Chapter 255 Using the Old Emperor
Lan Yan agreed immediately, and the two agreed to enter the palace the day after tomorrow. Mo Yunzhu quickly said goodbye and went to buy things.
This time she wanted to give the emperor something new and interesting, which would make him feel good and treat Jun Huolan better. Of course, she also wanted to make good use of the old emperor.
She returned to the general's mansion and spent more time with her parents, knowing that Chang Qing came to see her.
"My lady, the prince sent a message saying that he has been tracking Zhuo Hongli's men and found that they were in contact with Eunuch Fan in the palace. The prince guessed that it was because Zhuo Hongli wanted to know the cause of Bai Ziya's death, but it's not a big problem."
Mo Yunzhu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Zhuo Hongli is leaving Qingyun anyway, so Bai Ziya is not that important to him. Besides, even if he guesses that it was the prince who did it, he won't touch the prince. After all, he still needs me to comfort him."
Chang Qing nodded, and then said, "This time, the prince sent Long San and Long Si to follow Fan Fengze and his sister, and Zhuo Hongli sent his grandson uncle to protect them. The prince meant that if there is a chance, we should get rid of the grandson uncle first. In this way, there will be one less old man among Zhuo Hongli's four friends."
"The prince has thought it through carefully. He hopes that Long San and Long Si will succeed." The poison that poisoned Fan Fengze, the disfiguring drug that poisoned Fan Mingzhu, and the love potion were all made by Mo Yunzhu.
"The eldest lady has prepared so much for them, there shouldn't be any problem." When Chang Qing thought of the package that the eldest lady had given to the prince before, the coldness on her pretty face made him feel a little scared.
Fan Fengze and Fan Mingzhu will definitely have a miserable life in the future.
The days passed in preparation, and when it was time for Lan Yan and Mo Yunzhu to enter the palace, Mo Yunzhu asked Yuan Qing to carry a basket.
When the emperor heard that Mo Yunzhu had entered the palace, his mood immediately improved visibly and he quickly called her in.
"Your Majesty, this is a little toy that Yunzhu made for you. I hope you like it." Mo Yunzhu handed the things in the basket to Eunuch Gao.
Eunuch Gao saw a picture album and something like a long pen holder inside.
The emperor opened the picture album and saw that it was full of pictures of beauties. His eyes lit up. Moreover, the clothes the beauties were wearing were something he had never seen before. They looked particularly novel and beautiful.
"Your Majesty, these are the pictures I drew of ten beauties. However, what is important is not the beauties themselves, but the clothes they are wearing. Do you think these clothes are beautiful?"
The emperor stared at her intently, saying, "Yunzhu, your painting skills are getting better and better. You paint beauties so vividly. This dress is really beautiful. Wearing it makes you look like a fairy."
In fact, the clothes that Mo Yunzhu painted are all skirts. After all, she cannot paint modern clothes. Instead, she has to paint clothes that conform to this dynasty. However, she modified them to make them look better. For example, the woman’s waist can be perfectly presented, and the long skirt can better show the woman’s long legs.
Then there are the collars, all kinds of collars, some are slightly open and painted with all kinds of exquisite bead chains, which complement each other.
"Your Majesty, please take another look at that tube." Mo Yunzhu said with a smile.
The emperor picked it up and found that it was not a pen holder, but one with both sides sealed and a hole on one side.
"Your Majesty, look through that hole." Mo Yunzhu said, "This thing is called a kaleidoscope."
"This, isn't this something children should play with?" The emperor looked at Eunuch Gao.
Eunuch Gao laughed and said, "There are indeed such things among the people, but they are not as big as this. I guess Miss Mo thinks the emperor is still young."
The emperor burst into laughter, but when he looked inside, he immediately let out a wow sound.
Mo Yunzhu covered her mouth and laughed. Eunuch Gao was surprised and asked, "Your Majesty, what did you see?"
"Yun Zhu, you, you are so clever." The emperor continued to look, while his hands were still turning.
"It's just a little thing. As long as the emperor likes it." Mo Yunzhu smiled crisply.
"I like it very much. I will reward you handsomely." The emperor was still watching. Eunuch Gao was a little curious. What on earth made the emperor so interested and why he couldn't stop watching?
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mo Yunzhu looked happy.
The emperor looked at it for a long time before he put it down and said to Eunuch Gao, "Want to see it?"
Eunuch Gao chuckled, and the emperor actually showed it to him, but said, "It's useless for you to see it."
Eunuch Gao didn't understand, but after seeing it, his face suddenly turned red, and he looked at Miss Mo and said, "Miss Mo is really creative."
It turns out that the paintings in this kaleidoscope are beauties, all kinds of beauties, and they are wearing even less clothes. They dance gracefully as they rotate, giving off a beauty that seems lingering.
Eunuch Gao thought that Miss Mo was really amazing. She dared to give such a thing to the emperor. But it really touched the emperor's heart.
But for him as a father-in-law, it was indeed too much.
"How is it?" The emperor looked at Eunuch Gao's distorted old face and laughed.
"Miss Mo is truly creative. I admire you." Eunuch Gao thought to himself, what else can I say?
"Your Majesty, didn't Your Majesty give Yunzhu five shops before? How about I use them to sell clothes for these beauties?" Mo Yunzhu said with a smile.
The emperor didn't expect Mo Yunzhu to ask him these questions. After all, the shop was given to her and she could use it however she wanted.
But she actually asked, and the emperor instantly felt warm in his heart, thinking that Mo Yunzhu had him in her heart.
"This dress is indeed beautiful. Our Qingyun women will definitely be more beautiful after wearing it." The emperor smiled and said, "Yunzhu, do you need me to do anything for you?"
"Hehe, Your Majesty, my clothes are quite special. I want to make them for the ladies in the palace first. If they help promote Yun Zhu, my shops will definitely do well."
"Hahaha, so that's how it is. I also want to see if those women will look better in this kind of clothes. Don't worry, I've approved it. Not only the women in the palace, but also the women of the court officials will be allowed to buy them. I guarantee that your store, Yunzhu, will be a booming business."
"Wow, thank you so much, Your Majesty." Mo Yunzhu smiled happily and even suggested borrowing a few dressmaking maids in the palace to help make some sample clothes.
The emperor also agreed with a smile. After all, the first batch of clothes would be given to the ladies in the palace to wear, and he could feast his eyes on them.
Mo Yunzhu talked a lot with the emperor, and the emperor praised Jun Huolan highly.
Finally, after she and Lan Yan came out of the palace, Lan Yan said with a smile: "Master, you opened a clothing store, how can you go to Chen Guo? What if he thinks you are deceiving him..."
Mo Yunzhu said, "I have already planned all this. Some of the fabrics for the clothes here are only available in Chen State, so if the emperor wants to find me later, just say that I went to Chen State to discuss the fabric business. My father has already found someone to take care of the store. I just need to provide the design drawings, and my father will take care of it later."
Lan Yan gave Mo Yunzhu a thumbs up and said, "Master, everything is as planned."
In fact, this was also a plan to make money that Mo Yunzhu came up with after acquiring the five stores. With the palace and high-ranking officials leading the trend, there was no need to worry about not being able to sell clothes.
Jun Huolan naturally agreed. They had a lot of things to do and they would always be short of money.
