Lin Yun nodded, took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, and handed it to the proprietress: "How about this?"

The proprietress took the porcelain bottle, opened it, and smelled it. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "This is... rose dew? But the fragrance is clearer than usual, and it also has a touch of coolness."

“This is homemade,” Lin Yun said softly. “I added a little mint and honey, which can not only moisturize the skin but also relieve fatigue.”

The proprietress smelled it carefully again and exclaimed, "Young lady, you have excellent skills! If this recipe could be sold, it would definitely be very popular."

Lin Yun smiled without saying a word, her gaze sweeping around the shop before finally settling on a row of porcelain jars in the corner: "What are those?"

The proprietress followed her gaze and smiled, "That's a newly developed Jade Complexion Cream, specially formulated to treat dry, cracked skin. However, the cost is too high, and ordinary people can't afford it, so it hasn't been put out for sale."

Lin Yun walked over, lifted the lid of a porcelain jar, dipped her fingertip in a little ointment, and gently rubbed it in.

The ointment has a delicate texture, a faint medicinal fragrance, and a warm, smooth feel.

"Could you sell me this recipe?" she suddenly asked.

The proprietress was taken aback, then shook her head: "Young lady, you're joking. This recipe was passed down from my ancestors and cannot be shared with outsiders."

Lin Yun didn't insist, but took out a silver ingot from her purse and placed it on the counter: "Then I'll buy two bottles to try first. If they work well, I'll come back again in the future."

The proprietress beamed with joy upon seeing her generosity and quickly wrapped up two jars of the Jade Complexion Cream, handing them to her.

After leaving the rouge shop, Xiao Tao couldn't help but ask, "Miss, are you really going to open a rouge shop?"

Lin Yun looked at the porcelain jar in her hand and said softly, "No rush, let's try the effects of this Jade Complexion Cream first. If it's really as she said, it's a good start."

The carriage slowly made its way back. Lin Yun closed her eyes to rest, but her mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

The palace is rife with undercurrents, the three empresses are locked in fierce competition, the Linglong Pavilion business is thriving, and she has her heart set on owning a rouge shop... every step requires careful planning.
