I'm a humble concubine. My acting skills are off the charts. You can check my performance.

Mother Cui only had time to leave a horse and a guard for the man in white, then she hurriedly turned around and drove back to the Zhao family.

Zhao Fangyu felt hopeless and thought that God was playing a huge joke on her.

After traveling back in time for four years, I found out that I was in a romance novel, or a cannon fodder family who happily won nine sets of Candy Crush Saga in the original plot!

Zhao Fangyu kept his eyes closed along the way, which scared Zhao Fangjin so much that he kept urging Mother Cui.

It was not until he reached the doorstep of his home that Zhao Fangyu gradually came to his senses.

It doesn't matter. Everyone will die sooner or later. As long as her elder sister can smoothly get engaged to the son of the Minister of Personnel and cut off the evil fate between her elder sister and the eldest prince, she can naturally survive.

As long as the eldest sister can hide away, the remaining Zhao Fanglan will not be a threat.

She was just a defeated general. She checked Zhao Minshan's study every day. She didn't believe that Zhao Fanglan could put the forged letter of treason in there!

"But were you scared? How come you have a heart palpitation problem?" Zhao Fangjin couldn't figure it out. Zhao Fangyu didn't want to explain. He hid in Zhao Fangjin's arms and pushed the blame on the Jinyiwei: "Jinyiwei is really scary. I was helping Dad sort out documents in the study..."

As if he was recalling some unforgettable scene, Zhao Fangyu even shuddered cooperatively.

The court doctor came to the house. Zhao Fangjin stared at the court doctor with her beautiful eyes. The court doctor felt the pulse and said after a moment of hesitation: "The fourth lady just had a sudden mental shock. She will be fine after a few days of rest."

Zhao Fangjin felt relieved and comforted Zhao Fangyu. He then asked the maids in Jiaolu to guard the yard, and then went to Pingboyuan to report his safety to the eldest lady.

On the other side, the eldest prince who was avoided by Zhao Fangjin like a snake: "..."

The eldest prince didn't believe that the person in the carriage just happened to fall ill, so he immediately asked Pei Yan to go to the Southern Pacification Office to find someone to investigate whether someone was obstructing him and deliberately preventing him from meeting his sweetheart.

Now he is just an ordinary Jinyiwei, and even a figurehead. He only has things to do occasionally when his superiors assign him tasks. Without anyone under his command, how can he investigate affairs for the eldest prince?

The emperor’s order was hard to disobey, so Pei Yan sighed and went straight to the study to find his father.

The eldest prince angrily kicked the flowers and plants by the pond, and the broken petals fell to the ground, but it failed to dispel the eldest prince's dissatisfaction.

Seeing Pei Yan coming back, he was getting impatient and couldn't help but say, "I'm asking you a question!"

Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and clicked his tongue again: "Your Highness shouldn't say that you are from the Pei family when you speak."

"In addition to the eldest daughter, there is also a fourth daughter in the Zhao family's carriage. It is said that this fourth daughter has been weak since childhood. When she heard the name of the Jinyiwei, she was frightened and had palpitations on the spot. She is still recovering now."

The eldest prince: "..."

Pei Yan saw that the eldest prince was silent, and added silently: "The eldest lady is very worried about the fourth lady and visits her every day."

The eldest prince quietly withdrew his hand that was about to touch the teacup and smash it, rubbing it together uncomfortably: "The little girl just can't help being scared."

"But you guys are the same. Just handle the case. Why do you have to make a river of blood?"

Pei Yan had a blank expression on his face, and was secretly complaining in his heart: The only work left for the Jinyiwei to do is to confiscate property and exterminate clans, and it sounds like they have any choice.

The eldest prince said casually that the Jinyi Guards were here to do the dirty work, and Pei Yan listened casually.

Suddenly, Pei Yan remembered another piece of news his father had given him, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to keep it secret.

As the sky gradually darkened, the eldest prince and Pei Yan stayed in the study for half a day, then went to the outskirts of the city to race horses. When Pei Yan was finally allowed to go home, it was almost curfew.

The family servant came up to take his changed clothes. Pei Yan paused and pointed at the servant and asked, "On the 16th of next month, go to the 16th shop on the left side of Chunxi Lane and pick out the best spices and buy a few boxes."

The long-servant nodded and asked in confusion, "Master, do you want to use incense?"

Pei Yan turned back and tapped the head of the long-servant who was standing still. "Why do you care so much? You should be sent to guard the imperial prison."

The long-servant grew up with Pei Yan and they have a deep relationship, so naturally he is not afraid of Pei Yan's jokes.

He turned around and called him "uncle" and asked Pei Yan if he had a lover and whether he bought the incense for his lover.

That night, two lumps appeared on the head of the captain, one on the left and one on the right, of equal size and very symmetrical.

The opening of Shisizhou was very lively. On the opening day, not only was the store's treasure, rose water, on display, attracting countless noble ladies, but also magnolia fragrance water, osmanthus fragrance water, a dozen rare fragrance pills, and high-end fragrance materials, all at high and low prices, which could be said to have attracted all buyers.

Rose water is scarce, and if one wants to obtain it through formal channels, it can only be obtained through imperial gift. The emperor gives it to his concubines, and the concubines give it to their relatives.

If you want to buy rose water with silver, no one will sell it to you unless the concubine's family is so poor that they can't even afford rice.

Hearing that the newly opened perfume shop in Chunxi Lane, Shisizhou, had rose water for sale, the ladies all took enough silver and went to Shisizhou.

At this moment, the rose water is placed on a high platform, but it is not sold at a high price.

The young and pretty girls wore light pink autumn jackets with narrow sleeves, and their hair was tied up in a bun. The cloth covering the bun was embroidered with different flowers. They spoke in soft voices and smiled gently, inviting the guests to come and see their unique "fragrance" first.

Everyone then noticed that there were two small bottles placed on the left and right of the rose water. The crystal bottle on the left was half the size of a fist, and the crystal texture revealed the translucent light yellow liquid inside. The small porcelain bottle on the right was larger, slender, and as long as a hand. You couldn't see what was inside, but it couldn't be something that was common on the street if it was placed next to the rose water.

The saleswomen in the Fourteen States opened the cap of the osmanthus fragrance bottle, and immediately a wisp of osmanthus fragrance burst out from the bottle!

The saleswoman poured some out into her palm, then turned around and slowly walked towards the noble lady closest to her... her personal maid.

"Sister, please try our secret scent for you all."

Everyone had never seen what perfumed lotion was, but as the saleswoman walked along, the faint fragrance emanating from her palms could not be faked. They were all knowledgeable ladies, and everyone seemed to understand something in an instant, staring at the maid who was testing the perfume for everyone without blinking.

The saleswoman's hands slowly patted the maid's neck, rubbing the scented liquid in her palms and applying the remaining part to her wrists.

On the other side, a little girl with a clear voice said, "This is a scented lotion made from a secret recipe that our shopkeeper spent a lot of money to find from Persia."

"The fragrance dew is like water. When you comb your hair or get dressed, sprinkle some on your body. It will at least keep you fragrant for half a day. You don't need to wear accessories such as silver fragrance balls. Just take some on your palm and rub it slowly, and it will emit a natural fragrance."

Upon hearing this, the ladies were deeply moved!

The natural fragrance emitted without wearing any perfume is no different from body odor!

The maid, whose neck and wrists were wiped with perfume by the saleswoman, slowly walked around her master.

The noble lady in the green and white skirt immediately stopped the saleswoman and asked, "How much is this perfume?"

I have never used rose water, but such a good thing must not be cheap.
