Just when she set her sights on Zhu Liangyuan, a concubine suddenly stood up: "Returning to Concubine Ye, Concubine Zhang asked the sisters to voluntarily participate in the competition and embroider an embroidery related to the Chinese Valentine's Day on the spot, and then let's see who can do it.
The best embroidery.
The one who embroiders the best will get a reward, and the one who embroiders the worst will have to thread all the needles on the big turntable."
Ye Fuxun looked at the concubine and saw that she was the beautiful woman she often saw in the garden during this period.
At this time, another concubine next to Lei Meiren also stood up: "First, when Concubine Zhang rated Zhu Liangyuan's embroidery skills as the lowest, she said that if Zhu Liangyuan was willing to play the piano, as long as she could play it better than Liu Meiren,
Then you can avoid the penalty of threading..."
Liu Meiren? Ye Fuxun followed the concubine's gaze and looked at Liu Meiren who was sitting next to Concubine Zhang.
She said who it was, it was Liu Meiren who had once treated Sister Zhu as a maid, but she found out and was demoted.
"Sister," Zhu Liangyuan looked gratefully at the two concubines who spoke for her, and said to Ye Fulun, "my sister has never been good at playing the piano, so she had no choice but to thread the needle. However, she is not convinced."
Ms. Zhang has a higher status than her. When the works of the ten people who participated in the embroidery competition were presented, Ms. Zhang chose her embroidery as the last one without even looking at it. Even if she argued, it would be useless.
Now that her sister feels sorry for her and comes to support her, she naturally cannot let her sister lose her momentum.
"My sister thinks that even if the embroidery she just made is not the best, it is definitely not the worst. I would like to ask my sister to take a closer look." Zhu Liangyuan secretly held the handkerchief tightly, sparks igniting in her eyes.
Ye Fuxun glanced at the crowd and said slowly, "I wonder if some of the embroidery pieces in the competition can be brought to me for appreciation."
Although Ye Fuxun and Concubine Zhang are both concubines, her rank is one level higher than that of Concubine Zhang. Even if Concubine Zhang was reluctant, she had to curl her lips and say, "Concubine Ye Fuxun has such a big air."
She said to her maid, "Hurry up and send the embroidery over to Concubine Ye for her appreciation!"
The concubines participating in the embroidery competition today are all the best at embroidery, and they had been allowed to practice a few days ago.
How could Zhu Liangyuan's embroidery skills be better than theirs?
Tsk! Besides, Concubine Ye is a person who knows nothing. I heard that she can't even make a knot, but she still evaluates the quality of embroidery?
If she can't come up with A, B, C or D in a while, see how she laughs at her!
Mrs. Zhang was thinking this, but she didn't notice the look of the maid next to her anxiously reminding her, so she only urged: "Hurry up and go!"
The maid had no choice but to retreat. After a while, pieces of embroidery were placed on a tray and presented.
Ye Fuxun looked at them one by one slowly: "Concubine Zhang, I wonder how the quality of this embroidery is judged?"
Mrs. Zhang picked her fingernails and said, "It was judged by me personally."
Ye Fuxun raised the corner of his mouth, causing Xiao Yu to whisper a few words, and then said: "I have never heard that Concubine Zhang is good at embroidery. Let Concubine Zhang judge her. I'm afraid she won't be able to convince everyone."
"How about this, I have people cover up the names on the embroidery, and let the sisters who have not participated in the competition vote to see who is the best and who is the last?"
"That won't work!" Ms. Zhang refused without thinking, "This event is the one the Crown Princess has given me to take full control of. The rules of the game set by me are for me to judge the merits. Even Concubine Ye is the
Even if you are a high-ranking official, you cannot break the rules casually!"
Ye Fuxun didn't find it strange that Mrs. Zhang was so messy. She twitched her lips and said: "So it's not that Sister Zhu is not good at embroidery, but that Concubine Zhang deliberately chose her to be the last one? Otherwise, why bother?
Stop me?"
"Wrong! I just think that Zhu Liangyuan's embroidery is the worst," Mrs. Zhang could possibly admit, "but Concubine Ye, this tea party is supposed to be happy and festive, but you insist on disturbing the sisters' interest by making such a fuss.
What’s on your mind!”
Ye Fuxun slowly pursed her lips, she was wrong.
I haven't had contact with Mrs. Zhang for so long that I almost forgot that she is an unreasonable person.
She's just being unreasonable, and she likes to bully concubines with lower status because of her high status, thinking that everyone's IQ is lower than hers.
To deal with unreasonable people, you can't outsmart them, you can only fight with your abilities.
Of course, before fighting hard, there are still some things to say.
"Concubine Zhang," Ye Fuxun looked at Mrs. Zhang slowly, half-smiling but not smiling, "As the concubine of the Prince's Palace, you should know that you are a role model for the other sisters. You should be conscious of being a role model in your words and deeds.
yes."
"Which of the sisters in the house is not a noble girl? No matter whether she is a famous girl in music, chess, calligraphy or painting, even if she is not proficient in it, she still knows how to appreciate it. Is that right, Concubine Zhang?"
Mrs. Zhang was silent for a moment, staring at Ye Fuxun closely. What did she mean by this?
Do you mean to say that her words and deeds cannot set an example for those concubines?
It’s funny! She is the queen’s niece, and since she was born, she has been at a level that those concubines can’t look up to!
Why wasn't she setting an example? Seeing that Mrs. Zhang's head was spinning, Ye Fuxun continued: "Since the embroidery competition at the tea party is in charge of Concubine Zhang, then it's okay to follow Concubine Zhang's rules.
It’s impossible.”
"I just said that if my piano skills are better than Liu Meiren's, there will be no need for needle threading, but is this so?"
Mrs. Zhang was still thinking about Ye Fuxun's words, and she always felt that it was not as simple as it sounded on the surface.
Suddenly hearing what Ye Fuxun said, he curled up his lips and sneered: "Zhu Liangyuan said herself that she can't compare to her piano skills, so I asked her to thread the needle. Is it possible that Concubine Ye wants to play the piano for Zhu Liangyuan?"
She was told that Ye Fuxun was not good at anything other than scaring people! He actually laughed at her for not being able to set an example. Could it be that she, Concubine Ye, could set an example?
Mrs. Zhang squeezed the cup and said with a flash of eyes: "Concubine Ye's rank is one level higher than mine, and she should be a role model for the younger sisters.
If Concubine Ye’s piano skills are better than those of Liu Meiren, not only will Zhu Liangyuan not need to thread the needles anymore, but Liu Meiren can also let Liu Meiren thread all the remaining needles, how about that?"
If you don't throw out some bait, Ye Fangfei will definitely not take the bait with her temperament as a fox thief!
Ye Fuxun raised his lips and smiled: "Then it's settled."
"Sister," Zhu Liangyuan pulled Ye Fuxun's sleeves worriedly. Ever since she moved to Mingyue Palace, she had rarely heard Ye Fuxun play the piano. She didn't want her to lose face for her, "It's just threading a needle, sister can do it."
Made it happen.”
Ye Fuxun shook his head at her: "Your embroidery is one of the best among the works just now. Concubine Zhang's eyesight is not good enough to distinguish. How can I let you be punished and hurt your hand?"
She took Zhu Liangyuan's hand and looked distressedly at the small blood spots poked by the needle. This was the precious hand that had made so many delicious snacks for her! Mrs. Zhang actually dared to hurt it!
