The Empress herself probably never expected that she would be so easily influenced by her.
It’s indeed not easy for a plain fisherman’s daughter to have grown to where she is today.
Especially when she talks about how great her products are with such confidence, it’s hard not to be persuaded.
What about those concubines who wanted to become more beautiful?
At their age, they have already aged, and even the youngest concubine in the palace is in her twenties or thirties. Although the Emperor’s current condition prevents him from taking action, who doesn’t love beauty? Even if it’s not for the Emperor to see, it’s good to show it to the many competitors.
With such cunning, Shen Xiaoyu successfully won over these initially critical concubines. She is very smart, much smarter than she had assumed.
Being able to use one’s advantages in adversity and carve out a bright path is not only smart but also bold enough.
Thus, the Empress eventually chose to acknowledge her. For original chapters go to NoveI-Fire.ɴet
With the attitudes of the Emperor and the Crown Prince clear, if she were to refuse, it would only cause trouble and damage the mother-son relationship, a thankless task she wouldn’t engage in.
So, Shen Xiaoyu was safely invited to the gate of the Imperial Palace by the people of Changchun Palace.
Yan Qing, knowing the news, met up with her immediately. As for the events in Changchun Palace, someone had already informed the Imperial Study, so not only Yan Qing knew, but the Emperor and the Crown Prince were also aware, which seemed to deepen their understanding of Shen Xiaoyu.
Meanwhile, Yan Qing was filled with doubts about his future Princess.
But Shen Xiaoyu had no time to think about that, as her mind was occupied with securing bottles and selling skincare products.
Now that the space’s land had grown to Level 10, she hadn’t opened up the fish ponds and pastures yet due to lack of energy. The money earned from harvesting the crops was used to upgrade the land. The land was still ordinary with longer growth cycles, but there would soon be Red Land and Black Land, and even more advanced experimental fields, all underpinned by gold coins. Thus, she was diligently farming, setting alarms to farm, all to convert the 24 plots of land into those with shorter growth cycles sooner.
As for the Space Mall, she originally had five million, but after coming to Beijing, she hadn’t had time to add more items to it. However, she had purchased quite a few items from it, spending about five hundred thousand so far. The half-million worth of stocked toiletries was enough for her to handle the upcoming bulk orders.
In other words, the toiletries she purchased had already been deducted from her mall’s gold coins, and these products were now piling up in her own warehouse, available whenever needed.
If she and Yan Qing really ended up together, she would just sell these toiletries during her time in Beijing. Going to her fief would be too arduous. Whether she continued selling would depend on whether her schedule allowed it.
There was also the issue of bottles, a single porcelain factory was slightly unable to keep up with the pace, prompting Shen Xiaoyu to turn and look at Yan Qing.
Yan Qing coldly snorted, "It’s not easy, huh? You finally notice I exist?"
Shen Xiaoyu looked around, slightly confused, "How could I be in the same horse carriage with you, isn’t that not allowed?"
"Now it’s allowed," Yan Qing’s words were like a flare, "Has the Empress agreed?"
Yan Qing leaned back, refreshed, "Whether she agrees or not isn’t important. What’s important is that she didn’t nitpick and even had her First Lady and eunuch escort you out. This says it all; you’ve passed the first hurdle."
