Everyone dispersed and left Zhangsun Manor with their own thoughts.
Only Zhangsun Zhexian and Princess Xiangcheng were left in the small courtyard.
"Zhexian, tell me honestly. Where did this perfume come from?”
Princess Xiangcheng has always been intelligent.
To be listed as a target for the princesses to learn from by Li Er many times, not only was he outstanding in etiquette, appearance, and intelligence.
These days, Zhangsun Zhexian had been staying with her third brother. The moment she returned, she would bring back a perfume that everyone liked.
Could it be that these perfumes were made by his third brother?
"As expected, I can't hide it from you."
"These perfumes were developed by Li Ke.”
Zhangsun Zhexian didn't hide anything and spoke directly.
She did not tell so many people that Li Ke had a plan.
Because the more people knew, the more people would want to buy perfume from Li Ke.
Wouldn't the opportunity to test Li Kexin's perfume be taken away by others?
Moreover, Zhangsun Zhexian also wanted to snatch Li Ke's perfume formula this time.
"It really is him."
"My third brother is really getting more and more surprising.”
"But this is good too. I can live well after leaving the royal family. I don't have to worry anymore.”
Princess Xiang Cheng looked as if she had expected it.
At the same time, he secretly nodded his head and was happy for Li Ke.
When they were in the palace, Princess Xiang Cheng had met Li Ke many times. She knew that Li Ke's life in the palace was not very good and he was often targeted by the Crown Prince.
There was a conflict between the Crown Prince and Li Ke that was difficult to resolve. Outsiders did not know what it was, but she knew.
Because she knew, she understood that she could not stop the conflict between the two brothers.
Now, he could see that Li Ke, who had left the Imperial Palace, was living very well outside.
As her sister, she was relieved.
"It's more than just surviving well?"
"Look at how popular the ice business is now. Imagine how popular the perfume would be if more people knew about it?”
" Give him a few years. Even if he doesn't become the richest man in Chang 'an, he will at least become one of the top merchants.”
Zhangsun Zhexian said sourly.
Generally speaking, merchants had a very low status in the Great Tang.
However, the life of a rich person was enviable no matter where they were.
Therefore, some people looked down on merchants, while others actually maintained a neutral view of merchants.
For example, Zhangsun Zhexian belonged to the latter.
Coupled with Li Ke's awkward identity, who would dare to think that Li Ke was just an ordinary businessman?
"That's true."
Princess Xiang Cheng nodded and felt that it was right.
Then, the two of them left Zhangsun Manor.
One returned to Li Ke's residence, while the other returned to the palace.
Princess Xiang Cheng had just returned to her palace when she learned that Li Er was looking for her.
Before she could stop to rest, Princess Xiang Cheng headed towards the Li Zheng Hall.
It was lunchtime, and the Emperor was having his meal in the Empress's hall.
"Your son greets Imperial Father, greets Imperial Mother.”
Princess Xiang Cheng arrived at the Li Zheng Hall and successfully met the Emperor and Empress.
"You're here in Xiang City. Have you eaten?”
Li Er stopped eating and looked at Princess Xiang Cheng with a smile.
This elder daughter had grown up. It was time to get married.
The reason why he was looking for her today was to talk about her marriage.
Recently, many officials had asked him to marry the Princess of Xiang City.
"Father, not yet."
Princess Xiang Cheng said gently.
"Then come over and sit. Let's eat together."
Li Er laughed.
At this moment, he was like a loving father.
"Hurry up and get a pair of bowls and chopsticks."
The motherly Empress Zhangsun also laughed.
"Thank you Imperial Father, thank you Imperial Mother."
Princess Xiang Cheng bowed and sat down at the dining table.
The dining table was very small and could only seat four people at most.
Three dishes and one soup. All three were vegetarian dishes.
Princess Xiang Cheng did not say anything, but she sighed in her heart.
Recently, the war had been tense, and most of the money from the national treasury and the Inner Residence had been used to support the battlefield.
In addition, the crops had not been harvested well in recent years, and the national treasury could not make ends meet. His father set an example and was very frugal in eating and drinking.
For a long time, Princess Xiang Cheng had been worried that Li Er's body could not take it.
"Hey, Xiang Cheng, why do you smell so good?”
Empress Zhangsun asked curiously.
As soon as Princess Xiang Cheng sat down, she smelled a very pleasant rose fragrance that spread towards Princess Xiang Cheng's body.
The smell was so good that even he wanted to have it.
Li Er, who was at the side, also noticed it. He also felt that it smelled very good. He could not help but want to smell it again.
However, when he remembered that Princess Xiang Cheng was his daughter, Li Er suppressed that thought.
"Mother, this is perfume."
Princess Xiang Cheng chuckled and took out the bottle of rose perfume.
She thought to herself that it was just as Zhangsun Zhexian had said. Wearing perfume would make one the center of attention.
No wonder those little sisters seemed to have gone crazy and fought to buy it.
"The thing in this glass bottle is perfume?”
Empress Zhangsun took the glass bottle and looked at it curiously.
Li Er, who was beside him, also leaned over and was also very curious.
"Yes, mother."
"Open this bottle cap and drip two drops on the back of your hand.”
Princess Xiang Cheng chuckled.
She personally guided Empress Zhangsun to use it, smearing the perfume on Empress Zhangsun's jade-like hands and tender neck.
The moment the bottle cap was opened, a refreshing rose fragrance entered Li Er and Empress Zhangsun's noses.
"It smells good!"
"Is this called rose perfume? This is amazing!"
Li Er nodded repeatedly.
He was sitting close to Empress Zhangsun.
After Empress Zhangsun put on the perfume, she leaned over and sniffed.
For a moment, Li Er was tempted. He wanted to hug the woman in front of him.
However, when he noticed that his daughter was here, he could only forcefully suppress this thought.
But even so, he was still tempted by the rose perfume.
"This perfume smells so good.”
"Just smelling it makes me feel relaxed and comfortable.”
Empress Zhangsun sighed repeatedly.
She closed her eyes and enjoyed the experience of the rose perfume.
"Cough cough, Xiang Cheng, do you have more? Give your mother a few bottles.”
Li Er coughed dryly and said.
He was a little embarrassed and did not dare to look at his daughter.
This was because Li Er was thinking about hugging the empress who smelled of perfume to sleep.
Not only that, Li Er also let his thoughts wander, thinking about the fragrance of each of the three thousand beauties in the harem. He would change his perfume smell every day.
At the thought of this, his desire for perfume was even stronger than Empress Zhangsun's.
"I don't have any now, but when I do, I'll buy a few more bottles for mother.”
"This bottle, this bottle will be used by mother first. I will wait for the next batch.”
Princess Xiang Cheng looked at the rose perfume in Empress Zhangsun's hand with a reluctant expression.
She had just gotten her hands on the perfume and didn't even use it. She didn't know when Li Ke would have stock, so it would be strange if she was willing to use it.
However, as a daughter, it was only right for her to be filial to her mother.
If his mother wanted it, then he would give it to his mother first.
"Hahaha, you child, how could mother steal someone else's love?”
"Didn't you say there would be more? Mother can buy it when there are more.”
"By the way, when will the next batch come out?”
Empress Zhangsun chuckled and rubbed Princess Xiang Cheng's hair.
He had watched this girl grow up, so he knew very well what kind of temperament she had.
She knew that she had such intentions, but as the mother, how could she snatch something that her daughter liked?
"Your son doesn't know about the next batch."
Princess Xiang Cheng said embarrassedly.
She had forgotten to ask Zhangsun Zhexian when there would be another batch.
"I see."
"Then who made this magical thing?”
Empress Zhangsun was stunned.
She felt that if the Princess of Xiang City did not know, then the person who asked about the cooking would definitely know when the next batch would be released.
"Yes... Yes!"
Princess Xiangcheng pouted and hesitated to speak.
Looking at Li Er, he lowered his head and did not dare to say it out loud.
"Hahaha, child, what else can't you say in front of Imperial Father?”
Li Er laughed and urged Princess Xiang Cheng.
"Third Brother made it."
Princess Xiang Cheng whispered.
"What? It's that unfilial son again?”
Li Er's face immediately darkened.
The smile from before disappeared, and in an instant, dark clouds covered the sky.
Thinking of Li Ke and what happened that night at Li Ke's mansion, Li Er felt resentful.
Empress Zhangsun was stunned.
She felt that if the Princess of Xiang City did not know, then the person who asked about the cooking would definitely know when the next batch would be released.
"Yes... Yes!"
Princess Xiangcheng pouted and hesitated to speak.
Looking at Li Er, he lowered his head and did not dare to say it out loud.
"Hahaha, child, what else can't you say in front of Imperial Father?”
Li Er laughed and urged Princess Xiang Cheng.
"Third Brother made it."
Princess Xiang Cheng whispered.
"What? It's that unfilial son again?”
Li Er's face immediately darkened.
The smile from before disappeared, and in an instant, dark clouds covered the sky.
Thinking of Li Ke and what happened that night at Li Ke's mansion, Li Er felt resentful.
