180, Forbidden City dress
Princess Yong'an saw that Concubine Qin agreed, so she couldn't say anything more, she just gave Gu Qianxue a hard look, "Be careful, don't let Wan Qing lose her face."
"..." Gu Qianxue was speechless, and finally didn't bother arguing with the eldest princess, "Your Majesty, how about trying this dress first?"
"Okay." Concubine Qin was very obedient, stood up, was served by the maid and entered the screen, untied one by one skirts, and changed into snow-white dresses.
After a while, when Concubine Qin slowly walked out from behind the screen, not to mention everyone, even the eldest princess was shocked.
"Wan Qing, you are so beautiful in this dress, it is a kind of beauty beyond the dust," the eldest princess never hesitated to praise her girlfriends, "I thought you would look dull in this white dress, but on the contrary , but extraordinarily gorgeous, even more gorgeous than gold!"
Although it is a pure white skirt, it is a tribute from another country. To make such expensive and rare pure white brocade into clothes, it is natural to find the most skilled tailor to design, and its style is naturally noble and elegant.
Gu Qianxue explained patiently at the side, "The concubine Qin has just recovered from a serious illness, and her figure is very thin. If she really wears bright red and green, she will definitely not be able to manage it. But light colors such as white have a magnifying effect, and the empress will look plump when she wears it. Of course, if you simply wear it like this, it really won't work."
As she spoke, Gu Qianxue took out a piece of silk cloth from among the items lined up on the table.
This is a piece of dark green silk with a hundred flower patterns embroidered with gold thread. It is luxurious and exquisite, and the silky material shines gracefully in the sun, full of a sense of wealth and nobility.
Gu Qianxue opened the fabric directly, because the fabric was well-cared for, even if it was taken out of the warehouse, there was no slight wrinkle.
Gu Qianxue raised her hand, and put the cloth on Concubine Qin's body.
Everyone was puzzled, did Gu Qianxue want to tailor clothes on the spot? But no matter how skillful your hands are, you can't make any decent clothes in an afternoon.
After Gu Qianxue put the cloth on Concubine Qin's body, she took a few steps back, squinted her eyes and looked up and down, "That's right, that's right, that's what it means." She muttered to herself.
The eldest princess was puzzled, "What do you mean by that, could it be that Wan Qing is going out wearing cloth for the dinner party?"
Gu Qianxue nodded, "Yes."
In fact, Gu Qianxue has no research on fashion design, but has a specialization in art. As a doctor, she is definitely not a beauty expert, but she has a memory! She also remembers all kinds of classic dresses seen in modern times.
Among them is this similar dress - the Forbidden City.
The Forbidden City dress is a custom-made dress worn by modern movie star Fan Bingbing when she participated in the charity gala of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, USA. The golden sequined tube top skirt is like the scales of the dragon body, and the water shines like the scales of the dragon body. The cloak with Chinese lotus flowers, city walls, and waves on it gives the artistic conception of "flowers in the mirror and moon in the water".
The Forbidden City dress is dazzling and has a huge aura. The moment Fan Bingbing appeared in this dress, it caused a sensation.
When Gu Qianxue saw the dark green fabric in the warehouse, she immediately thought of the dresses of the Forbidden City, but although the royal family of Nanyue Kingdom can wear gold, only the emperor can wear pure gold clothes, and the others can only be embellished with gold.
Therefore, Gu Qianxue chose the next best thing and chose this pure white dress.
The eldest princess was in a hurry, "Gu Qianxue, are you crazy? Wan Qing is a noble concubine of a country, how can she embarrass herself with a junior like you?"
Concubine Qin also had a conflicted look on her face, and she was a little shaken.
Gu Qianxue asked the maid to fetch paper and pen, and then called the embroiderer in the house, and then quickly drew the style of the "Forbidden City Dress" on the paper, and handed it to the embroiderer, and also put forward some important requirements. "Can it be done?"
Xiu Niang nodded, "Servant, try."
Gu Qianxue said to the eldest princess with unprecedented patience, "Your Highness, don't worry, just wait a moment."
The embroiderer received the dark green silk and immediately started to sew according to the style drawn on the paper.
At this time, Gu Qianxue was not idle, brushed and brushed, and soon drew a hairstyle on the paper.
This is a very simple bun, unlike the complicated hairstyles popular in Nanyue country, it is as simple as the buns that rural peasant women pull casually when doing farm work.
"This... can it work?" The eldest princess felt that Gu Qianxue was unreliable.
Gu Qianxue smiled, "Just try it for a while?" She said, showing the blueprint to a maid who was usually in charge of combing Concubine Qin's hair.
"Can you do this kind of bun?" Gu Qianxue asked.
The servant girl looked at it and nodded respectfully, "Yes."
After arranging the bun, Gu Qianxue began to arrange jewelry.
The eldest princess is not idle here, she keeps trying to persuade Concubine Qin. "Wanqing, you have to think about it, Gu Qianxue is young and ignorant, you can't mess around with her, don't become the laughing stock of the harem."
Concubine Qin frowned, pursed her lips, and thought seriously, finally nodded, "Just listen to Qianxue."
The eldest princess slumped on the grand master's chair like a deflated ball, her huge body seemed to collapse the grand master's chair.
In the time it takes for a stick of incense, the skillful embroiderer has already finished sewing the dark green cloak. The whole cloak is in the shape of a bell jar. In order to prevent slipping, two straps are sewn inside the cloak, and people are like Just like wearing clothes, put your arms into the belt, and the cloak is firmly draped over your shoulders.
When Concubine Qin put on the dark green cloak, everyone couldn't help but shine.
The soft and beautiful Concubine Qin is extremely dignified and noble under this strange dress. The dark green cloak is like the cloak on the shoulders of a marshal commanding thousands of troops, with a majestic and majestic style that is unique to women.
The eldest princess opened her mouth and said nothing for a long time.
"Come and comb your hair for your empress," Gu Qianxue said.
"Yes." The maid in charge of dressing hastily tied up Concubine Qin's hair according to Qianxue's plan.
Maybe people in Nanyue think this bun is simple and crude, but in fact, this bun is widely popular in Western courts.
Concubine Qin's thick, jet-black hair was tied into a western-style bun, showing an exotic nobility, while Gu Qianxue took out a set of pearl necklaces.
The necklace was not worn on Concubine Qin's body, but on her head.
The plump and round pearls just circled Concubine Qin's hair bun, complementing the snow-white skirt from a distance, like a noble lady in a European court, pure but glamorous.
"Is the hot water ready?" Gu Qianxue asked.
The servant girl brought boiling water, but she didn't know why. "Miss Recall, get ready."
Gu Qianxue rolled the towel into a roll, ironed it in hot water, and then wrapped the two strands of hair deliberately left on Concubine Qin's forehead on the hot towel, waited for a while, and wrapped the two strands of hair with rice paper .
The room was quiet, and everyone including the eldest princess and Nanny Shen were full of curiosity. They didn't know what Gu Qianxue was going to do, they only felt that Gu Qianxue had a plan in mind.
