Although the price was so high that it hurt her wallet, she felt it was only right to spend more money when she thought about how embarrassing and even fell down to get this piece of fabric.
"Little sister, you have to walk slowly on your way back, lest you fall again. You should also apply some more ointment when you get back..."
Before Bai Ruobing left, Bai Ruohan gave her some more instructions, not caring that the other party didn't appreciate them at all.
Bai Ruohan won this round decisively.
Although she didn't get the Moonlit Cloud Brocade, Bai Ruohan felt extremely happy.
Besides, it's just a little bit of fabric; she wouldn't be as petty as some people.
At worst, I can go back and ask my father for help. With the power of the Prime Minister's mansion, I can choose any beautiful clothes I want.
So Bai Ruohan left the clothing store under everyone's watchful eyes. Just as she was feeling smug and overjoyed, she suddenly saw a tall and imposing figure.
This fleeting glimpse made her hold her breath for a moment.
"Use this piece of cloth to make me a dress. The style should be the most fashionable Confucian skirt at the moment. I will send someone to pick it up in three days. This is the deposit and the size."
The boss was momentarily stunned by the extraordinary-looking customer in front of him, but he immediately realized what was happening and respectfully put away the deposit and the piece of paper with the dimensions written on it.
After settling things down, Feng Beichuan turned and left the clothing store.
From the moment this person entered, Bai Ruohan's gaze followed him intently, unwilling to leave his figure for even a moment.
Besides her, all the other women in the shop were also attracted to this man.
At this moment, Bai Ruohan even forgot her jealousy and followed this man who was like a celestial being, just like a devout believer.
At that moment, it seemed that only this one person remained in the world and in his entire heart.
Feng Beichuan always had a faint smile in his eyes and brows, seemingly oblivious to the eager gazes directed at him by those around him.
Because he was already used to this situation, only the servants who followed him felt uneasy being stared at by the women's hungry gazes.
"Miss, Miss has already gone far away..."
Caiyun reached out and gently tugged at Bai Ruohan's sleeve, whispering a reminder.
Even though the man's figure had walked further and further away, Bai Ruohan still stared at him in the distance, lost in thought as if she had gone mad.
My heart trembled slightly involuntarily, followed by a bitter feeling.
How she wished that the smile on that person's face was directed at her...
Unfortunately, even though he was so close to me, he was still unattainable.
"Miss, let's go!"
Caiyun reached out and gently tugged at Bai Ruohan's sleeve.
As Bai Ruohan's closest maid, Caiyun naturally knew why her young mistress had suddenly become like this, but she couldn't help her at all.
She understood that her young mistress had changed ever since she saw that man at Emperor Xingchang's birthday banquet.
This was the first time such a proud woman had ever looked at a man properly. And ever since then, her young lady would occasionally lose herself in thought, sometimes standing silently in the small bamboo grove of the Prime Minister's residence, sometimes for an hour at a time.
After regaining her senses, Bai Ruohan carefully recalled what Feng Beichuan had just said and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Was he making clothes for women?
How intimate must that woman be for him to make clothes for her so specially!
He could have simply told a servant to do it, but he was willing to come all the way here himself for this.
Bai Ruohan felt she simply couldn't think any further; her heart was completely filled with an emotion called jealousy.
She simply refused to believe this. With her talent, beauty, and family background, there were probably few women in the entire Sheng Nan Kingdom who could compare to her.
But that man never looked at her directly, nor did he ever speak to her seriously.
Just wait, sooner or later, the only person standing next to him will be yourself!
The day before the palace banquet, Bai Ruobing finally received the new clothes she had been longing for.
"It's truly excellent material, Willow Leaf. Tell me, if I wear this to the banquet tomorrow, won't I outshine all the other women?"
Bai Ruobing was overjoyed, holding her new dress up against herself, eager to wear it out and show it off.
"Of course! Our young lady is so beautiful, this dress is meant to complement her!"
Looking at the dress that shimmered like moonlight, Liu Ye couldn't help but marvel, and then she cleverly flattered Bai Ruobing.
Meanwhile, Bai Ruohan had also prepared her clothes and jewelry for the banquet the next day well in advance.
Everyone was looking forward to making a splash at the banquet the next day, but Li Chang'an was the only one who was troubled by this.
Because she knew very well that Emperor Xingchang's motives for holding such a grand military parade and palace banquet were impure, and she also understood that Zhao Ruyue was not well-intentioned, so she had no intention of attending the banquet.
But there was no way around it; the military parade and the palace banquet were held at the same time, and he had to attend.
"Madam, this is something sent by the Regent's Palace. It must be delivered to you."
Originally, Li Chang'an was sitting in front of the dressing table, lost in thought and resting his chin on his hand. But when he heard the servant say that it was something sent from the Regent's Palace, he quickly came to his senses and took the item from the servant's hand.
I don't know what it is, but it's all so mysterious. It's placed on a tray and covered with a piece of silk.
Li Chang'an lifted the top layer of fine silk and saw a neatly folded wide-sleeved silk skirt on the tray, with a letter next to it.
Please wear it to the banquet tomorrow, Your Highness.
Li Chang'an opened the letter and saw only this simple sentence, signed by Feng Beichuan.
The woman couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.
This person is really inexplicable!
Li Chang'an frowned again as he looked at the sky-blue dress on the tray. Did he really need to tell her what to wear tomorrow?
He's really worrying about things that don't concern him!
She was initially a little curious about the dress, since she hadn't worn such clothes in a long time and was quite interested in trying it on. However, after seeing Feng Beichuan's serious words in the letter, Li Chang'an immediately lost all interest in the dress.
So she casually put the clothes on the table, intending to take them back to Feng Beichuan the next day when she had the chance.
The next morning, Li Chang'an quickly packed his things and rode out of the mansion to the imperial palace.
