The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

After school, the little lion returned to the East Palace in a depressed mood.

Met my second uncle and my newly-married second aunt.

However, he still called people as before, "Second Uncle, Aunt Qing!"

Zhao Qing has now combed her hair into a woman's style. When she returned home on Sanchao's return, the Second Madam had already told her that the Emperor did not intend to let her marry, and she also bestowed a title on her.

Zhao Qing finally felt relieved.

The Qin family was also very worried during those two days, fearing that they would be surrounded by soldiers outside their house.

Fortunately, there was no movement during those two days, and she returned home safely on the third day.

"Little Lion is out of school!"

The little lion nodded honestly, "Well, school is over, Aunt Qing, should I call you second aunt from now on?"

Zhao Qing blushed and nodded, "Yeah, that's fine too!"

The little lion looked very distressed, "But Daddy told me to stop calling her aunt and call her second uncle and uncle instead!"

The Second Lady came to the palace with her daughter and son-in-law today. She burst out laughing, "Oh, little lion, how can you be so cute?"

The second lady reached out and ravaged the little lion's face.

Qin Wan watched all this with a smile. She was very satisfied with the current result.

Although their marriage was hasty, at least Qing'er didn't have to marry a foreign prince.

Qin Wan hated using women to quell war the most.

This whole thing about putting the overall situation first is complete bullshit.

Everyone puts the overall situation first. Who can understand the pain of the person who was sacrificed?

Those who say that kind of thing, the knife didn't cut them.

"Second Aunt, I've thought of another way to make money. Why don't we open a shop together?"

Qin Wan has many ways to make money. She only needs to bring modern things to ancient times and make a fortune.

Although the Anguo Mansion is the Duke's Mansion, Second Uncle Zhao does not have an actual official position. When Zhao Qing got married this time, the Second Lady took out a lot of silver and money from the family and gave it to the girl as a dowry.

Therefore, the Duke's Mansion is not that rich in money now.

The Second Lady knew that Qin Wan's clock business was booming, but she didn't expect that Qin Wan was so smart.

She let go of the little lion's chubby cheek, "Awan, do you have any good ideas?"

After the little lion was released, he immediately ran to Qin Ting and whispered, "Second Uncle, let's go to Yichun Palace. My toy is broken. Can you help me fix it?"

Qin Ting, the newly-appointed son-in-law, still felt uncomfortable when facing the second wife.

He nodded vigorously and whispered back, "Okay, I'll go help you take a look."

So the three of them quietly left Cheng'en Hall.

That's right, three people.

When Qin Ting left, he also took his newly married wife with him.

Qin Wan and the Second Madam saw it, but pretended not to see it and continued discussing business.

Qin Wan was in the palace and had no way of knowing what was happening outside the palace.

Many things need to be done by servants, but she can't put all her eggs in one basket.

It’s okay if the time is short, but if it’s long, maybe someone will have some ideas.

And the second wife is the right person, someone who is trustworthy and smart.

This time, Qin Wan also admired the Second Madam's decisiveness.

"Second Aunt, it's like this. My recipe is mainly for the women in the inner house. It's most suitable for you to come forward."

The Second Lady also became interested. She and Qin Wan had a special relationship, so she would not be shy and refuse at this time.

There is no need for false courtesy between them any longer.

"Oh, Awan, please tell me in detail."

“I know how to purify the scent. If I want to carry a scent on my body in the future, I don’t need to carry those scent bags. The smell of the scent bags is not long-lasting enough, and the smell of multiple petals together is sometimes mixed.

Mine is called perfume, it’s liquid, and it smells better when sprayed!”

The second wife is a pure ancient lady, and she is keen on dressing up. "Awan, if this thing called perfume can really be made, I am sure it will become popular."

Qin Wan proposed making perfume, which was also a project she participated in in her previous life. There was a distillation system, and she also followed the professor to visit the distillation equipment factory.

She doesn't make that kind of complicated distillation equipment, but she can still try to make it.

At that time, because of her curiosity about the distiller, she also privately studied the perfume production process. In fact, the raw material of perfume is essential oil.

How to purify essential oils from plants is the most important step.

Steam distillation is the most commonly used method, which mainly involves putting plant materials into a distillation pot, adding water, heating to generate steam, and then cooling the steam through a condenser to collect essential oils and hydrosols.

Qin Wan planned to use this method.

Perfume is a high-end product that ordinary people cannot afford, so it needs to be sold to wealthy women in the inner court.

Qin Wan and the second wife were discussing the management of the shop, and the two became more and more interested as they talked.

The little lion returned to Yi Qiu Palace and not only asked Qin Ting to repair his toys, but also asked his friends to go to his friend's home.

Pan Yuanbai got off the carriage and the servant led him to the courtyard of the Duke's wife.

The servant was puzzled when he saw the crows circling overhead.

"Young Master, have you noticed that this crow seems to be following us?"

Pan Yuanbai raised his head, took a look, and said nonchalantly: "You think too much, it's just a black bird, I saw it at the emperor's grandson's place, it doesn't hurt anyone!"

The servant said no more.

Two days later, the envoy of Liang State proposed in the main hall that the emperor's grandson should be sent to Liang State as a hostage.

"Your Majesty, as far as we know, the daughter of Duke Anguo is already married. Since there is no princess in Yan Dynasty who can marry, we are willing to accept the emperor's grandson to go to our Liang Kingdom as a hostage."

As soon as Qi Pei said this, not only Zhao Zhen looked at Qi Pei sharply, but Lang Bu beside him also looked at his companion angrily.

Qi Pei had not told Lang Bu about this proposal in advance.

Langbu took a few steps carefully and asked in a low voice in Hu language, "What proton? Why do you have this requirement? Why don't I know about it? Also, why didn't you discuss it with me in advance?"

Qi Pei was fearless and said proudly, "If I told you in advance, would you agree? Don't think I don't know that you have been jumping up and down these days, aren't you just looking for a chance to meet the Crown Princess?"

"You..." Langbu wanted to speak, but was stopped by Qi Pei, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back. We are in the main hall now."

Langbu suppressed his dissatisfaction.

At this time, Qi Pei looked at the emperor with a serious face, "Your Majesty, we have relaxed the conditions this time. As long as Yan Dynasty agrees that the emperor's grandson will be sent to our Liang Kingdom as a hostage, the 1000 million taels of silver will not have to be paid."

As soon as Qi Fei said this, many ministers became interested.

Just by sacrificing the little grandson, we can solve the problem of tens of thousands of people living on the border. This is a good deal.

At this time, Censor Geng, who had received Censor Su's hint, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the dynasty was just established, and the people in various parts of Yan Dynasty were unable to get enough food.

The people living on the border were left homeless and struggling in hardship all the time. If war broke out at this time, it would be detrimental to the Yan Dynasty and unfair to the people of the world.

If His Royal Highness can......"

Zhao Zhen stood up immediately, "Censor Geng, you are so brave!"
