Chapter 346 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold and Ascetic Monk 50
Yu Yao was unaware of Xuan Ji's sad mood, as she had already left Prince Wei's Mansion.

I originally wanted to go back directly to my house in Wuyi Lane, but as I had not yet visited the shops in the capital, I decided to go there instead.

Located at No. 18 Waicheng South Street.

She walked slowly into the shop. The sunlight filtered through the carved windows and sprinkled into the shop, casting a soft coat on the small space.

The air was filled with the delicate scent of new fabric, tinged with the natural aroma of wood.

The store has been renovated and its style is basically the same as Yaohuafang in Lianhua County.

The shop was quiet and peaceful, with only the slight sounds of Liu Yun sorting the goods.

On the shelves on both sides, newly made clothes and bags are hung in an orderly manner. Those exquisite and novel styles appear particularly elegant and beautiful under the reflection of light and shadow.

Liu Yun was concentrating on sorting the goods. When she heard the noise, she looked up suddenly. Seeing that she was very happy, she quickly put down the work in her hands and walked over with a smile.

"Madam, why are you free to come here today?"

Yu Yao smiled faintly, "I just happened to have something to do and passed by here, so I stopped by to take a look."

She glanced around the store and saw that there were no problems, so she asked, "I see the store is almost ready, when do you plan to open it?"

Liu Yun followed beside him and said softly, "The decoration is almost done, and the goods are ready. After a few more days of preparation, we can choose an auspicious day to open the store."

She nodded slightly, and reached out to gently touch an exquisite piece of clothing on the shelf, the delicate fabric sliding across her fingertips. "Yes, the style is novel and unique. I have never seen these styles in the capital. If the store opens, these clothes should sell well."

She withdrew her hand from stroking her clothes and looked at Liu Yun, "Please spend more time and effort these days to ensure that the opening goes smoothly."

Liu Yun nodded solemnly, "Madam, rest assured, I will make sure everything is arranged properly."

Yu Yao paced back and forth in the shop, thinking about the opening of the business. Although Yaohuafang's styles were novel and unique, the competition was bound to be fierce in such a prosperous place as the capital.

She frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look in her eyes, "By the way, how is the publicity going?"

Liu Yun hung a piece of clothing on the rack. Upon hearing her words, she hurriedly said, "Madam, I have asked people to post notices all over the capital, and also sent people to send invitations to some wealthy families. I believe that when the store opens, there will definitely be people coming to show their support."

She smiled and nodded, looking at Liu Yun, "Thank you for your hard work."

But in my heart I was thinking, why not let Dugu Ye come over for a look on the opening day.

The celebrity effect is just like the stars in the modern dimension.

A clothing store that is even frequented by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so why would it be afraid of those noble ladies from the capital coming?

By then, coupled with these novel and unique styles, business will surely be booming.

Thinking of this, she felt much better.

Seeing Madam laughing to herself, Liu Yun was puzzled. While tidying up her clothes, she smiled and asked, "What are you thinking about, Madam? Why are you so happy?"

Yu Yao glanced at Liu Yun and smiled slightly, "It's nothing, you will know when the time comes."

Seeing that the lady didn't want to talk any more, Liu Yun didn't dare to ask any more.

The two talked about something else and then she left.

In the days that followed, Yu Yao often had secret meetings with Dugu Ye. Either she went to the East Palace, or Dugu Ye came to Wuyi Lane to find her. However, no one noticed. They were very much in love and very happy.

If she missed the child, she would go to Prince Wei's mansion. As a spider spirit, she came and went without a trace. As long as she didn't want to be discovered, no one would notice her where she went.

One night when she left the East Palace, she had nothing to do, so she took a walk around Emperor Xuanwu's bedroom.

Ahem, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I'm just purely curious about what the old emperor was doing at night.

As a result, we saw Emperor Xuanwu staying up late at night, chatting to a portrait of a woman.

"Min'er, I finally avenged you. If you knew about this in the underworld, you should be able to see that vicious woman. It's just that it's more than 20 years late. Will you blame me?"

Yu Yao hid in the dark and frowned slightly when she heard this.

Min'er, does it mean Concubine Min?
The revenge that the old emperor was talking about should be the deposing of the empress and her banishment to the cold palace.

No, the old emperor said: If you knew about this in the afterlife, that vicious woman should have died.

This means that the queen is dead.

The Queen is Dugu Ye’s biological mother. It doesn’t make sense that she wouldn’t feel sad at all after her mother died, right?
Could it be that the queen was killed by the old emperor in the cold palace, and Dugu Ye didn't know about this?

That shouldn't be the case. Based on her understanding of Dugu Ye, he should have made arrangements and plans when the queen was deposed.

Yu Yao had no idea what was going on inside, so she just kept this matter in mind.

Then he left quickly, quietly, and returned to his house in Wuyi Lane.

As the days passed, the opening day of Yaohuafang finally arrived.

On this day, the sky was as clear as a gem and there were no clouds in sight.

In front of Yaohuafang, there were lights and decorations, and it was very lively. The red ribbons danced in the wind, as if announcing to passers-by that a prosperous feast was about to begin. Liu Yun, wearing a solemn and gorgeous dress, stood at the door with a smile on her face, warmly welcoming guests from all sides.

Common people from the capital city flocked to the event, including many ladies and young ladies from wealthy families.

Yu Yao also came to the store to help today. She was wearing an elegant purple dress with exquisite patterns embroidered on the hem. Her pretty face matched her perfect figure. When she stood there, she was a typical living signboard.

The ladies were instantly amazed and asked if she still had the same style.

In a short while, not only was the stock in the shop sold out, but even the orders were scheduled for several months later.

Liu Yunle kept teasing her, jokingly asking her to come to the store every day and hang around the door wearing the clothes in the store, saying that her good figure and appearance should not be wasted.

She was speechless after hearing this. Was she being treated as a model?

Not to mention, Liu Yun has quite a business sense. Although he is an ancient man, his thoughts are very advanced.

It’s great that there is such awareness of publicity.

Just then, Dugu Ye walked in surrounded by several noblemen.

He was dressed in an elegant black robe, with an upright posture, handsome, noble, and charming, which instantly caused a sensation.

"Ahhh, is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Why is he here? Could it be that Yaohuafang is opened by the Crown Prince?"

"Impossible. Who is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Why would he engage in business and compete with the people for profits? He probably just happened to pass by and saw the hustle and bustle here, so he came in to take a look."

"makes sense."

Dugu Ye didn't care about the gazes of the people. After he came in, his eyes fell directly on Yu Yao, and the amazement in his eyes was undisguised.

"I wonder where you come from, young lady. You are very beautiful. Could you tell me your name?"

He curled his lips, a wicked smile on his face, and teased.

Yu Yao blushed slightly, "Your Highness, I am sorry for being so rude. How can you just tell others your name?"

At an angle where no one could see, she twisted his waist hard, signaling him to be more restrained and not expose their relationship.

To Dugu Ye, this amount of force was just a tickle and he didn't feel anything at all.

Dugu Ye knew that this was not the right occasion and stopped teasing her.

He walked around the shop in a pretentious manner, commenting on the items, "The styles here are quite novel and unique. Not bad. I'll get a set of all the men's clothing in the shop."

If he wasn't afraid of arousing suspicion, he would have wanted to buy them all.

When the several noblemen who followed in heard Dugu Ye's words, they echoed him and praised him endlessly.

Afterwards, each of them picked out several styles of men's clothing and went back.

It's not just flattery, the main reason is that the clothes in this store are really good. Not to mention the quality, the novel styles are unique in the whole capital.

Liu Yunle was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She was busy running around, saying nice and flattering words as if they were free.

It's just a matter of worshipping these people as ancestors.

When the people saw that even the prince and several famous noblemen in the capital bought it, they swarmed in.

The men's clothing in the store was sold out in a flash, and a lot of women's clothing was also sold.

Because there were so many people, Yunyin was worried about safety risks and signaled His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to stay any longer.

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Dugu Ye did not stay here any longer and left quickly.

Several noblemen also left.

The news that the prince appeared in the newly opened Yaohuafang spread instantly, making the already popular store even more popular.

Many noble ladies from the capital came upon hearing the news, all dressed up gorgeously, like a group of beautiful butterflies.

But when I really arrived at Yaohuafang, I found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already left, and I was filled with regret again.

Afterwards, their eyes fell on the women's clothing and bags. They saw that the styles were novel and unique, and the bags were exquisite and beautiful.

After understanding the purpose of the bag, the ladies found it very convenient and bought it generously.

If the store doesn’t have the item, just place an order and have them made later.

By the time those noble ladies left the store, all the men's and women's clothing and bags in the store were sold out, and the business was booming.

Although they were exhausted and thirsty, Yu Yao and Liu Yun were very happy.

Because all the clothes and inventory in the store were sold out, but there were still orders for several months, the needlework craftsmen had to work overnight to make the clothes and bags as quickly as possible.

She and Liu Yun were busy in the store until late at night, and she dragged her exhausted body back to Wuyi Lane.
