Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 68 The Princess is a Genius

Minister Chen was shocked. Prince Yong'an was the only king of a different surname in the Great Chu. Chen Qian had made great contributions in defending the country and was named Prince Yong'an by the late emperor. However, after the late emperor passed away, Prince Yong'an retired at home and no longer participated in state affairs.

Mrs. Chen was surprised and delighted. She had originally thought that the Minister of Works was marrying above her station, but now it seemed that her daughter was indeed marrying above her station.

"Why do you want to hide your identity?"

"Five years ago, my father asked me to inherit the throne as the crown prince. I didn't want to rest on my father's laurels; I wanted to be independent. Plus, I liked painting and didn't like martial arts, so I had an argument with my father over a trivial matter. In the end, my father asked me to leave home and start my own family. In a fit of anger, I transferred my household registration to my cousin's name."

Mrs. Chen looked troubled: "This is difficult. Should you inform Prince Yong'an of your marriage?"

When Chen Su heard Mrs. Chen say this, his face showed joy, which meant that he was accepted.

"I will tell them about marrying Xiaoling. If they agree, they will be my parents. If they don't agree, they will be my relatives. I tell you this because I hope you know the truth, but please pretend you don't know about it."

Minister Chen and his wife looked at each other. This matter involving Prince Yong'an was really tricky.

"I won't marry you, liar."

Chen Xiaoling, who had been eavesdropping from behind, rushed out and kicked Chen Su, startling everyone present. Minister Chen scolded his daughter, "Stop it! Don't be unreasonable."

"Dad, he lied to me."

"Xiaoling, I didn't lie to you. I just didn't know how to start. Didn't I explain it to the adults?"

"Don't quibble."

Chen Su shut up immediately. Minister Chen and Madam Chen couldn't help laughing when they saw how honest and obedient Chen Su was. They thought that if she married his daughter, she wouldn't have to suffer any bullying.

"Xiaoling, if you don't want to marry Chen Su, then let Chen Su go back."

Chen Xiaoling was stunned. She was just angry that Chen Su had lied to her, but she didn't say she would not marry him.

"Dad, let me think about it again."

Minister Chen asked Chen Su to go back!

Chen Su just stood there looking at Chen Xiaoling pitifully without moving.

Minister Chen gave Madam Chen a look, and the two of them retreated. The maids also left, leaving only two people in the front hall.

Chen Su stepped forward and pulled Chen Xiaoling's sleeve: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just want to make a career through my own efforts. I don't want people to say that I rely on my father."

Chen Xiaoling looked annoyed: "You should have continued to hide it, why are you telling me now?"

Chen Su said cautiously, "I want to give you the greatest dignity when we get married."

Chen Xiaoling was delighted, but her face remained serious: "Can you guarantee that your parents like me?"

"They'll like you."

"What if you don't like me?"

"Whether they like it or not, I choose to be with you."

Only then did Chen Xiaoling smile.

After Ye Youlan returned to the palace, she began to work on her business plan. She selected ten skilled maids and servants from the palace and brought them to a large room that served as a workshop, like an embroidery workshop moved into the palace.

Ye Youlan took out her own design draft and asked them to make various sachets and purses according to the design draft.

Xiaomei pointed to a drawing and asked, "Princess, what is this?"

"Butterfly, don't I draw it like it?"

"Like, very similar."

"Like, you still want to ask?"

After the princess left, Xiaomei told everyone, "Everyone, look at the drawings and embroider whatever you think is right. The most important thing is that the princess is happy."

When the first batch of goods came out, Xiaomei brought it to the princess for review. The Seventh Prince looked at it again and again and couldn't help laughing.

"Are you sure anyone would buy a purse with embroidered carrots and pumpkins? Oh, and there's also a duck."

Ye Youlan sighed, "Although I'm not a good painter, my embroidery skills are really good. Look at how bright the color of this big red radish is. Just looking at it makes me want to eat braised pork with radish. And this big, fat pumpkin is so cute."

Ye Youlan asked Xiaomei to deliver this batch of goods to the cosmetics shop and sell each piece for one or two taels of silver.

"Princess, this is too expensive, even a hundred coins is too high."

"What do you know? Ask the shopkeeper to hang a sign next to this batch of goods saying that it's the same style as that of Prince Rui and Princess Rui."

After Xiaomei took it away, the Seventh Prince asked her, "Are you sure you can sell it?"

Ye Youlan warned him: "Don't buy it secretly. If you fail, I will find another way."

The Seventh Prince asked her, "Where is the purse you made for me?"

Ye Youlan went to the dressing table, took out a dark green purse from a box and handed it to the Seventh Prince.

Seeing that the craftsmanship had improved compared to the previous one, the Seventh Prince pointed at the red pattern on the purse and asked what it was.

"520."

"What does it mean?"

"This is a pun, which means I love you when put together."

The Seventh Prince was delighted to hear such a straightforward confession: "Embroider this on my handkerchief."

Ye Youlan clapped her hands: "What a great idea! Why didn't I think of embroidering it on a handkerchief? That would sell even better."

The Seventh Prince retracted his smile and said, "You are not allowed to sell this. This is mine."

Then Xiaomei and Li Yi came to the cosmetics shop owned by the prince, and the owner quickly did as they were told.

Xiaomei and Li Yi sat aside, a little worried whether this could be sold.

"I don't know either, let's take a look first!"

After a while, two female guests came in and looked at the row of hanging sachets and purses with great curiosity.

"This pumpkin is so cute, it's the same style as the one worn by Prince Rui and Princess Rui. Is it real?"

"It should be true. I heard someone say that the Seventh Prince has a purse that looks like a duck, and another that looks like a tilted orchid."

"Then I'll buy one. I love this pumpkin so much."

"One tael of silver is a bit expensive."

"Miss, it's not expensive. There is only one of each type here. Look, there is a flower leaf at the bottom of the purse. This is the surname leaf of Princess Rui." Seeing that there was business, Xiaomei hurriedly introduced it enthusiastically.

"who are you?"

"I'm an errand boy. I know someone in Ruifufu who copied the pattern and made it. I guarantee it's the same style."

So the two girls each bought five, saying they would take turns wearing them.

After the girl left, Xiaomei looked at Li Yi excitedly: "Oh my God, someone actually bought it. The princess is a genius."

Li Yixiao: "I think you are also a genius."

Xiaomei was proud: "My ability to deceive people is still far from that of the princess!"

While the two were talking, a few more girls came in and went straight to the purse, saying that they had just seen a girl wearing it very beautifully, so they came all the way here to find it.

So, you had three, she had five, and they were all sold out in less than an hour. Xiaomei couldn't believe her eyes as she held the hundred taels of silver. It was too fast.

Xiaomei took out five taels of silver and gave it to the shopkeeper, saying that it was the princess's order, and left it for the shopkeeper's clerk to drink tea.

The shopkeeper refused. Xiaomei said, "I will have to trouble you in the future. If you don't want me to, I won't be able to reply to the princess. If the princess is unhappy, the prince will be unhappy too."

The shopkeeper happily accepted it, and at this time a girl came to buy the sachet.

"No more. This is a limited edition, only one hundred are available. If you want new stock, please wait five days."
