THE SECOND OF LIFE EMPRESS
TSOLE 13'S
With a face that was still unsightly in view, Flo tried hard to hold back the angry growl with all this.
His status, which was still very wary of the emperor, made Flo unable to demand justice. Inevitably as long as he was still under the rule of the emperor, he should be able to find his own income.
Not to forget also with his main mission to look for spices and after that he will be the most valuable person because he finds spices for the continuity of flavoring food in the future.
“How do I get coins?” Mumbled Flo.
“Haishh!! In my day, I had no skills except..”.
“...shirt design?”
Flo remembered a little of her skills in designing clothes. But, will in this dimensional space his tastes and responses be the same in his time?
“People in this dimension wear hanfu as everyday wear. Would if I combined it with the design in the future, they would love it?” Flo asked herself.
But Flo hopes big with his skills. Maybe working with tailors and fabric stores can give him a big advantage.
“Do you know any clothing stores around here?”
Dayang Wan immediately answered Empress Ling's question. “Sure empress!! The shop was very famous in this empire, even the princesses of nobles often visited there. If you know what you want to do?”
Considering the remaining money they had left 2 pieces of silver alone made Wan's ladyboy guard. They should be able to work hard again in the palace to get more pieces.
But their money was all running out to buy medicine from the emperor's lashings. Surely he had to go to the city market looking for the needed medicine.
“What's wrong, it's just that I want to do business with him.” Flo's reply made the three servants' eyebrows shrivel.
“Owners... Is the queen really going to do business? What business would you do with a clothing store? The Empress must know exactly whose target market is for whom!”
Little Dayang Wen seemed to tilt his head to the left and slightly looked up a little. Is it true that their empress will be in business? Although he was young, but some knowledge like this he knew very well.
“Hey little day, your brain in business can not I doubt it.” Puji Flo's.
Dayang Wan also began to guide their empress to one of the clothing stores that are quite crowded visitors from the upper middle class.
The shopkeeper standing at the front door seemed to give a friendly smile to every visitor who came and just finished shopping at their store.
“Thank you Miss, come back another time!!” He said to a young noble.
No wonder the place is visited by many customers. In addition to selling quality hanfu, the service provided by the store was so excellent and seemed friendly when greeting each visitor.
“P-emmaise?? Is the empress really going to visit that clothing store?” Asked dayang Fuo restlessly.
Excessive anxiety is felt by Wan's lady-in-waiting Fuo. They were afraid that anyone would recognize the face of Empress Ling and would utter insults as a useless empress.
“Of course! This is the only way I can do our lives in the future. Never mind, don't worry. No one can recognize us in this place.” As much as possible Flo calmed the restlessness of her ladies.
In addition to coming out secretly, the hanfu they used was not so flashy but specifically Flo, he used a thin veil to cover his face. Not to forget the caping rattan covers her beautiful hair.
“Welcome Ladies!” The shopkeeper said kindly to Flo and her three ladies.
“---”
He nodded briefly and entered with his ladies. Awe-inspiring gazes emanated clearly in the eyes of the three Flo maids.
A new lifetime this time they entered this place. The silver-embroidered luxurious Hanfu so dominated the first floor. Could it be that on the second floor it was more than this?
His hand had just wanted to touch the clothes, but was immediately reprimanded by Wan's lady-in-waiting. “Adik!! It's rude to act like that.”
Dutifully the little lady-in-waiting Wen stood still but her eyes were still scrutinizing the hanfu model that her sense of sight could capture.
His eyes sparkled brightly and wondered when he could wear that beautiful hanfu. His mind drifted to compare the hanfu he had with the one displayed here. It is very different, even in terms of quality is very much lost.
Flo became pity looking at the expectant eyes of her little ladyboy. He promised, if he already had money later not only hanfu, even every worker he would buy at a reasonable price.
“Nona!” Call Flo to one of the shopkeepers.
Feeling himself on the call immediately he stepped closer towards Flo.
“Yes Miss, how can I help you? Our store has many jen--”
“I want to meet the owner of this store, can?” Ask Flo directly. While the waiter who intended to explain the hanfu available in their store could not hide the look of his confused face.
‘ Has one of the workers here offended this Miss? ’ Inner.
“B-well, Miss. I talked to him first.”
Soon the waiter was saying goodbye and leaving the four of them in the crowd of visitors. Even some visitors seem to be watching Flo intensely.
The thin veil accompanied by caping makes Flo's appearance so charming. If in the past Flo will feel uncomfortable too when he is noticed around with his fat body, now he already feels confident.
Flo wants to open her own clothing store. But it certainly requires a lot of capital. Did he ask his parents? Uhh!! No!! He wanted to stand on his own feet without the help of anyone who was even his own family status.
After waiting for some time, the waiter returned and immediately directed Flo and her ladies to the meeting place.
“Miss, let me take the Misses all to the third floor. He's been waiting there.” Said the waiter and they followed where the waiter directed him.
It turned out that they were directed to the third floor where the area was so quiet that there was not even the slightest sound. Little Dayang Wen held tightly to the hand of the Wan lady because she was somewhat afraid of the quiet atmosphere.
“Alright, please Miss all go inside. He has been waiting.” Pinta the shopkeeper and passed away to continue her work.
Flo looked at her ladies and immediately invited them in with her.
He saw an old man with a thin body sitting down and checking some paper rolls.
Flo immediately sat on the chair in the room without asking permission first. After all, if he is allowed to meet with the store owner it is the same as he has been allowed to do anything as long as it is still reasonable, right?
“There can I help sweet lady?” Asked the man a bit. Can Flo guess if the man in front of him is now a gleaming man.
Men like this according to Flo can be invited to work together and certainly not much neko-neko.
“I want to take you on business, Mister!” Saying Flo relaxing.
The gaze of that trembling man who had been shady was now a sharp gaze. It seemed that he was offended by Flo's call.
“Cih!! It's rude to call me that. Do you think I'm a man huhh?” Asked the dully man with a soft intonation but impressed snapped.
“---”
It seemed like the man before them was currently unconscious with the asset that was between his thighs. If in Flo's era, surely the man would be a mockery in society.
