After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"As a member of the Great Zhou, I should be concerned about the world's worries. It's just a piece of cake. How can I deserve this? Your Highness the Crown Prince is overpraising me."

"Yes, it's just a small contribution. We just regret that we are unable to make a greater contribution to our country."

Everyone spoke modestly, and when they looked at Bai Youyou, the anger in their eyes disappeared.

If I could take this opportunity to mention my name in front of the emperor and leave a good impression, it would be a good thing that cannot be bought with money.

"Miss Bai Si is so young, yet she has such a broad mind. I admire her!"

Everyone praised Bai Youyou in front of the prince.

Bai Youyou could only keep saying "too flattering", "too wrong" and "too much praise" to others.

At noon, the prince held a banquet and the emperor specially gifted several dishes.

The emperor sent the food over, which meant that he knew about this matter. Everyone present, except Lu Chen and Bai Yaoyao, was very happy.

Qi Lian is a foodie and his head is almost buried in the bowl. Bai Youyou is no less fast-eating and her eating speed is comparable to that of the three noble ladies.

There was a table full of delicious food, but Bai Yaoyao found the food tasteless. Yao Shan'er, who was sitting next to her, raised her eyes and glanced at her.

She should not be able to eat. Today's incident will probably be reported to the mansion soon. By then, her uncle and aunt will not let her off easily.

After dinner, Zhao Qianqian made an excuse that her hands were stained with oil.

"oops!"

She exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"What happened?"

The prince sat at the head and asked softly.

"Nothing happened. I just accidentally got some oil on my hands." Zhao Qianqian looked at the prince pleadingly, "Your Highness, could you ask someone to bring a basin of warm water?"

The prince nodded and raised his chin towards the palace maid beside him.

The palace maid quickly came over with a copper basin.

The noble ladies were wiping the corners of their mouths with handkerchiefs, and when they saw Zhao Qianqian coming out with a piece of light yellow solidified substance, they all looked over.

Zhao Qianqian didn't say anything and washed her hands with soap. When everyone saw that the grease on her hands was washed away completely, they were immediately surprised.

Qin Ran deliberately widened her eyes, looking surprised, "Miss Zhao, what is it that you are using? How come I have never seen it before?"

"This is called soap. I bought it from a merchant two days ago." She put her hands in front of people. "It's much better than soapberry."

"Miss Zhao, could you lend me this soap?"

Qi Lian was envious. With his business acumen, he knew that once this thing came out, it would be a hot seller.

If he can make friends with this person and then find a way to cooperate with him, he will definitely make a fortune in the future!

"You use it."

As soon as Zhao Qianqian spoke, Qi Lian hurriedly wet his hands with water, applied soap, and washed them like her.

Looking at his hands without any stains, Qi Lian exclaimed: "What a good thing!"

"It's really good stuff."

Others also chimed in.

Qi Lian stuck to Zhao Qianqian's side, rubbing his hands, with a flattering smile, "Miss Zhao, which merchant did you buy this soap from? Can you tell me?"

Zhao Qianqian gave him a strange look, then shook her head, "I also met that person by chance, I don't know his name or where he lives."

Not only was Qi Lian disappointed, but the people around him also felt it was a pity.

Without waiting for them to speak, Zhao Qianqian continued, "But that man said that he will open a soap shop in the capital in the future. If you want some, you can go to his shop and buy it."

"That's great! It would be a shame if such a good thing were to disappear into the world."

Qi Lian rubbed his hands excitedly, and his dull eyes suddenly lit up again.

Zhao Qianqian originally wanted to divide the things into small pieces and give some to each person, but she thought that by whetting everyone's appetite, the Youyou soap shop would be crowded with people when it opened.

Bai Youyou didn't expect that she would work so hard for her wealth plan, and looked at her with gratitude.

After lunch, everyone said goodbye in twos and threes, and the plum blossom viewing banquet ended successfully.

Bai Youyou and Bai Zhenzhen told them to go back first and she would go with her cousin.

When she went out, the prince sent someone to deliver a brocade box to her.

"Miss Bai, Master Lu, Master Qi, this is the sachet made by Lumei."

The eunuch spoke in a shrill voice with a smile on his face, "The prince said that the green plum blossoms are in full bloom this year, so you guys can take some as a toy."

He waved his hand, and the young eunuch behind him came over with a tray with three exquisitely embroidered purses on it.

Lu Chen frowned slightly, and Bai Youyou reached out and picked up all three purses.

"Then please convey my gratitude to you, eunuch."

"Miss Bai, you are so polite. I will definitely convey your message to you."

Bai Youyou and the others got on the carriage. Lu Chen was unhappy. "The prince has evil intentions. You should be careful in the future and don't be deceived by him."

If he and Qi Lian were not here today, I'm afraid they would have sent more than just sachets.

The prince's wolfish ambitions were obvious, and the girl was simple-minded. With a few words of coaxing and some cute little toys, she might not be able to find the north or the south. He had to be on guard.

"Seventh cousin, I really don't like the prince, so stop worrying about it."

Bai Youyou found it somewhat amusing. This little brat was only thirteen, but he acted as experienced and mature as if he was thirty.

Qi Lian took the sachet and sniffed it. Hearing this, he also said, "What's so good about being a crown prince? If I marry him, I will be trapped in this huge cage in the future and will never be free for the rest of my life. It's better to be an ordinary merchant and live freely."

Thinking of the soap, Qi Lian's face was filled with excitement. He moved his big round buttocks to sit next to Bai Youyou, with a flattering smile on his face, "Xiao Si, you are good friends with the young lady of Minister Zhao's family, can you help me find out more about the soap?"

Bai Youyou crossed her arms over her chest and raised her eyebrows at him, "Are you interested in this?"

"Of course, that will be a lot of money in the future."

Qi Lian's eyes lit up. "Scarcity makes things valuable. This unique item has no competitors. Once it's sold, I'm sure I'll make a fortune!"

Lu Chen frowned slightly, "How can you easily know how others make money? What's the point of finding that person?"

"Whether it is useful or not, you won't know until you ask."

Qi Lian rubbed his hands and looked at Bai Youyou pleadingly, "Xiao Si, we grew up playing in the mud together, you must help me!"

He raised his hand to pat Bai Youyou's shoulder, then took out the fruit box from the car and filled his stomach with it, like a male servant serving a young lady.

Bai Youyou raised her hand and placed it on his shoulder, patting him, "Why bother asking for help? As your cousin's housekeeper, I guarantee you'll count money until your hands cramp."

Qi Lian slapped her hand away and glared at her, "Are you counting your monthly ten taels of silver?"

Lu Chen turned his head and smiled with his lips pursed.

"Oh, if you don't believe it, forget it."
