The queen and Mrs. Qingguo, surrounded by the palace maids in colorful clothes, walked side by side.

The queen is in her prime, the phoenix crown is beautiful, graceful and luxurious.

Mrs. Qingguo is immortal, with a moon skirt and an extraordinary bearing.

While everyone bowed down, the queen and Mrs. Qingguo slowly entered the main hall, climbed the main platform covered with thick brocade mats, and sat down in front of everyone.

"Ladies are exempt, please take a seat!" The queen's crisp voice sounded in the hall: "This palace is young, and it is also the first time to organize a Dragon Boat Festival feast, and this feast is thanks to Mrs. Qingguo's guidance." You're all Wu

The more meritorious the minister's virtuous helper, the more meritorious Wu Yue also has merit. Similar to previous years, this year's Dragon Boat Banquet has also set up a colorful head, but it is different from the gifts of previous years, and it will be held later

The palace people will elaborate on the instructions for the ladies. Seeing that it is also noon, let's have a feast first. ”

The palace people who passed the food over there had already rushed in.

A palace maid in a red dress beside the queen cleared her throat and said, "Hello ladies, this year's Caitou will be passed to you with the first dish, and everyone will have a copy." ”

At this moment, the palace man who served the dishes had already put the exquisite fruit bowl and a slender brocade bag on the small table.

Shen Mingyan was very curious and opened the brocade bag, and inside was a beautifully painted peony picture. Qin Qingyu is a lotus picture of a new lotus with blue leaves. Li Jinnian's peach blossoms, and Mrs. Li's pomegranate flowers. Four

People looked at each other and couldn't understand what it meant.

"All the ladies and girls, the embroidery girls should have seen the pictures in the brocade bag. This is a picture of a hundred flowers carefully copied by the palace painter. If you feel that you can embroider the finished product according to the portrait, you can apply for it. Later, there will be people from the palace who will go to inquire. Recording. After the feast, the palace keepers who manage the weaving will provide embroidery utensils. As long as you can embroider the colors on the picture, you can win the jackpot. Of course, you

Our embroidery should be at least eight points similar to the image. ”

There was a low discussion in the hall for a while.

"You should all know that next month, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou will come to the Western Capital to issue the golden seal of the Danshu to the king. The previous dynasty has its own hospitality from the previous dynasty, and the queen also wants to lead our Wu Yue's women to do their part

Heart, embroidered a large screen of flowers for the queen mother of the Great Zhou. Due to the lack of time, the queen summoned you to help. ”

Seeing that the second and third dishes came up, the palace maid in the red dress continued: "If our embroidery is loved by the queen of Da Zhou, the ladies and girls of Da Zhou will naturally love it, so let's Wu."

The more the silk. Embroidery can naturally be exported to Da Zhou. It was a great good thing for both the merchants and the imperial court. The servant has thanked you for the queen in advance. Please also eat and have fun, embroider!

I won't bother you much, so please enjoy the food slowly. ”

Shen Mingyan silently put the painting back, she was really not good at embroidery.

Shen Mingyan saw that Qin Qingyu also put away the painting. Leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "Mother." though the queen was young. It's a long-term vision. Quite a talent for business. ”

Qin Qingyu smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "It's nonsense again, the queen is something you can talk about casually?"

"What did Aunt Qin and Sister Shen say?" Li Jinnian said with a smile: "But we discussed how to win the championship?"

"Look at you!" Mrs. Li looked at her daughter and smiled: "It's just that you love to be in the limelight, but you don't want to get an axe!"

My sister laughed. My sister-in-law is really not very good at embroidery, let alone winning the championship, she can't embroider such a complex pattern at all. ”

"No!" Li Jinnian's mouth was open: "I see that Sister Shen's fingers are slender and well-proportioned, and she is the most expert in embroidery!"

"Really!" Shen Mingyan looked at Li Jinnian and smiled slightly: "I'm in a hurry, and I always can't embroider well!"

"Oh. Li Jinnian smiled faintly and did not speak again.

The exquisite dishes were one after the other, and the meal lasted for nearly two hours.

Finally, after serving a dessert, I put on a mouthwash. It means that the feast is over.

The palace people have already made a list of the participants in the embroidery one by one and handed it to the queen.

The girl in the red dress got up again and looked at everyone and said: "The ladies and girls who want to embroider will stay in the palace and be inspected by the queen herself, and the ladies and girls who do not participate in embroidery will go to the imperial garden with Mrs. Qingguo."

Gather here in the evening and leave the palace together!"

Mrs. Qingguo had already gotten up and moved outside the hall surrounded by several Lady of the Command.

Since the mother and daughter of the Li family all left embroidery, Shen Mingyu took Qin Qingyu out of the hall.

The embroidery girls naturally stayed in the hall, and some of the ladies with good embroidery skills also left. There are only a dozen people who have come out with Mrs. Qingguo. Except for a few Lady Commanders, the Shen family is left

and the daughter of the Wu family.

Everyone followed Mrs. Qingguo all the way to the imperial garden on the north side of Lihua Palace. At this moment, the garden is full of flowers, a beautiful scene.

Mrs. Qingguo chatted with several ladies of the Decree Order.

Mrs. Sun has been accompanying Lu Xiuying's mother and daughter since she entered the palace, and Mrs. Wu talked and laughed together, which also seemed very harmonious, but Shen Ming's mother and daughter were a little lonely.

Xu Huifang naturally accompanied Mrs. Qingguo out, and at this moment, she saw that the Qin family's mother and daughter were alone, so she smiled at Mrs. Qingguo: "Is that pair of immortal-like mother and daughter invited by you?

The young brother who is not angry is going to be beaten, such a lovely girl, he still doesn't know what to do. Now it seems that I blamed the second master for protecting my sister-in-law. Don't say it's the second master, it's just that I've seen such a good one

The girl will inevitably feel pity. ”

Mrs. Qingguo only smiled faintly and walked over to Shen Ming's mother and daughter: "Hello Mrs. Shen!

Qin Qingyu hurriedly pulled Shen Ming to salute: "I've seen Mrs. Qingguo!"

"Sister Qin!" Mrs. Qingguo smiled brightly and changed her title: "Seeing it today really makes my sister happy and convinced! Qing'er is right, as long as I see me, I will definitely like your mother and daughter." ”

Shen Mingyu was happy that the Qin family mother and daughter were ignored, and at this moment, when she saw Mrs. Qingguo take the initiative to talk to them, her face turned white with anger for a while.

That's Second Master Hu's mother-in-law!

Shen Mingyu originally thought that she would let the kind-hearted Mrs. Xiangguo in front of her build a bridge for her, but she didn't think that Qin's daughter would take the lead again!

At this moment, Mrs. Deputy Xiangguo looked at Shen Mingyu, Shen Mingyan, and then at Shen Mingyan not far away, and smiled at Lu Xiuying: "Mrs. Shen, why don't you go and talk to Mrs. Qingguo!"

Mrs. Sun led Lu Xiuying to Mrs. Qingguo and gave a deep blessing: "Mrs. Qingguo, this is the wife of the tea merchant Shen Xianling." ”

Before Mrs. Qingguo could speak, Xu Huifang on the side smiled and said, "Mrs. Sun, you can't admit that you are wrong, this is!" Xu Huifang looked at Qin Qingyu as she spoke: "She is Shen Xianling's wife!" )
