"This is all thanks to the two bosses being here. You standing in the lobby are simply the store's living signboard!" The shopkeeper and the saleswomen were now free and came over happily to chat.

"That's right. Just based on the two young ladies' unparalleled beauty, it's very convincing to buy our things."

In fact, it is true. Even the eldest princess came to visit today and specifically asked about Shen Leyan’s daily maintenance methods.

It turned out that she had heard it from the Empress Dowager. Shen Leyan also sent the entire set of newly made rouge and powder to the Empress Dowager.

When the eldest princess went to visit the Empress Dowager, she found that her complexion had become better and better, and she was radiant. The two talked about her daily maintenance methods, and the Empress Dowager also inadvertently brought a big client to Shen Leyan and others.

In fact, if a person's mood improves, his complexion will not be too bad, so the Queen Mother's change is also related to her mood.

Now that you have nothing to worry about, are you in a bad mood?

After hearing the news, the eldest princess hoped that Shen Leyan and her friends’ store could open sooner so that she could look radiant sooner.

The eldest princess Xiao Yun, the half-sister of the current emperor, has always been loved by the noble ladies of Zhaojing and can be called a benchmark in the current fashion industry.

If Shen Leyan had known that the eldest princess liked it so much, she would have sent a set to her long ago. After all, as long as she could gain her favor, there would be no shortage of buyers for the things in the store.

However, today we have achieved good results by chance.

Speaking of the eldest princess, Shen Leyan may rarely attend banquets, so she knows very little about her, but Shangguan Yueyin has a lot to say.

"Our business is now prosperous thanks to this princess. Although it was the emperor who issued the imperial edict, it was also due to the princess's repeated suggestions."

Shen Leyan asked doubtfully, "Why is the Princess like this?"

"The princess's husband is a well-known wealthy businessman in Sangluo. The Li family made their fortune by raising silkworms, and later became involved in the silk industry, producing expensive silk fabrics."

"When the Li family expanded their business to Zhaojing, this type of fabric was not popular. The noble ladies in the capital still preferred silk and brocade, which had exquisite patterns and a higher sheen."

"But the eldest princess really likes silk fabrics. They are light and soft, and they also have a natural color. It is because of the eldest princess's love that silk fabrics have become so popular in Zhaojing so quickly."

Shen Leyan nodded in sudden realization, "So this is how the Princess and the Prince Consort became connected? Doesn't that mean the Princess is both powerful and wealthy?"

"No wonder she's so generous!"

Shangguan Yueyin smiled and nodded. "That's right, but I heard about it at some banquets, so I don't know if it's true or not."

Shen Leyan said with certainty: "It must be true, otherwise the princess would not have recruited a businessman as her husband."

"I also believe the rumors are true. Although the status of businessmen has improved nowadays, this incident was still quite incredible before."

Shen Leyan and Shangguan Yueyin chatted for a while and got to know more about the eldest princess.

"I see, the princess is really insightful." Shen Leyan couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for her promotion, silk fabrics would probably not have become popular."

Shen Leyan also likes clothes made of silk, especially those that are very comfortable to wear next to the skin.

Shangguan Yueyin nodded in agreement. "And it's said that the Princess often advises the Emperor and offers suggestions that benefit the people."

"Then the eldest princess should have a very good relationship with the emperor and the queen mother, right?"

"After her mother passed away, the Princess was raised by the Empress Dowager for a period of time. Therefore, she has a good relationship with her and sometimes even comes to the palace to talk with her."

"As for the emperor, I can't say for sure." In Shangguan Yueyin's mind, the emperor's appearance and personality are the kind that make it difficult for people to approach him. He is very frugal with words and can only say a few words to anyone.

But of course Shen Leyan is an exception!

In fact, Shen Leyan was also afraid of Emperor Yong'an's majesty at the beginning, but gradually she was not so afraid after getting along with him for a long time.

In Shen Leyan's opinion, he is the kind of person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

This is indeed the case with Emperor Yong'an, but it depends on the person, especially towards Shen Leyan, where he is a big double standard.

Just when Shangguan Yueyin wanted to make a joke about Shen Leyan and the emperor's recent situation, Shen's mother walked in with several maids.

Shen Leyan shouted in surprise: "Mom? Why are you here?"

Mother Shen took her hand and said with a smile: "I came to see you. I was worried that you would be too busy, so I brought a few people to help you."

Shangguan Yueyin also politely stepped forward to greet Shen's mother, "Auntie, how are you?"

Mother Shen also enthusiastically took her hand and said, "You are Yueyin, right? I often hear the brother and sister mention you. Seeing you today, it is true that your reputation is well-deserved. You are obviously a lady from a famous family, gentle and generous."

Shangguan Yueyin said modestly, "Aunt, you are too kind. I am ashamed that I haven't had the time to visit you in such a long time."

"Good boy, it's okay!"

"We've all heard about your situation. If you need anything, please let us know. When you're free after your busy schedule, you're welcome to visit us anytime."

Shangguan Yueyin nodded with emotion, "Thank you very much, Auntie. I have no way of repaying your kindness."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You and Le Yan are so close, this is just a piece of cake, not worth mentioning."

Shen Leyan also quickly comforted her, "That's right, Sister Shangguan, we will all be a family from now on, why are you being so distant?"

Mother Shen looked at the two of them with great joy and asked tentatively in a low voice, "Are Yueyin and Lebai together?"

Shen Leyan smiled and nodded for the two of them, and also called her brother over.

Both of them were too embarrassed to speak for a moment. They looked at each other shyly and then quickly lowered their heads.

As soon as Shen's mother saw the state of the two, she knew that what Shen Leyan said was true, and they were really together.

She finally put her mind at ease, and now her two children's marriages are settled!

She asked happily, "When did this happen? Why didn't you come and tell your father and me earlier?"

Shen Lebai explained: "It happened just two days ago. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I've just been too busy lately."

Mother Shen asked suspiciously, "Really? Could it be that you declined because I happened to come over today and Le Yan told me?"

Shen Lebai said helplessly: "Mother, do you really have no trust in your son?"

Despite his expectant look, Mother Shen still shook her head.

In her mind, the more serious Shen Lebai is, the less trustworthy he is. He is just like Shen's father!
