Chirp pondered deeply, and suddenly an idea came to mind.
As soon as it was light, Qiuqiu started clamoring to go to the palace to visit the Empress.
Xu Ruyun braided Qiuqiu's hair and said, "What's wrong with you today? Usually, you don't want to get up even after being called several times when you come to the palace. But today, without being summoned, you got up very early."
Chiu Chiu looked at her mother with a serious expression and said, "Mother, Chiu Chiu has something important to say this time!"
Xu Ruyun thought to herself: What important things could such a young child possibly do?
This time, I'm going to make a fortune!
Xu Ruyun: Get rich? How? Whose money does she want to make money off?
Chiu Chiu ate two bites of rice, then hopped away with her little crossbody bag on her back.
Xu Ruyun: It smells so good!
Xu Ruyun smelled the fragrance in the air as Qiuqiu passed by.
Xu Ruyun: Am I imagining things? Today's Chuchu doesn't smell like milk, but rather, it smells like a woman's pleasant fragrance!
Chiu Chiu went to the palace to see the Empress.
The Queen happily hugged Chiu Chiu in her arms.
Chuchu dumped everything from her bag onto the table.
Chirp: "Your Majesty, these are all gifts from Chirp!"
The Queen looked at the strange and wonderful things in front of her and said, "Thank you, my darling! But what are these? They smell so good!"
Chuchu picked up the perfume and gave it to the Queen.
Xiao Feng quickly explained from the side, "Your Majesty, this is perfume. Just a light spray is incredibly fragrant. Because this perfume is quite expensive, it also has top, middle, and base notes."
The Queen inhaled the perfume with rapt attention: "This is amazing!"
Xiaofeng: "When the perfume is first sprayed, you can smell the fragrance itself. This fragrance is a combination of citrus and herbs. Citrus is a scent that brings happiness. After the top notes of the perfume disappear, the middle notes begin. You can smell it; it's a scent of flowers and fruits."
The Queen smelled the fragrance on her sleeve and said, "Indeed, this smells different from before."
Xiaofeng: "After the middle notes of the perfume disappear, there will be its base notes. The base notes are the scent of ambergris, which has a more mellow and long-lasting fragrance."
Xiaofeng is truly my capable assistant. She explained things so thoroughly. My little mouth can't possibly ramble on like that.
Xiao Feng turned around and looked at Qiu Qiu: Master, are you praising me or scolding me?
[I'm so proud of you! Keep it up!]
Chiu Chiu gave Xiao Feng a thumbs up.
The Queen gently touched the perfume.
Empress: "Good, good! Reward me!"
Before long, both Qiuqiu and Xiaofeng had jewels and jade artifacts bestowed upon them by the Empress.
[I'm rich! I'm rich! These are all wonderful things bestowed upon me by the Empress! Empress, Chuchu loves you!]
The Queen smiled and looked at Qiuqiu: What a little money-grubber. I wonder what she needs so much money for at such a young age.
Chiu Chiu and Xiao Feng happily expressed their gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Empress: "Speaking of which, I should thank you all properly. Also, what is this?"
The Queen picked up an exquisitely packaged lipstick.
Chiu Chiu blurted out, "It's lipstick!"
Empress: "Lipstick? What's it for?"
Xiao Feng opened the lipstick and said, "Your Majesty, shall I try it on for you?"
The maidservant beside the Empress wanted to apply the ointment for her, but she had never seen this product before and had no idea where to begin.
Xiao Feng picked up the lipstick and applied it to the Empress's lips.
After applying the paint, Chiu Chiu started clapping her hands.
Chirp: "Liangliang is so pretty, so beautiful!"
The Queen couldn't wait to pick up the mirror and look at herself.
However, her bronze mirror was not clear at all; it could only reflect a rough outline.
Chiu Chiu simply took out a clear mirror from her bag and showed it to the Queen.
The Empress saw herself so clearly for the first time, and she was also amazed by her own beauty in the mirror.
Xiaofeng: "The color of this lipstick is multi-colored. It changes according to the wearer's body temperature and the external environment."
The Queen looked at herself in the mirror with delight and said, "Wonderful! Chirp chirp, where did you find all these things?"
Xiao Feng was afraid that Qiu Qiu would let something slip, so she said, "This was carefully developed by our master and her brothers."
Chiu Chiu gave Xiao Feng a thumbs up again.
Xiao Feng, you really know how to talk!
Xiao Feng said, "Your Majesty, our master is too young to speak in complicated terms, and it is inconvenient for the three young masters to enter the inner palace. So, Xiao Feng will speak on his behalf."
Chiu Chiu: "Xiao Feng, you speak."
The Queen nodded.
Xiao Feng: "Master feels that the national treasury is empty. If these things can flow into the market, they may generate great profits, and the people and the country can gradually become richer."
The Empress said, "Good, very good! Qiuqiu is so young, yet she already has such a strong sense of national responsibility. Well done!"
Xiao Feng: "If this matter is entrusted to the Crown Prince, it will also help stabilize his position. Your Majesty, I have overstepped my bounds."
Empress: "It's alright! You are also thinking of the Crown Prince and the country."
Without any hesitation, Chiu Chiu grabbed a large date from the table, stuffed it into her mouth, and then nodded vigorously.
"That's right, I'm doing this so that the Crown Prince can secure his position and the throne. Otherwise, some people will be eyeing this opportunity and snatch it away, leaving us with nothing."
The Queen listened to Qiuqiu's heartfelt words and was deeply moved.
Queen: It's really tough on Qiuqiu. A child this age should be carefree! But Qiuqiu carries too much on her shoulders.
Xiao Feng: "Your Majesty, what we lack now is an opportunity to promote these things."
Empress: "Indeed."
Chiu Chiu stuffed an apple into her mouth and said, "Isn't the Crown Prince's birthday coming soon?"
The Queen hugged Qiuqiu and kissed her on the cheek.
Empress: "Chirp, that's wonderful! How come I didn't think of that? In ten days it will be the Crown Prince's birthday. I will arrange a birthday banquet for him and invite officials and their families to attend!"
Chirp chirped happily, "Oh, that's great!"
[There's going to be lots and lots of delicious food! I'm going to eat so much of it!]
The Queen looked at Qiuqiu with a helpless smile: "This child, all she thinks about is food." No, not entirely food. Actually, it's quite good this way. At least it helps her relax.
After finishing her business, Qiuqiu bid farewell to the Empress.
Xiao Feng and Qiu Qiu happily left with a whole package full of gifts from the Empress.
On the way, Chiu Chiu was still worried about something.
