​Imperial palace sweet love: Your Majesty, too dark!

March flies by.

In April, it gets hotter in summer.

Take off your thick clothes.

Le'er learned to walk in February, and now she can run after Huang Douman.

In the little garden in the yard.

The plum blossoms that Zhao Junyao had transplanted survived under the careful care of little bamboo.

Xia Ruqing stood in the corridor in her home clothes.

Looking at the lush courtyard, the mood is very clear.

She asked ziyue and zisu to take the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the grapevine in the yard and prepare to draw.

Asked perilla with a smile.

"Niang Niang, our yard was full of flowers last month. Why didn't you draw? Why do you remember to draw now?"

"All the flowers have failed. What do you draw?"

Xia Ruqing was busy spreading the paper and didn't lift it.

"Who told you I was going to paint our yard?"

Purple moon is more puzzled.

"If you don't paint the yard, what are you painting?"

Xia Ruqing didn't speak.

Purple moon pointed to a pile of pamphlets on one side.

"Don't ask, just wait and see!"

"Our Niangniang's handwriting is not good, and our painting is good!"

Perilla nodded thoughtfully.

"That's what I said!"

Xia Ruqing

"You two are no longer big or small. Do you dare to arrange me face to face?"

Purple moon and purple perilla smile.

"Lady, please draw quickly!"

Both of them are smiling while they are laying paper and rubbing ink.

Xia Ruqing nodded on their forehead one by one, then lowered her head to pick up the book and turned it page by page.

Turn to the fold and she stops.

In front of the book, I sketched a few strokes on the picture scroll, and then continued to turn it over, and so on several times.

Half an hour later.

The outline on the rice paper in front of her became clear.

"Niang Niang, this is..."

"Is this a headdress?" Perilla stares at me.

Xia Ruqing shakes her head and corrects.

"This is the Phoenix crown!"

Then he explained.

"Next month is the Dragon Boat Festival, and there will be another banquet in the palace!"

"I'm going to wear that again!"

She almost fainted after wearing the Phoenix crown for one day at the last ceremony.

In the long run, I'm sure I can't bear it.

So she wanted to redesign her crown.

Zhao Junyao also agreed.

She borrowed many jewelry albums from the house of the interior and found inspiration for a long time.

Fold up every detail you like.

Today, she improved these details and integrated them into her design.

see.

After her efforts, the outline came out.

The rest is the detail design and color matching.

Perilla's eyes are on it.

"Niang Niang, it looks similar to the Phoenix crown before!"

Purple month busy way.

"Fengguan is just like this. Do you want to change it into a flower?"

"I think it has changed a lot!"

Finish saying to point to a few, explain with Perilla one by one.

Xia Ruqing also smiles.

"Or purple moon heart, perilla, you have to learn to follow!"

Perilla is a little embarrassed.

"Niang Niang, I know!"

Asked the purple moon.

"Lady, haven't you painted yet? What color do you like? "

When it comes to color, Xia Ruqing also has a headache.

She put down her pen and looked into the distance.

"When it comes to color, it's not easy!"

"The original intention of my design is to reduce weight!"

"But if you want to reduce the weight, the material is the most important!"

"As soon as the material changes, the color must be different, so the color has to follow the material!"

Ziyue and zisu don't talk.

This... Is too difficult.

If the empress can't, they won't cut in!

Xia Ruqing sat on the stool slowly, not in a hurry, so she thought slowly.

In fact, she already had ideas in her head.

But she wanted to see if there was a better way.

"Perilla, go to the house and find a craftsman who has the most experience in making jewelry!"

"Remember, don't hire a steward, but a craftsman with real experience!"

"Ah

The purple perilla answered and went quickly.

It wasn't long before the craftsmen came.

It's a teacher with gray hair.

Because he is an old man, and in broad daylight, there is no suspicion.

When the old master saw Xia Ruqing, he knelt down from a distance.

"I'd like to say hello to the empress, empress Wan Fu Jin'an!"

The rules are quite comprehensive. At first sight, they have been serving in the palace for most of their lives.

Xia Ruqing smiles and shouts.

"Sit down, purple moon, move a chair for him!"

Purple month should be a, just want to go, that old master knelt down again.

"I thank the empress for her kindness

Xia Ruqing didn't say anything. She waved him to get up.

Then, ask zisu to give him the drawing.

"I've asked you to come here today!"

"I just want to know how light the Phoenix crown of this design can be at least!"

That teacher Fu respectfully took over the drawing and looked at it carefully in the sun.

After a cup of tea, I put down the drawing and reported it.

"Tell the empress, if you want to reduce the weight, you must change the material!"

"In jewelry, the lightest is brass!"

"If you change it all to brass, you can lose more than half of your weight!"

"But..."

The teacher Fu was a little silent.

"But it doesn't matter if you say it!" Xia Ruqing said.

That's what the master is for.

"Empress, the crowns of Empresses of all dynasties are made of pure gold. Only this can be worthy of your mother's status in the world!"

"If you change the material..."

It's not decent to be known that the share of loss is not mentioned!

Empress Tang, even the Phoenix crown is worthless. Isn't it ridiculed!

Xia Ruqing gave a faint smile.

"So... It needs to be kept secret by your house office!"

"Ah..." the teacher stared.

"It's all made by you. How heavy it is, you know better than this palace!"

"I'm afraid my neck will be useless after wearing it for a long time!"

"Do you think the face of the palace is important, or the interior?"

Xia Ruqing asked.

The teacher was sweating on his head.

He's just a craftsman. How can he understand this!

I racked my brains and couldn't say a word.

Finally, I had to get up and kneel on the ground.

"I will obey the empress's order!"

Xia Ruqing finally smiles with satisfaction.

"This palace has only three requirements!"

"The first is light, the second is... Change the material if you can't see it!"

"As for the third one, it's confidentiality!"

In other words, if you want to look like pure gold, you have to be much lighter than pure gold, and you have to not let people know!

The old craftsman wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with trembling.

"Don't worry, empress. I will do my best."

Xia Ruqing nodded with satisfaction.

"It's done, and it's not without your benefit!"

Then he gave purple moon a look.

Purple month in time to hand up a silver spindle.

"It's the Queen's reward. There's another reward when it's done!"

"Thank you, empress!"
