Chapter 292: A Wedding Dress Worth Hundreds of Thousands of Taels
Yuxuan Palace, the bedroom of Rouguijun
A man in blue flipped open a booklet and pointed at a picture and said, "Sir, what do you think of this?"
Su Yurou was wearing a pink gown, still as charming and attractive as a peach blossom. She looked at the wedding dress pattern pointed out by her personal servant and shook her head.
"This is too plain. How can my son's wedding dress be so shabby?"
Mu Qing's eyebrows were gentle, and he smiled and turned over another one: "What about this one?"
Su Yurou looked at the pattern on the paper and frowned slightly: "This is not bad, but the pattern is a bit monotonous."
Seeing that his master was still not satisfied, Mu Qing continued flipping through the book.
"what?"
Suddenly, Su Yurou's gaze stopped.
Mu Qing paused while flipping through the book, then lowered his head to follow his master's gaze.
The wedding dress in the album was as red as fire, gorgeous and elegant. The phoenix on it seemed as if it was painted by the most superb painter, so lifelike that it seemed as if it was about to leap out of the dress, so shocking that one could not take their eyes away.
The style is so amazing, it would be so beautiful if it were made and worn on the body.
Su Yurou touched the pattern on the paper, her eyes full of amazement, and sighed.
"What a beautiful wedding dress~"
Mu Qing was also stunned and amazed for a moment, then came back to his senses and smiled.
"Your Excellency has a good eye. This pattern is the latest wedding dress from Linglong Pavilion. It is said that all embroidery produced by Linglong Pavilion is unique."
"This wedding dress is made of ice silk brocade from the Wanli Snow Region. A piece of ice silk brocade costs no less than a thousand taels. Look at the phoenix embroidery on this picture. It would take the top embroiderer of Linglong Pavilion ten days and ten nights to embroider it."
"And the South China pearls here are round, plump, and crystal clear. They are really rare. This whole set of phoenix crown and bridal robe will cost at least hundreds of thousands of taels."
"So expensive?" Su Yurou widened her eyes in surprise, staring at the gorgeous wedding dress pattern in her hand, unwilling to look away.
Mu Qing smiled reservedly: "Of course, everything in this Linglong Pavilion is unique and novel in style. The clothes are made of expensive materials. There are also those exquisite jewelry, jade, pearls and agates, all of which are very valuable."
"Those noble sons of noble families are fighting tooth and nail for the unique clothes in Linglong Pavilion. They are in great demand."
Seeing your eyes fixed on the pattern with admiration, I smiled.
"This wedding dress is one of the latest wedding dresses released by Linglong Pavilion. Linglong Pavilion has recently released three sets of phoenix crowns and bridal robes, and this one is the best-looking. Of course, the price is also a bit expensive."
"However, the Sixth Prince is of noble status, and I think the best of the three phoenix coronet and bridal robes should be suitable for him, so I took the initiative to select this style for your review."
Su Yurou frowned slightly: "It's very good, but the price is a bit too expensive."
His monthly salary plus some other rewards from His Majesty was less than a few tens of thousands of taels.
Of course, he also had some private property, which could barely make up the amount.
It’s hard not to feel sad when spending such a large sum of money all at once.
Originally, this wedding dress should be embroidered by the man himself, but unfortunately his son is active by nature and doesn't like needlework, so he has no choice but to let him do it.
After all, he is a prince, so he doesn't need to worry about wedding clothes.
Now that we are planning on discussing the wedding date, the wedding dress naturally needs to be prepared.
Just thinking of this astonishing price tag, Su Yurou felt reluctant.
Seeing that he was interested but hesitant, Mu Qing said with a smile, "Did you forget, sir?"
"All the clothes in the palace are managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The wedding dress for the prince is also the responsibility of the Shangyi Bureau. If you are not satisfied with their work, you can ask His Majesty to pay you the cost of the Shangyi Bureau making the dress."
