Chapter 31 The wicked have their own grinding

What the?!

The group of people who pretended to be dead earlier were instantly activated by Yu Ziying's "embroidery", and they stared at Yu Ziying with the same ridiculous gaze.

β€”β€”The eldest princess of the dignified imperial kingdom did not learn the "eight arts" of the high, but went to learn the means of making a living from the inferior people in foreign lands?

It has been recorded - plain to embroider, a woman in a foreign land swaying in the placket, sweating to wipe.

It is based on the dialectic of many Chinese original writers that the skill of "embroidery" began with the "clumsiness" of a woman in a foreign land, and was later introduced to the Central Plains by businessmen, which was one of the means for poor peasant women in the Central Plains to make a living.

Even if "embroidery" has developed so far, it basically exists in all aspects of every household, such as clothing, bedding, uppers, and ...... Regardless of status, it is still used, but the profession of "embroidery" is still not on the table in the aristocratic circle, because it comes from a foreign land, and the xenophobic principle of human nature is worshipped, which makes people very happy and generously accepted; The second is that the people who do embroidery have a low status, and the source of the embroidery products is mostly some poor peasant women of the lower third class who do not know a single word, and how can this kind of people at the grassroots level of society be worthy of the respect of the nobles?

Therefore, as far as they are concerned, they can pay for beautiful embroidery, no matter how expensive it is, but they will never learn to imitate it themselves.

When Mu Lige heard that Yu Ziying wanted to choose "embroidery", he was also a little stunned, and his face was weird.

- It's not that he thinks embroidery is inferior, but he never thought that she could know how to embroider!

"Oh?" Yuwen Qinglian narrowed his eyes, his expression a little surprised.

And Yuwen Ying is standing on the Zixing platform, she is used to playing the little white flower, seeing that the limelight is fierce now, under the eyes of everyone, she intends to show her beautiful side.

Her white and innocent little face smiled shyly, her cheeks melted, and she whispered softly to Yu Ziying: "I can't imagine that Princess Bao Dai is still such a hidden person, Ying'er is not talented, since Bao Dai Gong is the main challenge, I don't know how you plan to compete?" ”

Yu Ziying drooped her eyelids, too lazy to watch her play the scene of sour and big teeth.

"We embroider the same scene, and the time of one pillar of incense is limited." A white finger is drawn in the air, the warp and weft are distinct, and the range is cut.

"I agree." Yuwen Ying smiled shyly, then blinked her innocent eyes, tilted her head and asked beautifully, "I just don't know what Princess Baodai is going to embroider?" ”

Yu Ziying raised her eyelids at this time, her calm gaze drifted over the stargazing platform mottled like a turtle shell, her gaze has been extending into the distance, the light from the clouds reflected around her, she was dressed in a golden dress like a phoenix fluttering in the wind, the tail end of the crystal embroidery piece shone in the light, the phoenix soared into the sky, her indifferent and calm expression seemed to be out of the mortal body, and flew to the fairy palace above the top of the clouds, overlooking the green and vast peaks.

Time became very light and slow in her quiet exploration, and they were like a puppet thread being pulled by her, and the people around them couldn't help but hold their breath and look at her in amazement.

"Just embroider it."

Her lonely and far-sighted expression fell into the eyes of those who cared, and they were all puzzled and surprised.

- This princess Bao Dai seems to be different from the original.

It's like the same face, if you give it temperament, it will become beautiful, and if you give it hideous, it will become very ugly, so the same face, interpreted by different people, can create a different feeling.

Of course, even if they would be surprised to encounter Princess Bao Dai's expression that was different from their understanding, they would never believe that Princess Bao Dai would really be as beautiful as this reverie and floating picture.

"You...... You mean the mountains and mountains...... What about the east? Different from what others pay attention to, Yuwen Ying saw what Yu Ziying was pointing at, and her pupils immediately shrank, her lips tightened for a long time, and she squirmed for a long time before swallowing the roar in her mouth, she pulled out a reluctant smile, Si Swenwen: "...... Although the range is very wide and it is difficult to pick colors, since Princess Bao Dai is confident, then I naturally have no problem. ”

- You're not sick, can you make such a majestic picture of the peaks, can you do it with a pillar of incense? There are hundreds of different kinds of embroidery threads just for changing! I bought a watch last year!

Yuwen Ying was about to be blown up by Yu Ziying's "ignorance".

Yuwen Qinglian didn't know how to embroidery, and she naturally didn't understand what the difficulties were, so she ordered someone to go down and prepare what the two of them needed.

After a while, several palace people moved two embroidery frames with their hands and feet, and two baskets of dense embroidery threads.

Yuwen Qinglian said: "The thread required for embroidery must be selected by the two princesses, please do it yourself." ”

Yuwen Ying didn't care about being reserved and fighting for time to be the first to go up, she looked at the stacks of threads, dialed them around, and Yu Ziying squatted on the side of the basket, poured out all the embroidery threads, and put them in a stack after smoothing, which was clear at a glance.

Yuwen Ying's afterglow saw Yu Ziying's movements stiffen, her eyes rolled, and she immediately changed the blind search just now, and also learned that she poured out all of the bamboo baskets and then selected.

Yuwen Qinglian saw Yuwen Ying's actions, and his eyes were slightly cold.

- What a fool, there are thousands of ways to choose embroidery threads, and I want to learn the one of "Princess Bao Dai", isn't this inferior at the beginning?

After picking out the color thread they need, the two of them finished saluting in front of Emperor Jing's throne, and then sat in front of the embroidery frame, and a large copper tripod furnace was placed on the star platform, about half a person high, Yuwen Qinglian personally stepped forward to light a pillar of purple incense that could burn for about half an hour, and then bowed to Emperor Jing and the envoys and VIPs, and announced the beginning.

β€”β€”

"Embroidery? Ben Hou was not interested in this kind of shoddy thing, so he left first. Arrogant had long been impatient with this kind of marriage event, and it would drag on until now just to find Yin Sheng's spy, he pulled the black deerskin gloves and prepared to get up and leave.

- He didn't remember having a relationship with Yuwen Sakura at all.

"Walk slowly, don't send." Waving his hand casually, Zhi Yi stared at the three-nil girl on the stargazing platform who was forever dazzling, at least dazzling his eyes.

- No matter what the baby sister becomes, it is so heart-pounding and bloody.

Arrogant movements froze, frowning and glancing at anger.

- Is this so strange that the sound of stepping on a cloud sounds swollen?

When he was jealous and bored, he poured a few bottles of mellow liquor, crossed his legs on the table, sat on the chair and swayed up and down, the pale cheeked and thin face, floating a little red and crimson, he licked his thin lips that were red and eye-catching, and grinned hissively, and the hoarse metal chorus sounded: "The main hall feels strange, usual, interesting~"

Arrogantly bent the corners of his peach pink lips, and his eyes swept over the empty glasses in front of the table as if he were nothing: "Interesting to the point of drinking to relieve boredom?" The degree of duplicity in the palace is really astonishing. ”

The action of leaning back against the chair and shaking suddenly stopped, staring directly at the air with an expressionless face, narrowing two rows of thick eyelashes, the air had begun to be filled with a kind of cold killing intent that was about to come from the storm, but then Lust suddenly smiled and said: "Since you are bored, why don't the four of us take a gamble?" ”

"What do you mean?" Jealousy squinted.

"The so-called boredom doesn't mean that you have no curiosity about what happened next, since you are so sure, then why don't the four of us take a gamble, which of the two on this stage will win or lose?" The voice of lust is like a double bass, and the slow twist is full of demagoguery.

Angry was the first to express his opinion: "I participated, I~ Naturally, I bet on Princess Bao Dai to win." ”

"Hmph, I know that idiot woman very well, she has nothing else to do except have the ability to eat and sleep like a pig, and eat when she sleeps, I bet ...... Another woman wins. Jealousy proudly raised his slender chin, because of his close relationship with Mu Lige, jealousy's understanding of "Princess Bao Dai" was better than the other three.

It's a pity that this "Princess Bao Dai" is not the other "Princess Bao Dai".

"What if you win and what if you lose?" Arrogant sat back down, he was more pragmatic, there was no bet on the lottery, and he said he was still bored.

"Then let the loser unconditionally promise the winner a thing, of course, this matter will not involve the country, and it is definitely not a thing that cannot be done, how about it?" The lips hidden in the dark of lust drew an arc with ulterior motives, and the words played with the tip of his tongue, exhaling a sweet and greasy taste.

"Oh, it's worth the bet, okay, I'll participate, I'll bet that...... The woman who fought against Princess Bao Dai. ”

Obviously, after the jealousy, he was another person who didn't remember the name of Princess Yuwen Sakura at all.

"What about you?" Nu asked.

"What I like most is to challenge, to make the impossible possible, generally what others don't like, I like it when I am born, and what others like, but I feel disgusted, so guess who I will choose?" Lust chuckled.

Who else could it be so obvious?

"So it's two to two? Oh, that's fair. Angrily raised his wine glass and shook his head and smiled, a glass into his throat, and his slightly drunk clear ink eyes were cold.

- By all indications, lust seems to be interested in the child.

β€”β€”

When Yuwen Qinglian announced the start, the first to put down the needle was Yuwen Ying, she faced the east, staring at the unpredictable scenery of the peaks, first wearing dark colors and light, embroidering one by one, her expression was extremely focused and serious.

Time is limited, she does not plan to embroider the panorama on a large scale, but to refine the local details, to push the way to trace the picture, that is, to subdivide the panorama into four corners, with peaks, clouds, streams, and the sky as the main four corners, and other details are omitted, but only the four corners of the embroidery is also very tested, and the time required is by no means ordinary.

Normally, she needs to trace a drawing before embroidery, but in order to save time, she only traces a rough outline, roughly pushes it, and then begins to embroider.

But even so, it took her nearly ten percent of her time to prepare.

But when Yu Ziying began to embroider, she was still motionless, neither copying the drawings nor starting to move, but staring at the east with a dull gaze, as if she had sat down, and did not move for a long time.

"Huh? What's going on with her? Then the Sakura princess has started, why is she still motionless? "Someone couldn't sit still and started muttering.

"I don't think she'll be able to, the momentum she pretended to be just now gone." Someone ridiculed.

"In that case, why don't you step down?"

"Hehe, brother, you don't understand this, the princesses who came to participate in the marriage of our dynasty and the Yuan Kingdom, they all came by holy order, this can stay on the stage for a moment longer and have one more chance for them to be appreciated by Emperor Jing, even if they lose clearly, if they can be looked at by His Majesty in private, then the result is not the same? So, even if she is Lai, she will stay on the stage and refuse to leave. ”

"I really don't know if you have this kind of idea...... It's so undignified. ”

As soon as he was instigated, some people became angry, and they originally scolded "Princess Bao Dai" for being shameless, but when they thought of what Wuxiang Guoshi said just now, they suffocated it again.

On the envoy's seat, arrogant and unaware of where did Lu Dao take out a feather crane fan, and slowly shook the fan: "Anger, lust, this kind of look, you still plan to insist on what you have seen?" ”

"What's the hurry, as long as the game isn't over, anything is possible." Angry and melodious.

"Hopefully, you'll be in that cheerful mood at the end of the game." Arrogance also smiled back.

β€”β€”

The humming sound of a beehive in the audience was not heard, Yuwen Qinglian looked back and saw that the purple fragrance had burned about a quarter, and when she looked at Yu Ziying again, she found that she had suddenly started to move needles.

Yes, she moved the needle, skipping the step of tracing the appearance and moving the needle directly on the white cloth.

She didn't move at all as if she were sitting still, but this movement was a thrilling, magnificent scene, her embroidery needles were flying, incredibly fast, and the people who were buzzing just now were stunned.

- Damn, what the hell is this speed!

And Yuwen Ying heard the gasp around her, and when she looked up strangely, she was shocked, only to see that Yu Ziying, who was sitting on her side, could barely see the speed of movement, which could be called tricky speed.

Yuwen Ying was directly dumbfounded.

However, she quickly came back to her senses, and thought very sourly in her heart - although this princess Bao Dai is extremely fast, embroidery is not only about speed, but also about typesetting and quality.

So she focused on embroidery, not seeking the fastest, but only for quality.

Among the present, only Mu Lige's mood was the most complicated, his eyes were blazing staring at Yu Ziying, and he was full of wonder in his heart, she had practiced such a partial?

Do you know how to embroider? In fact, she can't, so she can learn, just now when Yuwen Ying was embroidering in the dance room, she has been using all her attention to observe, her thread selection steps and stitching methods are reflected in her mind one by one, and then repeatedly practice reinforcement.

Although the stitching method she will only be the one of Yuwen Ying just now, but this is enough, she is like a precision embroidery instrument at the moment, first imprinted the drawings into her mind like a grid, she used nearly a quarter of the time of the pillar of incense, in her mind, assigned the shade of color, layout specifications, and the overall outline, and quickly embroidered on the white silk.

This is not difficult, as long as you have a good mind that is good at calculation and coordination, it can be as simple as cross-stitch.

Is cross-stitch hard? Actually, no, it's just that not everyone has a mind like a precision instrument like Yu Ziying.

Yu Ziying's embroidery method is different from Yuwen Ying, Yuwen Ying takes the detailed route, while she takes the general route, just like a painting, some people focus on a mountain's trees, stones, streams, paths, animals and the like, and she directly paints a mountain.

So on a white silk, she is a little east, a little west, a little up, a little down, a little in the middle, and slowly depicts a painting.

From the point of view of details, it is just a colorful interweaving of the dots, but when you have a wide field of vision and look at it as a whole, it is a shocking picture of thousands of mountains.

Wait for a pillar of incense.

Yu Ziying finished collecting the needle and breaking the thread, while Yuwen Ying hurriedly wanted to prick one more needle, but was stopped by the sound of shouting that the time was up, stopped in mid-air, and glanced at Yu Ziying after the most reluctant, so she had to put it down helplessly and unwillingly.

After Yuwen Qinglian shouted that the time was up, she looked at Yuwen Ying's appearance of "not enough time, not good at the exam", and her eyes fell on Yu Ziying, who was easy to collect the needle, but she was a little more gloomy, when she was about to step forward to take a look at the embroidery of the two, but suddenly heard a voice from behind the high heavy curtain throne, a voice from the bones was alienated and indifferent.

"Bring the embroidery."

Yuwen Qinglian was stunned for a moment, and turned his head suddenly, his eyes full of astonishment and puzzlement - that voice was actually an order given by Emperor Jing himself?

"Yes."

"Obey." But she didn't want Yuwen Qinglian to respond as soon as she spoke, and another rigid and cold voice overshadowed her voice, but she saw a burly man with a Kunlun slave mask on half of his face stepping down from the side of the heavy curtain throne.

She should understand that what Emperor Jing just said was not what Emperor Jing told her at all.

In an instant, embarrassment, shame, shame and other emotions came to her head, causing her face to appear blue, red and white.

This matter could have been handed over to her, but he sent someone else forward, what does this mean?!
