Empress in her second playthrough: Something's not right with this plot!

Old Liao looked in the direction he was pointing and shook his head.

"Young master, that is a specialty of the State of Wei, called gauze."

Although it is more precious than ordinary damask, silk, or satin, this dress of yours is not suitable for use with gauze.

Wang Defu, standing nearby, frantically tried to signal to him with his eyes.

Can't you tell? This young master has a unique taste.

Is this dress something you should wear in public?

That must be something you wear at home, during fun times in the bedroom.

You even said that gauze is not suitable, just use whatever people say.

Even if that gauze is very sheer, you won't be able to see a single bit of it.

This old man is stubborn and doesn't understand the interests of young people at all.

Liao, standing to the side, ignored Wang Defu's meaningful glance.

"Young master, this dress would be more suitable if it were made of silk."

Li Yunsheng pointed to the design sketch of the purple cheongsam he had drawn last night.

"I need this dress tomorrow, and I'll use the silk I just mentioned."

Wang Defu, standing to the side, looked troubled.

"Young master, you didn't make a reservation in advance. Our shop already has many customers who are—"

Li Yunsheng didn't even look at Wang Defu; he simply placed a 1,000-tael silver note on the counter.

"Ok?"

"Row!"

Before Old Liao could speak, Wang Defu swiftly grabbed the silver notes and the silver he had just received and put them in his pocket.

Li Yunsheng didn't think it was expensive to spend a thousand taels to make a cheongsam.

Because the Empress in her cheongsam is priceless!

Seeing that Wang Defu had already agreed, Old Man Liao didn't say anything more, after all, Wang Defu was the manager.

"Young master, I need to take your measurements to see who this dress is for."

If he focuses on making this dress, he can finish it in less than two days.

Having a design sketch but no measurements means you can't make these clothes.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunsheng picked up his pen and, without the slightest hesitation, quickly wrote down the detailed dimensions of the dress next to the cheongsam pattern.

He didn't need to measure any part of the Empress's body; he knew it all in his mind.

Old Liao looked at the dimensions on the paper.

“Young master, if I don’t take your measurements myself, I’m afraid the clothes won’t fit.”

When he makes clothes, he always has to take the measurements himself before he can have a clear idea of ​​what he wants to achieve.

This young man is clearly from a wealthy family; if the clothes don't fit properly, he'll inevitably be blamed.

Li Yunsheng put down his pen.

"Don't worry, this size is absolutely accurate."

If the ready-made clothes truly don't fit, I will absolutely not hold it against you.

Even if he agreed to take the Empress's measurements, she would not agree.

Old Liao wanted to insist on taking the measurements himself, but Wang Defu pushed him behind him.

Li Yunsheng didn't linger any longer and left Shangpin Shop amidst the gazes of the women.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Liu Quan, who had been holding back for so long, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Prime Minister, you've given them way too much money."

Even a dress made of gold wouldn't cost a thousand taels.

Just now in the store, he couldn't help but want to stop the generous Prime Minister several times.

Once you reveal your identity, you won't need any money.

These people were so eager to have the clothes made that they would personally deliver them to the mansion.

Moreover, the Prime Minister wasn't like this before; he always made sure every tael of silver was well spent.

A thousand taels for a piece of clothing? Isn't that just being a complete sucker?

"What do you know? A cheongsam is priceless."

Actually, there was another reason that Li Yunsheng didn't mention.

He realized he was a transmigrator, and all the original owner's immense wealth now belonged to him.

A struggling author suddenly becomes the richest man in the world.

When a genius suddenly appears out of nowhere, who wouldn't be confused?

He now feels like he's spending someone else's money, and he doesn't feel the pinch at all.

With the wealth I have now, I could spend it all in three lifetimes, so why should I save it?

What you spend is what you truly own.

He didn't notice that a beautiful woman dressed in fine clothes was about to enter the boutique.

He overheard their entire conversation.

The beautiful woman glanced at Li Yunsheng's retreating figure and quickly walked into the Shangpin Shop.

When Wang Defu saw her enter, he immediately became respectful.

"lady."

He is not the real owner of this shop. If there were no one above him, how could Shangpin Shop become the most famous ready-made clothing shop in the West Market?

In the capital, relationships are complex and intertwined; you never know which shop might be backed by a powerful figure.

The beautiful woman gave a soft "hmm".

"What did the person who just went out say?"

"Oh, Madam, you mean that young master? He left a design sketch of a dress, saying he needs it tomorrow."

Wang Defu handed the design sketch that Li Yunsheng had just left on the counter to the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman took it and glanced at it.

"You took his money?"

"Take it, a thousand taels of silver notes plus thirty taels of silver."

Wang Defu was completely unaware of anything amiss and spoke as if it were perfectly normal.

The beautiful woman said angrily in a low voice.

How dare you take his money?

If there hadn't been so many customers in the store, she would have slapped him already.

Who is that?

That's the current prime minister!

He was always the one receiving money from others; no one would accept his money.

Moreover, his master was able to become the Minister of Justice entirely thanks to Prime Minister Li's support.

Now that Fei Su is dead, which official in the court wouldn't want to curry favor with him?

If you want to give a gift, you don't even know the Prime Minister's preferences.

This is great! We finally got a chance, and these people down here still dare to take money, and they even took a thousand taels!

Wang Defu looked aggrieved.

"Madam, he needs it urgently—"

"You think you can ask for an exorbitant price just because you're in a hurry?"

"Madam, please let me explain. He gave me the thousand taels himself."

Wang Defu had been in the capital for many years, and he quickly understood what was going on.

"Madam, that young master's identity is extraordinary."

I know almost all the wealthy young men in the capital, but I've never seen that person before.

Oh--

The beautiful woman snorted angrily.

"That's the current Prime Minister, Prime Minister Li!"

Prime Minister Li!

Wang Defu opened his mouth, his legs went weak, and he leaned against the counter.

"Husband, wife, what should we do now?"

The beautiful woman said irritably.

"What are you still standing there for? Put down what you're doing and do exactly what the Prime Minister tells you to do."

Yes, yes, yes.

Chapter 15: Summon Li Yunsheng to the Palace!

Morning next day.

On the dragon throne, Jiang Qingying's gaze swept over the assembled officials.
