833 Wedding Dress (4)
Luo Xueyan held the heavy phoenix crown and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Even if Prince Rui was putting on an act, it was really beyond her expectations that he would go to such length. This phoenix crown was probably what all the women in Ming Qi dreamed of. It was not inferior to the empress’s phoenix crown. She said in a panic, “Jingxing, isn’t it a little inappropriate for Jiaojiao to wear this phoenix crown?”
Phoenix was the queen of all birds. Only the empress or princess could wear it. Although Shen Miao was married to Prince Rui and was Prince Rui’s consort, she was not a princess. What was carved on the crown should be a colorful peahen instead.
Prince Rui smiled and said, “Madam, don’t worry. My brother knows about this phoenix crown. If Jiaojiao marries me, she will be a member of the royal family. It’s just a phoenix. She’s worthy of it.”
Shen Xin looked at Prince Rui thoughtfully. Luo Xueyan was about to say something when she heard Luo Tan shout, “What beautifully embroidered shoes!”
Luo Tan carefully took out an embroidered shoe from the bottom of the wooden box and held it in her palm.
The embroidered shoe was very small and red, but there was also a small phoenix embroidered on the top of the shoe. The surface of the shoe was small to begin with, and it was very difficult to embroider an entire phoenix. Moreover, the feathers of the phoenix were decorated with small gems. However, the soles of the shoes also had patterns. There was a lotus flower spreading out, indicating that lotuses would bloom with every step. At the top of the shoe, there were two round and big pearls.
Shen Miao was slightly stunned.
The pearls of the southern sea were very precious. Most harvesters could only pick pearls from the shallow sea, because it was very dangerous to salvage pearls from the deep sea. Only the most skilled pearl hunters could enter the deep sea. Even so, it was still not easy to find such pearls.
Shen Miao remembered that Consort Xu, who was the most favored now, only had one. She wore it on her head every day to show that she was different. If she found out that there were two such pearls embedded in a pair of shoes, she would probably be crazy with jealousy.
Shen Xin was silent for a moment before saying slowly, “It’s very considerate of you.”
This kind of extravagance and exquisite wedding dress was unseen in Ming Qi. Prince Rui did not have to do this, but he did. No matter what, with this outfit, on the day his daughter married, what she received would not be mockery but envy of everyone.
Prince Rui smiled. “As long as Jiaojiao is happy.”
Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. Looking at the exquisite phoenix crown and red embroidered shoes, she thought that wearing them, she would definitely look glamorous.
She had never worn such gorgeous clothes in her previous life.
In her previous life, when she married Fu Xiuyi, Fu Xiuyi had yet to make a name for himself. Simpleness was her usual style. Later, when Fu Xiuyi ascended the throne, she became a hostage of the State of Qin, so it was more impossible for her to wear gorgeous clothes. When she returned, there was already a beautiful and smart Consort Mei in the palace. Compared to Consort Mei who was charming, she was clumsy and dull. As the empress, she had to be solemn and no-nonsense. She was a young woman at that time, but compared to Consort Mei, she appeared to be many years older.
Her girlhood seemed to have ended the night she married Fu Xiuyi. What followed was pain and forced maturity.
Was Xie Jingxing sent by the heavens to fulfill her wish in her previous life? Shen Miao smiled.
Perhaps this was also fate.
After seeing the wedding dress, even the picky Shen Qiu had nothing to say.
