Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 24

The dark blue brocade is the base, with faint silver patterns on the edges, and in the middle of the belt are auspicious clouds and a dragon hidden behind it.Because there wasn't enough golden silk to embroider the dragon pattern, Chu Yan ingeniously embroidered a looming dragon, covering the dragon's body with hazy clouds.

When Jiang Shanggong saw such a belt, he was stunned, because Tenglong, whose body was partially hidden, was not overshadowed by it, but because those invisible places were more thought-provoking and unbearable. I can't help but guess what a magnificent sight it would be if such a majestic flying dragon galloped out from behind the clouds.

The dragon soars above the blue clouds, and Wei Zang Lin claws.

When it is quiet, the wind and clouds gather, and the movement is like thunder.

Chu Yan's wrists kept flying because of the stitches going up and down, and when the whole belt was completed, beads of sweat were dripping on her forehead.

She rubbed her temples wearily, and handed the belt to Jinyue, "I'll give you a stick of incense to sew up the corners again, using a seven-star needle, and the stitches go inside, so that no one can see a little bit of thread from the outside."

Seeing that Chu Yan was not in a hurry to pursue her responsibility, but still entrusted herself with a heavy responsibility in front of everyone, Jinyue finally wiped away her wet eyes, took the belt, and immediately sat on the embroidery table beside her and started to work .

At this time, Chu Yan had the time to stand up, and looked at Jiang Shanggong calmly, "Has such a thing happened in the embroidery house before?"

In any case, she would never be so stupid as to really believe that there would be such a thing as mice appearing in the embroidered house. She had only been here for two days, and someone came up with such a way to make things difficult for her. She had every reason to believe that that person was not targeting Jin Yue, a little court lady, tried every means to embarrass her.

Jiang Shanggong's eyes stayed on the belt for a moment, then looked back at Chu Yan, shook his head and said, "This kind of thing has never happened before, all the things in the hall are precious things, how can we make the mice run away so easily?" Did you come in? Bitten something, and I was the one who was unlucky...Of course, the girl is here now."

She just clicked to the end, and Chu Yan naturally understood that Jiang Shanggong was not the only one who was unlucky now that she was here.

She slowly looked around the maids in the hall, and said lightly, "Let's just think that a mouse ran in without eyes this time. If this happens again next time, I guarantee that the mouse will die very soon." awful."

It took her two full hours to complete this belt, and she was already so tired that her eyes were almost blurred.Holding Hanzhi's hand, she walked out with a cold expression, and before stepping out of the hall, she turned her head and said to Jiang Shanggong, "Chu Yan hopes that Jiang Shanggong can tell the truth to His Royal Highness about today's matter, after all... After a pause, she smiled sweetly, "After all, there is less golden silk on the belt, and I'm afraid His Royal Highness will think that I'm short of catty and two in order to save materials for the embroidery room."

That smile was quite meaningful, Jiang Shanggong immediately understood when he heard the words, nodded and said to her, "Miss, please don't worry, when Chen Xiang comes to pick up the belt, I will make it clear to her."

Chu Yan is not a fool, so she naturally knew that Jiang Shanggong would not be responsible for this matter. After all, if something went wrong, apart from her being punished, Jiang Shanggong, the old man in the embroidery house, would also be affected.For a person like this who has been in the palace for decades, why would he want to do something that harms others and does not benefit himself?

She just wanted to know what the prince's reaction would be if he heard about this matter. This sentence could be regarded as a reminder to those present that she was not alone.

The belt was sent to Xuanming Hall after the prince's lunch break, Gu Qi was still drinking tea to moisten his throat, Chen Xiang reported outside with the wooden tray.

Gu Qi hadn't started to read the brochure, so he let Chen Xiang in. When his eyes fell on the belt, he just paused for a moment, and then said lightly, "Let's put it down."

He never cared much about these things, as long as it wasn't unbearably ugly, he didn't need to be too particular about what he wore.

Chen Xiang put down the wooden support as promised, but still stood there and did not leave, it seemed that she had something to say.

Gu Qi looked up at her, his heart moved, and he looked at the belt again, remembering that Chu Yan had worked in the embroidery room since the day before yesterday, so he walked to the table, picked up the belt, and suddenly felt There are some differences.

Tenglong is slightly hidden behind the auspicious clouds, but the majestic face is revealed, but the dragon body is looming - this is not the style of the group of people in the embroidery room. The previous patterns are always as majestic as they are, and they never hold the pipa half-hidden .

For some reason, he was very sure that the belt was not made by the maid of honor, but by the woman who always had a smile on her face. Just looking at this extraordinary Tenglong, he seemed to be able to hear Chu Yan's smile on that moonlit night. what I had said to him.

She said that he would definitely get his wish and show his ambitions.

So this dragon that is about to come out is implying that he will one day complete the process of hiding his strength and biding his time, and dominate the court like a giant dragon?

The corners of his lips curled up subconsciously, he didn't notice, but Chen Xiang saw it clearly, His Royal Highness, who was always cold and restrained, actually showed a smile because of a belt...

She felt that she had made the right bet, so she lowered her head and said respectfully, "His Royal Highness, Chen Xiang has something to report."

Gu Qi raised his head and looked at her lightly, "Zhao Chuyan has something to say to me?"

Chen Xiang bit her lip, shook her head and said, "I haven't seen Miss Zhao today. Jiang Shanggong said that the girl spent two hours to embroider this belt before driving it out. She is very tired right now." , let’s go back and rest first.”

These words really aroused Gu Qi's suspicion, "Get out? Didn't you order this belt down a few days ago? Why did it take her two hours to get out? What did you do a few days ago?"

Chen Xiang explained what happened today in full detail, Gu Qi became more and more silent as he listened, until finally he frowned and understood what was going on.

Someone was dissatisfied with Chu Yan's airborne landing, and tried to harm her, but she refused to admit defeat and spent two hours getting out of the belt, exhausting herself.

Gu Qi had mixed feelings in his heart.

Ever since I knew her, it seemed that I always watched her do everything that a young lady of an aristocratic family would not do.

When I was a child, I ran to protect him from Qingyang's random brushes with the body of a child on her back, and fought with Qingyang who was much fatter than herself with such a thin body by the pond. Without hesitation, she violated the wishes of her family and hinted to him, saving him from being forced to marry. Under the moonlight, she stood up helplessly and condemned the heartless man with a sharp weapon for An Liangyuan.

And today, she once again completed this seemingly impossible task with an unyielding heart... What should I say about her?
The harem concubines or imperial women that Gu Qi had seen before were all delicate and noble without exception. There had never been a girl like Chu Yan who acted recklessly with her unyielding weed personality and was as brave as a little sun. It would be nice to call her reckless It's okay to be brave, but she is like this, full of different brilliance all over her body.

Holding this belt that cost her countless efforts, Gu Qi didn't speak.

Wanxi's voice sounded outside the door, "Your Highness, the King of Beijun is here."

Gu Qi's heart moved, "Let him in."

Chen Xiang went out the door silently.

Qin Yuanshan would come to the palace to discuss politics with Gu Qi every day, and the twin brothers of the Xiao family also came with him. Since Gu Mingrui and Gu Chushi were princes of the royal family and had special identities, it was naturally inconvenient for them to participate deeply in the discussions.

Now that he entered the door, Qin Yuanshan, who was dressed in a green shirt, was warm and elegant, glanced at the belt in the crown prince's hand, and nodded slightly, "My minister sees His Royal Highness the crown prince."

Gu Qi raised his head slowly, and said in his usual voice, "Yuan Shan, I have something for you."

His eyes were quiet and bright, as if they were the same as usual, but there was indeed some unusual light in them.

Qin Yuanshan was slightly startled, then bowed his head and said, "At the command of His Royal Highness the Prince."

Chu Yan went back to take a long nap, and then returned to the embroidery room. When she stepped into the main hall, the first thing she saw was the slender figure standing at the door. He was dressed in a blue shirt, elegant and handsome, not like a person in the palace.

She froze for a moment, and the man obviously heard her footsteps, so he turned around and met her eyes.

Qin Yuanshan?What is he here for?
Qin Yuanshan didn't come alone. Behind him stood several eunuchs and court ladies, each holding a wooden tray in their hands. There were a variety of things inside, including gold and silver jewellery, jewelry and silver, and silk cloth.

Seeing Chu Yan, he calmly nodded to her, "Miss Zhao."

Chu Yan also nodded slightly, "I have seen the King of Beijun."

Everyone in the hall focused on the two of them, and Qin Yuanshan said in a warm and clear voice, "His Royal Highness is very satisfied with the embroidery presented today, and specially sent me to send these rewards to reward Ms. Zhao for the embroidery. It took a lot of hard work. His Royal Highness also said that in the future, Ms. Zhao has the right to make all decisions about the affairs of the embroidery room, and you will decide the rewards and punishments for the maids in the embroidery room, and there is no need to obtain His Highness's approval."

His voice resounded so clearly that Chu Yan couldn't help raising the corners of her lips, understanding his purpose.

The prince saw the belt, and also saw what she hadn't said. This time, he asked the king of Beijun to come to the embroidery room. Besides telling her that he understood her intentions, he also stood up for her in front of everyone, and warned those who had ghosts in their hearts. She will be the absolute authority in the embroidery studio in the future.

Chu Yan met Qin Yuanshan's clear eyes and smiled sincerely, "Chu Yan thank you, His Royal Highness, and King Beijun."

Her smile was like a clear sky where the dark clouds cleared, she was defenseless and undisguised, Qin Yuanshan seemed to see the little girl who was standing by the pool talking to him nine years ago, she was bright and beautiful, with calm eyes.

He nodded to her, took his leave and left.

At sunset, Chu Yan walked out of Yuanxi Palace with Hanzhi carrying a box of snacks.

"Does His Royal Highness really know how to eat?" Hanzhi was a little worried.

Chu Yan rubbed her fingers that had been busy with the cold water for half a day after holding the needle and thread for two hours, her eyes were peaceful and far away, and she was fixedly looking in the direction of Yong'an Palace.

"You can't tell, but you have to try to know."

Hanzhi is a little far away, look at the young lady's hands!How tired are you?If His Royal Highness doesn't eat it, she...she will curse him in her heart!

Chu Yan did not sit in the chariot, but walked safely to Yong'an Palace under the setting sun. The palace looked majestic and solemn, just like its owner, always giving people a feeling of alienation and coldness, not easy to get close to.

Standing at the end of the corridor, she handed the food box to Wanxi, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Wan, this is a piece of my heart, and I hope you will send it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Wanxi smiled helplessly, "Since the girl said this, the slave will naturally follow suit, but the girl has lived in the palace for so many years, so she should know that His Royal Highness does not easily eat food from outside..."

Chu Yan handed a purse from her sleeve, and smiled lightly, "I also know this truth, I have nothing to say whether His Highness eats or not, please send me this trip, please father-in-law."

"Girl, why don't you go in and ask for an interview in person?" Wanxi rejected her reward, "This servant has been serving His Royal Highness since he was a child. This servant can see who is kind to His Highness and who makes His Highness show off his smile better than His Highness himself. Now that the girl is doing this, isn't it a shame to the servant? You are kind to Your Highness, and this kindness is the best reward for the servant. Now His Highness has finished approving today's papers, and it is estimated that he will go to the main hall for dinner soon, girl You can try to see His Highness, he is free now, maybe he will see you in person."

Wanxi watched how the crown prince and the daughter of the Zhao family got to where they are today. He also saw Chu Yan's rescue on the day the officials forced her to marry him. The most important thing is that His Highness the crown prince took the first step for her. Ordering her to be a female official and sending the king of Beijun to support her, everything showed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince valued and cared about her.

Maybe His Highness didn't understand it himself, but Wanxi understood it.

He was gratified that that lonely child had grown into today's favorite child, and perhaps finally ushered in that extraordinary existence in his life.It's best...it's best that this Miss Zhao can accompany him through the more difficult days in the future.
