The capital city.
After enduring the three-month period, the time was finally up. When King Yun woke up that morning, he was secretly excited, waiting for Xuan Wen and Xuan Wu to help him untie the wooden plank.
At that moment, Xu Che and Cheng Jianghai's voices could be heard from outside the door.
"Your Highness, we've arrived!" The two men remembered that today was a big day, and they had come early to witness the miraculous moment when the prince stood up.
King Yun glanced at the two people who entered and smiled slightly. "Sit down. Have you had breakfast?"
The two shook their heads, "We got up and came here right away!"
"Xuanwen, go and tell the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the two young masters as well. The three of us will eat together in a little while," the Prince of Yun instructed.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Xuanwen replied and went out.
Xuanwu alone untied the strips of cloth and wooden boards binding Yun Wang's legs.
Xu Che and Cheng Jianghai also came to help.
Soon, the three people untied themselves and then stepped back, staring at the Cloud King.
Yun Wang slowly placed that leg on the ground and tried to move his ankle; there was no problem.
He slowly stood up on his own.
"How are you, Your Highness? Does your leg hurt?" Xu Che asked anxiously.
King Yun shook his head, "It doesn't hurt!"
After standing for a while, he tried to walk, but almost fell. After not walking for three months, he almost forgot how to walk and forgot which leg to step with first.
The three people next to him were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Fortunately, he regained his balance in the next moment and slowly learned to walk. After a few steps, he finally became proficient.
"I'm all better! I can really walk again!" King Yun was so excited that his face flushed.
"That's wonderful! The prince can finally stand up and walk!" Xuanwu was the most excited, his eyes were red.
King Yun hummed in agreement. His adopted sister was no ordinary person; she had actually cured him.
"Your Highness, Miss Li is indeed remarkable." Xu Che was also very excited as he watched Prince Yun walking back and forth on the ground.
When Yun Wang heard them mention Li Mai, his eyes softened. "Yes, my luckiest moment was meeting my god-sister."
"Xuanwu, prepare hot water, I want to take a bath!" King Yun wanted to take a refreshing bath, then go out for a walk in high spirits and tell everyone, "I, Yun Chang, have stood up."
That day, everyone in the capital who knew Prince Yun knew the good news: Prince Yun's leg had healed, he could stand up, and he could walk again.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan and Zhong Hui also hurried to the Prince Yun's residence to visit him.
They were visiting the Cloud King on behalf of their master.
The Prince of Yun knew they were his sister's apprentices, so he didn't treat them as outsiders. He kept them and Xu Che and the others at a banquet in the mansion to celebrate his recovery.
They're all young people, and when something happy happens, they're genuinely happy, so drinking is a must.
Finally, the group agreed to visit Li Mai and Zhou Quan in Qingshi Town in a few days.
Anyway, there's nothing much going on in the capital right now, and Prince Yun has just recovered and doesn't have any important positions to hold, so he can go out and play as he pleases.
Unexpectedly, the imperial edict arrived early the next morning. The emperor had heard that Prince Yun had stood up, so he issued an edict to express his condolences and bestowed many fine gifts upon him. He also summoned Prince Yun to the palace.
The Prince of Yun had no choice but to obey the imperial decree and went to the palace.
Fortunately, the emperor did not immediately appoint him to an official position. Instead, he inquired about him and learned that he had been treated by a wandering doctor whom the guards had met by chance. The doctor left him some medicine to try, and unexpectedly, after three months, he actually recovered.
The emperor was quite happy for him, and after saying "lucky," he bestowed some more good medicinal herbs upon him, telling him to take good care of himself for another year and a half.
The emperor meant that he would be given a new position in a year or two.
As long as he wasn't immediately forced to serve the country, Prince Yun was quite happy and returned to his residence with the medicinal herbs bestowed upon him by the emperor.
After news of Prince Yun's recovery spread throughout the capital, the number of people visiting Prince Yun's residence increased daily.
Especially after hearing that the Emperor had summoned Prince Yun, the court officials all rushed to Prince Yun's residence, some wanting to get on good terms with him, and others wanting to marry their daughters to him.
Yun Chang was thoroughly fed up with this kind of life. He invited Chu Yan and Zhong Hui, Xu Che and Cheng Jianghai, and the five of them quietly left the capital one morning to go out and have some fun.
When the visitors were once again turned away at the gates of the Prince's mansion, they could hardly believe it. The Prince of Yun had recovered from his illness, but he was even more arrogant than before!
However, the steward of the Prince Yun's mansion gave them the excuse that the prince had gone on a trip.
Who would believe that a patient who has just recovered would not stay comfortably at home to recuperate, but instead go out to travel?
Could it be that he's been cooped up in the mansion for a year and is going stir-crazy?
However, those who know Prince Yun's temperament might think it's possible. Prince Yun used to be a general who protected the country and guarded various borders. He probably didn't like the restrictive life in the capital.
Regardless of what the people in the capital thought, Prince Yun, along with his four companions and their respective guards, a group of more than ten people, left the capital on horseback.
They stopped to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, and stayed in towns whenever they came across them, slowly making their way towards Qing Shi Town.
Li Mai's shop was originally scheduled to open in mid-February, but by the time Zhou Lin and Zhou Lainiu had finished preparing, it was already the end of February.
Li Mai simply set the opening date for the third day of the third month.
After tidying up the shop, they moved all the fabrics to the second floor.
The second floor is also decorated comfortably, with four soft couches surrounding a large workbench, where embroiderers can sit and embroider, and rest when they are tired.
Li Mai plans to hire four skilled embroiderers from the town to work on the second floor of the shop. When there are no urgent jobs, they will work on the stock of fine embroidery, and when there are urgent jobs, they will help to rush them.
After all, the embroiderers on display represent the image of her shop, so the skills of these four embroiderers must be excellent.
She had already asked Lu Qian to help her find a skilled embroiderer in the town, but she had one condition: she couldn't hire anyone who had worked for the other two clothing shops.
Lu Qian asked her why, wasn't her experience working in a shop a good thing?
Li Mai shook her head and said that she would train her own craftspeople, as long as she could find four people with embroidery skills.
Lu Qian roughly understood some of her thoughts and went to do things for her.
The second floor is lined with a row of display cases along the wall. When you open the case doors, you can see bolts of fabric inside.
The cabinet doors clearly indicate what material is stored in each compartment, just like a doctor's medicine cabinet.
Moreover, there is a small stove outside the back door on the first floor where you can boil water. The people in their shop can boil water there to make tea.
There was no house in the backyard, just a small enclosed courtyard where carriages could be parked.
Li Mai asked Zhou Lian and the others to help build a wooden house that could store charcoal.
