Chapter 111: Embroidered mother 33

Since Queen Du once again ascended to the phoenix position, Lin Dan's business has grown bigger and bigger. He has recruited many embroidered ladies and weavers under his hands, and they are all the top talents in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and built a large-scale weaving workshop. In addition to not leaking the brocade technique, gradually weaved through the weaving techniques of Shu brocade, satin, and silk.
Meng Zhong was extremely embarrassed under her chase, her embroidery girls and weaver girls were frequently dug away, and the business in the shop became increasingly bleak.
At the same time, the emperor's body was getting weaker and weaker, and often he couldn't get out of bed for two or three months. This led to his increasing suspicion. He rarely got along with the concubine or prince or princess anymore. Once he fell ill, he would not let anyone approach him, even his eunuch. Only Queen Du could stay by his bedside, and all the accumulated government affairs were handed over to her. At first, the courtiers felt that this was incompatible with the etiquette. They persuaded and even impeached the Queen Du several times. After the Emperor Du really let go of the consequences, the chaotic Chaotang forced them to accept this arrangement.
The emperor was very ill, and Queen Du accompanied her to manage politics; the emperor recovered, and she immediately locked herself in the Taoist world without asking about the world. After a long time, the emperor had been obedient and convinced by her, and the courtiers were accustomed to her sitting behind the bead curtain and watching government affairs. After her closure, she never pulled up Du's house or retaliated against those who trampled on her, but silently, bit by bit, penetrated her power into the imperial power.
Unlike Queen Du, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, the concubines who had conceived their sons felt that the emperor was about to arrive, and they fought with each other. The princes each have their own fans, and they scramble for each other in the chapel, watching them come and fight like black-eyed chickens, and the emperor's heart toward their father is also passing away.
One day, the great prince was assassinated on the march and blinded one eye, but the assassin who was captured confessed that the prince behind the scenes was the three princes. The three princes refused to accept it, and went to the Royal Study Room to present their grievances, and exposed the scandals of the second prince and the fourth prince and other brothers who sold officials and sold the barons, and formed the party for personal gain. Several princes immediately stood up to fight back, and all kinds of conspiracy and conspiracy hidden under the undercurrent broke out in no time.
Chaotang chaotically turned into a pot of porridge, which caused the emperor to struggle with heart disease and fell ill again. The disease was four or five months, and Queen Du had to leave Taoist Temple and go to Yushu to help deal with the politics. At first, she still hung the bead curtain to isolate herself from the courtiers. Later, the bead curtain had become more and more obstructive. She simply dismantled it and met the courtier generously. Her bejeweled Manjushahua was so beautiful and so enchanting that she made the courtier feel so oppressed that she couldn't even pant loudly.
Her image of majesty and indifference, wiseness, and martial arts gradually built up in the hearts of civil and military officials.
In a few months, a large-scale typhoid fever broke out in Kyoto. In addition to the big prince who couldn't stay behind closed doors, four of the adult princes were infected with the disease. The queen isolated the patient by means of thunder, and dispatched the royal doctor to study the prescription for treating typhoid fever all night to control the devastation to the minimum extent.
Instead of intervening in the treatment of the four princes, she sent their mother-in-law to the palace and took care of them herself. In order to protect the emperor, she also sealed the Yangxin Hall. After all, the emperor's body has become weaker and weaker. A little cold and cold can kill him, not to mention typhoid?
Unfortunately, none of the four princes were able to support him. The concubines were sad and hurt. They ran to the Yangxin Hall to see the emperor. After being blocked by the queen, they burst into tears and blamed each other for their intention to rebel. The emperor not only felt that the queen's move was inappropriate, but also felt very relieved. Without the protection of the queen, he would have been seriously ill, and these women not only did not consider him and cared for him, but also came to disturb him and rested.
With this in mind, the emperor immediately sent guards to take away these idle people, only to allow the queen to enter and leave the Yangxin Temple, and also gave the commander of the Royal Forest Army to the queen.
A few months later, the epidemic was gradually brought under control, and the emperor's body gradually improved. The queen immediately returned the government affairs to him, and went back to Taoist practice. In a few days, the emperor had relaxed his vigilance and summoned the seven princes kneeling outside the Hall of Yangxin to speak. Shortly after the farewell between the father and the son, the emperor fell ill again, and the Taiyi knelt down tremblingly after finishing the pulse, but only scratched his head and did not dare to speak.
After half a month, the emperor with typhoid fever had lost weight and had no effect with any medicine. He held the queen's hand and wept silently, both remorse and shame in his heart, and he hated the seventh prince even more. Since then, the eldest prince has blinded his eyes. The third and eighth princes have been degraded to be ordinary people. The second, fourth, fifth, and sixth princes have all died, and the seventh prince has been disgusted. The nine-year-old prince who is five years old can inherit the throne.
Looking at this horrible situation in front of him, the emperor could not regret it too late, and could only hurriedly arrange his own affairs. He called the four cabinet ministers to the bedside, set up a Zen scripture, ordered Queen Du to become the regent, and promoted Li Li to be the imperial concubine.
He did not trust his subordinates, nor his woman, but he believed in Queen Du, because she had no mother to rely on, nor her own son-in-law. She had no other way of life except to assist the nine sons.
Arranging all this, the emperor closed his eyes in unwillingness, and the nine-year-old emperor, who was only five years old, ascended the throne and pardoned the world. Queen Du was honored as the Queen Mother of the East, and she was obeyed by the curtain. Li Min was honored as the Queen Mother of the West. She was responsible for taking care of the little emperor's daily life. She had no real power in her hands.
Li Min is a very ambitious woman, naturally naturally dissatisfied with this, frequently urged officials to impeach Du Fange, and ordered the Li family to solicit court officials for their own use. But unfortunately, Du Fange's prestige has already been erected among the civil and military officials, and the emperor has long excluded the Li family from the center of power in order to prevent the dictatorship of foreign relatives. Their troubles only told others to see their ambitions and enough of their jokes, but they were of no use at all.
After the emperor was buried in the emperor's mausoleum, the ceremony for the ascension of the emperor was also under intense preparations. In order to embroider the dress of the little emperor and the two queen queens, officials of the Department of the Interior began to select the most skilled embroidery maids across the country and rushed to purchase them Grosgrain.
Suzhou and Hangzhou have been known as the "Home of Silkworms" since ancient times. They are the first station of their selection, not to mention that the queen mother of West Queen's is the governor of Zhejiang Province. Humanity. On the day of the selection, the top embroidery ladies of all Suzhou and Hangzhou gathered together and displayed their best works for evaluation by several officials.
Meng Si, who had not appeared in front of people for a long time, also came, and was carefully putting an embroidery screen on the table. Li Xiudian stood by and looked at her, eyes full of honor.
"The composition is exquisite, the stitching is superb, very good." An official looked at Li Xiudian and immediately nodded and admired.
"The stitching is really superb, but it's not the best. There are already several similar works on this table. If you can't make it outstanding, are you qualified to embroider the dragon robe and phoenix?" Another official looked at Du Ruyan's direction was negated. The two empresses of the east and west have not really fought yet, and the officials below have stood in line.
Meng Si smiled slightly, and then stepped forward generously, turning the circular embroidery screen around.
Everyone on the court suddenly made a gasp. I saw on the front of this embroidery a lady dressing herself in a mirror, her hair was visible, and her beautiful features were lifelike, with some flesh under her gown, which seemed to have a body temperature. Where is this picture? This is clearly a window through which people can watch the maid's every move.
His expressive painting skills and superb stitching methods are already very amazing. What's more wonderful is that the back of this embroidery screen is actually the same scene and characters, but the perspective is different. The servant girl facing the crowd turned her back, and she could only see her beautiful face through the mirror in her hand.
An embroidery painting has two sides, and the patterns on the two sides are not the same. This kind of stitching has never been seen in Da Zhou.
When everyone was stunned, an elderly embroidered girl exclaimed: "I remember, this is a long-lost double-sided embroidery, and it is also the most difficult double-sided meta-color embroidery! I saw it in this ancient book. I thought it was only a legend, but I did n’t expect that someone could actually do it! I have n’t studied this embroidery technique for a lifetime, but Meng Xiu Niang did it! How old is she this year? No! The afterlife is awesome! "
The old embroidered mother walked around the table, looking agitated.
An official supporting the Queen Mother of the West immediately said: "Master Qian, this is the legendary double-sided embroidery. If embroidery skills are mentioned, which one can surpass Meng Xiu Niang? If she can't win, I don't know who to choose. Now. "
Mr. Qian froze his beard and was speechless for a moment. The rest of the officials were clear when they saw the situation. "Yeah, Meng Xiu Niang's embroidery skills are so good. Who else can she choose? I think that's the case."
The other embroidered mothers, look at me, I look at you, but no one stands up against it. The embroidered mother who had presented her work silently retreated, and the embroidered mother who had not presented her work hid the package in her arms behind her, and she was self-defeating.
Seeing this scene, Meng Si bit her lip secretly, feeling agitated. After this incident, she will be able to regain the name of the first embroidered woman in Zhejiang Province. When she comes to Japan to embroider the dragon robe and phoenix robe, I am afraid that even the name of the first embroidered woman in the Great Zhou Kingdom will be included in her pocket. After entering the palace, she would serve her queen mother well, win the favor of the other party, and then try to get her to agree with her marriage with Li Gongzi. By then, everything will be okay, and Meng's Embroidery will be able to dominate the weaving market in Zhejiang Province and even the whole Zhou Dynasty as before.
With this in mind, she looked up at Lin Dan, revealing a rare, proud smile.
Lin Dan didn't look at her at all, but just ordered someone to put a screen up to half a foot behind him and cover it with black cloth into the hall, and slowly said, "Lin Dan from Danyanxiu Village came to participate Election, I ask everyone to look over. "
