Soon, the embroidery of the Han family embroidery workshop was recognized by the emperor and spread in the palace. For a time, there was a wave of popularity in the palace, and many people were proud to own an embroidery made by Bai Jiujiu himself.

For this reason, Bai Jiujiu was very busy. Many palace nobles came to the door in person, in order to ask for an embroidery made by her own hands.

Seeing this scene, Xu Huaiqing felt very embarrassed. Although it is a good thing that the embroidery made by Bai Jiujiu is very popular, but he also sees her hard work, there are many dignitaries and nobles in the palace, if everyone comes to ask for one, I am afraid that Bai Jiujiu will not be able to make so many even if he is tired to death.

"Jiujiu, if you come to ask for embroidery in the future, I will refuse for you." Xu Huaiqing sighed and proposed to Bai Jiujiu. Although he might offend some people because of this, he didn't want Bai Jiujiu to be under so much pressure because of himself.

Bai Jiujiu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Isn't this okay?" After all, you have just started to enter the ranks, and if you offend some powerful people because of this, it is likely to have a bad impact on your future career. ”

"You don't need to say any more, I've already decided on this matter." Xu Huaiqing frowned slightly, still insisting on his opinion, "I can't let you suffer for the sake of an illusory career. ”

Hearing this, Bai Jiujiu's heart was full of gratitude. has been with Xu Huaiqing for a long time, and she naturally understands the importance that the other party attaches to her career. But for his own sake, he was willing to do so.

"I see." Looking at Xu Huaiqing deeply, Bai Jiujiu agreed to his proposal, "I will only make one thing a day in the future, and you will choose one from the people who come to the door and give it to him." ”

Because of the limited supply, the embroidery produced by Bai Jiujiu has become a sought-after commodity among the royal nobles. Those who get it can show off to others, as if it has become a status symbol. And those who didn't get it will naturally feel unwilling, so they come to the door more frequently, wanting to ask for an embroidery.

In this way, the Xu family became a gathering place for dignitaries for a while, and countless guests visited every day.

The emperor's recognition made the business of the embroidery workshop more popular. For this reason, Han Zhaoyin also came to the door in person to ask Bai Jiujiu for advice.

"Jiujiu, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Seeing Han Zhaoyin coming to the door, Bai Jiujiu stopped the embroidery work in his hand, "The business of the embroidery workshop has been so busy recently, why do you have time to come to me in person?" ”

Han Zhaoyin shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "Anyway, I'm not here, and the embroidery products produced by the embroidery workshop are in short supply." I came to you today to discuss this matter, and it is difficult to have a surplus of embroidery just to supply it to the palace, and if it is sold as before, it is really unbearable. ”

Although Han Zhaoyin didn't say it explicitly, Bai Jiujiu already knew what he wanted to express. Nowadays, embroidery is so popular that there is a situation where demand exceeds supply. Han Zhaoyin wanted to change the business strategy of the embroidery workshop, and in the future, it would be specially supplied to the palace and no longer sold to the people.

Thinking of this, Bai Jiujiu couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows. For Bai Jiujiu, she hopes that the embroidery she makes can be widely circulated, not only by the nobles of the palace, which goes against her original intention of opening an embroidery workshop.

Biting his lip vigorously, Bai Jiujiu hesitated for a long time before he replied, "Zhaoyin, I know that the embroidery workshop is facing a lot of pressure now, and the embroidery products produced cannot keep up with the demand at all. However, I still hope that our embroidery workshop, as before, will be open to ordinary people, so that ordinary people can also use the embroidery we make. Instead of becoming the exclusive preserve of the nobles of the royal palace. ”

Hearing this, Han Zhaoyin couldn't help but sigh, "Jiujiu, why don't I want this?" It's just that we are now stretched thin just to meet the needs of the palace, and there is no surplus embroidery to sell to the people. ”

Bai Jiujiu frowned, trying to think of countermeasures. She could understand Han Zhaoyin's dilemma, but she didn't intend to compromise because of this.

"That's good." Bai Jiujiu took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind, "In the future, the embroidery workshop will take out half of the embroidery every day and send it. In the palace, the remaining half is kept for sale. ”

Han Zhaoyin's face showed a look of embarrassment, and he said in a deep voice, "Jiujiu, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, right?" Cutting back on the embroidery supplied to the palace is likely to make some of the palace nobles who can't get it resentful. Now that Huaiqing's career has just begun, if he offends the powerful, I am afraid it will have an adverse impact on his career. ”

"You don't need to worry about this, I've already communicated with Huaiqing." Even if Han Zhaoyin pointed out all the drawbacks, Bai Jiujiu still insisted on thinking about his own ideas, "To tell you the truth, there are many palace nobles in our family every day, just to ask for an embroidery made by me." And Huaiqing asked me to only provide one thing a day, which has already offended a group of people, and it doesn't matter if I offend some more. ”

Seeing Bai Jiujiu say this, Han Zhaoyin nodded helplessly, "I know." In that case, I will henceforth cut down the daily supply of embroidery to the Imperial Palace, as you have said, and set aside half of it for sale. ”

The decision made by Bai Jiujiu made the reputation of the embroidery workshop in the folk even louder. Even the emperor praised the embroidery, originally thought that only the nobles of the palace would be able to use it in the future, but he never thought that it would continue to be sold to the people, and this alone made everyone compete for praise.

Under the propaganda of Concubine Shu, the embroidery made by Bai Jiujiu seems to have become the darling of the palace. Today's Zhao Feihuai, as the crown princess, although she is unwilling, she also has a status far beyond ordinary people.

Therefore, naturally in order to please the prince, some people dedicated the embroidery they sought to Zhao Feihuai.

Seeing the embroidery offered, Zhao Feihuai couldn't help but be taken aback. Because of her hatred of Bai Jiujiu, she naturally never used the embroidery she produced.

"Where did this embroidery come from?" Zhao Feihuai gently stroked the embroidery, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, "I have seen a lot of embroidery, but it is the first time I have seen such a well-made and creative work." ”

Zhao Feihuai's liking for Xu Huaiqing is a secret, except for a few parties, others don't know, so naturally they don't think of the grievances between her and Bai Jiujiu.

"Crown Princess, this embroidery is made by Lord Xu's wife, Bai Jiujiu." The gift giver's face was full of flattery, "The embroidery she made is now a status symbol, and only one piece is supplied every day, and the people who can have it are not the powerful people in the court without exception." The villain also spent a lot of effort to get one by luck, and he didn't dare to enjoy it exclusively, so he dedicated it to the crown princess. ”
