Chapter 244: Different
"You can only show me later!" The white pearl embroidered slim dress was the simplest dress she had designed, but it was not an elegant one.
"Good!" Liu Qingshao nodded.
The biggest feature of this dress is the skirt, which is directly designed into a fishtail shape.
Mermaid dresses are common in modern times, but they are definitely a novelty in ancient times.
In fact, Liu Qingshao originally planned that the concubines in the harem, if she liked it, she would also design a set for herself in the future.
As a result, Xiao Hanyin directly chose the one she was most satisfied with.
Liu Qingshao decided to find someone to do it directly.
The embroidery on it, she was completely helpless.
Subsequently, Liu Qingshao directly ordered someone to send things back to the imperial city.
She ordered the clothes to be made out before they were sent to the palace.
As for the food, as well as the rouge gouache she made, they were also sent over.
Although he is an imperial businessman, he still has to be in his hands.
The emperor was very satisfied when he saw that the things she sent were more special than those sold in her shop.
Originally, the things in Liu Qingshao's shop were enough to attract attention, but I didn't expect her to keep them.
In this regard, the emperor is happy.
The concubines in the harem, although they felt that the clothes sent by Liu Qingshao were a little strange, but after seeing the style, they were all eager to try.
However, since she only sent a few pieces this time, only the highest-ranking concubines in the harem got it in the end.
When they tried it on, they felt a little shy.
The clothes sent by Liu Qingshao were not sealed at the waist, but buttoned on the side.
These buckles are inspired by Liu Qingshao according to the cheongsam, there was no zipper in ancient times, and most of the dresses were close-fitting, and they could not be sealed at the waist, otherwise they would destroy the beauty.
So, Liu Qingshao thought of the buckle.
Placing the buckle at the back or next to it does not affect the beauty of the dress, and it is also very convenient......
After several concubines got the dress, they didn't dare to wear it out at first, and they only dared to change it when they were sleeping.
However, they really like it in their hearts.
The emperor was in a good mood when he saw his concubine wearing such a different dress.
The concubines of the harem strive to be dignified in front of people, and the clothes they wear are similar, except for the color of the clothes, which is different from the embroidered patterns on them.
Nowadays, the clothes designed by Liu Qingshao have their own merits, and they are all selected according to their own preferences.
Wearing the dress, the slender waists of the concubines are undoubtedly revealed.
However, they only wore them occasionally in their own bedrooms, and the emperor felt that they were fresh and harmless......
So, the emperor directly ordered Liu Qingshao to be rewarded, and at the same time announced that she had become an imperial businessman.
The other wealthy merchants in the imperial city were a little unwilling when they learned about this.
However, this matter was expected by them, and although they were angry, they would not do anything out of the ordinary.
After all, the emperor has issued an order, and this matter is a foregone conclusion, and it cannot be changed again, unless Liu Qingshao angers the emperor.
Unfortunately, the probability of this happening is not too great.
The things in Liu Qingshao's shop, It's not that they haven't seen it, and now in the imperial city, there is no shop that can compare with her.
She was originally a unique existence in the imperial city, and it was not surprising that the emperor chose her.
The Helian family was also an imperial merchant, but they only provided the royal family with excellent tea, and they became the envy of other wealthy merchants in the imperial city.
Now, the things provided by Liu Qingshao have been highly praised by the emperor.
In the future, her status in the imperial city will be shaken by few wealthy businessmen......
Liu Qingshao's status has risen, which makes many women envious.
She is a woman, and she can have today's achievements, and she is almost about to become a role model for them.
However, Xiao Hanyin's position has never changed, and he is still only a small fifth-grade officer in the Ministry of War.
After this incident, new rumors came out of the imperial city.
"Other people's mansions are all based on their husbands, but in Lord Xiao's mansions, but his wife is more outstanding, I really don't know how his life is lived!"
"With such a rich wife, people's lives are much better than ours!"
"What if there is a lot of silver, it will not fall into his hands after all!"
"Since Gu Fu was his wife, she has become a member of the Xiao family, and everything around her is Xiao Hanyin!"
"I don't think so, Xiao Hanyin lives so muddled and nightmarish, he knows that he eats soft rice one day, Liu Qingshao is afraid that it may not be, and he will hand over everything in his hands to him!"
……
There were many rumors in the imperial city, but Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin, who were far away in Jinju, were completely unaware.
After escaping a crisis, the emperor did not seem to have a new order, so they had to continue to stay in Jinju.
On the surface, the emperor has a non-caring attitude towards him, and it seems that he doesn't want to reuse him very much......
The attitude of the emperor made more and more rumors in the imperial city.
After Duan Zhiming learned of this, he immediately took a letter of resignation and passed it to Liu Qingshao.
The two of them have just gotten married, and if there is a conflict between them, I am afraid that it will hurt their friendship.
As a result, after Liu Qingshao received his letter, she didn't care about it. Android
However, in order to reassure Duan Zhiming, she immediately replied to the letter.
Xiao Hanyin is now very much used by the emperor, and their relationship is also very good.
Some things can't just be seen on the surface, but Liu Qingshao knew that Duan Zhiming completely cared about himself, so he wrote a letter.
Therefore, she explained in the letter that their current situation did not reveal much.
What the emperor gave Xiao Hanyin was a secret mission, and he couldn't let too many people know about it.
Liu Qingshao didn't want Duan Zhiming to be worried, so she said that they were checking the accounts here, and they would go back after a while......
After Duan Zhiming learned that the two of them did not have an awkward relationship, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he stopped asking about them.
They are both married, and there are some things they have to do.
"Those people in the Imperial City are really boring, they can't do their own thing?" Liu Qingshao was extremely helpless about the rumors mentioned in Duan Zhiming's letter.
Since she and Xiao Hanyin became husband and wife, all kinds of conjectures about them outside have not stopped.
In fact, whether their life is good or bad is completely their business, and Liu Qingshao doesn't like others to judge them.
It's a pity that she can't stop it at all, so she can only choose to ignore it......
Five days later, Xiao Hanyin suddenly received a message from his subordinates.
"The second prince brought someone over?" After Liu Qingshao heard his words, her eyes were full of shock.
Didn't Xiao Hanyin send a message to the emperor before, Liu Qingshao thought that the matter had been dealt with.
After all, with the emperor's intentions for the crown prince, he would never allow the second prince to come over to stir up the situation.
However, now Xiao Hanyin has received news that the second prince seems to have brought people on the way over......
Liu Qingshao felt that this matter was very unusual.
In fact, Xiao Hanyin also had all kinds of conjectures in his heart, but at the moment they were not in the imperial city, and they didn't know what was going on in it.
So, he immediately wrote to the crown prince, Xiao Hanyin didn't want his plan to be ruined by anyone, even if the other party was a prince......
The prince's letter was soon delivered to them.
"Your Highness said that the second prince came here with a mission this time!" After Xiao Hanyin read the letter, his expression was very cold.
He didn't know what the emperor was thinking in his heart, he knew his son's ambitions, but he was still so laissez-faire.
Isn't this a deliberate stumbling block for the crown prince?
"Did Your Highness say that what is the mission of the second prince here?" She felt that it was really too coincidental.
The second prince wanted to come over before, but was stopped by the emperor.
Now that only half a month has passed, things have taken such a big turn, and Liu Qingshao is a little incompetent.
"Your Highness didn't say it!" Xiao Hanyin directly handed the letter to Liu Qingshao.
After Liu Qingshao finished reading it, her eyes were as cold as ice, "Your Highness actually asked us to help the second prince complete the task in private?" ”
She thought she might be a little dazzled, but when she re-read it, the contents didn't change in the slightest.
The crown prince did let them assist the second prince in private.
However, he also vaguely expressed in the letter that he hoped that they would pay attention to what the second prince did after he arrived in Jinju.
Liu Qingshao could see that the crown prince was also suspicious of the second prince, and it was obvious that this matter was not something he could control and prevent.
"Your Highness must have a hard time!" What is the relationship between the crown prince and the second prince, they know it well.
He specially reminded them this time that he had to keep an eye on the second prince secretly, obviously having a guess in his heart, but because there was no evidence, he could only use this method to remind them.
The second prince is brave and good at fighting, and his strength on the battlefield is extraordinary.
However, there was too much blood on his hands, which made his temper not very good, and he took people's lives directly at every turn......
Some ministers in the court felt that he was a little brutal, so they would support the crown prince.
However, the prince's temperament is a big failure, so the second prince has been very influential in the court for so many years.
Previously, the emperor personally took action, put Xiao Yifeng in prison, and personally cut off one of his arms.
The second prince has lowered his profile a lot, but his ambition to get the throne has not weakened, but has become stronger and stronger......
After Liu Qingshao and Xiao Han thought about it, they decided to wait for the second prince to come over before making plans.
They are now considered emperors, and even if the second prince really wants to do something, he will not dare to do it blatantly.
Before the arrival of the second prince, Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin were still doing the things at hand without any preparation.
Since they couldn't stop the determination of the second prince to come, they could only take one step at a time.
Now that the emperor's actions are becoming more and more mysterious, Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao thought at first that the emperor was trying to test them through this matter.
However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely, so he simply gave up trying to figure out the emperor's thoughts.
Although Jinju is not their territory, they have opened restaurants and shops here, which can be regarded as a small influence.
The second prince is completely different from them, he has lost the emperor's joy, if he does something that makes him jealous, the only thing waiting for him is lifelong solitary confinement......
A few days later, Xiao Hanyin heard that the second prince and his henchmen were now outside Jinzhou City.
Xiao Hanyin immediately led someone to greet them in person.
After all, he is still a prince, and his status is much higher than Xiao Hanyin.
At this time, if Xiao Hanyin didn't greet him, he was afraid that he would be accused of neglecting the prince......
"Second Highness, the place where you live has been arranged, please come with me!" Xiao Hanyin's attitude towards him was quite polite.
"You also live in the inn?" The second prince asked suddenly.
"No, the lower officials and the insiders rented a small courtyard, and the insiders are happy and quiet!" Xiao Hanyin's eyes flashed.
