"Hmm?"
Hearing Wang Chao's resolute words, Exemplary Li and Mama Li were stunned.
Especially Mother Li, who was even more puzzled."Why are they not suitable? I specially went to the Imperial Cloth Pavilion to pick out these fabrics. They are all of the best quality and have exquisite patterns. Each inch costs one tael of silver! There can't be any problems."
A portion of the cloth produced by the Imperial Cloth Pavilion was sent to the Imperial Palace every month. The quality and craftsmanship were impeccable.
It was also because of this that the nobles and rich people in Bianjing liked to buy from this Imperial Cloth Pavilion.
But now, Wang Chao only took a simple glance and directly rejected it. This made Mother Li extremely puzzled.
Looking at the stunned expression on Mother Li's face, Wang Chao lightly smiled and said,""Mother Li, don't misunderstand. I'm not talking about these problems. I'm just saying that it's not suitable for Miss Shi Shi to wear in the Courtesan Belle Competition next month.”
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion.
Wang Chao explained," This time, the song I'm going to give Miss Shishi is called 'Blue and White Porcelain'. Therefore, if you want to achieve the best effect, it's best to use the blue color of the blue and white porcelain as the main color, supplemented by the lines, and make it look like a wide-sleeved fairy dress. This way, not only will it be more appropriate to play the song, but it will also highlight Miss Shishi's gentle temperament.”
Mrs. Li and Exemplary Li could understand the first part of what Wang Chao said.
However, the two of them were confused by what they heard.
"May I ask Young Master Wang, what style is the wide-sleeved fairy dress? Why have I never heard of it before?”Mrs. Li asked.
Upon hearing this, Wang Chao remembered that this wide-sleeved fairy dress was a female dress style that appeared in a movie called the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3 in his previous life. The people in this world did not know about it at all.
"Do you have any painters here?" Wang Chao asked after pondering for a while.”
Mother Li nodded." Yes, there are a few painters in my Wonder Immortal Lane. Every month, they will specially draw portraits of the women in the Wonder Immortal Lane and then make them into a booklet for those guests to choose from.”
Wang Chao nodded." How about this, you get the artist to come over. I'll dictate, and then he'll draw it. You'll know when he draws the style of the wide-sleeved fairy dress."”
Hearing this, Mother Li nodded her head, and then asked Qiao 'er to find the painter.
Following Qiao 'er out, a middle-aged woman in her forties quickly entered the room under Qiao' er's lead.
After quickly explaining the requirements, the female artist laid out a piece of white paper on the desk. Wang Chao first asked her to draw a portrait of Li Shishi, then pointed at the portrait from time to time for the female artist. The latter also followed Wang Chao's instructions and added something to the portrait.
After spending nearly an hour looking at the portrait, Wang Chao finally nodded in satisfaction.
The female artist looked at the situation in the painting with her eyes wide open in disbelief.""How is this dress possible? How can there be such a beautiful dress?"
Then, in the eyes of the few of them, the artist actually held the painting up as if he was looking at some precious treasure. His eyes were filled with intoxication.
Seeing this, Mother Li became suspicious and quickly called out a few times. However, after a few times, the female artist was still in a daze and could only look at the painting in her hand.
Li Shishi and Mrs. Li, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Immediately, the two of them could not suppress their curiosity and walked to the female artist's side to look at the portrait.
Both Mrs. Li and Exemplary Lee were stunned.
On the portrait, Li Shishi's figure and face were vividly displayed on the portrait. Even the slight smile on the corner of her mouth was outlined by the painter.
However, what shocked the two of them was the dress on the portrait.
The dress was light green in color and had some dark green patterns on it. It looked like blue and white porcelain. The cuffs and collar were also dotted with patterns.
The entire dress looked extremely gorgeous.
Li Shishi, who was already beautiful, wore a light and elegant wide-sleeved fairy dress in the painting. The blue dress rippled in the wind like cold dew, making her look extremely beautiful.
"This, this is the wide-sleeved fairy dress? How could there be such a dress in this world? Why had no one mentioned it before?”Looking at the gorgeous green dress in the portrait, Mrs. Li asked in shock.
Over the years, Mother Li had seen countless long dresses, but she had never seen such a gorgeous and beautiful long dress like the one in the painting. It could be said that any woman would definitely find it difficult to look away.
Not to mention Mrs. Li, even the calm and composed Li Shishi was stunned when she saw herself in the painting and the long dress. Her small mouth was slightly open to show her surprise.
Just a dress was enough to intimidate Li Shishi, Mother Li, and the female painter. If word got out, no one would believe it.
At this moment, Wang Chao was already sitting at the side, drinking tea to moisten his mouth as he said calmly,"This wide-sleeved fairy dress is said to be a treasure of the ancient palace. However, after that dynasty was destroyed, the wide-sleeved fairy dress disappeared and the style of the dress was lost. Ordinary people might not even have heard of it, let alone seen it.”
After finishing the tea in his cup, Wang Chao continued,"With this wide-sleeved fairy dress, Miss Shishi's temperament will be more obvious. Moreover, this dress is also suitable for the song that Miss Shishi plays. That's why I said that the previous ones don't suit Miss Shishi.”
Mother Li nodded heavily and said,"That's right. Putting everything else aside, just with this wide-sleeved flowing dress, once Shishi wears it, she'll probably be able to suppress others, let alone compete.”
As she spoke, Mrs. Li took a deep look at the portrait and forced her gaze away from the long dress that could make women go crazy. She turned her gaze to Wang Chao. The shock in Mrs. Li's heart was also strong and obvious.
