Chapter 903 Jealous Wives

All the ladies present were from noble families. They were familiar with all kinds of incenses and perfumed powders. But when they heard Yun Shang's words, they became interested.

Yun Shang smiled and clapped her hands. A woman in a moon-white robe slowly walked in with a tray in her hand. The woman's face was covered by the veil, but her slender and soft waist was enough to make other women envious. The woman's eyes were somewhat cold. She walked into the pavilion and bowed. Then she sat down at the table carved by the tree root in the pavilion and laid the tray on the table. In the tray, there were a few ice blocks, some glass, several pieces of aromatic substance, and a candle.

The woman took a piece of ice, melted it in her palm, and poured the water to a glass. Then she took a piece of aromatic substance, gently broke a small part from it and put it into the water melted by the ice.

After that, the woman took out the candle, lit it with a fire starter, and heat the glass on the candle.

After a short while, a delicate fragrance came out. It was like the smell of lotus, but it was a little colder than the lotus. It was like an elegant but cold beauty. However, this kind of coldness made people more curious about her and want to have a closer look.

"It's said a lady is like a flower. Before a man gets her, she is like snow lotus blooming on the snowy mountain, looking beautiful and a little bit aloof, and smelling fragrant. The men can't help but want to pick it." The woman's voice was as euphemistic and beautiful as the yellow warbler in March.

The candlelight grew brighter, and the woman threw another small piece of aromatic substance into it. "When a man get the woman, she will be like an elegant peony raised in the backyard. It's dignified, gentle and generous, and the fragrance is getting stronger and stronger..."

As saying, the fragrance in the pavilion became stronger.

"If there is some refreshing plum blossom, enchanting evening primrose, or some elegant and beautiful lotus flower, then the peony will gradually make people feel vulgar."

Then, the water in the glass suddenly lit up, and all the fragrance gradually dimmed in an instant, leaving only a trace of the smell.

"Later, it might be burned out like this incense, leaving only a faint scent."

The woman bowed to the crowd and stepped aside.

No one spoke for a long time. Yun Shang smiled and said, "The banquet and the performance are arranged by me in person. I arranged this because His majesty always wanted to send women to the Crown Prince's mansion some time ago. It's said that women need to be virtuous and tolerant, not to mention that I'm the Crown Princess."

Yun Shang laughed coldly. "But I don't want to be tolerant. No woman wants to share her husband with other women. Even if people say that she is jealous, so what? A woman's happiness could only be grasped in her own hands. If a woman had to compromise, then

ich are many officials in the court. The guests I serve are chosen by Miss Qian Qian. Up until now, there are only a bachelor of the Imperial Hanlin Academy and an imperial censor from the Censorate. And I just need to play Guqin for then and play chess with them.

Yun Shang nodded slightly. Since Ning Qian arranged it, she must have a point. So Yun Shang didn't ask any more. She smiled and said, "That's good. A real beauty should keep mysterious. From now on, there will be some people who come to you in private. You can find a way to get along well with these ladies. Whatever they want to learn, just teach them."

Qing Han replied softly. After chatting with her for a while, Yun Shang asked her to go back to Ning Qian. After returning to the South Yard, Yun Shang felt a little tired. She lay on the bench, rubbed her forehead and said softly, "I really can't handle such a banquet. Those ladies are all smart. It's really difficult to deal with them."

Qin Yi smiled and walked to Yun Shang. She reached out to help Yun Shang rub her temples. Then she went down a little and pinched her shoulder. "But I'm afraid they can't fall asleep after they return home today. They might not accept Your Highness's words for a moment as they were always so proud. But I'm afraid they can't sit still when they look at the beauties who compete with them for their husbands' favor.

Yun Shang smiled, "That's what I want. It's time to stir the noble households in the Jin City. Although these ladies only care about dressing and making up, if we could take a good use of them, we could get a lot. This is what Lady Hua Guo taught me."

Hearing this, Qin Yi smiled and said, "Lady Hua Guo is a really wise women. Lord Hua Guo is powerful and influential. Though he is quick-tempered and always complained about Lady Hua Guo, but he has only married Lady Hua Guo in his life. We could see how awesome Lady Hua Guo is."

Yun Shang nodded and chuckled, "You are right."
