Love on the Pillow: Pampering the Unscrupulous Queen

Chapter 20

"Miss, are you still going out of the city?" Hearing this, the waiter's face became tense.

Since the last time he followed the prince out of the mansion and was assassinated, now the minister feels uneasy whenever he hears words related to leaving the mansion.

"Of course not now." Su Qing shook her head, but she already had a plan in her heart.

She and Feng Jun didn't hear the slightest news about the snow disaster in the Northland in the last life, but after the disaster was so severe that it was out of control, only the courtiers below reported the suppressed report.

At that time, there were already 10,000+ refugees, and several small-scale conflicts between refugees and officers and soldiers broke out.

The courtiers couldn't hold back anymore, so they threw the mess to Feng Jun, and they tried to blame each other for not knowing beforehand, and finally Feng Jun took over the mess.Su Qing still remembered that Feng Jun in her previous life was so busy that she even developed a few blisters in her mouth.

But now, since she already knew what was about to happen, she could naturally seize the opportunity.

"How are things going at the shop?" Su Qing asked again.

The waiter replied: "The shop has already been bought, and the decoration has been completed. The craftsman is looking for the old master who came out of the palace, and he went to find it according to what you said, Miss. The sign of the shop has also been changed to Xifeng Pavilion."

Su Qing nodded: "Send me the drawings I drew in two days, and let them build them according to the drawings."

The waiter laughed: "I've seen Miss's painting before, it's amazing. I just didn't know that Miss can also draw jewelry patterns."

Su Qing glanced at her and said, "Lay paper and ink."

When Su Qing was the empress in her previous life, the head jewelry she had seen was definitely not inferior to anyone in the capital.She is the only one in the harem, so all the jewelry and hairpins are naturally for her to choose.Sometimes when the interest comes, she will also design some accessories by herself, which often attracts the ladies and wives in Beijing to follow suit.

When the waiter prepared the pen and paper, Su Qing filled the ink with a wolf brush, thought for a while, and began to write.

With the ups and downs of the wolf hair in her hand, a golden phoenix hairpin inlaid with treasures and pearls appeared on the paper. The golden phoenix raised its head and held a string of pearls in its mouth, which was unique, vivid and lifelike.

"This golden phoenix hairpin is really pretty, and it's not worse than the things in the palace!" Seeing the servant, he couldn't help but praise.

Su Qing is quite calm, even the old craftsmen in the palace are amazed by the things she designed by herself.

"Miss, I have already told Madam." The waiter pushed open the door, saw Su Qing was drawing with a pen, walked over to take a look, and there was a burst of praise.

"Miss, there are still fifteen days until the tenth day of next month. If a grand ceremony is to be held, I'm afraid it will be a bit rushed." Shi Qin was a little worried.

Su Qing hummed: "So I have to make these few sets of masks before then."

Shiqin and Shishu looked at each other, both a little puzzled: "Miss, although Qifeng Pavilion has been prepared, there is no rush to open it. Your wedding is more important. How about finishing these heads in a few days?"

Su Qing raised the corners of her lips: "The time of the big wedding is the best time to promote Qifeng Pavilion."

After a pause, both of them expressed their admiration for Su Qing.

It took three days to design four sets of pictures with their own merits, and sent Shiqin and Shishu to the workshop. The three masters in the workshop were in a hurry, and finally made all four sets of heads on the day before the wedding ceremony. .

When the things were delivered to the Su residence, all the women of the Su family gathered in Su Qing's Chu Feng Garden.

The entire General's Mansion has already been decorated with lights and festoons, and even the Duke's Mansion next to it is also beaming, with red and green everywhere.

In just a dozen days, the Ministry of Internal Affairs completed the matters of adoption, asking for names, Najib, accepting levy, and requesting a date. It is not sloppy, but compared to the prince's marriage, it is indeed a little crude.

However, the courtiers all cut down a lot of expenses on the grounds that the treasury was tight and the prince should take the lead in frugality.The ceremony, which originally took several months to prepare, was hastily completed within a month, which also made many aristocrats ready to watch jokes.

Almost everyone knew that the crown prince was not favored by the emperor, and he had no real power in his hands. Although the queen mother had iron fists, it was enough for a harem not to interfere in politics to tie her hands and feet.

This prince's wedding is more like a perfunctory farce.

But the parties didn't care. Feng Jun clamored to see Su Qing every day in the palace, but was persuaded by the Queen Mother, so she could only look forward to it and count the hours to live.

In just half a month, Su Qing used the 10 taels of silver that Feng Jun lent her to take care of the Xifeng Pavilion she opened in an orderly manner, gradually getting on the right track, and only a few days later Reopening day.

Mrs. Su, Su He's, and Xia Yi with her two children were all in Su Qing's room admiring the few sets of hair masks sent by the shop.

They didn't know that Qifeng Pavilion was Su Qing's property, and they heard that Su Qing asked someone to make these sets of jewelry before the family opened, and they all felt that Su Qing was very careful.

"Sister-in-law, take a look, this Li girl's head design is simply ingenious. This exquisite fancy style must be the only one in the capital, right?" Xia Yi was playing with a ruby ​​bead hairpin, her eyes were full of surprises .

Not to mention that such a large ruby ​​is extremely rare, it is the special shape and exquisite carving that are exceptionally brilliant and eye-catching.Moreover, this transparent ruby ​​is matched with white crystal in a new way, which looks more noble and elegant.

"I like the emerald head more." Su He also stroked the begonia emerald hairpin next to her, lovingly said, "I used to think emeralds looked old-fashioned, but I didn't expect this set of jewelry to make people look younger."

Su Qing smiled and said: "Tomorrow, Second Aunt must remember to wear this hair mask. There is also mother and sister-in-law, these are a little bit of Li'er's kindness."

Mrs. Su glanced at the gorgeous and majestic hairstyle in the brocade box, but her heart was full of sourness: "Li'er...tomorrow is the big wedding, mother..." Before she finished speaking, she couldn't say anything. down.

Seeing this, Xia Yi and Su He quickly stepped forward and comforted her softly: "Sister-in-law (mother), don't be like this, tomorrow will be a good day for Li'er, please be happy and send her out."

Su Qing pursed her lips slightly: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter will have a good life."

Mrs. Su heard the words, looked at her already slim daughter, and nodded slowly after a long time: "Li'er, since you have made up your mind, after entering the palace, you must remember to protect yourself and the prince. He is the one you are looking after." A talisman of survival in the palace!"

Su Qing nodded: "Daughter remembers mother's teachings."
