I made my fortune by livestreaming in ancient times.

"What is this? Is it glass? It's so beautiful!"

The eight beauties and the ladies of high society were quickly attracted by the beautiful glass bottles of various shapes and colors.

"Well, that's not the point of my presentation. The point is the precious liquid in these bottles—fragrance."

Shen Nianjiao pulled out a light pink bottle and unscrewed the cap: "Everyone can come and smell it."

The ladies were already restless; their eyes could no longer satisfy their curiosity. And so, the bottle was passed from one delicate, pale finger to another.

"It smells a bit like rosewater, but not quite. It's so strange, but it smells so good!"

"It has such a rich and fragrant aroma. I can almost smell the name, but I just can't quite put my finger on it."

"Miss Shen, could you please explain what this fragrance is?"

Shen Nianjiao's face was filled with undisguised pride: "Yes, this is fragrance, or perfume. Its basic ingredients include fragrance, alcohol and water."

"There's wine in here?" someone interjected in surprise.

The person next to her immediately corrected her: "It does contain alcohol, but not much. It's usually just a mixture of spices and oils."

Shen Nianjiao smiled and nodded, looking confident: "This young lady is right. Fragrance essence is the soul of these perfumes, while alcohol can help the perfume slowly evaporate, creating layers of top, middle and base notes."

What are the top, middle, and base notes?

"The top notes are the first scent that hits your nose and usually gives you the first impression; the middle notes are the heart of the perfume and last a long time; the base notes are the most lasting, bringing a warm and deep aftertaste. The top notes usually disappear within 15 minutes, the middle notes then emerge, and the base notes are the main scent of the perfume, which can make the fragrance on the skin last for 2 to 3 hours."

After Shen Nianjiao finished speaking, she let out a long sigh of relief.

My new company not only led me to unexpectedly travel back in time to the ancient Liang Dynasty, but the resources provided by the big boss in reality are also quite good.

A high-end luxury shopping mall is hosting a perfume festival, and the task of introducing the perfumes via live stream has fallen to her.

The timing was just perfect.

Nowadays, not only princesses and noble ladies from wealthy families watch her performances, but she also enjoys greater exposure in modern live streaming rooms.

This is much more effective than the promotional power of Zhu Luo's small live stream.

Perhaps in the future, she might even land a perfume endorsement.

"Miss Shen just mentioned fragrances. Is that the source of these scents?"

Shen Nianjiao put the bottle away, and after spraying it around, the perfume was empty: "Take this rose perfume from Jiao's family as an example. The basic fragrance is floral and fruity. In the top notes, you can feel the scents of bergamot, lychee, blackcurrant, and lemon. After a quarter of an hour, you can feel the fragrance of rose and peony in the middle notes. In the base notes, there are woody notes, cedar, ambroxan, and musk. Today is the Flower Festival, and most of these perfumes are made from flowers. I hope the princess will like it."

After saying that, Shen Nianjiao looked around smugly and found that everyone's attention was not on her, but on the small glass bottles in her hands.

She turned around abruptly and saw that the perfume shelves were all empty; the people in the room had taken them all to try.

Now she was in a panic: "These are gifts for the princess."

The ladies reluctantly returned the perfume.

Xiao Huaining smiled faintly, "Miss Shen, you've gone to so much trouble. Although I didn't quite understand what you said, these are certainly exquisite gifts..."

"This is a small gift, but I hope the ladies will like it."

Following the princess's usual pattern of speaking, she was probably going to say that she would give it to the empress again. Shen Nianjiao boldly interrupted the princess and turned her gaze to the princess's surroundings.

Ba Mei immediately understood: "We get a share of these too?"

Shen Nianjiao smiled and said, "Of course, these are specially reserved for the ladies. The ladies can choose for themselves. Does that sound alright, Princess?"

The room was a little unsettled, with some people whispering among themselves.

Shen Nianjiao knew they were mocking her, so she changed the subject and said, "I came in a hurry today. If you happen to like something, you can make an appointment at my shop. I will do my best to meet everyone's needs."

Someone recalled, "The Shen family's shop sells these things now?"

Shen Nianjiao said with no small amount of pride, "Yes, not only that, there are other novelties as well. I hope you will come and visit us when you have time in the future."

As she spoke, she glanced down at her skirt.

Everyone looked at each other, suddenly realizing why Miss Shen's attire seemed a bit strange today; she was here to do business.

They were puzzled yet curious about what other novelties she had in her shop.

A glint of light flashed in Xiao Huaining's eyes: "Since my sisters all like it, let them keep it. As for mine, let's leave it for Mother so she can also experience the scent of this... perfume."

The eight beauties had already rushed up to make their selections, completely ignoring the fact that the matriarch of the family, the princess, hadn't yet spoken.

Zhu Luo frowned deeply, at a loss for words.

Everyone knows that this person is eager to sell products through livestreaming; she's probably secured some kind of agency deal with her backer.

As for currying favor with Ba Mei.

Zhu Luo suddenly remembered that Shen Nianjiao knew how things were going to develop, so was this unusual approach the most reasonable thing in her eyes?

"Thank you, Princess!" Shen Nianjiao returned to Qi Rong's side with a beaming smile, and didn't forget to nod and smile at her aunt and cousin.

After her father became successful, Qi Xinyue became arrogant and haughty. The moment their eyes met, she raised her chin slightly and a disdainful sneer appeared on her lips, as if she didn't care about her gift at all.

Shen Nianjiao was unimpressed and didn't take this future defeated opponent seriously.

It took them quite a while to return to their seats, each clutching their perfume.

Everyone's face was flushed, indicating that they had just engaged in a considerable power struggle.

Xiao Huaining didn't care and let them do as they pleased, even offering suggestions with a smile from time to time. Xiao Zhuoying couldn't stand it anymore and almost grabbed Zhu Luo and slipped out.

However, she didn't forget her serious business.

"Lolo, didn't you bring a gift too? Was it that lotus flower?"

Banxia was startled and quickly lifted the lotus flower, which was half her height, upwards.

The bustling Hundred Flowers Pavilion suddenly fell silent, and everyone's attention was focused on the lotus flowers that towered above everyone's heads.

Zhu Luo chuckled inwardly.

Believe it or not, Banxia really did present an image of remaining untainted by the mud.

"Is Luo Luo sending lotus flowers?" Xiao Huaining asked with a faint smile.

“Yes,” Zhu Luo accepted the lotus flower, “this is my gift to the princess.”

The room erupted in an uproar.

A noblewoman scoffed, "Lotus flowers? Does Qin Lake lack them?"

Zhu Luo shook her finger: "Hey, this is different from the one in Qin Lake. It's an edible lotus."

"Food? Luo Luo wants to use lotus flowers in a dish?" Xiao Huaining's eyes lit up slightly as he carefully examined the lotus flowers, showing a rare interest.

"Yes, I want to use this lotus flower to make two fish dishes: lotus seedpod fish dumplings and fisherman's three delicacies."

“Fish? I remember the princess doesn’t eat fish,” one of the eight beauties reminded her.

"Yes, the Fish Princess in the manor never touches a single bite of food."

The boy's eyes lit up, and he smacked his lips, saying, "Tomorrow I love to eat fish, tomorrow I want to eat fish."

The woman in the rose-red dress smiled and said, "Alright, just have someone make it if you want to eat it tomorrow."

Zhu Luo didn't give her a hard time: "Who said the princess doesn't eat fish? Princess, please rest assured, today you'll have the most satisfying fish dish."
