Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 213

Sun Xinci also prepared two small poems, and she was quite confident in her heart, but when she heard other people's poems, she felt that although her own poems were not bad, they were not good enough, so she carefully thought about the words, but she thought again. Whenever I am in a hurry, the more I change it, the worse it becomes, the more anxious I become, the worse it becomes, and the good opportunity is delayed for life.

Seeing the Empress Dowager ordered her father-in-law to send those selected poems to Chaoyun Palace, Sun Xinci's face turned green with regret. She only felt that one or two of those poems were not as good as hers, and she should have blurted out if she had known. It can not only show talent, but also gain an eye in front of the nobles.

But at this time, the empress dowager and the empress declined twice, and the empress continued to preside over the palace banquet, only to hear her smile and say: "The works presented by the ladies have been read one by one by the palace and all the empresses. Each has its own merits, and each piece is extraordinary, which dazzled me and all the empresses. Just now, I and the wives have selected eight excellent items, Xiao Lizi..."

As soon as the queen raised her hand, a father-in-law directed the young ladies to present the eight works selected by the queen just now, and they lined up in the hall.

Even though Hui An was aware of Sun Xinci's suddenly tense body beside her, she looked over and saw a pair of embroidery with blooming peonies sandwiched in it. Because of the bright colors, she took some thought to make the peony flowers stand out from the embroidered cloth, and the exquisite workmanship is eye-catching .

Hui An squinted her eyes, concentrated on sniffing, and sure enough, she smelled a gust of fragrant wind blowing from a distance. She couldn't help but curl her lips while looking at the embroidery.

Speaking of the eight selected works, there are paintings, calligraphy, copied scriptures, exquisite embroidered bags, etc. Among them, there are three embroidered works, all of which are embroidered with peonies. All of them are finely stitched, and the embroidery is lifelike, which is amazing.

The eunuch Li named everyone who made these eight works one by one, and there was a buzz of discussion in the palace for a while. Some of the selected ones showed disappointment, and some already commented on the eight selected works with the people around them.

This time, Hui An chose a better thousand-character essay written in the past and submitted it, but her level is limited, so it is impossible for her to be selected. Eunuch Li sang his name and lowered his head shyly, Hui An couldn't help but look at her with pity.

At this time, the empress dowager, empress and all the empresses on the stage have expressed their opinions one after another. Xu Shi women will love the exquisite embroidery works. In the end, everyone agreed that the three embroidery works out of the eight works are the most outstanding, but Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to judge which is better at the moment.

Although these three pieces of embroidery are all embroidered with peonies, they are different from each other. The second lady of Mr. Qiao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, excels in even embroidery, fine needlework, and exquisite coloring. Nie Shuangshuang also presents double-sided peony embroidery. But her embroidery is better than exquisite patterns, beautiful patterns and colors, and the shades of yin and yang are suitable for each other.

Although Sun Xinci's is not double-sided embroidery, she uses the method of embellishment, so that the peony petals are pasted with silk to highlight the embroidered surface, and the suede pattern is extremely realistic.

The empresses and wives in the hall were arguing endlessly, but Hui An saw Sun Xinci lightly moved her wide sleeves, and when she saw no reaction from the sleeves, she changed her face. Hui An frowned slightly, but saw her sleeves tremble slightly, and then Two butterflies, one pink and one blue, rushed out of it, and Hui An raised her frowning eyebrows.

Seeing the butterfly flying out, Sun Xinci breathed a sigh of relief, her heart beat fast, she sat upright, her head lowered, her eyes sparkling brightly.Hui'an glanced at her, and couldn't help curling her lips when she saw that she was overjoyed that she had already won the top spot.

But I saw the two butterflies flying out of Sun Xinci's sleeves, as if they hadn't adapted to the environment, they sluggishly stopped and started between the desks, and slowly stretched out, spread their wings and flew up after being entangled , and soon attracted the attention of the ladies and ladies in the palace.

"Hey, where did the butterfly come from!"

"Yeah, it's really strange that butterflies fly here in this winter!"

"Look, the butterfly is flying towards the peony embroidery!"

There was a commotion among the ladies and ladies below. The queen and others on the jade steps took a closer look and saw the two butterflies. They saw the butterflies flying to the side of the embroidery and could not let go of it. Finally, they landed on Sun Xinci's peony embroidery. On the petals of the product, they couldn't help but exclaimed.

Seeing this scene, Sun Xinci was determined, and smiled.The atmosphere in the hall was lively for a while, everyone discussed this wonderful scene one after another, and they couldn't help praising Sun Xinci's embroidery for its realism.

Hui'an couldn't help taking a look at Sun Xinci, who was full of shyness and drooping eyes, and smiled slightly, and leaned closer to her, saying: "Second sister is really capable, but sister should know that the more you hold it, the more broken it will be when it falls, sister Be careful with your feet."

After Hui'an finished speaking, he blinked at Sun Xinci, Sun Xinci was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, his heart tightened for no reason.But then she felt that it was Hui An who was jealous of her and said sour words, so she let go of her uneasiness and glared at Hui An, and said with a cold snort.

"I don't have the ability to see others stand out. It's really ugly people who make troubles and stupid people make a lot of fools."

Hui'an heard the words but ignored her, but at this time, above the jade steps, Empress Cui smiled and said: "Interesting, just now the pot of beautiful Wei Zi in this palace failed to attract butterflies, but now it is called an embroidered pot." Pin brought the butterfly over. Xiao Lizi, present the embroidery to the Queen Mother, Bengong and all the empresses for a closer look."

Eunuch Li hesitated for a while when he heard the words, and knelt down with embarrassment on his face for a while, but he heard him say: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, Empress Empress, this embroidery seems to have been soaked in pollen water many times. There is still pollen falling from below, slave...the slave really dare not present it."

As soon as Eunuch Li's voice fell, the hall was silent, and then Concubine Hui frowned suddenly on the jade steps, and said: "Huh? These works are all excellent works selected by the empress. Has the embroidery been dyed with pollen? It’s inappropriate for the empress to redeem her courtiers and concubines, so let’s get rid of it quickly.”

The queen's face changed when she heard the words, so many ladies' works were brought out on the spot by the young ladies who came to the palace today, she just roughly scanned and selected the outstanding ones, how could she find these all at once?
