The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

Then, turning to Yue Li, who was full of doubt, he said, "The people outside are people I invited to take your measurements. The clothes you're wearing now are all ready-made from clothing stores. I was worried that they might be uncomfortable for you, so I had these skilled tailors come and take your measurements."

"Once the measurements are taken, have them find some skilled embroiderers to make you a few more dresses as soon as possible."

"There's no need for that. I think the ready-made clothes in the clothing store are fine. Look at the two dresses I'm wearing today, they fit perfectly. And when you were getting the clothes earlier, I saw there were quite a few new dresses in the wardrobe."

Having ready-made clothes to wear is quite nice.

Why bother hiring someone to take measurements, tailor clothes, and choose patterns? The finished clothes don't seem to be any different from the originals!

"The workmanship of ready-made clothes in clothing stores is still a bit rough. The dresses made by having someone make them at home are much more meticulous. Besides, it's not really good to buy your underwear from outside shops."

Jin Chenyuan has rarely worn clothes bought from outside in his life. Only in the last two years, when he has been traveling frequently, has he occasionally bought some clothes to wear locally.

However, all his clothes, inside and out, were made in the Imperial Clothing Workshop of the palace. Moreover, he didn't have to worry about his clothes at all. All year round, the Empress Dowager, who lived in the palace, would send the clothes made for him to Prince Chen's residence in advance.

Yue Li: ……

粗糙？

Where is it rough?

Every single piece of clothing she's wearing now is made of smooth, silky satin.

If this were in modern times, wouldn't any dress cost tens of thousands?

Back when I was in school in modern times, my school uniform was worn out and frayed, but I still wore it anyway, didn't I?

But looking at Jin Chenyuan's face, it seemed like she was being wronged by wearing such clothes.

Yue Li was speechless.

Ok,

Since we've invited them all here, it wouldn't be right to just send them home without doing anything.

"Then let them in. The sooner we finish taking the measurements, the sooner they can go back."

After straightening Yue Li's somewhat disheveled clothes, Jin Chenyuan called out, "Chuan Wu, bring the people in."

"Yes."

After Chuanwu responded from outside the door, he led four men carrying bolts of cloth into the room.

When Yue Li saw the four men following Chuan Wu, she was surprised for a moment, but she quickly realized that these men were the tailors and embroiderers of this world.

They shouldn't be called embroiderers, well, they should be called embroidery workers.

Even after figuring it out, Yue Li's surprise didn't lessen. She wondered how these men embroidered. How did they hold such tiny needles?

Extremely curious, Yue Li subconsciously went to examine the hands hanging down on the others' sides.

Ok?

Her hands, hanging down, were completely hidden in her wide sleeves, so they were not visible at all.

At this moment, the people in front of him had already bowed and were called to their feet by Jin Chenyuan.

Yue Li also suppressed her intense curiosity, got up from the soft couch, and walked to the center of the room so that it would be convenient for them to take measurements.

Looking at the men in front of him, Jin Chenyuan frowned. Cutting clothes and choosing embroidery patterns were fine. However, if they were to take measurements, these men would inevitably run into Yue Li.

At this moment, Jin Chenyuan suddenly regretted not learning to make clothes back then.

Sewing was an essential skill for poor men. Families with some wealth would buy ready-made clothes or hire someone from a tailor shop to make clothes for their wives or daughters.

Looking at the measuring tape that one of the men took out, Jin Chenyuan thought that although he hadn't learned how to sew clothes, he should be able to learn on the spot by taking Yue Li's measurements.

Thinking this, Jin Chenyuan stood up and came to Yue Li's side.

"What are you doing here?" Yue Li asked, puzzled, when she saw Jin Chenyuan walk up to her.

"Let me help you take the measurements."

"Huh? You can do that?" Yue Li was very skeptical.

Jin Chenyuan doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.

"It's just taking your measurements, what's so difficult about that?"

After saying that, he turned to the man with the measuring tape and said, "Give me the measuring tape, and you can teach me where to start measuring."

But the man with the ruler dared not trouble Prince Chen to do things for him. He shook his head repeatedly in fright and said, "No need to trouble Your Highness, I can do it myself."

"No need, let me do it. You can teach me where to start."

Seeing that the man still wanted to refuse, Chuan Wu tugged at his sleeve and said, "Give it to the master. You can just remind the master how to measure it."

The person who was about to refuse paused, looked at Yue Li standing next to him, and then realized what was happening.

I was too nervous just now and didn't realize for a moment that Prince Chen didn't want me to take the princess's measurements.

They were all instructed before they came to follow Prince Chen's instructions. How could he forget all of that when he got nervous?

"Oh, okay." She replied, handing the ruler in her hand to Jin Chenyuan.

Things went smoothly from there. The man taught Jin Chenyuan how to measure Yue Li's dimensions, and Jin Chenyuan wrote them down one by one.

Yue Li then selected several pieces of fabric she liked from the cloths they brought in, and chose a few simple and elegant patterns from the designs they brought.

Jin Chenyuan also selected two pieces of fabric that he thought were brightly colored and would look good on Yue Li.

After the group discussed the details of the dresses, Jin Chenyuan instructed them to finish making them as soon as possible before Chuan Wu led the four people out.

After everyone left, Yue Li sat back down on the soft couch and said happily, "Once the riding outfits I had them made are finished, I definitely want to go riding."

“Okay, I’ll take you to the Royal Racecourse for horse racing then.”

"Okay, but we need to choose a cool time."

"Well, it's all up to you."

Speaking of horse racing, Yue Li thought of Taxue, whom she had left at the inn.

"I need to go to the inn after I finish eating."

"What are you going to the inn for? Isn't it good to stay here?" Jin Chenyuan put down his teacup and asked nervously.

“My luggage and Taxue are at the inn,” Yue Li said.

Moreover, she had to take some of the usable items from the space and bring them into the open while she was getting her luggage.

Aside from the bottle of antidote pills in her purse and the jade pendant in her hand, she had nothing else on her, not even a single tael of silver.

Moreover, as long as she has luggage on the surface, it won't seem out of place if she takes out anything else.

Otherwise, even if you have food and drink, you'll still feel anxious if you don't have any money.

Knowing that Yue Li didn't want to stay at the inn, Jin Chenyuan was relieved.

However, Jin Chenyuan had already decided that if Yue Li really wanted to stay at the inn, he would definitely go with her.

When the two finished their meal, the sun was already setting and there was a slight breeze in the courtyard. They took a walk hand in hand in the courtyard to digest their food, and after admiring the flowers in full bloom in the small garden for a while, Yue Li went to take a bath in the bathtub that had been prepared in advance.

By the time Yue Li had been dressed and made up again and walked out of the gate of Prince Chen's mansion with Jin Chenyuan, it was already half an hour later.
