Chapter 835 Qinghe Liuxian Skirt
Chapter 835 Qinghe Liuxian Skirt
“What a beautiful dress!”
"I don't think I've ever seen this kind of material in the palace."
"Your Highness is already very charming and attractive. How beautiful it will be if you put on such a pink and delicate dress!"
"This is so beautiful!"
"..."
Hearing the sighs of the crowd, Handan and Fuqiu could not hide their amazement.
Even Shen Zhinian couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips at this moment.
Which woman doesn’t like a beautiful and gorgeous dress?
And as far as she knew, this Qinghe Liuxian skirt was the only one in the world. Because...
Fortunately, Nangong Xuanyu did not disappoint her.
Handan turned her head to look at Li Changde and asked with a smile: "Eunuch Li, every treasure in His Majesty's private storehouse has an extraordinary origin. I wonder what the origin of this skirt is?"
Miss Handan has asked the right person.
Li Changde smiled and said, "It is said that during the time of Taizu, there was a small country called 'Yan Kingdom' near the Great Zhou. The emperor of Yan Kingdom had a favorite concubine who was as graceful as a willow in the wind, and her dancing skills were unmatched in the world!"
"The favorite dress of the concubine is the Liuxian skirt made of ice silk. The skirt is as white as snow, as thin as a cicada's wing, and almost transparent under the sunlight."
"The weaving process of ice silk shark gauze is the secret of Yan State. With the fall of Yan State, this kind of fabric no longer exists in the world. It was during the reign of Grandpa Taizu that Yan State once donated a few pieces of fabric. Until now, the only Qinghe Liuxian skirt made of ice silk shark gauze in the world is this one!"
At this point, Li Changde's attitude became even more respectful: "Your Majesty has bestowed this unique favor on Concubine Chen, which shows how much you value Concubine Chen!"
Shen Zhinian had heard the concubines in the palace mention this skirt when she attended a palace banquet in her previous life. However, no one had the ability to ask the emperor to give it to them.
I didn't expect that in this life, it would fall into her hands.
After hearing Li Changde's introduction, Handan blinked her eyes, her eyes full of confusion: "Eunuch Li, this Qinghe Liuxian skirt is beautiful, but it's not as magical as you said."
Li Changde was not annoyed, but just smiled and said: "Take it out to the sun and take a look, and you will know."
Handan and Fuqiu looked at each other and immediately walked out holding up their skirts.
The moment the sunlight shone on the Qinghe Liuxian skirt, it changed dramatically in an instant, and the whole skirt burst into dazzling brilliance!
With ice silk mermaid gauze as the base, it is as light as mist, and the skirt exudes a faint and cold luster, just like the rippling light reflected on the lake in the early morning, clear and lively!
The lotus embroidered with gold thread meanders up along the hem of the skirt, and as the sunlight shines on it, it reflects a dazzling light!
Just like scattered sunlight, it is hidden in the silk threads with special techniques and shines freely.
"Wow--!!!"
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but exclaim!
Handan opened her mouth slightly and exclaimed, "I finally understand why Eunuch Li sounded so amazed when he introduced this skirt just now!"
Fuqiu's eyes were also filled with amazement: "Moreover, Eunuch Li said that this piece of cloth was passed down from the time of Taizu. After so many years, the color has not faded, but is still so dazzling. No wonder it is the secret of Yan Country!"
"It's a pity that the Yan Kingdom has long been destroyed, and the weaving method of ice silk shark silk has long been lost. There will never be another Qinghe Liuxian skirt in the world!"
Li Changde couldn't help but think in his heart that Concubine Zhuang had also worn the same skirt with lotus embroidered on the hem some time ago.
But His Majesty looked on with no interest at all.
Is it because Concubine Zhuang's skirt is too plain and elegant, not as good as the Qinghe Liuxian skirt woven with ice silk and mermaid gauze, or is it because the person is different?
Shen Zhinian narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help wondering what other treasures Nangong Xuanyu had in his private vault?
The mission was accomplished. Li Changde bent over and said, "My Lady Concubine Chen, His Majesty said that he would come to Zhongcui Palace for dinner tonight. He wants to see you wearing this skirt and dancing under the moon."
snort!
Men have a lot of demands!
Considering that he gave her a unique skirt, Shen Zhinian nodded: "I understand."
Li Changde bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty still needs someone to serve you, so I will take my leave now."
Shen Zhinian called out, "Fuqiu!"
Fuqiu understood what was going on and immediately stepped forward to offer a generous reward.
Li Changde took it with a smile, thanked the emperor, and left with his men.
Xiao Huizi followed behind him and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
Her Majesty Concubine Chen is always so generous, no wonder the master wants to take him with him for such a good thing.
Your Majesty turned over the Queen's card last night and will come to Zhongcui Palace again tonight.
Although being favored for several nights in a row was not uncommon in Zhongcui Palace, the palace people were still happy for the Empress.
Fuqiu stepped forward and asked, "My Lady, is there anything you need to prepare?"
To discipline a man, you also need to give him a slap and a sweet date. Since Nangong Xuanyu is so interested, Shen Zhinian naturally cannot refuse him.
The most favored concubine in the harem lived in Zhongcui Palace, so the decorations were naturally extremely luxurious, but it did not have the effect that Shen Zhinian wanted tonight.
She suddenly remembered that at this time of year, the roses in the Imperial Garden were in full bloom: "You go..."
After listening to Shen Zhinian's instructions, Handan and Fuqiu bowed and said, "I understand!"
Then they took people to do it.
Seeing how much His Majesty dotes on the Queen, who wouldn’t be amazed and envious!
Bing Qiao's gaze swept across the Qinghe Liuxian skirt, her eyes full of obsession.
She couldn't even imagine how beautiful she would look wearing such a gorgeous dress!
Qiuyue and Xiafeng were ordered to follow Handan to the imperial garden to decorate it.
Bingqiao didn't know what she was thinking of. She suddenly lowered her head and stopped Qiuyue: "Sister Qiuyue, I will be on duty tomorrow. Can I switch shifts with you today?"
Qiuyue asked with concern: "What's wrong? Do you have anything to do tomorrow?"
Bing Qiao bit her lip, her eyes full of sadness: "Tomorrow... tomorrow is my mother's death anniversary..."
"I know the palace rules are strict and we can't worship privately, but I still want to remember my mother alone."
"I am also afraid that I will be too sad to do my job well tomorrow and may cause trouble for the Empress."
Qiuyue's eyes were full of sympathy, and she said in a gentle voice, "Okay."
"The dead are gone, so you should let it go."
Bingqiao nodded: "Thank you, Sister Qiuyue!"
"I'm going to help out in the Imperial Garden first. I'll have to trouble Sister Qiuyue tomorrow."
Qiuyue said gently: "It's just a small matter, you're welcome."
Royal Garden.
Handan saw that it was Xia Feng and Bing Qiao who came over, and asked in confusion: "Why is it you? Where is Qiu Yue?"
Bingqiao lowered her head and said, "Sister Handan, Sister Qiuyue said she had something to do today, so she switched shifts with me."
