Chapter 828: Visiting (5)

When a daughter of a Mingqi family gets married, she is expected to embroider her own wedding dress. Generally speaking, those who were engaged early would begin embroidering for themselves years before the wedding. Those who were engaged later would have the dress made by a tailor and then embroider a few symbolic stitches themselves, thus making it appear as if they had made it themselves. This creates a harmonious and beautiful atmosphere.

Originally, the Shen family hadn't been in a rush for Shen Miao's marriage. They had begun searching for a suitable young talent after the Lunar New Year, and it would have been a perfect time for Shen Miao to begin embroidering her wedding dress. However, an imperial edict from Emperor Wenhui disrupted everything. It was absolutely impossible for Shen Miao to embroider a wedding dress herself at this point, so it was crucial that these arrangements be made as soon as possible.

Luo Xueyan slapped her head and said in frustration, "I've been so busy these days that I almost forgot about this. Tan'er is right, we have to start preparing Jiaojiao's wedding dress. I'm not very familiar with the embroiderers in Dingjing City, but I'll ask my mistress later; she knows best where to find good clothes and jewelry. Jiaojiao's wedding dress must not be sloppy." After saying this, she looked at Shen Miao again and said with a smile, "Jiaojiao has a slim figure, and she will look good in a wedding dress."

When Shen Miao heard this, her mind flashed back to the day when Xie Jingxing pulled her into his arms and said, "Just hold me and you'll know." She couldn't help but feel her face getting hot.

Chen Qiu asked, "Sister, why is your face so red? Do you want to call a doctor?"

Luo Ling's eyes dimmed, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Luo Tan was just laughingly discussing with Luo Xueyan what festive designs to embroider on a wedding gown when he saw the servant outside hurried in and said, "Madam, Master, there's someone outside asking to see you."

"Didn't I say that we won't see any guests these days and will close the door?" Chen Xin said unhappily, "Why didn't you stop us?" He wanted to enjoy the little family time he had left, so he refused to see anyone who came to the Chen residence to complain.

The servant was almost crying and said, "It's... it's His Royal Highness Prince Rui of Daliang."

Luo Tan's eyes widened. Shen Qiu stood up with a bang and asked murderously, "What is he doing here?"

The servant said: "This... I didn't ask..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a low and pleasant voice coming from behind the servant.

"Send a wedding dress."

A tall and straight figure walked out from behind the servant. The servants in the Shen residence were not handsome, but they were all upright and dignified. After being with Shen Qiu for a long time, they even had a bit of heroic spirit. However, compared with the man behind him, they suddenly looked a little shabby.

His flowing purple-gold robe swayed freely, and his smile was slightly insolent but not offensive, seeming somewhat cynical. However, the silver mask shone with a faint cold light, giving him an elusive depth. Even though his features could not be seen, the outline was well-defined. Especially as he walked towards him leisurely, his grace was undeniable, his languid nobility radiating a powerful aura that was impossible to ignore.

He said, "Prince Rui."

Even introducing himself was so arrogant and presumptuous.

Shen Qiu was about to draw his sword. He slammed the table, and the snack plates on the table shook three times. He asked, "Are you King Rui?"

King Rui nodded.

"Why do you want to marry my sister? What's your conspiracy?" Shen Qiu shouted.

Luo Tan's jaw nearly dropped. Shen Qiu's hostility towards Prince Rui was truly too great. However, even though everyone knew this, it would be too rude to ask him in front of him...

"Jiaojiao is gentle and sensible, dignified and generous. I have admired her for a long time and have been anxiously asking to marry her. Fortunately, the emperor is so gracious that I have fulfilled my mission." He spoke slowly and with a smile.
