Shen Yunjiao was busy from morning till evening that day, without even having time to stop and rest or have a drink of water.
Fortunately, hard work pays off. After a busy day, all the perfumes in the shop were sold out, most of the rouge was sold out, and more than a dozen customers had made appointments for consultations.
As darkness fell, Shen Yunjiao instructed Fu Xia to prepare the carriage while she reviewed the reservation list once more.
Just as Shen Yunjiao was engrossed in her work, a beautiful young woman appeared in front of the counter.
She was nearly scared to death by the woman who suddenly appeared when she looked up.
Luo Lan smiled sweetly at Chen Yunjiao and said, "Hello, Miss Chen."
Princess of the Northern Hu?
Why did she come alone?
Suppressing her surprise, Shen Yunjiao bowed to Luo Lan and said, "Princess, I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner." After speaking, she walked out from behind the counter and, after meeting Luo Lan's gaze, smiled and asked, "Is there anything the princess needs? However, you are a little late, and many things have been sold out."
After walking around the hall, Luo Lan turned around and said to Shen Yunjiao with a smile, "Miss Shen actually understands the principle of first come, first served. I am truly surprised."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunjiao's smile froze.
Has this princess lost her mind? Coming here to be sarcastic and unhelpful.
Only Shen Yunjiao and Princess Beihu remained in the clinic, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
Shen Yunjiao guessed that this guy probably didn't just come here for a stroll, so she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Princess Loran, please speak your mind."
Loran smiled with her fox-like eyes, casually picking up a piece of rouge and playing with it in her hand. Her nails were beautifully manicured and long, and with a gentle flick, she sent the soft rouge flying to the ground.
Shen Yunjiao's eyes immediately turned cold, but then Luo Lan spoke slowly, "I've long heard that the daughter of the Prime Minister of Dayong is beautiful and intelligent, so why is she confused today? I've come to see you because I have something to discuss."
She casually tossed her hair, revealing a crooked pink rope with a green jade stone tied to it from her wrist sleeve.
It was very similar to the one on Shen Yunjiao's wrist, except that Shen Yunjiao's was tied with pink jade, while Luo Lan's was tied with green jade.
After waving the pink rope in front of Shen Yunjiao, Luo Lan found a seat anywhere in the clinic and sat down. When she looked up, her eyes were filled with hidden smugness and contempt.
"Yu's methods for pleasing girls haven't changed at all."
Shen Yunjiao was slightly taken aback, but then instantly realized what was happening.
She meant that Xiao Huaijin had also braided a pink rope and given it to her.
Although she was genuinely annoyed, Shen Yunjiao was too lazy to engage in any competition with this Northern Hu girl. She gave a nonchalant smile and replied, "Men are all the same."
Loran stared intently at Shen Yunjiao, seemingly trying to find some clue on her face, but unexpectedly Shen Yunjiao said to her casually, "If the princess came here specifically to talk about this, then I understand. If the princess likes Dayong's medical skills, she can go and browse elsewhere. I'm closing up shop here."
Loran narrowed her eyes, crossed her legs, and rested her chin on her hand, asking, "Are you really not bothered? Or are you just acting?"
Shen Yunjiao lowered her eyes: "Which eye of yours saw that I care, Princess?"
After a moment of silence, Loran smiled beautifully. "That would be for the best. If Miss Chen really has feelings for Yu, things might be a bit more difficult."
“When I was young, my father sent me to Dayong to be raised, to show the determination of the Northern Hu to live in peace with Dayong. It was at that time that I met Yuzhi. We were childhood sweethearts and innocent children. Before I left, I made up my mind that I would marry him and become the Crown Princess.”
"Now your Emperor Dayong also has the idea of a marriage alliance between the two countries. Your princess has contracted a strange illness, so the only remaining candidates for marriage are Yu Zhi and this princess."
"So, if you have any special feelings for Yuzhi, I advise you to cut them off as soon as possible, or don't blame me for doing something unreasonable. Your clinic has just opened, and you don't want any bad reputation to be revealed, do you?"
Loran has a cute appearance, but her words are ruthless and contradict her innocent and charming appearance.
Shen Yunjiao's displeasure increased even more after being rebuked like that.
She hates being threatened, not even by a noble princess.
Shen Yunjiao crossed her arms and said calmly, "I act with integrity and haven't done anything wrong. You can slander me all you want, I don't care. But I do have a piece of advice for you: if you have the ability and talent, go and manage the Crown Prince. Coming here to shout at me is pointless."
As expected, Loran's expression changed upon hearing this, but her proud nature wouldn't allow her to show any sign of defeat. She raised her head and snorted coldly, "You don't need to worry about that. I will definitely talk to Brother Yuzhi and tell him to stay away from women like you."
Loran looked down on Shen Yunjiao from the bottom of her heart. A woman who was abandoned by her husband after being neglected for many years was not worthy of being her rival.
Shen Yunjiao said, "Then you should go and tell them quickly."
Loran stomped on the rouge with her foot and left angrily. As she turned around, the bell on her bracelet clashed with the jade on the pink cord, making a crisp sound.
Fu Xia was intimidated by this aggressive demeanor and made way for her to avoid accidentally bumping into the Northern Hu princess.
After the princess left with a large entourage, Fu Xia hurriedly ran into the clinic. "Miss, did the princess also come to make an appointment for a consultation?"
Shen Yunjiao slowly put away the roster, shook her head and said, "Just came here to make their presence known."
What Yu Zhi, what Pink Rope.
It's just unpleasant to hear.
Xiao Huaijin has really improved a lot now, even helping the Empress to dance in front of him.
Shen Yunjiao's heavy gaze fell on the pink rope on her wrist, and a ripple finally appeared in her usually calm expression.
She took the pink string off her hand and casually tossed it into a drawer in the counter.
What a terrible pink rope! I even wore it for so long.
The result was that he just made it up casually to give away, so why should he care about it so much?
Shen Yunjiao cursed under her breath.
If she ever sees Xiao Huaijin again, she will definitely take a detour.
Since he was already married, she wouldn't continue her ambiguous relationship with him.
