Chaoli was already prepared to participate in this embroidery competition today. Shen Lianyi was definitely going to come, and Gu Xiyue also mentioned to her that Shen Lianyi might attack her.
I originally thought that besides Shen Lianyi, there should be Princess Ruimin, but she didn't come.
However, Shen Lianyi also saw Chao Li at this moment, with undisguised disgust in her eyes.
"Sister-in-law, look at her. She doesn't even hide it now. She used to pretend to be good friends with you. Looking at her eyes now, she wants to bite you to death. How could I be so blind before and didn't even look at you? Come out?" Gu Xiyue shook her head.
Chaoli almost laughed out loud, "This is normal and understandable. After all, she would hide in the past. It's just that I can't get any benefits from seeing you now. There is no hope for the crown prince. I didn't give her a chance, so I'm simply too lazy to act. .”
"Don't worry about it, but it's better to be careful. Don't eat the food prepared for today's competition, endure your thirst for a while, and then go back to the carriage." Chaoli warned worriedly.
Gu Xiyue knew that Chaoli was not joking, so she nodded and agreed.
Hundreds of small tables have been prepared for today's embroidery competition, all of which are neatly placed with silk handkerchiefs and needlework.
The small tables for the contestants are arranged neatly. There are ten rows in a field, and there are ten people in each row. A small field can accommodate a hundred people competing.
The rules of the competition are actually very simple, that is, the judge will ask a question, and then the contestants will start embroidering.
During the embroidery process, the judges will have a piece of red silk in their hands, and they will also patrol the field a quarter of an hour after the game starts.
If they meet someone who looks good to them, they will leave the red silk, which means they will pass the test.
However, you can only get one piece of red silk.
For example, there is a contestant whose embroidery work is very good, but a previous judge has left the red silk. Then the other judge will give the red silk to someone else and will not give it to her again.
After all, this competition is actually relatively fair. If you encounter a player you don't like, other judges can choose her, and there will be no unfair situation.
Chaoli also knew this rule, so he was not worried at all that he would not be able to get into the first audition. According to previous statements, there should be three rounds of auditions before the finals.
The questions for each competition are set by the judges, and the questions follow their mood.
Only in the final finals will the person above set the question. Chaoli guessed that this person should be the Queen Mother, after all, she was originally her attention.
As for why I didn't choose someone from the palace, I'm afraid I thought they didn't like him, so I just looked among the people.
With such a good opportunity to improve her reputation, Chaoli naturally wanted to participate. In the past, even if her reputation was not very good, Chaoli didn't care at all. She just wanted to live a free and easy life, so she ignored these people.
But now, she has a good relationship with Gu Hanzhang, so she naturally doesn't want to affect Gu Hanzhang's reputation because of her previous incidents.
Since both of them missed so much in their previous lives, of course they must cultivate their relationship properly in this life.
While Chaoli was thinking, the game had already begun.
The topic of the first competition is very simple, which is to embroider bamboo.
Chaoli didn't really like these things, but he didn't hate them either. He would occasionally embroider them on Gu Hanzhang's clothes, so he could be considered to have done a lot of research and completed them quickly.
In fact, the women in the boudoir and the wives in the future are all good at embroidery. Some people even put a lot of thought into their embroidery, so in many cases their embroidery skills may not be bad.
Therefore, many people have embroidered bamboo embroidery, including eldest ladies like Shen Lianyi. Perhaps Shen Lianyi is not outstanding in other places, but her embroidery skills are good. Chaoli was actually already Have seen it.
I still remember that one time, Shen Lianyi embroidered a silk handkerchief for Gu Hanzhang. Chaoli saw that the pattern on it was good. It was also a silk handkerchief, but every stitch and every stitch was very delicate.
Not long after, Shen Lianyi quickly completed the embroidery in his hand, which was almost as close as Chaoli's.
When Shen Lianyi finished, she raised her head and her eyes fell on Chaoli not far away. Their eyes intertwined in mid-air.
Shen Lianyi was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect Chaoli to look over as well.
Seeing this, a sneer appeared on her lips and she was determined to win, as if she felt that Chaoli's embroidery skills could not be better than hers.
At this moment, the person who selected the selection passed by.
Since Chao Li was in the front, she got the red silk.
Shen Lianyi was not in a hurry. She had no idea about Chaoli getting the red silk. After all, as the imperial concubine, there was no way she would be defeated in the first round. She would give her face no matter what, especially when Chaoli arrived just now. Princess Zhaoan also greeted her.
Not long after, Shen Lianyi also got the red silk.
Chao Li also didn't feel any surprise. She also knew that Shen Lianyi was good at embroidery.
However, we haven’t reached the finals yet and everything is unknown.
Not long after, the first round of competition ended.
Long Lin smiled and stood next to Chaoli, "Prince Princess, I knew you wouldn't have any problems, so you can easily pass the test."
"Why, haven't you passed?" Chaoli asked funny.
"Obviously, I don't have any embroidery skills at all, so I didn't embroider bamboo, I just embroidered something else crookedly." Long Lin replied.
As he spoke, he took out the embroidery in his hand.
Anyone who has tried it for the first time will have their embroidery taken away.
As for the ones that haven't been passed, naturally I keep them myself.
Chaoli raised her eyes and looked over. She thought that what Long Lin just said was just a relatively modest speech, at least it was still readable. However, she did not expect that Long Lin's embroidery was so 'excellent'.
Seeing Long Lin looking at her longingly, Chao Li suddenly turned around the words that came to his lips.
"This, this lump, no, this bear is quite well embroidered."
Unfortunately, Chaoli had never spent so much time praising an indescribable piece of embroidery. She felt like her mind was going empty, but she still couldn't think of any suitable words to describe it.
Long Lin's eyes widened, "What bear? This is the monkey I embroidered! Qiu Shuang's zodiac sign is monkey, I chose it specially. Then according to what you mean, Qiu Shuang may not be able to see it, now it's better , I don’t know if I can give away the purse.”
I really don’t blame Chaoli, she didn’t even recognize the animal, she just thought the color looked a bit like a bear, that’s why she said that.
Seeing that Long Lin looked a little uncomfortable, Chaoli was also quite helpless.
"Okay, how about changing it to a birthday gift? Maybe if you change it to something else, you will get unexpected results."
Long Lin was delighted and nodded immediately.
Yes, it's not necessary to embroider, he naturally has other skills.
