing Wen almost fainted after hearing Li Shimin's words. Jing Wen never expected that Li Shimin wanted to use perfume? This situation was too tricky, right? In Jing Wen's eyes, only women can use perfume, but Li Shimin, a big man, used it? If it weren't for the absence of some kind of surgery in ancient times, I'm afraid Jing Wen would have suspected that Li Shimin had undergone that kind of surgery. Men use perfume, which makes Jing Wen weird as Jing Wen thinks.
At least, in Jing Wen's previous life, none of the men around him used perfume. Jing Wen couldn't imagine that if a man used perfume, wouldn't he just want the sunflower book in the TV series to feel like he was neither male nor female? If he was a eunuch using perfume, Jing Wen could understand it. But if the emperor was a big man, this was...
"Why are you looking at me so strange? Is there anything strange about me?" Li Shimin asked.
Jing Wen immediately continued to ask: "Master, why do you use perfume too? This is not something..."
"What's strange about this? Isn't it very normal for men to use spices?" Li Shimin also asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty, isn't it only women who make themselves fragrant, and why do men also use spices? Isn't this too disgusting?" Jing Wen said.
"What's so disgusting? Don't the princes in the court use sachets? Not only women, but even men also have sachets! Saucers are usually filled with spices, which can continuously release fragrance. However, this sachet is not as good as this perfume. Only when the sachet is placed on the chest can you smell the fragrance. But this perfume can smell it from a distance, so the fragrance of this perfume is relatively strong, which is why I want perfume." Li Shimin said.
Then, Li Shimin picked up a small cloth bag on his waist and threw it to Jing Wen. Jing Wen saw the cloth bag and touched it. There were obviously some spices inside. Jing Wen was speechless. It turned out that ancient men also used sachets! Jing Wen watched those TV series, but he thought that only ancient women used sachets, but men also used sachets?
"So, perfume is not necessarily a woman's thing, men also use perfume? Then, my perfume is not only used by women, but also by men?" Jing Wen thought to himself.
Originally, Jing Wen only thought that women used perfume, but now men also used perfume, so the market has expanded a lot for no reason. When Jing Wen returned, he had to find a way to study several perfumes used by men, so that they could satisfy those men's idea of using perfumes! The perfumes used by men and women are definitely different, so Jing Wen couldn't give men the perfumes used by women!
