Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 178 Splendid Embroidery is a Chapter, Trial Embroidery
Aunt Zhen took the pearl bracelet and rushed towards the palace gate with the biggest strides.She knew that the item in her sleeve was worth tens of thousands of gold, if she hadn't endured it for so many years and wanted something far more than that, she should have called Xu Jiaxing out right now, and took this bracelet with her to fly away.

But why?Her daughter is also Lord Hou's daughter, and she will marry into a wealthy family in the future to be the wife of the first wife, so why should she just be an ordinary woman with no worries about food and clothing.

Since ancient times, seeking wealth and danger, if this hurdle is passed, Xu Jialan will be no more useful than before, and Xu Jiatong and the others will not count on it, who else can they count on?
If you don't count on Xu Jiaxing, who else can you count on.Aunt Zhen thought this way all the way, and her feet became even faster.

At this time, the second round of the high platform had already entered - the needle test.The twenty ladies who entered the second round have already taken their seats, and the embroidery paintings they each brought have been hung on the embroidery frames beside them. After this sentence is over, they will comment together.

Xu Jialan was watched by two tall and strong court ladies and a father-in-law, kneeling on the side of the high platform, watching the scene in the middle of the high platform.At the beginning, her eyes were full of resentment, facing the three girls of the Xu family who were checking the needlework in the middle, she wished to spit fire, she was watched, it was impossible to rush over, she wanted to scold, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was dragged by the maid behind her , slapped him hard, and one of his teeth was crooked.

Those who were defeated in the first round just now had to go down the side steps to take their seats. Even if they were defeated one by one, they would still get a small bag of reward silver or a jade medal, jade bracelet, etc. The embroidered bag for the reward was from the palace. The female officer weaves and embroiders, and those who win it feel decent, even if they lose the election, they are all smiling.

Some of them knew Xu Jialan, some didn't, but just now when they saw her arrogance, they knew that she was very powerful on weekdays.Walking past her, it is rare for someone to gloat, talk in a low voice, have a good temper, but pretend to ignore her completely.

Xu Jialan looked at all this, scratching the ground with her hand, and didn't even notice that her nails were broken. There was only hatred in her eyes.She hated not only Xu Jiatong and the others, but also everyone on the high platform...

At this time, Qi Shanggong smiled and said loudly: "In the second round, let's take the needle test first. Each of you got a picture of flower petals, each with three petals, and embroidered it in a stick of incense. Who embroidered it?" Well, whoever puts more needles in the petals will pass this test."

There are two levels in the second round. The first level is about needlework, and the second level is about embroidery. The topic is "Splendid Embroidery".

After everyone stood up and said "yes", they quickly concentrated on the embroidery frame beside them.On weekdays, everyone is naturally handy with embroidery, but on the high platform, there are female officials walking around, and Queen Wu often forgets to come here.

The moment Xu Jiatong's fingers touched the needle thread, Xu Jiatong seemed to come back to his soul immediately, and immediately dismissed all distracting thoughts, and even the little pleasure of treating Xu Jialan just now disappeared.

She quickly threaded the three needles with embroidery threads of different colors, and after seeing the appearance of the petals, she started quickly.The three petals are smaller than each other, and it is obviously more difficult to drop the needles.She arranged the three needles of different thicknesses in the order they will be used, and she has actually figured out the mechanism.

Wang Rou and Lu Ziran also moved very quickly, obviously they had been instructed in advance and practiced specially.At this time, Ma Qinge was sitting in the position where Queen Wu was going to attack, looking at them for a while, and talking to Queen Wu for a while, and Queen Wu greeted her absent-mindedly.

Xu Jiatong's needles fell like flying, and after a while, the first flower petal was embroidered, and the color gradually changed from deep red to light pink.Her stitches are fine, and the petals are smooth and silky luster emerges.

The second petal was Yinghuang. Halfway through the embroidery, other people had already finished the first petal. She was still moving needles like flying, but the people around her gradually slowed down.

"Your servant, go and have a look." Ma Qinge is not good at female celebrities, but is good at riding and shooting, and her eyesight is also excellent. She looks at this now and then at that, and has already noticed the changes in everyone.

This slow person can no longer move the needle freely on the smaller petals, so he can only embroider as best he can, and can't care about the number of stitches in it.

Ma Qinge first went to Wang Rou's place to look at it for a while, and then bounced to Xu Jiatong's place, smacking her lips while watching.

Xu Jiatong completely ignored her, and was completely unaware of the changes in the people around her.She didn't know that the people around had gradually stopped, the gaps on the petals were getting smaller and smaller, and they had nowhere to drop their needles.

"Okay." Xu Jiatong said softly, then raised his head.

Nearly [-]% of the stick of incense is still there, and everyone has stopped their hands.As soon as Xu Jiatong looked up, he saw Ma Qinge looking down at her petals, giggling silly, and counting in his mouth.

"Are you sure about the count? Three hundred and six stitches, 240 six stitches, 210 six stitches." Xu Jiatong asked in turn.

At this time, the high platform was very quiet. When Xu Jialan was punished, everyone already knew that Xu Jiatong's embroidery skills were extraordinary, but they were all stunned when they heard her say such a number. How is this possible?

Even if it was true, how could she write down the number of stitches clearly while stitching at such a fast speed?

"The incense has been burnt out, I'll show you, Miss Ma, you should leave such matters to your servants." Qi Shanggong said.

Ma Qinge was already dazzled by counting, and when she got down the steps, she immediately walked away with a smile.But she couldn't sit still, so she simply went to see Wang Rou's.

"Two hundred and three, 170 nine, one hundred and nine"

"190, 140, eighty"

Qi Shanggong counted all the way in front of Xu Jiatong, looked carefully twice, and said with a loud smile: "It really is 240 needles, 210 six needles, [-] six needles, the needle technique is good, and I know it well, it really is Duan's apprentice." .”

"Thank you Qi Shanggong for your compliment." Xu Jiatong said politely.

Queen Wu was even more happy, she came down to see it in person, and the crowd immediately panicked.Although he didn't come to see them, it was the first time in his life that he was so close to the queen, and he didn't know if there would be a next time in his lifetime.

"This... I didn't expect you to have such skills at such a young age..." Queen Wu's ending sound trembled a little. She finally restrained herself, took Xu Jiatong's hand, and lightly touched the palm and back of her hand. Gently stroking, "Such a delicate hand, take good care of it, Yulan, take the fat from Ben Gong, and bring it back to Miss Xu."

"Thank you, Queen, for the reward. I am ashamed to be a courtier with mediocre skills." Xu Jiatong was stunned. She didn't think it was a favor, but felt inexplicable panic.

Queen Wu's hand is very soft, very soft, warm and comfortable when touching the back of her hand, but she doesn't feel uncomfortable at all, I don't know why she is very scared, very scared...

　The heroine's life experience has been misunderstood by many people, including Queen Wu. You can see a good show in the future... Please recommend, ask for a reward, I recently reviewed the national exam, and I am very tired, and I have to learn to drive in the future. Your support , is the driving force for me to save the manuscript...
