The Xiuhe dress was the one she fell in love with at first glance.
Even though she’d only seen a picture of it in an email from the wedding company, the handcrafted embroidery and exquisite hair ornants imdiately captivated her.
Since she had already decided to marry, Kang Yunxi wouldn’t allow herself to be perfunctory.
Even if this marriage was not her wish.
Song Baiyan had also promised to organize the wedding grandly.
At that ti, Song Baiyan would be the witness.
In the Tan Palace Garden, filled with guests, she would wear the Xiuhe dress, her face hidden behind a round fan, coming from a sea of flowers to await the groom at the end, along with the witness.
She wanted her big brother to see her at her best.
She wanted him to rember this day when she married ng Shu because of him.
This wedding would be reported in the news.
Which ans that even decades later, when people ntion President Song, they would certainly associate it with the wedding held at Tan Palace.
She wanted to bind the na Kang Yunxi with Song Baiyan, even if it was through this manner.
— She wanted the newspapers across the nation to capture her beauty on that day.
However, the Xiuhe dress was now missing.
Kang Yunxi didn’t pay attention to the wedding dress; she looked directly at the manager: "Didn’t you say over the phone this morning that it had been transferred from Shangbu to the capital?"
Manager: "..."
She didn’t dare to say that the Xiuhe dress had been detained at Tan Palace.
Detained personally by Your Highness.
Given Your Highness’s attitude, it didn’t seem like it was intended for the bride.
Recalling the girl trying on the Xiuhe dress in the Tan Palace living room, the manager later recognized her as the current popular entertainnt star, seemingly surnad Tang.
Captain Song was speaking intimately with her, looking very much like family.
But there were so things she dared not speculate wildly on.
As she left with her team, she decided to keep what she saw and heard at Tan Palace to herself.
The manager had anticipated the bride’s complaint on her way here.
So, she quickly explained: "The embroidered beads on the edge of that traditional wedding dress’s sleeve were accidentally torn by an employee and must be returned to the factory for the embroidery workers to fix, but with only ten days left until the wedding, it probably won’t make it in ti."
The two wedding dresses Song Ru picked were also of the latest designs this year.
Yet, Kang Yunxi didn’t even glance at them.
She only said, "Then subsidize the embroiderers’ overti fees to get it done."
The manager looked troubled.
"This, I’m afraid isn’t possible."
If the issue was fixing a sleeve, then it could still make it.
The problem is, it requires redoing the entire thing from head to toe by hand.
Even if the embroiderers worked overti, the headpiece might not be finished by mid-month.
"Actually, there’s another set of Xiuhe dress."
The manager took out a tablet from her bag, swiped to a picture, and handed it to Kang Yunxi: "This Xiuhe dress is also designed by the sa creator, mainly in soft pink, using silver threads, more graceful and elegant, most suitable for wearing when serving tea to the elders."
Kang Yunxi remained silent.
She wanted to wear the Xiuhe dress as a unique sight at the wedding.
Not to showcase her virtue by kneeling before the ng Family.
"By the way," the manager continued, "there’s a wedding dress that Your Highness praised quite a lot."
Kang Yunxi imdiately turned her head: "Which one?"
The manager swiped on the tablet, finally stopping at a picture: "It’s this one."
Kang Yunxi: "..."
It was a Barbie-pink off-shoulder wedding dress.
The bust and waist were adorned with golden tulips made of sequins.
The headpiece and earrings were also made of sequins.
This ensemble wasn’t unpleasant but far from dazzling.
If the bride had fair skin, it would still work.
Wearing this wedding dress, it could pass for ’stylish’.
But if soone had dark or yellow skin, it would be a visual disaster.
And Kang Yunxi happened to have yellow skin.
"Did Your Highness really say this wedding dress is beautiful?" After a long pause, Kang Yunxi spoke.
The manager nodded.
Even though she personally heard Your Highness say so, His Highness’s brother, that Second Master, kept clamoring to order one, repeatedly emphasizing that Your Highness liked this color sche.
With her understanding of n, Barbie pink is indeed quite popular.
"This wedding dress is available in stock in the capital." The manager also noted the bride’s attention to wedding attire and specifically inford her: "It’s part of the True Love series, worn by models in this spring’s show, and there’s only one in the world."
"If you’re worried about skin tone, you can apply so white powder all over at that ti."
Afraid the bride wouldn’t be satisfied, the manager was preparing to introduce a few more designs.
However, before she could speak, the tablet was handed back: "Let’s go with this one."
And the bride added: "As for the stylist, I want Bo Ji."
Besides helping with the wedding dress trial, Tang Li didn’t intervene much in Kang Yunxi’s wedding.
Wanting to hold the wedding at Tan Palace, Tang Li guessed her intentions, which were nothing more than wanting a grand marriage, probably due to an overly confident self-assessnt.
Since Song Baiyan had agreed, Tang Li didn’t oppose further.
Big shots have their considerations for their actions.
And she was also soone destined for great things.
If one only focused on bits of romance, their vision would be too narrow.
Despite being busy with wedding preparations, Kang Yunxi still participated in the weekend’s recording of "Our Little Bear Child".
This ti, the protector ng Shu didn’t tag along.
Song Jingtian held an umbrella with a corgi pattern and, under the turned-away cara, whispered to Tang Li: "Once she marries ng Shu, the ng Family’s involvent in the major copper mine acquisition in Peru will probably conclude, and by then, S country’s copper production will rank among the world’s top five."
Tang Li turned her head to look at him.
The little guy placed the umbrella handle on his shoulder, "This marriage is ant to solidify the Song and ng Families’ relationship, once the wedding ends, the ng Family’s mining stocks will surely soar, benefiting the Song Family as well."
"Did you sneak off to the office to eavesdrop again?"
Tang Li hit the nail on the head.
Song Jingtian: "..."
Not only did he fail to mystify but he also got exposed; the little guy rolled his eyes.
Unwilling to be underestimated by Tang Li, he straightened his back: "It’s not so secret, how could big brother possibly do a losing deal, hosting the wedding at Tan Palace, the ng Family couldn’t be more delighted, big brother personally matchmaking, making those heirs of the Beijing Circle envious."
In such a scenario—
Kang Yunxi marrying ng Shu amounted to a diplomatic marriage.
Whether they’re happy after marriage becos less significant.
In this episode, Kang Yunxi didn’t approach Song Jingtian.
The day after filming ended, while Tang Li was packing, the little girl nad Annie ca to find Song Jingtian, but the little guy appeared indifferent, not particularly wanting to play with her.
"For you!" Before leaving, Annie handed Song Jingtian a small doll.
It was a handcrafted little tiger.
With a naive face.
On the way to the airport, Tang Li found the little guy playing with a tiger doll; upon learning it was from Kang Yunxi’s ’daughter’, she reached out for it.
Watching Tang Li examine the little tiger, Song Jingtian leaned closer: "Could this be a listening device?"
Tang Li: "..."
"You’re overthinking it." She handed the doll back to Song Jingtian: "Hold onto it yourself."
