Queen's scheming

Chapter 366 Embroidery Art
The concubines of the harem sat in the main hall of Ningsu Palace, feeling a little uneasy, Shen Qingyi had never been late before, what happened today?But no one dared to ask.

The imperial concubine Duanjing and Mrs. Jinghui, who were in high positions, did not make a sound for the first time, but gathered together, talking about flowers, talking about wealth and prosperity, saying that flowers are blooming and rich, and saying that they are not as good as landscape painting. Concubines, listen to the east and the west, I don't know what the two of them are talking about, but Tang Xiurong, who has always been flamboyant, is silent today. I heard that the fourth prince seems to be seriously ill. , Tang Xiurong, as the biological mother of the Fourth Prince, was unable to visit the Purple Glass Palace. She felt like she was scratching her heart, and she couldn't listen to other things. It's a pity that these young masters sat stiffly, Even the tea has been refilled three times. After waking up so early in the morning, I am full of water.

Shen Qingyi managed to enter the inner hall with great difficulty, and everyone greeted An in fear. No one knew whether Shen Qingyi punished them because of their going to the Magnificent Pavilion, and felt a little embarrassing for a while.

Shen Qingyi looked refreshed, as if she had forgotten everything about the Magnificent Pavilion, but it made the concubines of the Six Palaces a little unsure. She heard that Princess Linglong's horoscope was calculated, and it turned out to be the fate of helping Long Feitian , With such a fate, how dare they let someone from the family marry them, if they are not careful, they will be copied and beheaded by the whole family!But according to this batch of articles, it is imperative for Princess Linglong to enter the palace, and the queen has no reason to be so happy...

All the concubines in the sixth palace felt a severe headache. They really didn't know how to get along with Princess Linglong. Let's get closer, for fear of offending the empress, and walk far away, and fear that one day Princess Linglong will come to power and give them small shoes to wear... …

However, Shen Qingyi ignored the anxiety of the concubines of the Sixth Palace, and only smiled and said: "I have been thinking about the appearance, but I have delayed the time to greet you, and made all the sisters wait for a long time!"

"What did the empress say, concubines should wait for the empress!" Shen Qingyi opened her mouth, and naturally someone stepped forward to cheer her on.

Tang Aoxue twitched the corners of her lips in disdain. Because of the matter of the fourth prince, she did not dare to confront Shen Qingyi head-on. Speaking of which, she was two years older than Shen Qingyi, and she was actually called a younger sister by Shen Qingyi!Tang Aoxue unconsciously hated Mrs. Zhen Guogong. If Mrs. Zhen Guogong could immediately annul her marriage after her sister died and let her enter the palace directly, then what would Shen Qingyi do?But I didn't think about it carefully, even Mi Yurou, the noble concubine of Duanjing Emperor, and the empress dowager's niece only entered the palace as the second-rank concubine, and they have already produced a queen in the Duke's Mansion of the Town, so how could they produce another queen? !
None of the concubines paid any attention to Tang Aoxue's arrogant temper. Seeing Shen Qingyi's high interest, they smiled flatteringly and said, "I don't know what the empress wants to do? Do you want to buy clothes or something? , I have a bit of insight, if the empress does not dislike it, the concubine can give the empress a blow!"

As soon as the concubine's words fell, Imperial Concubine Duanjing and Mrs. Jinghui had smiles in their eyes, staring at Shen Qingyi as if they were enjoying the show.

Shen Qingyi smiled bluntly, pointed at Imperial Concubine Duanjing and Mrs. Jinghui and said: "You two are not afraid of the height of the stage when watching a play! That's all, I can't hide things, since I have pulled Imperial Concubine Duanjing and Jinghui Ma'am, I'll just bring you with me when I come over."

Everyone was a little strange, not knowing what Shen Qingyi, Imperial Concubine Duanjing and Madam Jinghui were doing, so they all turned their eyes to Shen Qingyi.

Shen Qingyi took half of the embroidery of a hundred birds facing the phoenix from Yuji, and said with a smile: "The imperial court will open martial arts, these days the emperor is so busy that he doesn't touch the ground, so I have nothing to do with the emperor. The central government has an errand. One of the top three selected this time is going to guard Yueliang. Although Yueliang has been turned into a territory by Dali, it is more desolate. Then he shamelessly said that he wanted to embroider a screen for the guards and take it there. It happened that the emperor laughed at Ben Gong's embroidery skills, and Ben Gong was not convinced, so he dragged Duanjing and Mrs. Jinghui together, and made an agreement with the emperor, Whoever's embroidered screen is selected by the garrison in the future, the emperor will stay in that palace for three days!"

When all the concubines heard this, their eyes turned into stars, revealing the light of expectation. If the emperor can keep his promise, and if their embroidered screens are chosen by the guards, will the emperor also stay in their palace... …

Shen Qingyi looked at the embroidery in her hands, and said with a smile: "Forget it, anyway, I can't do this skill anymore, but I don't want to make Imperial Concubine Duanjing and Mrs. Jinghui proud. Since there are benefits, we The whole palace must be impartial, so that's good, each of you will bring out a pair of embroidered screens, whether it's a surrounding screen, a kang screen, a plug screen, or a hanging screen. Looking at everyone, no one knows who is the winner. Even if the top three come out, it may not be the champion who will go to Yueliang to garrison. There are many uncertain things. Our emperor is the winner this time , whether you can let the emperor go to your palace is up to you."

The concubines of the six palaces all have their own thoughts and hopes in their hearts, but they dare not show it in front of Shen Qingyi. If Li Tianyou is the referee, then they don't have to do it anyway. Needlework is involved like a spider crawling, the emperor must think that the empress is doing a good job, who makes Xi Shi, loves the house and black in the eyes of the beholder, but now the judge, who is not known, everyone has a chance, that is There has never been such a good opportunity for the emperor to stay in his palace for three days.

Seeing the appearance of concubines in the sixth palace eager to try, Shen Qingyi glanced at Tang Aoxue casually. Although Tang Aoxue looked arrogant, Shen Qingyi obviously felt that she couldn't sit still. Disdainful, submerged in tea, using Li Tianyou as bait, sure enough, everyone will be hooked...

Shen Qingyi calmed down her emotions, and said a little angrily: "I have found an opportunity for you from the emperor, whether you can grasp it is up to you, in the future, don't talk about me behind your back, say that I am yours. The palace dominates the emperor and refuses to let it go, even if this palace persuades the emperor to enjoy the rain and dew, you have to live up to it!"

Mi Yurou, the noble concubine of the Duanjing Emperor, did not show anything. Mrs. Jinghui understood Shen Qingyi's temperament best. If the emperor dared to stay in another palace for three days, Li Tianyou might not be able to enter the Ningsu Palace for half a month. In order to get Tang Aoxue and Princess Linglong to take the bait, Shen Qingyi paid for it this time, but I don't know how Shen Qingyi can be sure that the person who will be selected to station in Yueliang in the future will definitely choose Shen Qingyi's embroidered screen ?

For the first time, the concubine in the harem ended amidst the hustle and bustle. It was rare for the palace to become lively, but they were all bustling in their respective palaces. Except for the palace people on duty, the concubines were no longer seen visiting in the alleys. Which palace? The young masters are all embroidering the screen with all their heart, and they are almost catching up with the girl who is about to get married to embroider the dowry!

In Zhaoyang Palace, Tang Aoxue disdainfully glanced at the flowers held by the maids, and felt more and more that it was vulgar to compete with each other. Finally, she made a final decision: "Forget it, none of you fancy faces make Ben Xiurong look good. , It is better to embroider plum blossoms for this appearance. Plum blossoms are noble in nature and self-admired. The one who is chosen will go to guard Yueliang alone. When he sees the picture of cold plums and proud snow, he will definitely resonate in his heart and will definitely choose This is an interstitial screen for repairing the appearance."

Tang Aoxue smiled complacently, but when she chose the silk thread, she abandoned the usual bright red color, and chose the bright purple with the gray branches, which is extremely gorgeous.

The Rosewood Pavilion is also very lively. Now the first-class maid serving in the Rosewood Pavilion was pointed out by Mother Jiang herself. She naturally knows who is her master, and she will not mess around with Princess Linglong. She just looks at it with a smile. Princess Linglong did her job, and then went back to Nanny Jiang verbatim. Of course, this did not prevent those second-class maids with shallow eyelids from flattering Linglong. Ordinary high-ranking families still have a choice to stay in the palace with the princess.

Therefore, there were actually three or four little palace maids who made suggestions in front of Princess Linglong, who picked out all kinds of patterns from time to time. Linglong has been in the cold moon for a long time, and her embroidery skills are naturally inferior to those of Dali girls. Fortunately, Dingyi The eldest princess also taught her for two years, her embroidery skills are not outstanding, but at least she can do it well. As long as Linglong thinks that Li Tianyou will stay by her side for three days, she can't help but jump in her heart, as if a little bird is watching her. The beating of the apex of the heart is normal, and it can't calm down no matter how hard it is.

Because of her mediocre embroidery skills, Linglong wanted to win the first prize in the pattern. Thinking about Yueliang's appearance, Linglong finally decided to make the simplest hanging screen with lonely smoke in the desert, which is suitable for the occasion and full of pride!I remember that my elder brother, the prince, liked this picture the most.

Li Tianyou found out about Shen Qingyi's funeral ceremony that night, and couldn't help but touch Shen Qingyi's itch and said: "You are really messing around, who won, you really want me to go to her palace to stay for three days? "

Shen Qingyi rolled her body into a ball, fearing that Li Tianyou would scratch her again, she immediately begged for mercy: "The concubine said to stay in the winning man's palace for three days, as for how to stay, the emperor has the final say, and what's more Yes, but it’s just a screen. At that time, it will be selected in the Qiankun Palace. The gate is closed and there is no one else in the palace. Doesn’t the emperor decide which one the person chooses in the end? It just depends on whether the emperor is willing or not. gone?"

"Are you telling me to lie?" Li Tianyou had no choice but to hold Shen Qingyi, but he felt that she looked so delicate at the moment, so he couldn't help but hugged her in his arms and started to move.

Shen Qingyi didn't finish her sentence, so naturally she couldn't let Li Tianyou take advantage of it, and asked directly: "Whether the emperor should or not!"

"What do you think? Since when did I not respond to your words..." There was a happy room in Ningsu Palace...
