"Is there a problem?" The king didn't hear the queen's answer and turned to look at her. The queen immediately corrected her expression and smiled very properly, her eight teeth shining brightly. "Okay, I will definitely take care of it. Your Majesty, don't worry."
The king nodded nonchalantly. "Well, I still trust you. I thought about what Lan Shuang said the other day, and it really makes sense. I haven't paid enough attention to her over the years, and she's not young anymore. It's not a good idea to keep her hidden like this. I should let her out more often. You should also take a look at her clothes and jewelry, and buy whatever she needs."
"Okay." The queen agreed to everything and turned back to her room to go crazy.
She was mad but not completely. She didn't dare to throw those fragile things, for fear that the king would notice something unusual and discover her true hypocritical nature. So she could only vent her anger on soft cloths such as pillows, grabbing a pillow and throwing it hard on the bed, then on the ground. If she was not satisfied, she would stomp on it a few times.
Looking at her crazy appearance, the maids trembled in fear.
Outsiders all say that the queen is so elegant, so gentle and generous, and is a role model for women.
Only those who serve the queen know that her true face is a jealous and violent lunatic!
When the queen had vented enough, her hair was all messed up, and she looked like a mad woman. She calmed down and slumped on the ground. The maids dared to go forward to help her and pulled her to the dressing table to comb her hair and put on jewelry again.
After the ordeal, the queen regained her radiant appearance and said weakly, "Go to the storeroom and pick out a few sets of jewelry for the eldest princess. Don't look at the style, just pick the expensive ones. The more expensive, the better."
"The same goes for clothes. Pick out the extravagant and expensive ones, and also send a few simpler ones."
"Yes." The maids took the order and left.
…
After receiving the clothes and jewelry, Lan Shuang couldn't help but lean on Ross's shoulder and laughed: "Look, the queen's little thoughts are fully revealed in these things."
Los tried to act like a clueless naive person and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Look, these jewels appear to be made of precious gems and are worth a fortune, but the styles are tacky and old-fashioned. They might look charming and understated on older people, but at my age, they would make me look too old-fashioned."
Lan Shuang casually hooked up an emerald necklace with her fingertips and showed it to Los.
Los took it, looked at it for a moment and said, "It's really old-fashioned."
A large row of jadeite is embedded in a silver necklace, and a circle of diamonds is dotted around it. The style is very rigid. Noble ladies nowadays no longer wear such jewelry. If Lan Shuang really wears it outside, she will definitely be laughed at.
"As for these clothes, there's no need to talk about them." Lan Shuang stood up, holding a skirt in one hand for Ross to see. "The one on the left is so gorgeous, it looks like a peacock. If I wear it, I'll be the brightest person at the party. Yes, the brightest, it'll blind anyone."
"And the one on the right is too plain to be a princess's. If I didn't look at the fabric, I'd think it belonged to a rich lady. It's too simple and doesn't suit my status."
"It seems like I have a lot of choices, but in fact, there are pitfalls everywhere."
Lan Shuang threw her clothes on the bed and sneered.
Ross put the necklace back and said, "What should we do? The dinner is the day after tomorrow. Do we need to make it now? Will the king think you are targeting the queen?"
"Of course it has to be made fresh, but... I won't ask someone to do it. I'll do it myself."
"Huh?" Ross raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Lan Shuang started working as soon as she said she would. She took out the scissors and needle and thread, took apart the flashy skirts, and selected some usable fabrics to sew onto the overly plain skirt.
After regaining his memory, Los knew that Lan Shuang was good at hands-on work and had been a designer in her previous life, so he was optimistic about her from the beginning.
After an afternoon of hard work, a burgundy velvet dress appeared in front of Los.
The hem of the long skirt is puffed up, the waistline is strung with gold thread, and large roses are embroidered with gold thread below. It is not very conspicuous at first glance, but under the light, the gold thread sparkles, looking delicate and noble.
The back is hollowed out, with a rose outlined with gold wire on the back. The petals are hollowed out, just revealing the beautiful back.
The style is elegant with a hint of unruly, and the beauty is revealed with a bit of maturity and dignity, which is very consistent with Lan Shuang's personality.
"Are you okay?" Lan Shuang lifted her skirt and looked at Los.
Los praised him generously: "If you become a tailor, you will definitely be worth a fortune."
Lan Shuang smiled and put her skirt away. "Did you sign up for some sweet talk class without telling me?"
Ross looked at her blankly: "Huh?"
"nothing."
Lan Shuang forgot that there were no cram schools in this world. She quickly dropped the topic and started choosing jewelry. Finally, she picked out a simple diamond necklace to match the dress.
After finishing her work, Lan Shuang sat on the bed to rest, leaning back straight, "I'm so tired."
Ross lay down beside her and looked at the veil above their heads with her.
Lan Shuang was about to say something when she heard a crackling sound of electricity in her head.
She was stunned for a moment, then hugged Delos beside her and asked in her mind: "Xiao Baba?"
"Host?"
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"Host! Wuuuuuu!" 888 felt as if he were in another world when he heard Lan Shuang's voice. He burst into tears with excitement.
Lan Shuang was confused: "What's wrong with you? What happened? You seem to have been quiet all morning..."
She realized belatedly that she seemed to have not made a sound all morning.
"I don't know what went wrong. First, the system space broke down and detected an anomaly. Then the screen crashed. Then the space was paralyzed and the connection was cut off. I couldn't contact you or headquarters. I almost thought I would be trapped in this dark space for the rest of my life. Woo woo woo..."
"How could this happen?" Lan Shuang was puzzled. "Then how did you contact me now? Is it fixed?"
"Not really..." 888 said hesitantly, "I don't know how it suddenly became okay just now. The screen lit up and the connection was connected. I contacted headquarters right away. They said they checked and couldn't find any abnormalities. They upgraded the system library for me and opened a direct channel for emergency calls."
"Direct access?" Lan Shuang seemed to understand. "So if we run into danger, we can go straight back to headquarters through this access?"
"Yes! But it can only be opened when you are in danger from which you cannot escape. It cannot be used at other times." 888 collapsed on the ground. After surviving the disaster, he really wanted to have a cigarette.
"Poor little Baba." Lan Shuang put herself in his shoes and couldn't help shaking her head. "When you were trapped in there, you must have felt very desperate, right?"
"Yeah, wow, the system is scared to death."
888 really wanted to hug Lan Shuang and cry.
