Chapter 246 Burning Ear Tips
The next morning, after having breakfast, Wen Jiayue prepared to send someone to invite the embroiderer.
Before she could finish speaking, Ruyi said, "Madam, the manager of Jinfule Pavilion and the embroiderers are already waiting in the courtyard."
Wen Jiayue was somewhat surprised. Didn't the Marquis's mansion already have two embroiderers? Why did they hire someone from outside?
Moreover, Jinfule is one of the top clothing shops in Chang'an City, and ordinary people cannot invite it, let alone the manager himself.
Could it be that Shen Fuhan invited them?
She suppressed her doubts and led them to the bedroom.
The shopkeeper, who always had a smiling face, said with a grin, "Greetings, Madam. My surname is Deng, and I've come today to take your measurements."
Wen Jiayue nodded: "Was it the Marquis who invited you?"
“That’s right,” Manager Deng said, taking out a measuring tape. “The Marquis also picked out a few fine pieces of fabric from our shop, saying that he wanted you, Madam, to choose them in person.”
Wen Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Men and women have different aesthetic tastes, and she was actually a little worried about Shen Fuhan's taste.
After taking off her clothes, Manager Deng took her measurements while clicking his tongue in admiration: "Madam's figure is extremely slender, she doesn't look like she's ever had a child."
Wen Jiayue felt uncomfortable hearing these words and did not respond.
Seeing her shyness, Manager Deng didn't say anything more and wrote down the measurements.
After Wen Jiayue finished dressing, the maids outside filed in, carrying fabric.
Manager Deng introduced them one by one: "Bamboo green, frost color, sky blue, moon white, and clear blue. Please choose, madam."
Wen Jiayue liked all these colors and was a little undecided.
Would it be too extravagant to make five at once?
After thinking for a moment, she finally decided, "Make me moon white and sky blue, and bamboo green and clear blue for the Marquis."
Manager Deng hesitated and said, "This... but the Marquis specifically instructed that your clothes should be the same color."
Wen Jiayue: "...?"
She and Shen Fuhan usually wore light-colored clothes, so they would occasionally wear clothes of the same color.
But those were all coincidences before, so what's going on now?
Didn't Li Zhilan hate her enough? Did she have to add fuel to the fire?
Wen Jiayue remained silent for a while before deciding to follow Shen Fuhan's wishes.
Shen Fuhan is about to leave Beijing. It would be best to take advantage of these two months to drive Li Zhilan completely mad and destroy her at all costs.
Only when the fire burns brightly enough can it extinguish Li Zhilan's rationality.
Wen Jiayue said, "Then let's choose Tianshui Bi and Zhuqing."
Manager Deng wrote it down and said, "I will definitely deliver it to Madam before the fifth day of the ninth month."
The flower-viewing banquet at the Duke of Qi's mansion is scheduled for the sixth day of the ninth lunar month.
Wen Jiayue nodded and said politely, "Thank you for your help, Manager Deng."
On the morning of the fifth day of the ninth lunar month, Manager Deng delivered four pieces of clothing.
"Please try it on, Madam. If it doesn't fit, we can make alterations today."
Both pieces fit perfectly, and Wen Jiayue said with satisfaction, "The clothes made by Manager Deng are absolutely perfect, and the styles are also fashionable in Chang'an."
“That’s natural,” Manager Deng said with a smile, covering his mouth. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to deliver the goods on the last day.”
Wen Jiayue smiled and said, "Once the Marquis returns to his residence, I will have him give it a try."
Shen Fuhan returned late today. After finishing his shift, he went to the palace again before returning home.
Wen Jiayue has already eaten and is playing with Zhaozhao.
Upon seeing him return, Wen Jiayue said, "The clothes are finished, Lord Marquis, please try them on."
Shen Fuhan nodded and asked, "Which one are you going to wear tomorrow?"
Wen Jiayue preferred the embroidered bamboo leaf patterned dress with a sky-blue hue and gold flecks, which was already hanging on the rack and being scented.
Shen Fuhan then tried on the Tian Shui Bi dress first.
There was a constant rustling sound, but Wen Jiayue kept her back to him and didn't turn her head to look at him.
On the contrary, Zhao Zhao stared at him changing clothes with a curious look on her face, not blinking an eye.
Wen Jiayue pulled her daughter back: "Zhaozhao, don't look at what you shouldn't see. Come and play with your mother."
Zhao Zhao obediently lowered her head and continued to fiddle with the nine-linked rings in her hands.
Upon hearing this, Shen Fuhan paused for a moment, and after confirming that the clothes fit, he took them off.
When he came out of the bathroom, Zhao Zhao was already lying down, but she was still quite conscious. When she saw him come back, she even turned her head to look at him.
Wen Jiayue shushed Shen Fuhan, reminding him to keep his voice down.
Shen Fuhan lay down in bed without saying a word and closed his eyes.
Zhao Zhao's breathing quickly became even and calm.
After waiting a few more moments and confirming that his daughter was fast asleep, Shen Fuhan picked her up.
Wen Jiayue froze instantly.
Since she fell ill, Shen Fuhan has not mentioned sex again. Could it be that he wants to... tonight?
But we have to get up early for the flower viewing party tomorrow.
In a flash, Shen Fuhan picked up Zhaozhao and placed her on the innermost side.
Wen Jiayue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't.
If it's time for intercourse, Shen Fuhan will put Zhaozhao into the cradle.
She relaxed and asked, "Is there anything the Marquis wants to tell me at the flower viewing banquet tomorrow?"
"Explain what?" Shen Fuhan asked casually, toying with her hand.
Wen Jiayue hesitated for a moment and said, "This is my first time attending a flower appreciation banquet, so I may not know the rules."
In both her lifetimes combined, she had never attended any banquets other than palace banquets.
Shen Fuhan said, "There are no rules. You are the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an, so naturally people will fawn over you and treat you with respect. There is no need to be afraid of making mistakes."
Wen Jiayue said "Oh," and then added, "I understand."
Ultimately, no one cares about her family's situation, at least not on the surface.
It still depends on the status of the husband's family. The more the emperor values her, the more attention she will receive at the banquet.
“You understand more than just that,” Shen Fuhan moved closer to her, “you also understand the principle of not looking at what is improper.”
Wen Jiayue sensed a hint of danger in his eyes and forced herself to speak: "I just said it casually to Zhaozhao."
“However, you really haven’t seen much,” Shen Fuhan asked in a low voice, “Do you also have to refrain from looking at things that are improper for your husband?”
Wen Jiayue's face was burning. Did he even know what he was saying?
"I'm going to sleep," she said, feigning composure. "Your Excellency should also retire early."
Shen Fuhan responded and then suddenly blurted out, "We'll have sex tomorrow night."
Wen Jiayue: "..." Why is there a preview?!
Based on what Shen Fuhan had just said, Wen Jiayue inexplicably felt a sense of danger.
She closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep, and didn't respond at all.
The next instant, the burning hot tip of her ear was pinched by dry, warm fingertips.
Wen Jiayue brushed his hand away, bluffing, "Stop fooling around!"
A low chuckle came from beside my ear.
"Okay, it's up to you."
