Chapter 181 The shortcut is not feasible
On this day, Yu Jiuer finally made a batch of moisturizer. Before the tea banquet, she wanted to take some to the palace for Concubine Duan to try out.
If you want to achieve a great success, Concubine Duan is the key.
If even the imperial concubines praise something, other ladies will naturally follow suit.
But she was just a concubine. The emperor allowed her to enter and leave the palace freely to see her son, but did not give her the freedom to move around the palace freely.
Every time she entered the palace, she had to be led directly from the palace gate by the eunuchs into the Chaoyang Palace where the children lived.
Without Jun Mo's company or the call of the concubines in the harem, she could not enter any other place at will.
But these days, Jun Mo was so busy that he had no time to accompany her into the palace.
Therefore, unless Concubine Duan also came to see the child, it would be difficult for her to see her.
Yu Jiuer knew that the palace maids and eunuchs who took care of the child looked down on her as a concubine from Yinshan Mountain. If it weren't for the fact that she was the child's biological mother, they probably wouldn't even bother to smile at her, right?
Yu Jiuer gave them the only silver she had, but saw disdain in their eyes.
But she really had no money on her, so she couldn't make any splash!
According to the palace regulations, the concubine is entitled to receive monthly salary, but her time here is still short, and Steward Feng either forgot or thought that she didn't need the money, so he didn't prepare any for her.
But Jun Mo was very busy and had no time to pay attention to these small details.
In order to prevent outsiders from thinking that Prince Jing cared about this concubine, Jun Mo did not dare to hand over the financial power of the palace to her.
I just secretly sent her some jewelry.
Yu Jiuer handed over the red hairpin on her head and said, "Just go and help pass the message."
A young eunuch said with embarrassment: "Your Highness, we are just little servants. We cannot walk around in the palace. If we are discovered, even our lives will be in danger!"
Another maid was too lazy to even put on a show and said with an unhappy look on her face:
"My dear concubine Yu, it's easy for us to survive in the palace. You are lucky to have given birth to the emperor's grandson, and you may be able to save your life if you make a mistake. We palace maids and eunuchs may be powerful in your eyes, but we are inferior in the palace. Who dares to break the rules?"
An old maid, who looked like she wanted to help her, advised, "My dear concubine Yu, you are from Yinshan and you are already blessed to be a concubine. You should cherish your blessings! Don't think about getting anything else, or you will lose the wealth you have worked so hard to get."
Yu Jiuer knew that they were all looking for excuses to shirk their responsibilities. If they wanted to, it wouldn't be difficult to find someone acquaintance in the palace to help pass the message.
When she was frowning, Xiao Jing'er came over with a serious face, holding the old palace maid's skirt with one hand, pointing outside with the other hand and said, "Grandma Duan!"
Seeing his brother helping his mother, Xiao Xiner also came over, put his hands on his hips, and said to the palace maids and eunuchs with a stern face: "I want to serve my grandmother!"
That little guy has some of Jun Mo's aura.
How could the palace maids and eunuchs dare to neglect the little emperor's grandson? Even though they were young and ignorant, they were not someone they could afford to offend!
The little palace maid squatted down and coaxed, "Little Ancestor, Concubine Duan just came to play with you last night. She is still resting today. Let's not disturb her, okay?"
Xiao Xiner looked at Yu Jiuer, who pouted.
He immediately understood his mother's thoughts, and he was possessed by a sense of drama. He pursed his lips, cried out "Wow!", and burst into tears.
"Wow, wow, wow!" Even Xiao Jing'er followed her brother and pretended to cry a few times.
Now, all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were panicked.
Chun'er and Xia'er immediately ran up and hugged each child to coax them.
Chun Er sneered at the palace maids and said, "It seems that the servants in this palace are very difficult to hire! Since you are so disgusted with us Yinshan people, we might as well ask the emperor to send us four maids out of the palace, so that you won't be an eyesore!"
"this....."
A few eunuchs and palace maids were also afraid that things would get out of hand, so they quickly knelt down in front of Yu Jiuer and said, "Yu Gui Concubine, we are scared of you. We will find someone to pass the message immediately. Please wait a moment!"
The old maid hurriedly said to Yu Jiuer: "My dear concubine Yu, please tell the little grandson to stop crying. If the emperor knew about this, we would all be in big trouble!"
Yu Jiuer smiled at the two children, squatted down and opened her arms: "Come, let mommy hug you!"
The two little ones immediately stopped crying and ran towards their mother!
"You are such a good baby!" Yu Jiuer hugged the children tightly in her arms. Her nose felt sore. She felt sorry for them having to learn the ways of the world at such a young age.
If I were in Yinshan County, how nice it would be to live a simple life!
She must work hard!
Work hard to make money, become stronger, drive away the people from the Western Regions, make that place a real paradise on earth, and let her children have a pure and clean place to rest in the future.
Not long after, Concubine Duan came slowly over: "I heard that the little ones miss Grandma Duan? Grandma Duan is here!"
After playing for a while, Yu Jiuer seized the opportunity to take out the moisturizer and share it with Concubine Duan.
"Hmm! It is indeed very moisturizing and delicate. I also like the faint sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance. Jiuer, is this really homemade?"
After using it, Concubine Duan praised it highly.
"Yes, Madam!" Yu Jiuer took out a few more small porcelain bottles, "Jiuer has also made other scents, both strong and light."
Seeing her enthusiasm, Concubine Duan understood and asked, "Are you planning to do this business?"
She knew she was not someone who could sit idle.
"Your Majesty is indeed very smart!" Yu Jiuer nodded and said, "Yes, Jiuer wants to be self-reliant and help the prince reduce his burden. Can your Majesty help Jiuer promote it?
The ladies in the imperial palaces will definitely need such a good moisturizer. If we can sell it to them, it will definitely become famous and become a royal moisturizer known to the world."
"Reduce the burden? Just don't cause trouble for Mo'er! I have to think about it!" Concubine Duan picked up the moisturizer and put it to her nose, smelling it carefully, lowering her eyes and thinking.
Yu Jiuer's heart was in her throat, fearing that she would be rejected, and she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, just send some to the ladies and princesses in each palace for them to try out according to their preferences!"
According to her plan, the first step after making the moisturizer was to let the concubines try it; the second step was to let the ladies and wives of high-ranking families try it. When they all gave it a favorable review, that was when she would start filling the sack with money.
Yu Jiuer is very confident in the moisturizer she makes, the only thing left is promotion.
Concubine Duan sighed softly: "You think too simply! The water in the harem is very deep. If you are not careful, someone will use the things you gave to make trouble. You may not even know how you died!"
This simple sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured down on Yu Jiuer, making her feel cold all over.
Yes, how could she forget all those sinister and cunning things that happened in the harem?
She was so anxious that she lost her mind and just wanted to take shortcuts to make money quickly.
If you take advantage of the harem, you could end up in ruin if you're not careful!
"This is really embarrassing for Your Majesty! Jiuer was not thoughtful enough." The shortcut was not working, and Yu Jiuer's tone was a little lonely.
Concubine Duan encouraged, "Don't lose heart! Your lung moistening cream is really good. If they are asked to buy it, they can give it a try. But it's best not to have anything to do with Prince Jing's Mansion! And it's not appropriate for a concubine like you to do business in public!"
Since Yu Jiuer is determined to do something, she can't just attack her. It's better than letting her have nothing to do and cause other troubles, right?
"Thank you for your advice, Madam. I know what to do now! I will go find a store right away and buy it under the name of Yu Tao." Yu Jiuer said with a smile, "I hope Madam will help praise this moisturizer at the tea banquet."
"You! I should have thought of it earlier. It must not be that simple for you to ask me to lead the tea banquet!" Empress Duan's eyes flashed with pampering, "Okay! I will tell them that the moisturizer you gave them is very useful, and let them go to you to ask!"
After coming out of the palace, Yu Jiuer directly asked Anying to drive the carriage to the busiest market in the capital.
The tea-tasting banquet will be held in six days, and she wants to buy a store under the name of Yutao before that.
In order to prevent Jun Mo's opponents from finding any loopholes to attack him, he must not have any connection with the palace.
But Yu Jiuer thought too simply. They walked around for an entire afternoon but still couldn't find a suitable shop.
Either the price is too expensive or the location is not suitable.
"That large block of shops is the most suitable, but it's a pity that they neither sell nor rent them out!" Yu Jiuer pointed at the shops in front, her mouth watering with envy.
Shadow said, "That row of shops are all owned by merchants. The prince had a few of them before, but unfortunately they were all sold for silver."
"Merchant? The merchant of the Prime Minister?"
"Yes, Master!"
After getting the answer, Yu Jiuer's eyes lit up and she decided to take a risk and try her luck.
