The concubine lifted the table, the prince was too rampant

169: Appointment at the birthday banquet, Zijinguan Jinghua 2 The birthday banquet was very lively, but it was the first moment of the time, and the entire princess mansion was already full of excitement, men and women were different, and there were banquets in the inner and outer courtyards. Zijin respected from the beginning to the end Standing respectfully by the eldest princess's side to serve, and quietly listening to the eldest princess chatting with these famous ladies, Du Manqiu can also act. At this time, she cooperates very well with the eldest princess. Contradictions between Ping's wives, Zijin handed tea at the right time when the eldest princess was drinking tea, and handed it over with a silver stick when eating melons and fruits. Just right, neither flattering nor unfamiliar, everything is just right, occasionally when the eldest princess talks to her, or when people present ask her questions, Zi Jin can answer just right, neither appearing humble nor ignorant. It seemed that he was insolent, and it was precisely because of this that everyone present became more and more curious about Zi Jin.

"I heard that the Third Young Madam is the best embroidery artist in Kyoto. I don't know what gift I sent to Her Royal Highness today. Did she embroider the screen with her own hands?"

The whole room was silent with one word, everyone here knew that Zi Jin had just married Ye Mingxuan not long ago, and Princess Xuanhe's birthday was coming up, even if she wanted to send it off, she might not be able to make it out, such an impolite inquiry is clearly a I want to see Zijin's jokes.After all, the root of Zijin's fame is that Liyue Longmen married Ye Mingxuan, and it was spread in the capital with her outstanding embroidery work earlier.

Zi Jin raised her head to look at the person who was speaking, but she was a young girl in her twenties, wearing a peach red dress, she was very charming, she looked at her with big eyes, as if she didn't know that what she said would make Zi Jin feel ashamed. How ugly, just asking purely out of curiosity.This person was introduced by the eldest princess just now, it is Yan Ci, the eldest daughter of Marquis An Shun, and Yan Ci is Luo Jue's close friend, so she came out on behalf of her friend.

Princess Xuanhe looked at Zijin with a smile and didn't intend to stop her at all. The eldest princess has great confidence in Zijin. If such a small problem stumps Zijin, then she really missed her. Thinking of the previous few times In the confrontation between Zi Jin and Chu Chen, the eldest princess smiled lightly, no matter what Zi Jin decides or says, as a mother-in-law, she will support her.

The three Du Manqiu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just looked at Zi Jin with 'goodwill' smiles, and the rest of the people saw that the members of Ye's family were not outstanding, so they all thought that Zi Jin was not taken seriously in Ye's family, so they became more and more eager to watch the excitement. To be more serious, Zijin can naturally feel the eyes of all kinds in the hall, embarrassing herself, this is just what Zijin expected.

This Miss Yan doesn't seem like the kind of person who has a lot of thoughts. If she can ask such a question like this, she must be instigated by someone behind her back. Thinking of this, Zi Jin's eyes seem to glance over the cold Mrs. Duke, I saw that she was sitting next to Mrs. Anshunhou, she lowered her eyebrows and did not look at Zi Jin.

Zi Jin laughed silently, and then turned her gaze to Yan Ci.To talk about it, in fact, all this happened in the blink of an eye, Zi Jin said softly, "Miss Yan has won the award, and Zi Jin dare not accept the praise of being the best embroidery artist in Kyoto, but it is because she has done more embroidery work freely. I like it quite a bit, so I put some efforts in this aspect, if Guan Jingdu is naturally the embroidery workshop secretary in the palace, Zi Jin would not dare to sit in a well and watch the sky and speak loudly."

These words neither belittle her own embroidery skills, nor look arrogantly at anyone, but only admit that she is not as good as the embroiderers in the palace, as for the others... Zi Jin feels that she is still slightly better.In this way, there is no disrespect for the royal family, and no self-abasedness. As soon as this sentence came out, several ladies looked at Zi Jin with sharp eyes and admiration.

For a family like theirs, birthday presents to the master's family are always given by the head, in the name of the Pingbei Houfu.But the eldest princess and Princess Xuanhe are still sisters, and they are both princesses, so they will give a separate copy. It is because of this difference that Yan Ci asked this question.

Zi Jin paused, then laughed again: "Your Highness, the princess, I have never seen any rare treasures before. How could Zi Jin's embroidery work come into my eyes? Not long after Zi Jin entered the Hou's mansion, it happened to be the princess's birthday, so I don't have time I embroidered a large screen for Her Highness the Princess, but I also embroidered a handkerchief of blessings and longevity overnight, it is not expensive, but it is just Zi Jin's mentality, please forgive me, Your Highness the Princess."

Even the eldest princess was taken aback, Zi Jin came prepared, Yan Ci's face flushed immediately, but she still said stiffly: "What's so strange about a handkerchief."

Zi Jin didn't speak, just took out a small brocade box filled with red peonies from the armhole, walked forward slowly a few steps, stood beside Princess Xuanhe, and then offered it up with both hands.Princess Xuanhe smiled and said, "You really have a heart."

Pun!

Zi Jin naturally understood the deep meaning of this, probably because Princess Xuanhe didn't expect that Zi Jin could even prepare this properly in case someone made trouble.At this time, Zi Jin pretended to be a little embarrassed and said: "I wanted to give it to the princess when there was no one else. After all, the gift is lighter, but since Miss Yan asked, I had no choice but to make a fool of myself. I also ask Your Royal Highness to forgive me."

Having said that, Princess Xuanhe couldn't say anything.I thought in my heart that it was just a handkerchief of Fushoulu. The images of Fushoulu had already been embroidered to be tacky. What could be new, no matter how good the embroidery was, it was just a handkerchief.It's just that since Zijin took it out in public, he had no choice but to open it openly. After all, he had to give Princess Xuanhua face, even though the two disagreed privately, they still had to leave.I had no choice but to smile, and opened the brocade box with my own hands.

After Princess Xuanhe opened the box, she was taken aback. Everyone was a little curious when they saw Princess Xuanhe's expression, and wanted to know what was so strange about the embroidered handkerchief in the box?For a while, there were whispers among each other, obviously extremely curious.

Princess Xuanhe raised her head and took a look at Zijin, only to see that Zijin was still standing straight with her back straight, with a gentle smile on her face, as if nothing could change this little girl, Such stability...the work done is so shocking...

"I don't know what the third young lady is like, even our birthday star is so surprised, can your highness make us look good?" Mrs. Shouchangbo was speaking, and Zijin's fourth sister, Yao Yutang, belonged to Mrs. Shouchangbo's family. Nephew and daughter-in-law, so she is also related to the Yao family. At this time, Zijin has become more prestigious. Relatives actually help each other in this way, not to mention that Zijin's natal family is now in full swing, even her husband's family is also so prominent. , and Shou Changbo are also relatives-in-law, so they will naturally help each other at this time.

When Mrs. Shouchangbo said this, many people echoed her, and the hall became lively again. Princess Xuanhe really didn't want Zijin to be so sharp, but she was really surprised when she saw it. I had to force a smile, and reached out to take out the handkerchief from the brocade box. At this time, my face was replaced with a pleasant smile, and I looked at everyone and said, "It's really ingenious, I've seen all kinds of handkerchiefs. , I’ve never seen anything like this, take a look.”

The nurse next to Princess Xuanhe took the veil and stood in the center of the hall and spread it out. Everyone is very familiar with the pattern of Fushoulu, usually a cute and amiable old birthday star, holding a deer with a stick, and a gourd hanging on the end of the stick. Holding a fairy peach in his hand, bats are flying around him.Bats, deer, gourds, and fairy peaches respectively imply good fortune and longevity.

Generally, it is not unusual to embroider with multicolored silk threads, but Zi Jin's handkerchief is strange because it does not seem to be embroidered with multicolored silk threads, and it looks brighter than silk threads, so someone After discussing, someone asked: "This doesn't seem to be embroidered with silk thread, but it looks shiny and shiny, but it looks like small beads made of pearls and jade."

Ordinary people also have specially polished small beads for embroidery, commonly known as bead embroidery, but there are no such small beads as on Zijin handkerchiefs, so I am curious.

Princess Xuanhe looked at Zijin and asked, "I'm also very curious, what are these things of yours?"

Zi Jin smiled lightly, and then replied: "Returning to Your Highness, these are actually ordinary beads, but Zi Jin's beads are polished smaller and have more colors, so the embroidered work is more delicate." This is true. This picture of blessings, longevity and wealth only uses dozens of colors. It is not easy to find beads of so many colors, and some of them are dyed by Zijin Zijin with flower juice and dyes. Of course This secret will not be told to everyone.

Hearing Zi Jin's explanation, everyone felt that there was nothing unusual about it, it was made of ordinary beads that were polished to a smaller size, and then made into bead embroidery. The main reason is that the color is really bright and the embroidery is excellent. It made everyone surprised.

Zi Jin knew that these people would have such an expression, so she didn't care. Seeing that the nanny was about to put away the handkerchief, she continued: "The most surprising thing about this square handkerchief is not the beaded embroidery, It's on the back of the veil."

As soon as this remark came out, the nanny holding the veil was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zi Jin in amazement, but she turned over the veil in public, and everyone exclaimed, looking at Zi Jin in amazement, Unexpectedly, on the back of the veil was a little boy looking up, and the direction he was looking up was the bat hovering around the old birthday star on the other side of the veil, because the veil was made of silk, which was extremely thin and transparent, welcoming As soon as the sun unfolded, it was the bats that followed the boy's eyes. There is a folk saying that the boy is looking forward to the Gospel.

Just unfolded the other side, but because of the big size of Shou Xing, he completely covered the boy behind him, and the people didn't realize that the veil had another world. When they turned it over at this time, everyone was amazed that it was double-sided embroidered. What surprised everyone even more.Double-sided embroidery is not uncommon. Basically, double-sided embroidery should have the same size difference between the two sides, but Zijin's pair is obviously different in size. So... where did the extra silk thread hide?

The most important thing about the excellence of embroidery is that others cannot see through your stitches. Zi Jin used her excellent female celebrity to finally win the first step among the ladies in the room. You must know that women can have outstanding stitches. Female celebrities are even more likable than you who know poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, otherwise why would the female workers focus on female workers.

Women have to keep their duty. The four items of virtue, appearance and merit, Zi Jin has been recognized by everyone for the three items of speech, appearance, and merit. As for the item of virtue, this cannot be judged overnight. Zi Jin knows that there is still a long way to go in the future. .

Zi Jin came prepared, and this strike was the sound of thunder. In the light wind and drizzle, everyone had to remember that the third young lady of the Pingbei Hou's family was so beautiful in embroidery. Talking about being a low-key person and doing things in a high-key way, Zi Jin knows that people will mention her whenever they mention needlework in the future, and she has left an indelible impression on them, and this handkerchief may become a stunning beauty in everyone's eyes , because they didn't know what method they used to hide the thread, and it was because they didn't know that they became legends. Zi Jin worked hard to learn embroidery skills because of this day, she will become everyone's eyes. An insurmountable legend.

The more you look down on me and my background, the more I am better than you, so that you will never be able to solve this secret. Only a secret that cannot be solved can become a legend for generations to come.

Others look at her very beautifully, but who knows how many times she pricked her fingers, how many nights she stayed up, how many ancient relics she searched for in order to train female workers, and how much she paid to gain so much. This is an eternal truth .

Su Sanniang, a Su embroiderer in the former dynasty, could sell tens of thousands of taels of silver for a pair of embroidered screens. That skill is beyond the reach of many embroiderers.Just when everyone was still surprised, there was a sudden laughter at the door: "There was Su Sanniang in the previous dynasty (chao), and Yao Zijin in the present (zhao). Princess Yi was still arguing that she must see her cousin, but she didn't expect that the screens in the past few years hadn't been played enough, and now you have such a good job, Princess Shunyi may wish to tie you by her side. Alright, when I enter the palace, I will listen to her talking about you, my ears are calloused."

Zi Jin raised her head and looked at the person who came, with a dazed expression on her face, she didn't know this person.The real red tapestry is full of peonies and peonies, a lake green Hunan skirt with eighteen pieces of one year scenery, the head is combed in a bun, and the hairpin is a red gold inlaid treasure five-tailed big pearl hairpin. Looking closely, Zi Jin felt that this face was somewhat familiar... as if he had seen it somewhere before, a face suddenly flashed in his mind, Qin Wenluo... the one in front of him must be, Zi Jin was coming towards him Renfu saluted: "I have seen Princess Lian."

Ye Qinghan looked at this Zijin carefully. This is the fifth girl of the Yao family who made her silly son and nephew very fond of it. It really looks as bright as a blue cloud covering the moon, and as fluttering as the wind. Snow, slender and small steps, exquisite and unparalleled in the world, such a wonderful person like ice and snow, Ye Qinghan fell in love with Zijin at the first sight, some people are just the same kind of people, they like it without reason, especially Princess Lian People with such a temperament, if they like it, they like it, and if they hate it, they hate it.

"Get up, get up, it's no wonder that Mingxuan's child is like getting a treasure when he marries a daughter-in-law. If I want to protect her as an eyeball." Princess Lian's words are amazing, and there are some things that the eldest princess who is a mother-in-law can't say, but Princess Lian, who is an aunt, can tell, so the eldest princess sent a letter to Princess Lian in advance, asking her to take care of her daughter-in-law.

This soft sentence is telling everyone how Ye Mingxuan loves Yao Zijin, and also telling everyone that she is covering her, and anyone who doesn't want to step on Zijin has to look at his own ability .As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed greatly, and the eyes looking at Zi Jin became a little more eager.

King Lian is the younger brother of the Holy Majesty, who holds a lot of power, and stomping his feet is a figure who shakes the capital, but this King Lian has the biggest problem, which is fear of internal affairs!

Prince Lian’s mansion doesn’t mean that the concubine’s concubine’s concubine’s house is a public house. I don’t know how many people are envious of Princess Lian. Of course, there are all kinds of rumors about Princess Lian in the streets and alleys. There are those who admire, what this jealous woman did is really enviable, that Prince Lian is even more interesting, it is said that he also suffered a lot in order to marry Princess Lian, and he encountered a lot of bad luck with Mrs. Ye. Obedient to his words, the virtue of fearing his wife like a tiger, even the current emperor once sighed, "Don't say you are my younger brother outside."

But King Lian laughed loudly: "Unless you let me reincarnate, everyone in the world knew about it decades ago."

Therefore, this has also become a joke. King Lian is afraid that even the emperor has nothing to do, who dares to make irresponsible remarks, so Princess Lian is the most enviable woman in the world.

Zi Jin didn't expect that Princess Lian would be so free and easy, let alone speak so directly, what she didn't expect was that she would protect herself like this, stood up in a daze, her hand was already held by Princess Lian In the middle of the night, she turned her head to look at the eldest princess and said: "I really regret that I died, I regretted that I died. I shouldn't have given you such a good daughter-in-law at the beginning. You must have known her since you met Jin girl in advance. Well, but kept it from me, and told me that your family has already married with the Yao family, if I see this girl, even if you proposed marriage first, I will snatch her back."

The eldest princess pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Why are you so poor at this time, Zi Jin is already my wife, let Wen Luo find another good one."

Everyone was horrified, and looked at Zi Jin with more scrutiny. Princess Lian actually fell in love with Zi Jin at the beginning, but she let go because the eldest princess took the lead. Everyone knows that the relationship between the sister-in-law and sister-in-law is good. Unanimously so.

Zijin's face was full of horror, and she hurriedly lowered her head and said nothing. She didn't expect Qin Wenluo to still have that kind of thought for her in this life. Didn't Qin Wenluo and Yao Zijin pair up in the previous life? This damn complicated relationship made Zijin feel a little nervous. I became nervous, and felt that Princess Lian was scalding me while holding my hand.

Du Manqiu frowned slightly angrily, and then covered it up in a blink of an eye. She didn't expect Princess Lian to like Yao Zijin so much, and it was another accident. Ever since Zijin was asked to enter the door, it seemed that accidents had been happening all the time, Wanquan was out of control.Not to mention that the eldest princess was protecting her, Princess Lian was protecting her, even Princess Shunyi in the palace was wondering if she did something wrong, and she should have tried her best to stop this marriage in the first place.

The arrival of Princess Lian made Zijin fully understand the status of powerful people. Even Princess Xuanhe kept smiling at Princess Lian, pretending to be intimate, and kept talking to Princess Lian. Zijin took advantage of the situation and returned to the princess. Next to her, the banquet started after a while, the eldest princess naturally sat on the chief seat, and Zijin sat at the table with the Chu family and the Shen family. They also had Yan Ci who had just made trouble at the table, and several other members of the Duke's family. Miss, Zijin is not very familiar with her, but she has a good impression of one of them, Qin Suxue from Pingyang Hou's family, the two of them are sitting next to each other, they have a somewhat speculative temperament, and they get along very well.

After a meal, there was a feeling of pity. After the meal, everyone went outside to listen to the opera facing the water flower pavilion. Zijin wanted to serve in front of the eldest princess, but the eldest princess let her sit and rest to listen to the opera. , Zi Jin declined, but then sat aside, did not expect Qin Suxue to be next to her, it was another coincidence, the two looked at each other and smiled, very happy.

Halfway through the pause, Qin Suxue wanted to go to the toilet, so she took Zijin to be her companion. On the stage, Ma/Gu Xianshou sang Zhenghuan, and no one noticed the two of them. Under the guidance of the little girl, the two of them finished their toilet , After cleaning my hands, I walked back slowly.Qin Suxue said in a low voice: "Let's walk slowly, the Yiyi on the stage is so noisy."

"I can clearly see that you like it very much." Zi Jin teased, but Qin Suxue sighed: "If you don't like it, you should like it. Any girl and wife who can't listen to opera will be laughed at."

Hearing the helplessness in the words, Zijin felt the same in her heart, and said: "You can turn dislike into like, and you won't feel tired."

Qin Suxue looked at Zijin, and said in a muffled voice: "I've heard your name before, and at that time I was thinking that you were famous for your embroidery skills in Kyoto when you were young, so how old did you have to be to start taking needles? You are so curious, my mother often said that you are too old to embroider a bird, look at the five girls of the Yao family who are all famous in Kyoto."

Zi Jin laughed, looked at Qin Suxue and asked very seriously: "Then you should hate me very much."

"That's not true, I just feel that you are not human, how can you hold the needle so thin and slippery and still embroider beautiful patterns." Qin Suxue ran forward holding the corner of her skirt.

Zijin came back to her senses, and hurriedly chased after her. Fortunately, there was no one in the garden, and they all went to listen to the play, and said: "Well, you little hoof dares to say that I am not human. Let's see how I catch you and punish you." ..."

After all, they were not in their own garden. After chasing the two of them, they lost their way. Zi Jin was also a road idiot. Looking at Qin Suxue, she asked, "Where are we now? It seems that we didn't come this way when we came here. If you knew, you shouldn’t have sent that girl who led the way away.”

Qin Suxue's face turned pale suddenly, and she was about to pull Zi Jin away when Zi Jin felt that Zi Jin's sleeves were suddenly pulled by Ran, and a pleasantly surprised voice came from behind: "Ah Ruo? A Ruo, you finally came back!"

The second male supporting role has come out, who is this person?Zijin's nightmare...continue tomorrow...I love you all!The monthly ticket will be doubled on the 28th tomorrow, dear friends, don’t forget to meet on the 28th, and I will try my best to update it tomorrow... There are also recommendations...
