Chapter 220 4 Princes come to apply for the job of carpenter
Shi Lidie deeply understands a truth:
To act, you have to do the whole thing.
This full set does not only mean from beginning to end, but also means that you should not forget to maintain your personal image not only in front of the target person, but even in front of non-target people.
Her character in the eyes of the prince is a transformation from "coming to Ye State for marriage unwillingly" to "since she is here, she will accept him and treat him as her future husband."
In front of Ye Zhaonan, she talked about interests and deals, and worked hard to become the queen of Ye State in the future.
But in front of Ye Zhaonan's subordinates, she values feelings and promises and is willing to give everything for Ye Zhaonan.
If she went to Ye Zhaonan and said some things, he might not believe them. Even if she said something wonderful and said she loved him deeply, he would probably still have doubts.
But when his trusted subordinate said in person that she cried bitterly behind everyone's back, Ye Zhaonan's heart must have been touched.
After all, she even cried secretly by herself. If Ye Feng hadn't had excellent hearing and happened to hear it, others would have no idea how many times she cried for him. How could this be acting?
From this moment on, Ye Zhaonan would probably never doubt his attitude towards Shi Lidie again.
He is confident and arrogant, so he believes that there is no woman who does not love him. The same is true for Shi Lidie. Although she was unwilling to marry him at first, she is now convinced by him.
But Shi Lidie has her own pride, so she doesn't want to show her vulnerable side in front of others.
Only such a contrast can completely break down Ye Zhaonan's psychological defenses. He will imagine and fantasize that Shi Lidie has deep feelings for him.
Little did they know that the whole thing was Shi Lidie's conspiracy from beginning to end.
After Shi Lidie returned to the princess's mansion, she continued to adhere to the principle of "doing the whole show" and immediately spent her points to exchange the system for a blueprint for a wheelchair.
[Fully automatic mechanical wheelchair, a modified version of the wheelchair used by the famous detective Wuqing in the TV series "The Four". ]
[The entire chair is made of black iron, which is invulnerable to swords and guns, and is not easy to break or shatter. The armrests, footrests, backrests, and seat cushions all have mechanisms that can fire silver needles, release poison gas, etc.]
"The Four" is a very old TV series.
Shi Lidie vaguely remembered that in her previous life, she saw Wuqing, played by Raymond Lam, sitting in a wheelchair, but able to use the wheelchair to fight against the bad guys and skillfully use every mechanism on the wheelchair. It was really handsome!
She prepared the same wheelchair for the prince, but with some things changed.
A wheelchair cannot be made of fine steel or black iron. It can only be made of wood at most. Its biggest function is for transportation, not for fighting, so it can be easily installed with two small mechanisms.
It was impossible for her to make the wheelchair flawless, she had to leave some flaws so that she could control it more easily.
There are no wheelchairs in this world. Just by taking out something casually, Ye Zhaonan would be surprised for a long time, and he would not doubt that he had something better in his hands.
Shi Lidie studied the blueprint given by the system, and then "improved" many places by herself, changing it to what she wanted, and then asked Wen Tan to post a notice outside the princess's mansion:
We hired carpenters with superb skills at a high salary.
The remuneration offered by Shi Lidie was very considerable, and for a time all the carpenters in the capital who thought they had some skills came to apply for the job.
Of course, she couldn't just hire anyone. She had to look at their skills when recruiting people. She set tests for these carpenters, asking them to carve the wood into the shape she wanted. Only those who passed the test would be hired.
Although Shi Lidie set up a threshold, it failed to stop the carpenters from flocking in.
No one knew who spread the word that Princess Yun'an's mansion was recruiting carpenters and the test questions were very difficult, so the carpenters took this test as an opportunity to prove themselves.
As long as he passed Shi Lidie's test, he would prove that he was a very skilled carpenter and would never have to worry about business in the future.
Among this group of people, there is one person who is very special, he is the fourth prince Ye Honghui.
He also came to apply for the position of carpenter.
So when Shi Lidie heard Tan say that the Fourth Prince had arrived, she was completely surprised:
"Him? A prince? He comes to me to apply for a job?"
"Yes, the Fourth Prince not only applied, but also passed the carpenter test." Wen Tan said, "Three days after the recruitment notice was posted, a total of 68 carpenters applied, and only eight passed, including the Fourth Prince."
Shi Lidie thought about it and felt that it was a bit strange that the Fourth Prince suddenly came to her to apply for a job, so she ordered:
"Send someone to keep a close eye on the Fourth Prince and see what he wants to do."
"By the way, don't show up in front of the Fourth Prince. We two have met him before at the entrance of Hanmo Ningxiang Study. If he recognizes us, he might be able to associate it with the booklet 'Brothers Fighting for the Crown Prince'."
"Yes." Wen Tan nodded and responded.
Shi Lidie has always been very careful. Ever since she set up a trap at the door of the study last time and bumped into the Fourth Prince and stuffed the booklet into him, she has been carefully avoiding him and has not met the Fourth Prince.
Coincidentally, the Fourth Prince was not favored and his biological mother died early, so he seldom entered the palace. Therefore, even though Shi Lidie entered the palace so many times, she never met the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince had been working in the Ministry of Works outside the palace, which was far away from Shi Lidie's princess residence and tavern, and the two had never met each other.
But unexpectedly, a recruitment for a carpenter would lead the Fourth Prince to come to the Princess's Mansion on his own initiative.
Eight carpenters are enough to make a wheelchair for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Shi Lidie had a workshop set up in the side courtyard of the princess's mansion, where the carpenters could live and eat, and manufacture and assemble the wheelchairs according to the drawings she sent out.
Since they were eating and living here, Shi Lidie naturally thought that the Fourth Prince would leave.
After all, he still had work to do in the Ministry of Works. If he stayed in the Princess's Mansion every day, it would be considered as absenteeism from the Ministry of Works, which was not a good thing. But unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince actually stayed.
Shi Lidie felt very strange, so she immediately went to Chen Shuting's private custom shop and asked her:
"Do you have any information about the Fourth Prince?"
The Fourth Prince has never been within Shi Lidie's scope of attention. She only knows from the original plot that he often goes to Hanmo Ningxiang Study, but as for other things, she is not very clear.
If she rashly inquired now, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, so it would be better for her to ask Chen Shuting for help.
After all, Chen Shuting's original purpose in running this private customization shop was to expand her network and gather intelligence with the help of the young ladies and ladies of high status.
"You came at a coincidence. I just received a guest who is related to the Fourth Prince." Chen Shuting glanced around, pulled Shi Lidie into the inner room, and said, "Half an hour ago, a young lady left here. I heard that she is the daughter of the Minister of Industry. She said that her father wanted to marry her to the Fourth Prince, but she didn't want to."
After hearing this, Shi Lidie was slightly curious:
"why?"
