The queen sent her personal nanny to help Li Yun maintain order.
With Nanny Du around, the young ladies and ladies did not dare to act presumptuously. Nanny Du would not leave until 12 o'clock.
"Princess, I have to go back to the palace to report. The Queen misses you very much and hopes that you can come to the palace as soon as possible." Nanny Du saluted Li Yun.
"Madame Du, you can't do this. I'm not even a princess yet, I can't take it! Please inform the Empress that I will go to the palace to express my gratitude in a few days." Li Yun didn't expect that the Empress would send a personal nanny to help her, and she appreciated the kindness.
"Okay, I will wait for the princess in the palace." said Nanny Du.
"Princess, let me say something. The Queen actually hopes that you can enter the palace with the prince. I have seen the prince grow up, and I know his character well. He has always been allergic to women, and he always has a look on his face that says, 'Don't approach strangers.' Any woman who wants to get close to him will be exiled with her entire family by the prince. The prince really likes you." Nanny Du couldn't help but say something when she thought that the Queen had been worried about the prince these days.
"Has the prince not entered the palace to see the emperor and empress yet?" Li Yun asked Nanny Du.
"No, he probably wants to go with the princess!" Nanny Du answered truthfully.
"I understand. After I finish my work at Jinxiufang, I will go to the palace with the prince to express my gratitude.
"Oh, Madam Du, wait a minute. I have a gift for the Empress." Li Yun made a Hundred Birds dress for the Empress. It was handmade with silk and Xuefang. Ye Shan and Chen Mei brought four embroiderers to embroider the dress, which took three days to complete. The fabric and silk thread were all purchased on Haoduoduo. The fabric was enhanced with a material that changes color when exposed to fire or sunlight, making the hundreds of birds in the Hundred Birds dress look lifelike, as if they were really flying. When the dress was finished, Ye Shan, Chen Mei, and the others saw the phenomenon and were stunned. How could such a magical thing exist in the world?
Li Yun took out a box and handed it to Madam Du, then took out a stack of silver notes and gave them to Madam Gui, which was worth ten thousand taels. Madam Du was so frightened that she quickly refused. Under Li Yun's repeated requests, Madam Du had to accept one thousand taels, and also accepted a set of skirts that Li Yun gave her. She happily returned to the palace with the gifts to report.
They were busy until the evening hour. Li Yun asked Manager Cui to close the restaurant and asked Guangze to calculate today's turnover. She then took everyone to Huimin Restaurant for dinner.
"Sister-in-law, sister, these are skirts for you." Li Yun took out two boxes containing skirts custom-made for them. These were embroidered by Chen Mei and the embroiderers before the opening.
"This is the skirt my sister gave us. We are so happy." Ding Xiang and Ouyang Minghui said excitedly.
"Yes, go in and try it out to see if it fits." Li Yun said to the two.
Ouyang Minghui and Dingxiang went into the room to change clothes, and their maids followed them in to help their masters change clothes.
When the two put on their skirts, they were praised by their personal maids, who all said that the lady (young lady) was so beautiful. Dingxiang and Ouyang Minghui were also shocked by themselves in the mirror. Is this elegant and beautiful woman themselves?
Dingxiang's is a peony-patterned Liuxian dress, and Ouyang Minghui's is a butterfly-orchid-patterned Liuxian dress.
When Dingxiang and Ouyang Minghui appeared in front of Li Yun, Li Yun was stunned. She did not expect that Dingxiang could control Peony so perfectly. She looked like an elegant lady in that dress.
When Ouyang Minghui puts on a skirt, she looks like a butterfly fairy left in the human world, both cute and naughty.
“哇，大嫂和妹妹真漂亮，连我都看呆了，如果我是男子，肯定把大嫂和妹妹都娶回家。”李云戏谑地说，她的脸上都是一副痞痞的样子，简直是欠揍。
"Aunt, how could you do this?" Dingxiang felt embarrassed by what Li Yun said and said shyly.
"Sister, you are so bad for making fun of me. I won't play with you anymore." Ouyang Minghui felt embarrassed and quickly ran back to her room to change.
"What can't be done, sister-in-law? It's still like this." Li Yun teased Dingxiang and touched her all over.
"Little aunt, you, I won't play with you anymore." Dingxiang said and ran back to her room to change clothes. The maid followed her in with a blushing face. She thought the little aunt was too terrible. She was not shy to tease the lady.
"Hahahaha!" Li Yun burst into laughter. It was so funny. How could ancient people be so cute? They got shy just by talking. Li Yun thought that teasing his sister-in-law and younger sister could help him eliminate today's fatigue.
Dingxiang and Ouyang Minghui felt even more embarrassed when they heard the laughter, and they didn't dare to go out to see anyone.
After Dingxiang and Ouyang Minghui came out, Li Yun returned to normal and took everyone to Huimin Restaurant for dinner, as if the previous incident had never happened.
Halfway through the meal, Guangze came over and told Li Yun that the total income today was 2.8 million taels. This number shocked everyone. Li Yun asked Guangze to give bonuses to everyone. Except for Guangze's 200 taels and Chen Mei's 200 taels, the rest of the people got 100 taels each. This made everyone very happy.
One hundred taels is an astronomical figure for them, and for ordinary people, it is something they can never earn in their lifetime.
After dinner, Dingxiang and Ouyang Minghui said goodbye, and Li Yun took Chen Mei back to the Chen family mansion.
For two consecutive days, Li Yun went to help and was busy until dark before returning.
"Yun'er, are you up yet?" Li Yun had just gotten up when he heard Qin Lanlan's voice.
"Get up, mom, is there anything wrong?" My mother-in-law came over as soon as it was dawn, so there must be something wrong.
"Yun'er, Prince Jin just sent someone to say that the imperial edict has arrived today, and asked us to go to Prince Jin's mansion to receive it." Qin Lanlan said to Li Yun.
"Why don't you receive the imperial edict here? Why go to Prince Jin's Mansion?" Li Yun asked puzzledly.
Before, she had to receive the imperial edict at Prince Jin’s Mansion because she had not bought the courtyard. Now that she has bought the courtyard, why should she still receive the imperial edict at Prince Jin’s Mansion?
"I don't know about that, Yun'er, let's go there after breakfast!" Qin Lanlan didn't know the reason either.
"Okay, I'll change my clothes and go out." Li Yun said.
Qin Lanlan went over to wake Dabao and the others up. When everyone got up and went to the dining room, breakfast was already ready.
"Mom, grandma told us to go to Prince Jin's Mansion to receive the imperial edict. The emperor wants to confer the title of princess on mom. Is that true?" Sanbao asked Li Yun happily when he saw him.
"Mom is not very clear about this either. Since it was Uncle Shangguan who sent someone to tell her, it should be correct. Let's go over after breakfast." Li Yun was not sure. Although her eldest brother and second brother said so, and her uncle and great-uncle also said so, she was still not sure without seeing the imperial edict in person.
"Okay, let's have breakfast quickly and go to Prince Jin's Mansion early. We can't let the imperial edict wait for us. This is a crime of great disrespect and the whole family will be punished." Chen Mo asked everyone to have breakfast and not let the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict wait for them, otherwise it would be considered a crime of great disrespect.
Everyone began to wolf down their breakfast. After cleaning up, Chen Mo took his family to the Prince of Jin's Mansion to receive the imperial edict.
