"Brother! Brother! Everything is brother! When have you ever thought about me?"
The Sixth Princess collapsed. Her brother was so good to her and she was willing to do many things for him, but she could not tolerate her mother only having eyes for her brother!
Concubine Li was so angry that she raised her hand to slap her again, but was stopped by her maid: "Your Majesty, you have an appointment to speak with Madam Yu tomorrow, please don't forget it."
Mrs. Yu's husband's family is Lord Yu. Although he has no real power, he has the honorary title of Prince Taifu and is also named Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, making him the official teacher of the prince.
Back then, the Crown Prince was naughty and made Lord Yu so angry that he submitted a letter of resignation. In the end, he only received a position as a scholar in the Hanlin Academy and edited books in the Wuying Palace.
The above-mentioned blessings are all because Lord Yu is not only a well-educated man, but also has disciples all over the world. In addition, the Yu family's reputation among scholars is the greatest help to the Fourth Prince in his bid for the throne.
Lord Yu's youngest son was of the same age as the Sixth Princess, so Concubine Li planned to have the Yu family marry the princess in order to tie the interests of the Fourth Prince firmly to those of the Yu family.
Concubine Li had already made an appointment to speak with Madam Yu, but now she had forgotten about it because of the Sixth Princess's anger. Now that she remembered, she held the Sixth Princess's face and examined it carefully: "Call the imperial physician quickly, don't hurt your face, you have to see people tomorrow."
"I won't see you!"
The Sixth Princess became rebellious, got up, pushed Concubine Li away and ran away.
"Evil creature!" Concubine Li fell to the ground, pounding the ground and cursing in anger.
Concubine Min returned to her palace with several princesses. Before she could say anything, the seventh princess knelt down.
The eighth princess and the ninth princess looked at each other and knelt down as well.
Concubine Min laughed in anger: "Okay! Since you know it's wrong, why do you still do it!"
The Seventh Princess lowered her head and said, "If my daughter doesn't do it, the Sixth Princess will do it, and she will even frame my daughter. So why don't we all do it together? The law won't punish everyone."
"You still think you're right!" Concubine Min picked up the feather duster and hit the seventh princess twice on the back. She also hit the eighth and ninth princesses twice - but she used a little less force.
Then Concubine Min threw away the feather duster and asked someone to call the mother of the Eighth and Ninth Princesses over: "We sisters will have a meal together, and you sisters, come and copy Buddhist scriptures together and calm your minds!"
It was cold outside, so Concubine Min let them freeze outside, calling it "calm down."
The biological mother of the eighth and ninth princesses came over and after hearing what Concubine Min said, she broke out in a cold sweat.
The Eighth Princess's mother hurriedly thanked her, "Sister Minfei was right to hit me. In my opinion, she should have been beaten severely! If she hadn't been beaten, she wouldn't have learned her lesson! She was used as a pawn by Lu Cainu just now, and now she's been fooled by the Sixth Princess again."
The Ninth Princess's mother glared at her daughter, filled with fear. "We were not favored to begin with. If this were to happen, my two sisters would be in even greater trouble. Thank you, Sister Minfei, for your help."
Concubine Min looked at the children in the yard, shivering with cold but still copying books. They were so cold that they blew a breath of warm air on their hands and continued copying. She felt distressed: "These children have grown up together. It's rare to have such a close friend in this palace. When they get married in the future, they will have to rely on each other. They should help each other."
After that, she sent hand warmers and hot tea to the three princesses and said, "Tell them to copy the books well and don't slack off."
Concubine Min punished the three princesses.
Not long after Qin Wan returned, she heard that the Sixth Princess had run away. She couldn't help but laugh, "It's really her own fault."
Zigui was full of admiration: "The Crown Princess is really amazing. She solved this matter effortlessly and made Concubine Li suffer a loss."
Qin Wan disagreed. "The princesses are too impatient and haven't set up their plan properly. If they had waited patiently for a while, I would have completely taken control of the imperial kitchen. If only one person had used a self-torture trick, I would have gotten into trouble myself."
Zigui smiled and said, "The Crown Princess is clever and will definitely be able to resolve this."
Qin Wan smiled at her and said nothing else. After dealing with the affairs of the Eastern Palace, she asked Zhenzhen and Taoyao to come over and reply.
Qin Wan had been married into the palace for some time, and it was also the first time for Zhenzhen and Taoyao to go into the palace to answer questions. They were actually a little nervous, but when they saw that their young lady was the same as usual, or even more radiant, they relaxed.
After Qin Wan asked about various daily matters, she was most concerned about the progress of the sanitary napkins: "How is it going now?"
Zhenzhen brought over fabric samples: "We've made more than ten kinds of fabrics, and I don't know which one is the most suitable."
Qin Wan took the cloth and carefully examined the breathability, softness, and feel of each one. She also asked someone to bring water to check the water absorption of each one.
Tao Yao knew that Qin Wan wanted all women in the world to have access to sanitary napkins. Knowing the cost, she felt bad for the money. "Crown Princess, making these things is very expensive. If you were to make a disposable menstrual pad, the cost would be too high. How many people in the world could afford it?"
Qin Wan picked out three types of fabric and asked them to go back and continue working on it. "These are quite absorbent and soft enough. You can try making them thinner and more flexible. The cost can also be reduced a little bit."
After saying this, she replied to Tao Yao, "We can use the business model of Piaoxiangju and Yuchuan Tea. Make a few of the most profitable products and sell them to wealthy ladies. The rest can be sold for one penny per piece. This way, the poorest families might be willing to spend a few pennies on their daughters. When the daughters grow up, they will definitely be willing to spend money on their own children."
Tao Yao suddenly realized: "Is the Crown Princess planning to subtly get everyone to use sanitary napkins?"
"Yes." Qin Wan nodded. She had never said these words to Tao Yao before, but she just had this plan. Now that she told them, they would naturally know what to do in the future.
Qin Wan is making good progress, and Haitang is also making good progress at Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
She now monopolizes Lu Yan's favor and lives in the study in the main courtyard, as if she has become the master of the main courtyard.
Haitang came from a poor family, so she was also smart. She knew that Bai Wanyi didn't like her, so she never went to pay her respects and just stayed in the main courtyard without going out.
Even when Aunt Jia came to visit, Haitang rarely spoke to her.
On this day, Aunt Jia knocked on the door of the main courtyard again.
Haitang entertained her in her room with a smile. There was no other way. Aunt Jia came first, and it was her elder sister. As the younger sister, she naturally had to entertain her well: "Sister, have some tea."
Haitang had tea served and sat aside without saying anything else.
Aunt Jia glanced at her and said, "You are so boring. What's wrong with talking to me for a few more words?"
Haitang smiled faintly: "If we don't agree, I won't say much. I'm afraid that Sister will find me annoying, so I'll keep my mouth shut. If Sister wants to look around, please go ahead."
Aunt Jia was bored again, so she simply got up and strolled around the main courtyard - she did the same thing in the past, strolling around the main courtyard as soon as she arrived.
