Is 238 too much?

"Put this here, and this there."

"Higher...higher still."

The servants of the Chu family were decorating the courtyard with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a lively and bustling scene.

Since it was a royal ceremony to welcome a prince into the family, and Chu Qingluo had been promoted to the first rank, it was a double celebration. Therefore, Chu's mother instructed that the ceremony be made grand to show the Chu family's respect for the Empress.

Meanwhile, Chu Qingluo was in her room, sewing something with needle and thread.

"Qingluo." Wuyang specially brought her some things and handed them to her, saying, "Is this enough?"

Chu Qingluo looked up and laughed, "That's enough, that's enough." She reached into the bamboo basket in Wu Yang's hand and grabbed a large handful of cotton, then stuffed it into the pillowcase she was sewing. "Wu Yang, this cotton is a real lifesaver! Just a little bit more and this pillow will be full." As she spoke, she sewed up the last seam.

Watching her nimble fingers deftly weave through the needle and thread, Wu Yang couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you already teach Ling Nan how to make headrests? Why is Qing Luo doing it herself?"

“This is different, I have to make this myself.” After Chu Qingluo finished speaking, she asked Wuyang to sit down next to her and said, “Recently, the new house has also been busy with the mass production of pillows. You’ve really worked hard.”

Ever since Chu Qingluo told Wuyang about her plans for the future, Wuyang has been thinking about it constantly. He had long wanted to resign from his position as a flute player in the palace so that he could focus on assisting Chu Qingluo and then start a teaching business in the new residence.

However, some time ago, Chu Qingluo had an accident in the palace, so he put his idea aside. Only after Chu Qingluo returned safely was he finally able to resign from his post with Lord Yu Yi and completely get rid of the treacherous palace.

"It's not hard work," Wu Yang said. "The new house has already added a lot of manpower. I'm just watching from the sidelines, and I can't really help much."

“No way, Lingnan isn’t free right now either. If you’re the only one taking care of things there, it’ll be a mess.” Chu Qingluo said, without stopping her work. “You can just find someone to run the errand for delivering the cotton. You don’t need to make the trip yourself; it’s too much work.”

“…I just came back to pick up some things.” Wu Yang smiled and, seeing that Chu Qingluo was still busy, said, “Then Qingluo, you go ahead and do your work. I’ll head back to the new house now.”

Chu Qinglu smiled sweetly at him: "Okay, thank you."

Watching Wu Yang's retreating figure step out of the room, Chu Qingluo sighed softly. She wondered if letting him into the Chu family had ultimately helped or harmed him.

Now we can only take it one step at a time. I just hope time can slow down and not really waste his precious time...

After sewing the last stitch, Chu Qingluo patted the cotton in the pillow evenly with her hand, then examined it herself... and thought it was good. Only then did she pick it up and leave the room.

She passed through several rooms and arrived at Gongsun Yu's room. She took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and went inside... Everything inside was still as clean and tidy as before; the table, the floor, and even the books on the wooden shelf were spotless. The jade pen she had given Gongsun Yu was also quietly placed in the most conspicuous position on his desk.

She came to the bedside, sat down, and arranged the cotton pillows. "Gongsun, this is the first 'Forget-Worry Pillow' I made myself. I will definitely fulfill our original dream, and one day, the whole Ji Kingdom will know the name of the Forget-Worry Pillow and the Famous Clothing Workshop."

Chu Qingluo gently placed her hand on the soft Forget-Worry Pillow, and smiled slightly: "Forget-Worry, forget-worry, may you, Gongsun, be free from worries forever."

"Miss—, Miss—."

"Where do you think this young lady is hiding?"

Hearing the hurried voices of Nine-Tailed Fox and Kirito outside the door, Chu Qingluo got up and opened the door. "What's the matter that you're in such a hurry to see me?"

As soon as Jiuwei saw Chu Qingluo, she immediately pulled her into her room. "Lingnan just delivered the new clothes and said you should try them on, Miss."

"Ah—, this matter."

A grand initiation ceremony naturally requires magnificent new clothes, but I never expected that Ryonan would be so close to becoming a god that the new clothes were made in just four days.

"The new dress that Ryonan made for Miss is so beautiful! I feel that the princesses' clothes might not even be as nice as this new dress." After saying that, Kurama asked Kirito for confirmation, "Don't you think so?"

Seeing that Chu Qingluo was also looking at him, Tongmu quickly nodded: "That's right, Miss, Nine-Tailed Fox didn't exaggerate at all this time."

"Is it really that amazing?" Chu Qingluo couldn't help but become curious.

"I guarantee you'll like it, Miss!" Nine-Tails was quite certain.

Speaking of which, Ryonan was fully responsible for the design and production of this new outfit. If it really looks as good as Kurama and Kirito said, then Ryonan's design skills have truly surpassed theirs.

Upon entering the room, the first thing that catches the eye is that fiery red long dress. The overlapping off-shoulder vest is densely inlaid with beaded flowers, and beneath the exquisite embroidery of the strapless dress underneath are layers of flowing gauze. The most ingenious part is that several exquisite pure gold butterflies are sewn onto the delicate edges of the gauze dress, lifelike and exquisite.

That wasn't all. Beside her dress were a pure gold headdress with a hundred flowers, specially made for her by Chu's mother, as well as various earrings, bracelets, and so on...

"This..." Chu Qinglu stared dumbfounded at the red dress in front of her, and after a long while she finally said, "Isn't this a bit too formal?"

Isn't the traditional wedding ceremony for men in Ji Kingdom always simple? If she were to wear this flamboyant holy robe to greet Ji Qiran... it would practically turn into her being the one getting married.

At this moment, Chu's mother also walked in. "What's so grand about it? When the Seventh Prince sent his wedding gifts, he made it very clear that he would definitely 'dress up' for the occasion. We can't just deal with it casually."

To show her praise and high regard for Chu Qingluo, the Empress prepared an exceptionally generous gift for Ji Qiran upon his arrival. The courtyard of Ningxiang Courtyard was almost too large to hold all the gift chests. The scale of the gift preparation was entirely based on the gift list for marriage alliances with other countries.

Having received such a valuable gift, Chu's mother was naturally even more embarrassed to simplify the entry process and could only focus on making the ceremony as grand as possible.

"..." Chu Qingluo gasped and asked, "If I were to appear dressed in such a bright red outfit, and he were dressed in blue or purple, wouldn't that look very mismatched?"

It's absolutely blinding...

"Do you think your mother is stupid?" Chu's mother smiled confidently. "The Seventh Prince also said that he has prepared a red outfit, which will be very festive, so I asked Lingnan to make your new clothes in red as well."

“…Alright, Mother is the wisest.” Chu Qingluo gave her mother two thumbs up.

Ji Qiran really knows how to arrange things for himself. Now, his initiation ceremony has turned into a grand and solemn wedding ceremony.
