The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

Chapter 43 Come to visit
"The materials here are all the existing materials in the satin warehouse, please take a look at them, my lord."

Rigorous in handling affairs, less in speech and quick in speech, Madam Fan's demeanor compares with Nanny Chang who talks too much and can't grasp the key points.

Lin Wanyi took a closer look, and then smiled.

"Nurse Fan is careful, so I will send it according to what you have commented."

"Yes."

The two of them spoke only a few sentences back and forth, and the matter was over.

Seeing this, Qiu Ming called Xiao Luzi and Xiao Hezi to come in, and said to them calmly.

"You go back with the two sisters and bring back everything. Be careful not to get it dirty or lost, you know?"

"Yes, the servant obeys!"

This chorus, even if Nanny Chang wanted to say a few more words, she couldn't get in.

Besides, Nanny Fan retreated out, she couldn't stand still in the inner room, so she had to follow along.

I was a little unhappy when I left, and I always felt that I hadn't fully explained my skills!

But Nanny Fan didn't care about the twists and turns in her heart, and hurried back to prepare materials.

After the people left, the yard was cleared up.

Xia An brought a cup of red dates and ginger tea over to warm up Lin Wanyi, and then asked curiously.

"My lord, are there too few silk threads? The servant girl saw that there is nothing left from what Madam Fan sent last time."

"Don't worry, Madam Fan knows what I mean. Since I don't have many silk threads to choose for embroidery, she will prepare them for me. The silk threads that can pass her eyes will definitely not be worse than those for embroidery." .”

Lin Wanyi's silk thread for embroidery is hard to find.

Ordinary colored silk thread, she'd better get it from Madam Fan.

The satin warehouse also has silk thread in stock, but there are not as many as embroidery, so people gradually forget it.

Last time, Nanny Fan sent so much in one go, so she must be able to send some more this time.

Sure enough, when Xiao Luzi came back, he brought more than ten pieces of material, and a tall pile of silk thread.

There are not many colors, only twenty or thirty.

But each of them is right in Lin Wanyi's heart.

Sure enough, he was a disciple passed down by his grandparents. Both his vision and brain are much easier to use than others.

It's a pity to stay in the satin warehouse as the master.

"My lord, where do you put these things?"

"Xia An has already built a cabinet, let's put it in it first, and then take it out when you need it."

Xiao Luzi took Xiao Hezi with him and filled the cabinet to the brim before stopping.

Fortunately, the cabinet is big enough, otherwise so many things may not be enough.

Xia An brought Lin Wanyi a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and after thinking about it, she sketched a few patterns on the paper.

She probably went to Wen's former residence once, so she had some ingenuity in making the emperor's clothes this time.

One shape for a while, one note for a while.

When she was drawing a lot, Qiu Ming walked in quickly.

"My lord, Qian'an Palace has sent a message, His Majesty will be here in a while."

Lin Wanyi's almond eyes were slightly wide, filled with surprises.

I haven't seen the emperor these days, so how could I be free today.

"Well, I see, Xia An helps me wash and dress up."

"Yes."

She is still ill now, so she dresses up just by tidying up her hair and straightening her clothes.

Xia An then supported him to fall down, and walked slowly to the corridor.

By chance, I saw the emperor Yu Wenhong striding forward. Against the backdrop of the sun, he looked majestic.

"My concubine, Mrs. Lin, invites the emperor Wanan."

"You have an injury on your foot, don't be polite."

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward to help her, and after standing still, he let go of her hand again.

In front of so many palace people, Lin Wanyi didn't like how sticky she was with the emperor.

I always feel that it is for others to see, and I am very tired of pretending.

After entering the inner room, the waiter was replaced by Qiu Ming.

Sitting on the couch, he took a sip of the tea that Qiu Ming sent over.

I thought it was just for thirst quenching, but unexpectedly it tastes delicious!

"What kind of tea is this?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's fruit tea. The concubine asked them to mix some grapes with jasmine tea, so it tastes both the fragrance of jasmine and the sweetness of grapes."

"How can there be grapes in this season?"

The emperor was curious, the grapes from previous years were determined not to be kept now, and there would be no fresh grapes in this season.

Lin Wanyi smiled.

"This is the honey jar brought by the concubine from her own home. There are six kinds of fruit honey in it, all of which are prepared in advance. These grapes are picked in the wild, and it is not good to eat, but the fruit honey is sour. It has a sweet aftertaste, so maids and concubines will add some to their tea when they drink tea on weekdays."

"I thought you liked spicy food."

"Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, there are all five flavors in the world. Maids and concubines love spicy food, but they don't refuse the other four flavors."

Hearing her words, the emperor began to meditate again.

For some reason, she always said something with a sense of Zen, and the emperor liked to think about the deep meaning behind it.

Lin Wanyi didn't bother, but continued to draw.

Such a relaxed appearance caused all the palace servants to retreat out one after another.

Only the two of them waited quietly in front of the window.

"What did you draw?"

"It's the pattern of the clothes you're going to sew for Your Majesty. Take a look, Your Majesty, do you still like it?"

The emperor took it, and Lin Wanyi explained from the side.

"This concubine intends to embroider with purple mixed with gold, and add some black satin and lake blue. The dragon head is not only dignified but also a bit more solemn. The technique of seed embroidery can also highlight the dragon scales. It must be beautiful to embroider."

"And this one, the maid and concubine imitated the color scheme of Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". The rivers are vast and the mountains are undulating. They are carefully embroidered near the pan buttons, which has a special charm."

Although Yu Wenhong didn't know how to embroider, but after listening to her seriously, there was a picture in his mind.

Her dexterous hands and the ingenuity in her mind are really quite different from those who embroider.

"Earlier, you said that you had learned a little bit. I thought you were afraid of showing cowardice, so you said it casually. I didn't expect it to be self-effacing. Such a good skill, it's hard to believe that you are the second lady from the Xiangfu."

In a word, Lin Wanyi's interest was lost.

Originally there was a little excitement in the eyebrows and eyes, but after hearing what the emperor said, they all dispersed.

Yu Wenhong watched her expression carefully, not missing anything.

"You don't like me mentioning Xiangfu?"

Lin Wanyi heard the words, and looked up at the emperor, both puzzled and tentative.

She didn't know how much the emperor knew about the affairs in the prime minister's mansion.

But also entering the palace as a prostitute, Concubine Lin Gui was the respected concubine at the beginning, but she just agreed.

If it is said that the emperor can't see the tricks in it, she doesn't believe it.

So Lin Wanyi just looked at him firmly, and then spoke word by word.

"Your Majesty misunderstood. The Prime Minister's Mansion is the root of concubines. How could you not like His Majesty mentioning it?"
