Chapter 74: Chapter 59 Empress, Don’t Step on It! (Request for Follow-up Reads)

During these few slack days, Chen Mo didn’t idle around; instead, he started sketching out the design drawings for the "Three Holy Artifacts."

——Black silk stockings, leather pants, thongs.

As they were called "Holy Artifacts," naturally, they weren’t that simple.

The black silk stockings came with suspenders, the leather pants came with zippers, and the thongs featured lace cut-outs.

However, the latter two designs were so shockingly unconventional that even as mere blueprints, Chen Mo didn’t dare show them off lightly.

He decided to first get the stockings in order.

As for the material, he would use the Thousand-Woven Cloud Brocade bestowed by the Empress.

One dark and windy night, just before the curfew, wrapped up from head to toe, and certain there was no risk of socially dying—

Chen Mo stepped into the most famous clothing shop in Tiandu City, Jinxiu Workshop.

Once he arrived, he discovered that this world was much more open than he had imagined.

All kinds of fancy underwear were dazzlingly on display—tube tops, underwear, belly bands... some of the clothing was even smaller than the size of a palm; it could only mean that the people of Great Yuan led very rich night lives.

Chen Mo handed over the design drawings to the shop owner and made his requests clear.

Brimming with confidence, the shop owner thumped his chest and told Chen Mo to return in three days for the finished product.

Indeed, the effect was extraordinary.

The Thousand-Woven Cloud Brocade came from Shu Prefecture, woven from Heavenly Silkworm Silk, lightweight, flexible, impervious to water and fire, carrying the reputation of "an inch of cloud brocade is an inch of gold."

After soaking in a special solution and undergoing a series of processes such as stretching and spinning, the perfect black silk socks, a holy product, were finally made!

...

Yu Youhan looked at the thin-as-cicada-wing fabric in her hands, her expression slightly hesitant.

"Are these silk stockings?"

Black material, faintly transparent, much longer than usual silk stockings.

They looked odd.

"This should be considered pantyhose, just pull them on your legs... or would you prefer me to help you put them on?" Chen Mo offered enthusiastically.

Yu Youhan glanced at him and said indifferently, "No need, mere socks, I can surely figure out how to wear them."

She took the black silk stockings and walked into the inner hall.

A quarter of an hour...

Two quarters of an hour...

Half an hour...

Just when Chen Mo thought Imperial Consort Yu had stood him up, a figure slowly emerged from behind the screen.

Chen Mo turned his head to look and was momentarily startled.

He saw that under the plain usual attire, exquisite feet wrapped in black silk stockings stepped on a gold-woven carpet, creating a unique visual impact.

Yu Youhan’s expression was a bit unnatural.

These stockings were indeed outrageous; it was one thing for them to cover the thighs, but to have straps tied around the waist too...

Did Chen Mo design this?

What did he think about all day?

But then again, the texture was nice, the fabric was very elastic and felt soft against the skin, quite comfortable to wear...

Yu Youhan came over and sat in the Consort’s Seat, shaking her head, "With two major cases pressing down, you still find the time to indulge in these strange crafty arts? You really go to great lengths."

Chen Mo spoke earnestly, "Time is like milk; squeeze and there will always be some. Besides, I’ve always been passionately devoted to artistic creation."

...

Yu Youhan fell silent for a moment.

After a short pause, she lifted her legs.

Understanding her hint, Chen Mo sat on the other end of the chair.

Yu Youhan rested her calf on his knee; the creamy soft double feet wrapped in black silk stockings were slightly sheer at the tip, hinting at her bright, clear toenails.

"The embroidered brocade given by the Empress, worn on Your Highness’ legs, could this not be considered a kind of luxu—"

Strange thoughts flashed through Chen Mo’s mind.

He reached out to touch, the material silky smooth, a starkly different sensation from the previous times.

Feeling the slightly tensed arch of her foot—

Was the Empress a bit nervous?

He looked up but saw Yu Youhan with an expressionless face, showing no signs of anything unusual.

His gaze dropped down, and through the gap of the skirt’s hem, he could see the long, straight black silk-clad legs, where the edges of the black silk were tight against the flesh, making the voluptuous and well-proportioned leg flesh press into a ring of depression.

The contrast between the black silk and white legs was distinct.

At the edge, there were two straps continuing upwards, leading to the unknowable...

Chen Mo suddenly realized an issue.

The other end of the strap had to be tied at the waist, which meant the underwear had to be worn on the outside, but underwear were generally long and would surely cover the straps.

However, what he saw at a glance just now had no obstruction whatsoever.

Could it be...

...

Yu Youhan felt a bit odd.

In the past, this dog-like lackey would’ve been incessantly groping, but today he was unusually well-behaved?

And the red thread on her wrist didn’t show any reaction either... Could it be that the desensitization treatment had an effect, and her tolerance had become stronger?

Yes, that must be it!

Yu Youhan’s lips slightly curved upwards with a hint of red.
