After Ye Tinghua returned from the Golden Silk Embroidery Workshop, he immediately ordered people to find the best perfumers in Kyoto City to come to the palace. At this time, the Third Prince was lying on a beauty couch, and he was not satisfied with the incense made by several perfumers according to his description.

"Useless! All useless! You can't even make a perfume! What kind of perfumer are you? Just go back to your hometown and farm!"

The other perfume makers were so frightened by the scene that they dared not speak. Only one of the younger ones dared to speak up, "Your Highness, your description is too unreal. We have added orange blossom, cedar, oak, nard, and sandalwood according to your description, but the prince is not satisfied. Where can the prince smell this fragrance? Why don't we find this fragrance and copy it by smelling it."

After hearing this, Ye Tinghua sat up from the beauty couch, picked up his folding fan and gestured, "I will teach you again. It's the feeling of a cool and gentle mountain flower appearing after the rain in the empty mountains. Do you understand?"

The perfumers kneeling below shook their heads and replied in unison, "Your Highness, I don't understand."

After hearing this, Ye Tinghua anxiously opened his folding fan and fanned himself while saying, "Have you never smelled the scent of a forest after a winter rain?"

Everyone looked at each other, then shook their heads and replied, "No."

Ye Tinghua stood up and picked up his folding fan, fanning them, saying, "All of you close your eyes. Imagine that it is very cold now. After a heavy rain, you all come to the forest together. Take a deep breath at this moment and imagine the air in the forest at this moment. It is mixed with coldness and the smell of pine trees. At this time, walk forward and see a flower. Take a deep breath again and imagine the smell of this flower. The fragrance of this flower smells very gentle, but the gentleness is mixed with coldness. Now do you understand what this king wants?"

At this time, everyone opened their eyes, but their eyes became even more confused. As soon as Ye Tinghua saw the expressions on their faces, he realized that they still didn't understand what he wanted.

Just as he was about to get angry, the servant Du Song beside him whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, you might as well tell them directly to find a way to make the perfume that Miss Lin used."

After hearing this, Ye Tinghua glared at him. Du Song was so scared that he didn't dare to speak, fearing that Ye Tinghua would kick him in the next second. After all, he knew his own prince's temper best.

Ye Tinghua coughed dryly a few times, and the perfumers kneeling below were so anxious that their hearts were about to jump out of their chests, fearing that this prince would kill them if he was in a bad mood.

After a long while, Ye Tinghua said awkwardly, "What I want is the incense that the Second Miss of Pingnan Marquis's Mansion used today. You must mix it for me today, and you must not let the Second Miss know."

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and thought to themselves, "So that's how it is. The Third Prince should have just said it clearly earlier. It's such a simple matter. He kept it a mystery for so long and almost scared them to death."

The perfumer kneeling below immediately kowtowed with a smile and said, "I obey your command. I will take my leave."

After everyone left, Ye Tinghua kicked Du Song beside him and asked, "Were they laughing at me just now?"

Du Song quickly comforted him, "To answer your Highness, they dare not. They must be grateful to your Highness for pointing them in the right direction."

Du Song was also very confused. What happened to his prince today? Why did he become weird after coming back from outside?

At this time, Ye Tinghua's secret guard suddenly appeared and reported, "Your Highness, there have been unusual movements of victims leaving the city recently. The food in the city has run out. I'm afraid that if we don't release them into Kyoto today, many people will starve to death. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

Ye Tinghua thought of Lin Qingyao's promise to him, took a deep breath, and said, "People are going to die, why are you still asking about this kind of thing! Go and release them! Also notify the people at the city gate to be ready!"

The secret guards immediately dodged after hearing this. Ye Tinghua kicked Du Song who was standing beside him and said, "Go! Go to Pingnan Marquis' Mansion and ask Lin Qingyao for the 100,000 dan of grain!"

After Lin Qingyao returned home, Shen came up to her and said, "Yao'er, mother has already taken care of the matter. After this is done, you must ask the Third Prince to help mother redeem the things! This is mother's last living money, mother gave it all to you!"

When Lin Qingyao thought that if this matter was done, the Third Prince would agree to ask the Emperor for permission to grant them marriage, and she would soon become the Third Prince's consort. Once she became the Third Prince's consort, she would definitely ask the Third Prince to get her a few more pieces of white fox fur that were better than the one Lin Qingye was wearing today.

Lin Qingyao was in a good mood for a moment, and quickly agreed to Shen and said, "Don't worry, mother, after this matter is done, your daughter will become the consort of the third prince! This little thing is nothing, I will buy you something better when the time comes!"

Lin Qingye had just returned home. After leaving the Jinsi Embroidery Workshop, she took Cuixi to a teahouse outside to eat something. She came back with Cuixi only after they were full.

After all, Cui Xi was slapped by Lin Qingyao for no reason today, and she couldn't help Cui Xi pay it back for the time being. She could only take her to eat something delicious and comfort Cui Xi's mood. After all, what Lin Qingyao owed her could not be repaid with a slap.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Lin Qing did not go directly back to his own courtyard. Instead, he carried the packed snacks to Nan Mingyu's courtyard to find Nan Mingyu.

It was time for Lin Qing to let her mother know some things. She could not allow the things that happened in her previous life to happen again. So even if she could not take her mother away from the man-eating Pingnan Marquis Mansion, she had to let her mother take precautions against the jackals, tigers and leopards in the mansion as soon as possible.

Lin Qing had just entered Nan Mingyu's yard and saw Nan Mingyu fiddling with the herbs she had dried in the yard.

Nan Mingyu saw Lin Qingye and Cuixi coming in with food boxes, and she wiped her hands happily and said, "Bao'er, how come you have time to come and see your aunt today?"

Lin Qingye has lived alone in a courtyard since she was a child. Originally, Lin Qingye was registered under Shen's name and lived with Shen, but Shen was unwilling. She also did not want Lin Qingye to grow up with Nan Mingyu, fearing that she would get close to Nan Mingyu when she grew up. So she opened up a remote courtyard in the mansion and threw Lin Qingye in, under the pretext of cultivating her independence from an early age.

Lin Qing also looked at Nan Mingyu who was smiling at her. Although she was a little older, her eyes were still as pure as a girl's. Her mother was too naive, which was why she was eaten to the bone by this cannibalistic marquis's mansion in her previous life.

Lin Qing also secretly sighed in his heart, then he personally opened the food box, took out a piece of Nan Mingyu's favorite almond cake and fed it to her mouth. Nan Mingyu smiled, opened her mouth and took a bite and said, "Bao'er still cares about me."
