Xiao Yao didn't care what Yun Yichen was thinking at the moment. She took out the drawing and unfolded it for Yun Yichen to inspect. This was the painstaking work she had spent several days on, and she hoped he would be satisfied.
"Prince, are you satisfied with it? If you have any requests, please tell me and I will see if I can do it." Xiao Yao unfolded the bride's dress first. The front was similar to other bridal dresses, but the belt was wider, making the whole dress look less bloated. The cuffs and hem were made of tulle, which was solemn yet beautiful. The finishing touch was the back of the skirt, with a long, trailing red tulle that was as beautiful as a poem.
Such a dress, when worn by a young bride, will surely show off her graceful figure, making her look like a fairy who has come down to earth or a goddess who is still attached to the human world.
"Miss, this dress is so beautiful. Wait...you can also use chiffon on the cuffs and hem of your ordinary skirt, it will definitely look good." Xiaohui knew that she almost got into trouble and hurriedly made up for it. Who were the people in the room? Of course they understood the meaning of her unfinished words.
Xiao Yao glanced at her in disapproval. Grandfather wouldn't let her get married so early! Why was she in such a hurry? The most important thing was to get rid of this big Buddha in front of her.
"What do you think of this dress?" Yun Yichen tilted his head and curled the corners of his mouth, then turned back and asked Xiao Yao seriously.
"Uh! I can only say that this is the work I'm most satisfied with so far. How about you take the design back and show it to... your friend. I want to make sure it's something everyone can accept before I start working on it. The most important thing is that she's satisfied with the design."
"As long as you do your best and I'm satisfied, that's enough." Where can I find another "her"? However, the little girl's serious work has a unique charm that makes people unable to take their eyes off her.
"Okay, the details will be taken care of last anyway. If you have any new requirements, you can always send someone to inform me. Let's take a look at the style of the groom's suit! If I remember correctly, there will be someone in the royal family specifically supervising your wedding, which should include the suit for the newlyweds, right?"
"Do you regret agreeing to my request? I will only get married once in my life, and I don't want to be like others."
Xiao Yao nodded repeatedly. The marriage process for all the royal relatives was almost identical, which was quite pitiful. If someone cared about their significant other, they would certainly want to give her a unique wedding. She hadn't realized Yun Yichen had such a delicate side. He must really like the future Crown Prince's Consort! She would ask Ruonan someday to find out who this lucky young lady was from.
"Do you agree with me?" Yun Yichen looked at Xiao Yao without blinking. He did so much just to give her a unique wedding. He hoped that she would agree with him.
"Well! Your significant other should be very lucky and happy. I wish you a long and happy marriage."
"Yes." Of course he wanted to be with her forever, from a handsome young couple to an octogenarian with wrinkled skin and white hair.
"Your dress will have the same patterns on the cuffs and collar as the bride's, and it will also have a red tulle overskirt. I'll put more effort into the accessories and help you design a couple's style. Are you satisfied with it?"
Yun Yichen was very satisfied. His little girl was very smart. As long as she was satisfied, it was fine. Even if others didn’t like it, as long as it was made by her, he would accept it.
"Here are the jewelry. I didn't dare make too many adjustments to the phoenix crown, but I spent some time on the small details. I designed a pair of couple bracelets for you, and they look like this." Xiao Yao didn't know whether Yun Yichen would like her work, but she especially liked the bride's bracelet, so she planned to make some slight changes and give one to each young woman in the family.
"Are you saying that the bride and I should wear the same one?" Yun Yichen asked, pointing at the exquisite and unique jewelry on the drawing paper.
"Here's what I thought, but I don't know if you like it. I promised to design a set of jewelry for your bride. Later, after asking others, I learned that wedding jewelry cannot be worn casually. I was afraid of breaking some taboo, so I had to give up the idea. This is the best solution I can think of. If you don't like it, I will keep it myself." After speaking, Xiao Yao was ready to reach out to take back her drawings.
"Wait." Yun Yichen's large hand eagerly covered the paper. The two reached for the blueprint, one in front of the other. For a moment, their fingertips touched. Yun Yichen's body trembled. Xiao Yao's fingers seemed to be on his body. An indelible mark crossed his heart, light as a feather, yet heavy as a rock. He had the urge to reach up and hold that white, tender, boneless hand, but he was afraid of startling Xiao Yao, so he desperately suppressed the urge and pretended nothing happened.
Xiao Yao didn't take the incident seriously. It was just a small accident. Even if you are careful, emergencies are bound to happen, right? Besides, no one did it on purpose. Just pretend that nothing happened and don't feel anything.
"You want this blueprint." Xiao Yao asked calmly without looking up.
"Yes." I want them all: the blueprints, the dress, and of course, you, a flesh-and-blood person. Yun Yichen discovered something that frustrates him: Xiao Yao treats things that some girls find particularly irritating, like being hugged around the waist or having her hands touched, as mere accidents. She's much calmer and composed than a man. How can this be tolerated? If the other person has ulterior motives, won't his little girl suffer?
If he told her that she should be on guard, he was afraid that she would be on guard against him as well; if he didn't tell her, he would feel very sad when he thought about those who had the same idea as him and might have the chance to do what he had done.
He was almost driven crazy by this girl. Yun Yichen took a few deep breaths, put aside all the trivial things for the time being, and continued with the task at hand. He couldn't let the little girl notice his thoughts now, otherwise she would definitely hide from him, and if that happened, things would become even more difficult to deal with.
"Can you let me see the fabrics you brought now?" Xiao Yao stepped aside and made room for the table. Being too close to Yun Yichen made her feel oppressed, as if she might be swallowed up at the next moment, which made her feel uneasy.
"Wow, it's Yunjin." Manager Zeng exclaimed. It was actually Yunjin, which was worth a lot of money. It was a good thing that ordinary people couldn't find even if they paid ten times the price. He actually had the opportunity to see it with his own eyes, and there were more than one pieces. One was lake blue, and two were pure red.
The sunlight refracted through the window lattice, and the several batches of clothing were exquisite and dazzling, not only pleasing to the eyes, but also having a breathtaking beauty.
"One red one is enough." Xiao Yao wanted to take a breath, but felt that it was too useless, so she had to pretend to be calm.
This guy really trusts me. Isn't he afraid that I will take advantage of him?
"I'll give you the blue one as payment, and keep the red one for your dress. Once you have a more perfect design in the future, I'll keep this one after it's been made."
Rich! Money means being willful. Xiao Yao shook her head and smiled and said, "I think I'm fine dressed like this. I can't wear Yunjin's skirt out. I'll make one for Ruonan."
"My mother and Ruonan both have them, and more than one. You don't have to worry about them, just keep them for yourself!"
Feeling that she was being disliked, Xiao Yao nodded silently and decided to keep it for now and return it when she had the chance in the future.
The two exchanged opinions on some specific details. Yun Yichen didn't dare to stay too long. He was afraid that someone would criticize Xiao Yao. He told everyone that the matter was confidential. He suppressed his reluctance and left Xiao Yao's embroidery workshop.
Xiao Yao sent the shopkeeper off to see Yun Yichen off, then sat down at the large table, absorbed in her work. Yun Yichen glanced back before leaving, only to see Xiao Yao intently and seriously working on her tasks. This little girl truly treated him like an ordinary customer, forgetting everything after discussing it. She was even more cold-hearted than he was.
If he did something wrong to her after they got married, Yun Yichen believed that she would turn around and leave without even a trace of nostalgia. What could he do when he met such a cruel person? He just had to take care of himself and try not to make any mistakes! Was he going to be ruined by this little girl in this life? Yun Yichen didn't want to admit it, but he had no better reason to refute this view, so he could only sigh and leave.
Yin Qianhua wanted to find an opportunity to talk to her aunt about her son and Xiao Yao, but she had to put it aside for the time being because her birthday was about to come.
Now Yin Qianhua had become the true mistress of the palace, and her children were grown, so holding a banquet was inevitable. When the invitation was delivered to Xiao's house, Xiao Yao was lying on the bed, exhausted. She had been feeling chest tightness and back pain for two days, and she had no appetite at the sight of food. Could she have had a heat stroke?
The answer came that evening. Xiao Yao had her period. She'd been doing it so effortlessly for over a decade, she'd almost forgotten the feeling. It was uncomfortable, but it gave her an excuse not to go to the banquet at Prince Jing's mansion, didn't it? Xiao Yao lay in bed, rubbing her belly, listening to Nanny Ruan explain the precautions a woman should take during this special period. Before she knew it, she fell asleep.
The little girl she had been protecting had grown up to be such an outstanding and beautiful girl. Nanny Ruan felt that the best thing she had done was to accept Xiao Yao as her apprentice. Her biggest worry now was Xiao Yao's marriage. Nanny Ruan knew what the old marquis and his family were thinking, but she had a different opinion on this matter.
A guard, not to mention whether he is worthy of his apprentice, can he protect and keep him safe? There are many powerful people in the world. Can the old marquis and Mr. Xiao stay with the child every day?
Which capable man wouldn't want to possess the most beautiful woman in the world? They wouldn't give up until they got the one they set their sights on. Nanny Ruan believed that only someone in a high position of power and authority could protect her apprentice; children from ordinary families were simply not suitable.
She had no right to say these words, nor did she know how to say them. She could only worry secretly every day, hoping that someone would appear who truly loved her little apprentice and was not afraid of the powerful. Only then could she truly feel at ease.
