My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"The eldest princess?"

Helian Zhaoyue's face clearly showed a strange expression upon hearing this.

He thought of the eldest princess he had met in the imperial court.

However, at that time, she only saw him in the imperial court and did not have a chance to speak with him.

Moreover, she had naturally heard of this princess before coming here, and knew quite a bit about her from various aspects.

It is said that this princess was exceptionally intelligent from a young age, and the late Emperor of the Great Hua Dynasty intended to pass the throne to her.

Unfortunately, the eldest princess was still young at the time, which ultimately allowed Xiao Jinxuan to ascend the throne.

Of course, no one can be sure whether this is true or false.

However, this rumor alone is enough to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of this princess.

Jiang Xiaobai sat not far away, but his expression was somewhat strange.

Looking for the eldest princess?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but glance behind him.

Yes, the person is standing right here!

Thinking about this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but chuckle.

Tang Ningshuang had obviously thought of this as well.

His gaze involuntarily drifted towards the eldest princess, his expression also somewhat strange.

As for the princess herself, her face was covered by a bamboo hat, so her expression was not visible.

She simply stood there quietly, as if the people were not talking about her at all.

"If that's the case!"

Helian Zhaoyue looked at Xiao Qingxiu again and smiled, "Then I would be grateful if Your Highness would have the opportunity to introduce me to him!"

"Let me see what kind of charm this is, the number one beauty of Dahua!"

After speaking, Helian Zhaoyue's expression flickered slightly.

Princess Xiao Yunshu was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital.

When she met the princess in the imperial court, the princess was wearing a veil, so she did not see her face clearly.

But since she's hailed as the most beautiful woman, she believes she can't be too bad.

"Of course, of course."

Xiao Qingxiu nodded with a smile.

"Young Prince!"

Helian Zhaoyue spoke up, "In that case, let's set aside the matter of the Hidden Edge Token for now and talk about the border town issue!"

Helian Zhaoyue paused, then continued, "I've heard that the young prince is the head of the Yipinlou restaurant in the capital?"

"right!"

Xiao Qingxiu's expression clearly showed a hint of pride: "Thanks to the support of the major merchants in the capital, I just took over as head of the association three years ago!"

"As far as I know..."

Helian Zhaoyue chuckled softly after hearing this: "Young Prince, your position as head of the association wasn't just something others promoted you to, was it?"

"I've heard that the young prince's businesses practically monopolize the perfumes used by women in the capital?"

"hehe!"

Xiao Qingxiu smiled faintly.

Although he didn't admit it immediately, the smugness in his eyes was very obvious.

"The princess is certainly well-informed!"

"This perfume balm was indeed developed by one of my businesses!"

Xiao Qingxiu picked up his teacup and took a small sip: "Moreover, it uses a completely new technique!"

"Both the fragrance and the fineness of the product far surpass those of ordinary perfume balms!"

At this point, Xiao Qingxiu put down his teacup and smiled, "Let's put it this way, if our perfume is second to none..."

"Then, in the entire Greater China region, no one would dare claim to be number one!"

Upon hearing this, Helian Zhaoyue's eyes brightened.

Women are inherently drawn to perfumes and balms.

Moreover, there are also many noblewomen in Beiyu.

If this item is truly so good, it could be introduced to Beiyu after the border market opens.

"and!"

Xiao Qingxiu paused slightly, his confidence deepening: "This skill was developed by my subordinates after a long period of research!"

"I can guarantee that no one will be able to surpass me within the next hundred years!"

"So confident?"

Helian Zhaoyue was clearly somewhat surprised.

"nature!"

Xiao Qingxiu smiled and nodded: "If the princess wishes, I can offer Bei Yu my utmost sincerity once the border market opens!"

"We can also offer discounts on prices!"

"Alright, then this princess might consider it!"

Helian Zhaoyue smiled.

"Oh, right!"

Xiao Qingxiu seemed to suddenly remember something, and glanced at Jiang Xiaobai intentionally or unintentionally, saying casually, "My business is preparing to start another business recently!"

"Oh?"

Helian Zhaoyue looked at Xiao Qingxiu: "What kind of business?"

"Alcohol!"

Xiao Qingxiu spoke with a smile.

Ok?

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Xiao Qingxiu's lips curled into a smile as he continued, "Moreover, I can guarantee that the drinks our company will be offering next will be far superior to some of those forced-to-buy drinks..."

At this point, Xiao Qingxiu deliberately glanced at Jiang Xiaobai: "Stronger, and tastes even better!"

"Most importantly, the price will be even more affordable!!"

"Really?"

Helian Zhaoyue's eyes brightened slightly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes slightly.

They were practically pointing their fingers at him!

That's right, their Zhenbei Marquis's... no, it should be Zhenguo Duke's mansion's liquor business is now fully operational.

Although he didn't pay much attention to it later, Zhang Xinnian continued to lay the groundwork.

Nowadays, many restaurants in Beijing are already using their wine.

The profits are naturally very considerable.

Moreover, with this money, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion will have more confidence should the northern border ever need anything.

Now that Xiao Qingxiu has suddenly intervened, it's clear he's trying to tear a piece of flesh from their hands!

only……

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Xiao Qingxiu's confident appearance and felt a little doubtful.

Where does this guy get such confidence?

Is it stronger and tastier than his liquor?

His liquor is made using modern distillation technology!

Could it be...?

Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of something.

But after thinking about it for a moment, Jiang Xiaobai felt it was unlikely.

Perhaps... Xiao Qingxiu has just come up with some new brewing method.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Xiao Qingxiu and bluntly said, "It seems that the young prince is here for me!"

"Hehe, you can't say that!"

Xiao Qingxiu smiled faintly, "Normal business competition is fair. It can't be that only your Jiang family is allowed to do the liquor business, and others aren't allowed to!"

"But there's no such logic in the world!"

At this point, Xiao Qingxiu's lips curled up again, "If Young Master Jiang is not satisfied, he can always try his hand at selling perfume!"

"Don't worry, I definitely won't be jealous, and I certainly won't...get angry!"

After saying that, Xiao Qingxiu burst into laughter again.

"Since we've come this far..."

Jiang Xiaobai said, "Then this young master will also go into the business of selling perfume balms!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingxiu laughed even louder, leaning back as he did so.

After a long while, Xiao Qingxiu looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said with a mocking tone, "Jiang Xiaobai, if you really go into the perfume business, I'll be looking forward to it!"

That's right, he's been in the perfume business for many years!

Not only in the capital, but also in many surrounding towns, most of the perfumes used were produced by his businesses.

Moreover, they used a completely new production technique.

Jiang Xiaobai, someone who has just started his liquor business, wants to jump into the perfume industry with just one idea?!

In his view, this was utterly ridiculous and incredibly stupid!

Moreover, if Jiang Xiaobai really goes into the perfume business, he probably won't even know how he died in the end!

After all, perfumes consume money very quickly, and even if they are produced, they may not satisfy the market.

In the end, all that's left is to waste money for no reason.

Therefore, he actually hoped that Jiang Xiaobai could get involved.

That's what makes it more interesting, isn't it?
