Downstairs, a guard who looked like an imperial bodyguard came up with a group of people on horseback.
"Miss Ye Shaohua of Tianxia Embroidery Workshop, this is the plaque given by His Majesty to Tianxia Embroidery Workshop. Please keep it." The person who came to give the plaque to Ye Shaohua was a third-level official.
Even the magistrate of Jiangling had to kneel down in front of the imperial guard.
However, in front of Ye Shaohua, he was extremely respectful.
Ye Shaohua raised her eyebrows and took it respectfully.
However, his expression was incomparably calm.
The Imperial Bodyguard took a deep look at her. Naturally, he didn't think that just by looking at her, he felt that the person in front of him wasn't an ignorant woman. Not to mention, the Emperor and the others had already confirmed that the characters on the beautiful landscape map were Ye Shaohua's.
Of course, this imperial guard had seen it before.
Seeing Ye Shaohua accept it, he hung the new plaque of Tianxia Embroidery Workshop on the door and then left.
And when the passing people and high officials saw that the plaque was written by the Emperor, they all knelt down on the spot. They looked at Tianxia Embroidery Workshop with shock, respect and curiosity.
After the imperial guard left, they couldn't help but go to Tianxia Embroidery Workshop.
However, before they went in.
Another group of people came.
This time, it was not an imperial bodyguard, nor was it a reward from the Emperor. It was the Emperor's favorite concubine, who was also the Crown Prince's mother, Concubine De. She did not send a plaque, but sent people to deliver treasures one after another.
Concubine De sent her most trusted Nanny Wu. She looked at Ye Shaohua several times.
Then she bowed to Ye Shaohua, "Miss Ye, Concubine De likes your mermaid silk very much."
She calmly glanced at Ye Shaohua. Although this girl was a commoner's daughter, her bearing was not inferior to that of the prime minister's granddaughter, especially her good handwriting.
Nanny Wu and Concubine De didn't have a high status, so they didn't look down on Ye Shaohua.
Especially after Mu Jiyun gave her some advice, Concubine De was very curious about Ye Shaohua, so she asked Nanny Wu to take a closer look.
Even Nanny Wu was shocked by what she saw.
Naturally, she was more respectful.
The people around them saw that it was not enough for the imperial guards to come. Even Concubine De's servants came.
Especially the gifts given by Concubine De, those with a discerning eye would naturally know that they were all treasures.
Not to mention these commoners, even Ye De, Ye Qingqing, and the big merchant in the restaurant opposite were stunned. They stared blankly at the Emperor's people. Not only had the Emperor's people come, but Concubine De's people also came in person.
Concubine De's people left.
Ye Qingqing could not help but clench her fists tightly, thinking that this was the end.
She didn't expect that the arrival of the emperor and the empress was just the beginning!
"Thirteenth Prince, give World Embroidery Workshop a box of South Sea pearls!"
"Pavilion Elder Li gifted the World Embroidery Workshop a painting scroll!"
"Imperial Inspector Liu …"
"…"
These people were famous, and there were also people who got the news from somewhere. One by one, they queued up. For a moment, the World Embroidery Workshop could be said to be a boiling cauldron of voices. It was very difficult for ordinary people to get in.
Ye De stared blankly at this scene, watching Ye Shaohua receive one noble person after another.
Those noble people were very in awe of her, their mouths wide open.
Especially when Madam Ye, whom he had long abandoned, was beside Ye Shaohua.
Ye Qingqing's slightly proud face suddenly disappeared, and her face instantly turned deathly pale.
She clenched her fists tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
At the same time, the people in the restaurant were discussing. Just now, so many noble people had come to the embroidery workshop. They had asked some servants about the news, and naturally found out more or less.
"I heard that it was Miss Ye who embroidered the beautiful landscape painting. His Majesty likes it very much, especially when I heard that the beautiful landscape painting has been escorted to the palace overnight. I really want to see how spectacular this unparalleled embroidery is. I didn't expect that our Jiangling will have another Ye Xiuniang who is not comparable to the one from a hundred years ago."
"Is it Miss Ye Qingqing from the Ye family?"
"Pfft — how can you compare Miss Ye with Ye Qingqing from the Ye family? They are not comparable at all. Do you know that Miss Ye Qingqing also embroidered a pine crane painting for His Majesty? Guess what? His Majesty didn't even see it. It is still in the palace. How can it be compared to the beautiful landscape? "
"…"
The people in the restaurant were all amazed.
Ye Qingqing was on the verge of collapse.
Ye De could not react for a long time.
The merchant who had wanted to discuss business with Ye De suddenly stood up. "Sorry, Master Ye, we will talk about the business with Jiangling embroidery workshop next time."
He had wanted to talk to Ye De nicely.
But he saw that many people downstairs had heard the news and rushed over to the World Embroidery Workshop.
His expression changed.
He did not care about talking to Ye De and hurried out of the restaurant to the World Embroidery Workshop, completely ignoring Ye De and Ye Qingqing.
Ye Shaohua and the World Embroidery Workshop became famous and naturally became royal merchants.
The meaning of the beautiful landscape painting was so good that the Crown Prince's reputation became more and more widespread in the Jiangling area.
Knowing all this, the Thirteenth Prince was naturally unhappy.
"You said you saw the Crown Prince give the thing to her?" Hearing this news, the Thirteenth Prince smiled mockingly. "He is indeed Father's son. He is very like Father. Arrange for him to go to the Yellow River tomorrow to control the flood. He will not come back so soon. Give her to me before he comes back."
The counselor beside him frowned. "Thirteenth Prince, Ye Shaohua has a close relationship with the Crown Prince. Will she …"
"No need." The Thirteenth Prince looked at all the information about Ye Shaohua in the secret letter and shook his head. "She is just an embroidery maid. You think too much."
The Crown Prince was good at everything except for one thing. He was very similar to the Emperor, but there was one fundamental difference.
Mu Jinyun's family did not have many henchmen. If he married the granddaughter of a minister, he would still have a place in the court.
But …
