The next day, Princess Consort Yun from the Prince Kang Mansion sent an invitation to Lady Wu and Yun Jiao to admire chrysanthemums.
Admiring the flowers was rely an excuse, as Lady Wu had arrived in Xiang City, Princess Consort Yun had to show her hospitality.
Early in the morning, Yun Jiao sat in the carriage with Lady Wu and headed to the Prince Kang Mansion.
Upon entering, they were led by the nanny to Princess Consort Yun’s courtyard.
Princess Kang was also present, and as soon as Yun Jiao and Lady Wu entered, she quickly rose to greet them.
Her attitude was even more enthusiastic than their last eting, and Yun Jiao felt that her smile had a hint of flattery.
In Princess Kang’s eyes, Yun Jiao was now distinctly different.
Naturally, it was because of Jiang Youzhi.
The biological father of Jiang Youzhi, the Duke of England, now commands 800,000 Forbidden Army troops, making him a real power figure wielding substantial military force.
His maternal grandmother is the Princess, the emperor’s own sister.
His grandfather is the Great General guarding the southern territories.
In short, the entire family is distinguished.
Moreover, Prince Kang and Jiang Youzhi are relatives.
However, Jiang Youzhi is a generation younger than Prince Kang.
Though Prince Kang’s status is prestigious, his influence in the court cannot compare to that of the Duke of England.
If Prince Kang could establish a connection with the Duke of England through Jiang Youzhi, it would provide imnse support for him.
And Yun Jiao is the apple of Jiang Youzhi’s eye, how could Princess Kang not be enthusiastic?
Princess Kang first smiled at Lady Wu, then took Yun Jiao’s hand warmly and said, "Sister, we haven’t seen each other for a while. It was long overdue that I invite you to the mansion, but I feared you might be busy."
Yun Jiao smiled back, "Last ti, you sent lychees, I haven’t had the chance to thank you."
Princess Kang chuckled lightly, "It’s just so food, not worthy of thanks."
The group walked over and sat next to Princess Consort Yun.
Princess Consort Yun bead and invited Yun Jiao to sit beside her, rubbing her hand warmly, "It’s just been a few months since we last t, but Yun Jiao has grown more beautiful."
"Jiao Jiao is truly my little lucky star. I returned to the Capital City with her help, and it brought great pride."
Lady Wu laughed and asked, "Why do you say that, Lady Yun?"
Princess Consort Yun covered her mouth and laughed, "You don’t know, for my birthday last ti, Yun Jiao gifted perfu that was both attractive and fragrant, without a hint of smoke."
"When I returned to the palace, the Empress and Imperial Concubine asked what scent I used, why it was so pleasant."
"I told them it was perfu; they had never heard of it."
Lady Wu thought to herself, I haven’t heard of it either.
"I showed them the perfu, and they said it was delightful and refreshing, and they wanted it from ."
Princess Consort Yun said, "I had no choice but to give the untouched jasmine perfu to the Empress."
"The Imperial Concubine wouldn’t relent, she insisted I also give her a bottle. I told her it was too rare, made from the essence of hundreds of flowers, and only two bottles were crafted; I had none left myself."
"In the end, I gave her a bottle of mosquito-repelling flower dew, and she was satisfied."
Yun Jiao listened with a sweet smile.
Princess Consort Yun continued, "Your mosquito-repelling flower dew, the Imperial Concubine loves it so much, she said from now on she wants the Ministry of Internal Affairs to procure this flower dew for the palace."
Yun Jiao’s eyebrows slightly raised, the palace wants to buy her flower dew?
At this mont, Princess Kang winked at Yun Jiao, "Sister, co with , I have sothing to discuss with you."
Princess Consort Yun smiled and waved her hand, "Alright, you two sisters go play, I’ll chat with Lady Wu for a while."
Princess Kang took Yun Jiao to a side hall and whispered, "You heard what Mother Consort said, I have an idea: how about the two of us start a workshop dedicated to producing this flower dew? Not to ntion, the sales will surely be worry-free, and the palace procurent alone will be substantial. Once it starts being used in the palace, it will beco popular throughout the Capital City."
