Chapter 194: Opening an Embroidery Shop
Chapter 194: Opening an Embroidery Shop
Wang Yu came to her senses. Was she thinking of Sima Gong? Impossible.
Sima Gong did repent before his death, but she also knew that he had no choice.
If he were still alive, he would not regret it and would not feel that he was wrong.
"No! Shuiyue, go ask Guard Lu to come over." Wang Yu stood up and went back to the main hall to do business.
After Sima Gong died, Xu Liang was also imprisoned by His Majesty. Over the years, Xu Liang helped Sima Gong do many evil things, but in order to let Sima Gong go with a clear conscience, His Majesty put all the blame on Xu Liang.
Xu Liang was sentenced to be executed in the autumn, and now the commander of the guards in Prince Yu's mansion is Lu Yanping.
Now that she has left the palace, it is time for her to do something that she feels is meaningful.
For the past twenty years, she has been well-behaved and has been a docile daughter of a wealthy family in the eyes of her parents. But from now on, she just wants to live for herself.
She doesn't want to follow the rules anymore.
"I am here to see Her Majesty the Princess. What instructions does Her Majesty the Princess have for me?" Lu Yanping stepped forward and saluted.
Wang Yu gave him a false hand and said, "Guard Lu, you're welcome. I want to see Yinniang and the girls we rescued from Fangfei Courtyard. How are they doing now?"
She did not tell anyone about Sima Gong's absurd decision, and neither the girls in Fangfei Courtyard nor the ladies in the Eastern Palace were buried alive with the emperor.
Even if Sima Gong told others about it, His Majesty and the Empress would not allow it, nor would the court officials.
She was also trying to preserve Sima Gong's almost non-existent reputation.
"Your Highness the Princess wants to see Yinniang? I will send someone back to pick up Yinniang right away." Lu Yanping accepted the order.
Yinniang had long wanted to thank the princess in person for saving her life. She had pestered him to say it several times, but he didn't dare to speak to the princess rashly.
After all, the princess has been very busy in the past two months, so how could she have time to see Yinniang?
Now that the princess has taken the initiative to meet Yinniang, he must of course make arrangements immediately.
Wang Yu nodded, "Okay!"
“Those girls who were unwilling to leave were expelled from Fangfei Courtyard after the death of the former crown prince and the closure of Fangfei Courtyard. I have not paid attention to their whereabouts since then.
As for the girls who are willing to leave, they are all settled in a house in the west of the city. Does the princess want to see them?" Lu Yanping continued to inquire.
"Let's meet Yinniang first. After I have discussed with Yinniang, I will let them learn embroidery. I want to open an embroidery shop." Wang Yu told Lu Yanping her plan.
Lu Yanping understood and immediately made arrangements.
Yinniang was once the best embroiderer in the Imperial Palace. If it weren't for Sima Gong...
Yinniang will continue to stay in the Imperial Mansion and continue to do what she likes.
He had been married to Yinniang for four years and had two sons, but he could feel that Yinniang loved embroidery.
If she could work with the Crown Princess... no! She would definitely be very happy.
The second baby is over one year old and just needs to be taken care of by the nanny. He hopes that his wife can always be happy.
Half an hour later, Yinniang arrived at Prince Yu's mansion.
When she saw Wang Yu, Yinniang knelt down to express her gratitude.
"Your Majesty, I greet you! Your Majesty, I am grateful for your kindness and I have no way to repay you. Please accept my greetings." After Yinniang finished speaking, she kowtowed three times.
Wang Yu quickly helped the person up, "You girl! What are you doing? You are in trouble because of me. If you hadn't gone to the East Palace to make clothes for me, you wouldn't have met him, let alone...
In short, for me, it's just a piece of cake, you don't have to worry about it."
She just sent Yinniang out of the palace, which was not a life-saving favor.
Yinniang shook her head repeatedly. "If it weren't for the Empress's help, Yinniang would have died long ago. How can I not repay the kindness of saving my life?"
At that time, she was already engaged to her husband and was going to marry him.
If her innocence is ruined, she will commit suicide, and her husband will definitely follow her. He may also take the risk of assassinating the late crown prince.
Wang Yu saved not only her own life, but also the lives of her, her husband, and her two sons.
Such a great favor, she could never repay it even if she worked like a slave for Wang Yu her whole life.
"Okay! Stand up and talk first." Wang Yu didn't allow her to kneel anymore.
Yinniang stood up and sat down obediently according to Wang Yu's instructions.
"Yinniang, are you willing to open an embroidery shop with me? I know Yinniang's embroidery skills are amazing. When the time comes, we can recruit some more embroiderers, plus the group of poor girls who came out of Fangfeiyuan.
"Let's open an embroidery shop together so that women all over the world can have a place to settle down and make a living, okay?" Wang Yu told Yinniang everything she was thinking.
Hearing this, Yinniang's heart was filled with emotion. She started learning embroidery from her mother at the age of four, and entered the imperial palace to become an embroiderer at the age of twelve. She had learned embroidery for more than twenty years, and this was the first time someone had said this to her.
Although she didn't understand other things, she knew that the princess needed her, so she did her best to help the princess.
"Your Highness! I don't understand much, but I am willing to obey all your orders." Yinniang promised with a smile.
What's more, becoming an embroiderer again is her dream.
Wang Yu smiled and took out some drawing paper. "Let's put it this way. Take these and embroider a few pieces according to these patterns. Return them to me in a month, okay?"
These are the embroidery patterns she drew, and she wanted Yinniang to embroider them.
"Okay! Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely complete it." Yinniang agreed.
Wang Yu said, "From now on, you are not allowed to call yourself a slave. If you don't want to be called my sister, then call me your boss. When we open an embroidery shop, I will be your boss."
Rather than calling her Princess, she would rather hear them call her Boss.
The title of Princess Consort was given to her by Sima Gong.
The identity of the boss was something she fought for herself.
In the past, her parents always said that merchants were the lowest class, but she felt that merchants had money and could do many of the things she wanted to do.
With money, she could take in and shelter more innocent women and children.
After sending Yinniang out, Lu Yanping waited for her outside.
After they saluted Wang Yu, they left side by side.
Looking at the backs of the two people talking and laughing, Wang Yu smiled slightly.
Sometimes simple days are enough to make people happy.
It's a pity that she is not qualified to have simple happiness.
Wang Yu went to the Marquis of Zhennan's Mansion.
When Su Yuan heard Wang Yu coming, she was stunned for a moment.
She and Wang Yu had no connection. The last time they met was when she was treating Sima Gong. Why did Wang Yu come here?
"I didn't know the princess was coming. I'm sorry..."
"Okay! No need to be so polite." Wang Yu interrupted Su Yuan's polite words.
What she hates most now is hearing people say these polite words.
If she wants to open an embroidery shop in the future, she will have to hide her identity.
Su Yuan said no more, "Princess Princess, is there something going on here?"
Wang Yu was not polite. "I do have something to ask. I want to open an embroidery shop. I wonder if Madam Gu could give me some advice?"
