Damn my ex got struck by lightning

Inside Kunyi Palace.

Ever since the Empress Dowager began to listen to the government behind the curtain and took control of the court, unless it was a major event, Yan Shu hardly saw her, and the last time was some time ago.

At this time, the empress dowager sitting at the head was wearing a blue-glazed gold-rimmed uniform. Her facial features were that of a gentle and beautiful woman. This elegant color was very suitable for her, but after many years of power in the harem, her soft temperament faded away. Most of the time, it was replaced by the fierceness of the superior.

Time has never defeated a beauty, the 37-year-old Empress Dowager is still as supple as a girl, and her skin is radiant and delicate.

Yan Shu had every reason to suspect that the Empress Dowager had secretly hidden some beauty equipment, and her skin condition was too good.

Yan Shu went up with a fancy rainbow fart, which coaxed the Empress Dowager into joy, the aunt and nephew laughed and talked about Yan Yan, and directly left Yu Zaozao aside.

Yu Zaozao: Lonely and cold...

After chatting for a long time, the Empress Dowager remembered what was going on today, glanced at Yu Zaozao indifferently, and asked Yan Shu: "Is that the one in your palace who has been in the limelight recently?"

These words seem to be nothing at first, but combined with the recent gossip in the palace, the flavor is different.

Yan Shu said with a smile: "Auntie, that's an ordinary servant. There's no such thing as being in the limelight. I just saw that she was quiet and clever, so I picked her up."

The Empress Dowager followed Yan Shu's words, cast her eyes on Yu Zaozao, and said pointedly: "It is a good thing for a master to be kind, but if a slave is not grateful, does not know how to advance and retreat, but pushes forward, then he will Not good. Especially those who rely on their own beauty."

Yu Zaozao scratches her head.jpg: Are you talking about me?

Before, Yan Shu fished Yu Zaozao out of Xinzheku, and made up a random reason to promote her to be a first-class court lady. Although there were many rumors and speculations outside, no one would think about beauty.

Now that the Empress Dowager suddenly mentioned this, Yan Shu thought, she wouldn't recognize Yu Zaozao as Chao Qingyue, would she?

Yan Shu cast a sympathetic look faintly.

"Auntie, don't worry, Shu'er will never let a group of servants step on her head."

The Empress Dowager: "I believe in your methods, but there are no absolutes, and it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net." After finishing speaking, she slightly raised her hand, and Amu respectfully presented something.

It was a lotus root pink purse.

"Book, do you know what's in it?"

What can you put in your purse, money.

The Empress Dowager glanced in a certain direction calmly, and smiled strangely, "Open it and see for yourself."

Yan Shu curiously took it, and when she saw the crooked pattern embroidered on the purse, her doubts became more serious, and it looked familiar.

After opening the purse, there were a few broken pieces of silver inside, but what surprised Yan Shu was that there was a small mirror inside, which could clearly reflect the image of a person.

Before she could take a closer look, the mirror was taken back into the hands of the Empress Dowager, who caressed it very lovingly. "Shu'er, the Ai family treats you well on weekdays. Why did you get such a good treasure and didn't share it with the Ai family. Instead, the servants around you took advantage of the loophole and stole it back."

Yan Shu: 0.0

The Empress Dowager: "If Ah Mu hadn't picked up this purse on the road, I don't know how long such a treasure would have been hidden by that servant. It really wouldn't be enough to die ten thousand times!" The end of the sentence was full of anger.

After saying this, she stared at Yu Zaozao.

Yu Zaozao was so angry that she wanted to hit someone: My purse!Is there something wrong with the mirror I paid for? !

Yan Shu understood what was going on.

A Mu accidentally picked up Yu Zaozao's lost purse. The Empress Dowager saw the "expensive" mirror inside, and mistakenly thought that Yu Zaozao had stolen it. After all, she is now a little palace maid. Carrying a baby is indeed easy to arouse suspicion.

Yu Zao Zao is really miserable.

Yan Shu turned sideways to block the Empress Dowager's sight, and said with a smile: "Auntie, Shu'er always remembers your kindness, how could he hide the treasure and not give it to you. Actually, Shu'er wanted to give you a surprise."

She pointed to the small mirror: "This thing is called a glazed mirror. I got it by accident. I think this glazed mirror is exquisite, smooth, flat, clear and bright, but it is too small. Shu'er thinks it is a gift for me." Aunt, you are not sincere enough, so you specially ordered someone to find a larger life-sized glazed mirror."

Same body glass mirror?The empress dowager didn't understand. "what is that?"

Yan Shu frowned: "It's just a big glazed mirror that is as tall and as wide as a person."

"What?" The empress dowager couldn't close her mouth in surprise, a glass mirror the size of a palm would be such a surprise, if there is someone with a face as tall as a person...

The Empress Dowager blushed with excitement, "Did you find the book?"

Yan Shu nodded with a smile: "I found it yesterday, and Shu'er planned to dedicate it to my aunt today."

"Then what are you waiting for, quickly take it and show it to the Ai family!"

Yan Shu quietly bought the mirror and put it in the study, and told Yu Zaozao to go back and get it.While waiting, although the Empress Dowager tried her best to conceal her impatience, her appearance of frequently looking at the door betrayed her.

Yan Shu comforted at the side.

About 10 minutes later, there was finally movement at the door.Yu Zaozao was the first to enter, followed by three guards.

The Empress Dowager couldn't sit still anymore, she stood up and took two quick steps, and asked, "Where's Aijia's glass mirror? Let Aijia take a look."

Yu Zaozao stepped aside, revealing that the three guards carrying things behind him were the glazed mirror wrapped in transparent foam.

The Empress Dowager leaned over and touched it carefully, and immediately said in amazement: "What kind of fabric is this, why Ai's family has never seen it before, it is smooth and flexible, and it is so transparent."

Yu Zaozao naturally didn't bother to explain, so Yan Shu came, she said: "Auntie, this is not cloth, and it can't be used as clothes, it's called transparent foam, it's mainly used to protect fragile items."

The Empress Dowager seemed to understand but didn't understand. When she heard that she couldn't make clothes, she was not interested in entangled with this issue.Immediately, he urged the guards to take out the glazed mirror.

The guards used scissors to cut open the outer packaging bit by bit, and peeled off the glazed mirror from the package. The next moment, the life-sized glazed mirror showing the true face of Lushan made the indigenous people present exclaim.

Because the mirror was big enough, not only did it clearly reflect the appearance of the Empress Dowager, but even several guards and eunuchs.

Except for Yan Shu and Yu Zaozao, none of the people present had seen their own face so clearly, let alone a full-body photo of themselves, and they were all surprised and delighted.

And because this mirror is a dressing mirror, the self in the mirror will be thinner and thinner in reality, but it will not be exaggerated.

The Empress Dowager stood in front of the mirror a few times with her skirt on like a little girl, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.She has been praised for her beauty and beauty since she was a child, but she doesn't know what kind of demeanor it is, and now one of her wishes has been fulfilled.

I saw the woman in the mirror with a slim figure, creamy skin, bright eyes and white teeth. Although she didn't have the youthful feeling of a girl, her frown and smile were full of charm.

The Empress Dowager nodded, obviously extremely satisfied.

"Shu'er, come here."

The aunt and nephew stood together like a pair of sisters of similar age.Under Yan Shu's relentless flattery, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Empress Dowager: "Shu'er, the Ai family really didn't love you in vain. The Ai family likes this glazed mirror very much. I think you have put a lot of thought into it. The Ai family is very pleased. What do you want? As much as you can."

"Auntie is too polite, Shu'er just wants Auntie to be happy." Hey, silver can't be exchanged for gold coins.But...Yan Shu thought about it, and said shyly, "But Shu'er has something to tell aunt."

The Empress Dowager smiled knowingly: "Tell me, what is it?"

Yan Shu: "I want to open a royal factory outside."

"What is that?" The Empress Dowager wondered, "What do you do with a factory?"

"Fill the treasury."

Yan Shu roughly told the Empress Dowager about her idea and plan for making money. The alchemist has already found it, and she is waiting to extract the raw materials needed. She thinks that mirrors can also be added to the plan. You can know how big the business opportunity is if you like it.

If it can be produced on a large scale and sold to nobles and rich families at a high price, then it will be no problem to earn a mountain of gold and silver.

Now that the Empress Dowager is in power and controls the government, it is natural to get her permission to grant land and allocate money to build factories.And a full treasury and strong military capabilities are the confidence of a country, and the empress dowager will not understand it.

Moreover, after the factory is successfully opened, it can solve the employment problem of many people and increase the overall GDP.

However, the initial investment cost is not low, and it needs to be calculated in advance.Yan Shu is not in a hurry for a moment, anyway, she knows that this matter will be settled in the end.

Who can resist the temptation of money?

Yan Shu's abacus was crackling. After the Empress Dowager confirmed the start of work, she had to sign a labor contract with the Empress Dowager first. After all, she provided the plastic and mirror production process, and the fee was not too much Well, there are also the previous manure pipes and human resources, all of which have to be counted as money.

So, after she prepares to make a profit, she will draw [-]% of the profit every month as her small treasury to save money for her wife~
