Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 179 Splendid embroidery is a chapter, and the flower pictures are chaotic
Queen Wu didn't notice it at all, the softness in her eyes had melted into her heart.Her close maid Yulan felt startled when she saw it, and went up to call her softly.

Empress Wu realized her gaffe, and let go of her hand: "I heard that the Duan family in Jinxiufang took in a closed disciple, but I didn't expect it to be just a little girl. Qi Shanggong, it seems that you have to send someone to the folk Take a look at the embroidery workshop, don't miss such a talent."

"The slaves obey the order." Qi Shanggong said happily.

In previous years, the selection of weaving and embroidery talents from the private sector in the palace had to go through the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites, and then went to their Shang Palace Bureau.There are a lot of joints and variables in the middle, and some of the people they are optimistic about or want to install are all screened out.Today, when Queen Wu spoke, she naturally arranged for someone she liked.

Queen Wu looked at the embroidered things of the other girls. Although they were not as good as Xu Jiatong's, the stitches were also very fine, which showed that they were skilled in weaving and embroidery.She also praised a few words and rewarded her.

"The fourth daughter of the Xu family is the first in this level, followed by Qi's Bao'er, and then the eldest girl of the Wang family." Qi Shanggong loudly announced the top three in this level.

This eldest daughter of the Wang family is exactly Wang Rou, Qi's Bao'er is of ordinary background, so she didn't say anything.But because of this, she was able to rank second, which shows the fairness of the game in the palace gate, and this is why Datong, regardless of whether it is a famous family or an ordinary good family, is flocking to it.

Ma Qinge looked at Xu Jiatong, then at Wang Rou, and said with a smile, "I'm going to collect two fans this time." After saying that, he followed Queen Wu back to his seat.

Xu Jiatong glanced at her with a smile, and when she forgot, Ma Qinge had already turned around.She happened to see Queen Wu helplessly looking at Ma Qinge, her expression and gaze were far from liking, but just polite.

However, both of the candidates for the heir apparent are Queen Wu's. Ma Qinge is the future concubine, the serious daughter-in-law of Queen Wu, so how could it be just a formality?

At this moment, Xu Jiatong began to quickly recall what Ma Qinge said to her. It seemed that they all came from Ma Qinge's father Ma Zhuo and the king Zhao Yu. Could it be that Queen Wu has been kept in the dark?
It seems that the relationship between the emperor and empress is really not simple.

"Second level, embroidery. Ladies, please embroider the sixteen characters 'Huang travels thousands of miles, beautiful embroidery is a chapter, silk and cotton are endless, rejuvenating me and Datong' among the petals just now. No need to pay attention to whose characters, It can be embroidered into a pattern, and it takes a stick of incense to finish." Qi Shanggong faced the expectant eyes, and said loudly, "Start!"

This embroidery is also a skill, the petals on the petal map have already been painted, as long as the weaving and embroidery skills are skilled enough, it can be completed.But this word has no shape, it all depends on the embroiderer's own skills.

If you can't write well, you can't embroider well.Even if the writing is good, embroidery and writing on paper are not the same thing. There are many good writing but poor embroidery.

Besides, Qi Shanggong has already called the name, this character can be written with a pattern, even if the character looks like a character, it can also contain characters in the pattern, this is a great test of skill.

Everyone got busy immediately, some of them just wanted to embroider the characters, so that they could be neat and smooth, and they couldn't care about others in the effort of burning incense.Some began to think about how to "write" with patterns. Some of them thought about it now, and some had bet on the right questions before and made preparations. The latter had already moved the needle without thinking.

Xu Jiatong forgot about the people around his eyes who immediately made a move, almost as soon as Qi Shanggong spoke, he directly used the drawing method without thinking.

She was depressed and very angry. There must be a lot of people here who got wind of it before betting on the right question.She obviously had someone like Dai Yuanguan as her backer, but she didn't hear any rumors.

If you want to turn the words into a pattern, and then connect the petals, the pattern is best to be the branches, leaves and flowers of the flower, so that it can be integrated with the original petals, which is why it is necessary to embroider on the same base map.

If it is integrated into a flower tree, these words alone are not enough. If it is fully completed, it requires more than just a stick of incense.It can only be fused into a bonsai, embellished with embroidered petals.

Xu Jiatong had an idea, and started to do it, using stitches in series first, and the intention will come out after a while.But a third of the stick of incense had been burned, and thinking of the unfinished part, she immediately started the needle as fast as possible, her eyes were only on the needle and the place where the needle fell, and nothing else.

"This one is too clear and clean. This one doesn't match the original petals. The other one is embroidered with characters on the white place...Qi Shanggong, do you think I'm right?" Ma Qinge couldn't argue with Queen Wu. , came to pester Qi Shanggong, said a few words for a while, and said a few words for a while.

Qi Shanggong didn't want to refute her face, so he laughed and laughed at the side: "Ma girl has eyesight, but it can't be blamed on them. Only if the foundation is good enough, can you make tricks in a stick of incense."

"I don't blame them, I can't figure it out anyway." Ma Qinge smacked her lips carelessly, while Wang Rou was just embroidering the characters neatly, and she looked towards Xu Jiatong again.

Lu Ziran was the first one to embroider. Qi Shanggong went to look at it, and his eyes were very satisfied: "It is connected in the shape of a belt, and the characters are 'jade' inlaid on it. The petals are like the wreaths dotted on it, not bad."

Wang Rou was very shy, knowing that she had nothing to say, so she narrowed Lu Ziran's words, and then talked to Ma Qinge.

Xu Jiatong was the last to stop. When she raised her head, the stick of incense had just burned out.With Lu Ziran Zhuyu in front, everyone's eyes had already gathered. Xu Jiatong finished, and they also felt that it would never be better than Lu Ziran's, so they didn't rush to see it.

Qi Shanggong actually came over, and he was startled as soon as he touched his eyes.Only a corner of the shallow copper basin is exposed, and it is actually a potted banyan tree, but this potted plant is different from ordinary ones, with a low trunk, which saves needle work, and the circled branches and leaves are only used for outline.

The sixteen characters of "The phoenix travels thousands of miles, the beautiful embroidery is the chapter, the silk and cotton are endless, rejuvenate me and the great harmony" are inlaid between the branches and leaves, and a flower vine comes up from the bottom of the tree, and the tiny flower buds on it are colorful, revitalizing the whole pot. bonsai.

"Excellent embroidery skills and lofty artistic conception, you are the winner of this level again." Qi Shanggong said sincerely.

"Hurry up, bring it up and show it to me." Queen Wu had already sent a message in a hurry, and after seeing it, she simply said directly, "Ms. Xu Si also came from a noble family, and she also learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting just like you since she was a child. I put all my heart into embroidery, but the kung fu of embroidery is comparable to that of a female officer in the Shangyi Bureau, which is really rare. Yulan, take this embroidery picture back and frame it."

"My Lady Queen, this embroidery painting was made hastily, and it really betrays your love." Xu Jiatong said hastily, she always felt that Queen Wu treated her strangely, but she couldn't tell what was wrong with her.

Qi Shanggong is Queen Wu's confidant, and the person that Queen Wu wants to promote is naturally the person she wants to promote.Even if she has someone she wants to arrange, she can only make him the next best thing, not to mention she is a smart person, so the one she really wants to support should naturally be low-key.

"Miss Xu Fourth, get up quickly. It's rare for the empress to praise someone. If it weren't for your excellent knitting and embroidery skills, you would never have received such a compliment." Qi Shanggong helped her up, and said loudly, "At this juncture, I will be honored by Xu. The fourth girl of the family, the seventh girl of the Lu family is next, followed by Luan Wang."

At this time, Madam Zhen rushed back, and she had just stabilized her footing under the high stage when she heard voices from the stage.The people around were laughing and talking about the result of the match, and commented on the people above. After listening to a few words, she looked anxiously at the high platform.
