After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor

As expected of Jiang Zhifan, even if he is trapped in Mu Xiu’s life, his talent cannot be stopped.

After receiving his plan, Wan Ning felt relieved. However, Mu Xiu was now the prince of Tumo, so it would be inconvenient for him to come in person. So the two of them discussed that he would command and control the progress in secret, and first pick out some simple matters from the plan and hand them over to Liu Qingquan outside the palace to handle.

But now there are many things to do: design, production, marketing, everything is extremely complicated. In order to save time, Wan Ning did not take time to rest and went to Wuming Palace to visit Concubine Yi early in the morning to ask about the progress of the pattern. Fortunately, when Concubine Yi picked up the pen, her dormant enthusiasm was awakened again. She couldn't wait to vent her emotions on paper, and finally drew pictures full of emotions.

Although not all of them would meet Wan Ning's requirements, since Concubine Yi's enthusiasm had been aroused, she began to think about how to draw better patterns that would be closer to the patterns the princess requested. When Wan Ning asked to take two of the pictures now, she became hesitant and unsure about her work: "Princess, these works are still missing some things, I'm afraid they won't be ready yet? Please think twice, don't delay your work."

Wan Ning waved her hands repeatedly, and her casual and relaxed attitude seemed to tell her that the matter was not as serious as she thought, giving Concubine Yi some strength and comfort. Then Wan Ning rolled up the pattern drawing with both hands and consoled her: "Concubine Yi, your painting is very good. It has both the freshness and loveliness of spring and the elegance and reserve of peony. In my opinion, it meets the requirements of a show girl."

"But it's not enough for me to like it. The buyers have to like it too. So I'm taking these two pictures just to do some market research. You can continue to draw at your own pace. Once the market has feedback on this pattern, I'll come back to you to make some changes."

Concubine Yi nodded as if she understood, and at this moment she was also impressed by the princess's novel and horizon-opening ideas, and she admired her.

But Wan Ning didn't choose one of the paintings randomly, but took the most exquisite one after careful consideration. Now her own production line has not been built yet, but the time for the audition is approaching. If she can't seize the opportunity to launch the first wave of marketing and gain the first batch of customers, she is afraid that by the time the production line is built, the opportunity will be gone.

Therefore, in order to reduce the risk brought by this time difference, Wan Ning planned to find some merchants to cooperate with to produce a few unique clothes to be given to the socialites in Nanye City for publicity. However, the merchants on the market are of varying quality and the quality of the clothes cannot be guaranteed, so an assessment is needed. Wan Ning first gave the design drawings she selected to the merchants for production, and then discussed cooperation after they embroidered the patterns and clothes that met the requirements, thus reducing some unnecessary troubles.

As the saying goes, it takes three to make a fence, and it takes three to make a hero. If Wan Ning and his team want to quickly complete this business, they must give up doing everything by themselves and attract other ready-made resources in time.

After leaving Wuming Palace, Wan Ning passed by Xiang Wanxuan and did not intend to go back. She wanted to go out of the palace to handle this matter. But just after taking a few steps, Wan Tao called her from behind. She was panting and a little anxious: "Princess, Princess."

Wan Ning turned around in confusion and asked, "Wan Tao, why are you here? What happened?"

"After the princess left just now, the Empress Dowager came to visit suddenly. Now she is waiting for you in Xiangwanxuan?" Wan Tao was also deeply puzzled by the Empress Dowager's visit. She walked to the princess while panting.

"Empress Dowager?" Wan Ning immediately stopped and repeated in disbelief: "Are you sure it's the Empress Dowager? What is she doing here?"

"He said he hadn't seen the princess for a long time, so he passed by here and took a look."

"Passing by? She has been living in the Buddhist temple, how could she pass by our Xiang Wanxuan?" Wan Ning questioned, but seeing Wan Tao's lingering fear, she couldn't help but comfort her: "Forget it, forget it, it's a blessing in disguise. Even if she comes for no reason, we can deal with it. It's just troublesome for Wan Tao to help me make the trip."

Then she took out the design from her pocket and handed it to Wan Tao, and asked: "Wan Tao, please go out of the palace for me and find a cloth and clothing merchant in the market in Nanye to ask if they can embroider the pattern on the drawing. If it is feasible, please decide and write down their time and price."

Wan Tao took it reverently, folded it and put it in her pocket, then asked, "Princess, why is this happening?"

"Of course, it is to compare their results and find the most suitable merchant. By the way, go to the street behind Furong Building and find a family surnamed Tang to see if Liu Qingquan still lives there and whether his health has improved. If so, ask him to take you to find Shen Congyu and get back the list compiled by Brother Shen. Do you remember?" Wan Ning asked with a smile, holding Wantao's hand.

"Yeah," Wan Tao nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, then you go quickly and come back soon, and be careful. You don't have to worry about the Queen Mother's affairs, I can handle it." Wan Ning patted her hand in a nonchalant manner, and then watched Wan Tao leave before walking towards Xiang Wanxuan with a sense of relief.

Approaching the gate of Xiangwanxuan, Wan Ning paused for a moment and forced a professional smile before stepping in. When she reached the courtyard, the Queen Mother was standing in front of two wintersweets, fiddling with the newly opened flowers, her fingertips switching back and forth between the flowers, with a satisfied smile on her face. An elderly nanny was waiting on the side with her head lowered, holding a food box in her hand.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was in a good mood, Wan Ning prepared herself mentally and walked to the Queen Mother excitedly, and asked tentatively: "Why did the Queen Mother come here today? Xiang Wanxuan is really honored."

Hearing the voice, the Queen Mother turned her head, her fingers still stroking the flowers. She smiled and said, "When did Princess Le Yan become so slick? You came in without notifying me, Yan'er won't have any objections, right?"

Wan Ning's smile froze on her face, and she complained fiercely in her heart: "Opinion? Of course I have an opinion! What else can I say when you ask me this!"

But he said against his will: "Of course not, the Queen Mother is so happy that she can come to Xiang Wanxuan to make us happy. It is our honor."

The Queen Mother was obviously very satisfied with this answer. She stared at Wan Ning and nodded, then turned back to continue fiddling with the wintersweets. "Yan'er, you're joking. It's rare that the sun came out today, and the Buddha worship ended early, so I thought of coming to see Yan'er. The palace maid said you were not here, so I took a look around on my own. This Xiang Wanxuan has become more elegant in your hands, and it is completely different from more than a decade ago."

More than a decade ago, she should be talking about when the real Princess Le Yan moved in, right? It would have been fine if the Queen Mother hadn't said anything, but it made Wan Ning unhappy. Princess Le Yan didn't see her when she needed her, but now she is actively trying, what's the point?

"You are too kind, Queen Mother. The present Xiang Wan Xuan is not my achievement. Every blade of grass and every tree grows with the passage of time and gradually changes its appearance. The same is true for people!"

The Queen Mother withdrew her fingers from fiddling with the wintersweets and continued to look at Wan Ning with a fake smile: "Yes, that's right. Yan'er, your two wintersweets are very pleasing to the eye. Can you lend them to me and place them in the Buddhist hall for me to enjoy?"
