Chapter 106 I Like Anything He Gives Me
The next morning, Yu Nian's deeply resentful wails echoed from the East Garden of the Prime Minister's residence.
"Sigh, Chun Tao, I'm not feeling well. Actually, I'm still a little dizzy. I must have choked on the smoke yesterday. I think I need to rest more."
Yu Nian lay sprawled on her side on the bed, looking utterly dejected.
Yu Nian swore that if she had known it would be so troublesome to embroider a new wedding dress, she would have risked her life in the fire to snatch her original wedding dress.
"Miss, it's such a critical moment, please don't be lazy, or it will really be too late if you don't hurry."
Chuntao called two embroiderers over, and together with Lu Mingzhu, the four of them sat around the table preparing a new wedding dress for Yu Nian.
Yu Nian turned her face away and sighed. It wasn't that she was being lazy; she was just really incapable.
Just the sachet embroidered for Chunyu Han, depicting two birds flying side by side, had already nearly killed Yu Nian.
"Actually, this wedding dress doesn't necessarily need to be covered in embroidery, right? A simple, subtle jacquard pattern would be just as nice, simple and elegant."
Chun Tao clearly disagreed with Yu Nian's suggestion.
"You are the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family. How can your wedding dress be so plain and shabby? I remember when you got engaged to the Crown Prince, you embroidered it yourself for half a month and didn't let anyone else help. You were very happy."
Upon hearing this, Yu Nian sat up abruptly and glared at Chun Tao.
"You silly girl, don't talk nonsense, I didn't say that."
If these words reached Chunyu Han's ears, his pleasure level would drop even further.
Yu Nian pretended to get out of bed and walked behind Lu Mingzhu to look at the embroidery pattern in her hand.
Mingzhu is usually lively and energetic, not the kind of person who would patiently do needlework.
Yu Nian lowered her eyes and looked down. She should have kept her eyes closed, because what she saw startled her!
Wow... your embroidery is amazing!
Although it is just a peony, it is worthy of the description "lifelike".
"Sister Niannian, are you making fun of me? You are clearly ten times better at embroidery than me. I'm just showing off my limited skills in front of you."
The sincerity and admiration in Lu Mingzhu's eyes told Yu Nian that she wasn't flattering her; the original owner's embroidery was indeed superb.
Yu Nianxin's heart sank. She had originally wanted to get down and pretend, but now that she saw it, she decided to give up.
Pretending to have a headache, Yu Nian crawled back onto the bed, turned her back to him, and called out the system in her mind.
"Sixth Brother, your system is incompetent. It didn't even synchronize properly. I didn't inherit the original owner's amazing skills."
Why don't you learn it yourself?
Just kidding, with such amazing skills, do you think Yu Nian could learn them so easily?
"Is there any way for me to learn quickly?"
【have. 】
Yu Nian became interested. She had only asked casually, but she didn't expect that the sixth brother actually had it.
However, a Level 2 account is required to unlock it.
Yu Nian's account is currently only level 1, and it's unknown when it will level up. Well, that's basically saying nothing at all...
[Don't be too discouraged. Don't say I, Sixth Master, am heartless. You're getting married soon, after all. I've updated the shop with a few wedding-limited items for you, and given you a 10% discount. Isn't that generous?]
Yu Nian opened the online store with some skepticism. Sure enough, several squares at the top of the store were flashing red, and the upper left corner of each square had three words marked: Limited-time flash sale, only four days left.
Tsk, she's the only consumer, and they're using this scarcity marketing tactic?
Moreover, even after the 90% discount, the cheapest item still costs 100 merit points, so she knew that this sixth brother was just trying to rip her off again.
Looking at these items again, there's a pair of glow-in-the-dark "double happiness" characters, two packs of durian-flavored wedding candies, two 21-shot miniature portable "thunderclap" fireworks... The last one left Yu Nian speechless.
Pure, natural, additive-free, and delicious nut gift box for early birth of a son!
She strongly suspected that Lao Liu was alluding to Chunyu Han, and she had evidence to support her claim.
"What a mess... only the fireworks might still be somewhat useful."
As Yu Nian was pondering the use of this miniature firework, a sound suddenly came from outside the door.
"Oh dear, Mingzhu is here too. I heard early this morning that the Prime Minister's residence was on fire, so I rushed over to check. Is everyone alright?"
Lu Baishi walked in with her maid, looking as if Yu Nian and she were very familiar with each other.
"I just burned some things, but Mrs. Lao Lu is worried about it."
Yu Nian turned around and met Lu Bai's gaze directly. It was probably a terrible news for her that everyone was alright.
"You're too kind, Miss Fifth. It's good that you're alright."
Autumn is dry and windy; even a small spark can easily ignite a fire. We must be extra careful from now on. I've asked Mingsi to give instructions to the Crown Princess as well; she should also be extra cautious.”
Lu Baishi was playing coy with Yu Nian, but in her heart she was seething with hatred. Her precious son was buried at such a young age, while these wretches were sitting here leisurely.
"Madam Lu is right, it is indeed dry and hot."
Yu Nian sneered inwardly. Lu Bai's feigned friendliness today was a deliberate attempt to cover up her true intentions. She secretly wished they had all perished in that fire.
As Lu Bai spoke, her gaze fell upon the needlework that the people on the table were busy with.
"Why is Fifth Miss making her wedding dress again at this time? Could it be that yesterday's fire ruined it?"
After speaking, Madam Lu Bai pretended to cover her mouth with her handkerchief, hiding the corners of her mouth that were turned up.
The bride's wedding dress is the face of the wedding, and the one they were busy making was obviously not as luxurious as the previous one.
If Yu Nian wore this on her wedding day, Yu Zhirou would definitely outshine her.
"It's just a piece of clothing, Mrs. Lu, there's no need to make a fuss."
Yu Nian suppressed her nausea; Lu Baishi's affected manner was truly nauseating.
"That's true, but in our Great Zhao, a woman's magnificent wedding dress represents the importance attached to this marriage. If Miss Fifth wears this dress out, people might think that the Prime Minister's Mansion is looking down on the Regent."
Lu Bai's words were loaded with meaning; she still remembered the humiliation she suffered at the Qixiu Workshop when she argued with Yu Nian over the wedding dress.
Seeing that Yu Nian's wedding dress had been burned, he was overjoyed.
"Madam Lu's words are rather inappropriate..."
Just as Yu Nian was about to give Lu Bai a piece of her mind, there was a knock on the door.
When Lu Bai entered the house, she didn't close the door. Yu Nian looked up and saw Sang Tian standing at the door.
“Miss Yu, the Regent heard that your wedding dress was damaged in the fire last night, so he specially ordered me to send you a spare one. I hope you will not find it undesirable.”
The guards who followed in carrying brocade boxes of various sizes were like a timely rain in Yu Nian's eyes.
Chunyu Han's ears are too sharp; he can find out about such a small thing so quickly. You have to admire him.
"How could I dislike it? I like anything that adults give me."
Yu Nian gave a very official smile, hoping that Sang Tian would repeat these words to Chunyu Han verbatim.
"The Regent is so thoughtful. Miss Yu is so lucky. With your high position and great power, the gifts you send must be of the finest quality. Why don't you open one and take a look?"
What kind of beautiful wedding dress could a eunuch who only knows how to fight and kill possibly send? Madam Lu Bai could take this opportunity to embarrass Yu Nian a few more times and make her lose face.
"Then take a look and open it."
When Yu Nian said this, she wasn't very confident. With Chunyu Han's straight-male aesthetic, it was hard to say what he would actually send.
However, Yu Nian was mentally prepared that no matter how ugly the thing was, she would close her eyes and say she liked it.
Sang Tian turned around, opened the brocade box, and took out the wedding dress inside.
The moment the wedding dress was unveiled, everyone present held their breath!
