My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1227 - 1233: Get Ready to Take It On

"Not with your sister still around? I just want to quietly stay with you, bear you another child, and watch our children grow up together, growing old together too. That would be enough for me."

Yun Piaopiao’s words slightly moved Prince Liang’s heart; such sincerity was rare.

"This prince will grant your wish tonight. The wind is strong here; you should hurry inside, the Enfeoffment Ceremony is about to begin," Prince Liang whispered into Yun Piaopiao’s ear as he left a gentle kiss.

Yun Piaopiao blushed, yet her heart harbored a different scene.

As long as she firmly grasped his heart, and once he ascended the throne, she would be his Empress.

The grand Enfeoffment Banquet today was her first step.

That afternoon, the ceremony was the talk of the town.

"Have you heard? Today the Prince and Concubine Ping performed the marriage rites."

"What’s the big deal with that? I heard tomorrow he’ll parade with the new concubine through the streets; even the chief wife hasn’t received such honor!"

"I bet the chief wife’s days are numbered now!"

"Isn’t that obvious? The master says, ’A wife is inferior to a concubine, a concubine to a secret affair, and a secret affair to one that can’t be had!’"

When he finished, everyone laughed with ill intentions. It seemed even princes had the common man’s bad roots.

After that incident, it was firmly established that Prince Liang favored concubines over his wife.

A few days later, Tan Zhenghong had already agreed on a time with Fang Ying of the Water Cloud Gang; the venue was the Shang Xin Tower Qiao Duo was managing.

In a private room.

"Fang Leader, I’ve long admired your reputation," Qiao Duo’er greeted Fang Ying with a bow.

Fang Ying frowned slightly, "You’re the owner of Duo Meifang?"

How could it be a woman?

And Tan Zhenghong, who had arranged the meeting, was standing protectively behind this woman.

If it weren’t for Tan Zhenghong’s official position, he might have walked out then and there.

Qiao Duo’er caught Fang Ying’s displeasure but didn’t show any on her face, only generously admitting it.

"Indeed, why don’t you first look at a few items, Fang Leader?"

At the right moment, a young woman placed a tray on the table with two rows of wooden boxes, all new products.

Fang Ying, a man not versed in makeup, was uninterested, but knowing Duo Meifang was in this business, he came prepared.

The woman In Charge behind him examined each box, her eyes filled with amazement.

"Duo Meifang truly lives up to its reputation."

Qiao Duo’er smiled slightly, remembering her initial days of isolation from the outside world, where these beauty-loving girls could only create skincare products themselves using various secret recipes.

Thus, she was full of confidence in her products.

"But I heard Prince Liang has a Perfume Master who is extremely sensitive to fragrances; once these products hit the market, it won’t take long before there are imitations," Fang Ying bluntly stated.

If this issue wasn’t resolved, having good products at Duo Meifang would be useless.

He was a businessman; he wouldn’t engage in a business that only benefitted others.

"Yan Meige is indeed formidable, but till now, they haven’t replicated Duo Meifang’s Peach Red Drunk. Guess why?"

Qiao Duo’er raised her eyebrows, having come fully prepared to meet with Fang Ying.

Fang Ying said disinterestedly, "I’m all ears."

He didn’t hold much hope for this matter but listening wouldn’t cause any harm.

It was also a favor to Tan Zhenghong.

Qiao Duo’er revealed her trump card: "Because she’s allergic to peach scent. Even the slightest amount makes her restless and agitated, let alone analyzing its components."

Fang Ying inhaled; indeed, a faint peach scent lingered in the air.

"What’s your confidence level?"
