    ***

    Hua Xi stood up and lowered his head, and saluted with other guests. After King An and others took their seats, everyone took their seats one after another.

    As soon as he sat down, Huaxi caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past, and someone had already sat down in the seat next to him.  Looking sideways, he saw it was Yin Chengzong.

    The middle-aged man next to him leaned over to talk to Yin Chengzong, pointed to the first position secretly, and motioned for him to sit at the top. Yin Chengzong shook his head and said something, as if refusing, and the remaining three people would not force it.

    Yin Chengzong sat down and turned to Huaxi with a smile.

    "The county prince should sit first." Hua Xi whispered, who would have thought that Yin Chengzong would come on stage himself, then who would host the incense ceremony?  Looking up, Ouyang Zheng had taken a seat next to the prince, and on the other side sat a handsome middle-aged man in his forties. Huaxi guessed that this man was Xi Yue, the head of the mission and the current emperor.  His younger brother Xin Wang Susukino Xin.

    "The Yu family is a prominent family in the southwest, a scholarly family. From the previous dynasty to the present, the family has produced ten number one scholars. The second master Yu is the younger brother of the current patriarch. He does not like official career, but he is a master of incense. The remaining two are  Yao Yongnian, the owner of Yao Ji, the largest incense shop in the south and north, and Feng Wu, the owner of Feng Ji. Although I am the king of the county, I am not an insider in the industry and I dare not take the first place."

    Yin Chengzong came closer and explained to Huaxi in a low voice, and then pointed to the opposite side under the table, "The five people over there have also sat down. The one at the top is Mo Hei, the second son of King Xiyue Mohan, and next to Hei is his wife.  Gu Lizhu, the next ones are Song Zan and Fang Xing, who are comparable to Dahua's Nan Yao and Beifeng, and the last one is Fang Xing's nephew Fang Liu."

    Hua Xi turned to look at the opposite side. Among the five people in the front row of the Xiyue Mission, the one on the far right was a young man in his twenties or eighties. His long fiery red hair was tied up with a silver hairband, and the rest was scattered around his shoulders. His pupils were light.  Brown, with angular features, strong and straight, he doesn't look like an elegant man who can sit quietly indoors and enjoy the fragrance. The aura emanating from his body makes him feel like a sweaty BMW galloping on the grassland.  This person is He Yi.

    Next to He Yi is a woman, a standard Western beauty.  The national style of Xiyue was developed, so the woman was not masked. She had blond hair, blue eyes, a pretty nose and red lips, and a slim figure. A well-fitting sapphire blue riding outfit highlighted her forward and backward posture, making her a perfect match sitting next to He Yi.

    "Song of praise" squinted his eyes, his brown hair was tied into a ponytail and tossed behind his head. He was short and fat, sitting there as round as a ball.  But Fang Xing is a thin middle-aged man. He does not look like a Xiyue person, but more like a Chinese.

    "Isn't Fang Xing from Xiyue?" Hua Xi asked Yin Chengzong in a low voice.

    Yin Chengzong responded: "Fang Xing's ancestor was from the Dongci country and has been living in Xiyue. Now he can be regarded as a Xiyue person."

    Hua Xi nodded, then turned around and saw a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes looking at her curiously. It was the baby-faced Fang Liu.

    Hua Xi looked back generously, which made Fang Liu a little at a loss. His fair face was actually stained with a thin red, with a bit of embarrassment, and he nodded shyly towards Hua Xi.  Hua Xi was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and nodded politely in response.

    Perhaps there was only one woman from Huaxi in Dahua. A glance between her and Fang Liu Wuxin caught the attention of Fang Xing and others. However, with just a quick glance, Susukino Xin, the superior, had already signaled Ouyang Zheng to start.

    The palace door is closed and the first incense test begins.

    When tasting incense, the incense room must be ventilated, and the back hall may feel stuffy when the door is closed.

    After Ouyang Zheng announced that Xiyue would be the host of the first test, a waiter carried a case and placed it in the center of the hall.  Fang Xing stood up and bowed, signaling to the attendant behind him to place the incense utensils prepared in advance on the table.

    Hua Xi watched the attendant take out the silver leaves, silver leaf clips, incense spoons, feather brooms, and fire chopsticks from the gilt box and insert them into the plum and bamboo celadon incense bottle. Then he placed the incense burner on the table, and another person placed the spare charcoal box.  Next to the bill.

    Hua Xi saw that the silver leaves used by Xiyue were mica pieces with gold edges, so she knew that Xi Yue also knew how to use incense ash to accumulate charcoal.  Although we know that this method of using incense ash to accumulate charcoal is not common in Dahua, it does not mean that no one will use it at this time.  Hua Xi carefully looked at the utensils on the table, especially the fire chopsticks, which were made of red copper. It should be noted that the fire chopsticks are preferably red copper, but white copper is also acceptable. Avoid using gold and silver, or fill them with flowers when they are grown.  Hua Xi secretly thought that the host of the incense test should be an expert in various fields.

    When Huaxi saw Fang Xing instructing everyone to place the utensils, she thought he would be hosting the first scene. However, she did not expect that as soon as the incense utensils were put away, it was Fang Liu who walked out.

    Fang Liu walked to the center, saluted the three kings and Susukino Nobu, and said loudly: "All the incense used in the first incense test is powdered incense. I will choose a base incense and mix it with three incense. After testing the incense,  Take three parts of each of these three kinds of incense, and add a new part.Shape Due to her sensitivity to fragrance, after smelling the last fragrance, she already knew the three scents that she wanted to test. In order not to appear too abrupt, she lowered her head and took a look at the scented paper again.  Then I took another piece of paper and wrote down the ingredients of the three test scents and how many times they appeared.

    After everyone had finished writing, the waiter took away the incense paper and counted them later.

    Yin Chengzong came over and asked, "How is it?"

    Hua Xi shook his head, "I don't know."

    Fang Liu had sat back down, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the purple-clothed girl opposite.

    Fang Xing, who was on the side, followed Fang Liu's gaze and asked, "I heard that the woman's surname is Mu, and she is the distant niece of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. She is quite famous in the circle of ladies in the capital. Judging from her figure, she doesn't seem to be very old? Maybe?  She will be the one who loses the election soon.¡±

    When smelling the fragrance, everyone writes down their feelings, not to criticize them, so no one on Xiyue's side cares about what the other person does. In most cases, they just look at it and then look away.  Fang Xing naturally didn't notice Hua Xi's face just now, but now he saw Fang Liu paying attention to the girl opposite him and said something.

    Hearing his uncle's question, Fang Liu shook his head and frowned: "Maybe you will know later. If she passes this level, she will be a strong enemy."

    Fang Xing was stunned. Fang Liu was very talented and very sensitive to scents. He was one of the best scent experts in his family.  If he says that a person is a powerful enemy, then there must be something special about that person.  Fang Xing couldn't help but take a few more glances at Huaxi. His face was covered with gauze, so he couldn't see any difference.  Prince Cheng, on the other hand, seemed to be looking for her to talk to all the time, but she was sitting with her head half lowered, looking indifferent.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mblly out of words to the county prince, maybe this woman is really different?  Fang Xing thought so.

    The waiter recorded the order in which Liubuxiang was served just now and the number of correct answers among the ten people present and presented it on plain paper.

    After King Tai, King An, King Ping, and Nobu Susukino read it, Nobu Susukino showed a smile on his face. King Tai and King An looked unhappy, but King Ping had no expression, and there was no sign of happiness or anger.

    The King of Thailand handed the results to Ouyang Zheng, "Wenxuan, you announce it."

    Ouyang Zheng took it and took a look, nodded, stood up and announced: "The first fragrance test, the three fragrances are wild flower fragrance, plum calyx fragrance, spring letter in the snow, the order is"

    In the end, Dahua eliminated Yao and Feng, Erye Yu and Yin Chengzong both hit eight times, Huaxi hit exactly seven times, and Xiyue, Gu Lizhu was eliminated.

    Fang Xing heard the result and whispered: "It's passable, but it's not good enough."

    Fang Liu remembered the calm and confident look in Hua Xi¡¯s eyes when he last saw it, and said thoughtfully: ¡°If she did it on purpose, then it would be ten times the success¡±

    Fang Xing didn¡¯t take it seriously, ¡°We¡¯ll see what happens next!¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
