Chapter 258: Clarification, selling wedding dress
"Of course." The maid immediately took off her shawl and handed it to Wen Yan with both hands.
This is a green gradient shawl with a calm and beautiful color.
Wen Yan took the shawl and tore off a strip two fingers wide. She wove it casually a few times and tied it around her waist as a palace belt.
Wen Yan mixed the rest with her own semi-transparent gauze shawl and put it on again.
The playful dress, originally dominated by warm colors, instantly becomes bright and elegant without losing its calmness after being embellished with this touch of green.
Things like dark jacquard being outdated and old-fashioned styles have all become plus points.
Even Wen Yan's temperament changed.
A small piece of silk scarf can actually add the finishing touch.
Even those who had bullied Wen Yan before had to admit how powerful she was.
"Good child, you have such good taste! With this combination, I almost couldn't recognize it." Concubine Gong smiled and patted the seat next to her, "Come here and sit next to me."
"Yes." Wen Yan bowed and sat down gracefully beside the imperial concubine, with only half of her buttocks resting on the chair.
Everyone was puzzled.
Wen Yan is really good at matching clothes.
But such talented people are everywhere in the palace.
Why did Concubine Gong treat her differently?
Although the people below did not speak, their eye contact with each other seemed to be asking, what is going on?
Could it be that Wen Yan cast some evil spell to bewitch Concubine Gong?
Wen Ruyue's eyes were full of jealousy and dissatisfaction.
Wen Yan has won the favor of Concubine Gong. How can she control him in the future? Can she use her to exchange for mountains of gold and silver for herself?
It turned out that he was too kind and indulged Wen Yan too much, which gave her the confidence to resist him.
For the first time in several months since her rebirth, Wen Ruyue felt that things were out of her control.
Concubine Gong was kind and amiable, but she took in all the expressions and interactions of these people.
She smiled faintly and spoke to Wen Yan in a low voice: "I am very satisfied with the wedding dress you repaired for me last time."
Wen Yan smiled back: "As long as you are satisfied, I am always worried that my craftsmanship is not good enough."
"I'm very satisfied. I just didn't expect that mending a piece of clothing for me would bring you such a stigma.
Why didn't you explain it to everyone at the time?"
Be obedient and do as you are told.
Wen Yan immediately understood Concubine Gong's intention.
She immediately followed Concubine Gong's wishes and continued.
She knelt down quickly and said, "That's the auspicious dress you wore when you were crowned as the Consort Dowager. It was made by the imperial court. You asked me to repair it because you think highly of me.
I was worried that this would be impolite and cause you trouble, so I didn't dare to speak out."
Wen Yan's kneeling immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Concubine Gong showed a look of disapproval: "You are only concerned about not causing trouble for me, but you don't care about your reputation?
It's being said that you'd even sell your wedding dress for a small sum of money."
Wen Yan smiled and said, "Rumors stop at the wise. My husband knows that I didn't sell my wedding dress, and he trusts me. That's enough."
Wen Yan looked relaxed, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
The more she acted like this, the more Concubine Gong felt that she had excellent character.
The look in her eyes when she looked at Wen Yan also changed from concern and care to appreciation.
She looked at everyone and said, “Since everyone is here, I want to clarify one thing for you.
Wen Yan has never sold her wedding dress. The wedding dress that caused you to misunderstand was actually the wedding dress she repaired for me.
At the same time, I want you to know how exquisite Wen Yan's embroidery skills are."
Concubine Gong's personal nanny high-fived the air.
Immediately, a maid came over carrying a clothes rack.
The dress draped on the clothes rack was the auspicious dress that Concubine Gong wore when she was canonized as Concubine Dowager.
It is said that this auspicious dress was drawn by the emperor himself and took twenty embroiderers three months to complete.
It is even more gorgeous and exquisite than the empress dowager's auspicious dress.
It is not just a wedding dress, but also represents the deep mother-son relationship between the emperor and Concubine Gong.
So, when the clothes were damaged, Concubine Gong was very distressed and anxious.
She wanted to fix it.
But he didn't want to send it to the palace and put the emperor in a difficult position.
When it was first made, the emperor overcame all objections and overcame pressure to complete it.
If he were to repair it now, he would be overstepping the boundaries and would become a handle for the court officials to attack him.
Concubine Gong couldn't bear to put the emperor in a difficult position, so she found someone outside the palace to repair it herself.
She looked for many people before finally choosing the famous Wen Yan.
Even after the "selling wedding dress" incident.
Concubine Gong became even more convinced that Wen Yan was a man of noble character and that she had not misjudged him.
All the noble ladies came forward and admired the auspicious dress up close.
Concubine Gong's nanny explained: "This auspicious dress has been poorly preserved and has many small holes eaten by insects, making it very difficult to repair.
Even if there were ten embroiderers in the palace, it would take half a year to complete it.
Miss Wen Yan only took three months to complete the repair. Not only did the embroidery patterns connect perfectly, but even the embroidery threads were deliberately aged to achieve a uniform color.
I heard Miss Yan's piercing skills are even better than the rumors say."
The nanny also asked everyone to look for the area where the repair needed to be done.
Only one person guessed it correctly.
So far.
All the young noble ladies were impressed by Wen Yan's embroidery skills.
However, those ladies knew the true meaning of this auspicious dress to Concubine Gong.
At this moment, they clearly realized that Wen Yan had really caught the eye of Concubine Gong.
When the ladies came out to defend her, the other ladies just thought that she had the General's Mansion as her backing, so it would be best not to provoke bullying.
Moreover, as long as she did not violate the Dayong Law, Concubine Gong would not let anything happen to her.
Not only should they not provoke her, they also have to be respectful when they see her.
Wen Ruyue didn't know the extent of the situation and was somewhat disdainful of Wen Yan's strange and tricky skills.
Jiang Xinkui's expression suddenly changed.
If Wen Yan didn't sell her wedding dress, then forcing her to go to her parents' home to clarify the matter would only make it more obvious.
Slap yourself in the face?
However, as long as this matter does not reach the emperor's ears, there should be no problem.
However.
The subsequent conversation between Wen Yan and the concubine completely shattered her fantasy.
Wen Yan’s cheeks flushed slightly after being praised: “My Lady Princess, you are exaggerating too much.
If you praise me again, I'll get carried away.
Moreover, is it really okay to speak out about this? If it causes trouble to you and His Majesty the Emperor, this auspicious dress is originally..."
Concubine Gong waved her hand nonchalantly, "Don't worry. When I wanted to repair it, I went to the palace specifically to seek the emperor's opinion."
"After I returned to the capital, I heard about your experience and brought the clothes to the palace to show them to the emperor. He was amazed by your skills."
Wen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Xinkui's body shook weakly a few times.
What…what!
The emperor actually already knew about this!
Then, in the eyes of the emperor, everything they did would be as ridiculous as monkey shows!
It’s over.
The Wen family is probably going to fall into decline.
Jiang Xinkui looked like someone had pulled out all his bones and was on the verge of collapse.
But she quickly steadied herself.
Her eyes rolled around a few times, and she suddenly took a few steps forward and complained to Wen Yan, "Since you were repairing the imperial robes for the Concubine Dowager, why didn't you tell me clearly at the beginning?
That day when I heard that you sold your wedding dress, I was heartbroken.
This caused a huge misunderstanding, and made others laugh at me for months."
Jiang Xinkui wants to get rid of the Wen family.
