How can one be able to hold the position of imperial concubine just by virtue of beauty and family background?
Concubine Li Huang has a very high IQ. She saw that the emperor's intention in sending goat milk soap was just to make Concubine Zhao's nephew the Duke famous. That was the emperor's wish, plus Concubine Zhao was in the palace.
If Zhong Zhong is not a threat to him at all, then he can help them casually. For Concubine Li Huang, her biggest opponent is Concubine Yuan Shi, the biological mother of the third prince.
And with the help of the imperial concubine, goat milk soap quickly became known to everyone in the harem. By the afternoon, there were already many visitors in the Juhe Palace. No need to ask, they all came to ask for goat milk soap.

After getting goat milk soap and knowing how to buy it, all the concubines returned home satisfied.
Yongchun Palace.
Concubine Yuan's bedroom.
As the person whose status in the harem is second only to Imperial Concubine Li, Concubine Yuan is also not lacking in popularity. Just like now, several concubines are sitting together in her palace, chatting and laughing. Opposite them, eight
A piece of goat milk soap was neatly placed there, which was sent by Concubine Zhao early in the morning.
Giving ten yuan to the imperial concubine and eight yuan to the noble concubine is enough to prove that Concubine Zhao knows the difference between dignity and inferiority. This also makes Concubine Yuan Gui, who is sitting in the first place, hold her head high, as if she is proud.
The peacock should open its tail like a peacock and not put anyone in its eyes.
Concubine Yuan Guifei was originally from Suzhou, and her elder brother was Prince Qi, one of the vassal kings of the Daqian Dynasty. Not only that, she also gave birth to the third prince Tang Xiu, who has been named the third prince of Prince Xiang, the fourth prince after the prince Tang Xin.
Prince Zhu. The current emperor Tang Qingshan is in good health. Who can say that King Xiang will not come back and become the crown prince, and will succeed you as the next emperor?

What’s a goat’s milk soap that adds body odor?
But Concubine Yuan can not give it, but Concubine Zhao has to give it away. This is a matter of being sensible and not sensible.
Compared to the other concubines who only had to pay two yuan each, she got eight yuan without doing anything. At this moment, Concubine Yuan looked proud and even looked at the goat milk soap in front of her with a lot of pleasure. "That's all.
Since this product has extraordinary effects, Ruixin, please go to Juhe Palace to say hello, and we will ask for more goat milk soap for the next batch."
The female official Ruixin quickly agreed, turned around and drifted away.
At this point, goat milk soap has caught the eye of an imperial concubine and a concubine, and is constantly praised by other concubines. This is the first step of advertising. The next step is how to produce it on a large scale and create profits.
The eldest princess is in her villa in Daliang City, Wangyou Mansion.
Wangyou was once the title of the eldest princess, which means forgetting her sorrows and troubles. Unfortunately, the eldest princess’s horseman died young. He fell to the ground while riding a horse and was trampled to death by a strong horse.
After his death, the eldest princess has been single to this day.
On the table in front of the eldest princess Tang Qinglan, eight pieces of goat milk soap were also neatly arranged. There was also an autographed letter from Concubine Zhao, to the effect that Duke Zhong wanted to participate in the Zhengyang Festival two days later. Luoshui Poetry Society.
The letter has been unfolded for a long time. The eldest princess did not say anything for a long time. The female official Zhuyun who was looking at it was a little confused. Isn't he just an ignorant and chaotic little prince? But he is like this because of the shadow of his ancestors. It’s just a status. After all, it’s not as good as those talented people who have read poetry and books. Even if Concubine Zhao is involved, she can still refuse. Do you really think that a Duke who inherits the position of his father can be the eldest princess? Can't you show off your authority in front of others?
Zhu Yun had a puzzled look on her face, but the eldest princess did not make a decision right away. She remembered something in her mind, which was a secret document she accidentally saw when she went to the palace to find her brother. , which recorded Shen Ao's daily actions. Emperor Qianwen happened to be out on business at that time, and she saw it when she accidentally looked through the memorials.
Since then, the eldest princess has also become interested in Shen Ao. However, after observation, she found that this person is really mediocre. If there is anything special about him, he is an extremely bastard. He does things without rules. He is always out, and he does things based on his own temperament and preferences. She really can't understand why the emperor's brother would send someone to keep an eye on such a person.
It is said that Duke Zhongguo has passed away many years ago, and his former subordinates have also fallen apart and are no longer in a state of affairs, but why are they still staring at this child?
The eldest princess couldn't figure it out and simply stopped thinking about it. From her point of view, her life would not have any intersection with this bastard little prince. What she never thought was that now that she had bumped into each other, he actually wanted to Participate in her own poetry meeting. Although Concubine Zhao also included the original text of "Little Pond" in the letter, the eldest princess also thought it was a good poem. But the devil believed that it was written by Shen Ao himself.
He must have asked someone to do it for him. If that was the case, why did he still participate in the poetry meeting? What was his purpose?
The emperor's brother has been sending people to monitor this person. If she interacts with him, will it be good or bad?
The fact that the eldest princess has her current status and that Concubine Zhao is so jealous is obviously not only because she has a brother who is the emperor, but also because of her high IQ, her ability to see things accurately, and her ability to grasp the overall situation.
If Shen Ao is just a hereditary Duke on the surface, the matter is quite simple. But before confirming the emperor's intention, the eldest princess must think carefully about it. It's been a long time, eldest daughter. The princess still had not made a decision. Zhuyun, who had followed her for more than ten years, couldn't help but said, "Master, he is just an ordinary person with no knowledge and skills. Doesn't participating in the poetry meeting tarnish the reputation of the master?"
"Huh? A mediocre person." The eldest princess couldn't help but frown slightly, and then slowly let go, and her face became much better.
Yes, the emperor is investigating Shen Ao's matter, but no one knows about it. The emperor doesn't know that he knows about it. Even so, just treat him as an ordinary person. Just take a closer look at this person. Little Duke, isn’t it just right?
The eldest princess, who thought about it instantly, immediately took out an invitation, wrote Shen Ao's name on it herself, and handed it to Zhu Yun who was standing aside. "Send someone to deliver it to the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion."
"This... promise." Seeing that the eldest princess had made up her mind, Zhu Yun did not dare to say anything, so she agreed and went to make arrangements.
Soon, the invitation was delivered to the Zhongguo Palace. Shen Ao took it in his hand and looked at it before putting it aside. He didn't know that there were many hidden secrets in this matter. He just thought that Concubine Zhao had spoken and the eldest princess was just It's just a way of giving him face. Then it's up to him. How should he behave so that he can catch the eyes of the eldest princess and take the initiative in the subsequent cooperation process?
It has been a long-standing habit for Shen Ao to always be fully prepared when doing things. This time is no exception. He knows that his identity as a prince cannot be seen by the other party. Even if the status is not equal, he has to rely on his talent. Then The next thing to consider is whether the poem will be a blockbuster or a blockbuster?
It's definitely amazing, it just depends on which famous poems are picked out. Slowly closing his eyes, Shen Ao fell into memories and thinking...
...

She was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Although such a talented girl had a humbler status, she was still favored by the eldest princess. Bai Qiutong, who was holding a red invitation card, came with her maid Yunzhi in small steps. Before arriving at the Luoshui River.
A large ship with a length of several tens of feet was moored on the shore of Luoshui. Several burly and fierce-looking men stood in front of the wooden ladder, staring at all the guests.

When the time came, a group of people holding invitations lined up and walked to the big ship. Most of them were young talents and beautiful girls. This was also one of the eldest princess's tricks. She knew the ways of human nature well, and beautiful women often get better. The more places there are, the more talented people can be attracted. Otherwise, why would people often say that a beautiful woman matches a talented person?
