The General and the Princess

Xiao Yinxue watched Di Shengyue change the plaque of the incense powder shop to "Xueyue Xiangfang", her cheeks turned a little red.

"I don't feel ashamed to have such a name." Although Xiao Yinxue said so, she still felt a little sweet in her heart.

"Oh?" Di Shengyue curled her lips, and looked at Xiao Yinxue jokingly, "Princess is talking about it, why don't you feel ashamed. I took it from the four characters 'Fenghuaxueyue' in the "Preface to the Collection of Yichuan Jiyang". It’s about beautiful scenery in four seasons.”

"You..." Knowing that what Di Shengyue said was all nonsense, Xiao Yinxue couldn't say anything to refute.

Immediately, she turned her back in embarrassment and ignored Di Shengyue.

"If the princess doesn't like it, I'll change it." Di Shengyue said, trying to tear down the plaque.

When Xiao Yinxue saw it, she became anxious immediately, turned around quickly, grabbed Di Shengyue's arm and said, "Who told you to tear it apart!"

"The princess means that you like it?" Di Shengyue smiled lightly.

Xiao Yinxue glared at Di Shengyue, only thinking that this person is really bad.

"Hurry up and prepare." Xiao Yinxue changed the subject, "The craze for fragrance powder should start soon."

"How did the princess know?" Di Shengyue raised her brows in surprise.

Based on the memory of her previous life, she knew that the fragrance powder would set off a craze, but she didn't know exactly how long after the fragrance powder entered the palace.

But Xiao Yinxue knew that it was just these few days.

As soon as she mentioned something that Di Shengyue didn't know, Xiao Yinxue's eyes lit up a little, and she said quite proudly, "Didn't you notice the news from the palace?"

"News from the palace?" Di Shengyue thought for a while, but had no idea.

Xiao Yinxue could get very little information, it was only about how the emperor was feeling today, which palace he went to, or which concubine he favored.

Di Shengyue always felt that this was useless information, but Xiao Yinxue asked people to report it every day.

"Father has favored nobleman Yu for three days in a row," Xiao Yinxue glanced at Di Shengyue, and said confidently, "Although this nobleman's status is not high, his mother's family has a high status. A few days ago, the trustee from A box of incense powder was taken from the palace."

After Xiao Yinxue explained this, Di Shengyue understood, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean, the emperor is because of the fragrance powder?"

"Naturally." Xiao Yinxue said, "Otherwise, Mr. Yugui has been in the palace for so long, why did he only get favored again recently?"

Di Shengyue was really shocked now, she knew that Xiao Yinxue was very smart, but she never knew that she could be so sensitive, analyzing so many situations with just a few clues.

Seeing Xiao Yinxue's triumphant look, Di Shengyue felt that such a Xiao Yinxue was extremely attractive, and couldn't help stretching out her hand to embrace her in her arms. What kind of treasure did she miss in her previous life.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Xiao Yinxue's cheeks flushed slightly when she was hugged suddenly.

"The princess's intelligence really moved my heart." Di Shengyue said.

"Hmph, did you know that this princess is smart?" Xiao Yinxue buried her head in Di Shengyue's arms, preventing her from seeing her blushing cheeks.

"Princess!" You Tao hurried in from outside, disturbing the tranquility.

Xiao Yinxue was taken aback, and got up from Di Shengyue's arms in a panic: "You are in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

Seeing this, You Tao knew what happened just now, and she couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling: "Princess, forgive me, it's You Tao's fault for coming in in such a hurry."

Hearing this, Xiao Yinxue blushed even more, and gave Di Shengyue a hard look, as if saying that it was all her fault just now.

Di Shengyue was amused by her arrogant appearance, and said with a smile: "Princess, forgive me, I was the one who was presumptuous."

Saying that, he stood up, leaned into Xiao Yinxue's ear and said, "Next time, I will definitely choose a place where no one is around."

The fiery breath sprayed on her sensitive cochlea, and in conjunction with Di Shengyue's deep voice, Xiao Yinxue's cheeks flushed instantly.

She didn't dare to look at Di Shengyue, so she could only change the subject in a hurry, and asked You Tao: "But is there any important news from the palace?"

"Yes." Speaking of business, You Tao said seriously, "Someone is coming from the palace. It's someone from the empress, who came to ask us for incense powder. They said that the quota in the palace is not enough, so let's borrow some from our shop first. .Luo Xiang is entertaining outside right now."

"It came quite quickly." Xiao Yinxue said with a dark light flashing in his eyes.

The word "borrow" sounds good, but to put it bluntly, it is to monopolize their fragrance powder.

When the fragrance powder enters the palace, it is not up to the queen to decide how much to share.These powders are all handled by the third prince, as long as the third prince tampers with the share, the queen can monopolize all the powders.

Now in the harem, the Empress and Concubine Wan are equally divided, one is in charge of the East Palace and the other is in charge of the West Palace, fighting endlessly in the open and in the dark.

Now that there is a fragrance powder that the emperor likes, the queen naturally wants to be the champion.

"Then what should the princess do now?" You Tao asked worriedly.

They opened this incense powder shop just to live in rare goods and make a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, when the queen came up, she would take away all the precious incense powder in the shop.

But she was the queen, and she used a very legitimate reason, and they couldn't even refuse.

"Sell, of course we have to sell." Xiao Yinxue said with a calculating brilliance in his eyes, "Since the queen is here, we naturally have to save face. You Tao, sell all the rarest fragrance powder to the queen, a little Do not stay."

"Princess, I don't understand." Di Shengyue was a little confused after listening for a long time.

The relationship between Xiao Yinxue and the empress is not as good as it appears on the surface. Logically speaking, Xiao Yinxue does not want the empress to gain power.

But looking at Xiao Yinxue's current state, she was not even half reluctant, but very happy.

"Shengyue," Xiao Yinxue looked at Di Shengyue with a smile, tapped her forehead lightly with her slender index finger, and said, "I am not as good as you in matters of the court, but you are far behind me in matters of the harem."

"I would like to hear the details." Di Shengyue grabbed Xiao Yinxue's troublesome little hand and held it in the palm of her hand.

She really loved Xiao Yinxue's intelligent and confident appearance.

In her previous life, she had never seen Xiao Yinxue like this before.

"I didn't intend to keep these most cherished incense powders." Xiao Yinxue said, "One, the price is too high, ordinary ministers and wives can't buy too much, and it's useless to store them. Two, rare goods can be lived Even if it's good, it's not good to offend all the empresses in the palace for nothing. If you sell every empress at the same price in the future, without any bias, then that is the biggest problem. The most taboo in the palace is not that you are partial to one side, but It is unbiased. Often such unbiased people are either ignorant, or they have big plans. Either way, you will not be able to please."

Di Shengyue was stunned for a moment, but she hadn't thought of this level at all.

Xiao Yinxue continued: "Now you are openly inclined to the line of the third prince, and selling it to the queen is also considered a gesture of favor."

"Besides." Xiao Yinxue said, with a happy smile on the corner of her mouth, "Selling to the empress can also transfer the hatred of the palaces to the empress. It can also make a lot of money along the way. In order for the empress to monopolize this fragrance powder, as long as It's not too outrageous price, she can accept it."

Di Shengyue looked at the sly light in her eyes, and felt that Xiao Yinxue was full of aura at this moment, which attracted her deeply.

Di Shengyue couldn't help but press a kiss on her forehead: "Yin Xue, if you have a wife like this, what more can you ask for from a husband."

Xiao Yinxue's face flushed, and she felt that the blood all over her body rushed to her cheeks following Di Shengyue's words.
