Chapter 58: De Fei Chu Xinghe
Concubine Shu lowered her head, trying hard to reduce her presence, but suddenly her scalp felt numb and she inexplicably felt like someone was staring at her.
She raised her eyes cautiously and met the Queen's fiery eyes. Her heart skipped a beat.
It’s over. Did the Queen know something?
Or maybe the Queen also wants her to leave the palace, but she doesn’t want to. Now she is the only one in her Qixiang Palace.
It's so hard to have some time alone with Yuzhe, she doesn't want to leave the palace. Where can she go if she leaves the palace?
go home?
She doesn't want to go back. Her family members want to eat her up and fry her to pieces, so she doesn't want to go back.
Concubine Shu looked at the Queen pitifully, and the Queen smiled maliciously, "I heard that Concubine Shu is very good at making clothes?"
Concubine Shu...
She clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand and said, "No, how did the Queen know? They hid it very well." She stammered for a long time, not knowing how to answer.
The Queen laughed again, "I know that Concubine Shu is talented, but do you know Rong Wuniang? I want Rong Wuniang to open some ready-made clothing shops in various parts of Daxia, so I'll have to trouble Concubine Shu to come up with the clothing styles."
The Queen was not willing to waste any time on making money. "Shu Fei, just make the sample clothes. If you find it boring to stay in the palace, I will allow you to leave the palace at any time, but you must bring your guards with you when you leave the palace."
Concubine Shu...
Woo woo woo, the queen is so beautiful, but she is so scary.
However, the Queen said that he could be allowed to leave the palace from time to time?
As long as she didn't have to serve Emperor Mingde, she still liked the palace very much, but she would occasionally want to go out of the palace for fun.
The queen smiled with a kind face that deceived decent women, "Shufei, the clothing department of our palace is still short of one."
歘.
Concubine Shu quickly stood up, then knelt straight down, "Empress, I, I don't know how to be an official."
No, she just wants to live a carefree life and make clothes when she has free time. It would be best if she can earn some money from making clothes.
But she didn't want to take care of any more things. What kind of place is the Clothing Bureau? It's not a place that a small fry like her who has nothing can dream of.
【Hahahaha,】 Xiao Qianqian was overjoyed, 【Shufei is so cute.】
The queen was in a dilemma. She wanted the horse to run fast and eat well, but she also wanted the horse to be an all-rounder.
However, seeing Concubine Shu's bitter and resentful look, the Queen knew that she really did not want to manage the Clothing Bureau.
After thinking it over, she really didn't want to give up such a talent as Concubine Shu. The Queen asked Concubine Shu to stand up. When she looked up, she saw the palace maid named Yuzhe standing obediently behind Concubine Shu.
The palace maid looked to be in her early twenties, tall and strong, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a masculine appearance.
Apart from the fact that the dark green palace dress she was wearing didn't suit her at all, this person was quite pleasing to the eye.
The most important thing is that there was light in Yuzhe's eyes at this moment. She secretly glanced at Shufei with a complicated look in her eyes.
Qian Qian also saw Yuzhe. Before she asked, the system sighed, "Alas, this Concubine Shu is so confused. If she doesn't want to be in charge of the Clothing Bureau, she should ask Yuzhe's opinion. Why did she refuse on her own initiative?"
The system was helpless. [She herself had no talent for management, nor did she have the heart to do it.]
[But Yuzhe has it. As a palace maid at the lowest level, her life seemed to be just like that. But now she can have a career as a palace maid. Yuzhe is looking forward to it.]
The queen's eyes lit up immediately. Haha, the donkey she liked, well, a talented person, wants to run away?
If she lets him run away, she will lose. The Queen hesitated for a moment and looked behind Concubine Shu, "This maidservant of Concubine Shu looks different."
Shufei raised her head suddenly, and she remembered Yuzhe. Yuzhe had told her that one day she also wanted to become a female official of Daxia.
Damn it, Concubine Shu rubbed her handkerchief in annoyance. She was so anxious to refuse that she forgot about Yuzhe. There were some things that she couldn't do well but Yuzhe could.
Concubine Shu was so anxious and regretful that she broke out in sweat. But the Queen asked directly, "What's your name?"
Yuzhe walked steadily to the Queen's side and knelt respectfully, "Your servant Yuzhe."
The Queen nodded. "Your master doesn't want to manage the Clothing Bureau, but I really don't have a suitable candidate here. Do you have the ability to assist your master?"
Yuzhe did not agree immediately and seemed to be thinking it over carefully.
Half a cup of tea passed, and she kowtowed respectfully, "I am willing to obey the orders of the Queen."
The queen nodded in satisfaction. "In that case, the Clothing Bureau will be temporarily handed over to Concubine Shu. I will give you three months. If you can conquer the Clothing Bureau, I will reward you."
Shufei immediately stood up and knelt beside Yuzhe, kowtowed to express her gratitude.
The system breathed a sigh of relief, [Well, that's good, it looks like these two will not be separated from now on. ]
【Um? 】
Xiao Qianqian was puzzled, [Will they become alienated in the future? ]
[Alas, yes, if Concubine Shu refused to manage the Clothing Bureau, Yuzhe would have felt resentful, but not now. ]
[Little Princess,] The system is looking forward to it, [This Yuzhe may help your mother's clothing business to shine.]
[Ahhh,] Xiao Qianqian raised his little head proudly and leaned towards his mother, [What should I do? My mother is so awesome. When I grow up, I can only be a rich little salted fish who has no worries about food and drink and no shortage of money to spend.]
[I want to roll it up, but I don’t have the conditions. Tsk tsk tsk, I’m so worried. ]
system……
Do you hear what you are saying is human language?
Queen...
She decided that when Qianqian could speak, she would find her a dozen tutors so that she could experience the hardship of going to school.
Xiao Qianqian, who hadn't noticed anything yet, was gossiping with the system while listening to the Queen's instructions to Concubine Shu about the Clothing Bureau.
[Tongzi, does that Defei have any melons? ]
Concubine De...
The little princess was so scary. Why did she, such a small meat ball, have such an unrestrained voice? Before she could recover from the matter between Concubine Shu and Yuzhe, she started eating the melon herself.
[This Defei,] the system explained patiently, [her family name is Chu, and her name is Chu Xinghe. The Chu family has guarded the border between Chu and Daxia for generations.]
[It can be said that the whole family is loyal and brave. Chu Xinghe and your aunt Xiao Lingshuang are close friends. ]
【real? 】
Xiao Qianqian was a little surprised. The Queen also glanced at Chu Xinghe. She knew that Concubine De was a good friend of her sister-in-law.
Defei was also a woman with superb martial arts and proficient in the art of war. The Queen felt it was a pity that she was trapped in the deep palace.
Daxia is in great need of donkeys, cough, it is in great need of loyal and useful talents. The look he gave to Concubine De was filled with a gleam of light unconsciously.
Concubine De...
The system continued to eat melons, [The one who participated in the talent show that year should be the daughter of the second uncle of the Chu family, but when Chu Xinghe was a child, the cousin of the second uncle's family once saved her mother's life. ]
[In order to repay her cousin, Chu Xinghe promised her cousin that she would agree to his two requests in the future, one of which was to enter the palace to participate in the selection on behalf of her cousin and sister.]
【Isn’t this a way of repaying a favor?】
Xiao Qianqian frowned.
The system sneered, [De Fei's eldest cousin Chu Mu is a scheming man. He was the one who designed Chu Xinghe's mother's serious illness, and he also prepared the medicine to cure the disease and save her life. ]
Chu Xinghe...
