Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 593 Bidding
The weather is still hot and dry.

The day of court bidding finally arrived.

The place for bidding is the Palace Music Square.

In the hall of the music workshop, there are tables, chairs and benches. Later, after the embroiderers from each embroidery workshop come, they can embroider in their respective positions.

Empress Changsun came very early. As the person in charge of this matter, she dared not be sloppy in the slightest. Of course, he would also maintain absolute justice.

Although this is just a small matter in the palace, no matter how small it is, there cannot be the slightest bias. This is his principle as the master of the harem.

Fortunately, although Qin's embroidered lady participated this year, neither Qin Tian nor Tang Rong had ever communicated with her. This made her feel that Qin Tian and Tang Rong were reassuring people and would not give him What trouble.

Of course, even if they came, he would not be selfish, so if they really did this, they would only find it unpleasant.

Not long after Empress Changsun arrived, girls from each embroidery workshop came one after another. There were about six girls from one embroidery workshop to embroider a piece of clothing together.

Time, about a day.

After the girls from the embroidery workshops came in, they sat down in their seats. All of these girls were very handsome, and everyone's appearance was reasonable.

The girls in Yiyan Embroidery Workshop, because they are pampered, give people an indescribable sense of elegance.

However, even so, they are not particularly outstanding among so many embroidery workshop girls.

After everyone arrived, Empress Changsun came out from behind.

"Today, you are going to complete a talented robe. That embroidery workshop is doing well. The clothes needed for the palace in the next year will be ordered from their embroidery workshop."

After finishing speaking, Empress Changsun didn't say much else. After ordering someone to describe the style of Cairen's robe, she retreated. For the next day or so, these embroiderers will spend here.

The weather is very hot and the time is very busy. In the hall, the embroiderers from different embroidery workshops are busy back and forth. The girls in Yiyan embroidery workshop are actually a little nervous, but even though they are nervous, they dare not relax in the slightest. Still embroidering step by step according to the usual practice.

The embroiderers in Jiangnan Fang are all girls from Jiangnan. They are fair-skinned, beautiful, ingenious, and all veterans. They have participated in several bidding conferences, so they can keep calm at this time, just Embroider quickly.

The time passed like this, and the day ended soon. Around dusk, some embroidery workshops began to submit their works one after another.

The works of each embroidery workshop have their own logo, and they embroider their own logo on the clothes, so even if someone wants to fake it, they can't.

Obviously, the whole process was very fair and just.

After the work was handed in, the girls from each embroidery workshop left one after another, going back to wait for the result.

When Xiuniang brought the girls from Yiyan embroidery workshop back, she met those girls from Jiangnan workshop. They seemed very proud and arrogant, as if they felt that they could still be appreciated by the court this year.

When Xiu Niang saw them, she didn't say anything, but when she passed in front of those people, a girl from Jiangnan Fang suddenly stopped them: "Do you think you can get the imperial court's bidding this year?"

After that, they suddenly burst into laughter: "With our sisters here, don't think about it."

These people are a bit crazy, Xiu Niang chuckled: "You will regret it, remember your identities, you can be crazy with others, but you can't with us."

After Xiu Niang finished speaking, she took the people away, but the girls in Jiangnanfang were taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the problem was a bit serious. Although they were very powerful, they said that there were big people behind the embroidery workshop.

Consciously slipping their tongues, they didn't dare to stay any longer, and rushed back in a hurry.
-
After all the works were handed in, it was still not very late, and Empress Changsun directly led people to choose them.

All the works are hung up so that people can see them more directly. The first thing to look at is the patterns on Cairen's clothes. If the patterns are not well embroidered, they will be eliminated directly.

No matter whether the embroidery is crooked or not like it, they will not be eligible to enter the next round of screening.

After one round of elimination in this way, half of them will be eliminated, and the rest will continue to be screened.

In the second round of selection, it was even more simple and rude, ordering people to try them on. After the try-on, the selection was made based on the style, comfort level, hand feel, etc., and the final winner was determined.

The maids who choose to try on the clothes are all very aware of this kind of clothes. That is to say, their skin is very delicate. friction and so on.

After wearing them in this way, another batch will be eliminated, and only a few pieces will be left in the end. The remaining few pieces will be tried on by real talents in the harem, and finally the winner will be determined.

It wasn't until the sunset that Empress Changsun finally chose the most suitable one.

However, when he saw the logo of the winning embroidery workshop, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. After hesitating again and again, he went to Li Shimin's bedroom.

"My lord, the results of this year's embroidery workshop bidding have come out."

"This matter is the queen's business. The queen can decide on her own. Why do you come here to tell me?" Li Shimin really trusts the queen. As long as it is a matter of the harem, leave it to the queen. The rest Don't worry too much.

Empress Changsun smiled wryly, and said: "My lord, if in previous years, it would be fine if the concubine made the decision, but this year the winner is Qin Tian's Yiyan Embroidery Workshop, but if he is chosen, I am afraid that it will arouse other people's doubts."

Everything is about avoiding suspicion.

Although many people say that virtuous people should not avoid relatives, but when you really promote virtuous people without avoiding relatives, someone will jump out, so the best way is to avoid relatives directly, so that no one can say anything.

When Li Shimin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "Is what the queen said true?"

"The result was screened layer by layer, and I didn't show any favoritism."

"The queen misunderstood. I don't think you are partial to anyone. I just find it strange. The embroiderer of Qin Tianyiyan Embroidery Workshop really has this ability. How long will it take for them to defeat Jiangnanfang?"

Empress Changsun smiled bitterly: "The concubine also finds it strange. In terms of workmanship, Jiangnanfang is indeed the best, but in terms of comfort, it is definitely Yiyanxiufang. These concubines have been tried by many court ladies. They all had the same answer, which is really strange."

The fabrics of the clothes are all the same, but some people's embroidery is comfortable to wear, and some people's clothes are uncomfortable. After hearing this, Li Shimin even found it interesting.
