Chapter 183 Extra 1: The Queen's Money-Making Plan
Time flies like water.
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed since the world-renowned wedding.
During these three months, Xiao Yuheng worked diligently to govern the country, appoint talented people and carry out reforms. He attended court sessions every day according to the routine, but he did not feel tired at all.
Because, on the third day after the wedding, Shen Yue accompanied the emperor to the court and announced a major event:
The daily morning court session of the Daqi Dynasty was changed from the hour of Mao to no earlier than the hour of Si, and the rest days were also changed from working five days and having one day off to working four days and having three days off.
As soon as this move was made, everyone in the government and the country was excited.
All the civil and military officials in the court praised the empress as a good empress with far-sightedness, virtue and benevolence. When expressing their gratitude, they consciously changed the greeting from "Long Live the Empress" to "Long Live the Empress".
After all, no one wants to get up earlier than a dog every day.
As the queen, Shen Yue naturally deserves such praise.
She did not make this decision on a whim, but rather made it after careful consideration.
In the past, when officials rolled in for the day, they would yawn profusely and speak weakly. Changing to the time of si (six-hour shift) was more in line with the development of the human body, making officials more energetic and improving work efficiency.
In addition, of course, there are selfish considerations.
That is, Hengheng can rest a little longer, and she doesn't have to wake up every day to see an empty bed.
In addition to modifying her working hours, she also took the initiative to pay out of her own pocket to rebuild homes for the people who had experienced the snow disaster in the northern border. She also discussed with Xiao Yuheng and Lu Zhengyan to implement the imperial examination system for female officials.
After doing all this, she returned to the harem and never came to court again.
Xiao Yuheng thought she was just playing around and would quit when the novelty wore off, but he didn't know that she had more important things to do.
That is - to fill her little treasury.
My goodness, she didn’t know that it would cost millions of taels to provide relief for the snow disaster!
If she had known this earlier, she would not have pretended to be rich. After all, the Qi Dynasty’s treasury had plenty of money, so let them spend it. Why would she have to pay for it?
Our miserly queen was very upset and drew up a money-making plan overnight.
First, she picked up her old profession, writing short articles and selling them in large quantities through the bookstore under her name.
Secondly, she used the raw materials of that era to design briefs and sanitary napkins, which not only saved her from having to tie her thighs, but also benefited women across the country.
Finally, design some cool and sexy little battle robes and sell them at high prices to the wives and concubines of those rich and powerful families. This will not only help stabilize the marriage, but also make you a lot of money. It's really killing two birds with one stone!
On this day, after His Majesty finished his official duties and returned to the Moon-Lanyue Palace, he saw all sorts of gaudy candles lit in the spacious and deserted bedroom.
It was quiet all around, and he looked at Pearl at the door with a guilty conscience.
"Where's the Queen?"
Pearl chuckled, "The Queen is waiting for you in the inner hall, Your Majesty, please go!"
Xiao Yuheng couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.
A Yue is going to give him a surprise!
He cleared his throat and adjusted his dragon robe several times before walking towards the inner hall calmly.
At this time, Shen Yue was leaning behind a carved column, recalling the sexy dance moves on TV.
Hearing the footsteps, she slowly turned sideways, raised one of her long, white legs, and the anklet on her ankle trembled slightly, and the silver bells jingled.
"Husband, you're back~~"
Even though Xiao Yuheng was mentally prepared, he still felt his whole body soften at the tender voice, and his heart trembled at the long, glowing white legs.
"Wife, I'm coming~~"
Chen Yue is a modern person, and she often uses modern words when begging for mercy in bed, so Xiao Yuheng has become accustomed to the terms "husband and wife".
At this moment, he was overjoyed. He strode forward, grabbed Shen Yue's white little hand, and pulled her out from behind the pillar.
You don’t know until you’re cool.
As soon as I pulled it, blood started flowing out of my nose...
Shen Yue was wearing a black silk V-neck halter dress, her waist was so slender that it could be held in one hand, and her figure was half-covered, which was very attractive.
Her long black hair was meticulously curled into large waves, cascading down over her snow-white shoulders like dark clouds. A faint fragrance emanated from her hair, captivating Xiao Yuheng.
"Wife, you...you are so beautiful."
Xiao Yuheng pretended to be calm and raised his sleeve to wipe the blood from his nose, but his blood rushed up and he couldn't stop the bleeding.
In the end, Shen Yue smiled and took out a handkerchief to help him block the bleeding for a long time before it stopped.
Xiao Yuheng sat beside the couch, like a hungry wolf, pinching her slender waist and looking at her with bloodshot eyes.
"Wife, your hair..."
"I used iron chopsticks to scald it. Does it look good?"
"It looks good." He swallowed hard, lowered his head, and kissed the corner of her lips, "And this dress..."
Shen Yue smiled sweetly, "It's also custom-made for you, do you like it?"
"I like it...Wife, you are so nice..."
He leaned in front of her, his breathing hot and rapid, like a gushing flame, splashing on her trembling skin with small kisses.
"Then be nicer to me and love me..."
His voice was hoarse and low, and veins bulged in his arms.
He kissed her eagerly and pressed on her without saying a word.
Shen Yue suddenly remembered something, pushed the person away, returned to the table, picked up a fine brush, and began to draw.
“…”
Our Majesty was ready to set off, but was stopped abruptly. It was really unfair.
He reluctantly put on his clothes, came to the table, looked at the drawings on the table, and asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"Drawings."
Shen Yue finished drawing the blueprint and showed it to Xiao Yuheng.
"I'm thinking of adding lace to this nightgown. What do you think, do men in our dynasty prefer white or black?"
“…”
Xiao Yuheng's face turned dark.
Isn't this for him to see? Why do you care what color other men like?
Shen Yue then realized that she had not explained herself clearly, and she mumbled all her plans for making money.
Xiao Yuheng was speechless, "Ayue, are you so short of money?"
"Um, no, but who would complain about having too much money? Look, I designed a lot of clothes. If they sell well, I will definitely make a lot of money."
As Shen Yue spoke, she took out a pile of drawings at hand and showed them to him one by one.
Xiao Yuheng took a look and was surprised to see that each one had less fabric than the last.
"What's this?"
"Underwear can both shape your body and prevent sagging."
"What about this?"
"It's also underwear, but it's different from the previous ones. This is QQ underwear, and this nightgown. Once we go into mass production, we're sure to make a lot of money. Not only can we sell it domestically, but we can also export it abroad..."
Shen Yue spoke with great enthusiasm and incessantly, even more eloquent than the veteran ministers in the court.
Our Majesty, however, showed no interest and his face grew darker the more he listened.
"no!"
"Why?" the queen pouted.
"Why why, why? Tell me why!"
Our queen was suddenly picked up horizontally, thrown onto the couch, and held back forcefully.
His Majesty lowered his eyes and looked at the Queen, his beautiful eyes full of lust.
"Because the clothes designed by the Queen can only be seen by me. I want to see lace nightgowns and QQ underwear! I want these things to be worn only by the Queen, and to exist only to please me!"
“…”
After Hengheng became emperor, he indeed became more domineering!
"Then my silver..."
The man narrowed his eyes. "How much can you make from selling clothes? Now that the former members of the Black Hawk Army have been incorporated, the one-third of the property won't be used. How about using it to compensate for your losses?"
Shen Yue's eyes sparkled with gold, "Okay, okay!"
"So, wife, can you focus on loving me now?"
The man instantly turned into a little spoiled husband, pouting his lips in grievance, "My husband is about to be suffocated."
"...How can it be so exaggerated?"
"some."
The man lifted her legs with a wicked smile, and fiddled with the silver bell on her ankle with his bony fingers.
"It sounds really nice. I wonder if it looks good when it's shaken. Honey, can you shake it for me?"
If she had known that he was planning to stay away for two days and two nights, Shen Yue would never have agreed.
Just when her escape failed for the Nth time, she finally became famous.
"Xiao Yuheng, you beast, do you still have any shame?"
The man was in high spirits, pressing his body against her back, pushing her against the window, and nibbling on her shoulder.
"My dear, it's almost done. I just need to... just bear with it for a little while longer."
Shen Yue believed it.
But he would finish for a while and then continue for a while, it would never end.
She could no longer hear anything, and her vision was blurry. Only the white fireworks kept exploding and blooming in her mind.
Before she had time to rest, the man went back on his word and picked her up.
"you……"
"When I said it was almost healed, I was referring to the last time. Now it's a new time."
“Wuwuwu…”
"What's wrong, wife?"
"I'm never going to wear this nightgown again."
"good."
The man lowered his eyes and kissed away her tears.
"Wear QQ underwear next time."
