"Even if she accompanies the Emperor to war and conquers the Western Yao Kingdom, wouldn't it still be the same to bring their princess into the palace?"
"Sister Su, do you think that after the princess enters the palace, she will immediately start fighting with the Empress?"
After all, she was a princess who was pampered and precious at home. If it weren't for the Empress, she wouldn't have had to travel so far to marry a foreign prince.
"Heh, then it's up to them, isn't it?"
Su Xiaoman sneered: "The fiercer the two of them fight, the better. I'm a little curious to see who will come out on top in the end?"
Xu Lingyi laughed along. She knew without a doubt that the princess was not someone to be trifled with. If she were really a little lamb, how could the emperor of Xiyao Kingdom have sent her here?
As for the Empress... in the past, everyone defined her as a country girl, but after several encounters, it's clear this woman is no simpleton. At the very least, she managed to make them suffer losses time and time again.
Just like the celebration banquet that day, although the rankings of the performances were auctioned off and these people spent money, the emperor didn't choose any of them.
"That would be a good thing!" Once the princess enters the palace and sets this precedent, the emperor will have no choice but to take concubines.
"By the way, shall we go and take a look at Sixiu Pavilion?" Xu Lingyi sneered.
She used to think she was high and mighty, but she never expected that the woman in Sixiu Pavilion was actually the Empress's mother. She felt that she had been deceived.
Su Xiaoman nodded; she also wanted to go and take a look.
I really don't know what's so great about that woman; her daughter actually managed to meet the emperor.
The two went to the Silk Pavilion together, only to find it more lively than usual.
Yunniang was originally embroidering inside, but today all the people who came were young ladies from noble families, who had come because of her reputation.
"Madam Han, are you still embroidering yourself?" a woman in her forties asked eagerly.
Yunniang smiled faintly. At first, she felt a little flustered when she saw so many people, but she quickly calmed down.
She's just a businesswoman, and her daughter is the current empress. They haven't done anything illegal, so what's there to worry about?
“Embroidery is something I enjoy. I’m always bored at home, so I come out to do some work.”
Yunniang smiled faintly, and the lady stepped forward and warmly took her hand: "Madam Han, we hit it off immediately. I never imagined you would be so young and beautiful!"
Upon hearing this, Yunniang's smile widened even more: "Oh dear, this is all thanks to my daughter!"
The woman, surnamed Liu, looked at Yunniang with surprise: "Your daughter?"
Yunniang smoothed her hair behind her ear and smiled happily, "Yes, you don't know how sensible and filial my daughter is!"
“We used to live in the countryside. You know, in the village, everyone farms. We were in the soil every day, and our faces got all tanned. My hands were also very rough!”
Yunniang held out her delicate, jade-like hands. Her hands were truly beautiful now, even more so than the hands of some young women.
Mrs. Liu was extremely envious and even reached out to touch it. Those soft little hands were truly enviable.
Yunniang felt a little awkward and withdrew her small hand: "Back then, my hands were very rough, but my daughter saw some prescriptions in a book and started preparing medicine. In addition, we met some people and got some grain. We earned some money from the grain, and our family's conditions improved. We were then able to take care of our face and hands!"
"Let me tell you, we women, no matter how old we are, should pay attention to our faces and hands, especially our faces. Don't be fooled by my face now, which looks quite young. If it weren't for my daughter making me face masks every day, I don't know how ugly I would look now!"
Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up; all women are powerless against beautiful clothes and pretty faces.
"Your daughter can even make face masks? What are face masks?"
I remember there was a shop in Beijing that seemed to sell something called a face mask, but unfortunately she never used it.
I heard that stuff isn't cheap, and I don't know if it's effective!
"Yes, my daughter made a face mask for me, and it works amazing! It's different from the ones sold in stores; it was specially formulated for my face!"
Even Madam Liu was envious. Why didn't she have such a wonderful girl?
Does your daughter go out often?
In the past, women in the palace could not leave the palace at will. Even the Empress had to go through extremely complicated procedures to leave.
"Actually, I don't come out very often. Sometimes it's once a day, and sometimes it's once every few days!"
The woman's lips twitched violently. She began to doubt whether the woman Yunniang was talking about was really the current empress. Are empresses always this idle?
"But doesn't your daughter have two children? Don't you need her to look after them?"
Although there are many palace servants, none of them can compare to the care of one's own mother!
"You mean those people in the palace?" Yunniang smiled. "Actually, my daughter also wants to take care of them herself, but unfortunately, the child's grandparents won't let her go. They leave the child with them every day, and compared to them, the two children are closer to my daughter!"
Madam Liu's teeth ached; this...this life didn't feel like that of the palace at all.
Several young women nearby felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this.
They also wanted an emperor like that, an empress dowager and an emperor emeritus like that!
"By the way, you know that face mask shop in Beijing? My daughter researched it, and it works pretty well. If you're interested, you can go check it out! If it doesn't work, it's free!"
Madam Liu... she really is just a country girl, she never forgets to make money!
But why did she feel inexplicably envious?
Su Xiaoman watched with envy. This Silk Pavilion was already quite profitable, and after reopening, all the custom-made dresses had already been snapped up.
The clothes in the store now are all mid-range, and the styles are a bit ordinary, but they are still much better than the clothes in the general embroidery shops.
Another face mask shop, which is also said to be a health and wellness shop, is also very popular.
How come Han Luoxue is so good at making money?
"And there's also the Le'an Mountain Villa not far away, which my daughter designed herself. In your free time, you can go up the mountain to pick fruit and eat freshly picked fruit. You can also soak in the hot springs at the foot of the mountain and have a big meal. If you want to relax, you can make a reservation in advance!"
Mrs. Liu... she tried to make an appointment before, but it didn't work out!
Su Xiaoman… that resort is really profitable; I heard bookings are booked three or four months in advance. At the time, I only heard it was run by the Zhou family; I never imagined the Empress herself was involved!
