Chapter 833 Wedding Dress (4)
Luo Xueyan held the heavy phoenix crown, feeling indescribable. Even if Prince Rui was just putting on an act, the fact that he had gone this far was truly beyond anyone's expectations. This phoenix crown was probably the dream of every woman in Mingqi, even more magnificent than the Empress's. She asked anxiously, "Jingxing, isn't it a little inappropriate for Jiaojiao to wear this phoenix crown?"
The animal on this phoenix crown is a phoenix, the king of all birds. Only a queen or princess can wear it. Although Shen Miao is married to Prince Rui and is his consort, she is not a princess. The crown should be decorated with a pheasant.
Prince Rui smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. My brother knows about this phoenix crown. In our Daliang royal family, there are only two brothers. When Jiaojiao marries into the royal family, she will be a member of the royal family, a phoenix, and she can bear it."
Shen Xin glanced at King Rui thoughtfully. Luo Xueyan was about to say something when she heard Luo Tan exclaim, "What beautiful embroidered shoes!"
Luo Tan carefully took out an embroidered shoe from the bottom of the wooden box and held it in his palm.
These embroidered shoes are incredibly small, also red, with a tiny phoenix embroidered on the upper. Embroidering a full phoenix is already challenging given the shoe's small size, especially since its feathers are embellished with tiny gemstones. The soles are also patterned with a lotus blossom, symbolizing the blossoming of lotuses with every step. Two large, round South Sea shark pearls are placed at the very top of the upper.
Shen Miao was slightly stunned when she saw it.
Mermaid pearls from the South China Sea are extremely precious. Pearl divers can only collect pearls from shallow seas, while those from deep seas are difficult to salvage. Only the most skilled pearl divers can enter slightly deeper waters. Even so, it is not easy to come across such mermaid pearls.
Shen Miao remembered that only the most favored Concubine Xu Xian had one, and she wore it on her head every day to show her difference. But she didn't know that there were two in front of her now, and they were casually placed at the bottom of her feet.
Even if she knew, Concubine Xu wouldn't be that angry.
Shen Xin was silent for a moment, then slowly uttered, “You are thoughtful.”
Such a grand display, such an exquisite wedding dress, could be called unique in the entire Ming Qi. Prince Rui didn't have to go to such lengths. But he did. No matter what, it would ensure that when Shen Miao got married, she would not be ridiculed, but envied.
Prince Rui smiled and said, "As long as Jiaojiao is happy."
Shen Miao's heart moved as she looked at the exquisite and beautiful phoenix coronet and the charming red embroidered shoes, thinking that wearing such clothes would surely be extremely splendid.
She had never worn such gorgeous clothes in her previous life.
In her previous life, when she married Fu Xiuyi, he was still young, and simplicity was her daily habit. Later, when Fu Xiuyi ascended the throne, she became a hostage of the Qin State, and fancy clothes were out of the question. When she returned, the palace had already welcomed the beautiful and intelligent Madam Mei. Comparing herself to Madam Mei was a self-inflicted embarrassment. Then, as empress, she was expected to dress in a dignified and elegant manner, using somber colors and rigid styles. Although a young woman, compared to Madam Mei, she seemed many years older.
Thinking about it, her girlhood seemed to have completely ended the night she married Fu Xiuyi, and what followed was painful and forced growth.
Was Xie Jingxing sent by God to help her fulfill her long-cherished wish from her previous life? Shen Miao laughed in her heart, as if Xie Jingxing had helped her fill in all her regrets without her realizing it.
This may also be a kind of destiny.
After the wedding dress, even the picky Shen Qiu had nothing to say.
