I traveled back to the Qin Dynasty, and the First Emperor begged me to become his empress.

Chapter 106 Soap

The news that Ying Wuyou had returned to the palace with a large box quickly spread throughout the entire palace. Everyone knew that this highly regarded princess possessed extraordinary talent and wisdom.

Over the past year, whenever she returned to the palace with something, she always brought back some amazing new and interesting items. Therefore, when she returned to the palace again with something, the princes and princesses in the court could no longer contain their curiosity and flocked to Chaohua Hall, eager to find out what it was.

The moment Ying Wuyou stepped into Chaohua Palace, she was surprised to find her brothers and sisters, Ying Yunman, Ying Lingyuan, Ying Yueying, Ying Gaolu, and Ying Gaoshan, already eagerly waiting for her. Their eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation, seemingly fascinated by the mysterious box. Ying Wuyou's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously, "Brothers and sisters, why have you all suddenly come today? Is there something important?"

Ying Yunman stepped forward with a smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She said softly, "Jiayang, we heard you brought back a box. It must contain many treasures! Let us see what good things are inside!"

The other siblings chimed in, expressing their eagerness to know the answer. Faced with such enthusiastic siblings, Ying Wuyou couldn't help but laugh. She knew all too well that once their curiosity was aroused, it would be difficult to suppress.

So she slowly opened the box. When everyone turned their attention to the box, their faces showed surprise. Inside, there were neatly arranged square-shaped items of different colors: some were pure white, some were yellow like chrysanthemums, some were green like grass, and some were pink like flowers.

Everyone stared curiously at the cube-shaped objects, their eyes filled with doubt and curiosity. Ying Gaolu was the first to pick up a green one, examining it closely. His brows furrowed slightly, and he asked with a puzzled look, "Jiayang, what is this? Why does it give off a faint herbal smell?"

The others nodded in agreement. Ying Wuyou smiled and explained, "This is called soap."

Ying Lingyuan asked curiously, "Soap? What is it used for?"

Ying Gaoshan quickly chimed in, "Yeah, can you eat this stuff?"

Ying Wuyou couldn't help but laugh out loud, and replied softly, "Of course you can't eat it! This is specially made for washing hands. Of course, it can also be used for bathing, washing clothes, and so on. But its main purpose is for washing hands."

Upon hearing that the soap was for washing hands, the young men immediately lost interest. They thought, "Why use anything for washing hands? Isn't water enough?" So they all shook their heads in refusal.

The princesses' eyes lit up when they heard the word, and they asked curiously, "How do you use it?"

Ying Wuyou smiled and explained, "You just put this in water and rub it to make bubbles, then use it to wash your hands. It will clean them very well." As she spoke, she asked Cui'er to fetch water.

Upon hearing this, Cui'er immediately nodded in agreement and turned to leave the room. Not long after, Cui'er returned with several other maids, each carrying a basin filled with water. Ying Wuyou nodded in satisfaction, gesturing for them to place the basins on the table.

Next, Ying Wuyou picked up a bar of soap, gently placed it in the water, and then stirred it lightly with her fingers. Soon, many tiny bubbles appeared on the surface of the water, which looked quite interesting.

Ying Wuyou smiled and said to everyone, "See? Just put your hands in water, and after they get wet, rub them with this bar of soap, and you'll get lots of bubbles."

Hearing Ying Wuyou's words, the princesses carefully placed their hands into the water. When their hands touched the cool water, they couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling very comfortable. Then, they picked up the soap and, imitating Ying Wuyou, began to lather it up.

As they worked, the surface of the soap gradually became incredibly smooth, producing a large amount of fine foam. This foam shimmered under the sunlight, creating a beautiful, dreamlike scene. Everyone gasped in amazement at the extraordinary sight before them.

Soon, the princesses' hands were covered in foam. They excitedly showed off their creations to each other, their laughter echoing throughout the room. Finally, they rinsed the foam off their hands with clean water and found that their once dirty hands were now as white as snow, smooth and delicate.

Looking at their clean, fair hands, the princesses were overjoyed, their eyes filled with delight. They hadn't expected that this little bar of soap would have such magical effects, not only cleaning away dirt but also making their skin smoother.

Seeing such remarkable results, Ying Gaolu and Ying Gaoshan exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with anticipation. Unable to contain their curiosity, they eagerly imitated Ying Wuyou's actions, diligently washing their hands. Surprisingly, after washing with soap, their hands not only looked cleaner and tidier, but their skin also felt exceptionally smooth and delicate, as if completely refreshed. This wondrous change astonished everyone, their joy overflowing.

Ying Yueying held the magical soap with great joy, reluctant to put it down. She asked expectantly, "Sister Jiayang, can I have this soap?"

Ying Wuyou smiled and pinched Ying Yueying's cute cheek, replying gently, "Of course!"

Ying Yueying's eyes lit up instantly, her face beaming with surprise. She asked incredulously, "Really?"

Ying Wuyou nodded firmly and said, "Of course it's true!"

Following Ying Wuyou's words, the others also expressed their desire to receive one. Ying Wuyou smiled and said, "Alright, I'll give one to each of you. However, I'm not just giving them to you; I have a bigger plan."

Ying Gaolu said, "Jiayang, just tell us your plan! We'll do our best to help you." The others nodded in agreement, indicating their willingness to assist.

Ying Wuyou smiled mysteriously and said softly, "Actually, I want to invite everyone to cooperate with me in business."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, staring at Ying Wuyou in surprise, their eyes filled with doubt and confusion. Ying Gaoshan was the first to speak, asking, "Jiayang, we don't know anything about doing business!" The others echoed, "Yes, yes! We know nothing about doing business, how can we cooperate with you?"

Ying Wuyou smiled and explained, "It's not difficult. I'll come up with a detailed plan tonight, and you can come back to me tomorrow so we can discuss how to start this business. As for now... you can each pick one of these soaps that you like to take home and use." With that, he placed the beautifully packaged soaps on the table, gesturing for them to choose freely.
