Chapter 102: Big deal!
"It's a good thing, but it's a bit cold, though I like it very much!"
He was waiting for those three words: 'I like it very much'.
Gu Pingsheng was right; what he set his sights on was definitely not wrong.
Sure enough, three days later.
This toilet became an instant hit in the palace.
Especially for those who are already pregnant, it's like sitting on a cloud.
Unfortunately, Gu Pingsheng only brought back 30 items, and many people's palaces didn't even have them.
He did it on purpose.
He wanted to create this kind of famine-driven trade.
If even a concubine can use it, then everyone else will definitely follow suit.
That's exactly what he valued.
The imperial concubine immediately bestowed the reward.
She also said that the person who made the toilet was a genius.
Gu Pingsheng briefly mentioned this matter: "Actually, the person who made this toilet was a young lady. Your Highness should remember that all the fine items you used were made by her father."
"This young lady recently managed to control the floods. Yuxiang County was once one of the poorest counties, ranking near the bottom. She single-handedly saved it. She's truly a miraculous person!"
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Concubine realized it was the same merchant surnamed Su from before.
But after that merchant died, he was never heard of again. Unexpectedly, it was his descendant, Su Jingge, who took up his mantle.
Now that young lady has started doing business again, she will definitely be able to get her goods!
He immediately ordered: "Buy it in bulk!"
The Imperial Concubine, upon mentioning this, recalled Yuxiang County…
She frowned. "You mean Yuxiang County? Is that An Wanyu's fiefdom?"
“Not bad!” Gu Pingsheng said.

A few days later, Su Jingge received a letter from Chang'an.
The group of friends were thrilled and cheered with joy.
He urged Su Jingge to open it quickly, eager to know what good news it was.
Su Jingge smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't rush me."
After opening the letter.
It was written by Gu Pingsheng, and his official seal was also affixed to it.
The gist of it is that the imperial concubine really liked her flush toilet, which set off a new trend in the palace.
Furthermore, his brief mention of his father quickly reminded the Consort that many of the palace's finest items came from his father.
The Imperial Concubine also realized that he was under the Princess's command, and he sent a letter to Princess Yongzhu, telling her to support his cause.
Upon seeing this, Su Jingge couldn't help but frown.
This is terrible!
Although she sold the flush toilets well, the Imperial Concubine also learned that it was Princess Yongzhu who was behind it, and Princess Yongzhu hated her the most.
Every time I see myself, I feel like I want to tear myself apart.
Now she has established such great abilities in the palace.
Princess Yongzhu must be furious!
It wasn't that she was afraid of An Wanyu; it was just that she was currently preoccupied with many trivial matters and genuinely had no intention of devoting any more time to dealing with An Wanyu.
Meanwhile, her friends also noticed her expression.
Qingyue said, "Wait a minute, everyone stop laughing. Now that we've got our letters, An Wanyu must have received the Imperial Concubine's letter too!"
“That An Wanyu is extremely jealous. If she finds out that Miss has gained such a great deal of attention in front of the noble people, she will definitely make trouble for us!”
"Moreover, An Wanyu is most adept at stealing credit from others. If she knew that Miss had sold the toilet to the palace, she would probably say that it was created by her own people under her management."
"Now that I think about it, her confinement period is almost over..." Qingyue looked at Su Jingge, a hint of worry in her eyes. "Miss, do you think we should send someone to keep an eye on them?"
Su Jingge closed the letter and handed it to Xiao Linyuan.
"No need. If someone really wants to harm me, they will come sooner or later. Even if I try to guard against them, they will still do it."
"Let's deal with it as it comes. For now, let's not worry about those things. The most important thing right now is that the palace has requested 500 toilets of various sizes. That's no small number, so let's focus all our efforts on making these toilets."
"This is the first thing to be affected!"
"This order is perfect; who knows, we might just become imperial merchants!"
"As for An Wanyu, let her be."
An Wanyu is, after all, a princess; even if she wanted to stop them, she would have to be able to.
-
Meanwhile, on the other side...
An Wanyu was pacing back and forth in the mansion. She had sent several maids over, but since she was placed under house arrest, Xiao Ziyu had visited her less often.
She wanted to invite the person to her residence; if her husband accompanied her, it would be a good thing during her confinement.
Unfortunately, An Wanyu did not receive Xiao Ziyu's message; instead, a servant came to report that a letter had arrived.
"Princess, this is a letter from Chang'an. Would you like to take a look?"
Disappointed and frustrated, An Wanyu had no time to read the letter from Chang'an.
Besides, what relatives does she have in Chang'an?
"I don't want to look! I don't want to look!" she said irritably, throwing fish food into the lake repeatedly.
He loved watching the fish, because they would gather together and fight over the little bit of food.
The feeling of being surrounded by people gave her a sense of pleasure.
The maid didn't leave, but paused and reminded her again: "Princess... this seems to mention the Imperial Concubine."
An Wanyu instantly flashed a sharp look in her eyes: "Even you're not listening to me anymore?? I said I won't look, are you deaf?!"
The servant turned pale and hurriedly knelt down, saying, "This servant wouldn't dare!"
The maidservant, flustered, hurriedly tried to retreat, but then heard An Wanyu's voice:
"Wait...you just said...the Imperial Concubine??"
"Let me see it!"
This glance was all it took; she was already quite annoyed, and now, after reading it, she was furious beyond measure.
"You little slut, Su Jingge, you actually sold good stuff to Chang'an behind my back, and even entered the palace and gained the favor of that imperial concubine."
This letter was written by the Maritime Trade Commissioner.
The above means that such a talented person has emerged in her fiefdom, and she is asked to supervise and urge the timely completion of the production of 500 flush toilets!
She was so angry that her lips twitched. Su Jingge had gone to great lengths to fawn over the Imperial Concubine!
"Shameless thing, how dare you steal my thunder!"
The maid beside her, however, shifted her gaze and said, "Princess... I actually think this is a good thing?"
"Princess, think about it. Does the Consort think that it's because you've governed the county so well that your servants are motivated to do so?"
An Wanyu thought calmly for a moment: "So, the letter means that I'm to supervise this shipment?"
"Then you have the authority to supervise the exercise of your powers, but what will happen to Su Jingge if this item isn't delivered?"
