Shen Chuwei looked at the fabrics on the table, noting the subtle patterns that likely indicated their value. There were understated and vibrant colors, all of which were attractive.
She picked out a few fabrics with nice colors and said, "This golden yellow is very flattering to the skin, and so are the turquoise and moon white. They all look quite nice to me."
The Empress watched as Shen Chuwei selected several colors of fabric and was very pleased, generously complimenting her, "Your eye for color is really good. I've been looking for so long and haven't found any fabric that really caught my fancy."
Shen Chuwei, feeling the fabrics, said, "The Empress' taste is also very good; the materials are all quite comfortable."
The Empress, with a smile in her eyes, said, "The baby's skin is delicate. Shu brocade is the best material for him. Later on, we can also make some little shoes."
