After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Unlike me, my body has never fully recovered since I helped Brother Yan Yi dispel the evil spirit. The imperial doctors have tried their best to treat me, but there has been no significant improvement..."

Having said that, Shen Yumian looked at Cui Rong meaningfully.

Cui Rongrong caught this subtle change, but she just responded with a gentle smile.

"It seems that the prescription I prescribed for Sister Shen last time was not effective enough, but the imperial doctors are experienced and I believe they will soon find a treatment method suitable for Sister Shen."

Her words were confident, and she also did not forget to comfort Shen Yumian, "Don't worry, Sister Shen, you were injured for the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince and the Queen will definitely not stand idly by."

Although Shen Yumian was unwilling in her heart, she still maintained her gentleness on the surface. She bit her lower lip lightly, with a hint of bitterness in her voice, "I hope so. I hope the imperial doctors can find a good solution as soon as possible."

At this time, the clerk nearby, seeing that their conversation had come to an end, cautiously stepped forward to ask. His attitude was respectful and cautious, as he knew that every customer here was either rich or noble and should not be neglected easily.

"Ladies, do you have any fabrics you like? I can introduce them to you in detail."

Shen Yumian glanced at the fabrics displayed outside the door, with a hint of disdain in her eyes, "These are all outdated styles, it's really hard to satisfy people."

Seeing this, the clerk immediately apologized with a smile and said sincerely, "I was inconsiderate and worried about disturbing the ladies' fun. Please follow me upstairs, where there are more exquisite products."

Following the clerk's guidance, they came to the second floor.

There is a wide variety of fabrics here, in colorful and varied textures.

Shen Yumian's eyes shuttled through the many fabrics, and finally stopped on a piece of fabric with unique color and fine texture, but she deliberately showed hesitation, "The fabrics here are indeed much more exquisite than those downstairs. Sister Cui and Sister Cui, please choose first."

Cui Yunhe seemed a little overwhelmed by all the choices. She carefully selected a few pieces of fabric and showed them to Cui Rong with great anticipation, "Sister, I think these fabrics are very suitable for you. If you wear them at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, you will definitely become the focus."

Shen Yumian narrowed her eyes and examined the fabrics calmly.

He sneered secretly in his heart, Cui Rong really wanted to shine in front of the Queen Mother!

But Shen Yumian would never allow this to happen.

So, she raised a sly smile and interrupted Cui Yunhe's words, "Sister Cui, how can you let your sister dress so plainly for such an important occasion as the Queen Mother's birthday? In the past, the Emperor would celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday with great fanfare. Although the Queen Mother doesn't like too much noise, we can't let the Queen Mother's birthday party seem deserted and boring."

As she spoke, she slowly walked to a piece of colorful and particularly eye-catching fabric, motioning the clerk to show it to Cui Rongrong, "Sister Cui, this piece of fabric is most suitable for your temperament. If it is made into a skirt and you wear it, it will definitely make the Queen Mother's eyes light up. Moreover, I heard that the Queen Mother has a special preference for you. The birthday banquet is a good opportunity for you to show your style."

There was a certainty in her words, even making Cui Yunhe beside her almost believe it.

However, Cui Rong keenly caught the unkindness in Shen Yumian's words.

It was well known that the Empress Dowager always preferred tranquility and disliked publicity. Shen Yumian's move obviously had ulterior motives, intending to make her lose her composure at the birthday banquet by being too ostentatious and thus displease the Empress Dowager.

Cui Rongrong maintained her signature gentle smile and spoke softly, "Sister Shen's words do make some sense, but the color of this fabric is indeed too eye-catching. I'm afraid it will inadvertently steal the empress dowager's limelight. It's not very appropriate."

"I understand that Sister Shen prefers bright colors, but at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, we should still keep a low profile so as not to steal the show."

Shen Yumian's face changed slightly when she heard this. She had originally wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Cui Rong, but she didn't expect to be convinced by the other party with reason. The resentment in her heart grew wildly.

Her clenched fists trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment, as if she wanted to pierce through Cui Rong with her gaze.

Cui Rongrong, on the other hand, looked calm and composed. She knew very well that Shen Yumian would not give up, especially since Shen Yumian proposed to dance with swords at the birthday banquet. Her tone sounded more like an order than a request. Whether she was willing or not, Shen Yumian would try to make it happen and take this opportunity to embarrass her in front of the emperor.

However, Cui Rongrong had already prepared a plan to deal with it.

After choosing the fabrics, she noticed that Shen Yumian was watching them eagerly. She not only recorded their choices but also whispered to the clerk.

The clerk was experienced and immediately nodded in understanding.

Cui Rong saw all this, but she was not panicked.

She already knew what Shen Yumian was thinking.

She turned to look at Cui Yunhe, her eyes full of tenderness, "Yunhe, do you have any other fabrics you like?"

Cui Yunhe shook her head and gently took her arm. "These are enough, sister, let's go pick out other items."

When Shen Yumian heard that the two of them had other things to do, she mustered up her courage, approached them slowly with a bit of shyness and expectation, and whispered softly: "Where are Sister Cui and Sister Cui going? If you don't mind my abruptness, can you allow me to go with you and enjoy the prosperity of the capital together?"

After she finished speaking, she exhaled softly, a trace of loneliness revealed between her brows, "Recently, rumors have been spreading all over the capital, and I have tried to invite Sister Cui to a small gathering several times, but due to the disturbances from the outside world, we ended up parting on bad terms."

"Fortunately, times are different now and the rumors are gradually disappearing, so I dare to go out for a while. I hope Sister Cui and Sister Cui will not blame me for my rudeness." Shen Yumian's voice trembled slightly, and she seemed particularly weak and helpless.

Faced with Shen Yumian's request, Cui Yunhe looked hesitant and turned to look at Cui Rong, as if seeking advice.

Cui Rongrong smiled, and said gently, "Why did Sister Shen say that? How could we dislike it? I think Sister Shen has been bored at home for a long time. Going out together is just the right way to relieve her boredom."

Shen Yumian was overjoyed when she heard this, but she nodded implicitly. The three of them then left the cloth shop side by side and walked towards the silver shop.

When the shopkeeper of the silver shop saw Shen Yumian, he immediately smiled and stepped forward: "Ah, Miss Shen, it's been a long time since we last met. I have carefully kept all the new jewels and precious stones for you. I was just thinking about when to send them to Cui's house, but I didn't expect to meet you here today."

Shen Yumian keenly caught the subtle difference in the shopkeeper's attitude towards Cui Rongrong and her sister. She was secretly startled, then straightened her back and a confident smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She thought to herself that she should be the center of everyone's attention and should not always be overshadowed by Cui Rong's halo.

So, she opened her red lips and said, "Shopkeeper, you have a good memory. Today I am here with Sister Cui and Sister Cui. You may choose some of the latest hairpins and rings for them first. I am not in a hurry."
