Yun Youyou nodded slightly and agreed, "Zi Ling, you are right. I don't understand why the emperor would trust the prince to go to disaster relief after the prince caused such a big scandal and stayed in the capital and was easily controlled by Concubine Shu."
Qiu Kui interrupted and said, "Miss Yun, Princess, it was the prince who volunteered to go."
Shangguan Ziling was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she said: "The prince is still the emperor's son, the emperor wants to give the prince a chance!"
After hearing this, Yun Youyou nodded and said, "That's right."
The two watched the team go farther and farther away, their hearts filled with emotion. They chatted while savoring the snacks in their hands.
At the city gate, Crown Prince Jun Yaotian rode on a tall horse, his face full of determination and confidence, as if he was ready to face anything. He bowed and thanked the ministers: "My Lords, please stay! This time, I will live up to your expectations and let the people of Nanlin return to normal life as soon as possible."
Shangguan Dong smiled slightly and bowed in return: "May everything go well for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and that he return to the court soon!"
The ministers around him also saluted the prince and said in unison: "Farewell, Prince!"
Jun Yaotian whipped his whip, and the horse galloped away. The ministers at the city gate watched him go away, and they left one after another until his figure disappeared on the distant skyline.
Shangguan Dong stood there, feeling somewhat worried. During the morning court session today, he noticed that the emperor looked unwell and was in much worse spirits than before.
He secretly asked Imperial Physician Han, who also said that the emperor's spirit and body were much weaker than before, but he could not find the reason.
The imperial physicians at the Imperial Medical Bureau only concluded that the emperor might be overly fatigued and mentally deteriorating, and prescribed some medicine, but the emperor's condition did not improve.
Shangguan Dong sighed, hoping that everything would go well for the prince, and then he went back to his mansion.
Yun Youyou and Shangguan Ziling came out of the Xiangxiangxuan Restaurant and strolled in the bustling street.
Yun Youyou's eyes were attracted by a colorful feather clothing store. She took Shangguan Ziling's hand and said excitedly: "Ziling, let's go look at the fabrics!"
Shangguan Ziling smiled and nodded, and the two walked into the store.
The interior of the store is warm and elegant, with exquisite embroidery hanging on the walls and a variety of fabrics placed on the tables.
A woman in her thirties came up to us. She was wearing an elegant dress and had a kind smile on her face. She introduced herself as Ni Yi, the proprietress of this shop.
Ni Yi introduced them enthusiastically: "Ladies, please come in. Do you need cloth or ready-made clothes? My family has just received a lot of beautiful cloth, and the ready-made clothes embroidered by the embroiderer are also good."
Yun Youyou's eyes lit up and she said, "Take out all the good fabrics in your shop and let me see them."
Ni Yi responded by asking the waiter to bring some cloth of bright colors and fine texture and put it on the table.
Yun Youyou gently touched the fabric with a satisfied expression on her face: "These fabrics are really good, they feel smooth and the colors are beautiful."
Shangguan Ziling also agreed: "Indeed, these fabrics look very suitable for making new clothes."
Seeing this, Ni Yi smiled and said, "You two ladies have very good taste. These fabrics are the best in our store. If you like any of them, you can choose more. We also have professional embroiderers here who can help you tailor the clothes."
Yun Youyou's eyes lit up when she heard this: "That's great, let's buy them all."
Shangguan Ziling nodded in agreement: "Okay, if Youyou likes them, buy them all."
When Ni Yi heard the two people's decision, a look of surprise appeared on her face: "You two ladies are so generous. Then we will prepare it for you quickly." After that, she turned around and directed the waiter to start packing the cloth.
Shangguan Ziling was attracted by a ready-made garment hanging on the hanger. She slowly walked towards the garment, admiring its unique design with focused eyes.
However, just as she was about to touch the ready-made garment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her view.
The figure said coldly: "Madam, I want this ready-made clothing, pack it up."
Shangguan Ziling frowned slightly, she didn't care about this sudden interruption.
After all, for her, Chunxiao and the embroiderers in the palace had already made countless gorgeous new clothes for her.
The reason why she became interested in this ready-made garment was entirely because of its unique style and charm.
However, when she heard a familiar voice behind her, she immediately turned around and carefully identified it.
Sure enough, the masked woman was Ruan Feiyin.
Ruan Feiyin also saw Shangguan Ziling at this time. There was a gleam of resentment in her eyes when she looked at Shangguan Ziling, as if a strong emotion would erupt at any time.
Shangguan Ziling was stunned. She didn't expect to meet Ruan Feiyin here.
Ever since the last boating incident, Ruan Feiyin has been staying indoors. Now she appears here, wearing a veil, obviously not wanting people to recognize her identity.
The two looked at each other, Ruan Feiyin's eyes were filled with anger and resentment. She gritted her teeth and said, "Shangguan Ziling, it's all your fault. You ruined me, you bitch!" Her voice was sharp and harsh, full of hatred for Shangguan Ziling.
Seeing this, Qiu Kui immediately stepped forward and slapped Ruan Feiyin on the face. She shouted, "How dare you talk to our princess like that!"
"Ah..." Ruan Feiyin covered her face, her eyes flashing with resentment. She felt her cheeks burning and the pain was unbearable.
She widened her eyes and stared at Shangguan Ziling viciously, as if she wanted to eat her alive.
Yun Youyou also came over. Although Ruan Feiyin was wearing a veil, Yun Youyou still recognized her at a glance. She asked softly, "Ruan Feiyin?"
Shangguan Ziling raised her eyebrows. She looked at Ruan Feiyin's reaction and couldn't help but feel a little amused. She said calmly, "Didn't I help you? Why do you hate me so much?" There was a hint of sarcasm and disdain in her voice.
