Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

"You know what you're doing?"

Ye Youlan said vaguely: "Can't touch it, can't I touch it? Stingy."

The Seventh Prince raised the corner of his mouth, a hint of a smile appeared on his face, and he whispered in her ear: "It is impolite not to reciprocate."

Ye Youlan was awakened by the kisses as dense as raindrops. She quickly tried to push them away: "Stop messing around."

The Seventh Prince was like a wild horse out of control, unable to be reined in. He endured for a long time: "It's been three months. Actually, it's okay. I will be very careful."

Seeing that he was breathing rapidly, his face was flushed, and his eyes were filled with tears, Ye Youlan knew that he could not hold it back any longer. She blamed herself for teasing him so early in the morning.

When the Seventh Prince saw Ye Youlan withdraw her hand and close her eyes, he knew she had acquiesced. He excitedly reminded himself to be extra careful.

Dingxiang brought in water and prepared to help the princess get up and wash up, when she suddenly heard a whimpering sound coming from the inner room. She blushed with shame and quickly put down the basin and went out.

Xiaomei came over and saw Dingxiang's face was red and hot, standing outside the door at a loss.

"Are you sick? Why is your face so red? Princess, are you getting up?"

Xiaomei was about to go in, but Dingxiang stopped her: "Don't go in."

"The princess should be awake by now. I have something to tell her."

Dingxiang embarrassedly pulled Xiaomei aside and said, "The princess and the prince are doing that in the room!"

Seeing Dingxiang feeling shy and embarrassed, Xiaomei suddenly realized what that was. She frowned and said, "Don't just stand there. Hurry and prepare a bath for the princess."

The Seventh Prince came back from bathing with the Princess, and saw that the bed sheets and quilts had been changed to new ones. Ye Youlan blushed and said, "I guess Xiaomei changed them. Dingxiang doesn't have such good eyesight."

The Seventh Prince held her in his arms and said, "Sleep for a while!"

Ye Youlan wasn't sleepy at all: "Help me get dressed, I still have things to do today."

The two of them dressed neatly and came outside, and Dingxiang brought over the food.

Ye Youlan asked Dingxiang to call Xiaomei over.

"Don't do this next time. You made me miss breakfast."

The Seventh Prince laughed: "I thought you were full?"

Ye Youlan knew what he meant and was too embarrassed to look him in the face.

"You're actually shy, which is rare. You know, you were the one who teased me just now."

"I'm not shy, I'm just worried it's not conducive to prenatal education."

Xiaomei came in and stood there respectfully to tell the princess that the sachets were sold out, they were sold out at Xiangguo Temple.

The Seventh Prince smiled and said, "Xiaomei told me this this morning, but I forgot to tell you."

Xiaomei thought to herself, "You're very busy in the morning and don't have time to talk."

"Princess, Xiangguo Temple also has sachets. If we sell our sachets in the temple, wouldn't that be stealing their business?"

Ye Youlan smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you. Yesterday I asked the housekeeper to go to the temple and talk to the temple manager. From now on, all the sachets for Xiangguo Temple will be provided by us. For each sachet sold, we will donate 20 coins. Today, 100 sachets will donate 2,000 coins. In addition, we will also be responsible for selling the sachets for Yue Lao Temple, a temple near the capital."

Xiaomei looked at the princess in surprise. The Seventh Prince was also stunned for a moment, very puzzled: "Is this possible?"

Ye Youlan was very proud: "The method is the same. Because it was consecrated by the high monk of Xiangguo Temple, it is very eye-catching. The most important thing is that our sachets are of good quality and cheap."

"One hundred coins each is considered cheap?"

Ye Youlan asked Xiaomei to bring over a piece of paper from her desk.

"Here's the supply order. Starting tomorrow, Xiangguo Temple will be limited to one hundred pieces per day, and other temple shops will only be limited to twenty pieces per day. Go get ready!"

“If it sells so well, why limit the quantity?”

"If there are too many, they will be worthless. Other temples have fewer people, so twenty a day is enough. If they can't sell them, we can limit them to ten. If someone really wants them, they will go to Xiangguo Temple. This way, there will be more pilgrims at Xiangguo Temple, and more money will be raised from incense offerings. Only then will the temple's administrators be willing to continue cooperation."

Ye Youlan stared at the Seventh Prince, her eyes shining and her smile thick: "Advertise us in the tabloids in the capital."

“How to promote it?”

"Make up a few stories, like how a certain wife had been infertile for years and got pregnant after receiving a scent sachet, or how an old lady received a scent sachet for her 30-something son, and the next day he met his destined girl."

"Isn't this a lie?"

"This is called publicity. You have to believe that sincerity can work. If you don't believe it yourself, how can you make your customers believe it? These things are originally bought for spiritual sustenance. We just exaggerate their effects to let them know that buying them is worth it, that miracles will happen, and that hope will motivate people to work hard and have a purpose in life. So we are also helping them."

The Seventh Prince was about to agree when he saw Xiaomei looking at him with a very strange look. Was it sympathy or pity?

When Xiaomei saw the Seventh Prince looking at her, she quickly lowered her head.

Ye Youlan smiled. She knew Xiaomei too well: "Tell the embroiderers to work harder."

After Xiaomei left, the Seventh Prince asked how much a sachet cost.

"Actually, the production cost isn't high, five cents per piece at most, but my creativity is valuable, so I'll calculate the cost as fifty cents, sell it for one hundred cents, and deduct the twenty cents commission, which means I make thirty cents per piece."

The Seventh Prince grinned and said, "There is no business without fraud. You are simply making huge profits."

Ye Youlan corrected him, "I'm not a profiteer. I rack my brains every day to come up with creative ideas. Isn't that a cost? Just like leading troops to war, don't you need counselors? Their good ideas can save so many soldiers from dying. Isn't this idea worth money?"

The Seventh Prince pursed his lips and said, "Now I know what Xiaomei meant by the look she gave me."

Ye Youlan smiled brightly: "What do you mean?"

"I fell into your hands."

"Why do you still want to fall into the hands of another woman?"

"Don't dare."

Ding Xiaoshan and the other two would go to the ten-cent shop and work for half an hour after school every day. Today, they were a little late because they had to copy 260 sheets, but they were very excited because they could earn 260 cents today and the three of them could share more than 80 cents.

Ding Xiaoshan carefully put the money into the bag and said, "Give it to my mother when I get home. She won't have to wash clothes for others anymore."

When Jin Bao heard that he was going to give his share to Ding Xiaoshan, he said, "I'll give it all to you. Tell your mother to stop washing clothes for others. Winter is coming soon, and she won't let her hands get cold."

Zhao Yicheng squeezed the purse and handed it to Xiaoshan: "My family may not be as good as Jinbao's, but it is a little better than yours. I'll give you mine too."

Ding Xiaoshan's eyes were a little moist. He smiled and said, "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. I took your things today, and I will take them again in the future. If one day you don't give me anything, I might get angry, and then I will lose two good friends. Although our family is a little poor, we are much better off than before. This is all thanks to the princess who took care of us. My father's iron shop is doing well, and I can sew things every day to supplement the family income."

"How about we take a short break tomorrow and go visit the princess? The few pounds of fragrant rice she sent last time has probably been eaten up. I still have some at home, I'll get some more."

"Then I'll get some from home."
