The Chengwang Mansion is in a good location and not far from the imperial palace, but it took nearly half a day to get there from the Zhao Mansion.

Arriving at Prince Cheng's mansion, Liu Yun first handed over the visiting card respectfully.

"My daughter is the only daughter of Lord Zhao, the Minister of Rites. I have come to see the county lady today. Please pass on the message!"

The doorman of Prince Cheng's mansion replied within half a moment after receiving the visiting card.

"My county lady invites Miss Zhao."

Zhao Huayin got out of the car and walked inside, Liuyun followed behind with the gift.

The Shangshu Mansion was already quite large, but it was only when Zhao Huayin entered Prince Cheng's Mansion that she truly experienced what royal wealth was like.

It took Zhao Huayin and his group nearly quarters of an hour to walk from the gate tower to Princess Jiayi's courtyard.

The layout of the entire Chengwang Mansion is very elegant. It not only has garden pavilions, but also waterside pavilions and lotus ponds. If it is midsummer, the scenery will definitely be even better.

Finally arriving at Princess Jiayi's courtyard, Zhao Huayin looked at the wind chimes under Princess Jiayi's corridor and was surprised.

Everyone said that Princess Jiayi was favored. Only then did Zhao Huayin realize how favored she was.

There is a whole row of glazed wind chimes hanging in the corridor, which must have cost a lot of money.

The colored glaze cover used to display patterns in Yunshangfang is not easy to make, let alone such an exquisite wind chime.

It must have cost a huge amount to get these.

Princess Jiayi's life was even more extravagant than Zhao Huayin had imagined. She didn't know if she could be impressed by her previous assumptions.

Zhao Huayin felt a little nervous for a moment and had no choice but to follow the servant who led the way and walked in.

"Girl, here we are."

With a reminder, Zhao Huayin was already standing in Princess Jiayi's room.

"Your humble servant greets the county lady. May the county lady be well and safe."

Zhao Huayin bowed and saluted to Princess Jiayi.

Zhao Huayin did not dare to look up, only to hear a crisp voice saying,

"You are Lord Zhao's daughter. I have seen you."

Zhao Huayin was a little stunned. He had seen her before? When had he seen her before?

Because she was so surprised, Zhao Huayin actually raised her head.

"I wonder when the county lady and I have met each other?"

Only then did Zhao Huayin see the appearance of the person in front of her clearly. The Princess Jiayi in front of her looked like just a lively and smart little girl.

Her face is like a silver basin, her almond-shaped eyes are full of spring, and when she smiles, she has two shallow dimples.

"Of course you have seen it, but you just don't know it."

Princess Jiayi stuck out her tongue at Zhao Huayin and stopped talking about this topic.

"Miss Zhao, please stand up quickly. No need to be so polite."

Although Zhao Huayin had doubts about what Princess Jiayi had just said, it was not appropriate to bring it up at this time. She said to Princess Jiayi,

"I have nothing else to bring with me this time. I only brought two pieces of cloth. I hope the county lady will not dislike it."

"You also brought me a gift. Thank you so much."

When Princess Jiayi smiled, her dimples became deeper, and this smile made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Sister Zhao, what material did you bring me?"

Princess Jiayi seemed very interested in the fabrics Zhao Huayin mentioned, and she came forward intimately.

"It's not some very expensive material, just soft smoke gauze and snow-white gauze."

"Oh, these two materials are also good, but the colors are too monotonous and not good-looking."

Zhao Huayin was surprised that Princess Jiayi spoke so openly. Before she could open her mouth, Princess Jiayi had already seen the material Zhao Huayin brought and exclaimed,

"You actually have the material for Tyrian purple!"

Zhao Huayin didn't understand what Tyrian purple was at first.

"This material is dyed with purple dye extracted from murex. This color is very rare, and most people would not use such expensive dye to dye soft smoke silk.

Most of them are used to dye brocade, so this purple soft smoke silk is also unique. I hope the county lady can use it. "

Zhao Huayin thought of the dress designed by Princess Jiayi in her previous life. If she used the materials she brought today to make the dress, it would probably amaze everyone even more.

"It is said that it takes 10,000 murex to extract one gram of purple pigment. Is that true? This is too extravagant!"

Zhao Huayin listened to Princess Jiayi saying something she didn't understand and didn't know how to respond.

"Sister Zhao, I love the wonderful material you gave me. How do you want me to thank you?"

"I wonder if the county lady will use these materials to make clothes?"

"With such great material, of course I want to make a beautiful skirt!"

"What kind of skirt does the county lady like? Why don't you tell me what the skirt looks like and I'll make it for you?"

"Sister Zhao, you can also make clothes? Are you good at it?"

Zhao Huayin nodded.

"Yes, I can make clothes, and my embroidery skills are excellent. Whatever the county lady wants, just tell me. I guarantee that what I make will satisfy the county lady."

"Okay, then Sister Zhao, you can help me make my clothes. Once we make them now, I can wear them to the garden party."

Sure enough, just as Zhao Huayin guessed, Princess Jiayi made the dress to wear to the garden party.

But, is it that easy? Before she could even use her prepared words, Princess Jiayi entrusted her dress to Zhao Huayin?

Zhao Huayin felt that things were going too smoothly, but she didn't know that Princess Jiayi was very happy at the moment.

The last time Princess Jiayi made clothes for herself, she didn't know how many times her fingers were pricked by the needle. She was not good at threading the needle, and there was no machine to do it for her. She almost became depressed after finishing a dress.

Now there was a person claiming to be an embroidery master coming to the door, so Princess Jiayi wasted no time in accepting the offer.

"Sister Zhao, can you embroider anything?"

“Please tell me what you want to embroider, and I will do my best to make it for you.

I wonder what kind of dress the county lady wants to make?"

Princess Jiayi quickly walked into the inner room, took out a manuscript and handed it to Zhao Huayin.

Zhao Huayin took it and looked at it, and it was indeed the skirt she had seen in her previous life.

However, Zhao Huayin frowned slightly. If the skirt was made according to this manuscript, it should not look like the one she saw in her previous life. It should be a little more beautiful.

When Princess Jiayi saw Zhao Huayin frowning, she thought that the skirt could not be made.

"Sister Zhao, can this skirt be made?"

"Yes, it must be possible."

When Zhao Huayin heard Princess Jiayi asking, she answered affirmatively.

"only,"

Zhao Huayin pointed at the manuscript and said to Princess Jiayi,

"This skirt has a very unique style, and the flowers on the shoulders and sleeves are even more attractive. Why is the hem so plain? Wouldn't it be more beautiful if the hem was also decorated with flowers?"

Princess Jiayi smiled awkwardly.

"Before, I was afraid that I couldn't make the flowers below, so I didn't dare to draw it."

"Why not let the embroiderer do it for you? As a county lady, you don't have to embroider by yourself."

Princess Jiayi sighed, feeling helpless.

"My mother disagreed. She said I was obsessed with it and didn't want to make progress. She also didn't like the skirts I drew.

She said the styles of the dresses were not dignified enough. She also refused to let me find an embroiderer, saying that since I liked them, she wanted me to do everything myself.

"I see, but the county lady can now draw what you want, and I will do it for you."

"Really? Well, I'll change it now."
