Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 103 The Princess's Craftsmanship

"A token?"

Xiang Yingxue never thought about this.

"That's right, when boys and girls in our Chu country make love, they all give tokens of love. Right, Xiaotao?"

In order to prove that what he said was true, Xiaoju took Xiaotao with him who was folding the quilt.

"Of course."

Xiao Tao beside the bed turned around and said with a smile: "This love token is a reassurance and thought that lovers give each other, but it is indispensable."

"That's it."

Xiang Yingxue nodded thoughtfully.

After a while, he said easily: "This is not simple. After returning to the palace, just pick one of the rare treasures and send someone to the border town."

"That won't work."

After Xiaoju combed her hair into a bun, she carefully pinned the white jade hairpin on Xiang Yingxue's head.

"The Zhou family is one of the most famous families in Chu State. Master Jing has no shortage of rare treasures. If the princess wants to give something away, she must give something that Young Master Jing wants most."

"What does Brother Zhou Jing want?"

Xiang Yingxue looked up at Xiaoju in confusion.

Xiaoju hadn't put on all the hair accessories yet, so she quickly straightened her tilted head, looked at the bronze mirror, and inserted another golden walking stick.

"Of course it is something made by the princess herself."

"Did it by hand?"

Xiang Yingxue thought for a moment, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Didn't my father say that the food I cook is more delicious than what the imperial chef cooks? I can cook some side dishes for Brother Zhou Jing!"

"Princess!"

Xiao Tao, who had finished making the bed, also came over, looked left and right, and put some rouge on her face.

"The side dishes are gone after you finish them, but they can't be considered as tokens. The tokens are the thoughts left by the lover's side, and they should be something that can be worn with you. Hmm..."

Xiao Tao tilted her head and thought for a while: "How about the princess give Master Jing a sachet like an ordinary boudoir girl?" "Yes, give a sachet!"

Xiaoju agrees very much.

"The princess's dancing and embroidery are considered outstanding in our country. Who doesn't know this? If Master Jing can receive the sachet made by the princess, he will definitely be happy."

"Forget it."

Xiang Yingxue pouted.

"Others don't know about my craftsmanship, but you two don't know it yet? Every time Aunt Liu asks me to complete the work for a female celebrity, isn't it Xiao Tao who secretly does it for me?"

She supported her face with her hands and sighed: "If the young master of Caiyi Pavilion hadn't made good friends with the emperor and took one of my embroidery pieces to display in the shop, there wouldn't be Princess Yingxue's embroidery skills in the capital. In other words, I don’t have to ask Xiao Tao to embroider some things every year and take them out to deceive people all over the world."

"my princess."

Xiao Tao smiled: "Every time Master Jing sees you, his eyes almost fall off. He doesn't care what your embroidery looks like. As long as it is made by you, he will treat it like a treasure. Besides, Embroidery is very simple, the princess is so smart, she can learn it as soon as she learns it."

"Then why couldn't I learn it before?"

She blinked and glanced at the two enthusiastic matchmakers.

Xiaoju thought for a while: "In the past, the princess was too lazy to learn because she didn't need it, but now for Master Jing, the princess can do well with a little effort."

Xiang Yingxue also thinks this is true.

Besides, what is embroidery and not embroidery? Isn’t it just sewing something? No matter how difficult it is, it can’t be any more difficult.

Brother Zhou Jing has done so many things for himself. If a small sachet can make him happy, it is worth the hard work to learn.

Seeing that the princess had been told the truth, Little Jue Xiaotao happily went out and prepared cloth, colored threads and spices.

Xiaotao took one step, and Xiang Yingxue followed suit.

Just after embroidering half of the mandarin duck's head, Xiang Yingxue became impatient.

"Didn't you say it was very simple? Why did it take so long to embroider just a little bit?"

She compared her embroidery with Xiao Tao's and found that the steps were exactly the same, and her embroidery looked like a weird pheasant.
