Chapter 35 Trying on
Yuying’s down jacket is finally made!
Three days ago, she returned to Changchun Palace from the Qianqing Palace carrying two bags of duck and goose down in sacks, and escaped being kept overnight in the Qianqing Palace by Kangxi.
Recalling Kangxi's meaningful look, Yuying shuddered all over.
During these three days, Yuying concentrated on leading several palace maids around her to make the down jacket she remembered.
Hard work pays off, and she finally succeeded!
After making one for Kangxi and the prince, Yuying made one for herself, and even made herself a pair of down pants.
When she put on the familiar clothes again and felt the long-lost warmth, Yuying felt a sense of comfort in her heart.
In this strange dynasty, even just a down jacket means a lot to her.
Three days after the appointed time, Yuying took the finished down jacket to the Qianqing Palace to find Kangxi.
Kangxi, who was reviewing memorials in the Palace of Heavenly Purity as usual, saw Yuying and asked, "What? Are you willing to come to see me?"
Yuying smiled awkwardly, "I'm busy!"
Kangxi said nothing. How else can you be busy?
Seeing that Kangxi didn't respond, Yuying came up to Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, please ask someone to go to Yuqing Palace and call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! I made a piece of clothing for each of you!" Yuying pointed to the bag she brought.
Kangxi looked in the direction of the finger and saw a bulging bag carried by Qingtao.
Kangxi couldn't help but laugh. Every concubine would embroider an inner garment or nightgown and fold them neatly before sending them to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. How could she be like this, wanting to carry half a wardrobe with her?
"Since it's your intention, then open it and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Jiugong stepped forward and took the package from Qingtao. Liang Jiugong was surprised at the weight of the package in his hand. It was unexpectedly light. When he was about to open it——
"Wait a minute!" Yuying hurriedly stopped him, "Your Majesty, I've already told you to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come up, let's not open it yet!"
Liang Jiugong's hand stopped. He was convinced by this unwise Concubine Jin.
It's obvious that the emperor is curious, but you still want to wait for the prince to come?
How come this prince is more powerful than the emperor?
Although he thought so in his mind, Liang Jiugong still did not move.
Kangxi raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
He wanted her to get closer to the prince, but this was just a piece of clothing and she had to wait for the prince to come before she could open it?
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed through Kangxi's mind.
"Why? Am I not as good as the prince?"
Yuying was full of questions.
[No, that has nothing to do with that! I was just thinking of having you two wear parent-child outfits together, right?]
"Your Majesty, I didn't make this dress by myself. I also had the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I can't open it privately. Your Majesty, please wait a little longer."
Hearing that the prince would help, Kangxi became even more curious. But when he heard what she called "parent-child outfit", Kangxi decided to wait a little longer.
"Hmph - I'll wait a little longer then." He really thought he could wait in peace, but the next second, "Liang Jiugong, send someone to Yuqing Palace to see where the prince is!"
Yuying was speechless. How long had it been? How could it be so fast?
At this moment, Yinreng, who was in Yuqing Palace, heard that Khan Ama called him to go to Qianqing Palace to try on new clothes. Yinreng immediately thought of the duck feathers and goose feathers he had done in Qianqing Palace that day. After all, that was a rare time when our Crown Prince was disrespectful since he grew up.
I guess the fluffy clothes must be ready!
Yinreng quickly stood up and went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, his steps were so fast that He Zhuer behind him had to jog to keep up with him.
Seeing Kangxi looking at the door repeatedly, Yuying was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would open it directly, when Yinreng finally came.
"Your son pays respect to Khan Ama."
Before Yinreng could kneel down, Kangxi stepped forward and helped him up, "Baocheng, there is no need to be polite."
Yuying also came over and greeted the prince.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's open it!" Yuying said as she opened the bundle beside her.
Inside were two pieces of clothing that looked strange to Kangxi and Yinreng.
Both pieces were the same color, and seemed to differ only in size. Could this be what she called "parent-child outfit"? Kangxi wondered in his heart.
Yuying picked up the larger one and unfolded it, saying to Kangxi, "Come on, Your Majesty, let's try it on, shall we?"
Kangxi nodded obediently and opened his hands, as if waiting for Yuying to change his clothes.
Yuying glared at him unhappily, but still went forward and put it on for him.
There were no zippers in the Qing Dynasty, so Yuying sewed buttons on her clothes. Yuying thought this could barely be considered a new Chinese style, haha…
When Kangxi put it on, Yuying couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, Your Majesty? Is it warm?"
Kangxi felt the clothes on his body and felt that they were light and fluttering, as if he was not wearing anything. However, he was a little surprised when he felt the continuous warmth coming from them. "There is another one, Baocheng, try it too!"
Yinreng, who was standing by, had been curious for a long time. When he heard what Kangxi said, he put it on himself.
When the two, one big and one small, stood in front of Yuying wearing down jackets of the same color, Yuying nodded approvingly, "My parent-child outfits are pretty good!"
Kangxi had no time to listen to Yuying's bragging. When he saw Yinreng changed, he couldn't wait to take Yinreng out the door.
It had only been a while since he put it on, and as the Qianqing Palace had floor heating, Kangxi already felt the heat.
When I went out, I was blown by the wind.
Although he didn't feel hot anymore, he was still warm, and Kangxi became really excited.
"Aying, isn't this dress made of duck and goose feathers?"
Yuying nodded.
"That's great! With these duck feather clothes, people will have another way to keep warm!"
Yinreng on the side nodded immediately.
"Congratulations Khan Ama!"
After wearing it and feeling its effect, Yinreng knew that it was a good thing. He had never thought that duck and goose feathers could actually be used to make clothes, and that they were so warm, better than wearing several cotton-padded jackets.
Yinreng's eyes couldn't help but become warmer when he looked at Yuying.
"Alright, Your Majesty, let's go in. You and the prince are not afraid of the cold, but I and the others are."
Seeing that the two seemed to be planning to continue talking in the cold wind, Yuying couldn't help but remind them that she and Liang Jiugong were not wearing down jackets!
After hearing Yuying's words, Kangxi went back into the hall.
After entering the palace and taking off the clothes, Kangxi couldn't let go of them and held them in his hands, "Aying, you really helped me a lot!"
"Then Your Majesty, don't forget to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as well. After all, the down jacket in your hand was made of duck down that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally picked out!" Yuying also did not forget to praise the Crown Prince.
Yinreng, who was standing by, blushed when he heard this. He felt that he hadn't done anything, but he couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the praise.
"Okay, okay, Baocheng has worked hard too!"
"Khan Ama, since this down jacket is feasible, the most important thing right now is to promote it so that the people can be spared from the suffering of the severe winter." Hearing Yuying calling this clothing a "down jacket", Yinreng also followed suit.
You know what, this name is quite suitable.
Yinreng thought.
After hearing the prince's words, Kangxi gave him an affirmative look.
"That's right. I will discuss with the ministers tomorrow and then decide how to promote this product as soon as possible!"
