I was flattered after crossing

I thought to myself: That’s not right, how come they discovered it so quickly?

At this time, Seventeen strode in angrily and raised the hairpin to me: "How could you deceive me?"

"I'm not lying to you. I'm here to help you sort out your thoughts. Is this what you said, that my hairpin can be exchanged for money?"

Seventeen nodded.

"So is this what you said? My hairpin is worth a lot of money and can be exchanged for more than just a piece of cloth?"

Nodding like pounding garlic.

"Then I asked you if I could trade this with you? Didn't you say anything else?"

"Yeah, that's right." The chick nodded like pecking at rice.

"Look! How can I call this deceiving you... Haven't I been saying what you said all the time? You've been yelling all the way here, and people will think I'm a bad person. How can I live in the future if my reputation is ruined?" I said this with a pouty mouth as if I was about to cry.

Seventeen scratched the back of his head anxiously, feeling it itchy, and said hurriedly: "Why...don't cry, it's my fault, I was reckless. Hey! No, it's your hairpin that is worth nothing, let alone twenty taels of silver!"

Seeing his aggrieved look, I couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

At this time, Xiao Zhengxuan stepped in and looked at me with a smile.

"Master, you have to make the decision for me!"

Now I understood. It must be this young prince who noticed that there was something wrong with the hairpin. If Seventeen were asked to identify weapons, it should not be a problem, but women's jewelry might really embarrass him.

"Do you know that this hairpin of yours almost prevented Seventeen from getting married..." Xiao Zhengxuan hadn't finished his words.

"Ahhhh, master, master~ It's okay, it's okay. Look, this hairpin is still quite exquisite, right? I can keep it." Seventeen's heart was beating fast. Please don't tell me that I want to put this in my wife's book. It would be too embarrassing if it got out...

I stepped forward and took the hairpin from Seventeen's hand: "Your Highness, this hairpin is indeed not made of real gold, and the jade inlaid on it is also a fake. How about this? I have already used part of this cloth, so I can't return it to you in its entirety. I am now living in the mansion with nothing to do and can't help much. Can you allow me to find a job outside and earn money little by little to pay back Brother Seventeen?"

"This material was originally intended for you, but I didn't expect Seventeen to involve himself in the plan." After saying that, Xiao Zhengxuan looked at Seventeen again, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Soon, three people's hearty laughter was heard in the room.

Xiao Zhengxuan looked at the half-cut cloth on the ground and asked me, "Do you know how to make clothes?"

I nodded quickly: "Yes, I used to make my own clothes when I had free time, so I could make the style I liked."

Xiao Zhengxuan nodded slightly: "There are several shops in the mansion. Since you like making clothes with fabrics, you can go to the silk shop to help first."

"That's great. Could this silk shop be..." I stared at Xiao Zhengxuan with burning eyes.

He smiled back, "Exactly. The shopkeeper's surname is Xu, and he is a very honest man. When you go there, see if there is anything you can do to help. If not, just rest. There is no curfew in the imperial city at night, but you still need to return home at twilight hour."

I grinned, showing my eight big white teeth, and thanked him quickly! "Your Highness, you are so kind. You provide food, accommodation, and job assignments! The work is not tiring. If you opened a company in our place, you would be scrambling to get interviews!"

He shook his head. I don't know if he didn't understand what I said or if he thought I was too noisy.

He led Seventeen out of the house, and after walking a few steps he stopped and turned back to say, "I don't smile at women, and I need to speak softly. If you don't want to be discovered by others, you should be more cautious. Otherwise, if someone kidnaps you and locks you up and tortures you, I will be helpless."

"Okay, okay! Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never cause you any trouble! Thank you for your advice!" I quickly covered my mouth after I finished speaking, because my voice was too loud. I looked at Xiao Zhengxuan with a guilty conscience, but he glared at me and turned away.

Continue humming the tune and cutting clothes.

I make a little progress every day, and my life is so comfortable~

The next morning after breakfast I went to work at the silk shop.

As soon as I entered the silk shop, I saw Manager Xu sorting the fabrics and getting ready for business.

"Oh, young lady, you are here so early. Late yesterday, my boss sent someone to tell me that you like to make clothes. It just so happens that we have ready-made clothes in our room, so you can take a look first."

I looked at the ready-made clothes hanging on the wooden racks, and the color and style combinations were not satisfactory. They were not as beautiful as the historical relics I saw in major museums.

"Boss, do you have a tailor in our shop? If I draw the picture, can the tailor make it according to the picture?" I suddenly had an idea to make money. I could draw the clothes I knew and make them into extraordinary ready-made clothes. I was sure that I would be favored by the ladies of various mansions in this prosperous imperial city!

"Yes, the tailor in our store is a master with more than 20 years of skills! Girl, just go and draw." The shopkeeper said to me with a smile.

Isn’t this a boost of motivation?

The clothing I am most familiar with at the moment is the clothing from the Song Dynasty, and it’s not in vain that I have been wearing Hanfu in recent years.

I drew several pictures: one-piece tube top, straight-collared and double-breasted long gown, narrow-sleeved short gown, Changgan Temple short-sleeved jacket, long jacket, three-stream skirt, hundred-fold skirt, two-piece skirt. There are so many things I can think of, so I can make them first.

With so many items in different colors and different materials, they can be combined to create a new set of clothes, which is enough to make these rich ladies popular for a while!

When the tailor saw the different designs, he became more excited and was finally able to show off his skills.

I have been busy drawing in the store these days, learning techniques from the tailor, and getting to know many fabrics that I have never seen before from the shopkeeper. I have gained a lot and am very happy.

When the shops closed in the evening, I happily returned to the palace.

Thinking whether I should pay my respects to Xiao Zhengxuan and tell him about what happened in the past few days, I headed towards his study.

I happened to meet Seventeen and he took me in.

"Your Highness, I'm back!" As soon as I entered the room, I saw Xiao Zhengxuan sitting in front of the desk, writing something, probably an official document.

Regardless of whether you are working for an ancient emperor or a modern business owner, what good worker would not take some tasks home to complete?

Xiao Zhengxuan looked up at me, put down his pen and asked, "How have you been doing in the silk shop these days? Are you adapting well?"

"I've adapted, I've adapted so well, all thanks to the prince. Shopkeeper Xu is really as good as you said. He taught me a lot of things I didn't understand before, and I also learned skills from the tailor Uncle Li."

"Wow, wow, wow! You are so shameless and you are still learning a craft~" Seventeen said sourly.

I turned around and rolled my eyes at him: "When I become a master, I will make a nice set of lanshan for you. Then you will be speechless~"
