In the afternoon, Sun Jin, the head of the Shangyi Prison, received a decree from the Queen Mother in the Inner Palace, informing him that Princess Kangning would personally come to choose the style of clothes, and asked him to make sure that the princess was satisfied, because this was Princess Kangning's personal selection of the style of the dowry dress for her own marriage.

Sun Jin didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly ordered the little eunuchs in the prison to take out all the freshly ironed clothes and put them on the board of the big house for the princess to choose a style. Sun Jin was in a bit unhappy, the princess was going to get married, and the idle days of the Shangyi Supervisor were coming to an end, and from today on, there would be at least a few months for the entire Shangyi Supervisor to be in a state of tension.

There are hundreds of sets of four seasons dresses, wedding dresses, casual dresses, and regular dresses for the princess's marriage, as well as dozens of sets of clothes for future horses, but they are all for the Shangyi supervisor to come to Zhang Luo. After selecting the style and color, it is handed over to the needlework bureau to make the garment according to the determined pattern and fabric, and the Shangyi supervisor is also responsible for communicating up and down, supervising the process of making the garment, accepting the finished garment, and striving for perfection. If there is a piece that does not match the style chosen by the princess, it will be scolded at the lightest, and the board will be at the worst, and it will be a headache to think about.

Soon after, Princess Kangning arrived at Shangyi Prison, Sun Jin carefully waited for her to sit on the brocade bench and drink tea, and the palace maids took the clothes one by one and unfolded them to show Princess Kangning, if they thought they were good, they nodded, and if they felt bad, they shook their heads, and after more than an hour, there were only seven or eight pieces that could enter the eyes of the princess. It is necessary to know that there are hundreds of clothes of various colors and styles, all of which are made by beautiful Seiko, and in Sun Jin's opinion, all of them are incompatible, but unfortunately it is not him who makes the decision, but Princess Kangning.

"Sun Jin, you have a lot of clothes here, and this palace is a little picky, it's not that your clothes here are not good, it's that this palace really doesn't know how to choose." Princess Kangning's red lips twitched, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Sun Jin hurriedly said: "Your Highness's slow selection is, if it doesn't work today, it will be tomorrow, and if it doesn't work tomorrow, there will be the day after tomorrow, in short, the selection will be satisfactory, and the slaves and maids will serve every day." ”

"Who is impatient to stay with you every day? The palace just wants to choose the tricks as much as possible, but it's not good if it's too casual, the palace actually wants Hongying and them to choose on their behalf, but I'm afraid that the queen mother will scold the palace for being too sloppy, after all, it's a lifelong event. ”

"Your Highness is right, if Your Highness is tired, you can rest and pick again." Sun Jin said respectfully.

"That's it, I don't have the energy to choose, so let's do it, when I was young, I remembered that the clothes that the imperial aunt carried when she got married were very beautiful, so it was better to follow the style of the imperial aunt's wedding clothes, it must be appropriate, and the main palace of the province is nerve-wracking here."

"Your Highness is really smart, this is a trouble-saving way, those clothes have a foundation to keep in the old treasury, and the slave and maid ordered someone to take them out immediately for His Highness to see."

Princess Kangning got up with a smile and said, "I'll go and see for myself, but I don't have to move around, so as not to labor you." ”

"How can this be done, the old treasury is all stored in the previous dynasty, and it has accumulated dust for a long time, and it is not appropriate for His Highness to go in."

"I'm not afraid of getting dirty, Hongying Hongyu will accompany me in, others don't have to follow, Sun Jin, lead the way."

Sun Jin had no choice but to lead the way, and came to the tall warehouse in the backyard, the door was not locked, pushed the door in, and there were several eunuchs guarding the hall.

Sun Jin pointed to the heavy wooden door at the back of the hall and said: "Your Highness, that is the inner door of the old library, the clothes inside are old objects, in order to preserve the integrity and not be damaged, generally do not open the door, three times a year when the sun is good, move out to dry and prevent mildew." ”

Corning nodded, "That's how it should be, open the door." ”

Sun Jin took out a bunch of keys from his waist, opened eight iron locks from top to bottom in turn, and pushed the wooden door open, and a smell of herbs rushed out from inside, making Kangning sneeze.

"Your Highness, this is the smell of dried wormwood, some dried wormwood and grass powder are scattered everywhere, it is to prevent insects and moths, if Your Highness is not used to it, it is better for the slave to bring out the clothes for you."

Kangning waved his hand and said, "It's okay, light a lantern, it's a little dark inside." ”

Sun Jin hurriedly lit a lantern and walked inside, and Kang Ning hurriedly said, "You can stay outside too." ”

Sun Jin was stunned and said, "Your Highness is not familiar with the place, and the slave maid is still good for you." ”

Kangning's face sank and said, "Why are you so verbose? Isn't this palace still looking for something? You just say where you are. ”

Sun Jin hurriedly said: "There are three rows of compartments in the treasury, and the costumes of the princesses and concubines are in the second room, and the ones hanging in the large wooden cabinets are. ”

Corning nodded, "What's in the innermost room?" ”

Sun Jin said: "That's the crown clothes of the former emperor and the emperor of the previous dynasty, Your Highness doesn't have to go there." ”

Kangning nodded, "Understood, Hongying, carry the lantern, let's go in." ”

Cui Hongying answered, took the lantern in Sun Jin's hand as the first door, Kang Ning stepped on the high threshold with her skirt and followed in, the female official Hongyu supported her behind, and the three mermaids entered.

Sun Jin stood at the door boredly with his sleeves folded, and suddenly saw a little eunuch coming at the door in a hurry, and almost fell when he entered the door, so he scolded: "I'm panicked all day long, bastard thing." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, go to the front office, Father-in-law Liu is here." ”

"Who?"

"Father-in-law Liu, Father-in-law Liu, the celebrant supervisor, and Father-in-law Wei are also here."

Sun Jin was startled, pulled his feet and left, but turned around and said to the few eunuchs guarding the treasury beside him: "Be careful, if Your Highness comes out, you will immediately go to the front to report." ”

Several eunuchs agreed in succession, and Sun Jin hurried out of the door and headed towards the front office.

……

The warehouse was gloomy and dark, in addition to the smell of wormwood, there was a faint musty smell around, and the smell was extremely uncomfortable, the three of them walked slowly along the corridor against the wall, and stopped in front of the second door, Cui Hongying said in a low voice: "Your Highness, do you want to go in and make a show?" ”

Kang Ning whispered: "Go and get things directly, and Hongyu will go to the back and keep an eye on people to prevent someone from coming in suddenly." ”

Hongyu took a few steps back in agreement, leaning against the wooden sign in the storeroom and staring at the door, Corning trotted a few steps in briskly with the corner of her skirt, and came to the door of the third storeroom, stretched out her hand and pushed the dusty wooden door, and heard a sound of Kala, and the wooden door did not move.

Cui Hongying took a lantern and took a look, and found that the door was actually locked, but the first and second warehouse doors were not locked at all, so she couldn't help but stomp her feet and said, "It's over, it's locked." ”

Kang Ning waved his hand to signal Cui Hongying to step back, reached out and touched his waist, and a dagger with cold light appeared in his hand, this is the dagger that Song Nan specially instructed Princess Kang Ning to carry with him, but he was afraid that there would be a lock to block it at a critical time. Corning bit his lower lip and swung the dagger back and forth vigorously in both hands, and immediately there was a piercing creak on the lock, and all three of them were startled and stared nervously at the door; The eunuchs outside didn't seem to hear the noise, and they didn't move for a long time before they relaxed.

"Your Highness, the slave and maid are here to cut." Cui Hongying said in a low voice.

Kang Ning nodded, handed over the dagger, Cui Hongying held the handle of the dagger with both hands, closed his eyes and waved it hard, there was a click, and the lock broke in response, this dagger was extremely sharp, but it took an instant force to work. The noise was a little loud again, and the three of them looked nervously at the door again, but the eunuch outside still did not move.

Corning sighed, patted his chest and nudged the wooden door, this time he came, and in the light of the lantern fire, a strange face with teeth and claws stared at him with open eyes, so frightened that Corning screamed and almost threw the lantern.

This time, the little eunuchs outside heard it clearly, and one of the eunuchs shouted, "What's the matter, what's going on?" ”

Cui Hongying hurriedly shouted: "It's okay, the princess stumbled under her feet." ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, be careful, some planks are loose on the ground." The eunuch raised his voice.

"Got it, the princess will be careful." Cui Hongying replied. The eunuchs shrank their heads, Cui Hongying raised the lantern and slowly approached, only then did she see clearly what she had just seen, it turned out to be a dragon head embroidered on the curtain hanging behind the wooden door.

The two lifted the curtain and entered the warehouse, but saw dozens of tall wooden cabinets placed on both sides, Kang Ning opened one casually, and the clothes hanging inside were all the styles worn by the emperor every day, and all the wooden cabinets were opened, but they didn't find any dragon robes hanging, and when they were confused, Cui Hongying shouted in a low voice: "Here." ”

Kang Ning hurriedly followed the sound, only to see a long incense case placed on the top, seven or eight exquisite brocade boxes placed on it, each brocade box in front of a wooden card, with small characters written on it, the lantern approached a wooden card, only to see the words written on it: "Titian Hongdao Gaoming Guangyun Shengwu Shengong Chunren to Emperor Xiaowen". But it is the name of Chengzu.

Kang Ning reached out and lifted the brocade box behind him, and a golden set of dragon robe crowns was neatly placed inside, and small balls of moth-proof herbs were placed in the four corners.

"It's Emperor Taizong's dragon robe, Song Nan said that he wanted my father's dragon robe, and the emperor wore the same style as his father."

The two of them held lanterns and searched in turn, and found the words 'Jiantian Mingdao Pure Sincerity Zhongzheng Shengwen Shenwu Zhiren Dade Jing Emperor' on the wooden plaque in front of a brocade box in the easternmost part, and the neatly stacked in the brocade box behind was the dragon robe that Hongzhi wore back then.

Kang Ning gently stroked Hongzhi's dragon robe, looked at the traces on the cuffs, and a small piece of jet-black ink, and suddenly remembered that this ink was his masterpiece back then, and suddenly remembered the sound and smile of his father when he was alive......

When he was young and learned calligraphy, his hands were full of black ink, and it happened that his father passed by the library, and he pestered him to hug, and his black little hands blackened the cuffs of the dragon robe.
