In a small courtyard on the west side of Fragrant Garden, Concubine Su was staring at a paper that was spread out in front of him.

The maidservant, Liusu, looked around for a while and could not help but ask, "Aunt, what did you see?"

Concubine Su shook his head. After looking at it for a long time, he was indeed unable to see through any of them. It was as if the paper did not contain any profound mysteries.

"Seems somewhat familiar." Concubine Su muttered to himself.

Even though she was an aunt, she was an expert at poetry and painting. If it wasn't for her family falling into a trap, she wouldn't have entered the Ye's Mansion as a concubine. However, even with her eyesight, she could only barely make out the scenery.

The other servant girl tilted her head, pointing at a certain part of the painting, "Aunt, do you think this looks like the Eastern River? Isn't it a river lamp? "

Concubine Su's eyes lit up, and when she looked again, it was true!

"Is this Yin Zhou City? Why did she draw the Yin Zhou City? "You won't just idle around and waste your time, right?" Just as he was guessing, Concubine Su's eyes suddenly froze, he stopped somewhere in the art studio, and his hand suddenly clenched tightly.

"Quick, call Aunt Liu over!"

… ….

At the same time, Ye Yuning finished her meal with Lady Wen. The two talked for a long while, until Lady Wen took a rest before coming out. Once they returned to the small courtyard, Fei Qing quietly walked behind her and said in a low voice: "Miss, the painting was taken away."

After realizing what had happened, he pursed his lips and said with an extremely happy mood: "Let them go find us!"

That picture was naturally intentional on her part, to mislead Concubine Su and the others.

With the old mistress' silent permission, the mother and daughter must have been extremely arrogant recently. She didn't want to face multiple enemies at the same time, so she first wanted to get the two busy for a while, and then take care of them.

"I wonder if they will really find that place?" If that's really the case, then there will be a good show to watch. " Ye Yuning quickly put this matter aside and ignored his.

Her chilliness had only lasted for three days and had completely recovered. After that, she followed Lady Wen in the carriage to the Han Mountain Fragrance Market. Ever since she made an agreement with Master Qian, this was the second time Ye Yuning had studied incense. Last time, Master Qian did not teach him how to make incense.

The ingredients used to make the incense were all very complicated. Every raw material had its own characteristics. Only by completely understanding these characteristics would one be able to begin making the incense. Ye Yuning spent a few days at home, memorizing the book that Master Qian had given him.

In the workshop's backyard, Master Qian ordered people to take out wooden boxes, and indicated for Ye Yuning to come forward.

"Find some of the spices I'm talking about here."

Ye Yuning nodded, she picked up the wooden box and observed it carefully, then went closer to take a sniff. Her sense of smell was extremely sharp, perhaps because she had inherited the good points of the Lady Wen Clan.

Master Qian saw that the spice Ye Yuning found was accurate and was extremely satisfied. He also asked her a lot of questions, which Ye Yuning answered one by one.

"Indeed, he has the blood of the Wen Family. His talent is extraordinary." Master Qian thought.

Ye Yuning herself also realized that her memory after her rebirth was much better than before, to the point that she had almost reached the state of photographic memory.

"Understanding the characteristics of the raw materials is only the first step. Next, we have to know that these raw materials are compatible with each other." Master Qian picked up a pinch of lilac powder and explained in detail.

Incense is similar to pharmaceuticals, and many ingredients can be used in the same way. The herbs were compatible with each other or repelling each other, and spices were the same. How to use the compatibility between the spices to mix different kinds of incense, this is a very deep knowledge.

Ye Yuning was so immersed in listening to her that she forgot the time. It was only now that she understood many of the questions in the Fragrance.

In the process of making the incense, the amount of raw materials used, the sequence of ingredients used, were all extremely important. Even if a small mistake was made, the incense produced would still be completely different.

Ye Yuning stayed in the perfume shop for an entire day, and did not return to her residence until the time of her request.

Returning back to the house, Ye Yuning took out the Fragrance Tree and studied it carefully. Now she was really interested in making incense. Seeing her so unfocused, Fei Xiu and Fei Qing glanced at each other, then quietly left the room.

The sky gradually darkened, and a candle flame suddenly lit up within the room, illuminating the silence of the entire room. Ye Yuning raised her head and looked at her more closely, rubbing her eyes.

"So late? Fei Xiu? "

Fei Xiu answered, then pushed open the door and entered: What orders does young miss have?

Ye Yuning stood up and rubbed her waist, stretching her body: "Prepare some hot water, I want to take a bath."

Immersed in the warm water, Ye Yuning heaved a sigh of relief as she squinted her eyes. Pink petals floated on the surface of the water, carrying a faint fragrance that filled the whole room. As Ye Yuning breathed in the fragrance, she felt the fatigue from a day slowly dissipating.

Fei Xiu stood behind her and helped her wash the water. Looking at Ye Yuning's smooth and white back, she could not help but praise: "Miss's skin is like snow, it is the whitest white skin this servant has ever seen."

Ye Yuning's hands rested on the bathtub's edge, but hearing this she was startled. She recalled that when she married Fu Ranzhi in her previous life, he said the same thing to her on their wedding night.

At that time, she was only shy and happy, she had not thought about the deep meaning of these words, and used all her strength to throw these thoughts out of her mind. Ye Yuning pursed his lips and did not say a word.

Fei Xiu felt her emotions suddenly changed, and without saying more, she rubbed her back silently. After bathing and changing into bed clothes, Ye Yuning returned to her room, only to see a white glazed porcelain bowl on the table.

"This is Walnut Dew, Bai Yi made it. Fei Qing laughed as she held up the porcelain bowl.

Ye Yuning laughed and took the porcelain bowl for a taste.

"Bai Yi's cooking skills are indeed not bad. Her mind is completely focused on cooking these small meals." Ye Yuning laid on the side of the bed, with two servant girls helping him, they casually asked.

"If she enjoys it, the young miss will grant her wish!" Fei Qing held a comb in one hand, and a bunch of long hair in the other, as she carefully combed the cage.

Ye Yuning looked at the two maids.

Looking at Fei Xiu's calm face, Ye Yuning seemed to be deep in thought: "Fei Xiu, you are also sixteen this year, in two years you will be married off, I wonder how long you will be able to accompany me."

Ye Yuning was disappointed. Ye's Mansion's maids would usually be around seventeen or eighteen years old, and once they became a woman, they would not be able to casually enter or leave the palace.

Fei Xiu's face reddened, but she was still calm. She said indifferently: "Next year, Miss will begin discussing marriage, and at that time, you can bring a servant along! This servant will be the mistress's guest room. "

"It seems that Sister Fei Xiu has already planned everything!" Fei Qing chuckled, "Then young miss cannot abandon this slave servant. Big sister will be the concubine, I will be the concubine."

Although teasing was teasing, Ye Yuning started to plan in her heart. She did not want to marry Fei Xiu off to a servant of the Ye Family, and she could not drag her out until she got married.

Ye Yuning thought for a long time and realized that the only person she knew was Han Qing Xiang Fang.

"Tomorrow, let Mother send someone to ask if there are any suitable candidates."

His hair gradually dried, and Ye Yuning fell asleep quickly. The two maidservants blew out the candles and tiptoed out of the house.
