Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chu Yanluo opened her mouth to speak, but Xiao Qingyuan didn't give her a chance.

He raised his sleeves and said admiringly, "Don't refute me yet. Look at the material. It's so special. It's obvious that she put a lot of thought into it! If you had even one tenth of her effort, I wouldn't say anything to you!"

"When I wear this on the street or in a restaurant, there's not even one person wearing the same color as me. I don't know how much thought and how many days she spent picking out such a unique piece of fabric."

"Chu Yanluo, housekeeper Shen Wantang is so busy that she even thinks about buying fabrics for me and making new clothes for me. But you are so idle every day that you just make trouble and don't even make clothes or shoes for me? Do you really care about me?"

"You should learn more from Shen Wantang in the future. I don't need you to buy such expensive materials for me. You can just make a sachet for me. Is that okay?"

"You can't be bad at needlework and can't do anything, right? If that's the case, then hurry up and learn it. Shen Wantang is not good at needlework either, but she is willing to learn needlework with the maids for me."

"If you don't even have this little bit of affection, then I'm really disappointed! Besides, you will never have the right to say anything bad about Shen Wantang again!"

Chu Yanluo was scolded by him, and by the end, she began to doubt her own judgment.

Could it be that Shen Wantang really likes Xiao Qingyuan? She usually pretends to be generous and indifferent?

However, it doesn’t matter whether Shen Wantang really likes Xiao Qingyuan or is just pretending to like him. What matters is that Shen Wantang only gave him a piece of tattered fabric, but Xiao Qingyuan looked at her differently and almost praised her to the sky!

Listen, in Xiao Qingyuan's mouth, is there anyone who loves him more and cares about him more than Shen Wantang? He has begun to protect Shen Wantang unreasonably, and he has forgotten everything about Hua Yi and Liu Nanshi!

Shen Wantang is indeed a scheming and resourceful person!

Damn it, why didn't she think of this? !

Chu Yanluo stared at Xiao Qingyuan's new clothes with an uncertain look, wondering how she could turn the situation around.

However, Xiao Qingyuan didn't notice her expression turning ugly at all. He just sighed: "What a shame, what a pity, such a good material was ruined by that psychopath Gu Qianhan. I only wore it for two days!"

"No, I have to go back to the palace to find Shen Wantang and ask her to buy me some new fabric and make me another set of clothes!"

"Alas, although I don't like Shen Wantang, I have to admit that my mother has a good eye. The princesses she picked for me are different from those vulgar women."

"Mo Ji, hurry up and drive the car, let's go back to the palace now!"

Chu Yanluo said, "Wait, don't go back to the palace yet."

Xiao Qingyuan turned to look at her: "Where are you going if not back to the palace? Can I still see people in this dress?"

"This set of clothes is not suitable for public viewing, so just buy a set that is suitable for public viewing."

Chu Yanluo took out her purse and said, "Shendan Hall gave me and the prince fifty taels of silver each. I haven't touched my share yet. I'll use it to buy clothes for the prince today! I hope the prince won't say that I never gave you anything and don't care about you."

Although Xiao Qingyuan was poor, he really looked down on Chu Yanluo's fifty taels of silver: "Do you think fifty taels can buy this dress of mine? This material is made of natural silver-gray silk, which is very rare and naturally very expensive."

"If these fifty taels are not enough, then I'll buy you on credit first. Anyway, my medicine is selling like hot cakes in Shen Dan Tang. If Shen Dan Tang's treasury hadn't been robbed by thieves, I wouldn't have taken more than this. Shen Dan Tang still owes me thousands of taels of silver! One thousand taels should be enough to buy the prince a set of clothes, right?"

"Are you willing to spend a thousand taels to buy me some clothes?"

"Why would I be reluctant to give it up? As long as the prince likes it, I will give it up no matter how expensive it is!"

Xiao Qingyuan held her hand and said, "Yanluo, I'm glad you have this thought. I won't take clothes worth one thousand taels. Let's go to the fabric shop and see if there are any cheaper fabrics!"

A quarter of an hour later.

Xiao Qingyuan and Chu Yanluo entered a clothing shop and directly asked for the silver-gray material he was wearing.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but look a little unhappy. Nine out of ten people who came into the store today were looking for this kind of material, but his store didn't even have similar colors, so he could only recommend other colors to the customers.

But the weird thing is that the customers insisted on the silver-gray color and didn't even look at other colors.

So today, there were a lot of customers coming into the store, but only a few actually bought anything. He was anxious and could only watch the customers leave. When they left, they had to say, "This store is not good. It doesn't even have the most fashionable silver-gray color. I won't come here again!"

You can imagine how the shopkeeper felt.

So when he heard that they were buying silver-grey material again, he said unhappily, "This material is gaudy and the color is tacky. We don't sell it in our store at all!"

Xiao Qingyuan's face darkened: "What did you say?! Flashy? Rustic color? I think you are blind! Is there any material in the world more elegant and noble than this color?!"

The shopkeeper's face was even gloomier than Xiao Qingyuan's: "Nonsense, I've been in the clothing business for so many years, how could I not know what colors look good and what colors don't? This silver-gray color was the bottom of the box a few years ago, and no one bought it!"

"impossible!"

"How is it impossible? Can I lie to you? This color doesn't look classy at all. It's so tacky. There are only a few shops in the whole capital that sell this color! I don't know who has stockpiled this year. They deliberately promote the silver-gray color as good-looking and saying that it's fashionable. It's just a gimmick to sell off the stockpiled old goods!"

Xiao Qingyuan was very angry with the shopkeeper and was about to argue with him when Chu Yanluo said, "Prince, I think what the shopkeeper said is the truth. This color has been in stock for a long time and cannot be sold, so the prince's wife bought it for you to wear. She must be trying to save money."

The shopkeeper immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, the girl is right! Anyone who buys you this color must have bad intentions! I have been in this business for ten years, and I know which colors are popular and which are not! This color is really tacky and outdated, believe me! I am a very honest person and will never deceive customers!"

Xiao Qingyuan was shaken.

He looked down at the material on his body. The more he looked at the color, the uglier it seemed to him. When he thought that Shen Wantang might have deliberately bought cheap, unsaleable stock to fool him, he became so angry that his internal organs felt like they were about to explode.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "Let's go back home! I want to ask Shen Wantang in person what the hell he bought for me!"
