Once the soreness in her wrist had subsided, Yunqing withdrew her hand.
[It turns out the little tyrant is actually quite considerate. It seems that with proper guidance, the child can turn back from the wrong path.]
In early spring, the days are short. By the time Yun Qing finished her work and was ready to go back, it was already dark outside. Xie Rang had been rejected so many times that he didn't know how to ask her to stay. Shun Feng, on the other hand, was quick-witted.
"Lord Li, look how dark it is. Even if we rush there now, the palace gates will be locked soon. Why don't we rest here in the palace tonight?"
Shunfeng's words were clever, showing consideration for Yunqing in every way. Xie Rang thought this servant was even smart, so he gave him an encouraging look, and then he had a reason to act.
"Yes, Grand Tutor, what he said makes sense. Why don't you stay and rest for the night?"
Xie Rang was used to climbing poles, and as soon as he spoke, Yun Qing knew that she would most likely have to stay tonight. She sighed, "Alright, I will stay."
[That little rascal is cunning; he'll have people completely fooled by him in the future.]
Xie Rang was no longer surprised by Yun Qing's evaluation, and even thought that if this method could keep the Grand Tutor in the palace, that would be good.
The Taihe Hall was warm from the underfloor heating. Yun Qing had clearly expended a lot of energy during the day, but at this time she just couldn't fall asleep. Out of boredom, she scrolled through the system page and found that her happiness value had increased again without her noticing, and there was a new item that had been lit up in her inventory.
"Hey!"
Although the system seemed a bit useless, Yun Qing still really hoped that she could get her hands on the things inside, as they were all very useful.
She's not a science student, and her understanding of many things is only superficial. If she could obtain these things, they would be very useful.
If the increase in happiness points is just enough to redeem that item.
How to make soap?
Yun Qing pondered for a moment, then clicked "redeem".
In Dae Hee, most ordinary people still use wood ash to wash clothes, while wealthy families use rice water for starching, but that is relatively troublesome.
She had considered accumulating more happiness points to exchange for more essential things, such as manufacturing methods for cement and glass, but the current level was too low, so perhaps she could proceed gradually.
Soap is convenient and can be used for washing and bathing. If it can be produced, Yunqing's main customers will be the wealthy and noble. If it can open up sales channels, it is not impossible to make a profit.
There will never be a shortage of wealthy people, no matter the time. By having more money in his own hands, Yunqing will be more confident in handling things in the future.
Thinking about it this way, she didn't feel any regret. She closed her eyes to rest, planning to give the method to Uncle Jiang after leaving the palace tomorrow, and have the products made sold in the shops under her house.

With the experience gained the previous day, Yunqing handled the memorials with much more ease the next day.
Upon seeing one of the memorials, she paused: "Commander Lin has settled the refugees and will be returning to the capital soon."
Xie Rang read the letter and nodded: "He handled this matter very well. He should have a greater say in the court when he returns."
[Therefore, it makes sense why ministers would go to provide disaster relief; displaying it in court is a blatant achievement that could lead to promotion.]
Of course, for Lin Chen, he was already in the Little Tyrant's camp, and his position was already at its highest level. However, when Xie Rang took power in the future, he would definitely remember the favor he had done for him.
"It's not enough to have eunuchs protecting you in the palace. Let's replace them when Commander Lin returns."
Yun Qing suppressed the memorial and did not take any action for the time being.
Xie Rang looked at his tutor and smiled, "I'll listen to the tutor."
His Grand Tutor—isn't this a blatant attempt to strip Liang Zhigong of his power?
What can a eunuch do after losing his power in the palace?
Yun Qing's worried expression remained: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, Liang Zhi Guild will rebel."
Xie Rang calmly replied, "His intentions have been there for quite some time now."
Not only Liang Zhigong, but even his good royal uncle is plotting to seize his position.
"With his death, the Prince of Pingjiang will be unchecked. Qi'an, have you thought about what to do?"
[It's not just that there's no one to restrain them; it's practically a monopoly. Historically, minor tyrants only revealed their power when the two were locked in a fierce battle and both were exhausted. This time, things are unlikely to go that way.]
The most terrifying thing is clearly something that is out of control, but for some reason, Yun Qing felt a strange sense of excitement, though she didn't know why.
Xie Rang's gaze fell on Yun Qing, and he said, "Isn't there still the Grand Tutor?"
Yun Qing became interested in this: "What, does Your Majesty want me to become a powerful minister?"
Yun Qing used to not understand why so many people were obsessed with power, until she truly experienced it herself and realized that such things are simply uncontrollable.
I don't know when it started, but she also developed a desire to hold power in her own hands.
"If the Grand Tutor is willing."
Xie Rang provided the answer.
[Trying to trap me, you little brat?]
Yun Qing immediately composed himself: "Then forget it. I'm too busy. It's more reliable for Your Majesty to handle it personally."
Goodbye, little tyrant, you'd better get back to your own business.
For a fleeting moment, Xie Rang almost thought Yun Qing knew that he could hear his thoughts, and he nearly lost his composure.
Heaven and earth can bear witness that he invited her sincerely, but it was obvious that Yun Qing did not believe him.
Ultimately, no conclusion was reached in the discussion.
But whatever happens later, Yun Qing will only stand on Xie Rang's side and will definitely help him.
Yun Qing didn't indulge the little tyrant today. She had matters to attend to outside the palace, and left directly after reviewing the memorials.
Xie Rang couldn't persuade him to stay, so he had to give up.
On the other hand, when Uncle Jiang saw the method for making soap, he thought it could be done.
"Since ancient times, high-ranking officials and nobles have been fond of rare and unusual items. If these are sold, they can fetch a large sum of money."
In addition, soap is a consumable product, so as long as the secret formula is not leaked, this business can thrive for a long time and generate a steady stream of income.
It wasn't a secret, so Yun Qing didn't hide it from her. Diancui, who was watching from the side, immediately asked with starry eyes, "Young Master, should we try making this first? I want to see it too."
The young maid had grown up by Li Yunqing's side since she was a child, and they were practically like sisters. Uncle Jiang was also very tolerant of her.
Yun Qing nodded: "Of course, once the product is made, let's give it to the people in the manor first."
He always treated everyone well, even the maids and servants, which is the best way to win people's hearts.
Diancui beamed, "Thank you, young master!"
After settling things over, Yun Qing, having nothing else to do, went to inspect the shop again. Only after seeing that everything was in good condition did she finally feel completely at ease.
These are all things she will rely on in the future, so there can't be the slightest mistake.
