Early spring in February.
The first batch of swallows flew into the city of Yanjing, chirping.
The willow trees beside the outer wall of Prince Ning's Mansion suddenly showed some green spots, reflecting the red plum blossoms in full bloom inside the wall.
It really is springtime!
On quiet days in the backyard, Shen Yuyao would have a lot of free time.
After admiring the flowers in the back garden for a while, Shen Yuyao's eyes felt a little aesthetically fatigued. On the way back to Ningkang Palace, she happened to meet Huang who was walking out of Chuxiu Palace.
"Long live the princess." When Huang saw Shen Yuyao, she bowed and came forward with a smile on her face.
"Where are you going?" Shen Yuyao asked casually.
"In reply to the princess, I am grateful to the prince for his grace just now," Huang said with a proud look on her face.
"Oh?" Shen Yuyao raised her eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, I have been granted special permission to leave the palace and stroll along Yongning Street today."
Seeing Shen Yuyao's calm expression, Huang continued, "Many of the maids in Chuxiu Palace are saying that there have been so many new and interesting things on Yongning Street in Yanjing City recently. These are things that I have never even heard of before."
Shen Yuyao glanced at Huang.
Yongning Street?
A novelty?
Shen Yuyao suddenly became interested.
She smiled and asked, "Are you going alone?"
"Your Majesty has graciously allowed me to take two maids and two servants with me." Huang's face was as rosy as a rose, and she was indeed quite pretty.
"Princess, how about you and your maid take a look together?"
"Alright!"
Shen Yuyao smiled and nodded, "Then let's all go together!"
The day before yesterday, Fang, the shopkeeper of Jingrentang in the capital, sent news to Shen Yuyao.
The young master will arrive in Yanjing in the next few days. The main purpose of his visit to Yanjing is to open a branch of Jingrentang in Yanjing.
Shen Yuyao was naturally delighted that her third brother was coming. Now that Huang had invited her, she took the opportunity to go to Yongning Street to see if there were any suitable shops.
Shen Yuyao is now a major shareholder of Jingrentang. If her own business wants to open a branch in her own territory, Shen Yuyao must pay attention to it.
However, Shen Yuyao also discovered that there was still a big difference in the skin between the noble ladies in Yanjing and those in the capital.
The wind and sand in Yanjing are quite strong, so the skin needs more moisture to be adequately nourished. Therefore, we need to develop a new formula to create a "aging beauty cream" suitable for Yanjing.
Shen Yuyao asked Zisu to go to Ningkang Palace to pick up Xia Xiaoxian, and asked Baizhi to ask the palace's housekeepers to prepare a few luxurious and comfortable carriages, and then call the concubines from Chuxiu Palace.
Since it is the prince’s grace, it should be shared equally!
Shen Yuyao wanted to take the ladies of Prince Ning's Mansion to stroll along Yongning Street, the busiest street in Yanjing City.
When Huang heard that all the concubines would go shopping together, it seemed as if the prince's favor was not so attractive anymore.
She smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Highness, your Majesty is so generous!"
......
Soon, several luxurious and comfortable carriages arrived at Yongning Street.
Yongning Street is the most bustling and prosperous place in Yanjing City. Everything sold there is the most expensive and the best in the entire Yanjing City.
On weekdays, the noble ladies and gentlemen in Yanjing City also love to hang out here.
Led by Shen Yuyao, the female members of the Ning Wang Mansion successfully attracted the attention of everyone on Yongning Street.
On Yongning Street, a group of women dressed in gorgeous palace attire came gracefully. Their cuffs were like the gentle spring breeze, and their gentle laughter was as tender as the green spots on the willow trees.
The most distinguished women in Yanjing City held round fans in their hands, half covering their faces, with joy and shyness revealed between their eyebrows, just like the crabapple flowers blooming in Prince Ning's Mansion, delicate and beautiful.
Before they had walked far, they had already become a rare sight in the city of Yanjing, each one more beautiful than the other.
The dazzling array of goods on Yongning Street also made them very interested.
Crystal clear jade pendants, soft and smooth silk, colorful flowers, exquisite jewelry...
The women of Prince Ning's Mansion were strolling around happily.
After turning around the main street, they noticed a shop in the alley next to it that was crowded with people inside and outside the door.
It's strange that the people queuing here to buy goods are completely different from the pedestrians on the main street before.
These people didn't care much about the beautiful ladies in Prince Ning's Mansion. Instead, they were all watching each other to prevent anyone from cutting in line!
"That's the one! The most popular store in Yanjing City!" The maid next to Huang pointed at the store excitedly and shouted to the female relatives.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look quickly." Huang also waved to Shen Yuyao excitedly.
"New and unique mall?"
Feng, who was walking beside Shen Yuyao, whispered the name of the shop.
Not to mention, this name is really attractive, and Shen Yuyao also feels her eyes brighten.
"It's fun, mother." Xia Xiaoxian's chubby little hand held Shen Yuyao's hand and said with a smile, "Xiaoxian, I want to see it!"
Shen Yuyao touched Xia Xiaoxian's little head and smiled slightly: "The little princess said she wanted to see it, so it must be good!"
Shen Yuyao raised her foot and wanted to walk into the store.
"Miss, look!" Zi Su pointed at a notice at the door of the store and said, "There's still a queue!"
