Her Prince's Mansion, which covers more than 100 acres, not only has many courtyards, but even the lotus pond where golden lotuses were originally planted has become one of the gardens in her mansion.
So this time, she not only came to stay by herself, but also several of her sisters and Madam Yu came along.
Since they were all girls, and there was no elder around to look after them, the Yu family elders were worried.
"I just came back from outside with my fourth sister."
"My second sister and I went to the workshop this morning. Some essential oils and soaps have already been made. Fu Guang, can you take a look and see if there are any problems?"
As she spoke, Yu Ningxin took out several small porcelain bottles and several exquisitely crafted carved wooden boxes from the box beside her.
Yue Fuguang sat up, looked at them one by one, and then smelled them.
Essential oils are made from summer flowers such as roses, lilies, and lotuses.
"The scent is lovely. You made this just in time; I've just run out of my plum blossom and orchid scented dew, and I only have a few bottles of pear blossom and peach blossom scented dew left."
After putting down the essential oil and perfume, she picked up the soap from the carved wooden box, and a pleasant floral scent filled her nostrils.
Each bar of soap, as white, pale yellow, or translucent as cream, is engraved with different beautiful floral patterns.
Its exquisiteness surpasses even those she bought from the system's shopping mall.
"It looks beautiful. Have any of you ladies tried it and seen the results?"
"Several of us have tried it, and our skin became smooth and delicate after using it. The cleansing effect is also excellent."
Yu Ningxin stretched out her delicate hand, sniffed it lightly, and said, "The fragrance lasts a long time too."
"Fu Guang, Third Sister and the others are still overseeing the two workshops. If you have no problems here, then we'll ramp up production?"
Yu Ningxuan is an impatient person. "The ones made in the spring have long been sold out. I receive several letters from the city every day."
These were all sent by the ladies and young misses of various families, urging me to stock up on new goods!
At this point, Yu Ningxin covered her mouth and laughed, "Even my mother and grandmother have quite a few ladies who are indirectly urging me to get back to work."
When this was mentioned, Yu Ningxuan laughed and said, "I didn't escape it from my brothers, grandfather, or uncles either."
She looked at Yue Fuguang, who was leisurely lying in the rocking chair, and said, "I guess the only place in the house that is quiet is in front of Fuguang. No one dares to come and urge me."
According to her grandfather, His Majesty has repeatedly hinted that the family's stock has been sent to the palace, and now her grandfather is afraid of being summoned by His Majesty alone.
Yue Fuguang laughed and said, "It's no use urging them. Even if we don't deliberately create scarcity, our current production capacity can't keep up with their demand."
"Aren't you going to expand your business?"
The moonlight shimmered, "Let's talk about it in a few years."
Now everyone in the government and the public is on edge. The threat of a three-year drought hangs over their heads, and the land is being used to grow edible crops. For now, she can just play around in her own territory.
After finishing that, she turned the conversation back to the telegram, "Second Sister, has Second Brother said whether he has investigated the other party's background and intentions?"
"My second brother's telegram said that Zheng Feng and Zhang Fang led a group of men to arrest several people, all of whom were spies from the Western Qiang and Northern Li regions. As for their purpose, they were naturally there to gather information because they found the crops growing there to be novel."
Yu Ningxuan thought for a moment and then said, "Everyone in Dayan knows that you have found a high-yield potato variety. I guess they want to see if you have planted potatoes in your Sancha land!"
Yue Fuguang smiled and, upon hearing Yu Ningxuan's guess, realized that her second sister had indeed put her mind to it.
"That will truly disappoint them!"
Moonlight's smile was full of malice. "These kinds of people can't be completely eradicated. Once they discover that my rice is highly productive, they will definitely take action."
Yu Ningxin was a little worried, "The next batch of two thousand soldiers won't set off until the end of August. Will those five thousand be able to withstand the espionage from the Western Qiang and Northern Li?"
Sending scouts is one thing, but if we send troops, five thousand of them are all new recruits who have never seen blood, and we may not be able to handle them.
Once they find it profitable, the two families will likely join forces, just like they did with the previous assassinations of Fu Guang.
Since becoming Yue Fuguang's study companions, Yu Ningxin and Yu Ningxuan have gained more and more information and broadened their horizons with Yue Fuguang's intentional and unintentional guidance.
Her ideas were different from those of most young ladies in Dayan.
Yue Fuguang revealed a sly smile, "Don't worry, before they can even steal them, someone will 'secretly resell' the rice seeds."
If you want it, I'll give it to you. Robbing is too much trouble and people will die. It's better to spend more money to buy it!
The two men could tell from her smile, which resembled a cat that had stolen a fish, that her schemes were mostly malicious.
"What mischief are you plotting now? I think..."
Before Ning Xuan could finish speaking, He Jin strode in anxiously. Upon seeing Yue Fuguang, he clasped his hands in greeting and said, "My lord, Qi Xiang, the guard of the Crown Prince's residence, just reported that the imperial estate was attacked. His Majesty, along with the Crown Prince and other officials, have gone there."
His Majesty requests that you also come over.”
"The imperial estate was attacked?" Yue Fuguang sat up abruptly from her recliner. "Where is Qi Xiangren?"
"In the outer courtyard."
"Get the car ready!"
As she spoke, she stood up and walked out, and the sisters Shen Chunying and Luo Shendong quickly followed.
After taking only a few steps, Shen Chunying quickly ran back, picked up the ice chest that had only partially melted, and left.
It's so hot outside, and there's no ice to cool the carriage. How can the adults stand it?
Upon seeing this, Luo Shendong also turned around to get some snacks, tea, and chilled watermelon.
Walking behind Yue Fuguang, He Jin saw Shen Chunying's actions and then looked at Luo Shendong running back, silently giving her a thumbs up.
I've learned something!
No wonder the adults like these two sisters the most among them; there's a reason for it—they're just so considerate!
