âOh......â
Inside Murong Qi Qiâs voice, thereâs no surprise. When she had met Jin Mo earlier, Murong Qi Qi had already known that Feng Cang was in Xi Qi. Today, he came to visit Jue Se Fang, he seemed to be in a good mood.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just thinking once, Murong Qi Qi already guessed Feng Cangâs intention.
During this time, she seemed to have been âpamperedâ till she had became spoiled by Feng Cangâs care. Clothes, foods, houses, transportation, Feng Cang made all the arrangements for her. Even the plants and flowers in her Cui Zhu yuan1 had been specially sent by his people.
Feng Cang was even worried that she would not be accustomed to the food of Bei Zhou. He specifically sent the cook of his wangfu2 to chengxiangfu3 to make roast lamb, Mongolian hotpot (instant boiled mutton) and milk tea for her.
This man mustâve learned the trick to get someoneâs heart. Heâs obviously in Xi Qi, but never showed up. He just let everything around her, every stitch, every plant and trees be branded with his mark, making it so that even if she wanted to forget, it would be difficult. Have to say, this was a very good method. Now, even Su Yue and Su Mei are talking about how good Feng Cang is.
Not long ago, news came from Fang Kui. On the first day Tong Bao Zhai had opened at Bei Zhou, the flower crown design Murong Qi Qi made with golden threads âAutumn Flowerâ was bought by a mysterious person at a high price. That person was Feng Cangâs subordinate. Feng Cang probably did it for the banquet at the palace!
However, as to why Feng Cang was treating her so good made Murong Qi Qi feel very confused.
According to research, his parents had died at the battle on Yangdang Mountain. The one whoâd turned the tables, making Xi Qi win the battle was Murong Tai. Feng Cang should be hating Xi Qi, hate the Murong family. So why does he want to marry her, this ârubbishâ from Murong family and keep spoiling her again and again?
Could it be that he changed his method to get revenge? Does he want to get her to the top and then let her fall to her bones as revenge for his parents? If itâs like this, then he picked the wrong person......
âMiss, you look... ...,â Fang Tong opened his mouth. This matter was related to Murong Qi Qi, miss needed to make her own decision.
âNo need to worry!â
Seeing through Fang Tong, Murong Qi Qi smiled: âWhenever he takes a fancy to any clothes, just shout a high price. Having Nan Lin wang4 Feng Cangâs campaign for us, Jue Se Fang would surely be on fire in Xi Qi country. This banquet at the palace is a good opportunity!â
Talking til here, Murong Qi Qi paused.
The only clothes that could match âAutumn Flowersâ was the âGold thread dressâ. If Feng Cang gave her âAutumn Flowerâ in order to gain her favor, then only this âGold thread dressâ could match it.
âSend the âGold thread dressâ out. He would surely love it.â
Murong Qi Qi slowly stood up. A silver light flashed from her hand. A little dandelion got hooked and was now in her sight. (TN: she hooked the flower from outside the window)
Seeing miss taking action, Fang Tong didnât even dare to breathe loudly.
Everyone knew that miss had sir Mozunâs skills. The âGrasp flower laughâ seen just now was one of sir Mozunâs secret skills. If you got the strength right, then taking peopleâs lives was a matter simpler than breathing.
âBy the way, tell him the poem.â
Murong Qi Qi got the dandelion down and stared at it thoughtfully.
Seeing that Murong Qi Qi didnât speak any further, Fang Tong bowed again and retreated. He personally took the âGold thread dressâ to Feng Cang.
âThis is our shopâs treasure âGold thread dressâ.â
Although Feng Cang was wearing a gauze hat and Fang Tong couldnât see this wangyeâs expression, but with his knowledge of his missâs craftsmanship, he must be shocked. If this future guye5 found out in the future that his miss is Guang Hua gongzi6, really donât know what kind of expression heâll expose!
Although itâs called âGold thread dressâ, in fact it has nothing to do with gold. Itâs a fire-red dress. The color was youthful and beautiful. On top, itâs covered with a gold colored gauze.
The most amazing thing was that on the gold colored gauze, thereâs landscape outlined on it. Thousand cranes flying, vigorous pines majestically towering over a cliff to covet a day, whereas breeze strokes the goldenrod cliff.
And at the end of the cliff, thereâs a waterfall spraying many splashes. Even the drops were clearly outlined like theyâre alive. Under the waterfall, you would even be able to see a few fish swimming joyously.
If it was a painting, itâs already artistic. If itâs on a dress, it could be considered a treasure.
Feng Cang had never seen such a painting being drawn on clothes. So alive. It seemed that Jue Se Fang was so famous since it indeed had some capabilities.
âNot bad.....â
Itâs like what Fang Tong thought. Feng Cang really took a fancy on this âGold thread dressâ.
âDid your gongzi say where this gold thread dress came from?â
âWhen our gongzi designed this gold thread dress, he made a poem.â
âOh?â
Feng Cang obviously had strong interest in this poem. Fang Tong saw this and acted according to Murong Qi Qiâs order. He wrote down the poem and handed it to Feng Cang.
âAdvise gentleman to not pity gold thread dress, advise gentleman to cherish time (of being young), flowers blossoming may endure breaking but must break over time, donât stay there waiting till the flower breaks.â
Feng Cangâs voice was very appealing to the ears. Even Fang Tong, as a man, felt very comfortable listening to it. Itâs just, donât know how the personality of this future guye is......
âGuang Hua gongzi is really interesting! This dress, I... ...â
Feng Cang hadnât finished speaking when they heard an arrogant voice: âBengong7 wants this dress!â
At the door stood a well-dressed girl. She rushed to âGold thread dress. There were stars shining in her eyes.
âHeavens! Really beautiful! Bengong finally understands why Nan Fengâs imperial noble consort only loves Jue Se Fangâs clothes! Imperial sister-in-law, look, isnât it really beautiful?â
The one talking was princess Ping Yang Longze Yu Er and the imperial sister in law was Murong Xin Lian. The two originally came to prepare for the banquet at the palace. They heard that Jue Se Fang had come to the Xi Liang, so they came together.
Xi Liang is the capital of Xi Qi.
Since the lake tour, Longze Yu Er and Murong Xin Lian inexplicably became a lot closer. Maybe itâs because the two of them donât like Murong Qi Qi. Thatâs why they have so much in common to talk about. Longze Yu Er even saw Murong Xin Lian as her close friend and would talk about everything with her.
âReally beautiful!â
After Murong Xin Lian saw this âGold thread dressâ, her gaze never left it. Although she also wanted this dress, but Longze Yu Er was a princess. Her purpose today was to please Longze Yu Er, so she had to reluctantly cut her love.
âWhen princess wears it at the banquet, princess will surely shine over everyone else there!â
Longze Yu Er was very happy after hearing Murong Xin Lianâs flattery. She took a fancy to this dress from the first glance. In Longze Yu Erâs eyes, this dress was tailor made for her. And only her, this noble and excellent princess, had the right to wear this âGold thread dressâ.
Fang Tong knew who she was, but miss said this dress was for future guye. Fang Tong naturally wouldnât let other people get it.
âSorry! This dress has already been bought by this young master!â
âWhat?!â
Hearing someone refuse her, Longze Yu Er angrily put on one hand on her hip. The other hand pointed at Fang Tongâs nose. She said angrily: âOpen your dog eyes and look clearly. Bengong is princess Ping Yang! Who took a fancy on this dress? Is the other party nobler than bengong?â
