"Oh my little Crown Princess, at noon, your old servant re-tailored this gown. How can you not try it on?" With a lively voice came a rush of fragrant air.
"Achoo, achoo." The little Crown Princess sneezed twice expressionlessly, then unhappily covered her nose and looked at the plump, middle-aged woman with a graceful figure.
The woman wore a vibrant red dress with butterfly sleeves and a tight waist, painted with red and green, looking rather alluring.
The moment this character entered, she tried to pull at the little Crown Princess's collar, but the little Crown Princess expressionlessly "slapped" her hand away.
"Why did you change your perfume again?"
Madam Bu Er looked slightly aggrieved. "Didn't you say the morning perfume didn't smell good?"
"Achoo!" The little Crown Princess covered her nose and repeatedly backed away several steps. "But this scent of yours is even stronger!"
"So fragrant, how is it strong?" Madam Bu Er raised her arm, vigorously sniffed the scent on herself, and then showed a look of intoxication. "So fragrant."
Master Qiao Qiao stared at her blankly, then retreated further.
Madam Bu Er immediately said, dissatisfied, "Little Crown Princess, this is perfume I bought at the Scented Pavilion. It costs a thousand taels of gold for just a small amount."
The little Crown Princess raised an eyebrow, looking at her noncommittally. "It doesn't smell good. Can't you smell that pungent odor?"
Madam Bu Er shook her head in confusion.
She couldn't smell it!
At this moment, Aunt Jing, who had respectfully entered, bowed and said, "Crown Princess, Madam Mu, the First Branch's Madam, has sent a calling card from outside the palace. She wishes to see you."
The little Crown Princess paused slightly, then looked up at Madam Bu Er, who was standing nearby, sniffing her own sleeve.
This character was truly vulgar...
"I'm busy right now, tell her to go back," Qiao Mu said indifferently.
She had only been back for less than half a day, and the Mu family had already sent someone. Their intelligence network was quite efficient.
"Madam Bu Er."
"Yes, yes, Little Crown Princess, what are your orders?" Madam Bu Er heard her call out and immediately came over with a smile.
"Achoo!" The little Crown Princess pushed her face away and said with a serious expression, "Go wash off that scent from your body. I'll give you a new type of fragrant mist."
Madam Bu Er had heard that the little Crown Princess was good at business, but she never expected her to do business with her?
While curious, Madam Bu Er obediently went to wash off the perfume scent from her body.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, when she came out again, the little Crown Princess found this character much more pleasing to the eye.
Not only were the messy colors on her face washed away, but the scent on her body also became fresh and clean.
The little Crown Princess took out a small box from her inner realm and handed it to her. "Try this."
Madam Bu Er instructed two maids to neatly arrange her clothes to one side, then stepped forward with a smile, taking the small wooden box handed to her by the little Crown Princess.
Flipping open the lid, she saw a silk handkerchief folded inside.
The handkerchief was of particularly good quality, but a crooked little black lotus flower was embroidered on one corner, making it look especially ugly...
Madam Bu Er wondered what kind of taste the little Crown Princess had. Few people would embroider such an ugly lotus on such a high-quality silk handkerchief!
Seeing her愣 for a moment, the little Crown Princess reached out, took the silk handkerchief from the box, and with a flick of her small hand, waved it in front of Madam Bu Er.
Madam Bu Er immediately caught a wisp of faint, subtle fragrance wafting towards her.
That scent, while invigorating, was indescribably clear and serene, like an evening breeze caressing one's face illuminated by the morning glow, making her involuntarily take a deep breath.
