The Prime Minister's sweetheart is coming back soon
"If you hadn't used some coquettish tricks to seduce the Prime Minister, why would he keep you in his mansion? However, I heard that the Prime Minister's sweetheart will be back soon. When she enters the mansion, do you think you can still live a good life?"
The maid raised her eyebrows smugly, shook her head and clicked her tongue.
"I advise you to cherish your current life! After all, when you are expelled from the Prime Minister's Mansion, you, the daughter of a criminal, will not be able to enjoy such a good meal!"
After saying this, she turned around and left disdainfully without waiting for Su Qingli's response.
Hearing this, Su Qingli panicked a little.
She frowned slightly, and her body swayed. She accidentally dropped the brush in her hand to the ground, and the ink smudged on the ground, which was particularly conspicuous.
I knew he had a sweetheart who was not in the imperial city, but I never thought he was so deeply in love with her.
I guess he hasn't set foot in Xiaoxiang Garden in the past few days because he was preparing for the reception and forgot about her existence in the mansion.
The pain spread from the heart to the limbs.
She didn't even realize when she was crying.
However, it was also good this way. From the moment the new emperor ascended the throne, she was destined to have nothing to do with Fu Xuechen anymore. Instead of indulging in the unrealistic relationship of the past, she might as well think about how to make a living.
At least when she leaves the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, she will have a skill to make a living.
Thinking of this, Su Qingli raised her hand to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes, stood up and sat at the table, shoveling rice into her mouth in big mouthfuls.
After all, Xiaoxiang Garden was unattended. After lunch, she did not stay in the mansion any longer and went out with the drawings she had made in the past few days.
A private room somewhere among the clouds and water.
Xiaoxiang held Su Qingli's drawing in her hand, her expression becoming more and more excited, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"Miss, you are indeed a talented lady from the Imperial City. These sachets are exquisite in shape and elegant in color. They are much prettier than purses. If they could be made into real things, they would definitely be very popular."
After she finished speaking, she quickly put the basket beside her on the table, pushed it in front of Su Qingli, and said with some pain.
"Miss, these are the fabrics I bought recently from various cloth shops. Take a look. Do you like any of them?"
Hearing this, Su Qingli lifted the coarse cloth covering the basket, and a variety of fabrics came into view, including smooth silk, delicate and soft Shu brocade, and luxurious and low-key dark-flowered brocade...
Although each of these fabrics is only the size of a palm, they are not cheap.
I think Xiaoxiang has put a lot of thought into this.
She reached out and picked up a few pieces of fabric, carefully stroking them with her fingertips. She glanced at Xiaoxiang with gratitude, pursed her lips and said softly, "I'm sorry for the trouble."
Hearing her thank you, Xiaoxiang seemed a little flustered and waved her hands to explain.
"Miss, you have given me a new life. It is my duty to help you. You don't have to take this little thing to heart."
"What's more, the young lady is smart and has her own ideas. I am looking forward to learning some skills from her so that I can live a good life with her in the future!"
As she spoke, she scratched her head and grinned a little sheepishly.
Seeing her so frank, Su Qingli felt warm in her heart, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her tone became lighter.
"Since you trust me so much, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
After saying this, she took off a fine jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Xiaoxiang, saying softly, "But this fabric is very valuable. It will cost a lot of money just to buy it. You can pawn this bracelet first and get some silver."
Seeing this, Xiaoxiang quickly stood up and shook her head to refuse.
"How can that be possible? I'm familiar with the proprietress of Yunshuijian. If we're short of money, we can borrow some from her first. We can just pay her back later. It's no big deal."
"Well, young lady, I guess these are the only pieces of jewelry left now, so you should keep them!"
She is now the daughter of a criminal and even her livelihood is a problem. How can she have the time to dress up?
Su Qingli shook her head and smiled bitterly, gently holding Xiaoxiang's hand and forcing the bracelet into her palm, her tone unquestionable.
"Okay, just listen to me on this matter."
"No matter how familiar we are, favors will eventually run out. If you can rely on yourself, don't bother others."
Seeing her firm attitude, Xiaoxiang had no choice but to accept the bracelet.
She carefully wrapped the bracelet and put it in her arms. Her eyes were slightly red as she whispered, "Then listen to what the young lady says. When we earn money in the future, we will redeem it."
Su Qingli nodded slightly, as a sign of agreement.
She took out a few pieces of cloth from the basket and handed them to Xiaoxiang.
"Let's choose these few fabrics for now. If business picks up in the future, we can add a few more."
Now that the problem of fabric has been solved, the next thing to choose is the most critical thing for making sachets - spices.
Although she knew a thing or two about perfume making, business was no joke after all. She had to select carefully and match perfumes reasonably in order to win the favor of the rich lady.
As if she could see what Su Qingli was thinking, Xiaoxiang spoke first before she could ask.
"I've been asking around in the city these past few days, and I've found quite a few spice shops in the west, and the prices are quite reasonable. Miss, when you have time, we can go take a look together."
Hearing this, Su Qingli drank the tea in her hand, put it on the table, and stood up.
"The sooner the better, the better. Why don't we go now?"
After they paid the bill, they headed towards the west of the city.
Two days later, in the imperial study, the emperor, wearing a dragon robe, was sitting on the dragon throne, holding a memorial in his hand. He frowned, flipping through the memorial while talking to the person standing in front of him.
"Master Fu, what do you think about this matter?"
The emperor, who had not received a response for a long time, looked up at Fu Xuechen who was standing still.
His pupils were slightly dilated, and although he was standing in front of me, he seemed a little absent-minded.
The emperor raised his eyebrows, put down the memorial in his hand, and raised his voice several degrees.
"Master Fu? What are you thinking about? You are so engrossed. Is there something wrong in the mansion?"
Fu Xuechen was startled back to his senses by the voice. Seeing the emperor staring at him, he pursed his lips, bowed and bowed to the emperor to apologize.
"I didn't get enough rest last night, so I lost my mind. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"
The emperor knew his character well.
What's more, Fu Xuechen now holds a very important position in the court, and everyone in the court is keeping a close eye on him. The emperor certainly cannot blame him for such a small matter.
After staring at him for a moment, the emperor sighed and finally waved his hand.
"Well, if that's the case, Master Fu should go back and rest early!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Fu Xuechen did not refuse. He bowed and bowed before leaving the imperial study.
Outside the palace gate, his personal guard was standing and waiting.
Seeing him walk out of the palace gate, the guards hurried to the slightly simple carriage, brought a footstool, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and helped Fu Xuechen get on the carriage.
Although the carriage looks simple on the outside, it is very impressive on the inside.
