My Princess Holds Superpowers

Chapter 482: 482 comparison

This matter, when initially mentioned, wasn’t of great significance. Families of officials abusing power isn’t uncommon, and no one really took it to heart, the intervention depending solely on whether someone would expose it or not.

Clearly, the matter of the soap was brought to light by Sikong Mo, and because of Sikong Mo’s extraordinary identity, that’s why it received such high attention.

If it were a commoner, the matter would be easily settled, but in the Prince’s case, it became difficult.

The Liu Family, his mother’s family, was also tied to the Prince’s Royal Residence, and during Sikong Mo’s request for grain and provisions upon coming to the capital city, the Liu Family had not spared any expense. This was also the reason why the old Emperor, even after learning of the Liu Family’s deeds, still didn’t punish them.

If the Prince didn’t know Ye Jiu, even if Ye Gaosheng was the victim, he would have been silenced long after the soap controversy came out.

In this world, it’s not about who’s right but who has money and power, and who can contribute to Dongyue.

And the Ye Family was not even in the same league as the Liu Family, let alone contributions.

Yet, the Prince knew Ye Jiu, and he would definitely not harm him, having already warned the Liu Family. Otherwise, Ye Jiu’s time in the capital city would have definitely been fraught with more troubles.

The soap had been branded with the Liu Family’s mark, and although it was not impossible to give it up, it would put the Liu Family in an embarrassing situation. Likewise, it would also cause a rift in the relationship between the Liu Family and the Prince’s Royal Residence.

Even, when others mocked the Liu family, they might as well be scoffing at the Prince’s confusion, criticizing him for cutting off his own limbs, so to speak.

Therefore, this matter could only result in Ye Jiu’s loss.

Thinking of that girl, the Prince felt a headache coming on.

The Prince hadn’t walked far when an eunuch stopped him, "Prince, the Empress requests your presence."

Being a person from his own mother’s side, the Prince couldn’t fail to recognize him.

Chaoyang Palace Main Hall

The Empress, who was a full sixty years old yet showed no signs of aging, looked at the Prince worriedly and asked, "What trouble have you caused this time, to upset your father the Emperor?"

The Prince walked over and sat beside the Empress, "It’s about the Liu family’s soap matter, but it has been resolved. You needn’t worry, Mother."

Seeing that the Prince wasn’t punished this time, the Empress felt relieved, "It’s good that it’s resolved. While the Liu family’s actions were unscrupulous, the soap really is useful. Especially the congratulatory gift you brought today, is it a new product from the Liu family? It’s much better than before, but they were rather stingy, only giving one piece!"

As she spoke, the Empress gave the Prince a rather surprised look.

The Prince felt a bit embarrassed, "This wasn’t actually produced by the Liu family."

The soap the Liu family had previously sent into the palace was indeed effective, but compared to the piece Ye Jiu gave today, it was like comparing a dwarf to a giant.

At first, when Ye Jiu said she had devised the Soap Formula herself, the Prince had a hundred reasons not to believe her.

A young girl like her, creating such a wonderful product?

However, when Ye Jiu handed him the soap to present as a birthday gift to the Empress, the Prince had no choice but to believe it.

After all, the proof was right there.

The Liu family made many modifications to the soap formula after they got it, improving the fragrance and color much more than the original.

Yet, the piece Ye Jiu brought out today, of a light purple hue adorned with a floral pattern, released a captivating fragrance upon opening, and the soap was translucent throughout, looking more like a piece of fine jade, so pleasing to the eye that it seemed a waste to use it.

As the saying goes, without comparisons there is no harm.
