It was a beautiful autumn day, so the queen set the venue in a small garden. Different from the majestic and dignified imperial garden, the small garden is more like the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. It is exquisite and small, and every part is as lovely as the jade of Xiaojia.

Most of the girls are young, chatting and laughing, and it is easy to pass the time. The only minor commotion was when they were discussing how to embroider begonia petals. The daughter of the Qiu family said that the daughter of the Meng family was clumsy.

They all used long and short needle embroidery, but Mrs. Meng used a base and dense embroidery method.

The little girl of the Qiu family has always been famous among the noble girls in the capital for her superb embroidery skills, so she warned: "Too heavy stitches will make the petals lose their flexibility. The thickening of the base is really superfluous."

The people present were all girls who had been raised and raised at home. Mrs. Qiu had humiliated Mrs. Meng in public. How could Mrs. Meng swallow her anger? She immediately threw down her embroidery studio to argue with her.

The two of them were originally focused on embroidery work, so it was normal for them to have a small dispute.

But as she spoke, Lady Meng began to laugh at Lady Qiu’s marriage:

"You, the Qiu family, are already in high esteem with the young master of the Xie family, but you still don't know it. You always put on a high profile and point your fingers at others. Is that why Mr. Xie insists on breaking off the engagement with you?"

These words may have hurt Madam Qiu. Madam Qiu was not one to swallow her anger, so she immediately retorted:

"Then you are fine? You haven't decided on a family yet at Shuangba's age. You don't care about anyone's son. Look at how you are dressed today. You even specially did this encrypted embroidery method to be different from us. Isn’t it just that I heard that girls from the Zhao family and the Lin family were promoted to concubines?”

The girl's originally hidden thoughts were torn apart and aired in front of everyone. Mrs. Meng's face was flushed with shame.

She stood angrily for a while, then rolled up her sleeves and came to the Queen to say goodbye.

"Your Majesty, my little girl is not feeling well. I would like to leave first." The queen was about to agree, but then she seemed to think of Shen Yingxia, who was embroidering magnolias next to her.

"I originally thought that everyone would gather together and be lively today. But now it has become my fault. Madam Shen, what do you think of this matter?"

Shen Yingxia was impatient to get along with these pretentious girls. She originally planned to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but she didn't expect the Queen to directly name them. This is the Queen's test.

Shen Yingxia put down the embroidery booth in her hands and felt blessed:

"Go back to your Majesty. Yingxia thinks that all the girls here are not aware of your Majesty's good intentions. It's just that there are inevitably quarrels between the little girls. How can you attribute the fault to the banquet organized by your Majesty?"

As far as she knew, the Qiu family had little relationship with the Meng family. Madam Qiu's advice to Madam Meng was mostly casual and she didn't have any bad intentions.

But both of them were angry. If you want to make the other party angry during a quarrel, you have to go to the most painful and weakest place in the other party's heart. Then they started to speak freely.

Shen Yingxia looked at the two of them and said calmly:

"The flexibility of long and short stitch embroidery, and the delicacy of dense embroidery on the base, both have their own merits. Presumably, Madam Qiu admires flexibility and naturalness, while Madam Meng likes delicacy and ingenuity. There is no superiority or inferiority between these two styles. .

"Yingxia is a little older than her two sisters, so she asked her to tell her. In life, as long as you have to get along with others, the first thing you have to learn is to accept that others are different from you."
