Embroidered color and fragrance

Chapter 115 Sudden
"Why are you here, aren't you in the palace?" Su Wanru saw Shen Zhan as soon as she entered the door, "I'll come back to get some things, you sit for a while, I have something else to do."

As soon as Shen Zhan came out of the palace, he rushed over, but missed, and waited in her room for a long time, like ants on a hot pot.After finally waiting for someone to come back, she said that she had something to do, and Shen Zhan's face turned dark immediately, "I can't finish everything in one day, sit with me for a while."

"Drinking." Su Wanru flipped through her things, looked back at him, took the set of needles that Zhao Yan gave her, and asked as she walked, "Did you drink in the palace?"

Shen Zhan pulled Su Wanru up on his lap, hugged her and said, "Go to my place tonight."

"I have something to do." Su Wanru said, "I just finished eating and was about to make some more. Today, I received another order from a merchant, and all of us have no time to spare."

"You have something to do any day." Shen Zhan snorted, dared to be angry but said: "Then stay with me for a while."

"Okay, just for a while." She looked at him, and smoothed his frowned brows with a smile, "Did things go well during the sacrifice to the heavens, my fake second brother, did the sage find any clues?"

Shen Zhan replied: "Not at all. La walked in front of people for a while, then brought him back to the clan mansion, and beheaded him at the Meridian Gate ten days later."

"Beheading." Su Wanru was stunned. Fortunately, her second brother went out. Otherwise, she wouldn't be working here calmly and calmly today. However, things have turned to the good side. One day, she will All the humiliation received is returned.

Seeing that she was silent, Shen Zhan patted her head. She smiled and said, "I'm fine. As long as I pass this test smoothly, I'll be completely relieved." Then he said: "What about the fourth prince? How about a banquet?"

He grabbed her hand, put it to his lips and pecked it carefully, hugged her and told the story again, and said: "...It's as you expected. The banquet is nothing." As soon as the Siamese beauty came up, he came out with an excuse So I don't know anything about embroidery.

"Really, you are too powerful." Su Wanru laughed and said, "There is nothing we can't do, Master Hou."

Shen Zhan raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and brought his face closer, "Then I have to show it."

Su Wanru kissed him, "I'm off to work, they are still waiting for my needle, you go back and drink some hangover soup." As he was about to leave, he hugged him tightly, and muttered: "Sit down again!" For a while, I haven't seen you all day."

Su Wanru chuckled, stared at him, and coaxed: "Okay, then wait a little longer."

"The sacrifice to heaven is over. I will go out in two days." Shen Zhan looked at her with a frown, "It will take at least two months to come back."

Su Wanru nodded, and replied: "It's okay, you can take care of your work, I also have a lot of things to do here. I will write to you if I have anything to do."

"That's it?" Shen Zhan stared dissatisfiedly, and Su Wanru froze for a moment, "Then...how about it."

Shen Zhan gritted his teeth, "Are you not reluctant to tell me to come back earlier?"

"Only two months." Su Wanru said with a smile: "But the weather is getting hotter, remember to prevent heatstroke when you are outside, and don't hang out in the sun all day long."

Shen Zhan looked better, raised his eyebrows and said, "Will you miss me and make you sick? I don't worry about you being alone in the capital."

"You shouldn't be sick." As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Xian was heard shouting outside: "Su Jin, why have you taken the needle for so long? We are waiting for you."

Su Wanru pushed Shen Zhan away, "Go back quickly, I'm going to do something." After a pause, she continued, "I'll find you tomorrow, and I'll make steamed buns for you to eat on the way." After saying that, she opened the door Went out and talked with Zhou Xian while walking.

Shen Zhan just sat on the chair, and Er Gouzi was in the same door and staring at the other door.

Full of resentment.

Shen Zhan snorted, and followed to the Xiangshan Hall in front. The hall was brightly lit, and the embroiderers were all sitting quietly in front of the embroidery racks doing work. She wandered around twice and saw that Su Wanru didn't come out, so she went back dejectedly. .

Su Wanru and the others finalized a large embroidery sample. She traced the draft herself and selected the needles to be used. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Qinghong and said, "You haven't packed your things yet, I'll accompany you." Go clean up."

"My things are packed, it's yours that didn't bring it to me." The two of them said, they called Liu Sanniang and went back to the backyard together. After opening the door, Shen Zhan was gone, only Er Gouzi was lying at the door.

After dragging a few cages out, Qing Hong looked at the eight cages lined up on the ground, and said in surprise: "Why did you get so many things, are they all the specialties of the capital?"

"It's not all Yanjing's specialty, there are a few places nearby." Su Wanru said: "The food is all brought for you, you can't take it back home, the weather will spoil on the way."

Qinghong gave her a blank look, and said: "Do you think I'm stupid? I don't know about this." Looking at Liu Sanniang again, "Do you really want to stay here until the end of the year? What about the Shanshui Museum?"

Liu Sanniang smiled, and said: "The Shanshui Museum has the manager and Zhenying here, it's fine. I'll stay here with Ah Jin, and I'll leave after the new year."

"Then it's up to you." Qing Hong sighed, and was about to speak when Zhou Xian came running out of breath, "Su Jin, the empress of the palace is here to order."

Su Wanru was stunned for a moment, Mrs. Wu gave her a decree?

Because of Zhao Yiyu?No, Mrs. Wu doesn't seem to like Zhao Yiyu either.

Liu Sanniang and Qinghong became nervous, looking at her, Su Wanru smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll keep my own place, even the queen can't cut off my head for no reason." Then she said: "I'll know what to do when I go to pick up Yizhi Something happened."

She said she packed up and changed into a slightly newer dress before going to the front yard.

Liu Sanniang and Qing Hong waited with worried faces. Su Wanru came back after a while, followed by Mr. Huo and Zhou Xian, who were carried by Lu Yi. Liu Sanniang looked a little dignified when she saw several people, and even Su Wanru was frowning. Then he asked, "What's the matter? What happened?"

"Look." Su Wanru tossed Yizhi to her, sat down on a chair angrily and drank a cup of tea, "Let me embroider a picture of mountains and rivers within three days, why won't she let me embroider a picture of the river during the Qingming Festival?"

"What is the Qingming River Picture?" Zhou Xian looked at her strangely, Su Wanru waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, anyway, I can't embroider it."

She was really angry, whether it was Zhao Zhiang's response or Wu's.If it was Zhao Zhiang, she felt that he didn't understand, so she agreed casually. If it was Wu Shi, it was intentional to make things difficult for her.

Is it for Eunuch Pei?It shouldn't be so, if there is a grievance and a debtor, you should go to Si Sanbao for revenge, so what's the matter with her.

"How can I refuse this?" Qing Hong frowned after reading the decree, "It's the decree from the empress, you can't go to the palace and tell her that you can't embroider it."

Su Wanru didn't speak.

"It's good, why did you suddenly ask you to embroider mountains and rivers?" Liu Sanniang was puzzled, and Su Wanru explained: "I guess it was the envoys who asked for it. Maybe they talked about special products or what to compare when presenting gifts. It is a dispute between countries." These are the faces."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly froze for a moment, her eyes lit up when she remembered something.

"Three days, why don't you embroider a purse?" Zhou Xian asked thoughtfully.

Huo Zhangshi pointed to Yizhi, and said: "There is a requirement above, at least it should be as big as a hanging screen, two feet high and one foot high, this is the minimum requirement, if you send your embroidered purse, the empress will definitely not agree .”

Zhou Xian was immediately dejected, "What can I do? Why not let Jinxiu Fang do the embroidery."

"That's right, Jinxiufang." Su Wanru yelled at once, came over to take the Yizhi and read it carefully, nodded, and said: "Come and have a look..."

Everyone gathered together to watch.

Here, in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, it is rare for several princes to talk together. Zhao Biao sat on the bedside and looked at Zhao Dong, saying: "I'm really sorry today, and I didn't know that you were behind me, Seventh Brother, otherwise I'm also worried."

"How can I blame you for this matter, I am useless." Zhao Dong smiled and said: "However, the emperor asked the crown prince to explain a thing or two for me. I am afraid that I will give you a brother They are ashamed."

He himself fainted from both pain and anger.

The prince said that he didn't do it on purpose, but he didn't believe it at all. How could it happen that he happened to bump into him? He clearly wanted him to make a fool of himself in front of his father.

"The crown prince must know about the secret relationship between Prime Minister Xu and me." Zhao Dong thought to himself, looked at Zhao Biao and cursed inwardly, "I pretend to be a good guy on weekdays, but I didn't expect such a small mind."

Zhao Biao didn't know what Zhao Dong was thinking, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Father knows that you are not in good health today, so he is not angry with you. The most important thing is that you take good care of your body."

"Yes!" Zhao Dong said yes.

While talking here, several people sitting across the table were drinking tea quietly. As soon as the conversation was interrupted, Zhao Xu by the table said: "It's just cold, it will be fine after three to five days. Just rest , when I pay my respects to the royal father tomorrow, the prince and I will explain to the royal father together."

Zhao Dong smiled and said yes.

"Speaking of which, tonight's banquet is really good." Zhao Xu said with a smile: "But I didn't look at anything else, I just thought that the two women who brought things up were pretty good. The customs of this foreign country are just different. .”

Everyone snickered, Zhao Biao reprimanded: "Fourth brother, if your father knows what you said, he will definitely reprimand you."

"Let me tell you, brothers and sisters will not spread the word." Zhao Xu said, pointing at everyone, "Don't tell the truth, this is a secret between our brothers."

Everyone laughed, and Zhao Biao shook his head helplessly, "You should learn from the tenth brother, read more books, and you will be gentle after reading the books."

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Yan, "The tenth younger brother has read a lot of books, so it is said that there is Yan Ruyu in the books. Have you seen this beauty Yan Ruyu?"

Zhao Yan smiled slightly, and said: "I have never seen a beauty, but my good brother has met a few of them." Then, he brought tea to show his respect, took a sip, and said, "There are some brothers, I just want to see whether this beauty is beautiful or not." I don’t dare to enjoy it alone.”

Everyone laughed again, the father-in-law next to Zhao Xu came in quietly, and whispered something in his ear, Zhao Xu listened amused, and said: "We can't see the beauties in this book, but now there is really a beauty .”

"What about a beauty?" Zhao Jun asked.

Zhao Xu just laughed, and said: "Guess what, tonight the envoy said he wanted us to present a good pair of embroidery, and to learn embroidery skills with their princess Lao Shizi. I even took a pair of embroidery and threw it to you when I became a mother. They're done, unbelievable, this little girl actually gave Father an idea, asking Father to hand over the matter to an Aunt Su in Baoying Embroidery Workshop, and let her embroider a picture of mountains and rivers within three days."

"Baoying Embroidery Workshop?" Zhao Jun was slightly startled, and remembered, "The embroidery in my mansion seems to be embroidered by them, but it is scheduled to be delivered at the end of the year. It is said that the embroidery is extremely time-consuming, and I am afraid that I will not be able to embroider it in the next three days." Come out."

Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Yan with a mysterious smile, "Some people want to feel sorry for a beauty, right, Brother Ten!" Zhao Yan's visit to the Magnolia Palace yesterday cannot be hidden from anyone, so today, everyone in the palace except Zhao Zhiang , there is no one who does not know.

"Fourth brother." Seeing that Zhao Yan hadn't spoken, Zhao Biao interrupted, "Tenth brother is thin-skinned, don't talk about him."

Zhao Yan cast a grateful look at Zhao Biao.

"I'm also going to Baoying to make embroidery." Zhao Xu acted as if he didn't hear, with an ambiguous expression, "Tenth brother, you won't be angry about this."

Zhao Yan said with a smile: "She opens the door for business and welcomes guests from all over the world. Fourth brother is a distinguished guest, so she will be happy." He also said: "But she is not in charge after all. Fourth brother wants to talk about business, but I ask them to be in charge. It's better to talk."

Zhao Xu stroked his palms and laughed loudly, "The tenth brother is really protective. It's a pity that the status of the Su family is a bit low. Otherwise, if you ask the imperial father for an imperial decree, your marriage will be settled."

"Fourth brother's words are commonplace." Zhao Yan said: "The most important thing for people to make friends is to share the same interests. How can this difference in status become an obstacle."

Zhao Xu laughed again, Zhao Jun also answered the words, and said: "Younger brother, you are stupid in reading, but, although your status is a bit low, when you marry the concubine and take him into the house to raise you, you will also be a man. Concubine love, a good story."

Zhao Yan smiled and said nothing, but he was thinking about the Queen asking Su Wanru to embroider a work in three days. He heard Su Wanru mention that a hanging screen would have to stay up for ten nights before and after work. Now three days, the time Is it too tight.

What should she do?
"Don't talk about it. The tenth brother is really unhappy." Zhao Xu said: "However, a pair of embroidery for three days is really mysterious. If you have time, you have to find a way for others, so as not to make the beauty cry It's not good."

Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Fourth brother, give me an idea. I have no idea about the imperial edict issued by my mother."

"Look for grandma." Zhao Xu whispered: "At this time, only grandma can help her. Grandma also has a lot of treasures. Just take out any embroidery and open the eyes of those people from foreign countries."

Zhao Yan thought about it carefully, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your advice, fourth brother."

On the second day, Zhao Yan knew that it was Zhao Yiyu who came up with the idea, Zhao Zhiang responded, and the Queen's order. This incident has nothing to do with the Queen. It became Su Wanru's business.

He hesitated and went to Kunning Palace again and again.

If Su Wanru can't get it out within three days, Zhao Zhiang should not be angry and punish Su Wanru with embroidery.

This matter was not a big deal at first, but the queen's order turned into a big deal. After all, as Zhao Yiyu said, within three days, even if you have three heads and six arms, you won't be able to embroider a picture of mountains and rivers...

"You did it on purpose." Wu You counted with his fingers, "Today is the second day, and she will definitely not be able to get it out tomorrow. If she can't get it out, what are you going to do?"

If I can get it out, I won't talk about it, Zhao Yiyu said: "It's not what I plan to do, but what the father plans to do. I can't decide how to punish."

"You really have a lot of ideas." Wu You felt that it was disgraceful to do this thing, and he had to be aboveboard, even if it was harmful, he had to be aboveboard, as dishonest as Zhao Yiyu, "Anyway, you have to think about it , you all know the intentions of the Marquis of Zhennan and the prince, if you harm her, I'm afraid I won't be kind."

"Who's going to kill her?" Zhao Yiyu snorted twice, and said, "It's just a little girl, why should I do it?"

Wu You didn't understand the meaning, looked at Zhao Yiyu, "Then what do you want?"

"That's enough for now. If you think about it, she won't be able to produce the embroidery for three days. Even if the emperor and mother don't convict her, it will be difficult for her to get ahead in the future." Zhao Yiyu said: "She is originally a Low, if you lose your reputation again, you will be low in the mud, even if Shen Zhan has any thoughts about her, he should consider it."

"The Marquis of Zhennan doesn't rely on her for food." Wu You sat on the kang, eating snacks, "Whether she enters the palace of the prince or the residence of the Marquis of Zhennan, she will enter the house as a concubine after marrying a regular wife, which is irrelevant .”

Zhao Yiyu glared at Wu You, "Are you an idiot? A few days ago, you beat someone because of Miss Han, but now you speak for her instead."

"I still don't like her." Wu You said, "Now I'm just talking about you."

Zhao Yiyu waved his hand and didn't want to talk to Wu You anymore, Shen Zhan is different from others, in his eyes, there might be no distinction between wives and concubines.

She thought of going to the Governor's Mansion the day before yesterday, and Shen Zhan was clearly inside, but his subordinates stopped her from going in. Even if they were stopped in the past, they were polite, but now they don't even save any face. Shen Zhan's job is not as good as the servants.

But what about Shen Zhan to Su Jin, that day when Su Jin and Brother Ten went out of the palace, Shen Zhan's guards were waiting at the door.

"Wait." Zhao Yiyu sneered, whether she was punished or ruined, she just didn't like this woman, how could she compare to herself, why did Shen Zhan like her.

Wu You sat for a while, then got up and said goodbye, "I'll come see you tomorrow." She was also curious about how Su Jin would resolve this crisis.

When she returned home, Mrs. Xu immediately pulled her and asked, "How is it? Did you hear any news when you went to the palace? Does your aunt have any other preparations?"

"I didn't hear about it, and I didn't go to see her." Wu You still remembered that slap, "I'm tired. I'll know the result tomorrow."

Mrs. Xu was uneasy, and almost didn't sleep all night. How did she embroider a picture of mountains and rivers in three days? Princess Zhilan was too nonsense.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Xu handed over the sign and entered the palace. The queen looked at her and asked, "What are you doing here so early in the morning?" much better.

Although her sister-in-law is not so caring, she is not like before, she doesn't even bother to say a few words when she comes.

"You'er made you angry a few days ago. She was young and ignorant. Don't get angry. After she went back, his father severely reprimanded her." Xu said.

The queen hummed, and said: "You should also teach her more. If you have something to do, keep it in your heart and make a few more turns. Don't think about it, just say it out of your mouth."

"Yes, yes." Mrs. Xu should be, and when she said that, Madam Liu came in and said in a low voice: "Madam, the envoy from Siam came to ask, when can we see our embroidery."

The queen frowned, and said: "Didn't it mean that the empress dowager took a picture of living in Fuchun Mountain that she treasured, you can send someone to say hello to Nanny Cui from Kunning Palace later, and remember to send it to Qianqing Palace." He said again: "Send someone to Baoying Embroidery Workshop and ask them to bring the embroidery."

Grandma Liu should go.

Xu raised her heart with a heart, and made up her mind to stay in Fengwu Palace. If Su Wanru had something to do later, she might be able to say something nice.

"Are you... want to stay and watch the fun?" The Queen looked at Xu Shi, and Xu Shi said awkwardly: "Would you like to stay, if it is inconvenient, then the concubine will leave."

The queen frowned, waved her hands, and said, "If you want to stay, you can stay. It's impossible for them to enter the palace so soon. I guess it will take until the afternoon." This matter can be delayed for a while, for a while.

Sure enough, the person sent by Madam Liu came back to report, "... Aunt Su from Baoying Embroidery Workshop said that you gave me three days, and it was evening when Yizhi was delivered, so it hasn't been three days yet."

"She's still arguing with me about time." The queen didn't think so, "Okay, let Nanny Liu go back to the Siamese envoy, and tell him not to rush, he will have his eyes opened."

No, there is also the map of the Empress Dowager's residence in Fuchun Mountain, as for Baoying Embroidery Workshop...

They have annoyed the Holy Majesty, and they have her own fruit to eat.

In the evening, Zhao Zhiang held a banquet, invited envoys from various countries, and asked the two prime ministers on the left and right, and several ministers from the three ministries and nine ministers to accompany him. When they sat down, the Siamese envoys couldn't wait to say: "My lord, do you have embroidery?"

"Empress?" Zhao Zhiang forgot about this matter, now that he thinks about it, he can only ask the Empress, and the Empress replied in a low voice: "The people from Baoying Embroidery Workshop haven't arrived yet, I'm afraid they haven't embroidered well, three days is a bit tight gone."

"Since you can't do it well, why didn't you say it earlier." Zhao Zhiang said angrily, "Then what should I do now, I have promised him, if I can't produce something, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the country."

The queen coughed, and seeing the anxious look of the Siamese envoy, she replied in a low voice: "The queen mother sent a picture of living in the Fuchun Mountains. The embroidery was embroidered by Song Wuniang in Yingtian Jinxiufang in the early years. There is only one in the world. This pair is a rare and superior work."

"Then get it first." Zhao Zhiang said, "Over there at Baoying Embroidery Workshop, I'll clean it up later."

The queen should be, and she signaled to Nanny Liu, and Nanny Liu lifted up Song Wuniang's embroidery. It was a pair of hanging screens, which were impeccable in both color matching and embroidery skills. From a distance, she looked like a woman who was good at copying. It was rubbed by a famous artist, and because of the random stitches used, it even has a more three-dimensional effect than the original.

"This is really a good work." Zuo Prime Minister Xu Liren also sighed, "This embroiderer's skills are really extraordinary, like flowing clouds and flowing water, which is more natural and smooth than some paintings drawn with pen and ink."

"Yes." Someone echoed: "This is indeed a rare treasure."

"Siam envoy." Zhao Zhiang finally felt better, and asked, "How is it?"

The Siamese envoy looked at it for a long time, then shook his head in disgust, "Not good. The color is too monotonous. Looking at it this way, it is not as good as the embroidery of our Highness."

After he finished speaking, the foreign envoys behind him all nodded their heads and said in a hurry: "Although this dull color looks delicate, it is far less interesting and delicate than the Siamese princess embroidery."

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Zhiang was dumbfounded, not expecting this result at all, "Not as good as your princess's embroidery?"

The Siamese envoy said: "Yes! The color is dull, without layers, and it is very different from the embroidery of our Highness."

When he finished speaking, the people below burst into laughter, and Xu Liren said: "You envoy, do you know embroidery or not? Although your princess's embroidery is good, this picture is indeed a masterpiece, and the two pictures are evenly matched. .”

"Your Excellency." The Siamese envoy said: "I'm afraid you have forgotten that the embroidery of our princess is not only embroidered, but also dyed. This alone requires a lot of skill."

Xu Liren choked immediately.

As far as dyeing alone is concerned, it is indeed better.

"Your Majesty." The Siamese envoy said proudly, "Now your embroidery has lost, so the embroidery of our princess is hanging in your imperial study."

Zhao Zhiang's face immediately sank, and it was impossible to ask him to hang an embroidery in his study, which was embroidered by a princess from another country!

He turned his head to look at the queen, narrowing his eyes slightly.

The queen's scalp also went numb, she didn't expect this result at all, and immediately said: "Do you understand embroidery, this picture of living in Fuchun Mountains is a masterpiece!"

"The empress is all Suzhou embroidery, and the technique is equal, but our princess has another dyeing, which is also done by her own hands, and your embroiderer can't compare to this alone." The Siamese envoy waved his sleeves. Said: "If you think what I said is wrong, I can't help it."

"You!" The queen was also angry. Outside the door, Zhao Biao led a group of princes and princes in. Shen Zhan and Zhu Xun were also together, a mighty group of people.

As soon as he came in, Zhao Xu shouted loudly: "You, a small foreign country, dare to say that your embroidery is better than ours. The embroidery of your princess was taught by our embroiderer."

"Fourth Highness, we judge good or bad, and we only look at the embroidery itself. If you go to the master to judge the past, you will lose the fun of judging."

Zhao Xu laughed, and said: "In this way, everyone says they are good, and it is really impossible to judge the good and the bad. Naturally, there is no need to hang your embroidery in my father's study."

"If the fourth prince insists on saying that, I have nothing to say." The Siamese envoy said, "We know what is good and what is bad, and the fact cannot be changed if you don't recognize it."

Just as Zhao Xu was about to speak, he heard a servant outside the hall singing, "Auntie Su from Baoying Embroidery Workshop is here!"

After the audience fell silent, I saw a young girl of fifteen or sixteen carrying two embroiderers up a shelf, covered with a red cloth, and walked quietly among the crowd.

"It's Su Jin!" Zhu Xun laughed, stood up and waved his hands, everyone looked at him, Zhao Zhiang coughed, and said, "Zhu Zhengyan, what are you making a fuss about?"

Zhu Xun chuckled, and sat down indifferently.

Su Wanru Yingying stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Miss Su, kowtow to the Holy Majesty!"

"The daughter of the people kowtows to the Holy Majesty!" Bian Li and Zhou Xian also blessed.

"Let's get down." Zhao Zhiang finally looked better, but when he thought that the picture of living in Fuchun Mountain, which was admired just now, was being compared by the other party, he said in a deep voice, "Why did you come so late?"

"Is this the embroiderer who picks up the embroidery? Could it be that she is too afraid to come to the appraisal?" The Siamese envoy looked at the shelf carried by Zhou Xian and Bian Li with a half-smile, which was about four feet wide and three feet high. Look, don't know what's inside.

"Your Majesty, because we are waiting!" Su Wanru said, and the Siam envoy asked, "What are you waiting for?"

Everyone also felt curious and looked at her one after another.

Su Wanru smiled, and said calmly: "We are waiting for the night to fall, because this picture is only interesting to look at at night."

"Watch at night?" Zhao Xu and Zhu Xun looked at each other, and asked curiously, "What's the difference between watching at night and during the day?"

Su Wanru replied: "Everyone will find out later."

As she spoke, she whispered a few words to Eunuch Du, and Eunuch Du turned off the lamps in the hall, and the hall became dark all of a sudden.

The queen and Zhao Zhiang looked at each other, puzzled.

What can be embroidered in three days?

In the side hall, Zhao Yiyu stood up abruptly and asked, "You said she came with embroidery?"

"Yes, they brought people in." The servant replied, "Please ask Eunuch Du to turn off a few lamps in the hall. You should be watching right now."

Zhao Yiyu thought it was impossible, "What the hell is Su Jin doing..." She walked outside after she finished speaking, "I'll go and have a look."

Carrying her skirt and Wu You, she ran all the way to the main hall. As soon as she entered the door, she heard an exclamation from inside. Her heart skipped a few steps, and then she froze on the spot.

I saw that the gloomy and dark main hall was lit up like a starry sky, and the bright colors fluctuated up and down.Towering into the clouds, majestic and majestic are mountains, green and green are trees, clear and green and flowing are rivers, a small boat is rippling on the river, and a person is sitting on the boat, supported by a bamboo pole leisurely, fishing.

Just looking at the painting, it seems that you can feel the ease of the fisherman, which makes people linger and envy.

"How could this happen?" Zhao Yiyu was stunned, and looked at Wu You, Wu You murmured: "It's really beautiful, it's ingenious."

Zhao Yiyu glared at her angrily, walked a little further, and heard Zhu Xun praise loudly: "Wonderful, wonderful!"

"How did you do it?" The Siamese envoy's complexion changed slightly, and he and other foreign envoys gathered in front of the embroidery to watch, "Ah! Did you crush it with beads and sprinkle the powder on it?"

Su Wanru nodded, and said: "The envoy is right, it is indeed the powder from Suizhu."

The Siamese envoy didn't speak. As he walked back and forth, his eyes shifted, and he would find that the color and tone of the picture were only different in some levels from every angle.

"You have nothing to say this time." Zhu Xun leaned over, laughed, and said, "This embroidery is excellent, much prettier than those made by your princess."

The corner of the Siamese envoy's mouth trembled, but he didn't reply after thinking for a long time.

Zhao Zhiang couldn't help coming down with the Queen, standing in front of the embroidery and watching, the husband and wife looked at each other, Zhao Zhiang's eyes were filled with satisfaction.

It really surprised him. A picture of Song Wuniang's residence in Fuchun Mountain didn't amaze the other party. Now that Su Wanru took out this picture, the other party was speechless. He looked at it carefully and couldn't help but nodded, saying: "This embroidery is really ingenious."

The queen frowned and said nothing.

"Light up the lamp and have a look." A female voice suddenly sounded, which made people startled abruptly.

Zhao Zhiang's face darkened, and of course he could hear his daughter's voice, so he shouted in a deep voice: "This is a state banquet, who asked you to come."

"Father!" Zhao Yiyu stomped her feet, pulled Zhao Zhiang, and said in a low voice, "I'm here, so why don't you give me some face."

Zhao Zhiang snorted coldly, "Then shut your mouth."

"Yes, yes. It reminded us." The Siamese envoy immediately said: "Yes! Since it is embroidery, it naturally depends on the embroidery skills. No matter how beautiful these are, they are not embroidery."

Everyone looked at Su Wanru worriedly, but Su Wanru looked indifferent, nodded happily, and said, "Okay!"

The surrounding lights turned on again, and then the light on the embroidery gradually disappeared, and the embroidery in front of them became clear. Everyone couldn't help but look closely, and saw that this was not full-screen embroidery, but just like painting, with the outline embroidered Shadows, but both in outline and in color, are superb.

Then someone asked strangely: "This...doesn't seem to be a kind of embroidery method?"

"Yes!" Su Wanru said with a smile: "Mountains and rivers are Suzhou embroidery, rivers are Hunan embroidery, flowers and birds are Shu embroidery, figures and sky are painting embroidery. Envoys want to experience our country's embroidery skills. It may be difficult for you to see all of them in one picture. I decided on my own, and let our Xiu Niangs of various embroidery methods rush out in three days. The rush and a little rough, forgive me!"

"Three days!" Zhu Xun said: "Envoy, I'm in a hurry, so I rushed out in three days, how much time did your princess spend?"

The Siamese envoys looked embarrassed, and the princess did not do it alone, it took nearly a year.

"I lost, I lost." Zhu Xun laughed, and said to Zhao Zhiang, "My lord, they are bound to lose."

Behind them, Shen Zhan leaned on the chair, his eyes fell on this side, Zhao Yan was beside him, and he lowered his eyes while holding the tea and said in a low voice: "You knew it a long time ago? Did you find Suizhu for her?"

Suizhu is hard to find, and with Su Wanru's ability, it may be difficult to find.

"En." Shen Zhan responded inaudibly, and glanced at Zhao Yan. The Fuchun Mountain residence map he borrowed from the Queen Mother was on the side, and he had known about it for a long time.

Zhao Yan smiled bitterly, but did not speak.

Zhao Zhiang was very happy, he finally gained face, looked at the Siamese envoy, and asked, "Envoy, how do you feel?"

The Siamese envoy had no choice but to nod, and replied: "This picture is really wonderful."

Xu Liren said: "You talked about dyeing skills before, but now looking at this picture, you can also use dyeing techniques, and the luminous item is also unexpected, quite talented, and it has surpassed the skills of your princess."

The corners of the Siamese envoy's mouth trembled, and after a long time, he said: "It's really good, we admit defeat." He looked at Zhao Zhiang again, "Your Majesty, can you give us this embroidery so that I can take it back so that our princess can see it too?" See."

"I appreciate it." Zhao Zhiang waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's just a piece of embroidery!"

Zhu Xun looked reluctant, holding the embroidery and joked: "I really can't bear to give you such a good thing." Then said: "However, as long as Baoying Embroidery Workshop is here and Aunt Su is still here, we will have more Better embroidery, this one, I will reluctantly give up. Your Majesty, right."

Zhao Zhiang pointed at Zhu Xun helplessly, and said, "You, you are right this time, I have a big week and a lot of talents, this time I will be a Siamese envoy."

Zhu Xun chuckled.

"Then thank you, Your Majesty." The Siamese envoy asked people to take off the embroidery, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your hospitality!"

Zhao Zhiang nodded, and ordered several courtiers, "Send the envoys for me."

Everyone left and said goodbye to Su Wanru one after another, "Auntie, can we visit tomorrow. If possible, we can also talk about business and bring some embroidery back."

"Of course." Su Wanru replied, "Welcome anytime."

Everyone smiled and said yes, and after taking their farewell, they went back in a mighty manner, and the hall became quiet all of a sudden.

Zhao Xu winked at Zhao Biao and said, "Prince, this is the embroiderer whom the tenth younger brother likes. Take a look, she's born very well."

"Hush, don't let other people hear it." Although Zhao Biao said so, he still couldn't help but look at the girl standing in the middle of the hall. Do you want me to fulfill you, brother?"

"Fourth Brother." Zhao Yan said with a smile, "Drink tea!"

Zhao Xu shook his head with a smile, pointed at him and said: "This girl is really good, talented, and beautiful..." He was halfway talking when he saw the teapot in front of him suddenly fall down, and he Jumped up in shock, "Oh, Shen Zhan, here is a teapot...it scalds me to death."

Shen Zhan brushed the teapot directly on his lap, making him shiver from the heat.

"Sorry, I missed it." Shen Zhan also got up, "I'll send His Highness to the side hall." He said again: "Go and invite the imperial physician."

Zhao Xu glanced at Shen Zhan, and felt that he didn't seem to be doing it on purpose, so he waved his hands and said, "It's okay, just sit down, I'll go by myself." Saying that, he saluted Zhao Zhiang, said goodbye and left the door.

Zhao Yan saw Shen Zhan and said in a low voice, "Dangtang Town Nanhou also used such clumsy methods?!"

"There are even worse ones." Shen Zhan glanced at him, leaned back on the chair, and drank tea.

Zhao Yan was speechless.

"What's wrong with your Highness?" Zhu Xun came back and sat down, and said strangely, "Why are your clothes wet?"

No one paid any attention to him, so Zhao Biao could only say: "The teapot spilled on him, he went to the next door."

"Is the Holy Majesty going to reward Ah Jin?" Zhu Xun said excitedly: "A Jin is really amazing today, I want to have a pair of embroidery like this one day, and put it in the room at night without even needing to light the lamp. .”

"You know her too?" Zhao Biao looked at Zhu Xun strangely, and Zhu Xun replied, "Yes, I don't know her if I don't fight. This little girl is very smart."

Zhao Biao nodded slightly, showing a thoughtful look.

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Zhiang said: "Su Shi, you have made great achievements today, and I will reward you well!"

"It's a blessing for women to share the worries of the Holy One. Women don't want rewards." Su Wanru replied, and Zhao Zhiang laughed out loud, and said to the queen, "This little girl is interesting. How old are you this year?"

"If you go back to the sage, Minnv Sixteen." Su Wanru bowed her head back, Zhao Zhiang nodded, and was about to discuss with the queen how to reward her, when Zhao Yiyu suddenly interrupted: "Father, she is so powerful, why don't you give her a marriage?" .”

Zhao Zhiang was taken aback for a moment, then Zhao Yiyu seemed afraid that someone would steal the conversation, and quickly said: "My tenth brother likes her very much, please help her and my tenth brother."

"What did she say?" Zhu Xun was taken aback, looking at Zhao Jun.

Zhao Yan's eyes were slightly startled, and he frowned, but Shen Zhan had already stood up, and the movement was so big that the chair he was carrying slammed, making everyone jump!
