The movements in the harem were naturally not hidden from the emperor. He was very curious about what the soap was. He ordered Eunuch Huang to buy some to see what it was.

"emperor……"

Eunuch Huang bowed, "I sent someone to inquire. Only the soap sold in the shops jointly operated by the Xu family and Dingguo Duke's Mansion. It was said that it was shipped back from the south and was very popular. It was robbed in less than three days and could not buy even if there was money. If the emperor wanted to see it, it would be better to go to the place of Concubine Rou or Concubine Xian. Both of the empresses had a lot of hands."

After saying that, before the emperor asked, he said, "The second prince sent the Empress Rou to the palace, and the Empress Xian was sent by the wife of the Duke of Dingguo."

The emperor didn't think about it, "Prepare a sedan chair and go to Kunli Palace."

Eunuch Huang asked someone to prepare a sedan chair, the emperor left the imperial study room, and came all the way to Concubine Xian's residence.

The emperor hadn't come for several days. When he heard the report, Concubine Xian came out to greet him. The emperor helped the person up and took her hand into the house to sit down. "I heard that you have soap in your hand, so let me see."

Concubine Xian ordered the palace servants to take all the unused ones and put them on the table one by one, "It is used to wash hands, face and bathe. It is very useful. After washing, the skin is delicate and fair, and it also has a faint fragrance."

The emperor naturally didn't believe it, so he asked Eunuch Huang to fetch water. After trying it myself, he realized why the concubines in the harem liked it so much. It was both convenient and easy to use, and he also liked it.

Seeing his likes, Concubine Xian covered her mouth and laughed, "Which taste does the emperor like? I'll give it to you."

If it were other concubines, they would not dare to speak to the emperor like this. Everything in the palace belonged to the emperor, even them. But Concubine Xian was different. The emperor liked her very much and smiled immediately, "Then I would like to thank you. I like all these."

Concubine Xian's smile froze.

It was rare to see her like this, and the emperor laughed.

Concubine Xian reacted and pushed all the soap to the emperor, "Since the emperor likes it, I will give it to the emperor. Anyway, in a while, my parents' home will send a lot of them to the palace."

"I heard that the shops were sold out and I couldn't buy them. I took them away. Don't worry."

"I don't feel sorry for me. I heard from my mother that Yue'er expected that the soap would be very good. She ordered a lot from the Meng family, and a boat would be delivered soon."

Thinking of Meng Yang mentioned in the memorial, the emperor asked calmly, "The Meng family you mentioned are the Meng family where the Xu family got married?"

"It's the Meng family."

No wonder the Meng family took the lead in donating money, making money was too easy.

The emperor asked Eunuch Huang to take all the soaps, and sat for another half an hour before leaving Kunli Palace. Wherever he walked along the way, he could hear the vague sound of the soaps.

In the evening, Concubine Rou sent someone to pass the message and asked the emperor to come over.

Concubine Rou and Concubine Rong now manage the harem together, and often ask the palace servants to invite the emperor to tell him about the harem.

The emperor approved the memorial without raising his head, "Tell Concubine Rou that I went to eat dinner."

Eunuch Huang should have gone out to tell the big palace maid who was sent to pass the message.

After getting the exact answer, the great palace maid walked back to Zhongyi Palace with a happy face, "Empress, the emperor is here to have dinner."

Concubine Rou was also happy, "Go and tell the kitchen to make more dishes that the emperor likes."

The great palace maid should have walked away quickly.

Concubine Rou ordered the palace servants to clean up the inside and outside of Zhongyi Palace. As soon as they finished packing up, the emperor's sedan chair arrived.

Concubine Rou went out to greet him, "I have seen the emperor."

"Let's go flat."

The emperor walked over to her, and Concubine Rou turned around and followed.

Walking into the house, the emperor sat down and asked, "But what happened?"

"There is one thing that I can't make up my mind and want to discuss with the emperor."

The emperor seemed a little tired, moved his body back and leaned against the back of the chair. Seeing this, Concubine Rou walked behind him and helped him with moderate strength.

The emperor closed his eyes and said, "Tell me, what's the matter."

"A few days ago, the second prince gave me some soap. I saw a lot of it, so I asked someone to share it with many sisters. They all agreed to use it, and they sent people to buy it but didn't buy it. They all came over to find me. I was wondering if I would ask the palace to buy some and give it to the sisters in each palace, so that they would not send people out to buy it again and again."

The emperor opened his eyes.

Concubine Rou stood behind him and couldn't see it, and continued, "I heard that this soap was shipped back from the south, and there was only one shop in the capital. Although there was not much money, it was used in the palace after all. If the emperor agreed, I thought of sending people to the south to buy more, so that I could save some money."

The emperor patted her hand, and Concubine Rou came over and sat down, waiting for him to answer.

But the emperor just said, "Let's pass on the meal."

Concubine Rou knew the tactfulness and stopped asking questions, and ordered people to pass on food.

After the meal, the emperor did not stop for a long time. He went back to the imperial study room and picked up the note from the prefect of Jinling to read it again.

He knew that he was known as the local emperor as the prefect of Jiangnan, but the sky was high and the road was far away.

He was unable to control himself, and he turned a blind eye to many things. Just like this donation, the merchants donated and used how much they used, he could only learn from the memorial of the prefect of Jinling.

He also wanted to install someone in the Jinling Yamen, but no matter who was sent, he would be assimilated in the end.

But what if it's an outsider?

Meng Yang took the lead in donating money this time and rewarded him as an imperial merchant, and gave him an official position that seemed unimportant but could actually understand the various incomes of Jinling, so that he could use it for his own use.

Even if Meng Yang does not do his best, he will not disobey him if he has this relationship with the Xu family.

Thinking of this, the emperor spoke, "Huang De, go..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the dark sky outside and remembered that it was already evening, so he changed his words, "After the morning court tomorrow, you go and invite the old man here."

Eunuch Huang should be.

The next day after the emperor finished morning court, he came to the Xu family.

Song Wanyue and Meng Jiao were about to go to the Meng yard when they saw Uncle Xu leading Eunuch Huang over and hurriedly saluting, "I have met Eunuch Huang."

When Meng Jiao heard her calling "Father-in-law", she was shocked and quickly saluted.

Eunuch Huang hurriedly helped him, "Miss Song is exempt from gifts."

The two stood upright.

Meng Jiao was very curious whether Eunuch Huang had no beard as the legendary one, but she didn't dare to look at it blatantly, just raised her head a little and rolled her eyes as much as possible.

Eunuch Huang didn't care about her, so naturally he didn't see her actions. He smiled and said, "I came to invite the old man on the order of the emperor."

Song Wanyue pulled Meng Jiao back a few steps.

Eunuch Huang passed by them and kept looking at Song Wanyue from the corner of his eyes.

He didn't understand how such a young girl had a brain, but she just went to the south and brought back a profitable business.
