stormy clouds

Chapter 40
In March in Yangchun, the breeze is thin, and the spring is bright.

In the weaving department, the princess of the county looked at the beautiful girls, and smiled quietly from the corners of her eyes and brows.

"Baoqin, go and see if Mrs. Qin and the others are ready, the time has come."

As soon as the words fell, a group of ladies headed by Mrs. Qin came out holding the scrolls.

The huge courtyard was immediately silent.

"Concubine Princess, you can start!" Mrs. Qin stood in front of Princess An, smiled and bent over.

"Okay!" Princess Jun stood up and walked to the front, "Girls have worked hard for many days, and now all the embroideries are ready, now let our lady in charge show the embroideries one by one and judge the ranking. "

"From left to right, please show the embroidery." The princess of the county made a gesture of invitation.

The two ladies on the far left came forward with the embroidery, each holding one end of the scroll, and unfolded the embroidery.

Everyone looked at it together, it was a koi carp, three-tailed carp were playing among the lotus leaves, with different expressions.

"Well, not bad," Princess Anjun nodded with a smile, "The lotus flower is refined, and the koi is delicate and simple, it is a top-quality picture."

The eight palm-eyed ladies made comments and scored them respectively.

The next few pictures are all flowers and birds, which are exquisite and neat.

The princess of the county smiled and commented, "Nowadays, my Qingzhou girl is also a talented person, and today's embroidery has made great progress compared to five years ago."

Mrs. Qin said with a smile, "The princess of the county is right, this time there are two top-quality paintings, and I have to ask the princess of the county to hold my eyes.

"Oh!" The princess of the county smiled more and more warmly, "In my opinion, these are already excellent, if there are better ones, then today is really an eye-opener for me."

Just as she was talking, the lady who was displaying the scroll in front opened another one. The princess concubine's expression froze, and then she laughed, "This one has a clever idea. It only uses black tones, and it actually embroiders the artistic conception of mountains and rivers."

The eight palm-eyed ladies looked at each other and nodded slightly, it was really good.

Embroidery in Qi State is exquisite. This piece of embroidery is exquisite and elegant. The stones and scenes inside are exquisitely embroidered. Looking at the previous pictures with bright colors, this piece looks quite like a celebrity.

"This landscape painting was embroidered by the fifth girl of the Chang family," Mrs. Qin said to the county princess with a faint smile.

"Oh," the princess of the county took a serious look again, and said, "He is indeed a disciple of Mrs. Qin, and his embroidery skills are very good."

Mrs. Qin smiled and returned the gift, "Ms. Chang Wu has a clever mind after all, but her foundation is not enough. There are still good things to come."

Seeing everyone's envious eyes, Chang Luoyao lowered her head and smiled, a little smug.

Zhou Wei on the tree twitched the corners of his mouth. He really didn't know what was wrong with this embroidery. It looked very bland and tasteless.

He closed his eyes, put his arms on his head and continued to doze off.

"Wow!"

The girls below exclaimed in unison.

Zhou Wei was so startled that he almost fell from the tree.He stretched out his hand to grab a branch, and took a look. What was unfolded this time was a piece of bright red embroidered cloth, with a large and dignified Chinese character "Shou" shining on the embroidered cloth.

Zhou Wei twitched the corners of his mouth, the word "longevity" was a bit interesting.

"Oh my god, I've never seen the Chinese characters for longevity can be embroidered like this."

"Look, it's all connected by peony branches and leaves!"

"The key is the color halo, it's too realistic."

"Look, look, the character "Shou" looks different from different angles?"

The girls below chattered and sighed.

On the stage, the princess of the county sat still, staring intently at the embroidery in front of her. After a while, she raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile, "Okay, great!"

"This embroidery is bold and bold in color, and the color is as gorgeous as cooking oil in a fire. The most important thing is that this embroidery is very suitable as a birthday gift for the Empress Dowager. The girl who embroidered this embroidery is so caring."

"This one was embroidered by Kong Shaoling's daughter Ling'er." Miss Qin said respectfully with a smile.

"Miss Linger?" The princess of the county glanced at the girls, and her gaze fell on Kong Linger who was standing in the middle.

Kong Linger bowed his knees and saluted.

Zhou Wei glanced at it, and rested his head on the tree trunk with his hands on his face expressionlessly. The embroidery is interesting, but the person is nothing special.

"Miss Ling'er, this piece of embroidery of yours can be directly sent to the palace as a birthday present for the empress dowager. You should be ready in the next few days, and we will enter the palace in a few days!" The county princess looked at Kong Linger and smiled very gently.

Kong Linger's eyes lit up, and she immediately saluted deeply, "Thank you, Princess, the daughter of the people will spare no effort to prepare for entering the palace."

"Is this peony longevity character the winning embroidery this time?"

"It must be. You have heard from the princess of the county that Ling'er is ready to enter the palace."

"Miss Ling'er's embroidery is really good, I'm so convinced."

Kong Linger listened with a smile, unmoved.Chang Luoyun smiled at her, "Linger, congratulations!"

Kong Ling'er smiled back at her, and a trace of jealousy flashed in Chang Luoyao's eyes. She lowered her head, and her palms ached from picking her nails.

The concubine of the county glanced at the last scroll, and said to Mrs. Qin with a smile, "If there is no accident, this peony longevity character will be the first."

Lady Qin smiled, "Peony's birthday characters are exquisitely embroidered, and the halo and stitches are superb. No. 1 is well-deserved."

The princess princess nodded.

Because there are good ones, everyone is not looking forward to it.

The two ladies held the last scroll and gently unfolded it.

The Weaving Division's compound, which was still whispering just now, was a bit eerie.

Zhou Wei opened his eyes, was it raining flowers all over the sky?

He couldn't help touching his face, and there was a slight coolness from the petals brushing over his face.

He stared wide-eyed, looking at the glowing and blooming peach blossoms in front of him, his ingenious workmanship was nothing more than that!

The girl who recovered first stretched out her hand and looked around blankly, "Am I in the peach blossom forest? Why does it feel like the petals are floating on me?"

"I think so too, it's amazing!"

The girls all exclaimed, "Look at the peach tree, it's so realistic that you can even feel the roughness of the bark."

The girls standing behind stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks to look forward.

The princess of the county was stunned for a long time, then stood up, took two steps forward and stared at the peach tree carefully.

A peach grove seems to contain the whole spring, with flowers and rain falling all over the sky.

"Miss Qin, come and take a look, what kind of embroidery is this?" The princess's voice trembled, with indescribable surprise.

Although Lady Qin was stunning, she was well versed in various embroidery techniques. She looked at it carefully for a while, and suppressed the shock in her heart, "Princess, this tree trunk looks like it is woven on embroidered cloth. Silk?"

Kesi has been lost for more than ten years since the death of Lady Zhu who knew how to play Kesi, so how could it appear in the embroidery competition?

The princess suppressed the shock in her heart, turned around, and said loudly, "May I ask which girl made this embroidery?"

Chang Luoyun took a step forward, Yingying saluted, her voice was as crisp as a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, "Chang Luoyun, a commoner girl, is not good at learning, and the princess laughed at her."

She was wearing a light green beige and a moon-white pleated skirt. Standing there, she was as delicate as a new willow in spring.

She is Chang Shaocheng's fifth girl who grew up in the countryside!
The county princess's heart skipped a beat.

　Thank you Yucca and Shabaohua for the recommendation tickets.The beauty of the peach blossoms is shining brightly. My little fairies, it doesn’t matter if you haven’t gone to admire the peaches this year. In April, the grass is lush and the flowers are like brocades. When you’re busy, you should also remember to look at the scenery of the four seasons and relax. Feeling.
