Su Cha indeed said so many things, but Lin Chujiu actually listen to all of it. Knowing that Xiao Tianyao didn’t deliberately want to take her life, Lin Chujiu’s heart was comforted. But in the end, she couldn’t accept to make her life difficult.
Lin Chujiu knew that walking side by side with Xiao Tianyao will be full of difficulties. But, it doesn’t mean, he could use and hurt her.
She felt that their relationship right now was good. She could relax, so she doesn’t want to change it.
She doesn’t need to consider Xiao Tianyao’s dissatisfaction. She doesn’t need to worry about if Xiao Tianyao was angry. She can live the way she wants. Lin Chujiu really regarded Xiao Wangfu now as her home. She even had a mood to call the people in the front yard to build her a swing. And not just any ordinary swing, but a swinging wicker chair, where she could nest under the sun.
When Housekeeper Cao heard Lin Chujiu’s request, he personally brought a craftsman over. He also asked Lin Chujiu if she wanted to plant flowers in her yard.
“No, it’s alright.” Lin Chujiu likes to see some flowers, but she has no time and energy to take care of them. So, she was very satisfied with her current green lawn.
This is much easy to take care of.
Housekeeper Cao didn’t persuade Lin Chujiu. In the afternoon, people started installing the exact swing Lin Chujiu wanted. The swinging wicker chair was crafted well, it was very strong. Two people sitting together will have no problem at all.
In order to have shelter under the rain, Housekeeper Cao also made preparations and put a simple wooden stall, which could be planted with some vine plants.
Seeing the beautiful swinging wicker chair in front of him, Housekeeper Cao couldn’t help but fantasize. Inside his mind, their Wangye and Wangfei were sitting together while the swing slowly swinging.
The picture was very beautiful, and their Wangye was very happy.
After finishing all this, Housekeeper Cao left to report back to Xiao Tianyao.

Even when Xiao Wangfu was very busy with current events. There was nothing Xiao Tianyao couldn’t know. Unless he himself doesn’t want to know it.
Housekeeper Cao has always been the person reporting things about Lin Chujiu.
“Mmm.” Xiao Tianyao simply replied, while his left that was holding the brush keep writing on the paper. After reporting, Housekeeper Cao bowed his head.
After a while, Xiao Tianyao put down the brush in his hand and said, “Let the Embroidery Mama send clothes and jewelry to Wangfei.”
The Southern Princess and Western Prince will arrive in the Eastern Country tomorrow. Xiao Tianyao doesn’t need to pick the people personally, but he must attend the palace banquet.
“This slave understand.” Housekeeper Cao folded his hand and left to look for the Embroidery Mama.

It was not Lin Chujiu’s first time to appear on a social occasion, but it will be the first time she will attend together with Xiao Tianyao. It was necessary for her to dress up well.
When Feicui and Zhenzhu received this news, they began to prepare Lin Chujiu’s clothes.
Feicui and Zhenzhu knew that Lin Chujiu doesn’t like wearing bright colored clothes. But, they prepared a set of scarlet palace dress for her. These four maidservants deliberately choose this color. Xiao Tianyao always wear red clothes in front of the people. If Lin Chujiu wear this color, it will be surely a match to their Wangye.
“Wangfei, this is the clothes we prepared for you. You should try them first. If it doesn’t fit you, we will change it at once.” Shanhu and Manao picked up the dress to reveal the delicate embroidery they made.
“You have the heart.” There will be a palace banquet tomorrow, although Lin Chujiu doesn’t want to put so much effort into it, she also doesn’t want to be rude. She knew she must try the clothes first so that the four maidservants could make an adjustment in advance.
Feicui and Zhenzhu came forward, they wanted to serve Lin Chujiu in changing clothes. However, they heard footsteps outside the door, the Embroidery Mama, couple with other maidservants came with trays in their hand and walked in: “Wangfei, this slave was ordered to send you clothes and jewelry.”
Inner clothes, middle clothes, outer clothes, accessories. The trays were of full of it.
Feicui and Zhenzhu were stunned for a moment, but then their face brimmed with joy: “Wangfei, these must be dresses Wangye prepared for you.” They thought their Wangye will not prepare anything for their Wangfei. Before, when their Wangfei first entered the palace, their Wangye didn’t bother about it, so their Wangfei almost made a fool of herself.
Lin Chujiu took a glanced at it and then said with a smile: “Let’s try the dress you prepared first.”
“Yes, Wangfei.” Feicui and Zhenzhu was happy. Although their embroidery skills were good, it couldn’t be compared to the Embroidery Mama. However, they were still a bit confident in their skills.
The Embroidery Mama didn’t get angry, she just stood quietly like a puppet.
Feicui and Zhenzhu were not people around Lin Chujiu only for decorations. The size of the dress they made was just right. And the complicated pattern they made coincide with Lin Chujiu’s restrain character. It was only a piece of clothing but it made Lin Chujiu’s atmosphere greatly sharp.
“Wangfei is really beautiful.” The four maidservants sincerely praised.
Their Wangfei was actually beautiful, it’s just, she doesn’t like to dress up.
“It’s really good.” People rely on clothes was a reasonable statement.
After they were praised, the four maidservants were very happy. They help Lin Chujiu removed the dress, then said: “Wangfei, let’s try the dress Wangye sent.”
Xiao Tianyao prepared a set of golden palace dress. The style was simple and generous, but the embroidery was extremely delicate.
The cuffs and bottom skirt have a silver lining, which outlines the pattern of Xiangyun (Oriental Clouds). Even if the embroidery was flat, when the light reflects on it, it can be seen the Xiangyun seems to be moving.
With such a detailed and delicate pattern, it was proved that the Embroidery Mama spent a lot of thoughts and time on this set of dress. Not to mention, the dozens of accessories including for this set of dress.
“Beautiful…… ……” When Feicui and Zhenzhu saw the dress, they couldn’t help but praise.
They burn their brains to think of the style of dress they will make. But, their work still couldn’t compare to the dress their Wangye has prepared.
The four maidservants joked around: “Fortunately, Wangfei first tried the dress we made, otherwise, we will be so embarrassed to take it out.”
“Embroidery Mama’s main job is to make clothes, you really shouldn’t compare yourselves.” The set of dress they made has a dozen matching belts. If it wasn’t specially made, how can someone spend so much effort?
“Well, as long as Wangfei will not loathe our works.” The four maidservants didn’t get embarrassed, they help Lin Chujiu change clothes.
The gold color has always been a special color only for the royal family. Ordinary people, nor noble people cannot wear such color. It was Lin Chujiu’s first time to wear one, so she was also very shocked.
The dress was not only beautiful but very gorgeous. The color doesn’t look as arrogant as the scarlet color. But it gives off a very noble atmosphere, just like an empress.
“Wangye really has good eyes. Wangfei looks very beautiful in gold.” The eyes of the four maidservants widen in surprised.
For a moment, they thought that the woman in front of them was the crown princess, who is preparing to be crowned as the Empress.
“It is beautiful.” No woman will refuse such a beautiful dress, Lin Chujiu was no exception.
The four maidservants spirit was stirred: “Wangfei, let’s try the other dress.”
Their Wangye completely prepared everything. Even the hair accessories and jewelry were matched. All the sets were new, but they tried everything to see which one was the best for Lin Chujiu.
Lin Chujiu didn’t refuse…… ……

While Lin Chujiu was preparing for the palace banquet tomorrow, the Southern Princess was looking at the information about her.
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
She came to the East Country for Xiao Tianyao, Lin Chujiu was the biggest stone blocking her way…… ……
