Double-faced prince and concubine

In order to improve the status of cross-stitch in people's eyes and to prove that cross-stitch is also worthy of attention, Xia Yue'er decided to embroider a large pair of cross-stitch and give it away as a birthday present when the village elder celebrates his birthday.

After Xia Yueer finished the fabric, she invited a painter who could draw a picture of peonies on the blank base fabric, and named it Huakai Fugui.

In the beginning, Xia Yueer was full of energy, embroidering under the lamp every night, claiming that it could be done in a month.But three months have passed, and the embroidered flowers have not been halfway through.

The next day, Xia Yue'er found a special time to draw the cartoon pattern that became more and more good at drawing on a piece of white paper, and carefully painted it with color, so that the colored cartoon picture looked more beautiful.

This painting was handed over to Qingqiu, who put it in her silk embroidery box and embroidered it on the clothes when she was going to make new clothes for Jing Er and Yuan Hao.

But I don't know why, after a few days, the piece of paper disappeared, and Qingqiu searched the house but couldn't find it.

It's just a piece of paper, just draw another one, so Xia Yueer drew a new one, no one cared where the missing piece of paper went.

By accident, the piece of paper reached the embroiderer of Dongyufang.

Seeing that today's fabric art competition is just around the corner, Dong Yu Fang has not yet selected the fabric art for the competition.

The fabrics of Dongyufang can be obtained in terms of materials, but the fabrics produced are obviously inferior to those of Jinxiufang.When everyone was scratching their heads and thinking about what innovations to make this year, the embroiderer took out the patterns drawn by Xia Yueer. These patterns are very fresh and exquisite, and might attract people's attention.

Thus, there was the pattern that Zhongli Ruixuan saw in the cloth art competition.

***

"Prince Rui, in front of you is one of our old stores in Yin County in East Corner Square."

Liu Yu, the second head of Dongyufang, who accompanied Zhongli Ruixuan to find Xiuniang, pointed to the front of the street.

The fabric art selected by Dongyufang to participate in the fabric art competition was embroidered by Liu Xie's embroiderer, so he accompanied Zhongli Ruixuan to find the embroiderer.

Zhongli Ruixuan is no stranger to Hexing City, which is only [-] miles away from Yincheng. Every year he comes to inspect Yin County, the second largest city in Yin County, to see how the situation here is.

In the past, when there was no apportionment from the emperor, Zhongli Ruixuan would live in Yincheng for two or three months to deal with local affairs, and would often visit various residences.When he was not here, matters concerning the fief that required him to decide were all sent to Prince Rui's Mansion in Fulin City in the form of documents, and after he finished handling them, he sent someone to send them back.

Seeing the flag of "Dongyufang" waving in the wind from a distance, Zhongli Ruixuan slowed down his horse, thinking that he would see Xia Yue'er soon, he felt uneasy.

Five years, five years!

I don't know what Xia Yueer looks like now, is she married to someone else?

I don't know if his child is a boy or a girl, looks like Xia Yue'er or him?

"My lord, my lord?"

Seeing that Zhongli Ruixuan was a little distracted, Liu Xi yelled twice, pointed to the courtyard in front of him and said, "My lord, we are here, please come inside."

Liu Xie invited Zhongli Ruixuan in, served the best tea, and at the same time asked someone to find the embroiderer.

When it was time for a cup of tea, Xiu Niang came, and walked up to Zhongli Ruixuan to salute in a charming manner.

"Little girl Qi Xiaohui has met Prince Rui, the prince is auspicious."

Qi Xiaohui is quite pretty, she heard that Prince Rui appointed someone to see the embroidery pattern, she thought that Prince Rui was very proud of her craftsmanship, maybe she could get Prince Rui's favor by relying on those peculiar patterns.

Seeing that it wasn't Xia Yueer, Zhongli Ruixuan was very disappointed, but asked her seriously: "Who made the pattern on the cloth art?"

Qi Xiaohui half raised her eyes and half winked and replied: "Reporting to the lord, it was made by the little girl herself."

"My lord must listen to the truth!" Zhongli Ruixuan's tone was displeased.

"Yes...it was indeed made by the little girl herself." Qi Xiaohui replied fearlessly.

"Wang Wen you, do you know what it's called?" Zhongli Ruixuan pulled the work from the cloth art competition and asked, pointing to the beautiful sheep on it.

"Yes, it's a sheep..."

Qi Xiaohui didn't have enough confidence. When she was embroidering these patterns, she had been thinking about what these patterns were. Looking at the appearance of the beautiful sheep, she should be right to guess that it was a sheep.

"That's right, it's a sheep!" Zhongli Ruixuan nodded, and then asked, "What's the name of this sheep?"

What is your name?What is the name of a sheep? !

Qi Xiaohui couldn't answer.

Zhongli Ruixuan sneered, pointed to the pattern on it and said, "Let me tell you! This sheep is called Beautiful Goat, the one next to it is called Xi Yangyang, and this wolf in red coat is called Red Wolf. Beat this wolf, called Hui Tailang, who is the husband of Red Wolf, and this little wolf, named Xiao Huihui, is their son!"

"My lord, how do you know this?" Qi Xiaohui was very surprised.

Liu Yu, who was standing beside him, was also stunned.It turned out that Prince Rui recognized these patterns, no wonder he was so excited and insisted on looking for an embroiderer who embroidered these patterns.

Zhongli Ruixuan snorted, and said slowly: "There is only one person in the world who can draw these patterns, and her name is Xia Yue'er, and she is my concubine!"

"what--"

Qi Xiaohui and Liu Yu screamed at the same time, their jaws almost fell to the ground in surprise.

These patterns were created by Princess Rui, no wonder Prince Rui recognized them!

"Now, you can say, where did these patterns come from?" Zhongli Ruixuan looked at Qi Xiaohui and asked in a cold voice.

Qi Xiaohui lowered her head and said honestly: "Yes. These patterns are taken from cousin Bufang in Sishan Town."

"Sishan Town?" Zhongli Ruixuan frowned slightly.

It was a remote town surrounded by mountains, so it got the name Four Mountains Town.

Zhongli Ruixuan went to Sishan Town again, found the cousin of Bufang mentioned by Qi Xiaohui, and asked about it. When Miss Bufang went to Liujia Village to buy cloth embroidery, she caught a glimpse of this blueprint at Qingqiu's house. She looked strange and fresh, and secretly took it. , sent someone to Qi Xiaohui to solve her troubles about fabric patterns.

Liu Family Village?Zhongli Ruixuan never imagined that Xia Yueer would hide in such a remote village as Liujia Village.

Hearing Qingqiu's name, Zhongli Ruixuan can be sure that he will not make another mistake this time.

From Fulincheng, the imperial capital, to Yincheng, then to Hexingcheng, and then to Sishan Town, they came all the way, and finally they got something!

Liujia Village is not far away!

***

Dongzi went to help the owner of the cloth workshop to receive the goods, Qingqiu and Xia Yueer both went to the field to pick mulberry leaves, Jing'er and Yuan Hao were the only ones at home, and they were playing outside in the yard.

The two took a bamboo pole to poke the overripe red persimmons on the persimmon tree, but they couldn't poke them down.

Jing'er threw the bamboo pole away, and climbed up the tree by himself: "Little brother, you watch from below, and I will go up and pick it off."

"A little higher, a little higher, almost caught--"

Yuan Hao was under the tree, watching Jing Er's hand was about to grab the red persimmon, and told her to climb higher.

"what--"

Just as Jing'er grabbed the persimmon, the branch she was holding suddenly broke, and Jing'er quickly fell down.
