stormy clouds

Chapter 42
The concubine's smile froze, and she slowly curled up her fingers.

Chang Luoyun looked over, the county prince was wearing a blue Taoist robe, sitting in front of the desk, lifting the teapot to pour tea into the cup.

"Could Miss Chang want to say that she doesn't know Mrs. Zhu?" King An paused, then sneered, "But you know, she is clearly the first to create this tapestry."

"My lord is knowledgeable, but my daughter is ignorant. I really don't know who Miss Zhu is? Would you please give me some advice?" Chang Luoyun stood at the head of King An, as if he was listening to the teachings seriously.

Yu'er was famous for Kesi at that time. As the daughter of Chang Shaocheng, the weaving department, she dared to say that she didn't know?
King Anjun snorted, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and took a sip, lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Then where does Miss Chang come from for her Kesi skills?"

"It is indeed the women who fumbled in daily embroidery."

"He came here by groping?" Prince An looked over with sharp eyes, Chang Luoyun did not dodge, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he looked at him generously.

Really - calm down!

"Then let me tell you who Miss Zhu is," Prince An said coldly, and his eyes were equally cold.

"My lord!" The princess of the county looked a little pale, "Miss Chang lost her mother since she was a child and grew up in the countryside. It is possible that she didn't know Miss Zhu."

Sure enough, he still couldn't let it go, it was just a piece of embroidery, was he venting his anger on her?

Chang Luoyun's eyes fell on the royal blue sleeves embroidered with cloud patterns, and the slightly curled fingers in the cuffs were actually trembling slightly.

The county princess is trembling!

A lazy and indifferent voice came from Chang Luoyun's ear, "Then Princess Lao will have a good talk with her!" As soon as the words fell, Prince An strode out with a gust of wind.

The concubine of the county smiled weakly, "Baoqin, the lotus seed soup made in the kitchen today is not bad, go and bring one to Miss Chang."

Baoqin agreed to get up and go.

The princess of the county asked Jin Shu to bring a few cases and sit down for Chang Luoyun.

"Miss Chang, Mrs. Zhu is the younger sister of the Duke of the county. She is extremely intelligent, especially talented in female reds, and she created her own silk embroidery. It is a pity that she passed away due to illness more than ten years ago."

"Prince An Jun and Lady Zhu grew up together, and they have a deep relationship. Now that they see things and think about others, Miss Chang, don't be offended."

"The king of An County values ​​love and righteousness, and the women admire him so much, how dare he take offense." Chang Luoyun said sincerely, "If the women knew about Mrs. Zhu sooner, they probably wouldn't have taken so many detours."

Princess Anjun was a little absent-minded, "Actually, in my opinion, there is still a difference between Mrs. Zhu's Kesi and yours. It's just that Mrs. Zhu is the prince's younger sister after all. If he cares about those close to him, he will be confused."

"This is also human nature." Chang Luoyun said, "It's just that I don't know if there is any chance to see Zhu Niangzi's embroidery?"

The princess of the county took a sip of the tea cup and said with a faint smile: "Of course there will be opportunities in the future."

Chang Luoyun knew that she didn't want to continue talking, so she pursed her lips and smiled and said nothing.

There was a moment of silence in the room, until Baoqin brought white fungus soup, the princess of the county greeted Chang Luoyun with a smile.

The thick white fungus soup is served in a fine white porcelain bowl, making it even more moist and delicious.Chang Luoyun stirred it lightly with a spoon, and the two red dates in it made a circle in the whirlpool.

"The first time I heard Miss Chang's name was because of Wei'er." The princess ate a spoonful of white fungus soup, with a smile on her lips, "You said that he was not afraid of anything from childhood, but he was beaten by a girl with an inkstone. I really want to see what kind of a powerful girl that is, but the moment I saw you, I knew that the one who was wrong must be Weier."

Chang Luoyun was stunned, she put down her spoon and said, "It's a girl who is reckless."

"I didn't mean to blame you," said the princess of the county, "Wei'er has always been naughty, and few people can cure him. He suffered a little to let him know that there are others."

Chang Luoyun showed embarrassment, "The girl was in a hurry, and she didn't figure it out."

The atmosphere in the room became more relaxed.

"You should also eat lunch here before you go back," the princess left behind, "We will set off in three to five days, and let Wei'er be the guard at that time."

"Everything is strictly in accordance with the arrangement of the princess."

After eating, Baoqin sent Chang Luoyun out of the county palace.There is an alley outside the Prince's Mansion, and few people come here on weekdays.Just after noon, the alley became even quieter.

Chang Luoyun and Bi Yan walked a few steps, when a slender blue figure in front blocked the way.

He seemed to have been standing here for some time, his shoulders drooped slightly, and he looked a little tired.

"Young Lord!" Chang Luoyun saluted generously.

King An Jun turned around, his dark eyes were as cold as ice on his elegant and amiable face, "Say, why are you approaching me?"

Chang Luoyun smiled slightly, neither humble nor overbearing, "The daughter of the county prince can't understand what she said. When I came to the mansion today, it was originally the princess who invited me, and the daughter of the people never thought of clinging to the prince."

King An Jun smiled, "Oh, since you haven't thought about it, why did you use Kesi embroidery in the embroidery competition? And this Kesi was still sent to me."

Chang Luoyun was surprised, "Could it be that the lord thinks that in this world, except Lady Zhu, no one else is worthy of Kesi, or does the lord think that only Lady Zhu can figure out this tapestry, and even if someone else figured it out, it's aimed at you?"

"What a sharp mouth," the county prince sneered.

"No matter what method you use, no matter who your master is, you will never get what you want." After speaking, Prince An took a deep look at her, turned and left.

Chang Luoyun, "."

Bi Yan: "Does the prince of the county still think you want to marry into the palace?"

Chang Luoyun was funny, "Prince An is really weird, I don't want to come to this mansion again."

"Girl, where are we going now?"

"Naturally go to Zhuxi Lane and see what's written in the grandmother's kit?" Chang Luoyun took out a kit from his arms, threw it up and held it in his hand.

-

Anjun Palace.

The concubine of the county sat in front of the window lonely, with a helpless and desolate expression, "Baoqin, if I had taken the initiative to ask the concubine Yi to marry Zhu Yu to the prince as a side concubine, the prince would not have held a grudge against me."

"You can't blame the princess for this matter, it's the prince himself who didn't untie the knot." Baoqin knew the pain of the princess. For so many years, the county king respected and loved the princess on the surface, but in private, he never took a step into the concubine's room.

"Sometimes, I think, if it wasn't Zhu Yu who died at that time, but me, would the lord think of me in my heart." A wry smile appeared on the lips of the princess of the county.

"Princess, do you still have a son?" Baoqin felt sorry for the concubine. The county prince looked gentle and amiable on the outside, but he was the most cold-hearted person. He hadn't seen the slightest tenderness towards the concubine in so many years.

"Yeah, I still have Zichu." The princess of the county was a little confused, "If it wasn't for Zichu, I really don't know what the meaning of life is."

"Oh, by the way, Wei'er said that Dr. Xu has returned to the capital, and the prince also agreed to take Zichu back to the capital to see a doctor. You and Jinshu should be more careful, and pack more of Zichu's things." Only when it comes to sons, the princess of the county has Gained strength.

"Yes," Baoqin agreed.

"This time, in addition to Miss Chang Si and Miss Wu, I am going to bring Miss Ling'er from Kong Shaoling's family with me when I enter the palace." The top three in the embroidery competition each have their own unique skills, and among the three there is always one queen mother who will like it. .
