Damn it, how can I see this if I don't come in?
Qingzhu held the door open, only her flushed face showing. Hearing the emperor's urging, she spoke coquettishly.
"But, this servant is ashamed..."
Wearing it all the way here, Qingzhu was so embarrassed she almost fainted halfway there.
"What are you shy about? I command you, come in right now!"
Finally, under the domineering command, Qingzhu couldn't wait any longer and walked in.
Qin Yu commissioned the Shangfu Division to design what would later become the classic off-the-line business attire!
She wore a well-fitting, straight-cut business skirt, which was tailored very well by the fashion company, with smooth lines.
Qingzhu's exquisite figure was on full display. The neckline design revealed her delicate collarbone.
The dress perfectly accentuated her slender waist and elegant curves, striking a balance between solemnity and allure. The slightly tapered hemline revealed her long, shapely legs, exuding both elegance and competence.
Although Qingzhu's appearance wasn't as breathtakingly beautiful as the Zhao sisters or Sima Jing, she was still a standard beauty—classic, pretty, and pleasing to the eye. However, she often wore a thick Taoist robe, making her easily overlooked in a crowd.
Wearing an A-line skirt, the simple design and the high-quality fabric specially selected by Shangfusi made Qingzhu look both capable and showed off her unique feminine softness and charm.
To be honest, Qin Yu never imagined that this girl would be so charming, and also quite well-endowed!
With her eyes wide open, she looked him up and down. Coming from the Qingzhu Taoist Temple, she couldn't stand being stared at like that by this man. She covered her chest with one small hand and her jade-like legs with the other, her head practically touching the ground!
"His Majesty……"
Qin Yu swallowed hard, finally snapping out of his daze as he was called out. He then laughed heartily and said with satisfaction, "Not bad, very good!"
Classics last forever, and the off-the-shoulder skirt will never be forgotten!
If we add some high-end stuff then, those men who go shopping with their wives and daughters will probably be even more eager to go in than the women!
This one-piece skirt alone sets it apart from other cosmetic shops.
"Don't just stand there, take a look for yourself!"
Qin Yu thoughtfully allowed her to admire herself in front of the bronze mirror in the study.
At first, Qingzhu felt ashamed. Whose good woman would come out with her bare legs?
But after sneaking a few peeks, she was completely shocked.
She couldn't even imagine that the alluring figure and beautiful face reflected in the bronze mirror, comparable to that of the concubines in the imperial harem, were actually her own!
Embarrassing as it may be, I must say this outfit is really beautiful and quite suitable for more formal occasions.
Seeing that she was satisfied, Qin Yu smiled and waved his hand.
"Do you like it? If you do, I'll give it to you. From now on, all the servants in the workshop will wear this, and it must be made from the finest materials!"
The latter was filled with gratitude and stood there in a daze.
When she first heard the emperor's reform methods, she thought they were absurd. But after thinking about it for so long, she realized that while they were bold, they did have some merit.
In any case, the Women's Lifestyle Store is significantly different from other cosmetic shops!
A hint of anticipation flickered in her beautiful eyes; at that moment, she was finally captivated by the emperor's ingenious idea.
When she looked at Qin Yu, her expectant eyes already held a hint of hope.
"Your Majesty, I believe this lifestyle store will most likely be a success, and its business will certainly be booming!"
"Of course!" Qin Yu replied confidently.
Bringing the management methods and strategies of later generations into this era—isn't that a game-changer?
How could it possibly fail?
In this way, the lifestyle stores can provide them with a steady stream of money, which can even serve as a pillar of their wealth. On the other hand, when these lifestyle stores have spread everywhere and are even able to expand beyond the capital, they can also become underground transportation hubs for the Blood Droplets.
With the communication network in place, he, the emperor, was able to receive the latest news with the fastest efficiency of the time!
Qin Yu was overjoyed and couldn't contain her excitement.
However, Sima Lie on the other side was in a terrible predicament.
On the desk, battle reports from the front lines piled up like a mountain. The Xiongnu's retaliation came so quickly, and just like their harsh words, it was like a sudden storm, completely catching everyone off guard.
In just a few days, Xiong Ba suffered heavy losses and was struggling to hold on.
After tidying his messy hair, Sima Lie slumped into the armchair, closed his eyes, and asked.
"How is Sima Jing doing? Has she told the tyrannical emperor and empress about their collusion with other men?"
"Yes!" the steward reported truthfully. "Just now, she sent word from the palace that the emperor is completely infatuated with her, and after she told him, he reacted violently and was furious!"
"very good!"
Sima Lie then managed to force a smile.
As long as Zhao Lan dies, the Zhao family's influence in the imperial court will be further diminished!
If Sima Jing is then reinstated, many ministers and generals will sense the shift in the political climate and turn to support him.
He had already decided that when Zhao Lan met with Zhao Jian again to hand over the mission, he would solidify the serious crime of colluding with an outsider and take the opportunity to ensure that this woman would never be able to recover!
They could even take advantage of the emperor's anger to directly strike at the Zhao family!
This plan was originally Qiu Beiming's idea. Standing to the side, how could he not know Sima Lie's intentions? He sneered and said in a sinister tone.
"Prime Minister, Eunuch Wang Zhen has been keeping a close watch on us day and night. He reported at noon today that the Empress's palace suddenly had its doors and windows tightly closed, and that Zi Yan has been secretly loitering around the Imperial Garden!"
"The intention is obvious. Zhao Lan is probably going to leave the palace to meet with Zhao Jian again. We'll catch her red-handed! No matter what she's doing, the Empress has left the palace without permission to meet with a man outside the palace, defiling the palace. Her entire family should be executed!"
"We don't even need to lift a finger; the Emperor will make her suffer a terrible death!"
......
"Ouch! Don't be so rough, be gentle."
"Yes, yes, it must be gentler."
"Achoo!"
While Qin Yu was personally instructing Qingzhu and Yangtao on massage techniques and care skills, he suddenly sneezed.
"That's strange. In broad daylight, would anyone think that about me?"
The two women, dressed in off-the-shoulder business attire, knelt down, their small hands constantly kneading Qin Yu's head and neck. When he suddenly sneezed, the two women stopped, and Yang Tao asked with concern.
"Your Majesty, are you unwell? Is your health not good?"
Knowing that he was alright, Qin Yu praised him repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, yes! That's the kind of service attitude we need. When customers come in for a massage, they are the most important thing. Good massage techniques are one aspect, but the most important thing is to make them feel comfortable and satisfied."
"This kind of care and consideration is excellent. We must make customers feel the warmth and care of a gentle spring breeze, so that they will want to come back a second time!"
