How could the noble masters who had been raised in luxury live with such grievances?
But what could they do? The embroiderers had been employed by the empress, and couldn't be snatched away.
Thus, the nobles and the ministers of the imperial court wrote memorials one after another, requesting the emperor to confer rewards… and not to keep all the treasures for himself.
Feng Qingtian thought that this made sense. He hadn't given the ministers anything during the new year.
He discussed it with Gu Bailu. Since it was spring and everyone wanted to wear new clothes, they would give the noble families some fabrics to make clothes and send a few embroiderers to make them.
Gu Bailu naturally agreed.
She had been waiting all this time for these guys to come begging.
Gu Bailu was generous, too. She rewarded the nobles and the ministers with hundreds of fine silk fabrics, and sent ten embroiderers to tailor clothes for them.
