Chapter 30 Knowledge is Power
"But Hongu is late?"
An extremely arrogant voice came from outside, Liu Guifei was wearing an extremely bright orange dress, and the colorful phoenix hairpin on her head was particularly obvious.
She held the palace maid with one hand and the second princess with the other, walking slowly and leisurely, first touching the bun with her hand, and then squatting without hurry.
"Concubines see queens."
Concubine Liu Guifei stood up directly without waiting for the queen to call and sat in the first position on the left.
The queen was so angry with her posture that she forgot to maintain the smile on her face, and it took a while for her to recover.
"The concubine came late today, but she is not feeling well."
Liu Guifei smiled and touched the bun on her head.
"The palace is in good health, but yesterday the little five and six made a disturbance that the palace couldn't sleep peacefully, so I got up very late, and I asked the queen for forgiveness......
Oh, by the way, yesterday the emperor said that he was going to take the homework of Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, and they were probably looking for the emperor at this time, so they didn't come to say hello to the mother. ”
Saying that, Concubine Liu was on the chair, looking at the queen with a smile, as if waiting for her forgiveness.
"It's okay...... The princes still have to focus on their homework. ”
For the prince, the queen has always had limited rights to intervene, the emperor is in charge of the prince, and the queen is in charge of the princess, which is the consistent tacit understanding between the two of them.
At this time, Biyun silently walked in from the outside and whispered in the queen's ear.
The queen's face changed, she looked at everyone, lifted her eyelids, and her tone was light.
"There was news from the cold palace just now, Li Xiuyi was found hanging on the beam of the house this morning, harmony in the palace is the first priority, don't have any thoughts that shouldn't be born, harm others and yourself."
"The concubines obey the teachings of the queen."
Liu Guifei's face was pale, and she was still very careless, as if she didn't know Li Xiuyi.
Everyone present knew that Li Xiuyi had always obeyed the orders of the concubine.
"Li Xiuyi has this kind of thing, and the concubines are also very sad, but the fourth princess is young and can't be left without anyone to take care of her, and the concubines have many children here, and they are not afraid of raising one more, so today they are going to move the four princesses to the palace of the concubines, and specially inform the queen."
Yesterday, the noble Yi went to the queen to report that Li Xiuyi not only had the evil thing of killing the concubines, but also suspected of murdering the third princess, and the evidence was conclusive, and Li Xiuyi herself admitted it.
The emperor was furious, abolished her title, and entered the cold palace.
Although everyone knows that this "suicide" must have water, so many of her "crimes" may not have been committed by her.
The current emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years, and most of the positions in the harem from the second rank and above have been occupied, and the last of the nine concubines has been occupied by Xu Zhaoyuan.
Now that a position has been vacated, some careerists have long been eager to try, and they are happy to see Li Xiuyi's concession.
The queen looked at Concubine Liu, neither of them said anything, and confronted each other silently.
"I naturally know that the concubine has a fancy for the fourth princess, but the concubine already has three sons under her knees, and there are many children, so it is inevitable that she can't take care of them, and there are many concubines who have no children and daughters in the palace, so it is better to find a suitable adoptive mother for the fourth princess."
Concubine Liu seemed to have expected the queen's answer, and stroked the second princess's hand carelessly.
"Thank you for the queen's care, the concubines and children have raised a lot, they already have some experience, and they don't need to be busy with official business like the queen, the fourth princess has always liked to play with Xiao Er, this matter, the emperor has agreed, today is just to come to the ward queen."
"So...... According to what Concubine Liu said, since you have all asked for peace, please step down, and the prince will come over later. ”
"The concubine retires!"
Seeing the queen shake her hand and leave, Liu Guifei smiled indifferently, and took the lead in standing up and leaving, as if she had inadvertently snorted coldly when she passed Gu Hui's mother and daughter.
The second princess also did the same, and walked away with her head up.
[Hmph! ╯^╰】
Gu Hui also learned to snort coldly.
Looking at Liu Guifei's back, she couldn't help but compare a middle finger in her mind.
Xu Zhaoyuan looked at Gu Huiqi's face bulging, and was quite amused in her heart, and hurriedly comforted her.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, the concubine is old, Ling'er let her a little, let's go back and make lotus root powder balls for Ling'er, okay?"
Gu Hui's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.
"Yes, yes!"
Li Xiuyi can be said to be the most powerful dog by the side of the concubine, but now she has become an outcast, and she will definitely take revenge with Liu Guifei's stinginess.
Maybe it's Liu Guifei's revenge.
For the next period of time, the big pig's trotters didn't come to see Gu Hui.
And Gu Hui also buried himself in the drawings and worked hard to write, without feeling the passage of time at all, and did not even go to the Qinzheng Palace to find Gu Zhi again.
When she handed over a set of drawings to Xu Zhaoyuan, she realized the seriousness of the matter.
Xu Zhaoyuan only looked at Gu Hui's first drawing, and her eyes lit up, she flipped through them one by one, nodded again and again, and looked at Gu Hui in surprise.
"Good girl, how did you come up with this idea? That's right...... When did you learn to draw? ”
Gu Hui smiled slightly, she threw herself into the drawings wholeheartedly, and forgot about this stubble.
reacted, pretending to be ignorant and asked.
"When I was playing with my father, I would take his books and read them casually when I was bored, and I would draw and draw by myself...... Mother, do you think my drawings can be used? ”
In fact, Gu Hui's painting is not very complicated, but combines the elements of some modern cute animals to draw the Q print of the kitten and the rabbit.
In this era when the main motif is either a phoenix or a peony flower and other patterns, the lethality of these Q version animals can be imagined.
It will definitely make those noble ladies, especially the children, fall for it.
Xu Zhaoyuan looked at the drawing in her hand carefully, and with her intelligence, she could easily see the potential of the things on this drawing.
"But this kind of jewelry is not like those complex crafts, which are easy to imitate."
Gu Hui touched his chin, obviously thinking of this stubble for a long time.
"So our animal jewelry has to be exquisite, and it's ...... Only give, not sell. ”
Xu Zhaoyuan frowned.
"Just give it away or not sell it?"
"Yes, just give, not sell."
It also takes time to imitate, and when these animal jewelry is sold and has a certain popularity, Jin Yuxuan will become the first choice of aristocratic ladies.
Then implement a certain incentive system, and now the aristocracy only seeks the most expensive, not the best, and does not worry about not being able to retain guests.
"Mother, we can give them a membership card, the implementation of the points system, there are a certain points can be exchanged for certain items, the most important point, the jewelry workmanship must be exquisite, the packaging must be gorgeous."
Although Gu Hui's idea sounds fanciful, it is not unreasonable when you think about it carefully.
Xu Zhaoyuan can deduce that the profits obtained after the success of this method must be extremely huge, but there are also certain risks.
She has never been a procrastinator, even if she uses tens of thousands of taels of silver to play with her daughter?
Instant clapping.
"Okay, let's listen to Ling'er."
[Author's digression]: Moved by the award ceremony of the good mother of the flower country
Xu Zhaoyuan: I have a lot of silver, and it's not a big deal to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to play with my daughter!
