Xiaoman brought out several bowls of dumpling soup on a tray. "Miss said that after eating barbecue, it's best to drink some soup! Your Highness, you, the Fourth Prince, and Prince Qin should also try some!"

Ye Muchen looked at the bright green bok choy, the golden egg flowers, and the little bit of minced meat in the bowl. He had never drunk this before!

It was delicious. He ate quickly, and after finishing one bowl, he wanted to ask Gao Chi to get him another. Just as he picked up the bowl, Jing Xue said, "Just put it on the table! Xiao Man will clean it up later!"

Ye Muchen: I didn't say I was going to wash the dishes!

But he felt too embarrassed to continue eating after they told him!

Before leaving, Qin Jing and Ye Musi showered each other with thanks and compliments!

Jingxue thought to herself, "I hope you won't be too embarrassed to come again!"

The three of them finally left Jingning Garden, leaving Gao Chi behind to help tidy up.

Gao Chi: I'm not full yet!

"Cousin, let's go to your study!" Qin Jing said seriously.

"No, aren't you two going back to the manor? There's nothing I can do if she doesn't cooperate with you!" Ye Muchen looked at the two of them.

Ye Musi looked quite excited and said, "We're not going back, we're staying at Third Brother's residence!"

Ye Muchen frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "You guys... never mind, let's talk in the study!"

In the study, after listening to the two people finish speaking, Ye Muchen remained silent for a long time.

“Cousin, I think even if she didn’t make the salt, we should at least know where it came from. I saw that the salt from my sister-in-law’s place is of even better quality than the salt we saw on the border of Nanzhao. We’ve all tasted it, and it’s wonderful!” Qin Jing said, expressing his thoughts.

"If we can get this method, it will solve a major problem for my Bei Ye!" Ye Musi looked intently at his third brother.

Ye Muchen was unaware of the content of their conversation with the emperor. His elder brother had only mentioned the drought in court today, but as a member of the royal family, he had an inescapable responsibility. He rubbed his hands back and forth on his legs, his mind racing, trying to figure out what to do!

"I don't care. Starting tomorrow, no, starting today, I'll live in your house until my cousin-in-law tells me where that fine salt came from!" Qin Jing was going all in.

Ye Musi rolled her eyes at him. "You don't want your third sister-in-law's new gadgets anymore?"

Qin Jing reached out and slapped Ye Musi on the forehead. "Are you stupid? Don't you know which is more and which is less? Compared to fine salt, what are those little things? But you can have your cake and eat it too!"

"Third Brother, you have such a golden goose in your life, how can you not cherish it? You're blind to its value! If it were me..." Qin Jing said anxiously to Ye Muchen.

Ye Musi gently kicked him, stopping him from continuing!

"I don't think we can do it openly, let's try something covert! I'll send a few guards to follow her and see if we can get the salt-making formula!" Ye Muchen couldn't think of any other way.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately shook his head and denied it to himself, "No, that girl knows kung fu, and her kung fu is quite strange. If she finds out, it will be even more troublesome!"

Qin Jing's eyes widened. "Cousin, you're saying she knows kung fu? No, what kind of monster did you marry?!"

"Brother Jing, she's Jing Zhiyuan's daughter, is it so strange that she knows kung fu?" Ye Musi felt that Qin Jing shouldn't be so surprised.

"If this doesn't work out openly, and it doesn't work secretly, then what should we do?" Ye Musi rubbed his forehead.

After a moment of silence, Ye Muchen looked up and said, "Let's do it both openly and secretly! How will we know if it will work if we don't try?"

The other two nodded in unison!

At Jingning Garden, Jingxue inquired about Qin Jing from Gao Chi and learned that his family were imperial merchants who frequently traveled around the country. Jingxue thought that cooperating with him would be a good idea.

At least my things can be made public, and most people won't suspect them!

Thinking of this, Jingxue went back to her room and got two boxes of shampoo and conditioner sets. The sandalwood boxes looked very high-end.

Give it to Gao Chi and tell him it's a return gift for Qin Jing and the other person!

Gao Chi thought to himself, "Why doesn't the princess give the prince a box?" But he dared not say it out loud, for fear of being tied to a tree again. Although it wouldn't hurt, it would be too embarrassing.

When they returned to Lingyun Pavilion, the three princes were talking in the study. Gao Chi stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness, this is a return gift from the Princess Consort to the Heir Apparent and the Fourth Prince!"

"Hehe, little sister-in-law, you're quite something! You know how to get things done. Let me see what good stuff this is!" Qin Jing said, opening the gift box.

Inside were three beautiful imitation porcelain bottles, labeled shampoo, shower gel, and body lotion respectively!

Although the bottle opening was sealed with wax, you could still smell a faint minty scent, which was refreshing and pleasant!

Ye Muchen was very displeased to see that both of them were holding gifts!

Is this what you call being capable?

Do we need one more for him?

Just strangle her!

snort!

But some people couldn't make out the details. Qin Jing held the bottle up to Ye Muchen's side and said, "Third Brother, smell this, it's so refreshing!"

"roll!"

"Haha, cousin, you've finally met your match! Fourth brother, let's go back first today, I want to try these good things!" Qin Jing grinned, revealing eight teeth.

After packing the box, Ye Musi walked to the door, not forgetting to turn back and say, "Third Brother, don't forget to go to the estate tomorrow. We'll be waiting for you at your residence tomorrow morning!"

With a "whoosh," a calligraphy brush flew over, startling Ye Musi so much that she shrank her neck and ran away as fast as she could.

Gao Chi, standing to the side, bit her lip, not daring to laugh!

Ye Muchen turned his head and saw Gao Chi's appearance, glaring at him, "Go pick it up! If it's unusable, just throw it away!"

Everyone is laughing at him, it's all Jingxue's fault!

"Gao Chi, go and fetch Dark Armor!"

In Jingning Garden, Jingxue took the three little ones for a walk to digest their food.

"One, two, one, two, one!" the little myna bird called out, swaying back and forth on Leap Month's shoulder.

"Little Black, take a rest!" Jingxue called out to it, and it kept trying to walk away!

"Boss, it's me, Little Darling!"

"An'an, I'm going to the estate tomorrow and I might not be back that day. Would you and Yingying stay at the manor with Sister Xiaoman?"

"Miss, is the estate far away?" An'an asked, tilting her little face up.

"Yes, I'm afraid you'll get tired riding in a carriage!"

An'an lowered her head and remained silent. "Yingying isn't afraid of being tired, Yingying doesn't want to leave her sister!" The little girl held Jingxue's hand pitifully.

Jingxue sighed. It had only been two days, and the two children still didn't feel safe.

“An’an, Yueyue, come here, let me teach you a trick!” Jingxue changed the subject again.

"Yeah!"

The Second Prince's Mansion

Prime Minister Zou and Ye Musen sat facing each other in rattan chairs in the study, the teapot on the charcoal stove bubbling away!

"Uncle, what do you think the Emperor means by this? Why did he send me to provide disaster relief?"

"Perhaps he's afraid the ministers will accuse him of favoritism? After all, quite a few officials have been saying this in the past two years. But Mu Sen, this is a tough job! You should be prepared."

Ye Musen picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Prime Minister Zou. "You're right, they only gave 20,000 taels of silver. What kind of disaster relief is that!"
