Chapter four hundred and thirty-fifth, a branch is too thin
"Okay... okay, let's go!" The Queen Mother was very happy to see Zhang Wanyin and Yu Xijiao getting close, and nodded with a smile.
Yu Xijiao raised her eyes uneasily and looked at Feng Yu. Feng Yu waved his hand disapprovingly, and then Yu Xijiao stood up and left behind Zhang Wanyin.
The hall fell silent, and the smile on the Queen Mother's face gradually faded, and she asked her grandson: "What happened to the Prince of Zhongshan?"
There is news from the Queen, which is not very clear. It is the Crown Prince of Zhongshan and the Crown Prince of Qi. The Queen Mother has sent someone to inquire about the matter carefully.
"The wife of the Minister of Etiquette treated her first daughter-in-law harshly. She beat her so well that she was completely bruised. She was even driven into the palace to thank her for her kindness when she was seriously ill. Grandma, since the daughter of the Minister of Etiquette has been ill for so long, it's not even a day away.
Two days of greeting time, right?" Feng Yu said disapprovingly.
"How could such a thing happen?" The Queen Mother was surprised.
"Royal grandmother, why is there no such thing? This is the case for the Minister of Rites' Mansion, and the same is true for the Xuanping Hou Mansion? How much sincerity does this stepmother have towards her ex-wife's legitimate daughter?" Feng Yu said disapprovingly.
"Is this the case in the Xuanping Hou Mansion too?" The Queen Mother was surprised again, "Did Miss Yu say that?"
"Emperor Grandma, since my grandson is going to marry Miss Yu San, we have to see how she is doing and what else she needs to say." Feng Yu said lazily.
"Didn't I say that Mrs. Xuanpinghou... has a good character?" the Queen Mother said to herself.
"My grandson also heard that the wife of the Minister of Rites is an upright person. She married the Minister of Rites to take care of my sister's children. This time... I'm afraid my true colors will be revealed." Feng Yu said with a smile, "Grandma Huang, you didn't
Seeing the anger of Prince Zhongshan, he jumped right there."
"Nonsense," the Queen Mother scolded.
"Royal Grandmother, I'm really not talking nonsense. When he saw Miss Fang's injury, Prince Zhongshan jumped in and took Miss Fang to the Empress. Fortunately, this matter was given by the Empress in marriage and has nothing to do with the Imperial Grandmother."
Feng Yu reached out and patted his chest, showing fear.
Only the smile on his face showed that he was gloating about his misfortune.
The Queen Mother no longer wanted to scold her grandson for his behavior. She had too many words to say, and her grandson's temper was not serious. Even if something happened in the palace, he could still laugh.
This child is still too childish and doesn't know how to tolerate it.
He coughed lowly: "What do you think about this matter?"
"Royal Grandmother, if you are a grandson, you won't be polite this time and will knock on the door directly. No matter what, you will have to throw this little old man, the Minister of Rites, a few times, and make him disrespectful and let him marry such a stepmother.
Answer the question." Feng Yu curled his lips and said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is a court official." the Queen Mother scolded.
"The imperial grandmother, as well as the imperial court official, is just a father when it comes to Miss Fang. A father can't even protect a daughter. The most important thing is to beat his daughter like this. He is a father who has really neglected his duty.
, maybe the two of them had an affair at the beginning..."
Feng Yu spoke openly.
"Yu'er, if you keep talking nonsense, the Queen Mother will be angry." The Queen Mother couldn't stop scolding her and used her own dignity.
"Grandma Imperial, why are you so angry? This matter has nothing to do with you, that is, it has to do with the Queen. You can just watch the excitement and have fun. How can you still be angry?" Feng Yu sighed helplessly,
Advise.
"How can you enjoy watching the Ai family?" The Queen Mother was so angry that her head was spinning. This was her own business, her own business. Why did it sound like she was going to someone else's house to watch the excitement?
"Royal Grandma, the Queen Mother is the one who calls the shots in the harem now. You are the Queen Mother, and your main task is to take care of yourself. Is it possible that you are still ignorant and want to interfere in this kind of thing? This kind of thing is the Queen Mother's business. Yes.
The queen will also tell Uncle Huang about the matter, and it would not be good if Grandma Wang interferes."
Feng Yu lazily advised.
"The Imperial Grandmother is not old yet and can still take care of things." The Queen Mother said displeased.
"Yes, yes, my grandson knows that the emperor's grandmother is not old and can still take care of things. However, the queen has always been in charge of the harem. If there is any matter, the emperor's uncle must also consult the queen. This is the rule. The emperor's grandmother once told her grandson
Could it be that the Imperial Grandmother has forgotten about the incident?"
The Queen Mother did say this, but she just said it and didn't take it to heart.
This harem belongs to her son and hers. How can the queen take away everything? This is really unpleasant to hear. I wanted to scold Feng Yu a few more times, but suddenly I remembered that my son used to discuss everything with me.
, now my son won’t come over to discuss things if nothing happens. Even if something happens, the Queen will usually come over to talk about it.
I feel depressed. My son and I are indeed not as good as before. In the past, my son relied on me first...
"Does your uncle know about this?" The Queen Mother said angrily, not wanting to think about it any further.
"I already know. Originally, my grandson had to come earlier, but it was because he went to report the news to the emperor's uncle that he was late." Feng Yu said.
"You kid...be careful of your imperial uncle scolding you." The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and tapped Feng Yu.
"With the imperial grandmother here, my grandson is not afraid." Feng Yu said with a smile.
"You skinny monkey, go see if your uncle Huang is here." The Queen Mother sent Feng Yu.
Feng Yu's face was extremely well-behaved: "Grandma Huang is waiting here while my grandson goes to invite Uncle Huang. But there is one thing. If Uncle Huang is unwilling to come, Grandma Huang cannot blame her grandson."
These words hurt her heart, and reminded the Queen Mother of the not-so-close relationship between mother and son now. Her smile became much lighter: "Go quickly. If you go too late, your uncle the emperor really doesn't know where he is going."
"What the Imperial Grandmother said is that my grandson will leave as soon as he is there." Feng Yu readily agreed and left with a thump in his wheelchair.
Seeing her most distressed grandson leaving, the Queen Mother frowned and sighed thoughtfully...
Zhang Wanyin took Yu Xijiao to the side hall on the right. Yu Xijiao followed her in. The guests and hosts sat down in the side hall, and the maid served tea.
Another palace maid brought an embroidery piece and placed it between the two of them.
"Miss Yu San, look at how my embroidery is going. If there's anything I'm not good at, please ask Miss Yu San for advice." Zhang Wanyin said softly, raising her hand to send the embroidery in front of Yu Xijiao.
"Princess Mingqing is too polite, I... only know a few things." Yu Xi said delicately, reaching out to take the embroidery.
"Miss Yu San grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, so she is much better than the rest of us." Zhang Wanyin said politely, looking at Yu Xijiao with a smile, and checking her expression calmly.
The embroidery is very good. It is a pair of peonies, one big and one smaller. The flowers are in different colors. The big one is red and the small one is pale pink.
"Originally I just wanted to embroider a red flower, but I found that it was too lonely, with too much white space, so that the entire embroidery lost its color and vitality. Later, I embroidered another one like this on the edge, and the entire painting
It looks much better, what do Miss Yu think?" Seeing that Yu Xijiao had not spoken for a long time, Zhang Wanyin stretched out her hand and pointed at the embroidery.
"Princess Mingqing is absolutely right." Yu Xijiao put down the embroidery in her hand with a look of approval, and smiled sheepishly: "When I was in Jiangnan, I wasn't really good at embroidery. My grandmother said that I was good at embroidery.
That’s fine.”
"As Miss Yu, there is indeed no need to be good at embroidery, but compared to the average daughter of an aristocratic family, Miss Yu must know the quality of embroidery better."
Zhang Wanyin said softly, with a light and gentle smile that made people feel good.
You may not be able to embroider, but you will definitely appreciate it.
This sounds good and gentle, but it makes people feel a bit strong inexplicably. If he doesn't criticize me today, he seems to be ashamed of his grandmother, or his grandmother has lost control of him.
"This embroidery is indeed too thin on one side. Now that I add one branch, it looks more layered. If I add another branch on the other side, it might look more comfortable. I don't know if that's right. I hope.
Princess, I forgive you." Yu Xijiao said with a smile.
Zhang Wanyin nodded: "Since Miss Yu said this, there should be a charter. Why don't you ask Miss Yu to draw it so that I can have a reference. Jiangnan's embroidery paintings have always been famous, and some embroidery paintings can even be compared with paintings by famous artists."
After saying this, Zhang Wanyin turned around and said, "Come here, prepare pen and ink for Miss Yu San."
Before Yu Xijiao could refuse, a palace maid had already come over and presented her with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Miss Yu, please." Zhang Wanyin stood up.
The pen and ink had been put down, and she had to draw if she didn't want to draw. Yu Xijiao took a deep look at the princess of Anqing. This one was a little different from what she had imagined. In her last life, many things she saw were just appearances.
.
This so-called embroidered peony has not yet made any meaning. She wants to see if there is another meaning in it...
Picking up the pen, without any further refusal, I looked at the embroidery, first drew the first branch on the top, and then drew a smaller light yellow peony on the other side of the middle, which was red.
Compared with the two red peonies, this one is a little smaller, but because of the different colors, it makes people's eyes light up and has a unique charm. The dewdrops rolling on the flowers immediately make this peony seem to be alive.
Attractive.
"Okay!" Zhang Wanyin clapped her hands and said, "It is indeed a masterpiece. Just one painting made the whole painting more alive. I didn't misjudge the person."
"Princess Mingqing is so polite." Yu Xijiao put down her pen.
"I'm not being polite, it's really good. This is the first time I've seen such a good embroidery painting." Zhang Wanyin picked up the embroidery painting painted by Yu Xijiao. She couldn't put it down and praised it repeatedly, "Jiangnan is indeed the hometown of embroidery painting.
I just thought about it before, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful, and it's several levels higher than my previous embroidery."
"Princess Mingqing is so complimentary." Yu Xijiao smiled slightly.
"It's really good. I have never seen a wealthy family who can draw such outstanding embroidery paintings. This embroidery painting deserves to be called the first-class embroidery painting."
"What embroidery is the first grade? Princess Mingqing was so moved when she saw it." A man's voice suddenly came from outside the palace door.
Yu Xijiao raised her eyes and frowned slightly, how could it be him?
