On the wedding night, I beg Your Majesty to give me a soup

Chapter 21: Chapter 21

The empress dowager doesn't like peonies, so if Wang Shuyan's embroidery is to be handed in, the empress dowager will definitely dislike it.

Ming Shanggong immediately came to Chuxiu Palace to find Wang Shuyan.

"What? The queen mother doesn't like peonies, but Lin..." How could Wang Shuyan not know at this time, this was Lin Youyi's trick. "What should I do now? It will be handed over soon. It's too late to make changes now."

Ming Shanggong said: "For the current plan, we can only find another embroidery to replace it."

Wang Shuyan's eyes deepened, "Then use Lin Youyi's."

Now it can only be like this, Mingshang Palace must keep Wang Shuyan, "Okay, I will make arrangements."

The evening in the capital city in winter is deep and deep, as if there are countless emotions, and it is as turbulent as the sea, capable of submerging everything.

It was going to be dark, and after Cui Shanggong said that tomorrow a nun would come to teach court etiquette, he told the ladies to disperse.

At this moment, Lin Youyi, Tian Shuhui, Liu Li, He Yameng, and Yan Danchen came from the Palace of Compassionate Ning to ask questions.

He Yameng was the first batch of show girls who followed Han Xiangzhi, and lived in the main hall.

Yan Danchen lived in the side hall, she was timid and rarely interacted with other people.

Lin Youyi was mentally prepared, and her face looked calm, but Liu Li and the other four were not as calm as her.

It's not a good thing to be called for questioning at this time.

The cold wind was blowing, which made the little girls even more confused.

When He Yameng was taken away, Han Xiangzhi got the news immediately, "Why are you with her? Could it be that she did it?"

Sun Liangran naturally knew that Han Xiangzhi was talking about Lin Youyi, "What shall we do now?"

"Find out the news first, and see why they were called in for something." Han Xiangzhi said.

Wang Shuyan, who lived in the main hall, saw Lin Youyi and others being summoned by the Palace of Compassion, and knew that the embroidery had been discovered, so she was in a good mood and asked the maid Yun Qi to bring boiling water.

She opened the Biluochun that she brought from home, and invited the beautiful girls such as He Jiayuan, Yao Tiao, Fu Rong and so on to taste it together.

I couldn't help thinking to myself, what kind of punishment would Lin Youyi and others receive? Tian Shuhui and Liu Li were implicated because they made friends carelessly.

Seeing that Lin Youyi's expression remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, Tian Shuhui asked quietly, "How sure are you?"

"Seventy percent."

Suddenly Tian Shuhui didn't worry anymore, facing the Queen Mother, she was [-]% sure to retire successfully, which is already very powerful.

Not only was she not worried, she walked with more momentum.

Lin Youyi looked at Tian Shuhui's changes, with a bright smile on her lips. Tian Shuhui trusted her so much. Although it was a little inexplicable, it felt good to be trusted.

When they arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the maids went in to inform them, and soon the Queen Mother invited them in.

When the five of them entered, they immediately felt a wave of warmth sweeping over their bodies, making them unable to help but relax, but they couldn't relax all the time, so, after a short while, their little faces turned red.

The Compassion Ning Palace is decorated with carved beams, resplendent and solemn, and it is far from being comparable to the Chuxiu Palace.

The empress dowager sat on the top seat with a tense expression, Jingyi was standing beside her, Mingshang Palace, Cui Shanggong, and Anshang Palace stood respectfully in a row, not daring to glance at each other, seven or eight court ladies were a little further away place, head bowed.

There is a pile of embroidery in front of several Shanggongs. It is not necessary to guess that the ones embroidered by the beautiful women are just today.

The entire hall was silent, and the beautiful women walked like beating drums in their hearts, each time getting heavier.

After the guiding maid finished her reply, Lin Youyi stepped forward slowly, straightened her sleeves very calmly, and then knelt down and bowed with a big salute.

There is no mistake in the whole movement, and the form and behavior are also calm and decent.

Tian Shuhui and the other four followed suit and followed suit, but He Yameng and Yan Danchen were not of high status, and these etiquettes were not well learned and nervous, and they were quite flustered.

Ming Shanggong sized up the five people without any trace, and his eyes stayed on Lin Youyi. He was surprised that she was so calm, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

The three of Lin Youyi were ordered by Wang Shuyan, while Jiang Yameng and Yan Danchen were chosen by her at will, so that they seemed less deliberate.

The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on Lin Youyi, her complexion improved slightly, "Get up."

The five hurriedly thanked the Queen Mother.

Sister Jingyi said: "I called you here today because there is a problem with the embroidery you submitted. Originally, you were about to be sent out of the palace, but since you are both entering the palace for the first time, the empress dowager is kind-hearted. , allowing you a chance to defend yourself."

After Aunt Jingyi finished speaking, a court lady came over with a tray containing five people's embroidery.

When the five people saw it, their faces paled in fright. The embroidery seemed to have been picked up after being dropped into the mud. It was dirty on the outside. It was disrespectful to the Empress Dowager to present it to the Empress Dowager. No wonder the Empress Dowager was angry.

Jiang Yameng was trembling, and knelt down again, "Going back to the Empress Dowager, this is not the case when the slaves hand things over to the maids. The slaves would never dare to insult the Empress with such things, please be careful."

Yan Danchen also reacted, knelt down and explained, the rhetoric was similar to that of Jiang Yameng.

Liu Li was not very good at talking, and looked eagerly at Tian Shuhui who was at the side.

Although Tian Shuhui was nervous, her thinking was still very clear.

She knelt down in a dignified manner, "I would like to tell the empress dowager that this servant has no talent, but the embroidery work is still eye-catching. Knowing that this embroidery will be delivered to you, this servant hurriedly embroidered it within a day." Two pieces of embroidery, if the maidservants have such bad intentions, they will definitely not only stain one piece of embroidery." After Tian Shuhui finished speaking, she put her head on the ground, very respectful.

After hearing this, the queen mother was quite surprised: "You embroidered two pieces? Ming Shang Palace?"

Ming Shanggong's heart skipped a beat, "After the maids collected the embroidery, the servants only had time to check if there was any problem, so they forgot to count the quantity for a while."

The fact is that she was too busy changing the embroidery, she didn't have time to count at all, besides, one embroidery a day for one person was the limit, she never expected that there would be people who could embroider two.

"Go and find your own embroidery." The queen mother said this to Tian Shuhui.

Aunt Jingyi arranged for the maid to count the number of embroidery works.

"Yes." Tian Shuhui quickly found the round crane fan she embroidered in the embroidery, and found the lotus purse from the dirty embroidery.

The Empress Dowager summoned Anshang Palace, and Anshang Palace carefully compared, "Looking at the stitches and embroidery method, it seems to be done by one person."

Soon, the palace lady also returned the count. There were 94 pieces of embroidery in total, and there were 86 beautiful women, so there were [-] more pieces of embroidery.

The uneasiness in Ming Shanggong's heart gradually expanded.

"Why are there so many more embroidery?" asked the Queen Mother.

Tian Shuhui replied: "Each of the eight beautiful women in Xiulixuan in the back hall showed two pictures."

Ming Shanggong finally found a chance to speak: "In order to attract the attention of the empress dowager, you have worked hard."

The Empress Dowager's complexion darkened, and she had seen a lot of methods of fighting for favor, but she never thought that these beautiful women would be so scheming after entering the palace, no matter what their status, they would definitely not tolerate it.

A tense atmosphere spread throughout the hall, He Yameng and Yan Danchen trembled, Liu Li looked panicked.
