Chapter 486: Wen Yan is guilty and dead

Pei'er was stunned: "If I hadn't seen you make them stitch by stitch with my own eyes, I might have suspected that those clothes were bought from this store."

"Exactly the same?" How is that possible!

Wen Yan reminded Pei'er, "Feel the material, are they really the same?"

Pei'er really touched it and immediately felt the difference.

"Miss, this material..."

"This material is very valuable. If you don't want to buy it, don't touch it. You can't afford to pay for it if it gets damaged or dirty." A female clerk came over.

He glanced up and down, looking at the two of them from head to toe.

With just a glance, she could judge the family background and spending level of the two female customers from their clothes.

She is not flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak, but is just giving a kind reminder.

Their boss is very strict. If the clothes are dirty or wrinkled, the customer must either buy them or ask the waiter to compensate for them.

They worked tirelessly for a month but couldn't even afford to pay for the accessories on the clothes.

She also doesn't want to force poor people to spend money.

"How much is this dress?" Pei'er asked unhappily.

This is the first time since I started following the lady that someone has questioned my ability to pay.

The female clerk said, "Three hundred and twenty-six taels of silver."

"What!" Pei'er let go of her hand in surprise and retreated behind Wen Yan.

Wen Ruyue is stealing the silver!

The workmanship is obviously not very good, and the pearls inlaid on it are not round and of uneven size.

Why does she sell it so expensively?

Wen Yan glanced around the shop, memorized the styles, and then pulled Pei'er out of the shop.

Pei'er speculated, "Miss, I suspect Wen Ruyue has spies in the building?"

"Impossible. Wen Ruyue doesn't have the ability even if she has the brains." Wen Yan said with certainty.

Pearl: "Miss, please respect me. But are we just going to let this matter go?"

"Don't worry, she will soon be unable to make waves." Wen Yan said.

Wen Ruyue was just relying on the memories of her previous life.

In the previous life, Wen Yanxin opened a clothing store. Whenever a new style came out, Wen Ruyue would take a set home.

She kept the ones she liked and gave away the ones she didn't like, and she earned countless favors from others.

Seventy percent of the styles displayed in her store today were ones she particularly liked in her previous life.

Because I like the clothes, I wear them often so that I can remember the details.

The remaining 30% comes from hot-selling items from other shops.

Once she finishes making the styles she likes, how will she keep her shop going?

**

After a busy day, it was the day when the Queen came to visit the "Qingfeng Xiaolou".

After arranging the garden and confirming that everything was correct, Wen Yan gave the extra maids a holiday and only kept the maids with their mouths shut to serve.

Aunt Lan Xin didn't give an exact time for her visit, which meant they could arrive at any time.

Wen Yan didn't dare to delay and had to wait early in the morning.

It was not until after noon that an inconspicuous green cloth carriage drove into the "Qingfeng Xiaolou" from the back door.

Wen Yan brought people over and knelt to greet them: "Welcome, Madam."

The Queen got off the carriage with the help of Aunt Lan Xin.

Following her out was a boy and a girl.

The girl playfully stuck out her tongue at Wen Yan, looking cute and adorable.

The young man held one hand in front of him and the other behind his back, looking very mature.

Finally, a middle-aged man with a calm temperament got out of the carriage.

When a male guest suddenly appeared, the maids were instantly panicked.

But he quickly returned to work, lowering his head and eyes, never looking around.

When Wen Yan saw who was coming, she was startled. Why was the emperor here?

The emperor rarely leaves the palace.

Once he comes out, it must be something important.

The incident of the fifth princess happened not long ago.

Ji Xiangyun is the emperor's most beloved daughter, so he might seek justice for her.

Wen Yan felt very guilty and quickly knelt down to salute: "Your Majesty..."

"I have some free time today, so I'm here with my wife to relax.

I heard that your shop only accepts female customers. Would it be against the rules for me to come here?" The emperor interrupted Wen Yan.

The emperor did not want to reveal his identity.

Wen Yan forced a smile and explained, "That's the requirement for the business period.

However, we are currently closed, so we can make an exception for you."

There were male customers who made reservations before, but they were all rejected by Wen Yan.

Wen Yan said that once the problem was solved, the reputation that had been hard-earned would be ruined.

The maids looked at each other, but dared not ask anything.

In addition to the emperor and empress's family of four, the coachman driving their carriage was also an acquaintance of Wen Yan's - the young leader Yuan, also known as Ji Chengyuan.

The emperor and empress arrived after lunch.

The sun was shining brightly at this time, so Wen Yan arranged for them to rest in the small courtyard first.

"Please come this way." Wen Yan quickly adjusted his mentality and took them to the courtyard that had been arranged in advance.

This is not a very spacious and beautiful courtyard, but half of it faces the water and the other half faces the forest.

On the west side of the yard, there is a huge camphor tree.

The special fragrance emitted by the camphor tree reduces the number of mosquitoes in the yard.

The treetops are like a canopy, covering most of the house.

In addition, Wen Yan placed an ice bucket in the corner of the room, so as soon as he entered the room, he was hit by a cool breeze.

After making proper arrangements for the Queen, Wen Yan respectfully withdrew, not forgetting to remind Aunt Lan Xin: "If you feel the light in the room is too bright, you can lower the curtains to block out the light."

After giving the instructions, Wen Yan left in a happy mood.

However, not long after she walked out, the Sixth Princess chased after her.

"Young Master..."

Wen Yan quickly stopped and turned around: "Sixth Miss, why did you come out?"

The Sixth Princess asked, "Is the Mute Sister here? I want her to paint my nail polish and flower ornaments for me."

Wen Yan then led her to a flower-themed garden.

There is no little girl who doesn't love flowers.

With the company of her mute sister, the Sixth Princess soon enjoyed herself.

Wen Yan originally wanted to find a place to wait.

Ji Chengyuan walked towards her and said, "Qingfeng Xiaolou has been open for more than half a year, and this is my first time here."

Wen Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Aren't you working in the Imperial City's Forbidden Army?

Why were you transferred to the Imperial City Guards?"

"I'm just on secondment today."

"Then you blame yourself for being respected!" Wen Yan teased deliberately.

Ji Chengyuan looked away guiltily, not daring to meet Wen Yan's gaze.

He put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly.

Then he took out an oil-paper bag from somewhere and handed it to Wen Yan: "Try it, I brought it specially for you."

Pei'er opened the oil-paper package and saw a few snacks inside.

Wen Yan looked at the snack in silence.

Isn’t this a snack from the palace!

The emperor and empress often rewarded Meng Chifei with delicious food, and Wen Yan benefited from it, so she had seen a lot of palace delicacies.

Wen Yan couldn't help but look at Leader Yuan again.

Her guess was right; his identity was not simple.

An hour later, the emperor and empress had a good rest.

Both of them were full of energy and looked in high spirits.

The sun was setting and the garden was not so hot anymore.

Wen Yan took them to visit the yard.

They walked and stopped.

If I find a yard I like, I will stay there a little longer.

The emperor said, "No wonder the ministers in the court are full of praise for 'Qingfeng Xiaolou'.

It is really beautiful and innovative.

Even the Imperial Garden is not as well-cared for as yours.

This money is what you deserve."

The emperor's tone of praise for her sounded sincere, and it seemed that he did not want to hold the fifth princess accountable.

So what was the emperor going to do by making this special trip?

Could it be that you really come here to relax?

perhaps--

Wen Yan's eyes suddenly widened.

He came for Liuli's matter.
