Chapter 109: The Master of Keeping Balance
Nan Zhiyu was unwell and very quiet. Jiang Yunxuan's servants were worried that she would get sick from boredom, so they tried to find ways to cheer her up.

Fuzhu and Xiaoguizi built a frame on the open space in front of the hall and made a small swing.

Qiu Cui and the other two urged her to try it. Nan Zhiyu didn't want to refuse them, so she sat on the swing curiously.

Qingdai pushed slowly and hard from behind, and the swing swung up and down.

Nan Zhiyu had a distinct feeling of weightlessness as if she was floating in the air at first, but gradually, she found that she was sitting on the swing like a bird that flew freely with the wind.

Fukutake and others gathered around, fearing that something might happen.

Seeing that Nan Zhiyu's grip on the swing was getting looser and looser, Fuzhu nervously stepped forward, grabbed Qingdai's hand, and shook his head to indicate.

"What's wrong?" Qingdai was pushing the cart very hard. After all, it was rare for the young lady to be so happy.

The swing was not large to begin with, and because there was no one pushing it from behind, it gradually stopped.

Nan Zhiyu tilted her head and looked at them curiously, "Why don't you continue pushing?"

Fuzhu quickly gave Lianyue a look, and she understood what he meant and said, "Eunuch Xiaogui just found that the rope of the swing was not very strong, and he was worried that the young lady would get hurt, so he stopped."

Xiao Guizi smiled and stepped forward to apologize, "It's all my fault that I didn't check carefully. Please punish me, my master."

Nan Zhiyu waved her hand, "You are so kind, there is no need to punish you."

Watching Yue Liangdi leaving, Qiu Cui approached and asked curiously: "What happened just now? Why did you suddenly ask Sister Qingdai to stop?"

Fuzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Just now, the young lady's grip on the rope was getting looser and looser, and I was so scared that my soul almost flew away."

Nan Zhiyu sat in the hall and thought, although they could quarrel, she couldn't let people forget about her.

She looked at the hollow sachet hanging on her bed curtain and an idea suddenly came to her mind.

"Qingdai, I remember there seemed to be several of these silver sachets before?"

Nan Zhiyu raised her finger and pointed. Qingdai thought for a few moments and said, "Before, I saw that the young lady liked them, so the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a small box. There are about a dozen in it."

Lian Yue went on to talk about the matching colors of the tassels, the decorative beads, and the knotting styles that needed to be done.

Qiu Cui was responsible for taking notes with pen and paper.

The little girls tied beautiful knots, strung beads, and decorated sachets, competing with each other to see who had the more skillful hands.

Nan Zhiyu sat aside and quietly prepared the perfume. Seeing them talking excitedly, a smile appeared on her face.

The news from the Eastern Palace was spread outside the palace through hidden spies. For example, the story that Nan Zhaoxun was reprimanded for trying to please the Queen Mother did not reach the Prime Minister's Mansion until two days later.

Madam Nan was so worried when she heard the news, "How could this happen? Nan Zhiyu, this little bitch, actually didn't keep her promise?!"

"You have spoiled your precious daughter so much that she doesn't know her place and doesn't use her brain when she speaks. Otherwise, how could she be disliked by the Queen Mother?"

Madam Nan took a few steps back and sat on the chair, "Is it that Mingzhu is stupid, or is it that the wolf cub in sheep's clothing raised on the farm is ambitious?

If I hadn't been deceived by her, how could my pearl be in this state?"

However, Prime Minister Nan did not take these matters to heart at all, because no matter who was favored, the Prime Minister's Office would be the ultimate beneficiary.

As someone close to the prime minister, how could Mrs. Nan not see what her husband was thinking?

She snorted coldly and looked at him sideways, "How could I not know what you were thinking?
I advise you not to be too happy too soon. After all, it is still a question whether your concubine's daughter can recognize you! "

Prime Minister Nan looked unhappy, "What do you mean by that?"

Madam Nan seemed to have heard something funny, and she bent over with laughter, "My husband, you must have forgotten that the whore who died on the farm was her biological mother."

"So what? I was able to control her mother before, and I can control her now. It's wishful thinking to want to fly out of my palm."

Madam Nan's face turned cold, she stood up and tidied her clothes, and said before leaving: "Shuo'er will be back soon. When he finds out that his sister is being bullied in the palace, he will definitely not sit idly by."

Prime Minister Nan glanced at her and did not refute, because he was the only one who knew how cold-blooded and ruthless his son was.

The ignorant and stupid woman didn't even know the character of her own son and was kept in the dark.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not entered the harem for several days. Nan Zhiyu was leisurely developing her own incense, matching each with a colorful hollow sachet.

Nan Zhiyu prepared the Shenglanxiang and had it packed into a box and sent to Yilan Palace to be given to Concubine Jiang.

As for Concubine Mu, someone sent a special pomegranate scent.

Finally, he ordered Lian Yue to personally deliver the Huajianlu to Qingning Palace.

Qing Dai looked at the last box left on the table and said jokingly, "My lady, are you going to give this to His Highness?"

Nan Zhiyu blushed slightly and glared at her coquettishly, "Who said that? I want to use these myself."

With a slender finger, she pointed randomly on the table and said, "That one is for the prince. You should give it to Eunuch Xiao Chai in person."

Qingdai couldn't help but twitch her lips. Asking her to carry an empty sachet in her hands and give it to the prince, what's the difference between this and seeking death?
"My lady, Qingdai knows she is wrong." She tried to get away with it by acting coquettishly, but Nan Zhiyu put her finger on her forehead in disgust.

"If you deliver it quickly, maybe it will be okay."

As soon as Nan Zhiyu said this, Qingdai quickly grabbed the sachet, threw it into a small box the size of a palm, and hurried out.

Nan Zhiyu couldn't help laughing when she saw how anxious she was.

Qiu Cuiye stretched her neck to look outside, "My lady, you only know how to scare Sister Qingdai."

Nan Zhiyu smiled and said, "Who told her to talk nonsense? If she said something wrong, she will be punished."

Qiu Cui quickly helped to clean up the things on the table.

My dear, you have been busy all afternoon, take a rest now!"

Mu Chang was very satisfied with the pomegranate scent. She asked Fu Zhu, "Did your master give me this pomegranate scent and sachet just for me?"

Fuzhu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "This pomegranate fragrance is indeed unique to you."

The incense that the young master gave to others was also separate.

She ordered people to give rewards, and then couldn't wait to go to Yilan Palace with the sachet.

Concubine Jiang was very surprised, after all, Mu Chang seldom came to visit her unless she was extremely bored.

Mu Chang turned around in front of her excitedly, "Can you see if there is anything different about me?"

After Jiang Jieyu looked her up and down, she didn't find anything unusual until she smelled a warm and bold floral scent on Mu Chang's body. "Did you change the incense?"

Mu Chang nodded and said proudly, "Yes, Zhizhi gave it to me."

Jiang Jieyu was not moved at all and said calmly, "Yes, I have one too."

Mu Chang: ...

 The sachet mentioned in this picture is not the one made of silk, but the one made of silver and hollowed out like a small ball.

  There are many types of sachets, and the materials are also very diverse, not just a single piece of cloth.
