Chapter 62: Clothing Bureau
Lu An felt it was difficult. How could he weave the scarf under Pei Yan's nose? If Pei Yan saw it, he would definitely ask him,
[No, this needs to be done secretly]
[Otherwise, I don’t have anything to show for myself]
[You don’t dislike it anymore, but I dislike you]
Pei Yan heard that Lu An was hiding something from him, and it was about him. He was curious and wanted Lu An to say more. However, Lu An couldn't get to the point for a long time, and he didn't know what it was in the end.
Lu An volunteered to make snacks for Pei Yan, but Pei Yan stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, let the people from the clothing department come over and measure your size."
What is this for? 】
[Is it okay for me, a eunuch, to wear clothes different from others? 】
Lu An said carefully, "Your Majesty, no need. I have enough clothes now."
Pei Yan knew Lu An's concerns and said, "It's just daily wear, no need to worry."
Lu An breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
[Isn’t that what I’m worried about? The one who should be worried is Pei Yan,
[If people knew that Pei Yan favored a eunuch, the sky would probably fall]
Soon the Mingguang Hall was filled with palace maids.
The Shangyi Bureau was mainly responsible for the management of clothing within the palace, including the production, storage and distribution of clothing, jewelry and accessories for the emperor, empress and concubines.
Shangshu Jiang had worked in the Shangyi Bureau for more than twenty years and had never seen the emperor take a concubine or a favorite concubine. He sighed as he looked at all the jewelry and fabrics of the women in the bureau, thinking it was a waste of resources.
When she heard the emperor ordering people to go to the Minguang Palace to measure people's measurements, she thought the emperor had finally come to her senses, so she rushed over in a hurry.
When they arrived at the Minguang Palace, they found that the lady was not a beauty but a eunuch. They were inevitably disappointed, but as servants, this was not something they could question.
But when Minister Jiang saw Lu An for the first time, she thought to herself that she was a beauty, especially her clear eyes, which gave people an innocent and pitiful look. She suddenly felt that the things in the Shangyi Bureau were still useful.
Minister Jiang didn't expect that the emperor liked this kind of thing.
Lu An was only wearing an outer robe at this time, and he stood awkwardly in front of the palace maids in the hall.
He thought he was only making one or two outer garments, but later he realized that even his pajamas had to be changed. Fortunately, there was a fire dragon burning on the ground, so Lu An didn't feel cold.
When Minister Jiang was measuring Lu An, he noticed that the little eunuch's face turned red, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of favor for him.
Minister Jiang: "What color clothes do you like? I will make them according to your request."
Lu An said casually: "It's all right, as long as the color is a little darker."
Minister Jiang was unhappy when he heard this and thought, "How can that be possible? The materials in the clothing bureau are just sitting there gathering dust. Besides, the young eunuch has such a fair complexion, and those bright materials are most suitable for him."
Minister Jiang secretly glanced at the emperor and found that the emperor's attention was all on this little eunuch, and he had an idea in his mind.
Minister Jiang bowed, "I remember that the emperor has a crimson uniform. Our clothing bureau happened to have a piece of dark blue material as tribute some time ago. I think..."
Pei Yan glanced at Minister Jiang and said, "Use that piece of dark blue material to make a suit."
Lu An felt that these two seemed to be treating him as a fool. After all, he was a college student, okay?
"In ancient times, crimson and dark blue were used as wedding attire, and they were also the highest-grade wedding attire accessories."
Lu An was about to say "inappropriate" but hadn't said it out loud yet.
Minister Jiang spoke even more excitedly: "I still remember that the emperor has a dress with moon-white satin embroidered with colorful clouds and gold, and the clothing bureau just happened to have a piece of sky-blue material to match it."
"It's autumn now. The autumn fragrance color goes well with chestnut brown, the frost white goes well with winter brown, and the dark blue goes well with white snow. I think they can all be worn." After saying this, she looked at the emperor cautiously.
Just as Lu An was about to stop him, Pei Yan waved his hand with a swagger, "Just as you said, I'll give you everything."
Minister Jiang quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, can you give me a set of accessories?"
Pei Yan: "The same standards as mine"
Minister Jiang received the order and hurriedly stepped down to prepare: "Then I will go down and prepare."
Lu An stared in amazement as he watched Minister Jiang walk away with a look of teachable youth on his face, and he did not get a word in during the entire process.
[Low-key?] What about daily life? What about dark colors? 】
[Have you forgotten what you promised me?] 】
