Chapter 602 Are You Stupid?
After being turned away several times during her visits to the Third Prince's residence, Murong Xue did not give up easily.
After careful consideration, she decisively changed her strategy and turned her target to the Grand Princess.
With her intelligence and cleverness, she successfully won the favor of the Grand Princess and took this opportunity to get to know Princess Jiaoyang.
With the arrival of winter, the noble ladies in the capital seem to be enthusiastic about hosting various banquets.
Every day, different mansions would take turns hosting banquets to entertain guests.
However, it is regrettable that Zheng Sisi and others have never appeared in these occasions, and even the highly-watched Sheng Zhen rarely shows up.
Every time attending a banquet, Murong Xue would attend with Princess Jiaoyang, and would always find ways to bring up the topic between Sheng Zhen and Zheng Sisi.
She fully expected to hear some valuable information from other noble ladies, but the results often disappointed her.
Those noble ladies either kept their lips tightly shut and said nothing, or cleverly changed the subject.
As a result, Murong Xue was never able to achieve her wish and had to return empty-handed time and time again.
The reasons for this situation are not difficult to understand.
Ever since the grand banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival, regardless of whether these noble ladies had feelings of admiration for the elegant Third Prince in their hearts, the elders in their families had without exception repeatedly warned them to completely give up the idea.
After all, the current situation is quite clear - not only is it difficult for them to win the heart of the Third Prince, but even the current emperor is clearly more inclined to Zheng Sisi's side.
Faced with such strong resistance, the noble ladies naturally did not dare to act rashly, for fear of bringing unnecessary trouble to themselves and their families.
If they still insist on their own opinions and refuse to repent, then once something goes wrong, their outcome will be the same as that of those people that day.
The family will never show any favoritism or protection to them.
These words were like a bolt of thunder, striking their hearts hard and making them terrified.
So, since that gathering, they reached a tacit understanding and never mentioned the two people again.
But this gathering was not completely in vain. While everyone was chatting, she overheard that all the ladies present were talking enthusiastically about a shop called "Yuyan Beauty Salon".
It is said that this store was opened by Zheng Sisi, and is extremely famous in the capital. It is deeply favored by the noble ladies in the capital, and everyone rushes to patronize it.
Murong Xue's heart was moved, and she immediately asked Princess Jiaoyang beside her, hoping that she could take her to visit this famous store.
However, what Murong Xue had not expected was that Princess Jiaoyang looked embarrassed after hearing this.
He said helplessly, "Princess Murong, I am so sorry! I don't have a membership card for Yuyan, so I can't make any purchases even if I go there."
Murong Xue was full of doubts after hearing this, and curiously asked: "But I just heard clearly that those ladies all seemed to have membership cards of this store, why don't you apply for one?"
Princess Jiaoyang's expression suddenly darkened, and she spoke angrily.
"Humph! Zheng Sisi and I have always been at odds with each other. We have an irreconcilable hatred for each other. How could I willingly give her money?"
Murong Xue looked at Jiaoyang with disdain, as if she was looking at a hopeless idiot.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said sarcastically: "I say, are you stupid? There is such a magical place that can keep people young forever, but you don't come."
"Look at the people around you. They have all become beautiful, but you are the only one who still maintains your original appearance."
After saying that, she took Jiaoyang's hand without further ado and spoke enthusiastically.
"Let's go. I'll treat you today. I've always remembered your care for me in Daiyue. I'm here to help you get a membership card."
So, the two of them got on a beautifully decorated carriage together.
The wheels rolled forward, making a crisp sound.
Not long after, the carriage slowly stopped in front of "Yuyan"'s door.
At this time, the streets nearby were already bustling with people, traffic and noise.
There was a constant stream of vehicles coming and going, and from the eye-catching logos on the carriages, one could easily tell that these were luxurious vehicles from the ministers' mansions.
Because they arrived a little late, the carriage could no longer move forward and had to stop some distance away from "Yuyan".
Murong Xue and Jiao Yang had no choice but to get out of the car and walk, followed by their personal maids.
