Chapter 303, which piece of embroidery is the best
I originally thought it was a very simple thing, but I didn't expect that Yu Xijiao actually took it online.
"Father, do you think what I said is true?" Yu Xijiao asked with a smile after finishing speaking.
The waiter was anxious and anxious, but couldn't say the word "no", so he could only step back to the side and gritted his teeth: "Miss Yu is absolutely right."
"Then I'll go see the Queen first." Yu Xi said softly.
"Miss Yu, please." The servant wiped his sweat. He didn't expect that the third girl from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion would be so powerful. She first pinched herself, and then the prince.
There was nothing wrong with her words, but it made him worry about his prince.
Seeing Yu Xijiao leaving, the waiter quickly ran back and returned to Feng Lanxiu's office, panting.
"Your Highness." The chamberlain wiped his sweat.
Feng Lanxiu was sitting in front of the window, holding a book and flipping through it casually. Hearing the movement, he casually asked: "Is someone here?"
"Your Highness, Miss Yu is not here," the chamberlain reported.
"Not coming?" Feng Lanxiu stopped turning the book, raised his head with displeasure in his eyes, "Why didn't she... come?"
The chamberlain then repeated what Yu Xijiao said before, exactly as it was. After finishing speaking, the chamberlain knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the Queen will blame you."
"I was just checking up on Miss Yu. How could I be wrong?" Feng Lanxiu waved his sleeves and said coldly. He didn't expect Yu Xi to be so difficult to deal with at such a young age.
In the past, Yu Yuxi often said bad things about Yu Xijiao in front of him. Now it seems to be true. She is indeed a very capable person. No wonder she just returned to Beijing for a few days and made the Xuanping Marquis Mansion so unsettling.
Mrs. Hou has suffered from bad luck and is sick, and is still lying in bed recovering from her illness.
He just sent someone to take Yu Xijiao with him, just to teach her a lesson.
Today is different from the past. All the daughters of the aristocratic families who attended the banquet knew that this was the Queen. She chose the concubine for the two princes by appreciating the lotus. No matter who it was, they would secretly come to see Feng Lanxiu and Feng Yi'an at this time.
What a good reputation. A person who secretly admires the prince and blocks the prince from talking in a quiet and uninhabited place will make her reputation miserable.
At that time, what fate will happen to Yu Xijiao depends entirely on Feng Lanxiu.
Feng Lanxiu felt a little guilty about Yu Yuxi's matter. He had sincerely wanted to marry Yu Yuxi as his concubine, and the two of them had formed a friendship early on.
Since Yu Yuxi can't be given the position of the royal concubine, he should vent her anger. Since Yu Yuxi doesn't like Yu Xijiao, and the cause of this incident is Yu Xijiao, Feng Lanxiu feels that Yu Yuxi's bad breath can be caused by Yu Xi.
On the delicate body.
As long as Yu Yuxi is allowed to vent her anger, it doesn't matter if she has one more person in her house.
"But...but Miss Yu said...that she would tell the Queen, Your Highness, will there be any...what's wrong with this?" the chamberlain stammered.
Feng Lanxiu raised his head and looked at the chamberlain with cold eyes.
The chamberlain said in a panic: "Miss Yu said that this matter has been reported to the Empress. If Your Highness asks again, it may not be appropriate."
The waiter was very uneasy, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became.
Feng Lanxiu's face darkened: "No problem!"
"Then Your Highness... do you want to see Miss Yu San later?" the chamberlain asked cautiously.
"Gone." Feng Lanxiu said with waning spirits.
When Yu Xijiao went up to the attic, Minglan saw her from a distance and asked the maid next to her to come over and guide Yu Xijiao.
When walking towards Minglan, Yu Xijiao searched carefully, and finally saw Yu Lanxue's figure in the corner. That was the corner. Yu Lanxue was sitting there in the corner, looking at her.
He happened to look over, and when they met, Yu Lanxue suddenly smiled gloomily at Yu Xijiao.
Even though she was far away, Yu Xijiao could still see the malice in Yu Lanxue's eyes.
Yu Xijiao also smiled, with a slight curl of the corners of her lips. The smile did not reach her eyes, and the mockery in her eyes was obvious. Then she slowly withdrew her gaze and no longer paid attention to Yu Lanxue.
No matter what Yu Lanxue's plan is, as long as she is still in the palace, this meeting will inevitably happen. The Queen will come over. Except for Yu Yuxi who leaves the palace, there will be no reason for anyone to be absent...
It happened that Yu Xijiao and Minglan were sitting together. There were either family members of high-ranking officials or princesses at the table. There were not many people at the table.
The empty seat next to Yu Xijiao belongs to Yu Yuxi.
"Is Miss Yu okay?" Minglan asked with concern.
"Second sister has gone back and saw no one." Yu Xijiao shook her head.
"I heard... your second sister may not really become Princess Duan this time." Minglan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so she whispered into Yu Xijiao's ear.
No matter how you look at this matter, Yu Yuxi was framed.
"I don't know about this matter. I just returned to the capital." Yu Xi said softly.
"That's right, you just arrived in the capital, so you don't know what's going on here." Minglan was about to elaborate when she suddenly heard the voice of a chamberlain coming from outside: "The Queen is here!"
Everyone stood up and knelt down.
The Queen went upstairs with several concubines and King Yong and King Zhongshan.
Everyone shouted together: "If I can see the Queen, she will live a thousand years."
The queen smiled gracefully, and with the service of the palace maids, she sat on the throne in the middle. On both sides sat several concubines, King Yong and King Zhongshan.
"I'm free of charge! Give me a seat!" The queen raised her hand.
Everyone stood up and sat down again.
The Queen smiled as she looked at the offer of a daughter of an aristocratic family. She was fat and thin, and had all kinds of things.
"The lotus flowers are in full bloom today. I invite you all to enjoy the flowers together and prepare various pastries related to lotus food and lotus leaves. Looking at you young girls, I feel happy. Don't be too restrained. If
In this case, it would be meaningless."
"The empress is so kind that she specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some secret pastries. I can't wait." The concubine sitting on the left side of the empress obviously has a very good relationship with the empress. After hearing what the empress said, she had already taken it with a smile.
He pressed the handkerchief on the corner of his lips for fun.
"You, it's not like you are missing, you have to fight with some girls here." The queen said with a smile.
"Queen, don't just love the young girls, but also love me. I am actually still young." The imperial concubine said with a smile.
The queen pointed at her and said, "Are you embarrassed to compete with a young lady for food?"
"The Queen, why are you so embarrassed? The Queen has prepared so many delicious foods. If I don't grab some, I will die." The concubine said in greeting.
These words amused the Queen, "You are so talkative."
"It's because the Empress is so kind that I dare to talk nonsense." The imperial concubine said with a smile, rolling her eyes, "Empress, I heard that the rich ladies of the aristocratic families brought embroidery here today, why don't I open my eyes first?
Let me have a good meal again. I didn’t even eat the secret cakes I prepared for the Queen.”
These words made the concubines nearby happy.
"Okay, since you are eager to see the embroidery prepared by the daughter of the aristocratic family, let them present it first!" After the Queen smiled, she nodded with a smile.
When the embroidery came into the palace, it had already been delivered to the queen's palace attendants. Now it is displayed one by one, and each one looks unusual and outstanding.
Yu Xijiao's embroidery is not the best. Among the embroidery pieces, the lotus leaves are just suitable for the scenery, and they are not the best. The embroidery she chose at the beginning had the same meaning, and she did not want to be too showy.
.
She didn't want to show off her embroidery at today's banquet. The ones who wanted to show off the most were Yu Yuxi and Yu Lanxue. Yu Xijiao didn't know what embroidery Yu Yuxi used, but Yu Xijiao could guess Yu Lanxue's embroidery.
Whose is it used for?
Among the girls in the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, Yu Lanxue's embroidery skills are not the best, and Yu Lanxue desperately needs a good name to enter the palace. The best way is to use the Queen's flower appreciation
The banquet made her famous and restored her previous bad reputation. If it had been before, Yu Lanxue might not have valued the flower-viewing banquet so much, and had not even thought of attending the flower-viewing banquet.
Ning gave the post about the flower viewing banquet to herself, which meant that Yu Lanxue did not want to be in the limelight.
But it's different now. Yu Lanyan's reputation has been tarnished, Ning's family has been arrested again, and there are vague rumors about Yu Lanxue's breakup. Now Yu Lanxue desperately needs a good reputation, so she specially asked for another poster.
The entry of a child into the palace shows her eagerness and determination to win.
As for the rake, I was thinking of killing two birds with one stone, but I didn't expect that I ended up losing a handful of rice.
Next is the matter of this embroidery...
After what happened just now, Yu Lanxue may not be willing to be in the limelight anymore, but the embroidery has been taken away long ago, and even if Yu Lanxue wants to regret it, it is too late.
Several concubines looked at each piece of embroidery, and finally selected three pieces and placed them in front of the Queen.
"Empress, look at this piece of peony, it is the most beautiful time when it blooms, and the stamens on it look very beautiful." A palace concubine looked at this peony embroidery and praised, "I have never seen this before.
I have seen such brilliant peony embroidery pictures, but I didn’t expect that there is a girl who can do such good embroidery among the wealthy family.”
"What you do is nothing, what I do is good. This red plum blossom reflected in the snow is really beautiful. Looking at this picture of red plum blossom reflected in the snow, it's like really seeing a plum forest in winter." Another person said.
A palace concubine pointed to an embroidery on the right with disapproval and said, "Queen, I think this one is the best."
"Although plum blossoms are good, they are not as outstanding as peonies." The previous concubine said disapprovingly.
Seeing the two concubines arguing endlessly and each having his own opinions, the Queen smiled and said to the other concubine who had not spoken for a long time: "Come and see, you are from a famous embroidery family in the south of the Yangtze River. You know embroidery best."
Whether the product is good or bad, I specially invited you here this time to help me control it."
"Empress, I think this one is the best." This concubine comes from a family of Jiangnan embroidery, and her embroidery is the best in the palace. In terms of the quality of the embroidery, her words are indeed the most authoritative.
When they saw that the painting she pointed at was the one among the three just now, the two people who had been arguing stopped talking.
"Tell me, what's so good about it?" the queen asked with a smile.
