Chapter 26 Heart Shape "Do you want to spar with me, Prince Consort?" ...

Chapter 26

Speaking of telepathy, Jing Yue suddenly thought of the strange shape that Lin Zhiyi drew on the letter he wrote to him - a heart shape.

Although it is strange, as the name suggests, one can guess that this is the prince consort expressing his feelings for him.

Jing Yue thought of Lin Zhiyi's painting skills and asked, "Does your Highness have any other designs he would like? If you like any, you can add them to the drawing."

Lin Zhiyi had originally given up the idea of ​​working on it, wanting to sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor, but Jing Yue's question, clearly wanting to test her painting skills, made her eager to try again: "Let me think about it."

"good."

Chen Rong waited quietly.

If Lin Zhiyi really wanted to design a wedding dress, he would consider a lot of things. For example, when they got married, summer had not yet ended and it was still hot, so the fabric of the wedding dress had to be cool and comfortable, and not too complicated, so as not to overheat with three layers of clothes inside and outside.

Lin Zhiyi was thinking about the pattern of the wedding dress in her mind. She slowly walked past each piece of fabric presented to her by the palace maids, feeling their texture with the back of her hands.

She has come up with two sets of ancient-style patterns, which are simple and elegant, with hints of modern elements. Of course, they are not too bizarre and are styles that people here can readily accept.

Jing Yue didn't care, so she followed Lin Zhiyi easily, touching each piece of fabric as he did, and finally stopped to watch him paint.

Lin Zhiyi drew both wedding dresses she designed, adding heart-shaped elements to embellish them.

Jing Yue saw it, and he unexpectedly discovered that this pattern was really beautiful.

——Tilt at different angles to bring out different playful and lively effects.

Lin Zhiyi marked carefully that the heart-shaped part should be embroidered with red thread and which color of fabric should be used in which place. She explained in detail to Chen Rong the precautions for each point. Then she remembered that she was used to being the president, so she made the decision directly and gave the order, forgetting to ask the biggest boss at the moment - Jing Yue.

After all, they had just ordered a wedding dress from the Shangyi Bureau.

Now, she has overstepped her bounds.

Jing Yue and Chen Rong both looked surprised.

Neither of them expected that the prince consort knew so much.

Especially Chen Rong, she was very proficient in all the precautions that the prince consort had given her, no matter how big or small.

As expected, he is the one who drew the puppet drawings.

Chen Rong felt a surge of respect in her heart.

Lin Zhiyi quickly added, "What do you think, Princess? The weather will still be quite hot, and these fabrics will be relatively cool and comfortable. You can also prepare two extra sets of clothes for the wedding day. After the complicated ceremony, you can change from the formal ones to something a little more comfortable...it will make you feel much more relaxed. Of course, it all depends on what the princess thinks."

Jing Yue seemed very easy to talk to: "Your Highness is very considerate. Chen Siyi, let's make the two sets according to your drawings."

Chen Rong: "...Yes."

She carefully put away the drawings.

Lin Zhiyi urged, "We need the same set from before."

Chen Siyi: "Okay."

A grand wedding dress is a symbol of ceremony for a girl’s marriage, and Lin Zhiyi certainly wants the princess to have an unforgettable wedding dress and wedding.

Try to make the princess forget the nightmare that her two previous princes-in-law did not live to get married.

After taking measurements and choosing the fabric and style of the wedding dress, Chen Rong and the people from the clothing bureau took their leave.

Only Lin Zhiyi and Jing Yue were left in the hall.

Jing Yue was tall and noticed the jade pendant on Lin Zhiyi's neck at a glance. He also pinched the jade pendant on his own neck and wanted to ask his son-in-law if he had also had a strange dream, but he felt that it was impossible, so he gave up.

Lin Zhiyi was using the brush, ink, paper and inkstone at hand, wanting to draw a few more things, so he didn't notice Jing Yue's gaze just now.

She gently twisted the brush handle and asked, "Princess, are you afraid of the heat?"

Jing Yue raised an eyebrow and replied, "A little bit. But it's not bad. Every summer, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will regularly send ice here."

Lin Zhiyi also noticed that it was very cool inside the Lanyue Palace.

I think when the princess travels, she would have a sedan chair to block the sun and ice to keep cool.

Seeing Lin Zhiyi stunned, Jing Yue secretly recalled what he had just said - was it his words that stunned the prince consort?

He stepped forward, stood beside the table, and asked with interest, "What does the Prince Consort want to draw this time? Something that can resist the heat?"

The princess is so smart?!

Lin Zhiyi smiled and said, "Yes—but I guess I'm a bit of an expert."

Jing Yue encouraged him: "How could that be? Your Royal Highness Danqing is so good, don't underestimate yourself."

Lin Zhiyi was a confident person. After hearing what the princess said, she drew a sun hat, parasol, and sun-protective clothing according to her previous ideas.

"When I was in school, I read some travelogues about customs. People in places with extremely hot weather would use various methods to block out the sun. So, in order to make it more suitable for individuals, I made some changes. I think these three methods are the best for blocking out the sun." Lin Zhiyi showed them to Jingyue.

Jing Yue identified it: "A hat? An umbrella? The last one looks like a cape, but it's not..."

"Well, more or less. These three types are sun hats, sun umbrellas and sun-protective clothing. But I see that most places in the palace are shaded by pavilions and trees, and there are canopies on sedan chairs, so the nobles are well protected from the sun. It's just that there's some direct sunlight at the gates of the palaces... Just treat it as my hands itching. Princess, just take a look at it at will." Lin Zhiyi spoke modestly and cautiously, to avoid being seen as showing off his skills before an expert or being arrogant.

Jingyue didn't think of him that way.

On the contrary, Jing Yue believed that he was compassionate and caring about the palace people.

"The prince consort is kind-hearted." Jing Yue only used four words to make Lin Zhiyi's uneasiness disappear.

Lin Zhiyi raised her eyes, her peach blossom eyes shining brightly, and she looked particularly surprised.

Jing Yue was a little hesitant to meet such enthusiastic gazes. He tilted his head slightly, looking away, pretending to look at the blueprints. He whispered, "I can try to have someone make the finished product according to the blueprints. Although it may not be marketed in the palace, after we get married, everyone in the princess's mansion can use it. You can also give these to your family and friends to try out." As he spoke, Jing Yue suddenly raised his eyes, his tone tinged with excitement, "Or... your husband can make the finished product himself and sell it. He should be able to make a lot of money."

Being his consort would mean he could neither enjoy love nor have a bright future in his official career, so... Jing Yue was willing to provide the consort with certain financial support.

Lin Zhiyi didn't expect that the princess would have such a business acumen. Thinking of the princess's "limited edition" concept last time, she felt relieved again - this should be the princess's normal operation.

It is indeed not appropriate to promote it in the palace.

After all, the hierarchy here is still strict. How could the nobles allow the palace servants to enjoy comfort?

However, it would be nice if it could be promoted and used in the princess's mansion or in the capital in the future.

It can not only make money, but also subtly influence everyone's ideas.

By then, maybe it will become popular in the palace.

"Okay, Princess, you're absolutely right. I'll try to promote it outside the palace then."

Jing Yue returned the drawings in her hand to Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi took it, and their fingers touched accidentally. Jing Yue quickly withdrew her hand, but Lin Zhiyi seemed unaware. He carefully dried the ink and folded the drawing away.

"Princess, have you slept well these days?" Lin Zhiyi couldn't help but ask, recalling the absurd dream.

I wonder if the princess has dreams while wearing this jade pendant?

Jing Yue didn't expect Lin Zhiyi to ask about it. Instead of answering, he asked, "Where is the prince consort?"

Lin Zhiyi subconsciously raised his hand and touched the jade pendant around his neck, saying, "It's fine on weekdays. But I tend to have more dreams during thunderstorms."

Jing Yue's expression became more serious: "What did you dream about?"

Lin Zhiyi was about to speak when he suddenly realized it would be disrespectful to say he dreamed about the princess. He shook his head and changed the subject, "I can't remember clearly. It was all over the place... I forgot everything when I woke up."

Jing Yue didn't hear the answer she wanted, so she lowered her eyes: "Is that so..."

Lin Zhiyi asked tentatively, "Did the princess dream about anything?"

Jing Yue also shook her head: "No."

If you dream of a woman who looks just like your husband, he might be scared, so it's better not to talk about it.

Both of them denied the incident, so the matter was over.

Jing Yue changed the subject: "What has the Prince Consort been busy with these past two days? Why is there no letter?"

He actually wanted to test whether the prince consort would explain what Ye Changning had agreed to meet him yesterday.

When Lin Zhiyi heard the princess asking about letters, she thought, so the princess likes receiving letters. Then she must write more diligently in the future.

She didn't hide it from the princess and explained more or less accurately, "Zhou Mingyan came to see me yesterday. He first competed with my second sister in martial arts, and then we went to Piaoxiang Tower. Oh, by the way, I also brought a gift for the princess. I wonder if she likes it."

Lin Zhiyi took out the gadgets such as the Nine-Linked Rings and Kongming Lock that she bought while shopping after dinner and presented them to Jingyue.

Jing Yue took the gift calmly and asked with feigned curiosity, "Piaoxianglou? Is their food delicious?"

"Not bad. I'll take you there to eat next time." Lin Zhiyi promised with a smile.

"Okay." Jing Yue lowered her head and fiddled with the Kongming lock casually, thinking that the prince consort was very good at the art of speaking.

——He neither lied nor revealed his meeting with Ye Changning.

As she spoke, Jing Yue's slender fingers nimbly untied the Kongming lock.

A snapping sound was heard, and Lin Zhiyi couldn't help but be drawn to it. She exclaimed: "Is the princess so good at this?"

How long has it been? It's only been two minutes since I got it, right?

"That's amazing." she murmured.

Jing Yue smiled, locked the Kongming lock again, and handed it to Lin Zhiyi: "Would you like to try it, Prince Consort?"

Lin Zhiyi thought, playing with the Rubik's Cube is okay, but playing this... you have to rely on luck.

Huh? Wait, a Rubik's Cube?

Maybe... she could 'make' a Rubik's Cube for people to play with.

I wonder if the princess can restore the Rubik's Cube so quickly?

Lin Zhiyi lowered his head and carefully untied the Kongming lock. Jing Yue asked curiously, "Who won the duel between Second Sister and Zhou Mingyan?"

Lin Zhiyi: "Second sister won."

Jing Yue: "As expected of General Gu's apprentice."

Lin Zhiyi was also curious and asked, "Is the princess's martial arts good?"

Jing Yue looked straight at him with her phoenix eyes: "Do you want to spar with me, Prince Consort?"
