Chapter 218 Give Her Life
The maid entered Yongning Pavilion with steady steps, holding a tray in her hand, and on the tray were several new hairpin and ring jewelry from Yunjian Yansi.
"Miss, these are some new hairpins from Yunjian Yansi. The shopkeeper of Yunjian Yansi said that these are new products and they are specially given to the distinguished guests in the shop."
Qiao Wanyan had her hands folded, her fingertips wrapped in flower petals, and was dyeing her nails with Impatiens. Hearing this, she looked up and took a look, and became interested in one of the pearl earrings.
Zi Yuan also noticed it, and before Qiao Wanyan could speak, she walked over, picked up the pair of pearl earrings and presented them to her.
"Miss, this pair of pearl earrings is really exquisite. They look like fine work. The color and size of the pearls are also excellent. They will definitely look good with the light gauze skirt sent by Yongzhou a few days ago."
Qiao Wanyan nodded slightly, "Put it away, and you can divide the rest among yourselves."
She paused after she finished speaking, "But I don't buy things at Yunjian Yansi very often, so how can I be considered a distinguished guest?"
A maidservant said, "Young lady is a noble lady in the capital. Who doesn't know the name of my young lady? Yunjian Yan Si must also want to take the opportunity to please you, young lady, and hope that you will go a few more times to take care of their business! They will be grateful for the little money you give them!"
The young lady is a frequent customer of Huibaolou. The money she spends there every year is enough to cover the lifetime expenses of an ordinary family. Which silver shop in the capital doesn't want the young lady to patronize it often?
It’s a pity that those silver shops don’t have the fine workmanship and variety of styles as Huibaolou.
Qiao Wanyan smiled, as if she was coaxed into happiness, with a hint of warmth in her eyes and brows.
The maid walked in from outside the door, "Miss, the Tenth Princess is here."
Not long after he finished speaking, He Baozhu walked in quickly.
"Wan Yan, I brought you something good!"
She took the small box from Wei Mo's hand behind her as if she was offering a treasure, and took out a palm-sized blue and white porcelain piece from it.
The lid was opened, revealing a standing wick inside, and something solidified underneath that looked like a candle.
"What is this?" Qiao Wanyan asked in confusion.
What's so special about candles in china?
He Baozhu lit the candle wick without saying a word, and sat aside waiting obediently for it to burn.
Until the candle wick burned to the paste below, a faint sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance spread.
Qiao Wanyan blinked slightly and became interested.
He Baozhu felt a sense of satisfaction when she saw her big eyes focused on the fragrance on the table. She knew that Meibao would definitely like it, and it was worth it for her to stay up late and study hard these few days.
Qiao Wanyan leaned forward and took a deep breath, her nose filled with that sweet fragrance.
"Why does this candle smell like osmanthus?"
He Baozhu grinned and stared at Qiao Wanyan's curious face. She was not exaggerating at all. Looking at Meibao's face up close, it was almost no different from a model.
Every time she looked at it, she sighed inwardly, how could a person grow up like this?
Her face inherited the good genes of the royal family, but compared to hers, one was Nuwa's graduation project, and the other was just something Nuwa casually sculpted.
"I made osmanthus essential oil and added it to candles. This is the first thing I researched and planned to sell. What do you think?"
Qiao Wanyan nodded, "I like it very much. If this thing can be sold, it will definitely make a lot of money like the soap!"
"As long as you like it! I also made rose-flavored and jasmine-flavored ones. I'll have someone send some to you later. You'll be the first to enjoy them in the entire capital!"
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "Baozhu, you are so nice!"
He Baozhu looked at her sweet smile and had only one thought in her mind.
Give her life!!!
"What's the name of this thing?"
"I haven't taken it yet, how about you come and take it?"
Qiao Wanyan pursed her lips and thought carefully, "The fragrance that spreads after this thing is lit is very clever. It can add a beautiful atmosphere to a boring and ordinary room. What do you think of calling it fragrance?"
He Baozhu was slightly stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay! Let's call it Fragrance!"
"By the way, Wanyan, are you feeling better?"
Qiao Wanyan nodded: "Much better now. Yun Heng's medicine is very effective. The wound has faded so much that it is almost invisible."
"That's good. Fortunately, you are familiar with Divine Doctor Yun, otherwise you would really suffer. But why did I hear that Divine Doctor Yun is going back to Pharmacist Valley? If he can stay, you will feel more at ease."
Qiao Wanyan sighed and said, "I don't mind, but since Yun Heng is in the mansion, it's inevitable that there will be people who want to come to visit. Those with lower official positions than Daddy will naturally not be seen directly, but those with higher official positions than Daddy will also require Daddy to deal with and refuse, which is bound to be troublesome."
The most important thing is that the emperor would summon Yun Heng into the palace from time to time.
She understood that Yun Heng didn't like entering the palace, but as a citizen of Dayu, it would be fine if he was not in the capital, but now that he was here, she naturally couldn't refuse.
If I refuse, the Shangshu Mansion will also be implicated.
This is the advantage of being an emperor. You have power and no one dares to disobey you.
The best ending is for Yun Heng to return to Pharmacist Valley.
He won't be forced to do things he doesn't like, and Dad won't have to waste energy dealing with colleagues.
"That's true, but you and Yun Heng have such a good relationship, you can meet anytime if necessary." He Baozhu comforted.
"Your humble servant greets the princess."
Guo Licheng walked in with a plate of osmanthus cake in her hand.
"Why are you here?"
Qiao Wanyan said: "After returning to Beijing, she came every day, leaving early and returning late to take care of me. She really puts a lot of effort into it."
Guo Licheng pursed her lips and smiled, then placed the osmanthus cake on the table between them.
"That's not right, Miss. I have nothing to do at home anyway, so I might as well come over and keep Miss company to relieve her boredom. I don't know why, but I'm always in a good mood when I see Miss. Maybe seeing a beautiful person makes me happy."
Qiao Wanyan smiled, her hands were still stained with paint and she couldn't move, so she saw Ziyuan pick up a piece of osmanthus cake and feed it to her.
He Baozhu curled her lips.
"Seeing beautiful people makes me happy~~"
whispering sound.
False, false woman!
Guo Licheng sat down. "I heard that the palace examination will be held the day after tomorrow, and the results will be out on the third day after the palace examination. My younger brother also participated in the examination. I heard that there is a person named Xu Shujian who is very talented and will most likely be the top scorer."
Qiao Wanyan did not respond. Even her father praised Xu Shujian's talent. But in the end, he did not win the first place, but the third place.
But whether she passed or failed had nothing to do with her. She just wanted to know whether the prince, who was presiding over the imperial examination, had seen Xu Shujian's writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
If she saw it, she would really like to see the prince's reaction.
Not long ago, she expressed her obscure love to him affectionately, and then she found out that she had given a gift to a handsome poor scholar.
People's hearts are unstable, and she likes to make others worry and lose sleep because of her.
If you are sure that the other person is the one who loves you wholeheartedly, then you will become addicted to the ambiguity if the time is short, but it will become boring if the time is long.
There is an old saying that is very true: once you get something, you don’t cherish it.
After all, I am the same.
When I first received the tongcao flowers, I wanted to wear them all on my head, but after a long time I threw them aside.
Human hearts are all so evil, what makes the prince any different?
