Chapter 379: Exquisite
Liu Yuxiu asked the maid to wrap her hair, apply spices, and soak herself quietly in a wooden barrel.
After a while, the maid came in to add hot water, and she said slowly through the heat: "Are the clothes soaked?" The maid replied: "If you go back to Miss, the clothes have been soaked, and according to Miss's instructions, dozens of spices have been added, and when you take it out, it is simply full of fragrance."
Liu Yuxiu nodded with satisfaction.
Tomorrow, she will be glamorous! In Shen Lian's most embarrassing and humble moment, she can highlight her beauty, and at that time, she wants to see if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will like her! Liu Yuxiu grabbed the wooden barrel with both hands, and her hands were extremely well maintained, tender and white and smooth, as if she could pinch out the water with a slight movement.
Liu Yuxiu looked at herself with satisfaction, and there was nothing unrefined in her body.
Most of the wedding dresses have been made, and only the unique embroidery of ancient times is left.
Xia Liang said a little embarrassed: "Miss, the embroidery skills of the slave maid and Su Mei are just mediocre, and they are not ...... at all" The latter words are not pitiful, Shen Lian naturally thought of this a long time ago, she smiled, and then said to Ya'er: "Go, bring over the things I gave you today" Ya'er did things very neatly, and took out a few looks.
Seeing that Su Mei Xia was puzzled, she replied: "This is something that the master asked me to ask for the best embroiderer early in the morning" "Well, so now I just need you to embroider carefully" Shen Lian took a sip of tea.
"Miss, when did you do these things, why don't we know anything" Su Mei cast a look of adoration at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian smiled, "Let you all know, then isn't my young lady in vain" Several people smiled at each other.
The process is very fast, and Shen Lian has thought of many things in advance, and the preparation is very sufficient, which is almost equivalent to processing semi-finished products.
The reason why I didn't disclose it before was because I was afraid that the wall would have ears, and no one would have thought that she would rush to make the dress the night before the wedding, which saved a lot of trouble! "Miss, it turns out that you already have a plan in mind, so why didn't you tell me earlier, I was so worried," Su Mei complained.
"I told you earlier, you wouldn't have performed so hard, didn't you notice, Miss Biao was happy to see your reaction" Shen Lian raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Su Mei thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case, it turned out that she had played such a big role.
Although a few people have no sleep all night, they are tireless in talking and laughing.
In the morning, when the sun was three poles, a big eunuch in the palace came with two children to greet Shen Lian and her maidservant.
I just came to the palace, looking at the magnificent buildings here, carved beams and paintings, and Yuyu Qiong Tower, which are a hundred times more upscale than many prosperous cities outside.
Although Shen Lian felt that this place was very magnificent, she just quietly admired it.
And the maidservant girl she brought with her was full of joy in her innocent eyes.
"You're the new crown princess, aren't you? Hurry up inside please. ”
The great eunuch bowed as he spoke.
Shen Lian also saluted: "Father-in-law is auspicious, the little girl is the new crown princess Shen Lian, who came to the palace to marry." ”
"Okay, come with me."
The eunuch said as he led the way.
The group walked for a long time, passing through many palaces large and small, Shen Lian's maidservant was still just a little girl who was not yet an adult, and seemed to be full of curiosity about this place, looking left and right from time to time.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, there were many guards standing here, each wearing delicate armor and carrying swords, tall and heroic.
"There is the palace in front, please come with me as the new crown princess.
Your maid will be placed by us, and by the way, we will take her to ** first. ”
The great eunuch said slowly.
Shen Lian nodded and said, "Thank you father-in-law, we have already passed the ** when I was at home a few days ago, she is still a child, and she has been taken care of by her father-in-law." ”
"It's all as it should be.
You may be entering the palace for the first time, and there are some etiquette and rules that we need to introduce again.
I'm afraid that your maid is too young and ignorant in case she breaks any rules, and it's not good, and it's still necessary to have a proper **. ”
The little maid and Shen Lian glanced at each other.
"Sister, don't worry about me, please go to see the emperor with peace of mind." China
Seeing that she was still a child, and her face was still a little immature, Shen Lian was still a little uneasy.
But fortunately, with the eunuch taking care of her, nothing should happen, just go and see her later.
Shen Lian nodded and said, "Then there is Gonggong Lao's troubles." ”
"It's all as it should be.
Now that the emperor is already waiting in the palace, please come with me as the new crown princess. ”
The big eunuch said unhurriedly.
Shen Lian nodded and said, "Father-in-law, please." ”
The two slowly climbed many steps and entered the palace.
Although she was born in a famous family, she still felt that her eyes were shining when she saw such a luxurious momentum of the palace for the first time.
The handsome man in the dragon robe in front of him knew at a glance that he was the emperor of the dynasty, with a handsome complexion, well-dressed, a face like a knife, a sharp and angular face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the two temperaments of majesty and handsomeness coexisted.
Shen Lian didn't think much about it, and knelt down directly.
"The little girl Shen Lian greets the emperor, the queen, and His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Get up, child."
Listening to the voice of this middle-aged woman, a little soft, she slowly stood up, looking at this woman dressed luxuriously, ruddy complexion, graceful and luxurious, although she is middle-aged, she does not look old at all, and it is difficult to see the wrinkles left by the years on her face.
Shen Lian lowered her head, she didn't need to look to know that the three people in front of her were looking up and down on her body.
When she came to the palace for the first time, she was still a little nervous, not to mention that the glasses of the emperor, the queen, the prince and the eunuchs and palace maids present were all staring at her alone, she was somewhat uncomfortable, and she didn't dare to raise her head and collide with anyone's eyes.
"Well, the figure is pretty good, but this dress looks a little weird."
The queen muttered.
"In my opinion, this new crown princess is quite ignorant of etiquette, and she is not particular about her clothes, what is there to look at?" The emperor was open-mouthed, and directly accused him.
"What's this? When I entered the palace, I was not very decently dressed, didn't you take a fancy to me at a glance, Your Majesty? Could it be that I have seen too many beautiful women in Allure over the years, and my vision has become higher? The queen looked at the emperor and said slowly.
The emperor's face was a little bad, and although the expression was not obvious, it could still be seen.
The queen's gaze returned to Shen Lian's body, and she asked slowly: "Okay, you are Shen Lian, the concubine of Shangshu Mansion, right?" "Back to the queen's words, the little girl is exact."
"Well, that's good.
It's a beautiful embryo, the clothes are not bad, and it's very stylish.
Your Majesty, what do you think? The queen said slowly.
The emperor shook his head lightly and said, "Don't ask me how I am, I don't think it's good."
Dress casually, which is not wrong in normal times, but this is in the palace, is this a casual place? I suspect you made it up yourself. ”
Shen Lian said slowly: "If you go back to the emperor, this dress is not sewn up casually, I asked a famous tailor nearby to spend three days to make it, it has its own style, and it is ingenious, and it is specially worn when entering the palace." ”
Seeing that Shen Lian was neither humble nor arrogant, the emperor was a little surprised.
The witch doctor and musicians next to him were very surprised, and they obviously wanted to offend the emperor by talking like this, and they were afraid that they would be pulled out and beheaded directly.
And this young woman didn't have the slightest fear on her face, and she was still uplifting, and she didn't know what she thought, if it was someone else, she might have knelt down and kowtowed and admitted her mistake.
The emperor's face was a little unpleasant, and he said loudly: "You invited a famous tailor to be such a level?" If you find a random tailor in the palace, it won't take you more than a day to make an identical dress. ”
At this time, many people around were still looking at Shen Lian, and immediately lowered their heads after hearing the emperor's somewhat angry words.
At this time, Shen Lian's face was still neither red nor white.
"Your Majesty, there are talented people everywhere in the palace, and the tailors are all famous in the world, even if it is the worst one, it is a generation of grandmaster-level figures wherever he goes, so naturally he can't compare with the tailors that the little girl found outside.
