Everyone looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.
Do you want to buy it? The product is good, but...
The emperor looked over and said, "This clock is very convenient, a must-have for home and travel."
Since he has personally advertised, what else can others do? Of course, they should show their support.
The Prime Minister was the first to respond and bought a small table clock worth 50,000 yuan and a pocket watch worth 10,000 yuan.
Those present were all high-ranking officials whose families were not short of money, so they started buying things.
It’s true that the craftsmanship of this watch is impeccable, with a three-dimensional carved glass case, an intricately crafted dial, and gold and rose gold with sapphire design. The elegance and noble temperament of this watch is very charming.
Pocket watches are easy to carry, and they also give people the illusion of being classy, as if owning a pocket watch makes you a noble upper-class person.
This feeling of pretending is too good.
Coupled with the store clerks' superb sales skills and enthusiastic service attitude, and Mu Wanqing's occasional encouragement, no one can escape the attack of top luxury goods.
Whatever others have, I must have. We are all people who want to save face, right?
The room full of various clocks was cleared out in an instant, much to the delight of the clerk.
The store manager was delighted. This was a great start. "Restock the stock quickly."
Mu Wanqing waited until all the court officials had finished their consumption and decided to move to another location, "Your Majesty, let's go to the next door and take a look."
"Walk."
Mu Wanqing winked at the store manager and glanced at the nobles guarding outside. These were all fat sheep. Go ahead and slaughter them. Don't be polite.
The store manager nodded in understanding, and after this wave of top bosses left, he would let these second-generation officials and powerful people in.
After this wave of people have consumed, will the wealthy businessmen and nobles who hear the news be far behind?
The court officials surrounded the emperor and went to the Fuxiang Pavilion. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a faint fragrance, which was indescribably comfortable.
The glittering glass shelves are filled with bottles and jars, with exquisite and high-end designs.
"What is this?" The emperor was a little curious.
Mu Wanqing introduced with a smile, "It's perfume, but it's a hundred times better than perfume. It's extracted from hundreds of kilograms of flowers, plus a variety of precious spices, to make up such a small bottle. It's very noble, and the Queen Mother likes it very much."
Queen Mother? The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. Was she taking the upper-class route?
The Prime Minister looked at her deeply. She usually never interfered in government affairs and just stayed in her office to look at the account books. Who would have thought that she had done such a big thing quietly.
The first move was a king bomb, and the results were amazing.
I just don't know, are these three stores registered under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Or are they registered under the name of the royal family?
The perfumes are available in trial packs, lined up for everyone to try.
Mu Wanqing picked up a bottle of perfume and sprayed it a few times. The fresh pine scent lingered in everyone's nose, smelling so good.
"I like the taste of this, I want a bottle." Du Shaoxuan was the first to speak, showing his cooperation and genuine love for it.
Spices are particularly expensive these days. Why?
The rich and powerful like to burn incense, so that they can smell the fragrance wherever they go, which distinguishes them from the common people.
Du Shaoxuan doesn't have such a habit, but using perfume to fumigate clothes occasionally is still a good choice.
The court officials who had just spent hundreds of thousands of dollars looked at the perfume worth thousands and thought it was not expensive at all.
What else to say? Just buy it.
These people don't buy by the bottle, but by the dozen.
The shop assistants were busy serving the VIPs. Mu Wanqing sat in the corner and watched with a smile on her face. She did not forget to take out some candy from her bosom and feed it to the eldest prince.
How could the eldest prince have seen these? His eyes were full of curiosity and confusion.
If you don’t understand, just ask. This is what your father said and this is what he did.
"Sister Qingping, did you make this perfume?" He knew that she made the watch.
Mu Wanqing put her index finger on her mouth, made a hushing gesture, and blinked her right eye, looking very clever.
The eldest prince smiled while holding a candy in his mouth. His father asked him to observe Princess Qingping and see what was different between her and others.
He now knew that Princess Qingping was very capable and could make a lot of strange things that could be sold for a lot of money.
So awesome!
The Prime Minister was also very powerful, but all the money in his pocket had been taken away by Princess Qingping.
Mu Wanqing waited until everyone had finished spending and then stood up again.
"This is a skin care product, divided into men's and women's, it can regulate the skin and make it white, tender and delicate..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the angry Cheng Engong, "We grown men don't need such sissy things. Only you women care about your appearance."
He kept calling her "woman" as if he was not born from a woman.
Mu Wanqing was a little annoyed by him. "The Book of Rites says: The beginning of etiquette is to straighten one's appearance, adjust one's complexion, and follow one's words. It starts with clothing and practices etiquette. Etiquette begins with straightening one's appearance and clothing." Note (1)
She could recite these scriptures fluently, which showed that she was also familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics.
She concluded, "This shows the importance of appearance. Being unkempt and smelly is not only disrespectful to others, but also a reflection of one's own lack of accomplishment."
She lashed out fiercely, and then added, "Oh, by the way, Lord Cheng'en, do you understand this?"
This blow to the heart made Lord Cheng En's face turn red with anger. What a stupid girl! She was so mean.
He was so angry that he couldn't speak. Mu Wanqing exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Don't understand? Oh my God, forget it, it's like playing the lute to a cow."
Jingyuan Hou, who was on good terms with Cheng En Gong, frowned and said, "Princess Qingping, you are only a third-rank official, and Cheng En Gong is the Queen's father. You are so arrogant and rebellious. Who gave you the confidence to do so?"
They are all nobles with titles in their families. They are also a force that cannot be ignored in the court and usually stick together.
Previously, the illegitimate son of Duke Cheng'en wanted to marry Princess Qingping, but was severely punished by the emperor. This matter was known to all civil and military officials in the court.
The Cheng'en Mansion did not dare to blame the emperor, but they bore a grudge against Mu Wanqing and would make trouble for her from time to time.
Mu Wanqing is not a pushover, she wrote everything down in her little notebook.
She raised her eyebrows and said lightly, "Why do you have to blame others for something else? Why not just point your finger at the emperor and blame him directly? I know you have been fed up with the emperor for a long time, so stop picking on him."
"Well, what can I do? Either I endure it or I leave."
Officials: ...still a mouth that spews venom.
Jingyuan Hou's face turned green, and he was angry and anxious, "You are talking nonsense, I didn't, Your Majesty, don't believe her."
Mu Wanqing had an expression that said, "I'm not going to say it, but I understand it, and everyone understands it." This made the two of them very angry, and they pointed at her nose and yelled.
Mu Wanqing seemed not to have heard and turned to look at the emperor. "Your Majesty, why don't you bring a set for the empress dowager and the concubines? A beautiful harem is also a treat for your eyes. Besides, more discussions on beauty and less palace fighting will benefit you, me and everyone else."
Everyone looked at the furious nobles, then looked at Princess Qingping who was enthusiastically promoting her products, and couldn't help but twitch their lips.
Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that this is totally not at the same level.
A smile flashed in the emperor's eyes, "Buy, buy all." These huge amounts of money will go into the national treasury, so why not do it.
Mu Wanqing smiled and praised him, "A good man is one who cares for his mother and wife. You are worthy of being our most beloved emperor. You have set an example in all matters big and small."
"My dear ministers, do you want to be good men? Then buy them. If you want to be a heinous villain, then ignore my words."
Courtier: ...If you ask who is the most scumbag in the world? If Mu Wanqing is second, no one dares to claim first.
They don't want to think of themselves as bad guys, but they also don't want to be led by Mu Wanqing.
The Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel glanced at his superior secretly and said, "I don't think my wives and concubines at home will like this."
Mu Wanqing smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I understand."
She laughed strangely, and the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel felt uneasy. "What do you understand?"
"To be honest, there is no woman in this world who doesn't love beauty." Mu Wanqing said nonsense seriously, "But since Lord Chen said so, we should be considerate of him and not expose the truth that he looks glamorous on the outside but is actually living beyond his means."
She said righteously, "We must have collegial love."
Faced with everyone's strange looks, Lord Chen wanted to strangle her to death. She said all the good and bad things about her. She was mean to others and yet she pretended to be a good person. How could you be so capable?
Could he admit defeat in front of the emperor and all the court officials?
You must not do that, otherwise how are you going to survive in the future?
“I want everything on the shelf.”
Mu Wanqing looked doubtful, "Master Chen, it is not advisable to pretend to be rich. Are you sure you can come up with enough silver?"
This is intolerable, and Lord Chen was furious. "Wrap it up for me quickly, and I will send someone home to get the silver."
You have to borrow even if you don’t have money!
Mu Wanqing was still worried and looked at him with sympathy and pity, "Well, you can regret it anytime."
It would have been better if she didn't say this. Once she said it, even if Lord Chen regretted it, he would still hold on to the end.
Not only Lord Chen was tricked, but everyone present was also tricked.
Everyone knows that she is using tricks, but no one can escape her tricks, which is cruel.
For the first time, they experienced the horror of being controlled by Mu Wanqing to spend money. This woman was so scary.
They spent every penny in the store.
No money? No problem, I can lend it to you at only 3% interest.
No one wants to borrow money, but she always finds a way to take money out of your pocket and naturally becomes your creditor!
Creditor! Who could have thought?
She has so many tricks and schemes that it's dizzying and you can easily get rid of them if you're not careful.
Seeing everyone gritting their teeth and feeling the pain, the emperor couldn't help but laugh and said, "Princess Qingping, please restrain yourself and don't offend others too much."
Mu Wanqing is a dead pig that is not afraid of heat. Anyway, all the civil and military officials in the court dislike her and try their best to drive her away, so she has no guilt at all for pulling their hair out.
"It's okay. I just like it when people hate me so much but still have to pay money obediently."
"I am still their creditor. If anyone dares to scold me, I will send someone to collect the debt. Believe me, compared to my ability to make money, my debt collection methods are more varied and more interesting. Who wants to give it a try?"
Everyone: ... Can't afford to offend! She has no shame, but they still have some!
Mu Wanqing took the eldest prince's hand and stood up, "Come on, let's go shopping next door."
The court officials are going crazy. Why won't they let them go? They are going to lose everything.
An official's face turned pale, and he no longer wanted to be dominated by Mu Wanqing.
"I... I'm too tired, so I won't go." He had no money in his pocket, so he borrowed one thousand taels of silver from Mu Wanqing.
Others echoed.
Mu Wanqing pouted and said, "Prince, this is your home court. These people are not giving you face. Write down their names in your little notebook."
The eldest prince stared at these officials with his pair of clear black and white eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved.
The officials almost knelt down before him. Who would dare to offend a prince who might inherit the throne? "I'm not tired, not at all. I have to go. Don't let anyone stop me."
Originally everyone thought that Mu Wanqing was just using a big name to deceive people, but after entering Qianzhen Pavilion, everyone realized the truth.
This is a toy house.
Look, there are castles made of building blocks, beautiful dolls, colorful picture books, drawing boards that can be reset at any time, movable wooden cars, wooden birds, plasticine, small ships, small wooden horses, and small whistles...
This is a paradise tailor-made for children.
Everyone's eyes widened as if a whole new world had opened up.
The eldest prince stared at the little train turning on the track with his eyes wide open. He ran over with his eyes shining and squatted beside it to take a closer look.
"Sister Qingping, what is this? Why is it spinning in circles by itself?"
Mu Wanqing squatted beside him, holding her chin and smiling, "It's a small train. If the eldest prince is interested, you can come and listen to the class after the technical school starts."
"You're still teaching me this?" The eldest prince was madly excited. How could Sister Qingping be so amazing? All the civil and military officials in the court couldn't compare to her.
Mu Wanqing easily gained a little fanboy, her eyes curved, "Well, these are all little tricks, I can teach you all of them. In this world, only if you are strong enough and capable enough, can you do whatever you want and crush all conspiracies and tricks without having to look at other people's eyes or suffer any grievances."
The eldest prince's face flushed with excitement, "Teach me, teach me, I want to learn, Sister Qingping, I want to be your student."
Du Shaoxuan looked at the shining woman and puffed out his chest proudly. This was the person he liked. So great.
The emperor's eyes were surprisingly bright, "My prince, you should learn from Princess Qingping. She is a very capable person."
"Yes, father." In the eldest prince's mind, Mu Wanqing, who could create so many novel gadgets, was a genius rarely seen in a century.
The officials around had flickering looks in their eyes, with unclear meanings.
They are thinking in their hearts that their own children must be sent to school.
If you fail the exam, go and ask the emperor for a place in the imperial court.
However, if this happens, his own son will fall into Mu Wanqing's hands. Otherwise, how about easing the relationship first?
It's really sad to be drained out and still have to please others.
