Reborn to marry, the short-lived prince lived a hundred years
Chapter 114 Fragrance Feast
"Princess, this 'Fragrance Testing Banquet' is obviously organized by Princess Luojia for the Crown Princess. We still have to go." Ziqing asked tentatively.
"Go, why not?" She had a faint smile on her lips, hiding a determination that should not be underestimated.
"Not only must we go, but we must also make this 'Fragrance-Testing Banquet' a stage for our Ningxiang Pills to shine, and make our pills a treasure sought after by the noble women in the capital."
Ziqing frowned slightly when she heard this. She was very worried that this matter would not go as she wished.
But looking into the determined and deep eyes of his princess, he finally replied softly: "Yes, princess."
"Pick out a suitable dress for me. I want to take Ningxiang Pill to the 'Fragrance-Testing Banquet' in style."
……
Princess House.
Fragrance tasting banquet.
The princess's mansion is elegant and gorgeous.
Meng Tingyue walked with light and delicate steps into the banquet surrounded by colorful flowers.
At this time, many noble ladies and ladies dressed in gorgeous clothes had gathered in the mansion.
They either admire the flowers in pavilions and towers, or whisper beside the bamboo paths, with smiles on their faces, showing their elegance and grace.
Among all these beauties, Meng Tingyue's outfit appears particularly low-key. Although her clothes are not ostentatious, they are elegant, which perfectly sets off her peaceful temperament.
During this period, many people came forward to talk to her.
She also responded politely one by one.
Just at this moment, there was a subtle but clear noise coming from the door.
Immediately afterwards, a crisp voice of "The Princess of Qing has arrived" cut through the air and fell melodiously into everyone's ears.
Meng Qingjiao was like a dancing butterfly. As soon as she appeared on the stage, she instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.
Her clothes were so gorgeous and eye-catching that they attracted everyone's attention and admiration.
Meng Qingjiao was very pleased with this. With a gentle look in her eyes, she carefully searched for Meng Tingyue's figure among the guests.
Finally, Meng Tingyue was found in a quiet corner.
Meng Tingyue's clothes are simple, but they have a unique elegance and refinement, forming a sharp and harmonious contrast with the prosperity around her.
Seeing Meng Qingjiao wearing a plain dress, a hint of subtle pride flashed in her eyes. She walked leisurely to Meng Tingyue and called softly, "Sister."
She dragged out the word "sister" in a long and slightly artificial manner, which made Meng Tingyue shiver involuntarily.
Compared to Meng Qingjiao's intimacy, Meng Tingyue's response seemed particularly cold and distant: "Princess Qing."
Meng Qingjiao noticed Meng Tingyue's indifference and became more and more certain that it must be the poor business of Ningxiang Pavilion that made Meng Tingyue so gloomy.
Then, she moved lightly and gracefully to sit beside Meng Tingyue. "I heard that your sister opened a shop selling perfume in the west of the city, but it seems that the profits are dismal. Is that why you are unhappy?"
"Business is such a cruel place. If the quality of the goods is mediocre and cannot be accepted by customers, the shop will fall into a state of despair and may even go bankrupt."
"It just so happens that I just opened a shop selling incense pills. If your shop can't continue, you can tell me. I'm more than willing to teach you."
As soon as these words fell, the ladies around curiously stepped forward and asked quietly, "Is the Ningxiangju in the south of the city owned by Princess Qing?"
"Ningxiangju is indeed the small shop I run. I wonder if Madam Zheng has also heard of it?" Meng Qingjiao was very proud, with just the right amount of surprise on her face.
Upon hearing this, Madam Zheng's eyes lit up with surprise and she whispered, "That's right. I've also heard of Ningxiangju. Unfortunately, when my servants rushed over, all the treasures in the shop had been sold out. I feel so sad."
After she finished speaking, Madam Zheng feigned anger, her tone intimacy intensifying: "If Princess Qing had made it clear earlier that the shop was yours, we wouldn't have missed this opportunity. Princess, are you hiding it so much? Doesn't it mean you treat us as outsiders?"
People around also gathered around and talked at once.
"I never thought this unique shop was actually owned by Princess Qing. Even though my servants rushed there in a hurry, they could only barely bring back one portion. Princess Qing is truly ingenious. How did she come up with the idea of turning spices into scented pills that can be used to wash clothes?"
Hearing this, Meng Qingjiao's lips blossomed with a gentle smile. "It was just a sudden thought that made me want to try it out. I never thought it would actually work. Because I was unsure, I didn't tell you in advance."
"If you'd like to try it, I happen to have some stock from the mansion here that I can offer you to try first."
"I've already sent someone to make it as fast as possible. I believe it will be available in the shop within two days. If you like it, you can go to the shop to purchase it."
Ziqing and his men took out the Ningxiang Pills that had been prepared long ago.
When the ladies and ladies present saw this, they all asked their maids to grab a portion.
Meng Tingyue was therefore squeezed out of the encirclement.
Her gaze inadvertently swept across Meng Qingjiao, who was surrounded by the crowd, and caught a glimpse of a barely perceptible smugness in her eyes.
In response, Meng Tingyue just smiled indifferently, without staying for too long, turned around lightly and left this chaotic place.
Ningxiang Pills are indeed a wonderful product that can make clothes emit a long-lasting and elegant fragrance, but the raw materials behind it are very demanding.
This pill is specially created to leave fragrance on clothes and needs to be worn close to the skin. The skin of ladies and ladies is as silky smooth, and any slight imperfection in the material may lead to unpredictable consequences.
In her previous life, when she tried Ningxiang Pills on herself, she experienced itchy skin.
After some investigation, she found that there was a problem with a spice in the recipe.
She then replaced the spice with a rarer and more expensive one.
This change indeed doubled the value of Ningxiang Pills, but in the eyes of those noble ladies who valued exquisite life, this luxury was nothing but a trivial matter.
If Meng Qingjiao was greedy and used the commonly available and cheap materials, she would probably end up like her in her previous life.
Just imagine, if Meng Qingjiao had been greedy and chosen those materials that were readily available and cheap, she would probably have followed in the footsteps of her previous life and repeated the same mistakes.
However, looking at the price of Ningxiang Pills in her shop, it is not difficult to guess that she probably used the cheaper spices.
She went to great lengths to promote the product and produced so many Ningxiang Pills, but if something goes wrong in the future, all these Ningxiang Pills will be wasted.
Moreover, the Ningxiang Pills she later produced would be unsold and no one would buy them.
