Nan Wusi gave both sets of clothes to Li Lanru, letting her try them on and see how they looked.
After trying on the first outfit, Li Lanru opened the fitting room door and came out to ask, "Is His Highness the Crown Prince still outside?"
"Miss Li, what is this?" Nan Wusi naturally knew what Li Lanru was planning, but he asked this question on purpose.
"Never mind, I'll go see for myself." With that, Li Lanru lifted her skirt and walked out.
Xiao Mu was still sitting in the hall drinking tea when he saw Li Lanru walk towards him after changing her clothes. Xiao Mu's lips curled up, it seemed that his charm was still very strong.
Li Lanru walked up to Xiao Mu, her face slightly flushed, and asked shyly in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you think my clothes look good?"
"Miss Li looks very beautiful in this outfit, she has the air of a noble lady." Xiao Mu looked her over carefully and nodded.
"I'll be changing into another outfit later, Your Highness, could you please take a look?" Li Lanru didn't dare to look up at Xiao Mu, keeping her head down and waiting for his response.
"I would be more than happy to." Xiao Mu smiled slightly. Since he had nothing to do today, it would be good to find some amusement to pass the time.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Lanru bowed again in surprise and hurried back to change her clothes, afraid that Xiao Mu would leave.
This time, Nan Wusi, unusually, didn't go inside to wait outside the fitting room. She simply sat outside to wait, so as not to make Xiao Mu think she was avoiding him.
To everyone's surprise, Xiao Mu said, "Sister Si, you don't need to entertain your guests now?"
"With His Highness the Crown Prince here, guests don't just come knocking on our door," Nan Wusi retorted sarcastically.
"Si-mei's mouth is still sharp." Xiao Mu seemed to be used to it.
"No, no, I feel that I have become much more rusty and out of practice." Nan Wusi also took a sip of tea, not wanting to say more on this topic.
As expected, Li Lanru changed her clothes even faster this time, and without Nan Wusi needing to go in and wait, she came out wearing her new clothes.
"Your Highness, what do you think of this outfit?" Li Lanru twirled around a few times so that Xiao Mu could see her clearly.
"Very nice. This lively and cute outfit suits Miss Li better than the previous one." This was the first time Xiao Mu had seen Li Lanru wear such a cute dress. She looked much better than when she always wore those expensive and imposing clothes.
Xiao Mu's words brought Li Lanru mixed feelings of joy and worry. She was happy because Xiao Mu approved of her outfit, but worried because the outfit was designed by Nan Wusi according to her temperament.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness." After thanking Xiao Mu, Li Lanru turned to Nan Wusi, her arrogant expression returning. "I'll take this outfit."
"Okay, that'll be eight hundred taels in total." Nan Wusi nodded, then led Li Lanru to the counter to pay.
After paying the bill, Li Lanru immediately clung to Xiao Mu, her presence making Nan Wusi feel inferior. He wondered if Ouyang Jiangli, as the female lead's friend, knew that her friend liked the Crown Prince.
Xiao Mu's original intention was to get closer to Nan Wusi, but now that Li Lanru was keeping him occupied, he lost the opportunity. So he left under the pretext that he had something to do.
After Xiao Mu left, Li Lanru naturally had no interest in staying, so she excitedly went to the Prime Minister's residence to show off to her good friend Ouyang Jiangli.
Li Lanru's boasting in front of Ouyang Jiangli naturally enraged Ouyang Jiangli, who almost ground her teeth to powder. What's more, Li Lanru's clothes were personally chosen by Xiao Mu, a treatment she herself hadn't received.
However, in order to maintain the facade of a relationship, Ouyang Jiangli could only listen with a smile on his face, while inwardly cursing Li Lanru for being shameless.
Although Ouyang Jiangli disliked Nan Wusi, he had to admit that Nan Wusi's clothes were exquisitely crafted and particularly suitable for those who commissioned them. Originally, Li Lanru was only of average appearance, yet she loved to wear overly expensive clothes, which made her look several years older. However, now, wearing a dress designed by Nan Wusi, she exuded the beautiful charm of a young girl in her prime, making Li Lanru look even more beautiful.
These days, everyone in the elite social circle is praising Nan Wusi's Dream Clothing Shop, and a hierarchy of disdain has even formed: those who have had custom-made clothes look down on those who wear everyday clothes, and those who wear everyday clothes look down on those who haven't bought any clothes from Dream Clothing Shop. Ouyang Jiangli wondered if she should also try to snag a custom-made spot, since she had connections in the circle.
Nan Wusi didn't care what Ouyang Jiangli thought; she was now planning to visit Tang Tang.
However, when she arrived at the Ministry of Revenue's residence, she learned from the doorman that Tang Tang was not at home, so Nan Wusi could only ask the doorman to pass on the message.
The next day, Nan Wusi waited for Tang Tang at Mengyifang. After not seeing her for a while, Tang Tang had lost a lot of weight.
"Manager Nan, it's been a long time." Although Tang Tang had lost a lot of weight, she looked quite well, so it seemed that she wasn't tired.
“Miss Tang, it has indeed been a long time since we last met. You have lost so much weight,” Nan Wusi said bluntly.
“That’s right. Ever since I got engaged, I’ve been dieting and exercising. I hope to be a beautiful bride.” Tang Tang smiled slightly.
“A beautiful bride doesn’t necessarily have to be thin; a confident woman is the most beautiful,” Nan Wusi said, not wanting Tangtang to fall into another misconception.
"Manager Nan is very wise," Tang Tang praised, which is why she trusts Nan Wusi so much.
"I went to see Miss Tang yesterday to confirm the style of the wedding dress with you again."
“I don’t have any special requirements,” Tang Tang said, trusting Nan Wusi’s judgment.
"So what are the plans for Miss Tang's phoenix crown?" This was what Nan Wusi really wanted to ask.
"Sigh, I'm really worried about the phoenix crown, Manager Nan," Tang Tang said. "I've looked at all the jewelry stores in the capital. All the phoenix crowns are made of pure gold, and the styles are all very similar. The reason I wasn't at home yesterday was because I learned that Jin Yin Zhai had received another batch of new goods."
"Miss Tang doesn't like a pure gold phoenix crown?" Nan Wusi asked, somewhat surprised.
"I've looked at many, but none of them really appeal to me," Tang Tang nodded honestly.
"I have a phoenix crown here. It's not pure gold; it's cloisonné blue. I wonder if Miss Tang would be interested in taking a look?"
Tang Tang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately said, "Really? I want to see it."
"Please wait a moment, Miss Tang, while I fetch it for you." Nan Wusi pretended to go to the inner room, but actually retrieved the phoenix crown from the system.
After taking it out, Nan Wusi placed it on a tray and presented it to Tang Tang, and began to explain: "This phoenix crown is called the Six Dragons and Three Phoenixes Crown. As the name suggests, there are six dragons and three phoenixes on the crown. The blue color on the crown is achieved using a technique called 'diancui'. When diancui is applied, the craftsman first removes the blue feathers of the kingfisher and then attaches them to the ornament. Therefore, the crown is blue overall."
