The Chi family are just businessmen; they wouldn't get involved in partisan disputes.
“Mother, the Crown Prince’s position is now at its zenith. If Qingqing gets closer to the Crown Princess and cultivates a good relationship, it will be for the good of our Chi family.”
Chi Ling'er said indifferently.
The old lady of the Chi family coughed violently in anger: "You, you're confused."
She was wrong all along. This daughter is becoming increasingly disobedient.
"You want to side with the Crown Prince, but have you thought about the future?"
"We are just an embroidery workshop. No matter how famous we become, we will still just be merchants. We just need to do business well."
"Oh, Mother, since you've entrusted everything to me, don't worry about it. It's only good for our Silk Pavilion if Qingqing gets along well with the Crown Princess."
"When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he can just give us a menu, and it will be enough for us to eat for a long time."
"But... Ling'er, are you so sure the Crown Prince will ascend the throne?"
Madam Chi looked at Chi Ling'er with disappointment.
This daughter is quite cunning, but ultimately she's not up to the task. If we were to hand over the entire Silk Pavilion to her, she'd probably squander it all sooner or later.
The fundamental reason why the Chi family has stood the test of time for so many years is that they do not participate in any particular school of thought.
They are just businessmen, and that's all they should do. As an embroidery workshop, making better embroidery is more important than anything else.
Unfortunately, Chi Ling'er still doesn't understand.
"Haha, Mother, are you joking? Now the Crown Prince's family is all-powerful. Besides the Crown Prince, which other prince can compete with him?"
"Don't worry, with Sixiu Pavilion in my hands, it will definitely flourish."
"Mother, stop meddling. Why don't you think about your Qiao'er instead?"
Without waiting for a reply from the old lady of the Chi family, Chi Ling'er hurriedly ran away.
If she can maintain a good relationship with the Crown Princess, she will have more face when she goes out.
Now that everyone knows, why aren't you all rushing to her place to take care of her?
In the past, Sixiu Pavilion was always overwhelmed with orders. At its peak, reservations had to be made more than six months in advance.
But recently, the embroidery shop hasn't had any business. It must be because the harvest is bad, and everyone is struggling to get enough to eat, so they rarely buy new clothes.
Chi Ling'er kept trying to convince herself. Little did she know that many people in the capital knew that the former glory of Sixiu Pavilion would probably be hard to come by again.
Unless the matriarch of the Chi family personally takes charge.
However, as everyone knows, the old lady of the Chi family has been in poor mental health since her youngest daughter went missing, and her unique embroidery skills have become even more difficult to display.
Embroidery is the ultimate test of one's character. Those who cannot calm their minds and are not at peace will not go far on the path of embroidery.
Unfortunately, Chi Ling'er, who was clever for most of her life, never understood this principle.
...
"Your Majesty, your skin is so beautiful, and your figure is so great. You look especially beautiful in any clothes."
Inside the Silk Pavilion, Chi Qingqing spoke ingratiatingly.
"Of course, Yao Yao is the most beautiful woman in the capital."
Yu Xiaoxiao was called out by the Crown Princess, and she was extremely excited.
She doesn't have a high status in her family. Some time ago, the Crown Princess ignored her, and her family members treated her with disdain.
It was common for them to mock her and cut her monthly allowance. She was angry at the time, but she didn't dare to retaliate.
Now that the Crown Princess has personally invited her out, she'll have to settle scores with those short-sighted people when she gets back.
"Yaoyao, I think you look better than before."
Yu Xiaoxiao's smile was genuine, her voice tinged with undisguised envy:
"If my skin were half as good as yours, I would be content."
"That's right, Your Highness, how do you usually take care of your skin?"
Chi Qingqing echoed this sentiment.
"It's nothing, I was born this way."
Mengyao proudly raised her head; she loved being flattered.
"That's true, Yao Yao is naturally beautiful."
Yu Xiaoxiao addressed Yao Yao, while Chi Qingqing could only refer to her as the Crown Princess.
Yu Xiaoxiao felt even more smug; she was still special in Mengyao's heart.
"Your Highness, look at this new style from our Silk Pavilion this year. This dress was even designed by my mother herself!"
Chi Qingqing pointed to a blue phoenix and crane brocade dress in the center, her face full of admiration:
"This was made by the embroiderers of our Silk Embroidery Pavilion over a period of nearly a month."
"Your Silk Embroidery Pavilion's previous embroidery pieces are all gone?"
After more than half a year, the inventory of this Silk Pavilion is not much.
"They were all sold off back then. Crown Princess, we couldn't even afford to eat at that time, there was nothing we could do."
They regretted it after selling it, because the price was too low.
It's all that bitch Qiu Zhen's fault, and that opportunistic Han Luoxue too.
"Was it Han Luoxue who received it?"
Upon hearing this name, Chi Qingqing was filled with rage:
"Yes, that's the woman."
“Your Highness, you don’t know, she’s colluding with Qiu Zhen, and we’ve all lost everything.”
Chi Qingqing said angrily.
"That bitch Han Luoxue." Speaking of Han Luoxue, Yu Xiaoxiao was also furious.
"Yaoyao, she caused your injury. When you see her again, you must not let her off easily."
"That's right, make her vomit up what she ate."
"Will you be able to see her?"
Seeing that both of them disliked Han Luoxue, Mengyao felt much better.
She had given those people advice, but so much time has passed and Han Luoxue is still alive and well.
She's just a vixen who only knows how to seduce men.
"this……"
