The half-elf had a grand dream: to sell the clothes he made to elves and have them admire and praise them.
Qin Yiyi was shocked by the half-elf's boldness and curious about where her confidence came from.
The half-elf took out his portfolio.
“You see, when I was in the Eternal City, I worked at the largest clothing chain store there. The best-selling items were all my creations. But I am just a half-elf and do not deserve to have my name on the creations. So all my creations are attributed to other designers. I was not content with that, so I came to your territory. Under your rule, I quickly saw hope.”
Qin Yiyi nodded; she understood what the girl meant.
"But what if these elves find out that the clothes were designed by you, a half-elf, and they refuse to wear them?"
She said confidently, "Elves are a race that loves beauty. At least half of an elf's monthly salary is spent on dressing up. Regardless of gender, they dress themselves up, decorate their houses, and decorate everything. After I leave, there will definitely be no suitable designer in the elven capital for a while. Even if there is, they will compare. I believe that even if my half-elf name and identity are mentioned, their pursuit of beauty will still drive them to buy my work!"
She sounded a little nervous, but also confident.
Qin Yiyi touched her chin.
"That's easy. As long as there are people who like your stuff, I can just find someone to stir things up!"
Within the Elf Capital, information is spread that this celebrity has worn it, that celebrity has worn it, and sure enough, some people will think, "If celebrities are wearing it, not everyone will boycott half-elves." This way, the product can easily enter the market. Later, when they find out that the celebrity claims were false, and they've already bought it and find it beautiful and attractive, they'll have no choice but to wear it. And to avoid being the only one falling for it, they'll become enthusiastic promoters.
That's how business battles are.
If all else fails, she could even get the Eternal Duke of the Eternal City to wear the clothes and advertise. If the powerful are wearing them, what else can the rest resist?
Thinking this way, she could almost picture a large amount of gold coins flowing into her pocket.
"Do a good job, I believe you will succeed. Your target customers are not in our territory, they are all in the Eternal City, among the elves!"
"By the way, in your spare time you can also think about turning your own designs into a logo, so you won't have to worry about others copying your designs. Also, the Eternal City is just one goal. You can also make clothes for the Titans, design for mermaids, and for the bird race. You know that nowadays these special races all have to have their clothes custom-made!"
Because of their height and the abnormalities in certain parts of their bodies, they all have to have their clothes custom-made. She only found out this when she saw those orcs haggling in front of the clothing shop during the winter.
The tail needs to be kept warm, the wings need to be kept warm, and some even require the horns on their heads to wear extra hats.
Looking at the morning market, Qin Yiyi was quite satisfied. Suddenly, Sid rushed over and whispered in her ear, "News has come from the capital!"
Immediately afterwards, Qin Yiyi saw the fat man she hadn't seen for several months.
"Yiyi, it's my sister! My sister is about to give birth!"
Qin Yiyi frowned and counted the days. It was only the beginning of the ninth month, and her due date hadn't arrived yet. How could this be?
"What exactly happened?"
Inside the lord's manor
The fat man looked at Qin Yiyi and hurriedly took a sip of water.
"The Queen has found out about my sister's affair!"
The fat man was very excited. The Queen's family was powerful and wealthy, and the birth of this child would definitely threaten her position. Not to mention that the child was not yet born and could result in the death of both mother and child, even if the child was born, it would be impossible to guard against the Queen's actions. Of course, Ald was afraid.
Is your sister busy right now?
Old shook his head: "Everything's fine now, but..."
"Your sister is already nine months pregnant. It's only a matter of time before it's discovered. It would be good if it were discovered after birth, but it's not a big deal if it's discovered in the ninth month. Your sister has been by Peter the Great's side for several years now, and she certainly has her own methods. You don't need to worry about that. Besides, the Queen might not necessarily make a move against your sister at this time."
"What you should be worried about now is Peter the Great's attitude after the child is born!"
"Compared to the Queen, the most important thing now is the Emperor's attitude!"
Ald was a little confused.
"My sister went through so much hardship to give birth to her child, does he really expect her to leave the baby behind after the birth?"
Alder wasn't really stupid. He sat down on the stool at the table and gripped his cup tightly. "My sister was born into a difficult situation. If the child is given to the Queen to raise, the Queen won't have to lift a finger. She'll get a child for free, solidify her position, and get rid of a mistress. It's a win-win situation!"
His poor sister was nothing more than a tool for getting pregnant.
He originally thought that it would be safer after the baby was born, but now it seems that his sister is safer while the baby is still inside her.
"If necessary, we can give up this child, but you must ensure my sister's safety!" Although Old is not very bright and has only achieved what he has today thanks to his sister's care, the bond between the siblings is undeniable.
"Don't worry, the child is safe until it is born." If the emperor has other intentions, he will either die from postpartum hemorrhage, or the child will be fine after a month, but the mother will die from illness due to weakness, making way for the queen.
"But the baby's due date is at most two weeks away, so does that mean my sister is only safe for these two weeks?"
Qin Yiyi lowered her eyes, seemingly unintentionally, yet also as if reminding Ald.
"If my father could be found in the spring, surely Earl Ye Qin's goddaughter wouldn't have been forced to give up her mother and keep her child."
Olde was taken aback. In reality, his sister's relationship with Qin Yiyi wasn't deep; she only had a slight connection to the four pillar cities through Qin Yiyi's influence, like a very distant relative. But if his sister were to become an adopted daughter of Earl Ye Qin, it would be a different story. A general wielding real power, an earl's status comparable to a marquis, even the emperor was wary of him—the goddaughter of a powerful general…
"I've already spoken to the Princess Consort. My father has been imprisoned for three years, and Prince Flame was undoubtedly involved in some of that. If the Princess Consort is willing to uphold justice and eliminate her own family ties, her son will naturally remain unaffected and secure his position as Prince." Although the Princess Consort has a strained relationship with the Prince, she has carefully considered bringing him down. If it weren't for the affair and the mistress's pregnancy, the Princess Consort probably wouldn't have agreed so quickly. Now...
The princess is already on the same side as them.
