Qian Ruoyu immediately understood and quickly spoke to the three concubines.

"Don't worry, the three of you. Although these things are tributes, they are not tributes in the true sense. Instead, they are comparable to tribute items!"

Qian Ruoyu corrected Rong Fei slightly.

Concubine Rong also nodded immediately. After all, if this thing was really a tribute, it would be a capital crime!

"These are brought back from the Western Regions by a friend of mine. I guarantee they are genuine. If you don't believe me, you can try them out. They have just been opened."

Qian Ruoyu generously opened one of the boxes and let the three concubines try it.

The three concubines had never seen such high-quality stuff before. They liked it very much when they saw it, especially with the help of Qian Ruoyu and Rong Fei, they tried it a little.

The makeup of the three of them was not bad, and with Qian Ruoyu's rouge and powder, they looked even more beautiful and attractive.

Therefore, after trying Qian Ruoyu's things, the three of them immediately showed happy smiles on their faces.

The makeup effect is smooth and natural, and it looks completely natural.

One of them asked.

"This... your rouge and powder are not cheap, but I'm afraid they are very expensive, right?"

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu felt a little troubled. After all, most of the things here were bought by her with one or two taels of silver. How much price should she set for these concubines?

This is bad. I didn’t confirm the price in the palace before coming here. If I give too low, I will suffer a loss. If I give too high, I’m afraid the three concubines will not dare to pay attention to me.

This made Qian Ruoyu hesitant.

Another concubine spoke up.

"Hmm... Sister is right. This thing is really delicate to use, and it also has a light floral scent. I don't feel uncomfortable when I apply it on my face. On the contrary, it feels very natural! This thing is not cheap!"

The last concubine also spoke.

"Isn't this thing of yours very expensive? If it is too expensive, we can't afford it! This kind of stuff, this kind of quality, is definitely worthy of tribute. I heard that last time a young eunuch took out the tribute rouge from the palace and sold it among the people for a full sixty taels of silver!"

When she heard them say this, Qian Ruoyu began to waver in her heart about the price. If it was sixty taels of silver, perhaps a fluctuation up or down would not be a bad idea.

But obviously according to what this concubine said, sixty taels of silver was too much!

At this time, Concubine Rong also spoke.

"Sisters, don't worry. Since my sister brought the things here, it means she knows the prices. And I introduced her to you, so she won't charge you too high a price."

Concubine Rong was also defending Qian Ruoyu.

Qian Ruoyu thought about it and felt that if she offered too high a price, these concubines would not only not accept it, but would even make Concubine Rong lose face.

After all, since she is not the emperor's favorite concubine, her salary is relatively low. Besides, only when this batch of goods is sold out will more people buy them.

So after thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu decided to just fold it in half!

"Don't worry, the price I give you is definitely the lowest. If you are willing, each of these boxes will only cost thirty taels of silver! If you don't accept it, I can give you..."

But before Qian Ruoyu could finish her words, one of the concubines said in surprise.

"Ah! Only thirty taels of silver?"

The other people also nodded and looked at Qian Ruoyu intently.

Oops, too low!

Heartbroken!

Qian Ruoyu began to regret at this time. She didn't expect that a half-price discount could make these concubines so surprised. But since she had already asked for it, there was no way to change it.

Qian Ruoyu could only speak slightly tactfully.

"Yes... that's right! After all, it was Sister Rong Fei who introduced you here, so I will naturally give you a lower price. Thirty taels of silver is my offer, and I'm sure all the sisters have no objection, right?"

The three of them shook their heads at the same time.

"No, no, why would I have any objection? How many boxes of this powder do you have? I want two boxes."

"I want two boxes of this goose yellow, too!"

The three of them were almost rushing to speak, and Qian Ruoyu nodded quickly.

After hearing the price Qian Ruoyu mentioned, the first person to feel relieved was Concubine Rong!

Concubine Rong was right. She was the one who introduced the three concubines. If Qian Ruoyu could not give a low price, then Concubine Rong would be the one who would lose face.

And it is most likely to cause the relationship between Rong Fei and her three sisters to deteriorate.

Concubine Rong had expected that Qian Ruoyu would offer fifty taels of silver, but she didn't expect it was only thirty taels of silver. It seemed that she was really given enough face!

At this time, Rong Fei showed a slight smile on her face.

Qian Ruoyu helped the three concubines in front of her to tidy up some things and placed them in front of them.

"Okay, okay, here are your things. Your five portions, your three portions, and your four portions."

Seeing Qian Ruoyu preparing for them so thoughtfully, the three concubines were extremely happy, and each of them looked up to Qian Ruoyu even more.

These things in the palace are not ordinary products. Their quality is comparable to those of tribute, and the price is half as much. How can they not be happy?

But Qian Ruoyu took the opportunity to speak.

"Sisters, this price is because of Sister Rong Fei. I also hope that you can help me recommend a few more sisters to come here. This price can be regarded as a reward to you!"

When Concubine Rong saw that Qian Ruoyu was so eloquent, she felt more at ease. After all, she didn't need to speak in person this time.

Originally, Concubine Rong wanted to help Qian Ruoyu to persuade the concubines to help, but she didn't expect Qian Ruoyu to take the initiative to speak.

After the three concubines heard this, they spoke one after another.

"No problem, no problem. I just happen to have a younger sister who also wants rouge and powder. I was thinking of asking the eunuchs to help bring some in from outside the palace, but the prices are too high and the quality isn't that good!"

"I'll bring her over right away and bring back the money. What do you think?"

Qian Ruoyu nodded quickly, and Concubine Rong also nodded with relief.

The other two concubines said the same thing, and then left the palace one by one, taking the rouge and powder they had just bought.

In order to avoid Qian Ruoyu from worrying, Concubine Rong said this at this time.

"Don't worry, sister. The three of them are just going back to get the silver and introduce the sisters here. They will never take it away casually. I will definitely get this silver back for you!"

Qian Ruoyu smiled lightly and said calmly.

"Oh, don't worry, sister, I'm not worried about this!"

"But this time, I have your help, which really gave me great support... I don't know how to thank you..."
