How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

But Xu Chengling shook his head and said seriously:

"Moreover, even those with small breasts can use it. Just fill the bra with some soft objects such as cotton to achieve the desired effect and regain women's confidence."

"For example, your sister."

"Ah..."

Inside the bedroom, Yan Qiaoling sneezed again. This was really strange. Was she sick?

"Well, although you always talk about it in such an inappropriate way, this is indeed a business opportunity, and it is open to the general public, and it can be regarded as a contribution to Dayan."

Yan Jixue blushed and nodded slightly. Although Xu Chengling's words were not serious, if you listened carefully, you would find that they made sense.

She was well aware of this, but since she started using the "bra" designed by Xu Chengling, this worry gradually disappeared.

Yan Jixue believed that there were many women who had the same troubles as her. Whether they were noble ladies or ordinary women, they all had this trouble to a greater or lesser extent.

If it's too small, it won't look good; if it's too big, I'm afraid it will sag, so I can only wrap my chest with straps, which is not only uncomfortable but also easy to deform over time.

If perfume is a high-end product sold to the upper class, then bras are convenient products sold to the general public.

But the problem is, if we want to show the function of a bra, wouldn't it mean that she would have to wear such shameful clothing in front of many people? Even if they are all women, it's not allowed.

Xu Chengling saw Yan Jixue's worry at a glance, smiled at her and said:

"Madam, don't worry. If you want to demonstrate it, just find any woman who meets the requirements. All you have to do is introduce the benefits of using this thing to those ladies. You just need to mention at the end that you are currently using it."

Xu Chengling believed that as long as Yan Jixue took the lead, bras would soon spread among noble ladies and then attract more common women to follow suit.

After all, even the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion is using it, and compared to the bellyband, this style of underwear is obviously more popular among men.

Men are such strange creatures. They think it’s not good for women to wear too much, and it’s not good for them to wear nothing either. They just prefer women who are half-covered and half-exposed, wanting to refuse but also to welcome.

As for why Yan Jixue was asked to introduce it, it's no nonsense. You can't let a grown man introduce to a group of women how to use this thing. Do you want him to wear it on his body?

Obviously, Yan Jixue, as the wife of the Prime Minister and a member of the same class, is more suitable for this job.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try."

After Xu Chengling's careful teaching, Yan Jixue, who had been very resistant at first, finally decided to take the job.

If nothing else, she must do something for the sake of her female compatriots.

Chapter 230: Can't Leave Him

Inside the Qi Ran Pavilion, there sat a couple. The man was young and handsome, while the woman was as pretty as a fairy.

Are they a perfect match, childhood sweethearts? To outsiders, they seem like a pair of fairy-like lovers.

"My lady, when are you going to come back?"

Xu Chengling looked at the woman in blue in front of him. She hadn't been back for some time.

In fact, there is a reason why Yan Jixue stayed in the palace for so long.

As for why, Ling'er often made mistakes in handling government affairs, so she had to go to the palace every once in a while to help her deal with the accumulated government affairs.

Yan Jixue thought for a while, and she had just finished dealing with most of the government affairs at hand, so she replied to him:

"Maybe in the next few days. I also have to take care of the Chamber of Commerce's affairs in the future. I may not stay in the mansion often."

At present, the Chamber of Commerce in the capital has been established and named "Daxia Chamber of Commerce". It was a name that Xu Chengling casually suggested and was then adopted by the empress.

From now on, Yan Jixue will spend less time in the Prime Minister's Mansion. She will spend more time in the Chamber of Commerce, handling some affairs of the Daxia Chamber of Commerce.

Yan Jixue couldn't help feeling a little reluctant when she thought about the fact that she would have less time to meet Xu Chengling in the future.

"It's alright, my lady, just go and take care of your own business, and I, your husband, will take care of myself as well."

Xu Chengling also expressed his understanding of this. His wife was so capable that it would be a pity if she was just locked up in the Prime Minister's Mansion with no place to display her abilities.

"Thank you for your understanding, my dear."

Yan Jixue thanked him, and she couldn't help but feel touched that her husband supported her career.

But this does not mean that she will never come back after going to the Daxia Chamber of Commerce.

In fact, Xu Chengling can still come to the Daxia Chamber of Commerce to find her and reunite with her and her husband.

At this time, a green figure slowly walked over from a distance, holding a plate in her hand, and came in front of the two of them.

"Master, Madam, please have some cakes."

Xia Chan placed the pastries on the table for both of them, and at the same time noticed the slightly blushing expression on the lady's face.

"Xia Chan, did you leave your post just now?"

At this time, Yan Jixue couldn't help but speak, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but glance at the other party.

If Xia Chan hadn't deliberately left his post, not even a fly would have been able to fly in, let alone Xu Chengling.

And she should have known that at that time, she was bathing in the mandarin duck pool.

Facing Yan Jixue's questioning, Xia Chan couldn't help but shift his gaze and said with a guilty conscience:

"After all, he is the master, so I thought it was no problem and left it alone. Don't you think so, master?"

Xia Chan looked towards Xu Chengling for help.

Seeing this, Xu Chengling couldn't help but smile bitterly, looked towards Yan Jixue, and said to her:

"Ma'am, I asked Xia Chan to let me in. It's not her fault."

Seeing Xu Chengling defending himself, Xia Chan couldn't help but feel moved.

But Yan Jixue couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and sighed:

"You, just protect others. If something happens to you one day, no one will protect you."

She figured out that her husband was a playboy. Not only did he find women for her outside, but now he was even trying to abduct her maid.

"Don't I still have my wife here?"

Xu Chengling said with a slight smile, picked up the pastry on the table and tasted it. It was worthy of being a pastry made in the imperial kitchen, the taste was simply first-rate.

After they finished their pastries, they walked around the imperial garden together and finally stopped on a wooden bridge.

Below the wooden bridge is a koi pond with clear water. You can see all kinds of colorful carp swimming around at the bottom of the pond.

Speaking of this, Xu Chengling couldn't help but think of the winter two years ago when he and his majesty also came here.

At that time, he and the empress encountered an ambush of assassins in this place. Fortunately, he tried his best to protect her and saved her life.

Originally, in Xu Chengling's opinion, if the current empress died, his death ending would not be triggered.

But for some reason, his body instinctively protected the empress, and he did not want the empress to die.

Moreover, after he had met the empress so many times, Xu Chengling became more and more confused.

That is his Ling'er. Is she the lady in front of him, or the current empress of Dayan?

Xu Chengling couldn't help but grab a handful of feed and threw it into the koi pond, which immediately attracted countless colorful carps to scramble for it. The scene was quite spectacular.

He couldn't help but look back at the beautiful woman beside him, hesitated for a while, and then asked:

"Madam, who are you?"

"Why do you ask? Of course I am your wife."

Yan Jixue was looking at the colorful carp fighting for food below. She didn't know why Xu Chengling suddenly asked her this question, and it was very strange.

"Yes, you are my wife and the one I love most in my heart."

Xu Chengling nodded.

"At least for now, that's what I think."

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Jixue was shocked. She was so smart that she could vaguely guess something just from the other party's tone.

Could it be that he has figured out something?

Xu Chengling looked deeply ahead and said in a low voice:

"My wife, no matter who you are, we have performed the rituals of husband and wife and done husband and wife things. You will always be my wife, but I want to know who you are?"

"Are you Ling'er?"

Xu Chengling once again asked the question that had been in his mind for a long time.

Facing Xu Chengling's question, Yan Jixue panicked for a moment, but she quickly calmed herself down and replied to him seriously:

"Husband, what are you thinking about? Of course I am your bell."

"If you are Ling'er, then who is the Empress?"

Xu Chengling asked a very stupid question. If she was Ling'er, then the empress would naturally be Ling'er's sister, the current empress of Dayan, Yan Jixue.

"The Empress is my biological sister. I am Ling'er. What happened to you today, my husband?"

Yan Jixue kept herself calm and answered his questions seriously.

Xu Chengling turned around, took her slender hand, stared at her with his dark eyes and said:

"Well, my lady, I believe what you said. I was worrying too much."

He shouldn't have doubted the woman beside him. Her sincerity towards him was beyond words, and he saw it all, so he also determined that the person in front of him was Ling'er.

But Xu Chengling's words made Yan Jixue feel a pain in her heart.

She knew in her heart that she was not the real Ling'er, but like Ling'er, she had fallen deeply in love with this man.

But in order to cover up this lie, they had to deceive him with more lies, and he was the only one who was kept in the dark.

Many times, Yan Jixue wanted to confess to him, but when she thought that once the truth was revealed, she might not be able to stay with him anymore, she held back.

She didn't know since when, but she has become unable to leave this man.

"Husband, what should I do? I don't want to leave you..."

Yan Jixue thought to herself.

Now Xu Chengling became suspicious again. How long can they hide this truth?

Chapter 231 Goodbye Queen Mother

In the end, Yan Jixue did not choose to confess everything to Xu Chengling.

Because this lie was not just hers, but a lie she and Ling'er made up together.

Yan Jixue found that she was very selfish. She didn't want to leave Xu Chengling, so she didn't dare to tell him the truth.

Even though Xu Chengling had told her that no matter what her identity was, she was his wife, this was the only thing that would not change.

However, she is not his childhood sweetheart after all, but the current empress.

The person he loves should be Ling'er, who always thinks of him and is even willing to exchange sedan chairs with him so that she can sit on the throne to protect him.

Although Yan Jixue was angry when she knew the truth, what was the use of being angry? Everything had become a reality and she and Xu Chengling had become husband and wife.

However, Ling'er, who is supposed to be married to Xu Chengling, has to hide her true identity and endure the pain of not being able to reveal her true identity even though her lover is right in front of her.

Yan Jixue placed her hands on the guardrail beside the bridge, the breeze blowing her black hair. She couldn't help but think of the first time she met Xu Chengling. This guy actually said bad things about her in front of her and wanted to rebel against her.

Not only did he want to rebel, he also wanted to drag Ling'er along. However, he certainly didn't expect that the Ling'er in front of him was actually the current empress.

Thinking about it carefully, after Yan Jixue heard it, she even wanted to kill him.

But I don't know since when, I slowly put an end to his outrageous words, and even felt that... there was some truth in them?!

So, Yan Jixue couldn't help but ask Xu Chengling a question, which was the same question he had asked herself before.

"My husband, what do you think of the current empress's performance?"

Xu Chengling thought about it and said:

"When I first met the empress, I thought she was a loser, but as I met her more and more, I began to understand the difficulties of being an empress. Compared to men, women need to put in more effort to govern a country."

"So do you still want to fight her?"
