When Princess Luojia walked into the garden, she was greeted by two completely different scenes.

On one side, there was a lot of noise and bustle.

The other side is lonely and cold, as if forgotten and neglected by everyone.

The princess's lips curled up into a gentle smile, and she walked lightly into the depths of the garden, her voice filled with just the right amount of curiosity and gentleness: "What happened? Why is it so lively?"

Upon hearing this, the ladies and wives all turned around, their eyes focused on the noble princess.

One of the noble ladies, dressed in gorgeous clothes and holding an exquisite gift box, excitedly raised the Ningxiang Pills in her hand.

"Princess, you've arrived just in time! Did you know that the Ningxiang Pavilion, which is so popular in the capital today, was actually built by Princess Qing?"

"The princess is so generous that she brought many Ningxiang pills here as a gift. If you didn't buy any this morning, you can come and get some."

"Ningxiang Pills?" Princess Luojia instantly turned her gaze to Meng Tingyue.

She was well aware of Princess Qing's plan to open a shop, but she had no idea about the items that would be sold in the shop.

If she remembered correctly, this Ningxiang Pill should have come from the Emperor's sister-in-law, but now it has become something bought from Princess Qing's shop?

I think there must be something fishy about the fact that the emperor's sister-in-law changed to selling Ningxiang ointment instead of Ningxiang pills.

Perhaps during the development process, the precious recipe was accidentally leaked, and in desperation, the emperor's sister-in-law had to settle for the second best and choose Ningxiang ointment.

The emperor's sister-in-law is so amazing. Even temporary replacement items can be so good.

"Since it's such a good thing, then this princess will naturally have to try it." Princess Luo Jia ordered the clever maid beside her to quickly get one, and she moved lightly and walked to Meng Tingyue's side.

She sat down naturally, shoulder to shoulder with Meng Tingyue, gently held her hand, and called her affectionately, "Imperial sister-in-law."

Meng Tingyue looked at her affectionate behavior, feeling amused and helpless, but could only whisper a reminder: "Alright, alright, there are so many people watching, you are the host of the banquet today."

When Princess Luo Jia heard this, she mistakenly thought that Meng Tingyue was urging her to quickly introduce the Ningxiang ointment.

She straightened her back, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and winked at Meng Tingyue, as if to say, "Watch me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up leisurely and raised her hand gently. The maids waiting on the side came in one after another like flowing water, with trays in their hands steadily carrying small, exquisite and colorful copper boxes.

Everyone's eyes were involuntarily attracted by the rare treasures on the trays, and their hearts were filled with curiosity and anticipation.

"Is this the 'fragrance' the princess called us here to try today?"

Hearing this, Princess Luo Jia nodded slightly, "Yes, this is the Ningxiang Cream sold in a shop called Ningxiang Pavilion in the west of the city."

"Ningxiang Cream? But which store did the Crown Princess say she wanted to open?" Madam Zheng spoke slowly after hearing the conversation between Meng Qingjiao and Meng Tingyue.

"That's right. Let me introduce the specific effects of this Ningxiang Ointment to you all."

Meng Tingyue stood up gracefully when her name was called. "The name of Ning Ointment is cleverly crafted from the word 'Ning'. I've deliberately blended a small amount of calming and soothing herbal essence into this ointment. The scent of those herbs is just right, not overpowering the main scent, yet complementing the fragrance of the ointment itself."

After saying that, she gracefully stretched out her slender hands, lightly picked up a box of ointment, and with a light twist of her fingertips, a delicate ointment appeared on it.

She gently rubbed it with her fingertips, slowly spreading it across her fair wrist. "Apply it to your skin, and you'll instantly feel a coolness like a spring. You might as well experience it for yourself."

Hearing this, everyone followed suit and raised their hands to take the exquisite ointment box from the maid's tray.

They first put their noses close to it and savored the subtle fragrance, only to find that there was no trace of the bitterness of herbs. A hint of surprise and joy flashed in their eyes.

They all followed Meng Tingyue's example and gently applied the ointment on their fingertips.

A woman whispered with curiosity, "If so, it feels as cool as an icy spring. But can its calming effect really be so miraculous?"

"The fragrance is intoxicating, and it's quite to my liking." The other person sniffed the lingering fragrance in his hand, with a satisfied smile on his lips.

After seeing them all try it, Meng Tingyue smiled slightly and patiently explained, "If you want to experience the calming effect, you need to apply this ointment precisely to the acupuncture point behind the eyebrows to achieve its magical effect."

After saying that, several ladies followed suit, carefully imitating Meng Tingyue's movements, afraid of missing any details.

"What the Crown Princess said is true, it really works miraculously!" Madam Wu was the first to exclaim in surprise, her words filled with incredible joy, as if she had discovered some rare treasure.

Seeing the others' glances, she explained slowly, "I've been having headaches for the past two days. It's like my head is shrouded in fog. Even though I've been taking my medicine regularly, I still feel a cloud of confusion and difficulty concentrating."

"However, since I used the Ningxiang ointment given by the Crown Princess, my mind has miraculously become much clearer."

Not only her, but two other ladies also praised the ointment's calming and refreshing effect.

Chen Luo's lips curled up into a gentle smile. "Even if it can't completely soothe my mind, just for this fresh and elegant fragrance, I'm willing to spend money and buy a few boxes to keep as a treasure."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people present felt a sense of empathy and nodded in agreement.

Meng Tingyue gently brushed past Chen Luo's face and responded with a gentle smile.

She and Chen Luo met once at Hefengxuan and never met again.

The reason why Chen Luo could speak for her like this must be because of Qiao Yanfeng.

On the other side, Meng Qingjiao's eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed on those who flocked to Meng Tingyue because of Princess Luojia's introduction.

They all said that they wanted to buy more than a dozen copies, as if they were going to buy out all the goods in Meng Tingyue's shop.

When facing Meng Qingjiao, these people suddenly became stingy and just said they wanted to buy a few to try. The generosity they showed when facing Meng Tingyue was completely gone.

Thinking of this, Meng Qingjiao's resentment and imbalance reached its peak.

It was Ziqing who kept talking in her ear trying to calm her down.

Meng Qingjiao was so angry that she could only vent her anger on Ziqing.

Ziqing had many bruises on her body from being pinched by her, all of which were covered by her clothes.

After the banquet, Meng Tingyue had a lot more orders on hand.

A hint of elegant joy appeared at the corner of her mouth, unlike Qingdian, whose joy was beyond words.

Qingdian suggested, "Looking at this situation, we are going to make a lot of money this time. I am afraid that the inventory is stretched. Otherwise, how about we urge the craftsmen to work harder and rush out a batch of new products to meet the emergency?"

Meng Tingyue shook her head slightly and said slowly, "No need, just make it at your usual speed."

"In a hurry, mistakes are inevitable. Every product in our shop must be made with the utmost care and no mistakes are allowed."
