Chapter 218: Trying on New Clothes

Sui Sui had just been carried back by Xiang Gugu and was about to lie down.

She was still a bit dazed at this moment.

She has a name now?

The words kept echoing in her mind.

No longer just Sui Sui being called Sui Sui, but now she has a very formal name.

Feng Mingxi.

Although she didn't understand it, she didn't know how to write it.

But it sounded beautiful the moment she heard it.

And the surname is Feng.

The same Feng as her brother Feng Xuanrui.

They are siblings, full siblings, and now even their surnames match.

Sui Sui grew happier the more she thought about it.

Although she didn't understand what a title meant, Xiang Gugu kept murmuring, "Princess, we now have a proper status; this is truly wonderful!"

……

Sui Sui didn't grasp the title thing, but she knew she now had a name.

That was something to be happy about.

The child lay on the bed, unable to sleep, turning left, then right.

Hehe.

Haha.

Hehehaha.

She has a name now!

Sui Sui thought and thought until she couldn't help it, then hugged the blanket and laughed foolishly.

Xiang Gugu watched from the side, gently shaking her head with affection, and didn't stop the work in her hands.

What happened yesterday, the Princess Consort didn't blame her, but Xiang Gugu felt very guilty.

She rummaged through her belongings and found a decent piece of fabric, but wasn't in a hurry to make a full garment for Sui Sui; the cloth was small and insufficient for a whole outfit.

However, making a small hat and a cute shoulder bag would be roughly enough.

At worst, the small hat could be boldly made with dual‑tone colors.

Last night, while caring for the sick Sui Sui, Xiang Gugu didn't have time to prepare more.

Now that Sui Sui has recovered, Xiang Gugu took a charcoal pencil and began drawing the pattern.

After finishing the drawing, she would transfer it onto the fabric, then start sewing.

While Xiang Gugu was thinking, Princess Consort of Qi came over, smiling, "Auntie, quickly pick up Sui Sui; the outer clothes are off, only the inner garment remains. JinXiuFang has finished part of the outfit and sent it over; let's have Sui Sui try it on and see if it fits."

Since they came, there is a tailor.

If the size is off or the host family isn't satisfied, it can be altered on the spot.

Upon hearing that the new clothes had finally arrived, Xiang Gugu responded happily, quickly cleaned her hands, and then prepared Sui Sui.

JinXiuFang has rushed out three sets of spring attire and one set of summer attire this time; the rest are still in production.

Besides the garments, there are also some small items like shoes.

These items come as accessories matching the clothes.

At this moment, the items were delivered by JinXiuFang staff; Princess Consort of Qi took them to the backyard, letting them wait at the gate, and only brought one embroiderer inside first to check the fit of the clothes.

Sui Sui, bewildered, was helped up by Xiang Gugu, given a quick tidy, and then stood obediently wearing a light teal inner garment.

After the embroiderer came in, she personally dressed Sui Sui.

The first set was a water‑pink short jacket paired with a cyan‑white embroidered skirt.

The cyan‑white was slightly heavier in tone than the water‑pink; the gradient from light to dark creates a visual impact.

The delicate colors looked lively and bright on a child.

Princess Consort of Qi liked it as soon as she saw it, wishing she could rush back to the storeroom now, search for similar colors, take them all out, and make clothes for Sui Sui.

Prince Qi watched the little girl in her new, dazzling, colorful outfit, couldn't help nodding and laughing, "It's still our Sui Sui. Look how beautiful she looks. If she were a bit plumper, it'd be better; she seems a little thin, afraid she'll be bullied."

Sui Sui is still a child; when adults can't keep an eye on her, she can easily be bullied by other kids.

Children, as a kind of creature, sometimes don't understand hierarchies of power.

So, if they're not careful and get bullied, what to do?

Thinking of that possibility, Prince Qi's expression darkened.

He thought it over and finally decided: anyone who dares to come, he'll personally beat them up!

Hmph!

Those who dare bully his girl.

He'd beat them so badly they'd be looking for teeth on the ground!

Prince Qi thought he must let everyone know that no one in his Residence is easy to provoke.

Anyway, he's done plenty of shady deeds over the years, and this isn't any different!

But first, he needs to practice his fists and feet, lest he can't beat them later and embarrass himself!

The light, fresh garments, when worn by a child, are already full of spirit.

Sui Sui's eyes are especially beautiful.

Prince Qi can't bear for the child to remove this outfit.

But there are still two sets left untried.

This made him gesture to Xiang Gugu reluctantly: 'Take off that outfit.'

After receiving the order, Xiang Gugu quickly returned the salute, then turned and pulled down the curtain to change Sui Sui's clothes.

However, even if she didn't pull the curtain, Prince Qi would still turn away politely.

Even though Sui Sui was still a child, Prince Qi paid close attention.

He felt that he must let Sui Sui know from a young age that men and women are distinct, and cannot let a brat take advantage.

No one is allowed!!!

Soon, Sui Sui changed into a new outfit.

The lotus‑hued short jacket paired with a yellow‑embroidered skirt made the colour look heavier than before, yet also more formal and dignified, very suitable for formal occasions.

Prince Qi heard the princess consort softly say: 'That's enough.'

He hurriedly turned around, and facing him was the little girl's excited little face.

Sui Sui was indeed happy.

She has a new outfit!

It's different in meaning from the ready‑made clothes bought before.

This was made after carefully measuring her size, with the tailor and embroiderer working together, hand‑crafted especially for her, a unique outfit just for her!

This made Sui Sui extremely excited.

She stood on the bed, turning around nonstop, while glancing timidly toward the mother consort, her eyes seemingly saying: 'Mother consort, do I look good?'

The princess consort of Qi wore an expression of appreciation, unable to move her eyes away from Sui Sui.

She thought, 'Her child truly is the best‑looking in the whole Jing Cheng!'

This outfit on Sui Sui is simply perfect!

The princess consort of Qi's praise was not only in her expression but also in her words.

She smiled and praised her at length, each sentence full of appreciation and each sentence utterly sincere.

Prince Qi, watching from the side, felt a bit anxious, afraid of being outshone, and began to praise Sui Sui using his own poor‑student knowledge.

Being praised together by the mother consort and the father king, Sui Sui blushed embarrassed and became shy and fidgety.

If it were someone else, Prince Qi might still say: 'Not grand enough.'

But if it were his lover,

Prince Qi only wanted to say: 'His Sui Sui is the best in all Jing Cheng, no objections allowed.'

Others think it's wrong, not allowed—it's just that their eyesight is bad!

The second watch is at 19:00.
