Because of their status as Imperial Concubines, the Yang sisters were very proud of themselves in the Tang Empire. Even their servants could point fingers at the officials of the Tang Empire. They were very imposing. However, Li An was also favored by the Emperor and had a high status in the Tang Empire. In fact, his status was not lower than that of the Yang sisters. After all, the Yang sisters were just people who got their wealth because of the Emperor's love for the house, while Li An got his status with his own ability. The Tang Empire could do without the Yang sisters, but it couldn't do without Li An. The Emperor was very clear about who was more important. Therefore, the Yang sisters could only be arrogant in front of ordinary people and minor officials, but they were quite respectful in front of Li An.
Aside from not having confidence in her third sister, Yang Yu Rou also had her own selfish motives. For such an outstanding man like Li An, she naturally didn't want to share him with others. Even if it was her own sister, she wasn't willing to share him.
They were all sisters. How could Madam Qin not know her sister's thoughts? She knew that Yang Yurou didn't want to share the good things with her, so she deliberately said that. What did she mean by seven or eight years old? It was just an excuse. The difference of a few years was nothing at all.
"Sixteen years old? My good little sister must be thinking of herself as a sixteen year old little girl! You should know that you are not much younger than me. You are also an old person. "
Madam of Great Qin said unhappily.
"Well, one year is still young. I'm just younger than you."
"Well, well, don't argue about being young. You are all younger than me. Let's talk about the workshop now! This is the main point. Third sister, don't make trouble. Since Eighth sister can deal with Assistant Minister Li, let her go alone. Let's do other things! "
Madam Qin said.
"Eldest sister is right. Let's share the profits equally. I am responsible for dealing with Ang Lee. You are responsible for the workshop. Let's work together. In this way, the Yang family will become richer and richer."
Yang Yurou said.
"Eighth sister, you are really good at thinking. You do all the good things alone and let us do the hard work."
"It's just a joke. However, you guys have to be more responsible for the workshop."
"Alright, we must get this industry as soon as possible. As for the battery workshop, I think we shouldn't fight for it. If we split the technology among the three companies, we still have to spend money to compete. Let's just leave it to others! We don't have that much money to do so many things at once. "
The three of them discussed for a long time, and the basic strategy was already out. The only thing left was the details. In order to prevent this matter from being discovered, the Yang sisters kept it a secret. Even Yang Guozhong was not informed. They no longer supported Yang Guozhong to compete for the battery workshop, which made Yang Guozhong quite unhappy. He was so angry that he couldn't sleep at night, but he could only vent his anger on the servants at home.
The next morning, Ang Lee's wives, along with the maids, workers, and some guards, went to the mountains to continue collecting wildflowers. Some of the servants in Yang Yurou's residence also went to help.
Li Longji had government affairs to deal with, and the ministers were also busy. Only Ang Lee had nothing to do. He took a bottle of begonia perfume that he had painstakingly refined and went to the Imperial Palace to find the Imperial Concubine. He was prepared to personally present it to her.
This time, Yang Yuhuan did not summon Ang Lee to her bedroom. If this happened every time, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. In addition, Ang Lee wore more clothes than last time. However, she still dressed as usual. She did not wear too many gold and silver jewelry, nor did she wear a phoenix coronet. Her neckline was also higher than yesterday, which made Ang Lee somewhat disappointed.
"How is it? Did you really make the begonia perfume?"
When Yang Yuhuan saw Ang Lee, she seemed rather excited. After all, it was not easy to make the begonia perfume. The more elegant the fragrance of the flower, the more difficult it was to make it into perfume. After all, the content was too low. It required a large amount to make just a little bit.
Li An nodded and said, "Yes, Imperial Consort. After a night of unremitting efforts, this humble subject finally managed to produce the Begonia perfume. However, the fragrance of the Begonia flowers is too little. Three hundred female workers worked hard for a day to pick the Begonia flowers and only managed to extract a small bottle of Begonia perfume. This is more than ten times more precious than the chrysanthemum perfume. This humble subject has brought it to you."
After saying that, he handed the small bottle to the palace maid beside him. Then, the palace maid handed it over very carefully.
"Pu pu …"
Yang Yuhuan gently pressed the lid on the glass bottle. Suddenly, a fragrance gushed out.
However, because the begonia flower itself was extremely elegant, even if it was made into perfume, the fragrance it emitted could not be compared with the chrysanthemum. It was several orders of magnitude worse. However, this simple and elegant gentle fragrance was like the body fragrance of a young girl. It made people obsessed and crazy.
"Not bad, this is what I like. It's just right. It's really hard on you."
Yang Yuhuan seemed very happy and sprayed a few more times on her body.
Ang Lee discovered that this morning, Yang Yuhuan did not put on makeup. In other words, she did not apply any facial products. She simply combed her hair. There were very few decorations on her head, only a few simple ones.
After all, she was also a little old. Ang Lee could see some flaws on Yang Yuhuan's face, which were some relatively dim spots. In fact, it did not affect the beauty. She only needed to apply a little skincare product.
Although it was morning, Yang Yuhuan still had time to put on makeup. Why did she run out to meet people without makeup? According to Ang Lee's understanding, many women who loved to be beautiful would never meet people easily when they were without makeup. They would only go out to meet people after putting on makeup.
Many people had seen women for decades, but they had never seen what they looked like after removing makeup. Even the people close to them did not know. There were even more serious situations, that was, the husband and wife had lived together for a long time, but the husband did not know what his wife looked like without makeup. This was really strange, but such a thing happened.
In order to be able to hide it from her husband, these women would sleep later than her husband. After her husband fell asleep, she would remove her makeup and sleep. The next morning, she would also wake up earlier than her husband and put on makeup in advance. When her husband woke up, he would see a beautiful wife with makeup.
In other words, women liked to put on makeup before meeting people to leave a good impression, but Yang Yuhuan actually did the opposite. This seemed a bit strange. However, Ang Lee quickly understood that this was because Yang Yuhuan was too confident. She had enough confidence in her bare face. She believed that with her bare face, it was enough to make men feel beautiful. Makeup was really superfluous. Even she would think that it was makeup that covered her natural beauty, so that her natural beauty could not be better displayed.
After careful observation, Ang Lee also discovered that Yang Yuhuan's appearance without makeup was really beautiful. It was a kind of beauty that made people feel close to her. The feeling after makeup was not like this. It was a completely different kind of beauty. It could be called the beauty of a goddess. It was unreachable and had a sense of distance.
The girl-next-door was a feeling that people liked very much. And Yang Yuhuan's appearance without makeup was very much like the girl-next-door. It reminded people of their childhood.
Thinking of this, Ang Lee suddenly understood Yang Yuhuan's intention. She wanted to close the distance and show her bare face to others. This was full trust in others. This meant that Yang Yuhuan had full trust in Ang Lee and wanted to close the distance between her and Ang Lee.
Understanding Yang Yuhuan's deep intentions, Ang Lee was very happy. This was a sense of accomplishment, a sense of accomplishment that made people very happy.
"Imperial Concubine, regarding the technology and operation of the perfume workshop, I have already made a detailed plan. It is all drawn on the drawings. Imperial Concubine, please take a look."
As Ang Lee spoke, he took out the drawings of the perfume manufacturing technology from his bosom and personally handed them to Yang Yuhuan. After all, this was a secret. The fewer people who knew, the better. Even the imperial concubine's palace maids could not know.
How could Yang Yuhuan understand the drawings of these laboratory instruments, as well as the many chemical materials and chemical equations? She felt a headache just looking at them. It was completely like reading a heavenly book. Basically, she could not understand a thing.
"Assistant Minister Li, this consort does not understand. Come and teach me!"
Yang Yuhuan requested.
"Imperial Concubine, these are all confidential technology. If unrelated people secretly learn it, it would not be good."
Ang Lee reminded.
Yang Yuhuan understood and looked at the palace maids on both sides. She said, "Go and wait outside the pavilion. You are not allowed to eavesdrop on the confidential technology. Otherwise, if something happens to the Yang family's perfume workshop, you will be punished."
"Yes, Imperial Concubine."
The palace maids obediently left the pavilion and stood a distance of about twenty to thirty steps away from the pavilion. As long as Ang Lee and Yang Yuhuan's conversation was not very loud, they would not be able to hear the content.
Since the palace maids had been sent away, Ang Lee boldly walked up to Yang Yuhuan's side and stood to wait on her.
However, Yang Yuhuan's collar was a little high today and he could not see anything. Ang Lee tried several times but to no avail. Basically, he could only see a small piece of bitter cold land north of the Arctic Circle. It was a little useless.
"Assistant Minister Li, sit down! It's the same if you stand. "
Yang Yuhuan smiled faintly and glanced at Ang Lee. She had already seen Ang Lee's peeping eyes from the corner of her eyes. She had purposely raised her collar today. If she showed it to others so casually, wouldn't it seem too unrestrained? Wouldn't it lack a bit of shyness and innocence? Her charm would also decrease.
In addition, it was said that the things that could not be obtained were the best. Similarly, the spring scenery that could not be seen was the best spring scenery. If it was too easy for others to see, then it would not be valuable. Yang Yuhuan was well versed in this. If not, she would not have been able to charm the Emperor.
"Then, many thanks to Imperial Concubine."
Ang Lee also felt that looking at the bitter cold land of the Arctic Circle was boring. He might as well sit down and slowly have a heart-to-heart talk with Yang Yuhuan. This way, the effect would naturally be better and more equal.
"Assistant Minister Li, what are these things! Why haven't I seen them before? "
Yang Yuhuan pointed to the laboratory equipment in the picture and asked with a smile.
Ang Lee gently explained: "Answering Imperial Concubine, these are all laboratory equipment used for experiments. The research and development of perfume depends on these equipment. However, these equipment are too small. It is possible to make a little perfume, but if it is to be made on a large scale, these equipment will not work. We must design larger and more reliable equipment so that we can better meet the requirements."
"Oh, you still need to design new things. What are they?"
Yang Yuhuan's eyes were full of worship as she asked with a kind attitude.
"That is to enlarge these equipment, but we can't use glass. The effect of using metal is the best. This way, it will be more durable. There will be some differences in the appearance. I have drawn all these on the drawings. On the last few pages, Imperial Concubine, please take a look. These are the equipment."
Ang Lee said and turned a few pages of the information.
"Wow! There are really such things! "
Yang Yuhuan said happily. She looked at Ang Lee and asked curiously, "Assistant Minister Li, where did you learn these strange things? Why do you only know them when no one else knows them?"
Ang Lee was stunned for a moment and said, "Imperial Concubine, if I told you that I am not from the Tang dynasty, would you believe me?"
"If you are not from the Tang dynasty, then what is the era?"
Yang Yuhuan asked curiously.
Ang Lee said, "For example, Confucius was a sage in the Spring and Autumn Period. If Confucius suddenly came to the Tang dynasty and went to the palace to teach His Majesty, do you think it is possible?"
"Hahaha! Confucius went to the palace to teach His Majesty? How is that possible? Confucius has been dead for thousands of years. "
Yang Yuhuan said with a smile. She felt that Ang Lee was teasing her.
Ang Lee said seriously, "It seems that Imperial Concubine doesn't believe my origin. Confucius was a person from a thousand years ago, and I am a person from a thousand years later. Isn't it very scary?"
Saying that, I looked into Yang Yuhuan's eyes.
At first, Yang Yuhuan was really scared, but she soon felt that Ang Lee was teasing her, so she said with a smile, "This Concubine doesn't believe it. Assistant Minister Li is fine, so how could he come from a thousand years later? If that is the case, then Assistant Minister Li will know what happened later! "
Ang Lee smiled faintly and said, "The period after that has changed a lot. Since I came to the Tang dynasty, many periods have changed, so there is no way to know what will happen in the future."
"Puchi …"
