"Package" cures all diseases for a while. It is said that the ancients apologized to the girls, using not "bags", but "incense".
Let's take the goose pear tent incense in "The Biography of Zhen Huan" as an example. Huan Huan entered the palace again, and Broken Yuxuan already had "Sister Mei" living in it--so the emperor gave her another Yongshou Palace to live in.
It seems that the emperor still missed the days when he and "Wan Concubine" were in love with each other in The Broken Jade Xuan, so he gave the incense in the goose and pear tent concocted by An Lingrong to the "Huan Huan", so the Yongshou Palace also had a "pear fragrant sweet" atmosphere.
Goose pear is a kind of pear with thin skin and juicy skin. The incense in the tent, as the name suggests, is the incense used in the bedroom tent, and the inventor and the style represented by this incense are very compatible - the "Great Zhou Hou" Zhou E Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty Lord Li Yu. Li Yu, like Emperor Huizong of Song, was a famous "emperor of literature and art", and at the same time a "king of the subjugated country" - the ability of playthings to lose their minds is so many that it is no wonder...

There are actually a variety of recipes and preparation methods for the incense in the goose pear tent, but the core is to let the "main incense" such as agarwood be fully "infiltrated" and then maintain the sweet pear fragrance. The formula of "Great Week" is to steam the minced agarwood and steam it in the goose pear juice until the "juice is harvested"—the pear juice is fully adsorbed by the incense. Later recipes, there are also agarwood cut into "toothpicks", inserted on the goose pear steamed together, speculate, steamed after the need to grind or slice.
The method in "The Biography of Zhen Huan" is to first cut off the top of the goose pear belt, dig the rest of the part into the air, stuff the powdered agarwood and sandalwood inside, and then put the top as a lid and steam it three times. Then, it should be the incense powder that has fully absorbed the pear fragrance, and then mixed with other spices, processed, etc., otherwise the emperor will not say that An Lingrong has tried hundreds of spices.
"The Biography of Zhen Huan": An Ling Rong made incense

It is a bit tacky, but using hollowed out fruits or whole flower buds as containers to serve incense and ferment is indeed a common method used by the ancients, and it is the same as the method of cooking food. The gift "Green Plum Powder" prepared by Qianlong for Ruyi out of the Cold Palace in "The Legend of Ruyi" is made with various precious spices and then poured into small green plum blossom buds to let the incense powder stain the plum fragrance, which is also a similar truth.

Because she was calculated once by An Lingrong with "Shu Trace Glue", zhen huan was very careful this time, and deliberately let Wen Taiyi check it again to confirm safety, and then dared to use it with confidence.
The reason why An Lingrong did not use his hands and feet was probably because many people knew a lot about this matter, and if he was tricky, it was not easy to rely on it. Moreover, this incense was originally concocted by An Lingrong for the emperor, which can calm the gods, and if something goes wrong, it will be even more difficult to investigate.
In addition to the above two, there are actually deeper reasons: Wen Tai Doctor told Zhen Huan that when using the incense in the goose pear tent, ylang-ylang flowers cannot be placed in the room at the same time - when the two meet, there is an aphrodisiac effect. From the following text, it can be seen that this is part of An Lingrong's "charm", but this time her plan has been upgraded again, not to "mix" musk into the shu trace glue, but to directly design the "chemical formula":
A (tent incense) + B (ylang-ylang) -->****
As for the single use of incense in the goose pear tent, it is normal and harmless. In the end, An Lingrong cocooned himself and was destroyed in the "experiment" he designed. This is a postscript.
The royal family has resources, and some are manpower, enough for "strange tricks and tricks", whether it is incense in the goose pear tent or green plum powder, although the famous "temperament", it is not impossible. Unfortunately, as gifts and compensation, they are not as popular as imagined. Many things that have been done are difficult to compensate for, and it is not "packaged" (or incense) to cure all diseases.
Ruyi's three-year cold palace grudge can also make Jin Yuyan, Ah Zhen, Gao Xiyue, and Fu Cha Lang Huan back the pot, and the green plum powder actually can't play a big role, mainly because the feelings of Ruyi and "Slag Dragon" are still there, and they will be easily forgiven. However, Zhen Huan's three-year Ganlu Temple is different, she recognizes the coolness of the "emperor", the position in her heart has been replaced by the king of Guojun, the people's hearts have changed, and even the gorgeous palace is like a cage, not to mention the icing on the cake. Try to see, the emperor because he remembered that Huan Huan liked lotus flowers, deliberately planted lotus flowers in a large vat in the courtyard of Yongshou Palace, Zhen Huan immediately expressed disgust, that year's birthday, I saw a pool full of lotus flowers, no matter what others do, it is Dong Shi Gong.
