In just two days, the atmosphere in Shengdu began to change.

In the past, when young women got together, they would always discuss poetry or love affairs, while older ones would either discuss interesting things in the city or talk about which family's outstanding children.

Now everything has changed. No matter the age, when women meet, someone will always ask, "Do you know perfume?"

In the home of the current Prime Minister Su Quan, Su Muliu was changing clothes with the help of a maid. From her slightly raised mouth corners, it can be seen that she was in a very good mood.

The maid Chunhua said with envy, "Miss, you smell so good!"

Su Muliu, who had just finished bathing, was in a good mood, "Do you like it?"

Chunhua nodded repeatedly, "I like it!"

Su Muliu said teasingly, "Then when you find someone you love, I will give you a bottle of perfume when you get married."

Chunhua curled her lips and said, "I won't get married. Even if I do, I will accompany you, young lady, and be a dowry maid."

Su Muliu blushed slightly, "You little girl, you have no shame!"

Chunhua said indifferently, "What's the big deal? Miss, you are old enough to get married. I heard the master and the mistress talking about your marriage a few days ago."

Hearing this, Su Muliu's face turned pale. Nowadays, women's marriage depends entirely on luck. If they marry a...

No...No...

Su Muliu shook her head, as if trying to get rid of the bad thoughts. A young girl in love naturally looks forward to a beautiful love.

On the other side, Chen Qingqing was showing off to her close friends while shaking her skirt.

Seven or eight women were intoxicated by the scent of the perfume and said a few words of flattery from time to time, which made Chen Qingqing very happy.

Of course, if Chen Qingqing could hear what they were thinking, she would not be able to laugh.

Although Wang Xue said words of admiration, she actually looked down on Chen Qingqing in her heart. If her father wasn't the Minister of Revenue, how could she be friends with her?

Seeing Chen Qingqing acting like a butterfly, Wang Xue was so angry that her teeth were itching. Where did this stinky woman get the sachet from? She refused to tell him even after asking him several times.

And in the Forbidden City, the mistress of the harem, who was the mother of the country, was like a little girl at this moment, waving her slender hands curiously, her eyes full of joy.

"Zhang, where did you get this sachet?"

Zhang pursed her lips and chuckled, "Mu Liu gave it to me. I heard it was from the Western Regions. She bought a lot at one time, so she gave me some."

"Mu Liu~"

The queen nodded. She naturally knew about the prime minister's daughter, who was both talented and beautiful.

Putting the perfume aside, the queen said calmly, "Come to think of it, Mu Liu is also old enough to get married, right?"

Zhang immediately became alert, "I feel the same way, but my husband is reluctant to let me go."

"Girls will eventually get married, Zhang, what do you think of Xuan'er?"

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Zhang would have wanted to roll her eyes. Everyone in Shengdu knows that the Sixth Prince is a shrew and a womanizer, and only you, as a mother, would think that your son is outstanding.

Zhang said calmly, "The Sixth Prince is handsome and outstanding."

Seeing her son being praised, the queen struck while the iron was hot, "Why not marry Mu Liu to Xuan'er? Our two families are already close friends, and now our children can get married. It will be a good story if it gets out."

Still a good story? I tui!

If Zhang hadn't been concerned about the woman's identity, she would have really wanted to spit at her.

Forced to smile, Zhang said, "As a woman, I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to go home and discuss it with my husband."

The queen looked regretful and said, "Is that so? Then you must have a good talk with Prime Minister Su when you return."

Zhang nodded and made up her mind that she would tell her husband when she got back that she would never marry her daughter to the Sixth Prince, as that would be like pushing her daughter into the fire!

"Your Majesty is here!"

A sharp voice was heard, and then a man in a dragon robe strode in.

Jin Tianci exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Zhang is here too?"

Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the emperor coming, and hurriedly said, "Then your majesty, your majesty, I will take my leave now."

Jin Tianci waved his hand, and when Zhang walked away, he smiled and said, "Zixin, there is such a strong fragrance in your room."

The queen said proudly, "It's a gift from Zhang, it's called perfume, and there's also a soap for washing your hands, I plan to try it later."

Hearing this, Jin Tianci seemed to be thinking about something.

The queen was a little curious, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Jin Tianci shook his head. "Nothing. By the way, what were you talking about just now?"

"Zhang wants to marry Mu Liu to our Xuan Er. I think this is a good marriage."

Jin Tianci's face froze, and he looked at the queen steadily, "Are you serious?" He knew Xuan'er's character very well, and which family would push their daughter into the fire pit?

Perhaps a poor family would have such an idea, dreaming of reaching the top overnight, but the Su family is powerful and influential, so it is simply impossible!

Seeing Jin Tianci's strange look, the queen touched her face and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"It's okay. If this marriage really happens, it will be a good thing."

The queen agreed with her expression, as happy as a young girl, "Right, Mu Liu is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also good-looking, so she is the perfect match for Xuan'er's princess!"

Jin Tianci nodded approvingly on the surface, but he was shaking his head in his heart.

Zi Xin had been living a life of luxury since childhood. She was engaged to me when she was eight years old and had no contact with the outside world since then. After she entered the palace at the age of 16, I protected her very well, so she didn't understand any schemes and was still as pure as a girl.

Well, this is the kind of Zi Xin I like.

After spending some time with the queen, Kim Cheon-ci left Seondeok Palace.

Looking at the dim sky, Jin Tianci asked, "Have you checked it out?"

The chief eunuch Zhang Ju stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, the perfume and soap that have been all the rage in the city these past two days came from the Fengyun Club."

Fengyun Club?

Jin Tianci's eyes narrowed, "Have you figured out the details?"

Zhang Ju said, "It is rumored that Fang Hao, the leader of Fengyun Society, has millions of taels of gold and bought local goods in the Western Regions and sold them back. However, after investigation, I found that Fang Hao was originally from Tianshui and came to Shengdu with his father when he was young. He grew up in the outer city and has never been to the Western Regions."

Jin Tianci frowned slightly, then seemed to remember something and sneered, "This Fang Hao is definitely not a simple person, but I don't know which family he belongs to!"

Zhang Ju asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, are you talking about... that matter?"

Jin Tianci nodded, "But what I can't understand is why Fang Hao dared to put it out in the open? It's as if he was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see it! What does the person behind him mean?"

Zhang Ju bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is very talented, why not take his advice?"

The father and son of the royal family have no feelings for each other and are wary of each other. If it were another emperor or prince, Zhang Ju would never dare to say this, but the current prince is really...

"This guy! Humph!"

Jin Tianci snorted angrily, and was furious when he thought of the prince. Then he sighed helplessly, "Forget it, let's go to Mingde Hall!"
