The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

Liao Qinglan picked up a Boshan furnace.

At first glance, it looks like a very inconspicuous stove. It is made entirely of bronze, with auspicious clouds and flying birds hollowed out and carved on the body of the stove. The craftsmanship is very exquisite.

"This is it." Liao Qinglan was very satisfied.

Jinxiu doubted her own eyes: "It's just an incense burner?"

It's no wonder she made such a fuss. This incense burner was too inconspicuous among the gold, silver and jewelry in the room, especially compared with so many people.

As a gift from a young lady to become a teacher, it is indeed a bit shabby.

"Of course it's more than just an incense burner."

Liao Qinglan put the incense burner into the brocade box and did not return to the bedroom. Instead, she walked to the desk, picked up the pen and began to write.

"Okay!" Liao Qinglan handed the paper to Jinxiu, "Help me prepare these materials tomorrow."

"Agarwood, borneol, sandalwood, angelica dahurica, cold water stone...Miss, are these all used to make incense?" Jinxiu asked.

"Yes, this is the fragrance I specially made for him. Doesn't it show that I am very thoughtful if I give it to him?" Liao Qinglan was moved herself.

"Miss, I didn't even know when you learned perfumery." Jinxiu's face was full of admiration.

Liao Qinglan's pretty face smiled slightly, hiding the bitterness in her heart.

These were all things she learned after entering the palace in her previous life. If she didn't find something to do, how would she pass the long, lonely time in the palace...

Later, when Gu Mingzhao ascended the throne, her health was very poor due to years of excessive worry, so Gu Mingzhao specially invited a famous doctor from outside the palace to take care of her personally.

She was not idle either. She worked with famous doctors to study how to introduce medicine into incense. In her previous life, she had created many good prescriptions. Gu Mingzhao also said that he liked the smell of her palace.

Since you liked it before, there shouldn't be anything wrong with giving it away again.

the next day.

When Liao Qinglan got up, she saw the materials she had written yesterday already laid out on the table.

After she cleaned up her breakfast, she started working at her desk.

The maids in the mansion had never seen anyone making incense before, so they all surrounded Liao Qinglan and watched her soak, steam, fry, grind and mix the incense.

I worked from early morning till late evening and finally completed the preparation.

"Miss, can we light it and try it first?" Jinxiu was full of curiosity about the finished product, and the other maids nodded in agreement.

"Of course." Liao Qinglan handed the incense box to Jinxiu and asked her to light it.

Before long, the smell rose with the smoke and filled the entire room.

The fragrance is as fresh and deep as pine wood, with the unique freshness of wood, making people feel peaceful.

"The young lady is amazing!"

"The young lady knows so many things!"

"This smells much better than the incense purchased in the mansion."

The maids' praises were endless.

Liao Qinglan was very proud and put away the incense box and the incense burner, preparing to find time to give them to Gu Mingzhao.

When she finished her work, an unexpected guest came to visit.

"Sister Lan, you smell so good today!"

Her second cousin Cheng Yuan came over.

Liao Qinglan rubbed his brows and said, "Second cousin, shouldn't you be taking the imperial examination today? Why are you here?"

Her mother, Cheng Yunxiang, was born into the Rongguo Mansion, a century-old family of scholars with many talented people.

But there is only one rare and unique person like her second cousin!

Her grandfather, uncle, and eldest cousin were all brave and skilled border guards, but her second cousin had been weak since childhood and could not even lift a spear.

My uncle thought, it didn’t matter if he couldn’t learn martial arts, since there was no need for him to inherit the family business anyway, so he should just study hard.

But my second cousin had no interest in studying, often skipped classes, and even when he went to class he would fall asleep in class. The teacher was so angry that he complained to Liao Zhendong.

If it weren't for his in-laws, students like him would have been sent back home long ago.

In her previous life, after Cheng Yuan skipped the imperial examination, he seemed to be kicked out of the house by his uncle, and she hadn't seen this cousin for many years since then.

"I won't pass the exam even if I go, so why waste my time?" Cheng Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.

"Why did my cousin come to see me today?" Liao Qinglan asked even though she knew the answer.

"If I don't take the exam, my father will probably be furious. I'm going to leave the capital to stay out of the spotlight, so I came to say goodbye to Sister Lan." Cheng Yuan said with a smile.

In the previous life, because of her, the queen, her father, brother, uncle, and cousin were all imprisoned.

When my second cousin heard about the great changes in the capital, he rushed back with a large amount of gold, silver, jade and precious stones, and smoothed out the relationships for his family, thus saving his family from a lot of physical suffering.

Later, she finally begged Gu Mingzhao to agree to let her family go, and it was also relying on the power and connections accumulated by her second cousin over the years that she moved her entire family to Shu.

"Second cousin, you must take good care of yourself when you are out there. I am also very curious about the outside world. Can you send me a letter every month and tell me about what you see and hear?"

Cheng Yuan raised his eyebrows: "I thought you would scold me for not making progress like everyone else, but I didn't expect that..."

In her previous life, if Cheng Yuan hadn't been there to take care of things, her family members would probably not have survived in prison until Gu Mingzhao let them go.

In the end, it was this unworthy descendant, who was regarded by everyone as unlearned and unskillful, who saved everyone's lives.

How could she possibly stop him?

"Cousin, please tell me what you need. I will do my best to help you as long as I can." Liao Qinglan promised.

Cheng Yuan couldn't help but touch her head and said with a smile: "Well, you are so serious, then give me the recipe of the incense you made first, I will make it and sell it, and I will have the money for the journey."

Liao Qinglan had concocted many such recipes in her previous life. She picked up a pen and wrote down more than a dozen of them and handed them to Cheng Yuan.

"The effects of the medicine I'm burning today are mainly analgesic, calming, sleep-inducing, refreshing, treating headaches, and replenishing blood. The formula and effects are all on paper. If second cousin gets rich, don't forget me." Liao Qinglan teased.

Cheng Yuan didn't expect that his cousin actually had this ability: "Not bad, it turns out that sister Lan is really a hidden talent."

With his experience traveling around the world, he was sure that the incense made from these recipes would be popular in the future. He had to find a way to run it well and not waste his cousin's hard work.

"Don't worry, cousin. Once I finish making it and try it out, I'm sure I'll make a lot of money. We'll split it 50-50 then." Cheng Yuan laughed heartily.

Liao Qinglan had never lacked money in her two lifetimes. Even when the queen was stripped of her power, relying on Liao Zhendong's power, no one in the palace dared to shortchange her on food and clothing.

She gave the prescription to Cheng Yuan and never thought about asking for any benefits in return.

"No need, as long as you find it useful, you can keep the money you earn." Liao Qinglan shook her head.

"That won't do. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Just consider it as me buying out your prescription. You can't give it to anyone else in the future."

Thinking about how Cheng Yuan left in his previous life and came back many years later, Liao Qinglan didn't take his words seriously and just dealt with it.

The brother and sister chatted for a while and then said goodbye formally.
