Chapter 212 I know you
Women dress up to please themselves, and this skin care product is actually more popular than perfume.
The Yang family also worked tirelessly to find someone to imitate it, but this thing was different from the fragrant dew.
Zhao Fangyu specially ordered porcelain jars for skin care products. Each one was not much bigger than a goose egg. When taking products out, a special small flat spoon was needed. The names of the fourteen states were all written on the lid, the jar body, and the spoon handle.
Yangjia Xiangluguan followed suit, but its name was not well chosen and was not as grand as Fourteen States.
When someone else takes it out, it has the Fourteen States written on it, but you take out a Yang Family Fragrant Dew House...
It's somewhat inelegant.
In the flourishing style of the capital, elegance is the most important thing.
Yang Xiaofei's Xianglu Pavilion suffered a setback, so she had to rename her own imitation skin care products Xiangyun Palace.
It's just too late and not many people buy it.
Yang Xiaofei's perfume has indeed been popular in the capital for some time, and the situation has developed to the point where people are sent to wait at the port every day.
Seeing how anxious she was, the caravan slaughtered the fat sheep without hesitation.
Yang Xiaofei was afraid that the caravan would raise the price again, so she quickly signed a contract to order ten thousand bottles!
Zhao Fangyu had never seen such a big fool. Not only did she spend all the money she had earned during this period, she also emptied the family assets of the third prince, and even the imperial concubine in the palace was taken away by her private money.
However, the Third Prince, considering the huge amount of money, still allowed Yang Xiaofei to do the perfume business.
"The second brother has been guarding this golden child, now it's my turn."
"I never knew the perfume business was so profitable!"
It's not untrue that the Fourteen States make a fortune every day. The Third Prince felt very uncomfortable when he thought about how he had allowed the Fourteen States to make so much money.
Fortunately, this is the only good news recently, and even if there are turbulent times in the court, it can ease some of the tension.

Zhao Fangyu sat comfortably in the yard, reading a geography book.
When Zhou Qinghe came, she was sitting with her legs crossed, her feet comfortably tucked under the belly of a fat cat.
"Where did the raccoon come from?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fangyu picked up the chubby cat slave. The cat slave was very well-educated and was not aggressive towards people. He was as docile as a baby.
"This cat is the offspring of the raccoon that my elder sister has raised since it was young. I managed to snatch it back from my mother with great difficulty."
As soon as he woke up, there was a chubby and clingy little cat clinging to him, and Zhao Fangyu felt brighter.
Zhou Qinghe rubbed the little paw of the raccoon slave and said, "My cousin wants to see you. She asked me when you will enter the palace after the court today."
Zhao Fangyu held the raccoon slave in his arms and gently rubbed the soft flesh on his belly: "Does my sister's man look anxious?"
"No hurry, Concubine Dan sent a message saying that it's nothing serious, but Ni'er misses you."
Zhao Fangyu was surprised: "Ni'er? Then I will go tomorrow."
Concubine Dan had never used Ni'er as an excuse, and Zhao Fangyu was unsure what this meant. It was already late today and it was not convenient to go into the palace, so Zhao Fangyu scheduled it for tomorrow.
Zhao Fangyu never hid these things from Zhou Qinghe. On the other hand, Zhou Qinghe would come and tell her if he knew anything.
"The matter of the Third Prince visiting prostitutes is about to come to an end."
Zhao Fangyu was unable to attend court, so he had no idea about the sophistry going on in the court.
"The Third Prince was abandoned by the Cui family for visiting prostitutes. Now the officials who are on good terms with the Cui family, and even all the military commanders, are putting pressure on the Third Prince."
"The court has been discussing this for many days, and even Prime Minister Yang is no longer helping. The matter should have been settled long ago."
Zhao Fangyu held Li Nu in his arms and stroked her gently, she couldn't understand.
"The Yang family and the Third Prince...are truly a good match."
This marriage was neither good nor bad. Zhao Fangyu was not sure about the emperor's specific intentions, so he simply gave up thinking about it.
But it is undeniable that the third prince’s greatest helper in the court is Prime Minister Yang.
Now that Prime Minister Yang no longer assists the Third Prince, in that person's opinion, does this mean that the Yang family cannot be used by the Third Prince?
"Is the Yang family going to cut ties with the Third Prince?"
Zhou Qinghe recalled the news he had heard and said, "Almost the same. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yang Xiaofei sent messages to the Yang family several times, but all fell on deaf ears."
Zhou Qinghe briefly talked to Zhao Fangyu about the situation in the court, and then was driven away by Zhao Fangyu.
Early the next morning, Zhao Fangyu entered the palace wearing a wide-sleeved dress made of cassia twigs.
But the one waiting for her today was not the expected Concubine Dan, but a girl dressed in black in the garden.
In the capital, few girls would wear black coats, unless the girl was in mourning.
The person was wearing a white pleated skirt with a white tube top, and a wide-sleeved peony-shaped top with gold thread. Her black hair was as thick as black clouds, and she only had two golden lilies in her hair.
Apart from this, there is no other decoration from top to bottom.
The sudden appearance of this woman, combined with the news Zhou Qinghe sent back yesterday, Zhao Fangyu immediately realized that it was not Concubine Dan who wanted to see her today, but to meet the woman.
The next moment, Ni'er ran out from behind the woman, rushed over and hugged Zhao Fangyu's legs and explained: "Sister-in-law! I missed you!"
The moment he saw Ni'er, Zhao Fangyu knew that all this was done at the instruction of Concubine Dan.
She didn't know what this sudden meeting meant, but she still hugged Ni'er with a happy face and asked him, "What did you do just now that made you sweat so much? Should I take you to find the Dan Fei?"
Ni'er looks similar to Zhou Qinghe, so Zhao Fangyu likes Ni'er more than other people's children. Besides, Meng Yanzhen has brought up this child very well. He is tactful in what he says and does, and he never makes people feel uncomfortable.
Ni'er shook his chubby face and pointed at the woman in black in the pavilion with his chubby fingers: "Ni'er, go find your mother by yourself. Sister-in-law, please sit here."
As he said that, he took the initiative to get down from Zhao Fangyu's arms and ran to the Yanyun Palace. After running a few steps, he turned back and said, "Sister-in-law, remember to come and play with me! I left you some delicious Jiaodounu at my mother's place!"
Zhao Fangyu watched the chubby Ni'er leave before turning around and going up the stairs.
The pavilion was quite large and had ventilation on all sides, but there wasn't much people to be seen. Apart from Zhao Fangyu, the only person there was Chun Shao behind her.
When she entered the room just now, she also smiled slowly at the woman in black in the pavilion.
If they wanted to talk, they would have started talking long ago, but the other party never opened his mouth, and Zhao Fangyu didn't even know the man's name. For a moment, both of them held a cup of tea in their hands.
Zhao Fangyu looked at the scenery in the garden and tried hard to recall everything about this woman.
She had also attended several banquets hosted by Madam Beijing, but it seemed...she had never seen this woman in black?
It was probably the mourning period, so she avoided all the banquets that Zhao Fangyu attended.
"I know you, you are Meng Yangjiang's cousin." The woman in black suddenly spoke, looking at Zhao Fangyu's profile.
