Don’t Mess with the Tough Lady

"What does the imperial concubine say?"

Du Qingheng turned his head and heard Du Xuechun’s questions, with a face full of surprise: "Don’t you know the empress? This Lingyue Pavilion is in the capital these few days, and the reputation is very famous. Almost all the ladies from all the families make reservations at their homes. What about the clothes."

"The concubines also thought that the look of their clothes was very novel and beautiful, so they were asked to buy some back. No, it's just some materials. After the empress, I think it's okay. Everyone's new clothes for the New Year's Eve banquet. It's better to leave it to Lingyue Pavilion to do it all."

Du Qingheng turned and returned to his seat, watching Du Xuechun waiting for her to express her attitude.

The leading court lady in Shangyi Bureau asked the people behind to bring up the material, which made Du Xuechun's eye.

Unexpectedly, Du Xuechun just glanced at her with an unremarkable expression. She was the one who had personally seen the craftsmanship of Shopkeeper Wu, and naturally knew what their clothes looked like.

Seeing that her reaction was somewhat different from what she had imagined, Du Qingheng's triumphant smile on her face stiffened, and he said unwillingly, "What do you think of my mother? Isn't it pretty good? Since it's good, I will give them the new clothes for the New Year's Eve banquet." Come and do it."

"What is the imperial concubine? My palace hasn't spoken yet." Du Xuechun motioned to them to take the things down, his expression was so plain that people couldn't guess what she was thinking.

"Is my concubine being rude, doesn't she have any thoughts after seeing it?" She still didn't give up.

"The costumes of the imperial concubine are all made by the Shangyi Bureau. It might not be appropriate to rashly use things outside the palace."

What she meant was to refuse. Of course Du Qingheng refused. She couldn't wait to say again: "The Shangyi Bureau is just so colorful. Even the Queen's New Year's Eve banquet has a heart to change. The clothes that the sisters wore all day, Shouldn't it be changed?"

"That said, but where the palace rules are placed, what colors the people wear, and what embroideries on the clothes are all exquisite. The embroidery ladies of the Shangyi Bureau are also familiar with these. The rules were only picked out, so rashly let people who are not familiar with it do this, not only in the palace, but the emperor cannot agree.

Du Xuechun meant that there was no room for negotiation.

"The New Year's Eve banquet..." Du Qingheng wanted to struggle again.

"The idea for the improvement of the New Year’s Eve banquet is a decision made by the palace after consultation with the emperor, so it is of course no problem. Concubine Du Guido needn’t say any more. You should send these materials back. People from the Shangyi Bureau are kept in the palace. They eat rice."

Du Xuechun held up a cup of tea and stopped going to see Du Qingheng. His attitude was obvious, and the matter ended here.

The rest of the people, even if they think that the fabric is beautiful, but the queen has already said so, they have no room for interruption, let alone changing the meaning of the queen, but they are a little sorry.

Du Qingheng's face turned pale, and the blue bird's business was getting worse and worse. I blamed what Xueyun Du Xuechun had on. Not only did the previous accident not take their family seriously, but after the accident, they also won a good reputation. The blue bird did not run. Business can be done.

Fortunately, Mu Chen cut his head halfway, and pryed over the clothes shop in Qingcheng. It opened in Beijing these days and the business is good, but this one alone will not work. After all, there are other shops that are not doing well. There is no income, but the income of this garment shop is used to subsidize other shops.

Therefore, Mu Shen proposed to let the palace buy clothes from the blue bird shop, so as not to increase their income.

Du Qingheng also used this banner to discuss with Du Xuechun today, but he did not expect to be rejected by Du Xuechun, and there was even no room for discussion.

Now that's all right, I can only think of other ways.

"I am unwell, so I retired first, and my wife said goodbye." Du Qingheng stood up suddenly, gave a false salute, and left without waiting for Du Xuechun to respond.

"She really doesn't put the empress in her eyes anymore. She left without saying a word. Who is she looking at?" De Fei rolled her eyes several times, and said without concealing her unhappiness. Came out.

Du Xuechun didn't care, she just waved her hand, seeming to comfort Concubine Dee: "No matter, I saw that she was in a bad mood, so she left."

"Does everyone understand the proposal of this palace today?" The disgusting person is gone, and the atmosphere in the Kunning Palace has also eased a lot. Du Xuechun rarely has a good expression on these women who work with her.

"Concubines all understand."

"Okay, since you all understand, then go back. In half a month, this palace will accept your ideas. If you don't have one, don't force it."

"The empress retires."

After they left, Kunning Palace suddenly seemed quite deserted.

Mingying handed the red sandalwood heater to Du Xuechun and looked at the white snow outside standing in front of the bed. At a glance, only a few palace members were cleaning the snow, and their hands could be seen from far away. Flushed.

"Niang Niang, why didn't you let the slave and maid speak out just now? The material was clearly from the shop you were fond of in Qingcheng."

Mingying could vaguely guess something, there might be some connection between Du Guifei and Qingniao.

"She has never been out of the palace, but she has such a clear understanding of the affairs outside the palace. Moreover, it is only a clothing store. The answer is already so obvious, why bother to say it again? Her appearance today is basically purposeful. "

Mingying nodded, she understood what she meant: "Shen Yingwu said that Blue Bird's business has been very bad recently, and most of them have been suppressed by Xueyun, but he has not entered the palace recently. For that Lingyue Pavilion, the servant girl I don’t know much."

"Xueyun sells word-of-mouth. Only with good word-of-mouth can there be a steady stream of repeat customers. Repeating customers will attract new customers, and new customers will become repeat customers. This cycle continues. This is Xueyun's marketing model.

And the Blue Bird always took advantage of the loopholes, they just sold a surface, even if they intercepted Lingyue Pavilion from Qingcheng? According to my opinion, within two months, this shop will close down. "

Du Xuechun did not seem to be joking at all, as if she had already seen the future and knew what would happen in the future.

"Why did the empress say this?"

"Believe it or not, in two months, let's see."

Du Xuechun never thought that she was just speculating in the order of development of things, and that a big accident would eventually arise, and who would have expected her words to be so accurate.

In the evening, Feng Xuanche came to Kunning Palace as usual, and Du Xuechun told him everything that happened today, especially Du Qingheng's affairs.

"Chun'er refused. All the supplies in the palace are exquisite. How can it be changed at will?"

"I also took this into consideration, so I didn't agree with her doing that. I'm afraid she hits a wall with me and will find you in time."

"It's impossible for me to agree. It is good for me not to punish her for things that I want to decide without thinking."
