Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Summons
Now, everyone was still admiring this beautifully embroidered screen, and no one noticed Lu Yu's expression. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Looking at the mountains and rivers on the screen, I only feel that the mountain streams and springs seem to flow soundly, the mist in the mountains also seems to be drifting and swimming, and a few birds in the air seem to be chirping, the figures on the pavilions and pavilions in the mountains and forests are looming, and there are literati at the bottom of the mountain or by boat, or walking to meet the appointment, these scenery and characters seem to come down from the painting, making people feel like they are there, and they can't help but sigh that this elegant and beautiful place that can be visited and lived, it is really wonderful, miraculous, breathtaking!
Everyone was still immersed in it, and the emperor, who was sitting above, was the first to speak, and he asked Mrs. Liu: "Mrs. Liu, I don't know who made this screen?" ”
Mrs. Liu stood up and saluted the emperor and said, "Avoid it, but ask a woman to embroider it."
The emperor said again: "A woman? Have you been here today? ”
Mrs. Liu said: "She has a humble status and has never come to congratulate the queen on her birthday."
The queen said on the side: "Your Majesty, the concubine would like to see this woman, she can embroider such a painting, and there are few people in the capital, so the concubine is very curious about what kind of woman she is."
The Emperor smiled, "That's what I mean. Mrs. Liu, where is that woman now? ”
Mrs. Liu said: "Back to Your Majesty, that woman is now waiting outside the palace."
After hearing this, the emperor said: "Come and announce her into the palace"
Shen He had already waited on the royal street outside the palace according to Lord Liu's instructions.
Today she came here in a carriage with Mrs. Liu, she had a trace of apprehension in her heart, although she had already experienced a life, she had looked down on life and death, but she had not experienced such a thing in her previous life, and she didn't know what would happen in the palace. The maid of the Liu family took her out of the carriage and brought her to the palace man, and Shen He followed the palace man into the palace.
This is the first time Shen He has come to the palace. In his previous life, he had only seen the outer wall of the palace from afar, and he did not dare to approach it; I didn't expect to be able to come to the palace in this life.
She followed behind the palace people not far away, and did not look closely at the buildings in the palace, but felt that the road of the palace was very wide, and the high walls on both sides gave people a sense of oppression and heaviness, but the palace wall was hung with colorful lanterns of various shapes, showing the joyful atmosphere of the queen's thousand autumn days.
Shen He felt that he had walked for a long time, and finally arrived at a brightly lit place, at this time, a palace person went in to inform the Taoist saint to announce that she had entered the temple, and Shen He came to the palace.
Entering the main hall, I saw a person sitting in the middle of the main hall, wearing a crown through the sky, a jade hairpin, wearing a light yellow embroidered dragon pattern robe, and a large gold and jade belt around his waist, Shen He knew that this was His Majesty the Emperor, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Shen He, a folk girl, participate in Your Majesty"
The emperor didn't look as majestic as she imagined, he looked Shen He up and down and said, "This screen was embroidered by you?" ”
Shen He said: "Back to Your Majesty, exactly"
The queen said on the side: "How did you embroider such a lifelike picture?" ”
Shen He said: "Back to Niangniang, the folk girl has learned the weaving and embroidery method since childhood, and is familiar with various embroidery methods.
The queen suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that you are weaving and embroidering on both sides, so you embroider with such an effect, and you are really a smart girl."
Shen Heqian said: "Thank you for your praise!" ”
The queen said: "Miss Shen embroidered such a strange and exquisite embroidery as a congratulatory gift for the palace, the palace is very pleased, come to give Miss Shen a seat"
At this time, a palace person prepared a seat and placed it on Mrs. Liu's side, and Shen He bowed and went over to sit down.
As soon as she sat down, Shen He felt a familiar gaze looking at her, she raised her eyes slightly, and looked at it, she was shocked by this look, only to see that it was Lu Yu, the former county master of Yong'an City, who had helped her many times and she had not yet had time to repay her!
Ever since Shen He entered the main hall, Lu Yu had been looking at her with playfulness.
This banquet was originally uninteresting, but after this woman came, Lu Yu suddenly felt that it was not so boring.
Shen He was dressed up today, and he was wearing the purple skirt that he had just sewn some time ago. She was going to wear it on the following winter solstice.
Because Shen He knows that the people in the capital value this solar term the most, even if they are very poor, they have to use all their family savings or borrow from others during the year, and they also have to come to this day to change new clothes, prepare food, worship ancestors, and the government also has a place to open the market to celebrate the passing guests, and people are as lively as the New Year on this day. So Shen He made this new set of clothes when he had nothing to do a few days ago, and also helped Xiaocui make a set, but he didn't expect to put it on in advance today.
The skirt in this set of clothes Shen He is made of purple Shu silk, and the cuffs were originally to be embroidered with peonies, but Shen He later changed to embroider light pink lotus, and then used silver thread to outline the outline, and the hem was embroidered with lake blue A row of magnificent sea and sky water clouds.
Shen He used jade-colored brocade and embroidered a few auspicious clouds, this set of clothes looks simple and generous, but it is noble and elegant, and now, at the birthday banquet of the queen's mother, it is not much inferior to those Kyoto ladies.
Several princes and family members at the banquet were paying attention to Shen He's clothes, and even Su Jingrong was full of interest in Shen He's clothes, and quietly asked An Ruoshui: "Sister An, her clothes are so beautiful, I don't know which cloth village it is made in."
When An Ruoshui saw Shen He coming in for the first time, she felt a pang in her heart: Why is she?
When she saw Shen He in Buzhuang at that time, An Ruoshui didn't take her seriously, but just took the opportunity to achieve her goal by sending Mrs. Qi back to her home. Later, when she saw Lord Qi again, she didn't mention Shen He, but said that she happened to meet a woman with Mrs. Qi and was seen by her, so Qi Guang didn't know Shen He.
Now, seeing that Shen He actually came to the banquet and made a big show in front of the queen's mother, An Ruoshui felt a little unhappy in her heart, such a woman is also worthy of sitting at a banquet with her? I really don't know how the queen mother could do such a hasty thing.
How did she know that the queen mother was not hasty, and when she saw Shen He coming in for the first time, she noticed Lu Yu's expression.
Lu Yu has not been close to the emperor since she was a child, but because of the love of the eldest princess, she has been very kind to Lu Yu since she was a child, and once let Lu Yu receive training with the princes in the palace, and Lu Yu and the second prince Xiao Che have also formed a friendship since then.
During that time, Lu Yu was raised by the queen's side almost every day, and she was more familiar with Lu Yu's temperament than others, when Shen He came in just now, Lu Yu was not surprised by others, but had a playful or familiar expression, which couldn't help but arouse the queen's concern and doubts, Yu'er actually knew this girl? What is the relationship between the two? (To be continued.) )
