Chapter 87 The main character is a profiteer (Updated 2)

That’s right, after the little prince who likes experiments successfully made the first batch of soaps, he started to experiment with soap.

Lu Zexu is very experimental. Different molds with different patterns naturally need different flowers to match.

He used all the flowers in the small garden of the East Palace for his experiments. After the experiment was successful, he extended his claws to the Yu Garden, which had all kinds of flowers.

In Lu Zexu’s words, these flowers are so beautiful, it would be a pity not to use them to make soap.

As soon as the finished product came out, he immediately packed it in boxes, and the first person to send it was the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was the only elder who was good to him in this huge palace.

Lu Zexu liked her very much. At first, he really just wanted to curry favor with her. However, after such a long time of contact and such a large palace, he still preferred to go to the kind old lady.

The elderly Empress Dowager liked peonies the most. Lu Zexu catered to her taste and made the soap in the mold of peony. Even the scent was that of peony. What's more, he added colors.

White, light pink, dark pink, lavender, dark purple, and yellow, a total of six colors, one piece of each, packed in an exquisite box.

The Empress Dowager liked it at first sight.

Lu Zexu even took out a small piece and let the Empress Dowager try it.

It was just such a coincidence that the concubines came to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager and saw the soap sent by Lu Zexu.

Now even the empresses in the harem know the name of Fangfeixuan. Without it, the soaps and soaps in the store are easy to use, but difficult to buy.

Later, the prince was impeached because of Fang Feixuan's affairs, and everyone knew that he had a share in Fang Feixuan's business.

However, the concubines in the harem didn't really believe this.

The prince is the crown prince of a country. It is impossible that he still lacks that few silver coins. How can he do business as a merchant?

Maybe he was plotted. As a 12-year-old child with no one to help him and no mother to plan for him, it would be too difficult to survive in such a huge palace.

As for the concubines in the harem who had no conflict of interest with the prince, a large number of them sympathized with Lu Zexu.

But that's all.

Being in the palace, they know very well what to do and what not to do. Keeping oneself safe is the basic principle that all women in the palace have mastered.

Just when they thought that the prince was framed and plotted against, and that Fangfeixuan in the capital had nothing to do with him, they saw the soap that Lu Zexu personally gave to the empress dowager.

He made it himself.

Everyone was shocked. It turned out that the soap that was popular throughout the capital was made by the prince!

Seeing this peony-shaped soap, everyone could no longer sit still.

Fangfeixuan's things have been getting harder and harder to buy recently. It's not easy to meet the real owner. If I don't buy some back, I feel sorry for coming to the empress dowager today!

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed very smart, able to make such a good soap! I am here to congratulate the Queen Mother for having such a filial grandson." The one

who spoke was the one with the highest rank among the concubines who came.

The Queen Mother had a kind face and smiled and boasted, "The Crown Prince is indeed filial, just take the facial ointment, perfume powder, and various colors of lip balm, and keep sending them to my palace!"

"And the extremely precious perfume, you tell me, I am already a big age, how can I need so many things, but the Crown Prince keeps sending them to me in different ways."

If you had restrained the happiness and joy in your eyes when you said this, they might have believed it.

Thinking of the lip balms of different colors in the Empress Dowager's palace, all the concubines were envious.

They had never seen such lip balms before. They seemed to be called lipsticks. There were more than ten red ones, and the names were all very nice.

There were bright red, rose red, deep red, dark red, wine red, watermelon red, bean paste red, tomato red, maple leaf red, cherry red, etc.

Only the Empress Dowager had them in the palace. Even the highest-ranking noble concubine saw them and ordered people to search everywhere outside the palace, but they couldn't find them.

They couldn't see the prince on weekdays, so they couldn't miss such a good opportunity today.

It was still the concubine with the highest status who spoke first, "I wonder if you have any lipsticks to give to the Empress Dowager, and we all want to buy one."

Lu Zexu looked around, and he didn't know many of his father's concubines.

Well, we can get some.

"Lipstick is extremely difficult to make, and the production is very limited. It was not easy to put together this set for the Empress Dowager."

Lu Zexu pretended to be embarrassed.

Concubine Jia did not give up either, and said with a smile, "As long as Your Highness succeeds, just think of us."

Lu Zexu saw Jin Yuanbao waving at him, and he smiled and reminded, "Mother Concubine Jia, lipstick is too difficult to make, and the price is also very high."

Concubine Jia waved her hand, "We understand all this, the price is high, as long as we can buy it."

After all, this is something that even Concubine Gui can't buy. When the time comes, they will all have one in their hands, and they will feel refreshed after going around Concubine Gui.

Lu Zexu likes such customers the most!

"I don't have lipsticks at the moment, but the East Palace still has some exquisite soaps like this, but the quantity is not much."

Everyone immediately understood, and Concubine Jia immediately said, "I think the peony boxes made by the Empress Dowager are very beautiful, I want a box too."

"Concubine Jia, this won't work. Peonies are what the Imperial Grandmother likes. I only made these six pieces, and I don't plan to make them in the future. Only the Imperial Grandmother can use them."

Lu Zexu explained.

The Empress Dowager on the side laughed so happily, her grandson was so thoughtful! He must be short of money in the soap business. Alas, it's pitiful that he doesn't have his mother's plan to subsidize him.

Fortunately, there are many good things in her private warehouse, waiting for her to pick two boxes and send them to the East Palace.

The Empress Dowager was happy, and the other concubines were also envious when they heard it.

Such special treatment, such unique preference, is really eye-catching!

Some concubines who have children can't help but start thinking about their own children, and it is common for them to disappear for ten days or half a month.

Not to mention filial piety, it is good enough that they are not allowed to subsidize them on weekdays and do not take money from them, let alone filial piety and companionship.

Look at the prince again!

It is true that if you compare goods, you will throw them away, and if you compare people, you will die!

Although there is no peony, there are still many scents of peony, lotus, orchid, osmanthus, green bamboo, etc.

When everyone heard this, what are they waiting for?

Buying it is the kingly way!

They can imagine how popular these soaps will be when they enter Fangfeixuan, and how many ladies, young ladies and young men from aristocratic families will rush to buy them!

By then, it will be even more difficult for those of them in the deep palace to buy the scent of their dreams.
