Shock! The maid in the Marquis's mansion gave birth to the eldest son of the prince

Looking at the glutinous rice dumpling unconsciously calling "Mom, Mom", Chan Yi couldn't help but feel a tenderness in her heart.

An'er, you must grow up without worries. Your mother must work harder to make money and create better living conditions for you. In this world, you are my only concern and my only relative.

Chan Yi hugged An'er's soft and warm body tightly, and suddenly felt full of strength.

In the past two days, she carefully checked the plain brocade silks woven by several families. After comparison, she found that the products of Wang's family in the west of the town were the best. The silks of this family were firm, delicate, soft and shiny. Although the price was a little expensive, it was quite cost-effective.

Chan Yi asked Zhang to buy a piece of silk and was going to find someone to try dyeing. She knew very little about this technology, but Zhang happened to have a senior brother who was engaged in silk dyeing, so she sent the silk to be dyed into the bright red color she wanted. She knew that this color was the color that brides wore on their wedding day.

Jiangyin is a wealthy city, and girls from ordinary families would wear bright red satin wedding dresses when they got married. Some were embroidered by their families themselves, while others were custom-made in embroidery shops.

Chan Yi asked her own clothing shop to make a bright red wedding dress according to the pattern she drew and her body size for her to take home.

On the day that the wedding dress was brought home, Mother Zhou stared at it intently. The silk was soft and smooth, with flowing lines, and the design and slits of the waisted skirt were unique. After Chan Yi put it on, it highlighted the gentle and beautiful figure of a Jiangnan woman. The red wedding dress and Chan Yi's fair skin set off each other, which was a beautiful sight.

"Girl, you are really beautiful." Mother Zhou stroked the smooth silk and smiled softly, but she couldn't help feeling sad. Such a beautiful woman was just a maid of the prince. Now she escaped after many hardships, but her identity became a widow. I'm afraid she will never have the chance to wear such a beautiful wedding dress in her life. I guess she had some regrets in her heart, so she made this dress specially to satisfy her craving for wearing wedding dresses.

"Mom, I want to make this wedding dress more beautiful and noble!" Chan Yi blinked her big eyes and said with a smile, "Let's do the wedding dress business in the future!"

"Really? What the girl said must be right!" Mother Zhou smiled and helped Chanyi change out of her wedding dress.

"This is just a rough draft. Once it's decorated with pearls and embroidered with peony and mandarin duck patterns, it will definitely look more luxurious and beautiful!" Chan Yi gestured on the clothes with her hands. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was a good one.

She used to live in a small city in the south of the Yangtze River, where there was a wedding dress city with high-quality, low-priced and novel styles. Brides from all over the country came here to choose the beautiful wedding dress that suited them best.

In ancient times, wedding dresses were also the most concerned clothes for girls when they got married. If the bride wanted to stand out at the wedding, wedding dresses were a key step.

Chan Yi started to embroider according to the pattern she had drawn. Her embroidery skills were first-rate, and she could embroider any delicate pattern with ease.

In just a few days, a beautiful wedding dress was completed. The collar of the dress was decorated with delicate freshwater pearls, the lapels were embroidered with flowers and prosperity, the shoulders were tied with embroidered gold thread Ruyi tassels, and the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water embroidered on the hem was vivid and praised by everyone.

As soon as this wedding dress was hung in the clothing shop, it was spotted by the wife of a wealthy businessman who came from the city to visit relatives in Zhuantang. She paid for it and took it away without saying a word.

For a while, the business of the clothing shop was very good, and everyone came to ask if wedding dresses could be customized. Even the shopkeeper Zhang did not expect that people would be so receptive to novel wedding dresses.

Chan Yi was delighted to hear the news and immediately decided to change her ready-made clothing shop into a custom wedding dress shop. She personally designed several wedding dresses for customers to choose from and selected several embroiderers with superb embroidery skills in the town to embroider together.

Usually, Chan Yi's main job is to design styles and embroidery patterns, and all other matters are left to the clothing shop and the embroiderer, and everything is arranged in order.

Pei Jin accompanied Madam Wang into the palace, and as expected, he met the wife of Marquis Wuyang and Miss Lu on the palace road.

Just as Mrs. Wang was about to salute, she saw the wife of Marquis Wuyang walk away with a cold look on her face. Instead, Lu Jingqiu slightly bent over and followed her mother away.

"Be careful," Mrs. Wang felt a little uncertain. After all, her son was in the wrong. "How do you think this will end?"

Pei Jin comforted his mother in a gentle voice: "Mother, don't worry. With the Queen here, this matter will be properly resolved. Let's not rush in. Let them speak out their demands first so that the Queen will have an idea."

After listening to Pei Jin's words, Mrs. Wang thought they made a lot of sense. The mother and son deliberately wandered outside Kunning Palace for a while before asking the palace servants to inform them of the audience.

"Madam, be careful, you are here." After the ceremony between the monarch and the minister, Empress Xiao said in a gentle voice, "I have already known about your marriage proposal with the Marquis of Wuyang. It was originally a happy event, but since something went wrong, there is nothing we can do about it."

"Empress, I'm sorry to trouble you. This is my humble fault." Pei Jin bowed and nodded slightly to the mother and daughter of Marquis Wuyang who were standing on his left.

"Alas, there is nothing we can do about it. Since Shenzhi has a hidden illness and cannot perform the Zhougong rites, your Yong'an Marquis Mansion should have made it clear earlier and should not have concealed it from the Wuyang Marquis Mansion. In this matter, your Yong'an Marquis Mansion went too far." Empress Xiao looked at Pei Jin with a bit of pity.

"This..." Madam Wang looked at Empress Xiao in surprise and was about to ask, but was stopped by Pei Jin's eyes.

"This matter is indeed our fault." Pei Jin bowed and said earnestly, "Empress, I thought I was in good health, so I did not tell my mother when discussing the marriage. I didn't expect that I often felt powerless recently, and then I realized that it was due to the poisoning in the northern border last time. I thought I might recover in three to five years, but I was afraid... I had wasted Miss Lu's youth, so..."

"Be careful..." Mrs. Wang was shocked and her body shook, almost unable to stand.

As the wife of Marquis Wuyang said last time, she would say anything to cancel the engagement. I didn't expect her to slander Shen Zhi as inhumane and infertile, but her son didn't refute it. What should I do? If it gets out, which girl will dare to marry him in the future?

"Mother." Pei Jin stepped forward to support Madam Wang and whispered, "My son is seeking medical treatment. Maybe there is still a chance of recovery."

"Shenzhi, you were killed by the thieves for defending your country, but you are still young and will surely recover." Empress Xiao said softly, "I believe you did not intentionally conceal anything. In this case, this marriage is cancelled. You can each take back the engagement letter and marriage certificate."

"Empress, our Jingqiu is such a good noble lady..." said the wife of Marquis Wuyang aggrievedly.
