Chapter 315 Shaking Mushrooms on the Wall (Part 12)
Ling, the guard, had finally become Eunuch Ling. His back was visibly hunched over, and he and Jiang Yubin were bowing to each other as if they were worshipping heaven and earth, neither daring to look up at anyone.
Seeing Ling Yunche like this, Da Ru cried her heart out for the first time; it was more painful than being killed.
Su Xin quickly stepped forward to help Da Ru up, "Young mistress, please don't cry, lest you hurt yourself."
Da Ru gripped Xin Xin's hand tightly, her voice trembling, "I'm so sorry to him, it's all because of me, it's all because of me."
Su Xin felt a pang of sadness. Why was it that, even though they had both become eunuchs, the young master only offered a token apology to Jiang Yubin and then forgot about it, but was so heartbroken over Ling Yunche?
Is the difference really that big?
Indeed, love and hate are so obvious.
"Sister, I've come to keep you company, sister." Hailan, carrying a small bundle, happily stepped into the Cold Palace.
"Hai Lan?"
Now that's good, even the small squad has almost all gathered in the Cold Palace.
From then on, Da Ru began her tireless journey of embroidering insoles day and night.
Although the imperial decree ordered her to embroider it herself, how could Hailan and Suxin bear to do it? Naturally, they embroidered it together, and Qingmo just turned a blind eye.
However, some skills are truly beyond the reach of ordinary people. It might take Hailan and Xinxin a day to embroider a pair of insoles, or several days if they are quick.
Da Ru was different; she seemed to have unlocked some kind of skill, and her embroidery of insoles was divinely inspired. Overnight, the insoles filled the entire room.
"Oh!"
When Jue Er learned of this, he went to see for himself. He was shocked to find that, in the blink of an eye, a large piece of embroidery had been made on the shoe insole.
The female lead truly lives up to her title; she's just different from everyone else.
Jue Er hurriedly returned to report to Qing Mo: "Your Majesty, the speed at which that Ulanara clan embroidered insoles was simply astonishing. They filled the room overnight! This servant saw it with my own eyes."
"Your Majesty, what a stroke of luck! Ruyi is embroidering insoles so quickly. Let alone 100,000 pairs, even a million pairs would be no problem."
"Not only can it meet the needs of border soldiers, but we can also sell Ruyi brand insoles to other countries, expand and strengthen the business, create new glories, and make a fortune."
Uh! Qingmo was a little taken aback by Jue Er's peculiar thought process.
It seems like it might not be a bad idea, huh?
Qingmo stroked her chin thoughtfully for a moment, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. "Alright, as you say, let Daru continue embroidering the insoles, and at the same time arrange for people to launch these Ruyi brand insoles into the market. This matter is entirely entrusted to you."
"Yes, Your Majesty! Rest assured, this servant will certainly handle this matter properly."
Just as Jue Er was feeling smug, having discovered a way for his master to make money, Da Ru went on strike.
It turns out that although Daru embroidered shoe insoles quickly, she was wearing protective armor, which not only strained her hands but also damaged her armor.
The armor Ling Yunche brought her was all ruined. Without the armor, Da Ru was like a fish out of water, losing all her energy, and even the insoles stopped being embroidered.
"Without dignity, how can I possibly be in the mood to embroider insoles? Let the Emperor do as he pleases, I will not embroider anymore."
Jue Er was furious. His grand plan had only just begun to take shape, and it was already going to die in the womb? That wouldn't do.
“Ulanara, don’t be stubborn and ask for trouble. What do you want? These insoles must be embroidered, or you should think about what will happen to the people around you.”
Da Ru's gaze fell on Su Xin and Hai Lan, but he remained as serene as a chrysanthemum.
“Uncle Jue, you don’t need to threaten me. They are all our good sisters. They will understand me.”
Hailan: ...
Xin Xin: ...
"good very good."
"Men, beat her until Ulanara is willing to submit."
While Xinxin and Hailan were still in a daze, the little eunuch had already pressed them down on the bench, and after a few blows, their screams of pain echoed.
Soon, blood seeped from his buttocks, but Da Ru remained unmoved.
When the two were on the verge of death, Da Ru finally spoke up: "Second Eunuch Jue, there's no need for that. You only need to bring me a few sets of armor. Once I have some dignity, I will embroider insoles myself."
Jue Er was speechless for a moment.
What?! You crazy woman!
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
After all this time, all you want is a few sets of armor? Are you mute? You should have said so earlier.
You only say this after someone has been beaten half to death? So, in your heart, even armor is less important than your sisters?
That's incredible, absolutely incredible, there's no one like it.
“Alright, I agree. Every time you deliver a batch of goods, I will have someone send you some armor, so as to maintain Your Majesty’s dignity.”
Upon hearing this, Ruyi nodded in satisfaction, a smile appearing on her face. However, upon glancing at the bloodied and mangled Hailan beside her, she quickly suppressed her smile.
"Please decline, Your Excellency. Please remember that your nail guards should be in solid colors, such as green or yellow. I love these elegant colors the most."
Jue Er gave her a complicated look and nodded in agreement.
So, with the armor, Da Ruo was indeed divinely aided, and the speed at which he embroidered the insoles was simply amazing.
In no time, batches of insoles were shipped to the frontier, and the soldiers no longer had to worry about their feet getting cold in winter. After all, they trusted the Ruyi brand, which guaranteed quality.
Once the soldiers' demands are met, the goods will be transported to various parts of the country for sale, and even exported to other countries.
I'm sure Qingmo's purse will be quite full by now.
Selling shoe insoles may not sound good to outsiders, but it's profitable, so there's nothing shameful about it.
With such a large pool of free labor available, it costs no money or effort, and both quality and quantity are guaranteed. What's the difference between this and a white ladle?
Qingmo was in a great mood because of this. After all, she had made money and could put it into her own little savings account. Who wouldn't be happy?
If the female lead didn't have some ability, would she deserve to be the female lead?
Looking at it now, Da Ruo is indeed a perfect match, an absolute match, a top-tier match.
She's much better than other Mary Sue heroines; she has these kinds of innate skills, so she'll take more of them next time.
While some people live in harmony and happiness, others are suffering terribly.
"Slap." A slap landed on Wei Yanwan, leaving a clear handprint on her face.
"You little slut, you can't even do this little job right, what use are you? Bah!"
The manager of the flower room spat on Wei Yanwan. Seeing her timid and submissive appearance, he was furious. He glared at her fiercely before turning and leaving.
Wei Yanwan covered her face, her eyes filled with humiliation and resentment, yet she dared not resist.
She had no power or influence in the palace, only the lowest-ranking maid, and was constantly suppressed and humiliated. What could she do? She had no choice but to hope to leave the palace and get married as soon as possible.
The thought of getting married reminded her of her brother Yun Che, and a glimmer of hope seemed to rekindle in Wei Yanwan's heart.
She comforted herself, "It's okay, it's okay. At least I still have Yun Che, who is devoted to me."
