Chapter 36: Embroidery
Concubine Xian listened to Chu Tianze's words, and her smile instantly froze on her face: How could the emperor know...... Concubine Xian looked at Fu Xuan's eyes with some indignation.
Fu Xuan was also shocked when he heard Chu Tianze's words, and then looked at Concubine Xian's eyes, secretly screaming in his heart, and hurriedly took a step back and said to Chu Tianze: "Emperor Qi, the slave maid can't think of such a good idea, this is Concubine Xian's idea." Niangniang knew that the slave maid and His Royal Highness King Ning knew each other, so she invited me to Changchun Palace to ask His Royal Highness King Ning's preferences. ”
"That's right. Chu Tianze glanced at Fu Xuan deeply, and then smiled at Concubine Xian, "Since that's the case, Concubine Xian should be rewarded." ”
Concubine Xian breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether the emperor believed it or not, anyway, Fu Xuan said that he had given himself a step, and the other concubines believed it, so it would be good not to lose face to herself, so she hurriedly stepped forward to thank her: "Concubine thank the emperor for the reward." ”
Chu Tianze nodded and asked Concubine Xu, "What does Concubine have in mind?"
Concubine Xu replied: "The first generation of the mourning family thanked the emperor, the queen mother and all of you for their intentions. Concubine Xian and Yi Zhaoyi's methods are very good, but I'm afraid that it will be too troublesome. In fact, not all of you have to give gifts, everyone here is a master of both talents, why not show it at the banquet? The banquet should be happy for everyone. ”
"Okay, then according to what the concubine said, the gifts you want to give, the performances you want to perform. Chu Tianze said and looked at the concubine seat, and said with a smile, "Concubine Chen's dance and Wen Jieyu's qin, I am looking forward to it, and it will be up to you then." ”
"The concubine obeys. Wen Xiyue glanced at Chu Tianze and replied softly, the smile and eyes were gentle.
It's rare, as tall as Wen Xiyue, I'm afraid that only in the face of the emperor will he show such a demeanor. It's so charming to let go of the man you love and be gentle. Guan Guan sighed in his heart, he really likes it.
However, for the same thing, Concubine Chen had a completely different reaction from Wen Xiyue.
"Your Majesty, the concubines haven't learned dance steps for a long time, I'm afraid that they are rusty, and I hope the emperor will forgive them. Concubine Chen said calmly and unhurriedly.
Everyone was dissatisfied with Concubine Chen's late arrival, but as soon as these words came out, their dissatisfaction with Concubine Chen deepened a little. Why is this Concubine Chen so unsightly, not even the emperor in her eyes.
But Chu Tianze didn't seem to be angry, and smiled in the direction of Concubine Chen: "It seems that everyone has no chance to see Concubine Ai's amazing dance this time." It's okay, next time I'm done, I'll jump to show me. ”
Chu Tianze's connivance with Concubine Chen, and the doting in his tone, Guan Guan saw it in his eyes, and suddenly felt that he was a little envious, it was really amazing. Growing up, looking at the happiness of my parents, sister and brother-in-law, I thought that all couples in the world got along like this, and it was only after I arrived at the palace that I realized how difficult this happiness was. I thought that the emperor would not spoil and care for anyone, but I thought wrongly, not nothing, but it was not myself who was treated with my heart. A thought suddenly flashed through Guan Guan's mind, if he could do this to himself...... Stop, what are you thinking, from entering the palace, you no longer have this right, don't you, Guanguan.
The Queen Mother didn't like Concubine Chen, where could she see her brilliant? After searching for a circle of people in the palace, she fixed her eyes on Guan Guan: "Guan Meiren will also perform a show when the time comes!"
Guanguan was still immersed in his own world, but he didn't want to be suddenly named by the Queen Mother, and he was a little stunned for a while.
At this time, Pei Rong, who was standing behind Wen Xiyue and waiting, looked at Guan Guan at a loss, suddenly remembered something, and whispered in Wen Xiyue's ear: "Isn't this official beauty not specialized in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Pei Rong covered her mouth and snickered after speaking.
When Wen Xiyue heard this, she rarely pulled the corners of her mouth, and said angrily: "You!" said and continued to take a sip of the tea in his hand.
These words were heard by Wang Yuan, who was sitting at the bottom, and thought that it was really good, just seize this opportunity to humiliate and humiliate her. It turns out that Guanguan can only embroider?
Wang Yuan immediately said: "It is said that the official beauty is very good at embroidery, why don't you perform an embroidery when the time comes?"
Everyone was stunned at first, and then they covered their mouths and snickered. Who uses embroidery as a talent?
The Queen Mother also looked at Guan Guan in puzzlement, and even Guan Guan felt the curious and inquiring gaze from Chu Tianze.
As soon as Guan Guan heard Wang Yuan's words, he knew that it was the last time Baohua Palace, and glanced at Wen Xiyue's direction, and she happened to be looking at herself. Guan Guan suddenly felt a little funny. Well, I'm worried about how to return to the Queen Mother, what to perform, don't think about it now, everyone else has thought about it for themselves.
Guan Guan got up from his seat with an indifferent expression: "Embroidery is naturally no problem, but the concubine is worried that the embroidery on the spot is too time-consuming, and it will consume the time of the banquet in vain. It's better for the concubine to go back and carefully prepare an embroidery and give it to His Royal Highness King Ning at that time. If the sisters want to see the process of embroidery by the concubine herself, the concubine can go to the banquet to complete the final process. ”
The Queen Mother looked at Guan Guan's eyes a little strangely, and said uncertainly: "Do you really want to perform embroidery?
Everyone laughed again when they heard this, I'm afraid that people can't play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!
In fact, Guan Guan didn't feel the need to show anything, but these concubines seemed to have a great prejudice against embroidery. Guanguan has been greatly influenced by embroidery since childhood, although he also understands that most of these women with status have this attitude towards embroidery, but being ridiculed like this also raised a sense of amazement, not for himself, but for the art of embroidery. Now she suddenly understood the helplessness she had seen on the faces of the show girls. Guan Guan suddenly had a strong sense of mission, he should justify the name of embroidery, even if he only relied on his meager strength, it may not affect anything.
Guan Guan raised his head, glanced at everyone in the hall, and finally met the queen mother's gaze, and said indifferently: "Back to the queen mother, the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are elegant, but there are sisters performing, and the concubines will not be ugly." It is better for the concubine to perform an uncommon performance for you to try it, His Royal Highness King Ning has not returned for many years, and I want to be interested in the exquisite embroidery in Shangjing. The concubine has been learning embroidery with her mother since she was a child, and the embroidery is still good, and she will not be disappointed when she comes. ”
The Queen Mother did not express her position. I still don't quite agree, after all, she has lived for decades, and some of her ideas have long been ingrained.
Wen Xiyue looked at Guanguan, but it was different, she still couldn't look at the embroidery, but at this moment, she praised Guanguan, which made people look at it.
Chu Tianze was the first time he had seen such an official. is not like the rigid and conservative on weekdays, such a firm look, like a female general who is proud of the world. Chu Tianze looked in the direction of Guanguan, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly: "Okay, I'll wait and see." ”
