From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

When Wang Jing saw that it was him, he sneered and said, "What is Mr. Bai going to do? Do you want to protect him?"

He thought to himself, how could a mere businessman like him protect it?

"I won't protect him, I will protect myself." Bai Yanli walked down from the second floor with a calm expression.

"Protect you?"

"That's right." Bai Yanli said, "Your Excellency is very capable. With just a few words, you have pushed the Bai family to the bottom. If I don't stand up, the Bai family will probably go back to Jiangnan tomorrow, and the business in the capital will not be able to continue for a day."

Wang Jing sneered and thought to himself, he still has some self-awareness.

"What do you want to say?"

Bai Yanli said, "Master Zuo Shi, I must explain that the Bai family's perfume is made only of fresh flowers, without any other ingredients. Even though the perfume does not have a very obvious effect of refreshing the mind, it will definitely not confuse the mind and affect the exam. So what you said just now that the champion used the Bai family's perfume to cheat is indeed untrue."

"You're still saying you're not protecting him?" Wang Jing sneered, "How do you prove that this fragrance won't make people drowsy?"

"Sir, the scent of this flower itself can make people feel refreshed." Bai Yanli said slowly.

"Huh, ridiculous! You say this flower can make people feel refreshed, so it does? Then I insist that this flower can make people dizzy, what can you do about it?" Wang Jing curled his lips wickedly.

"Sir." Bai Yanli said calmly, "I am speaking according to the characteristics of this flower itself."

"Me too!" Wang Jing retorted.

Everyone present looked at Wang Jing silently. What he said was a bit unreasonable.

Wang Jing's eyes darkened and he said, "Then tell me, what kind of flower is this? I want to hear what kind of flower it is that has the function of clearing one's mind."

Bai Yanli stopped and looked around at everyone present. Four words came out of his mouth: "Yes, the fragrance of osmanthus."

Osmanthus fragrans?

It turned out to be the scent of osmanthus. Everyone suddenly understood.

Osmanthus is rarely grown in Beijing, and many people have never smelled it. Everyone just thinks that the smell is really refreshing, but they don't know that it is this kind of flower.

Most people present had never smelled this flower.

But that doesn’t mean that Emperor Zhou has never heard of it.

When Emperor Zhou heard these three words, his heart skipped a beat.

Osmanthus? Wasn’t the Liuli Courtyard where Bai Yanli lived when he was a child full of osmanthus?

He has been going to that yard frequently recently.

It was as if a warm current flowed through Emperor Zhou's heart, and he looked deeply at Bai Yanli.

He actually still remembers this taste.

At this time, a gust of wind blew in from outside the door, bringing the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance from somewhere, making the fragrance in the whole building stronger.

"This is the smell in my memory." Bai Yanli narrated calmly, "When I was a child, I was studying in the yard. Whenever I smelled this smell when I felt sleepy, my mind would be clear. This memory has been engraved in my mind. I often dream of this scene, so I made this osmanthus ointment. I hope more people can smell it and let this fragrance play its role."

The taste in memory.

After hearing this, the scholars present only felt that the ointment had a story, but they didn't know what it was.

The only person present who could understand this story was Emperor Zhou!

Emperor Zhou sat there, feeling a wave of emotion in his heart!

It turned out that he had always been thinking about the palace.

What he remembered in this memory was not only the sweet-scented osmanthus, but also his childhood! It was the palace, it was his home!

And he is a negligent father.

Bai Yanli's words made Emperor Zhou feel distressed and guilty.

He thought to himself that the child was suffering outside after all.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhou felt a surge of emotion flowing slowly in his heart.

He suddenly felt much closer to Bai Yanli.

"I made this ointment for a reason. This flower will definitely not make people dizzy, and it is even less likely to be used as a cheating tool to confuse others." Bai Yanli said softly, "Please understand!"

"Ridiculous!" Unexpectedly, Wang Jing glared at him and shouted, "What memory? Do you think you can get away with it by making up a story? No matter when you smelled this fragrance or what effect it had on you, this fragrance was used by Xu Zhiqing! He used this fragrance to cheat, so what can you do about it!"

"Still remember?" Wang Jing sneered, "When you were still a kid, I think you were obsessed with making this incense. You were bewitched by this incense yourself. All you had were daydreams!"

Daydream?

Everyone was silent for a while, and no one dared to say anything.

Wang Jing ordered his men to hold Xu Zhiqing down and walked forward. When passing by Bai Yanli, he proudly leaned into Bai Yanli's ear and said, "Mr. Bai, don't worry about osmanthus flowers. If you don't listen, just go back to your Jiangnan area. The capital is not a place for you!"

He said this on behalf of Zhou Ziyue.

Bai Yanli remained motionless after hearing this.

Wang Jing glanced at him and was about to leave, but when he raised his foot, he heard a very cold voice: "Stop!"

Wang Jing stopped walking, thinking, who is this person who keeps on talking? How can anyone tell him to stop now? He really deserves to be punished!

Wang Jing thought of this and turned back angrily: "You fucking ..."

When he turned around, he saw a man standing in the corner of the first floor. Because he was standing far away and was wearing a hat, he couldn't see clearly. He squinted his eyes and suddenly recognized that the person standing next to the man with a cold face was none other than Li Bo!

The person who spoke was——

Thinking of this, Wang Jing's legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Your Majesty!"

He knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty."

When everyone present heard this, they immediately looked towards Emperor Zhou. Why did the emperor come here? Everyone wanted to kneel down.

Li Bo immediately raised his hand, indicating that everyone didn't need to salute.

Emperor Zhou walked out with a cold face and came to Wang Jing in front of everyone. He looked at Wang Jing expressionlessly.

Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes. What did he just say?

Saying that Bai Yanli’s memory is a daydream?

Is it said that the fragrance of osmanthus can confuse people?

So there were so many osmanthus flowers planted in the palace. Would he, as an emperor, feel drowsy in there every day?

What does he mean?

Are you saying he is a tyrant?

When Emperor Zhou thought of this, his eyes became even colder.

It was the first time that Wang Jing was watched by the emperor at such a close distance. His whole body was shaking and he didn't dare to look at him at all.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Wang Jing, my palace is full of osmanthus. You said the fragrance of osmanthus is confusing. Do you mean that I am drowsy every day? Did I approve those memorials without a clear mind? Do I handle state affairs in a daze every day?"

Wang Jing was so frightened that he almost peed his pants when he heard this. He shook his head tremblingly: "I dare not. That is not what I meant!"

Emperor Zhou was furious: "What do you mean?!"
