The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine
Chapter 95: Modifying the Wedding Dress
Perhaps in Gu Ying'er's view, Prime Minister Gu and Madam Gu promoted her mother to be a co-wife because she gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor who was born in the year of the dragon, thus icing on the cake for her status as the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family.
But Mrs. Gu had already considered this issue when she was helping Gu Yan'er plan to avoid the marriage with the King of Qi.
Originally, Madam Gu wanted to discuss with Prime Minister Gu to register Gu Ying'er under her own name and give her the title of a legitimate daughter. But then she thought that if both legitimate daughters were registered under her own name, it would seem that she would be the only one to benefit, and this might not convince Prime Minister Gu.
After much deliberation, Madam Gu finally came up with this idea. She promoted Princess Qi's biological mother, Liu, to be a co-wife, and Princess Qi became a legitimate daughter, and her brother also became a legitimate son, giving Princess Qi enough face. At the same time, it also solved the current situation of the Gu family without a legitimate son, which Prime Minister Gu had always been worried about. She was just a little wronged in terms of status, but in exchange, Yan'er would no longer be a victim of marriage, which was good enough.
Perhaps when she was young and full of vigor, Mrs. Gu would have fought for status and always hoped to have another legitimate son. Now that she is old and has only Yan'er as a daughter, she no longer wants a legitimate son. She just hopes that Yan'er can marry the one she loves and live happily. Moreover, since I brought up this matter myself, Prime Minister Gu will feel that I have taken the overall situation into consideration and compromised, and he may even pity me more.
Moreover, after the Prime Minister's Mansion had a co-wife, Madam Gu was no longer just his exclusive name, but also Madam Liu. In the future, in order to distinguish them, others would call him Madam Qin and Madam Liu. Suddenly thinking of the title of Madam Qin, I suddenly felt something strange. I had been Madam Gu for too long, and had been a subordinate of Prime Minister Gu for too long. The three words "Madam Qin" made me suddenly return to my original surname and find myself again.
Once the decision is made, the next step is to implement it. As early as when Gu Yan'er wrote to say that she and Lu Yugang had a deep affection for each other, and Gu Ying'er was promoted to the principal wife of the King of Qi, Madam Qin proposed to Prime Minister Gu the idea of promoting Liu to be his co-wife.
After listening to Madam Qin's proposal, Prime Minister Gu weighed the pros and cons and agreed. So when Gu Yan'er returned home and the Zhenguo Marquis's residence came to propose marriage, Prime Minister Gu did not make things too difficult for Madam Qin.
Prime Minister Gu and Madam Qin discussed that they would wait until Princess Qi gave birth before telling her the news. One reason was that they were afraid that she would get too excited and hurt the fetus, and the other was to add icing on the cake.
As soon as the news that the Prime Minister's Mansion was going to promote the concubine came out, everyone with a discerning eye knew that the Prime Minister's Mansion was doing this for the sake of the eldest grandson of the legitimate emperor.
Lu Lingxi had no idea about the discussions outside about who was superior, the crown prince or the eldest grandson of the emperor. She only knew that getting married was really troublesome.
I had escaped from the wedding dress embroidery incident before, but now the wedding is just a few days away, and I have to learn all kinds of rules. The rules I had learned before were about the etiquette of treating people of different status, and how to read clothes when the identity is unknown, and how to identify the identity through patterns and accessories. It was complicated and numerous. Lu Lingxi thought that even if he remembered these wrongly, it would not matter, it would just make him look a little embarrassed, and he had Chunhong, who was knowledgeable, so he didn't need to waste his brainpower.
Now that the wedding date is approaching, she has changed the position. It is said that it is Nanny Jiang, who specializes in guiding the concubines in the palace. And as if she wants to teach some secret magic that is not passed on to others, she locked Lu Lingxi in a room to teach him.
At first, Lu Lingxi was curious about Nanny Jiang's mysterious appearance. In the end, he found out that she taught how to serve men, how to please men, and some unspeakable things in bed. There were even teaching books. Wasn't that a pornographic book? No wonder they had to study behind closed doors.
Lu Lingxi had always thought that modern people were more open-minded, but now he finally realized that he was superficial before. Our ancestors were much more open-minded than we thought. They even had to teach us these things before we got married.
On the first day, Lu Lingxi blushed and kept trying to find an excuse to escape. Nanny Jiang knew that these little girls would be shy, and there were many ways to refuse if they didn't want to listen, so all the excuses Lu Lingxi made were rejected.
Finally, he waited until the hour was over and quickly opened the door and ran out as if there was a ferocious beast chasing him.
As soon as he returned to Lingxi Garden, he asked Chunhong and Liulu to help him find a way to escape Nanny Jiang's class.
Liu Lu was particularly confused and kept asking him why he didn't want to take Nanny Jiang's class?
"I heard from outside that Nanny Jiang didn't punish the young lady. Is it that scary?"
Lu Lingxi was not able to explain the reason behind this, so he just said impatiently: "Oh! You won't understand even if I tell you, just help me find a solution."
Chunhong could roughly guess what Nanny Jiang was teaching, but she felt that this was something that every married woman had to learn. There were many things that the young lady didn't want to learn, and she could learn them and remind them, but after all, there were still many things she couldn't do for them. So she didn't say anything and helped Lu Lingxi with his ideas.
Lu Lingxi thought all night but couldn't think of a way to escape Nanny Jiang's class the next day.
It happened that morning that housekeeper Wei came to report that the embroiderers had finished the young lady's wedding dress and asked Lu Lingxi to try it to see if it fit and whether he liked the pattern.
Originally, Lu Lingxi had no idea about the wedding dress. As long as it fit her, she didn't care about anything else. But when she was trying on the dress, an idea came to her. Isn't this a way to skip class? The Crown Princess' wedding dress is the face of the royal family. It must be more important than Nanny Jiang's class.
So Lu Lingxi first looked left and right while wearing her wedding dress, wasting a lot of time without saying a word. The embroiderers beside her were unsure of Miss Lu's temper and did not dare to speak rashly. They just waited for her to speak nervously.
Lu Lingxi had been looking at the bronze mirror that was taller than her, swaying left and right and turning around from time to time. Don't say that this dress really fits her, after all, she had measured her size. The pattern embroidered with gold thread on this wedding dress was also very noble, and the phoenix tail on the tail skirt behind her actually shone in different colors under different light. She really couldn't find any faults, the key point was that she didn't know much about women's work, so she didn't know how to find faults in this aspect.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "This wedding dress makes me look old, and this phoenix crown looks heavy. I have to wear it all day and it will make me tired. I have to alter it."
When the concubines saw that Lu Lingxi was not satisfied with the wedding dress, they immediately knelt down and apologized.
Lu Lingxi already felt guilty for looking for trouble. If these embroiderers really knelt down to apologize, she would be even more embarrassed. She quickly stopped them: "Don't kneel, don't kneel, it doesn't matter, just change it casually."
The embroiderers were all honest people who made a living from their craft, and they didn't know how to flatter. When they heard Lu Lingxi say that they didn't need to kneel, they really didn't kneel. They just asked sincerely, "Miss Lu, do you have any other opinions? Tell us as well, and we'll fix it and send it to you as soon as possible after we go back."
When Lu Lingxi heard that they were going to go back to revise it, she immediately became unhappy and said hastily, "We can't go back to revise it. We can revise it in the Marquis' Mansion. There are only ten days left before the divorce. Wouldn't it be a waste of time for you to go back and forth? Just revise it here. I'll watch you revise it. If you have any opinions, we can communicate at any time."
In this way, Lu Lingxi did not go out to play, but watched the embroiderers make wedding clothes while she ate melon seeds and read storybooks. Nanny Jiang did not come to look for her.
The embroiderers did not wait for Lu Lingxi to give any substantive suggestions. They just thought about improving the wedding dress based on what Lu Lingxi said, that it was old-fashioned and the phoenix crown was too heavy. No matter how they changed it, Lu Lingxi agreed, but he just wanted to watch over them, and he watched over them for eight or nine days in a row.
Until one day Liu Lu came running to say, "Miss, Nanny Jiang has packed up her things and returned to the palace. She just left a few books for you. You can read them yourself and understand them."
Lu Lingxi said to the embroiderers, "Okay, this wedding dress is perfect, you can go back. This period of time is supposed to be a time for family reunion, but I have to trouble you to help me modify the wedding dress. I will pay you five times your wages for these days. Go to Butler Wei to collect it."
After saying this, she turned around and ran away without waiting for the embroiderers to thank her. She could finally go out and play. In five days, she would not be so comfortable in the Prince's Mansion.
