stormy clouds

Not only the emperor was amazed at the scene, but also King An Jun.

He concealed the surprise in his eyes, and gave Chang Luoyun a complicated look.

If "Taoyao" used Kesi to attract his attention deliberately, this "Birthday Picture" is another embroidery method.

It has to be said that her color matching and embroidery skills are even better than Zhu Yu's.

The blue satin material is low-key and luxurious, and the maid in Caiyunjian holds a feather palace fan, accompanied by the Queen Mother driving a phoenix, and the three stars of fortune, fortune and longevity on the Yaotai greet her.

Indus trees, pines, cypresses, fairy peaches, ganoderma lucidum, chrysanthemums, roses and other scenery that symbolize longevity are solemnly and beautifully embroidered. Yaotai, green mountains, colorful clouds, and water waves are embroidered spotlessly, just like a fairyland.

"Okay, it's really good." The queen mother did not hesitate to praise, "I only said that the picture of peonies in front is already good, but I didn't expect this one to be better."

Concubine Qian looked at it quietly for a while, then burst out laughing. She blessed the queen mother, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the queen mother, congratulations to the queen mother, it is really auspicious to get this excellent product on her birthday."

Everyone looked at her.King An Jun glanced at her lightly, and continued to drink tea.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, "Tell me, Concubine, what's so good about this embroidery?"

Concubine Qian pursed her lips and smiled, "The Queen Mother in this embroidery resembles the Empress Dowager. Miss Chang Si had never seen the Empress Dowager before, but she embroidered a Queen Mother who resembled the Empress Dowager. Isn't that a good omen?"

Chang Luoyun pursed her lips and smiled, Qian Guifei was indeed a wonderful person, even this could be seen.

Most of the old ladies from rich and noble families have kind faces and graceful and luxurious temperament. The queen mother happens to be wearing a yellow auspicious dress and combing the same hair bun. Kind of similar.

Everyone smiled and nodded: "It really looks a bit like the Queen Mother."

"Miss Chang Si is not the empress dowager, is she?"

The Queen Mother was very happy to hear this flattery, "Miss Chang Si, come to Ai's house and tell Ai's house carefully, is it Ai's embroidered in your birthday picture?"

Chang Luoyun walked up to the Empress Dowager generously, bowed her knees and said, "Empress Dowager Jin'an. When embroidering the birthday picture, the women were thinking hard about what the Queen Mother would embroider. Unexpectedly, that night, they had a dream. In the dream, She is such a lady with a kind face.

When I woke up in the morning, I recalled the appearance of the person in my dream, and embroidered it.Just now Concubine Qian Gui said that she looked like the Empress Dowager, I looked closely, and it really did look a bit like her. "

Since someone deliberately pleases the Empress Dowager, she has no reason to spoil the scenery.

The queen mother was really happy when she heard it, and said with a smile, "It really is auspicious, emperor, what do you think?"

The emperor said sternly: "Miss Chang Si has never met her mother, but she met her in her dream and embroidered it on the birthday picture. This is because of her mother's deep blessing and sincerity, so she can get such an embroidery on her birthday. "

Concubine Qian Gui curled her lips, this is considered a good way, but it's a pity that she made a pawn for nothing.

Isn't the queen asking the princess of the county to bring the embroidered girl from Qingzhou to share the favor?Then she will fulfill her well.

The Empress Dowager became more and more happy, looked at Chang Luoyun and said, "Chang Fourth Miss not only has good embroidery skills, but also looks very upright, which is really extremely rare.

Emperor, what do you think? "

"Ms. Chang Si, Hui Zhi Lan Xin, it is really rare to be able to embroider such a masterpiece at such a young age."

"The birthday picture is only one side, what else is good?" Princess Anjun smiled and said to Baoqin Jinshu, "Open the other side."

Baoqin Jinshu turned over the birthday picture with a smile, and a picture of a crane suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone has seen double-sided embroidery. It is nothing more than the same embroidery on both sides of the embroidery cloth. It is more delicate, and there are only subtle differences in the pictures presented on the two sides.

And like this one, even the color of the base cloth is different, and the picture is even more beautiful, and no one has seen it before.

The picture of Song and Crane in front of you is beautiful and elegant embroidered on the bottom of Huangjuan. By the bank of the roaring mountain spring, there is a crane standing on the steep limestone, with a leisurely attitude and extraordinary bearing. Leaning out, the pine branches are drooping, the pine cone is strong, the static and dynamic complement each other, and the spirit is radiant.

What is even more amazing is that the embroidery is particularly exquisite. The brushwork and ink, the rocks are dyed, and the embroidery is simple and elegant, which is pleasing to the eye.

Everyone's eyes widened, Concubine Qian looked at Chang Luoyun with complicated eyes, as if a bottle of vinegar had been poured into her heart, it was sour and hot.

She regretted that she underestimated the enemy. If she had known that she had such a skill, she would not have said anything stupid about the queen mother being like a queen mother.

This is not to show his generosity, but to find an opponent for himself.

The queen laughed first, "I have never seen Miss Chang Si's embroidery like this before."

The emperor clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's really wonderful. It's rare to be able to embroider any one of the embroidered sides, not to mention that both sides are so delicate. It's hard to find another person in Qi State with such embroidery skills. "

King An Jun gave Wang Hao a meaningful look. It turned out that her embroidery competition this time was really not for him!

Princess Anjun laughed and said: "At the Qingzhou Embroidery Contest that day, Fourth Miss Chang shocked the audience with a piece of "Taoyao", and now this double-sided embroidery has raised the embroidery skills to a new level.

Miss Chang Si is very skillful, I have an idea, why not let her teach this skill to the embroiderers in the palace, so as to carry forward the embroidery skills of Qi State. "

"That's a good idea," Emperor Longyan said happily, "I heard that Princess Chang's "Taoyao" shocked the audience. I want to open my eyes, but I don't know if this embroidered face has been brought?"

The princess of the county smiled and said: "Such a good thing, the minister's wife dare not keep it private, and has already brought it together with the embroidery for the Queen Mother this time."

Baoqin Jinshu carefully put away the embroidery in his hand, and held it to the queen mother's maid, and then took another scroll from the box, and slowly unfolded it.

Suddenly the spring was bright in the room, and everyone's eyes lit up, as if they had walked into the spring of March, and even their mood brightened.

"It's really good!" After a few seconds of silence, the Queen Mother murmured: "As soon as this embroidered face is opened, even Aijia feels the smell of peach blossoms in the air."

The Empress also didn't expect that this painting of "Taoyao" is so good, she said with a smile: "The peach blossoms are shining brightly. Does Miss Chang Si have a betrothed family?"

Before Chang Luoyun could speak, the emperor waved his hand to stop him and said, "Don't spoil the fun, empress, let me take a good look at this picture of Taoyao."

The queen pursed her lips and smiled silently.

Concubine Qian Guifei was about to lose her composure, the previous two paintings were enough to keep her safe, but now that she opened this one, how could her embroidery still catch the eyes of the emperor.

The emperor looked at it for a while before raising his head, "How did your dizziness become so natural? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe it."

Chang Luoyun said: "The silk thread dyed by the folk girls has a few more shades than the silk thread sold in the market, and the color is more realistic."

The emperor pondered and said: "It's really rare for you to have such an achievement at such a young age. I can satisfy you whatever reward you want."

"The women of the people have little talent and learning, and dare not take credit for it."

The emperor thought for a while and said, "Take a pen and ink."

The maid immediately spread paper and grinded it.

Standing in front of the case, the emperor held his sleeves with his left hand and held a pen with his right hand, writing four big characters with a brush.

"Splendid streamer."

The emperor looked at the four hearty characters, and said loudly: "The Fourth Miss Chang is worthy of these four characters, and the emperor bestows a plaque on the fourth Miss Chang with a splendid streamer."
