Take people out
A month has passed since Princess Shengyang entered Shengjing.
What was talked about most inside and outside the court was that Princess Shengyang actually lived next door to Prince Zhen'an's mansion, and it was said that she would find excuses to visit from time to time.
Some curious people actually went to inquire about the people who went in and out of the Prince of Zhen'an's palace every day. However, due to Luan Zhengya's instructions, even if these people wanted to know something, they could only get some false information from a few words.
For example, Princess Shengyang visited the palace daily, but was only received by the Princess of Zhen'an. Luan Zhengya never showed up, prompting Princess Shengyang to return home alone, shedding tears.
In the flower hall of Prince Zhen'an's Mansion.
In order to avoid revealing her identity as 'Princess Shengyang', whenever Shengyue came to visit, Qin Yuyao would dismiss the other maids and attendants, leaving only her and Shengyue inside, but the two of them rarely spoke.
Every time Sheng Yue came to visit, it was to pass on information to Luan Zhengya, but it was mostly a correspondence. Even when they did talk, Qin Yuyao usually took the initiative to leave.
"This gossip in Shengjing is really unreasonable. Did they see me crying in the mansion?" Sheng Yue was a little impatient, and the teacup in her hand slammed on the mahogany coffee table with a "clang".
Qin Yuyao's eyebrows jumped when she saw this. She had been seeing Shengyue every day for the past few days. As time went by, she had become accustomed to the magnetic voice beneath this gorgeous appearance.
Seeing that Qin Yuyao ignored him, Sheng Yue tilted his head and leaned closer and said, "Princess Zhen'an, I come to your house every day to look for you, why don't you say a word?"
This was not like the way she looked in front of Luan Zhengya. When she was in front of Luan Zhengya, he mostly saw her looking shy, gentle or cute.
In the past, on the grasslands, most of the uncles and aunts who plotted against the grassland tribes with their sisters. This time when I came to Shengjing, I thought it was just a simple joint strategy, but I didn't expect that Luan Zhengya's marriage was actually true.
He had heard a lot about the woman before him recently. Some said she was illiterate, others that she had grown up in the countryside and treated etiquette with utter disdain.
There are also reports that he has no respect for his elders and ignores greetings from his biological father.
But what Sheng Yue saw was that he never put down his books. From time to time, people from outside would bring him some account books, and occasionally he would hear him talking with his subordinates, and most of the conversations were about gold, silver and money.
It seems that he has opened several shops and is developing, and even making a lot of money. Thinking of this, Sheng Yue saw that Qin Yuyao was silent, and couldn't help but reached out to take the book in her hand.
Seeing this, Qin Yuyao raised her right hand high and avoided Sheng Yue's sneak attack.
"Your Highness Shengyue, if you are bored in the mansion now, you can go back." Qin Yuyao had a smile on her face, but the words she said were not what the person opposite her liked to hear.
Seeing Qin Yuyao's harsh words towards her, she seemed like a completely different person towards Luan Zhengya. Sheng Yue gritted her teeth, feeling a rare bit of displeasure.
It's fine that his sister at home said he wasn't as good as Luan Zhengya, as they had fought each other for many years. Being in the middle, he was indeed a little behind.
But why did Qin Yuyao also say such disdainful words like the other two? Sheng Yue narrowed her eyes and retracted her hand.
"I'm here for business. Otherwise, if someone outside gets wind of this, they might suspect Luan Zhengya."
Luan Zhengya had been in frequent contact with the grasslands these past few days. As a princess of the grasslands, Shengyue's constant presence at the Zhen'an Prince's residence seemed quite normal.
Naturally, people outside would not think about confidential matters. After all, as soon as Princess Shengyang came, she boldly expressed her feelings to Zhen'an.
Over time, no matter how Princess Shengyang acted, everyone thought she was just trying to attract Prince Zhen'an's attention.
It is now late autumn, and many trees outside the courtyard of Prince Zhen'an's Mansion have turned yellow. As the autumn wind blows, many leaves fall to the ground.
Soon a maid came to clean up, and Qin Yuyao was a little distracted while looking at the flower hall. For a moment, she didn't react to what Sheng Yue said.
It wasn't until he heard Luan Zhengya's name that he came to his senses: "Your Highness Shengyue probably has no interest in the books I read."
After a pause, seeing the distrust in Shengyue's eyes, Qin Yuyao explained: "It's just the account books of a few shops. What we are looking at today is the affairs of a ready-made clothing shop. It's nothing more than some fabrics and clothing designs."
Did you hear something interesting, clothing design?
"Did you design these clothes?" Sheng Yue thought that these shops were only managed after Qin Yuyao took over. Things like designing clothes should be done by skilled embroiderers.
Although she didn't know why Sheng Yue suddenly became excited, Qin Yuyao felt relieved when she saw that he finally stopped throwing a tantrum.
Qin Yuyao nodded slightly, and simply took out a few design drawings mixed in the account book and handed them to Sheng Yue who looked very interested.
"This design was created by Jiajia and I. The first few styles of clothing we released have received good reviews from the noble ladies in Shengjing. But now that autumn has arrived, we can no longer wear those refreshing clothes."
Qin Yuyao explained, feeling a bit of a headache. She and Ye Jiajia had thought of several styles of autumn and winter clothes, but the few noble ladies who had come to see them recently had no interest.
For a moment, the two of them were in a dilemma. This was the first time since they opened their shop that they had encountered such a difficult-to-sell clothing.
Sheng Yue looked at the few pieces of clothing designs in her hand, each one depicting a rich tapestry of decorative elements. She could see that the top piece had a lot of plush pompoms added for a touch of cuteness.
The photo below shows her wearing a red cape. If she were to go out on a winter day, she would definitely be protected from the cold wind. The red cape was painted with plum blossom patterns, which must be the part that would be embroidered.
Sheng Yue stretched out her finger and tapped the design: "This one is quite good, it should be very popular. Why did you frown just now?"
On the grassland, no one, whether it was the subordinates or her own sister, knew that Sheng Yue was particularly fond of these clothes and jewelry.
They all assumed it was Shengyue's maids, keen on matching beautiful women with good colors. This is why Shengyue often wears androgynous clothes, and even her headdress sometimes features some of the ornaments favored by women.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuyao couldn't help but look at the design drawing that Sheng Yue took out separately. The clothes on it were a set of top and skirt.
The cuffs and hem of the shirt are deliberately frayed, making it look like winter clothing. One can already imagine how soft it must be when worn.
The pattern on the hem of the skirt is the flower and bird pattern that was most popular among women in Shengjing at that time, but the hem of the skirt in the drawing seems to be deliberately drawn larger.
"Why is that? Is it because the actual skirt is bigger than an ordinary skirt?" Sheng Yue raised her chin, a hint of curiosity in her tone.
Qin Yuyao actually thought it was normal that His Highness Shengyue liked clothes. With such a nice color, he should wear some nice clothes.
At this thought, Qin Yuyao suddenly had a bold idea. She glanced at Shengyue discreetly and then explained carefully, "Your Highness Shengyue has a good eye. This skirt is designed to be half as wide as an ordinary skirt. If you wear this skirt, turn around or walk, the undulation of the skirt will be like a swaying lotus leaf, which is very beautiful."
After watching Qin Yuyao with a dull expression for several days, Sheng Yue couldn't help but twitch her lips. This person was really not willing to show any kindness to someone he wasn't interested in.
Thinking that she would have to come over for a long time, Sheng Yue said to kill time, "These clothes have to be worn by someone anyway. If you go out, why not take me with you? I've definitely worn more beautiful clothes than you, and maybe I can even give you some advice."
I didn't expect that before I even opened my mouth, His Highness Shengyue would actually come to me on his own initiative.
Qin Yuyao's smile became more friendly, and she said with a smile: "Why not do it today? I should go to the store to see the progress of the guys."
By then, if this person is happy, he might agree to my suggestion directly.
The two of them had their own thoughts, but unexpectedly they came to the same conclusion.
After receiving the order, Jin Yu and Qing Yu immediately arranged a coachman and took the two of them to the clothing shop.
Hearing that the owner was coming, the shopkeeper came out to greet him. When he saw Qin Yuyao, Shopkeeper Yang smiled and was about to greet her.
The next moment, she saw another brightly colored lady emerge from the carriage. It was a noble lady she had never seen before. Thinking of the recent rumors about her master, Shopkeeper Yang quickly guessed her identity.
He looked at Qin Yuyao with some doubt, and when she nodded slightly, Shopkeeper Yang immediately raised his voice and said, "Greetings, Princess, and Princess."
The carriages of the Zhen'an Prince's Mansion were rarely seen by ordinary people. However, if one was close by, such as when one came across a shop owned by the owner, one could occasionally see one.
Many people had already seen the Princess of Zhen'an's carriage coming out. When Shopkeeper Yang called out at the door, many people immediately looked in to catch a glimpse of her.
But since Qin Yuyao brought the person out, she couldn't let others think that the Prince Zhen'an's Mansion neglected the princess of the grassland tribe.
Those who wanted to watch the excitement could only see the two people's backs from a distance. Just the sight of their backs made many people exclaim in surprise.
Not long after, news spread: The wife of Prince Zhen'an knew that Princess Shengyang coveted Prince Zhen'an, but she still took her shopping.
This was such a generous person that the news spread out. For a time, many people said that Qin Yuyao was generous and virtuous.
People like Zhang Wenhe didn't think so. Luan Zhengya used to have military power, and if he married the princess of the grassland tribe, he could use his war with the grassland tribe to make a fuss.
"If Luan Zhengya really gets together with Princess Shengyang, I'm afraid the people on the grassland will be unhappy." A masked man stood in front of Zhang Wenhe.
She was small and thin, and if the voice wasn't a man's, others would have mistaken her for a skinny woman. But anyone who saw her eyes clearly would have no mistake, for those eyes were filled with murderous intent.
