Jiang Anyi went to the Ministry of Rites to file a two-day vacation and took his third uncle and the others to visit the capital. If it weren't for his third uncle and his younger brother, Jiang Anyi even planned to take Fatty Guo to experience the style of the brothel in Kyoto.

During this period, Master Yu called Jiang Anyi. After listening to his younger brother Yu Zhihe's story, Yu Zhijie also expressed concerns about the release of perfume. He also talked about the Jiang family's industry. The Yu family has made a lot of profits in other industries, so he doesn't want to take over the perfume shares.

Jiang Anyi was very impressed by being able to say this in the face of the huge temptation of money. Everyone in the scholars would talk about it with their mouths, and even talk about it in a vague way, but Master Yu really read it.

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Master Yu, don't worry, I have something to do with it."

Yu Zhijie is really relieved about this disciple. After a few things have been tempered, Jiang Anyi grew up very quickly. Compared with his youth when he first came out of the cottage, he is both mature and steady and sharp, which makes Yu Zhijie sometimes envious of the talent and sharpness displayed on his disciples, and feels like he is out of my mind.

On March 17th, it was the turn of Jiang'anyi's Eastern Palace to attend the lecture. The bachelor's attendant lecture was directly attendant. There was still a difference of one word. According to Jiang Anyong, the letter was almost the Chinese New Year. There were not many wintersweet flowers collected. With many trials, most of them were wasted. The final perfume was only seven or eight kilograms. Except for the three companies, they all divided them into some trials. The remaining forty bottles brought Jiang Anyi thirty bottles.

These thirty bottles of perfume had been locked into her box by Dong'er. After all, Jiang Anyi picked out three bottles of perfume from Dong'er's hand and put them in his arms and entered the East Palace. In the past few days, Jiang Anyi made up his mind and took the upper level route.

After the morning class, the prince gave him a meal as usual. Wei You became a strengthening contact with his brother-in-law. He would come to the East Palace to have a meal whenever he had time. This became a routine. During the meal, Jiang Anyi took out a bottle of perfume from his arms and wanted to open the curious eyes of the prince and Wei Youcheng.

"Master Jiang, what is this? Why is it so fragrant? Is it wine? This little bit of wine is not enough to drink in one sip." The prince's curious baby's heart broke out and asked several times.

"This is the fragrance of wintersweet, clear and elegant, and the fragrance seems to be more intense." Wei Youcheng took a deep breath intoxicatedly and asked, "An Yi, is it the essence of plum blossoms you collected? It drips a little while drinking tea, which is extremely wonderful."

A popular method of making tea is among the scholars and officials. He put on green onions, ginger, dates, orange peels, mint and other items together with the tea leaves and boiled them for drinking. Spices are also important. Wei Youcheng thought he was a lover of this kind of tea. This idea was a reminder to Jiang Anyi, but after trying this method of making tea, Jiang Anyi stayed away from it. After all, he still liked the fragrance of Anlong tea and slightly bitter and sweet.

"As Mr. Wei said, this fragrance is made by absorbing the charm of wintersweet and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. A tree of plum blossoms has this small bottle."

Jiang Anyi's deception suddenly attracted the attention of the prince and Wei Youcheng. Jiang Anyi was secretly proud, and his speaking level was getting higher and higher. He continued: "This fragrance was developed by his mother. It drips on his body. The fragrance will not dissipate for three days, and the woman..."

"Give it to me." Before Jiang Anyi could finish his words, the prince and Wei Youcheng stretched out their hands at the same time.

"I want to offer it to my mother, brother-in-law, please wait for next time." The prince said bluntly.

Wei Youcheng smiled and said, "If An Shou knew, it would be uncomfortable for me as a brother-in-law, and the Crown Prince would probably not be uncomfortable."

The prince shivered, obviously deeply fearing his sister An Shou's destructive power. His eyes rolled, and the prince smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's leave it to Master Jiang to decide."

Jiang Anyi thought to himself, Your Highness really has you, you dare not offend the princess, and I will not do it either. I slowly took out another bottle from my arms and said with a smile: "One person can just have one bottle."

The prince and Wei Youcheng were overjoyed, and each one was holding a bottle in his hands. The prince looked at Jiang Anyi's arms with black eyes and asked, "Master Jiang, can't there be only two bottles?"

Jiang Anyi took out another bottle from his arms, and the prince grabbed it with a smile. This time it was Wei Youcheng's turn to glar. Jiang Anyi shrugged and spread his hands and said, "It's really nothing."

When he returned home, Jiang Anyi did not go out in the afternoon. It was estimated that news would come soon. The charm of perfume was indeed unstoppable. After only half an hour of entering the door, an eunuch came to pass the order. The empress summoned Jiang Anyi to the East Palace for a question, and mentioned that she would bring more perfumes into the palace.

Dong'er was extremely reluctant to part with her, but for the sake of her husband's future, she gritted her teeth and took out as many as seven bottles and put them in a brocade box to allow Jiang Anyi to bring them to the East Palace.

In the Wenhua Hall of the East Palace, Empress Wang sat upright, with bead curtains hanging in front, and the prince was accompanied by a side. On the other side, Princess Anshou was sitting next to the princess, and Wei Youcheng sat next to the princess, and the cold fragrance of plum blossoms was scattered in the entire hall.

Jiang Anyi entered the hall and kowtowed in a regular manner, "Greetings to the Empress Qiansui, His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Princess."

An Shou put Jiang Anyi next to him, knowing that it was perfume, so he pushed Wei Youcheng beside him impatiently and signaled him to get it. Wei Youcheng apologized to the princess and shook his head slightly.

"Jiang Qing, I asked you, this perfume is made by your family, how many more?"

The sound of Qingyue came from behind the bead curtain. Jiang Anyi knew it was the queen's voice and dared not look up and said, "This perfume was made by his mother and is still under development. Only a few bottles are left by my side."

An eunuch stepped forward to take the cotton box raised by Jiang Anyi and presented it to the queen. Anshou opened the box impatiently. Seeing that there were only seven bottles in the box, he was a little disappointed and snorted coldly: "Jiang Anyi, have you hidden the perfume?"

"I dare not."

Queen Wang glared at her daughter, and Princess Anshou stuck out her tongue, and felt that she had spoken a little too much.

"Jiang Aiqing, I like the perfume made by your mother very much. I want the perfume to be offered to the palace. I wonder how many bottles of perfume your family can produce in a year?"

"Qizhao Niang, perfume is a new thing. This fragrance is made of wintersweet flowers. According to normal circumstances, as long as the fragrance flowers and plants can be made into perfume, I estimate that the perfume will be less than 100,000 bottles per year."

I heard that as long as the fragrance of flowers and plants can be made into perfume, Princess Anshou danced and Queen Wang couldn't help but be happy.

"Jiang Aiqing, I decided to let your house supply 2,000 bottles in the palace every year, and you will be worth a lot of yours at the market price. Of course, there are new fragrance types, and you must provide them to me in time."

Jiang Anyi was secretly happy and kowtowed upwards, "Empress, Qiansheng, how dare I spend money in the palace with a few bottles of perfume? I know that Long Live Festival is enough and I don't add vegetables to my meals. These perfumes are my dedication."

Queen Wang was very happy and comforted her: "I have received Jiang Aiqing's intentions, but how can the palace take advantage of the ministers? There is no need to say anything about this matter, just settle it like this. By the way, how much is this bottle of perfume selling price?"

"The cost of this perfume is too high, and the price will not be less than twenty taels per bottle."

Queen Wang was stunned. It was so expensive, twenty taels per bottle, and that two thousand bottles would not cost 40,000 taels of silver. Although there was a lot of money in the palace, the emperor must be unhappy if he spent so much money on a small perfume. Even the prince and An Shou were stunned. The prince’s annual statute was only 20,000 taels.

Jiang Anyi kowtowed again and said, "Empress, I have a love for you, and I have to report back."

"Tell me." Queen Wang's tone became a little colder.

"Perfume is a new thing. If you are willing to try it in the palace, you will become famous invisibly. This is something that I cannot ask for. Therefore, I ask the palace to try it out and offer the trial fee." Jiang Anyi was a little nervous, and success or failure was the only way to do so.

"Oh." Queen Wang's face smiled again.

Princess Anshou was not so restrained and smiled and said, "Jiang Anyi, it's very smooth. How much trial money are you going to offer? I have also tried it for you. You can't miss this one."

"I know that the cost of the palace is very high, and the annual rate of the Crown Prince is only tens of thousands of taels. As a direct scholar in Chongwenguan, I often receive rewards from the crown prince, and I feel uneasy. I estimate that the profit of perfume is no less than one million taels of silver every year. I am willing to give 20% of the pure profit of perfume for the Empress and the Crown Prince to use, and the other profit is given to Princess Anshou."

There was a heavy breathing sound in the hall, 20% of which was no less than 200,000 taels of silver, and Princess Anshou's money was 300,000 taels of silver. In addition to the examples of silver in the palace, the queen also had a source of income, such as the moon-scented wine gave Queen Wang 100,000 taels of silver every year, and some miscellaneous businesses. Queen Wang's annual income was more than 200,000 taels.

Although he is the queen, there are many places to use money. His confidants around him need rewards, palace maids and eunuchs need rewards, family members need rewards, and the prince needs subsidies. In short, the Queen Wang is not well-off, and 300,000 taels are not a small amount for Queen Wang.

But Queen Wang's face turned gloomy and said coldly: "Jiang Anyi, what do you mean? Do you buy this palace? You are so brave."

Jiang Anyi's heart sank and kowtowed, "I dare not. I tell the truth that the benefits of perfume are too huge. Once it is launched, it will inevitably be coveted by all parties. I am a mere 6-ranked member of the Ministry of Rites, and will be swallowed by many big men. As a minister, I should be loyal to the king. As a direct scholar of the Chongwenguan in the East Palace, I am also loyal to the crown prince. Instead of being swallowed by others, it is better to give it to the crown prince. I ask myself that I dare not do anything to be sorry for the crown prince, and I also hope that the crown prince can protect me for my life. I have a lot of selfishness, I hope the empress can understand it."

Queen Wang looked at Jiang Anyi kneeling in the hall, chewing on the sincerity in Jiang Anyi's words. Although Jiang Anyi's words were somewhat beyond the reach, the key lies in sincerity. This son was only young and should not be as cunning as those old ministers, and had high credibility. Long live his life as a national scholar. If he could give up his support to the prince, plus Wei Youcheng and others, the position of the prince would definitely be stable. With this 300,000 taels of silver, everything in the palace could naturally be firmly grasped. Huang Shuilan and others wanted to shake the position of the prince and dreamed.

Thinking of this, Queen Wang smiled and said, "Jiang Aiqing, I have taken over the prince's intentions. Prince, you must live in Jiang Aiqing's loyalty."
