Lin Chunhuan raised his head and looked at the prince not far away.
Seeing even the prince's envious eyes, she finally realized that she had become rich!
No, didn't Mrs. Chang say yesterday that the Chang family had already suffered a setback? Then where did these things come from?
During the entire engagement process, Lin Chunhuan felt dizzy and his mind was blank.
To be precise, she felt dizzy until the day of her wedding.
The wedding dress she was wearing was not one of the ones Caiyun asked her to choose a few days ago, although those were all wedding dresses carefully made by the Imperial Household Department.
But compared to the wedding dress she was wearing, which was made by Madam Chang herself, it would be an exaggeration to say that the ones brought by the Ministry of Internal Affairs pale in comparison.
There is a world of difference.
This wedding dress was also brought on the day of the betrothal. It attracted everyone's attention almost as soon as it appeared. Because of this dress, it also caused some big and small disturbances.
Thinking about it now, Lin Chunhuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
"Princess, you are so beautiful!"
Caiyun looked at her master with shining eyes. She was not complimenting her. Caiyun had always thought that the princess was the most beautiful woman in the world.
But now, with the contrast of this wedding dress, her already extremely extraordinary appearance has been brought to a higher level.
It is so high that people dare not reach for it or tell lies.
Lin Chunhuan went to the palace this morning to pay his respects to his father. His eyes were still red, but a smile was on his face. "But it's really strange."
"My marriage to Huaijin has only been arranged for a few months. How did Madam manage to make such an elaborate wedding dress in such a short time?"
“He’s simply a god.”
Hearing this, Caiyun was stunned for a moment, "Why, Princess, don't you know?"
"Know what?" Lin Chunhuan's eyes flickered as he looked at Caiyun's hand hanging in the air. "Could there be some other story behind this?"
"Oh my god, you really don't know."
Caiyun was truly shocked. Since it was still early, she even put her comb aside. "Mrs. Chang comes from a family of dressmakers. The princess knows this, right?"
Lin Chunhuan nodded.
Marriages between businessmen and gangsters are not uncommon.
After all, no matter how big an industry is, it needs knowledgeable people to run it, and no matter how smart a businessman is, he needs a strong military force to back him up. Over time, a model of marriage between business and military affairs has emerged.
Although Mrs. Chang was not a respected person in her original family, it was also a fact that she came from a merchant family.
"It is said that Madam Chang's biological mother died early, and her father remarried and gave birth to a sister who is five years younger than her. Life is not easy for her stepmother."
"In short, Madam Chang lived a life of enduring humiliation before she got married. The incident with the wedding dress happened at Princess Lingyan's wedding banquet."
Aunt Lingyan?
It seemed that it was because he hadn't heard this name for a long time. When he suddenly heard this name, Lin Chunhuan was confused for a while before he remembered who this person was.
Princess Lingyan was the younger sister of Prince Yan. Lin Chunhuan was not yet born when she got married. The few impressions she had of this cousin were all at palace banquets.
She was a slightly plump woman with very fair skin, so fair that others would feel awkward standing next to her. She was not gaudy but not particularly pretty either. She was pretty and cute, and had a very pleasing appearance.
In her memory, every time Aunt Lingyan entered the palace, she was accompanied by an ordinary-looking man.
Not derogatory.
But it’s really ordinary!
They are so ordinary that if you throw them into a crowd and miss them at first sight, you will never find them again. You may even forget what they look like after a while.
However, these were all things that happened when Lin Chunhuan was a child. In the past ten years or so, Princess Lingyan seemed to have not attended any palace banquets.
She was already married and did not live in Kyoto. Apart from Prince Yan, she had almost no close contacts with anyone, so even if Lingyan did not appear, she seemed to have never mentioned this person again.
"Wedding banquet, what's wrong?"
Pulling his thoughts away from the past, Lin Chunhuan saw Caiyun looking mysterious, and asked with interest. After all, there were not many women who married out of the royal family.
At this moment, she was really interested in her cousin who she didn't interact with very often.
"I heard it from my mother, too."
Caiyun's mother was also an old lady in the palace. She used to serve Lin Chunhuan's biological mother. When she was old enough, she was released from the palace and married to a bodyguard.
However, the escort died on the way to escort Caiyun shortly after she was born. Caiyun's mother was supposed to raise the child alone, but she became ill after years of hard work.
There was really no other way, so she found the sisters she used to be good friends with in the palace, contacted her old master, and relied on the reputation she had accumulated from her years of loyalty to ask for a way out for the child.
However, her biological mother also died young, and it was only after all this trouble that Caiyun came to her side. Moreover, this girl knew much more about some private matters than her master.
Caiyun thought for a moment and then said, "I heard that a month before Princess Lingyan's wedding, there was a fire in the Imperial Household Department. It wouldn't have been a big deal if other things had burned, but they had to burn the wedding dress."
"Princess, you know that the princess's wedding dress would require dozens of the best embroiderers to work tirelessly for more than half a month."
"But at that time, the current emperor was about to marry the empress, and the embroiderers in the palace were all very busy. How could they have the time to care about the affairs of a princess? Helplessly, they could only turn their attention to the people."
"We found Madam Chang's family. At that time, Madam Chang was already past the age of marriage, but because she had always been out in public, no one came to propose marriage. The stepmother's younger sister had also grown up. That family asked the two of them to make wedding clothes for Princess Lingyan."
"Whoever's wedding dress is favored by the princess will inherit the family property in the future."
Caiyun had said so much in a row. Seeing that she was thirsty, Lin Chunhuan looked around and handed her the cold wine. "So what happened next? Who won?"
"That second girl."
Caiyun wiped the wine stains from the corners of her lips. "It's said that on the day Madam Chang finished the work, there was a miraculous spectacle of hundreds of butterflies dressing themselves in the dress. But then there was a fire, and the wedding dress was gone."
"But I think the wedding dress that was burned might be the one you were wearing."
Caiyun said the last sentence very softly with a smile on her face. Lin Chunhuan was a little confused. He raised his sleeves to take a look and actually felt that there was such a possibility.
