Chapter 126: Chapter 122: Recognition

Lin Wan’er spent the entire afternoon at Yanyu Pavilion choosing her wedding dress. At one moment, she found this design distinctive, and at another, she thought that design was more novel. She sifted through so many options that her eyes became dazzled, and the catalog of Yanyu Pavilion was nearly turned to tatters.

The nanny from the Duke Mansion watched her behaving like someone who had never seen the world, harboring contempt for her deep in her heart.

Lin Wan’er’s gaze fell upon another catalog, adorned with golden threads. She silently gestured: May I take a look at that one?

That catalog had a different price tier. Since she was not a direct descendant of the Duke Mansion, did she truly think the estate would spend a fortune on an exorbitantly expensive wedding dress for her?

The nanny from the Duke Mansion said, "Miss Lin, your wedding date is approaching. Complicated wedding dresses can no longer be crafted in time. Perhaps we could switch to another embroidery house and enlist more embroiderers for the task."

Upon hearing about switching embroidery houses, Lin Wan’er immediately dismissed the idea.

The young ladies of prominent families in the Capital City took pride in wearing wedding dresses from Yanyu Pavilion. Her wedding dress had to come from Yanyu Pavilion.

Ultimately, only the continued urging of the Duke Mansion’s nanny, who needed to return before sunset to report, made Lin Wan’er finally decide. She chose the first design.

The personal disciple of the Pavilion’s master, surnamed Wu, arrived to converse briefly with Lin Wan’er. Lin Wan’er’s demands seemed endless—stunning, imposing, exceedingly luxurious, and so forth.

"Chun’er, write down what Miss Lin mentioned and inform me later. Miss Lin, I have other clients to attend to—I’ll excuse myself for now. Chun’er will assist with the measurements shortly."

Wu the embroiderer smiled warmly and then exited the private room.

Lin Wan’er hesitated to speak.

She hadn’t finished explaining.

It wasn’t until the embroidery house was about to close its doors to customers that Lin Wan’er finally left reluctantly.

She bit her lip, as though she felt she had forgotten something to clarify...

At that moment, an elegant horse-drawn carriage emitting a faint, refined fragrance stopped at the entrance of the embroidery house. A woman dressed in green gracefully alighted from the carriage.

Her beauty wasn’t particularly stunning, but her serene and cool temperament was like a refreshing breeze. Her slender, jade-like hands resembled those of a celestial being.

Lin Wan’er was stunned.

"Master!"

Wu the embroiderer, along with several other top-ranking embroiderers, collectively stepped outside to greet her.

Lin Wan’er was utterly shocked. She was the master of Yanyu Pavilion?

When Lin Wan’er had seen Wu the embroiderer, she was already captivated by her aura of refinement. But the master of Yanyu Pavilion surpassed even this, leaving her speechless.

Yun Xiyao entered Yanyu Pavilion and ascended to the third floor.

The third floor was reserved solely for her. When she wasn’t present, her disciples would sweep it daily to ensure it remained spotless.

Wu the embroiderer presented refreshments. "Master, why were you gone for so long today?"

Yun Xiyao lifted her teacup. "I waited for two hours."

Wu the embroiderer was startled. "Who is this guest that dared to make Master wait for two hours?"

Yun Xiyao’s face showed no hint of displeasure.

Wu the embroiderer was even more astonished. She knew her master’s temperament well—any client who dared make her wait even briefly would lose their business with her.

Yet, her master had waited a full two hours and returned without anger.

She respectfully asked, "Master, which design did she choose, and what fabric did she pick? Let me cut the cloth."

"I’ll do it myself."

Yun Xiyao replied.

If Wu the embroiderer had previously only been surprised, now she was utterly speechless.

As Yanyu Pavilion’s reputation grew, every skilled embroiderer had taken on several apprentices. The routine tasks of cutting fabric and sewing were delegated to the apprentices, leaving the masters to handle only the embroidery themselves.

Lin Wan’er’s wedding dress was handled similarly.

Yun Xiyao declared, "I’m going to start making the wedding dress now. For the next month, no one is to disturb me."

Upon descending the stairs, the embroiderers gathered around, questioning Wu the embroiderer. When they heard that their master intended to personally craft the dress from start to finish, their reactions matched Wu’s astonishment.

"Previously, when she made outfits for Princess Wanping, Master only handled the design and embroidery."

One embroiderer remarked.

Tasks like cutting and stitching had always been divided among them to lighten the master’s burden.

She continued to ask, "Who is this client whose status surpasses Princess Wanping’s?"

Wu the embroiderer shook her head. "Master didn’t say, nor did she ask for the catalog."

Another embroiderer chimed in, "The designs in the catalog were all created by Master herself. Naturally, she wouldn’t need it. But if Master plans to isolate herself for an entire month, it looks like she’s about to unveil another ’masterpiece.’"

Upon hearing this, excitement surged among everyone.

Everyone remembered the commotion caused by the Feathered Robe years ago that had captivated the entire Capital City—its renown lingered to this day.

What surprise would their master bring this time?

Night fell, the city silent.

Meng Qianqian retired for the night.

She had spent the day outside for quite some time and was truly exhausted, skipping even her usual habit of reading her storybooks.
