Chapter 37

She bowed her knees calmly and said, "Master Jing Lan, is Your Highness going to make clothes?"

It seems that Beigong Tengxiao often comes here to make clothes.

Jing Lan picked up the cloth in her hand, and said: "The prince's mansion needs to re-purchase the clothes of the maids and maids. First, make a dress for this girl. If the color is suitable, I will go back and report to His Highness, and then buy in bulk."

"Yes." The proprietress nodded, looked at the girl who was as pretty as a lotus in front of her, she couldn't help smiling, and said, "What a beautiful little girl, so this white dress was made for her too."

Chu Jiaoli showed a polite smile and nodded towards her.

The proprietress turned around her, carefully sized up her beautiful figure, and said, "This girl is beautiful, and any color of clothes is suitable for her."

Chu Jiaoli smiled lightly and said, "The proprietress is too flattering."

The two chatted politely for a while, and the proprietress measured her size, and then gave it to the embroiderer to sew. While waiting, she had already sent Chu Jiaoli to the private room to wait.

An hour later, the clothes were finished quickly, and the proprietress smiled and said, "Miss Jiaoli, are you satisfied with wearing it?"

Chu Jiaoli nodded, took the new clothes, and went behind the screen to change.

Slowly walking out of the screen, she came to the bronze mirror, looked up, and what caught her eyes was a chest-length skirt with a light blue gradient. The delicate fabric on the chest was embroidered with lifelike pear blossoms, which looked like a fairy dress.

She was a little dazed, she had never worn blue clothes before, and she never thought that it would be harmless.

She showed a slight smile, and said: "Since it is used as a maid's dress in the Prince's Mansion, you should go back to the mansion and ask His Highness's opinion."

"Miss Jiaoli is right."

Just as he was about to walk out of the private room, he bumped into a familiar figure head-on.

Chu Jiaoping was dressed in a simple orange dress, and the Chu family had been in a state of despair for a while. It was heard before that she was favored by Jin Shizi's younger brother, Beigong Lingshao. business identity.

The tight days have become more comfortable, so it is natural to change your outfit.

Although the Chu Mansion is a cloth merchant and there are also tailors who can make clothes, the Jinxiu Pavilion has the richest patterns and styles. It is quite a sight to come to this most famous place to order a gorgeous dress.

Before the new clothes were finished, she happened to meet Chu Jiaoli in very ordinary clothes.

Looking at Chu Jiaoli's elegant and beautiful clothes, she immediately frowned in displeasure, and tightly clenched her fists in her sleeves, feeling extremely ashamed and annoyed.

"Chu Jiaoli! Why are you here?!" Chu Jiaoping quickly walked up to Chu Jiaoli and said angrily.

Chu Jiaoli glanced at her who had a bad look, then turned and left without saying a word.

This woman is not worth her time.

The proprietress broke the deadlock with a smile, and said, "Second Miss Chu, your new clothes are almost ready, please go back to the private room and wait."

Chu Jiaoping acted as if she hadn't heard, snorted coldly, walked quickly behind Chu Jiaoli, raised her hand and tore off her robe.

"Hiss—" There was a sound, and a large piece of the finished clothes was torn off, both Chu Jiaoli and the proprietress were extremely surprised.

The proprietress immediately put Chu Jiaoli's old clothes on her body to cover her body.

Seeing the clothes being destroyed, Chu Jiaoping sneered and said, "What is your identity? You deserve to wear such beautiful clothes?"

Chu Jiaoli frowned and said, "Chu Jiaoping, you are too unreasonable."

"Second Miss Chu, you are so courageous. This is a sample of the maid's uniform custom-made by the Prince's Mansion, and it is about to be brought to His Highness for inspection." Jing Lan walked in from the outside and said indifferently.

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoping was shocked suddenly, and backed away in shock.

She only wanted to treat Chu Jiaoli, but she never thought that Beigong Tengxiao wanted the dress she destroyed with her own hands.

At this moment, her figure was trembling slightly, her lips and teeth were too flustered to make a sound.

"Quickly, tell the embroiderer to do it again!" The proprietress ordered to the maid behind her.

"Yes."

The proprietress sighed lightly, then frowned and said to Chu Jiaoping: "Second Miss Chu, you are too rude, from now on, we Jinxiu Pavilion will not accept your business again, please come back. "

"Wait." Before Chu Jiaoping could move, Jing Lan walked in front of her with a serious face and said, "If you have destroyed such an important dress, naturally you will go back to the Prince's Mansion with me and let His Highness take care of you."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoping knelt down with a "plop", cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and said, "My lord, please forgive me, I didn't mean it!"

Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips, stepped forward and said, "Jing Lan, as long as she pays for this set of clothes, let her go. I will explain to you, Your Highness." She turned her head and looked at the helpless Chu Jiaoping said, "Second sister, you should still have some silver to pay with you, right?"

Chu Jiaoping nodded immediately, and said, "My custom-made clothes should be enough for this set of clothes!"

The proprietress snorted softly and said, "It's not enough, I have to add another 20 taels."

Chu Jiaoping was stunned for a moment, the price of her custom-made costumes is not as good as Chu Jiaoli's set of maid uniforms!
But right now her life is important, she gritted her teeth and took out a 20 taels of silver ingot from her bosom, handed it to the proprietress, and left in a hurry.

Holding the hem of her skirt, she trotted along the street when she heard a sound of hoofbeats. She raised her frightened eyes and saw the groom tightening the reins.

Looking at the gorgeous carriage, Chu Jiaoping suddenly lost her legs and fell to the ground.

"Oh! What are you doing!" Concubine Ling Gui in the carriage hurriedly adjusted the hair crown on her head, sat upright, and frowned at the driver.

Hong Ying hurriedly opened the curtain, and saw the girl sitting on the ground.

She frowned and shouted: "Bold and unreasonable! The lady sitting inside is Ling Guifei! If the empress makes any mistakes, can you bear it!"

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoping's face turned pale with fright, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Imperial concubine, please spare me! The civilian girl didn't do it on purpose!"

Concubine Ling narrowed her willow eyes slightly, saw the somewhat familiar face through the curtain, and said, "What's your name?"

Chu Jiaoping broke out in cold sweat on her forehead, and said with trembling lips and teeth, "The folk girl... the name of the folk girl is Chu Jiaoping..."

Chu Jiaoping...

A trace of surprise flashed in Ling Guifei's eyes, she slightly raised her eyebrows, and said, "Do you know Chu Jiaoli?"

Chu Jiaoping lowered her head and replied: "Mother, Chu Jiaoping is the third sister of Minnv."

Hearing this, Concubine Ling was stunned for a while.

What a coincidence...

She slightly raised the corners of her lips, and said: "Forget it, you should leave quickly, be careful when walking, and don't rush."

"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness! The girl will leave now!" Chu Jiaoping kowtowed twice, then got up, walked around the carriage and left.

As the carriage continued to drive, Concubine Ling twirled the ring on her finger leisurely.

Hongying was puzzled and said: "Mother, Chu Jiaoli's relatives, why did you just let it go?"

"Hmph." Concubine Ling Gui sneered and said, "Leave it for now, it's useful, you send someone to investigate, what is the relationship between her and Chu Jiaoli?"
