Chapter 111: Random mandarin ducks

The sky was not yet completely dark, but the palace lanterns were ignited in Chongren Hall early, illuminating the entire hall with bright lights. Emperor Qing was dressed in a commoner suit. Although he reprimanded Yan Yu in a cold voice, the corners of his lips raised a smile, and he was obviously in a good mood.
Concubine Hui sat on the side of Emperor Qing and said with joy on her face: "Your Majesty, the concubines have opened their eyes today. These embroidery products are rare pieces, especially Miss Su and Princess Yunshao. They are all original embroidery methods that my concubines have never seen before."
Emperor Qing raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Really? That makes me and the Qing also open their eyes."
Yan Yu, who was sitting at the lower left of Emperor Qing, also squinted his eyes with interest. Yan Su was calm, but the waves passing by in his long eyes revealed his thoughts. Obviously, men who do not know how to embroider are also very interested in original embroidery methods.
With a smile, Concubine Hui ordered the ladies to shake Shang Sisi's embroidery and Su Wanxiang's embroidery together, then grabbed a corner and spread it out.
The bright lights in the main hall shone on the glorious embroideries, making people's eyes suddenly bright.
On the left is Su Wanxiang's embroidery, embroidered with a picture of hibiscus plum blossoms. The emerald green branches and leaves are dense and dense, and the intensity is suitable. The two blooming hibiscus, the elegant and light style is like a hermit in the national color, the lightest strand in the fragrance of heaven. The name of this embroidery is a lotus plum blossom map, but there are only hibiscus on the embroidery, and no plum blossoms. When everyone was surprised, the palace lady holding the embroidery turned the embroidery, so under the light, I went to see it again. This hibiscus picture has been replaced by a plum blossom picture.
Qin Jiu took a deep breath in his heart.
Such an embroidery method is indeed original, because in Dayuguo, there has never been such an embroidery method, and no one has seen such an embroidery.
When one embroidery is changed from an angle, it becomes another picture. She had imagined this kind of idea back then, tried it many times in private, but failed. In the past three years, she has also pondered it many times, and finally let her figure it out. This time, she secretly asked Shang Chuchu to teach Shang Sisi, it was precisely this embroidery method. This kind of embroidery method uses trocars, stacking needles, oblique needles... a variety of embroidery methods, the embroidery threads do not show traces when they are connected, naturally, it also requires the embroiderer's ingenious ideas, and the selection of silk threads is the most important.
After her guidance, Shang Sisi really understood this embroidery method. What she embroidered is a peach and plum picture. From the front, it is a peach, and when the light turns, it is a plum.
Compared with Su Wanxiang's pictures, Shang Sisi's peaches and plums are relatively simple, because she has only mastered this kind of embroidery method, embroidering too complicated patterns, I am afraid that they will not be able to embroider.
Su Wanxiang's hibiscus picture is actually not complicated, only two hibiscus. But this kind of embroidery method itself is too novel, it has already overwhelmed the simple defects of embroidery itself.
Emperor Qing said in shock: "How exactly did this happen? There are obviously two embroidered pictures, but they can't be seen from the front."
Su Wanxiang took a step forward and smiled softly, "Your Majesty, although this embroidery method requires exquisite formation, the most important thing is the conception and wiring. The outline of the plum blossom map should coincide with the outline of the hibiscus map, and then add exquisiteness. It’s not easy to spot the plum blossom picture from the front."
Emperor Qing nodded repeatedly, smiled and glanced sideways at Su Xiang, "Su Aiqing, you are so lucky to have such a clever daughter."
Emperor Qing's gaze wandered around Shang Sisi's embroidery again, and nodded: "The embroidery of the second princess Yunshao is also extremely exquisite. You two deserve the first one."
Compared with Su Wanxiang’s indifferent and gentle expression, Shang Sisi’s face is a bit ugly. She finally stayed up for a few nights and came up with such a wonderful embroidery method. It was originally intended to overcome Su Wanxiang, but now she is side by side with her. Naturally bad.
Qin Jiu sighed again and again in his heart. She really did not expect that Su Wanxiang had also created a double picture, which really coincided with each other.
"What's the name of this embroidery method?" Yan Xu, dressed in purple cloth, sat on the side of the counter, under the glazed lamp, a cold, handsome face that was not stained with dust. Although it was pale as snow, his eyes were burning. Like fire, it seems to be stuck to the embroidery.
Su Wanxiang smiled slightly, as calm as a beautiful flower, "His Royal Highness, this embroiderer is not talented and has never named her."
"It's better to call one-sided double-picture embroidery." Yan Su said in a low voice, looking sideways at Su Wanxiang, his eyes moving inch by inch on Su Wanxiang.
Qin Jiu smiled wryly, embroidering a double picture! At the beginning, she planned to name this embroidery method one-sided double-picture embroidery. It is said that in front of Emperor Qing, it was not the turn of Yan Su to name this embroidery method, but he even ignored the etiquette and named it without authorization.
"Su'er, this name is not good!"
There was a soft sneer in the ears, and Yan Yu's very magnetic voice came.
Qin Jiu looked sideways, and saw Yan Yu sitting on a chair with thin lips and a soft smile. He smiled a little lazy, "The double picture on one side is too straightforward, so it's better to call the double shadow change." After saying this, he backhanded the cup. Raise your hand to drink all the wine in the glass, and draw your long eyelashes deeply.
Emperor Qing smiled faintly, "You two, you have to fight for a name. This embroidery method was created by Miss Su, and naturally it should be named by Miss Su." After saying this, his eyes focused on Su Wanxiang.
Su Wanxiang seemed to be quite embarrassed. Emperor Qing meant that she wanted her to choose one of these two names. She didn't know how. She hesitated for a moment, and her eyes narrowed and said: "The names given by the prince and the majesty are very good, and there is no need for the courtiers to start again. Why, please let your majesty choose them as appropriate.
Qin Jiu condensed his eyebrows slightly. In fact, this embroidery method cannot be regarded as Su Wanxiang's original creation, because Shang Sisi also used this method. However, these people seem to have overlooked one point. Shang Sisi was obviously upset. She took a step forward and smiled lightly, "Your Majesty, I don't know what to say when it is inappropriate."
This time Emperor Qing realized that he seemed to have ignored Shang Sisi. In other words, she was also the princess of Yunshao Kingdom, and nodded: "The second princess Yunshao has something to say, please."
Shang Sisi smiled slightly, "I just heard your Majesty say ingenuity. Shouldn't this embroidery method be uniquely created by Miss Su? Then my embroidery is also embroidered by this method, do I also have the right to name it?"
Emperor Qing suddenly became a little embarrassed, he chuckled, "That's natural, then the two of you will discuss the name!"
Shang Sisi smiled faintly, then turned to Su Wanxiang and said, "It's not anxious to name it, I'm just curious, Miss Su, since you can create a double picture, then, presumably, you not only created this embroidery method, right? I don't know what other embroidery methods will be used?"
Qin Jiu condensed her eyebrows. Shang Sisi was right. Since Su Wanxiang was able to create a double-picture embroidery, she must know how to embroider the dragon robe. That kind of embroidery is much easier than double-picture embroidery. Up.
Su Wanxiang lifted her eyes to look at Shang Sisi, then dropped again, faintly narrowing her eyes, Zhu Qi lightly opened, "Second princess laughed, I thought about other things, but the others are relatively simple and not worth it. mention."
"Miss Su, can you talk about it?" Shang Sisi said lightly.
Emperor Qing frowned, a little unhappy, and coughed softly.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Hui hurriedly smiled and pointed to a piece of embroidery and deliberately asked: "This picture is really cute, who embroidered it?"
Everyone looked in the direction that Concubine Hui was pointing, and what they saw was the picture of the pig arch and ink orchid embroidered by Qin Jiu.
"Haha, this little pig is really cute." Someone laughed.
This picture successfully diverted everyone's attention, and even Su Wanxiang and Shang Sisi looked over.
Compared with the hibiscus plum blossoms and peach plums just now, this picture seems more interesting. Even Taifu Yu, who has never spoken very much, nodded with his beard captive and said: "Being able to embroider an ordinary vulgar such as a pig is so pitiful, it shows that the embroiderer has a broad mind and a kind heart to embrace all things. Not bad!
Qin Jiu was stunned, secretly amused.
Taifu Yu is also very old-fashioned, but she remembers clearly. At the Qionglin banquet, when he heard that durian was his attendant, she also remembered the sad expression in his eyes. The Tai Fu said to Emperor Qing at that time: "The old official really didn't know that the champion was from such a background. It really was a piece of beautiful jade that fell in the mud. This son is very talented, it's a pity."
If Taifu Yu knew that the embroidered piglet was the silt he said that day, I don't know if his beard will be curled up.
Qin Jiu was thinking like this, Concubine Hui winked at the palace lady, the palace lady turned the picture of the pig, and on the back, the fiery red fox playing in the chrysanthemum bush appeared in front of her eyes.
Everyone said together: "It turned out to be double-sided embroidery, which is really good!"
Yan Yu glanced at the fiery red fox, with a faint smile on the corners of his lips, and commented: "This fox is embroidered so vividly, and it seems to have a natural sly. The contrast is clear, this color is pink pig molan, red fox and yellow chrysanthemum, very bright."
Concubine Hui smiled and said: "Double-sided embroidery is extremely difficult to embroider. The technique required to show two completely immobile animals with double-sided embroidery is also extremely high. Moreover, the stitches are flat, uniform and fine. , Dense, uniform, smooth, harmonious, and light, this embroidery is very good."
Emperor Qing also nodded and asked, "Who embroidered this?"
Qin Jiu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's embroidered by the minister."
When Yan Yu saw it, the smile on his lips was like a flower in the dark night, blooming brightly.
"It turns out that the Qin Sect Master was what the Taifu said, a man with a broad heart and a benevolent heart that embraces everything." After speaking, he glanced at Yu Taifu, and he was so angry when he saw Yu Taifu's beard. stand up. It was the first time that he saw Taifu Yu deflated, and he still circled himself in a circle.
Emperor Qing smiled and said: "It turns out that the master of the Qin Sect has such embroidery skills, it is really good. Li Ying, reward!"
The chief Li Ying led the young with the reward to several people, and the rewards were distributed one by one. In the end, Emperor Qing retired Shang Sisi Shang Chuchu and others, leaving only Qin Jiu and Su Wanxiang.
Qin Jiu knew in his heart that Emperor Qing was focusing on mandarin ducks. It must be said that this is the first time she has met this kind of marriage in front of a woman, and this is not intended to give a chance to refuse.
