When they saw Xu Ling, they all agreed that the dress embroidered with pearls, gems, and emeralds was the most beautiful and the best reflection of her embroidery skill. She was worthy of being called Master Meng. No one in the whole of Zhejiang or in the whole country could find a second embroiderer as excellent as her.

But now, looking at the radiant Xu Qian, they finally understood what it meant to be refined and elegant like immortals. The style of her new dress was very simple, but it was just a slip skirt with a cross collar. The inner part was dark purple satin, and the outer part was pure white gauze. The inner part was heavy, and the outer part was thin. The two kinds of cloth overlapped together, and the thick color of the inner layer was faintly reflected through the half-transparent texture of the outer layer, giving a hazy and fresh feeling.

The match of two different materials and the faint color of each other was very ingenious, but the more wonderful thing was the embroidery of the outer shirt. The blooming wisteria flowers extended from the shoulder to the waist and then dropped from the waist to the hemline of the dress. One by one, strings, thick or light, hung down, full of color. The colorful flowers were beautiful enough, but what was even more unbelievable was that the bunch of wisteria flowers were not embroidered with silk but were cut into the shape of fingernail-sized petals with extremely thin silk fabric, and then sewed with needlework one by one.

The mixed color of light white and light purple dropped, and when it spread to the tip of the flower, spat out a thick purple. The color was so beautiful and natural. It was more accurate to say that it was a real wisteria flower blooming on a pure white cloth than an embroidery. They were blooming in full swing, but they didn't seem to be heavy burdens. On the contrary, because of their thin and transparent texture, they looked a little lighter.

A belt made of pure white chiffon was tied to her slim waist without any embroidery or embellishment. It was just in the shape of a bowknot and then fell naturally, making it more elegant. With her head down, Xu Qian walked up to the old madam and greeted her. A gust of autumn wind blew, lifting up her belt, and stirring up the thick or light wisteria flowers. The tasseled hairpin inserted at her temples shook slightly, flickering slightly, and looked somewhat naughty in elegance.

The eldest prince stared at her with burning eyes, but Xu Qian didn't even dare to raise her head. She stood in front of the jealous sisters and poured a cup of tea for Madam Xu.

Xu Ling, who was sitting next to Madam Xu, became her foil in an instant. Although peony was beautiful, it was just suitable for the rich. It was not as fresh and refined as the exotic fairy. The two of them stood at the same place. One of them was full of pearls and the other was full of fairy aura. The others could easily figure out which one was more beautiful without hesitation.

Xu Ling was so angry that her face was tilted. She could barely calm down after being pinched secretly by Madam Xu.

Old Madam looked back and forth at her granddaughters many times and sighed, "Your dress is so beautiful and ingenious. Did the Lin family embroiderer make it for you?"

"Exactly." Xu Qian said softly, "Last time when I went back to the temple, I saw the robe she made for Miss Du, so I booked this dress from her."

When the Buddhist Ceremony was held in the Faxing Temple, the news that the eldest prince was about to visit Xu Ling hadn't been spread yet. Xu Qian was telling Madam Xu in a disguised way that she had made this dress for a long time, not to steal the limelight of Xu family on purpose. Moreover, everyone was the daughter of the Xu family. The eldest prince falling in love with whoever would be ok. Strictly speaking, there was no difference between the di daughter and the shu daughter.
