The group followed Wang Jien to the new mansion, and Leng Yi found that the new mansion was next to the palace, and this area was the residence of the princes and ministers, each more majestic and brilliant than the other.

This is Leng Yi's mansion, which is the prince's mansion of the little prince, and the scale is much more luxurious and magnificent than those of the first and second grades. Inside is even more opulent and extravagant, and all the servants are already ready, and they are all strictly scrutinized. It's just that the prince can have his own personal soldiers, but Leng Yi does not have this qualification, so the original personal soldiers of the mansion have to be evacuated. Leng Yi has his own high-level guards hired with high martial arts, which is equivalent to bodyguards, and the number of people is not large, which is okay.

Leng Yi didn't care about admiring his mansion, and was in a hurry to complete the things assigned by Emperor Zhao Guangyi. Moreover, he also has to help Hua Mingzun do his business. Only when these two things are done well can we feel at ease. Therefore, after settling Zhuo Qiaoniang, Leng Yi immediately followed Wang Jien back to the palace.

The best embroidery girls in the palace have been summoned, and Wang Jien said to them: "The task you have completed is very important, and if you complete it, the official family will be rewarded." However, the contents of the embroidery should be kept absolutely confidential, and if it leaked, no matter who leaked it, all of them were executed. ”

When these embroidery girls heard this, they all trembled, and they didn't know if this errand would be a disaster.

Leng Yi didn't give them the painting directly to start embroidering, because it is unknown whether they can embroider the light and shadow effect of the photo. So, Leng Yi took an oval stone, put it on a table, and said to these embroiderers: "I want your embroidery to be absolutely realistic, that is, to restore the original appearance of the thing as much as possible, rather than trying to beautify it." I'm going to test this ability of yours, and now, please embroider this stone. Remember, be as realistic as possible! ”

The embroiderers put the bandages away, took out the pen, and traced on the rice paper. Embroidery must first have a look, and then it can be embroidered according to the pattern. You can't just embroider on the embroidered cloth. The quality of embroidery, and the level of depicting the sample has a lot to do with it, many embroidery girls embroidery skills are very smart, but they will not be able to draw their own patterns, so they have to ask someone to help or buy others have already painted the appearance to follow the embroidery. However, the embroiderers in the palace are all the best embroiderers selected from the country, and they are all excellent painters who can paint embroidery by themselves.

However, Leng Yi looked at them one by one, and his brows furrowed. The appearance of these embroidered girls' paintings, all of them are made of traditional Chinese white drawing techniques, so that the embroidered things, although the color is gorgeous and the composition is exquisite, but there is no three-dimensional sense, it is impossible to be realistic, and the embroidered things are flat, and it is impossible to be the same as the things in the photo.

Leng Yi called a eunuch waiting next to him and said, "You go to the imperial dining room to find some burned charcoal." Find another big plank. ”

The eunuch was a little puzzled, what did he want to do with this. But I didn't dare to ask more, so I hurried to go, and soon, I brought a dustpan of charcoal with a dustpan.

Leng Yi took a piece of charcoal and tried it, and if it worked, he beckoned the embroidery girls to stop: "Don't spend it, you didn't understand what I said." Didn't do what I asked either. Now, I'm going to tell you how to draw it to meet my requirements. ”

After that, Leng Yi nailed the rice paper to the wooden board, looked at the almost oval stone, and drew it with the technique of sketching.

Leng Yi is not good at painting, but he learned the basics of sketching when he was in middle school, and he still knows the general things.

After the painting was finished, the embroidery girls all looked at the painting in amazement, they had never seen this style of painting skills, compared to their own paintings, they all felt that the painting painted by Leng Yi was more realistic, and they all looked at Leng Yi with stunned eyes.

Wang Jien was also surprised, but the photos on Leng Yi's mobile phone were more realistic than this, and he had already seen it, so he didn't feel too surprised.

After Leng Yi finished painting, he explained to them the basic knowledge of sketch painting, that is, the basic knowledge of light and shadow and perspective. After speaking, he asked these embroiderers to draw the round stone according to what they said.

These embroidery girls are extremely smart people, with Leng Yi's explanation, the embroidery girls quickly touched the doorway, but, after all, they have just come into contact with this new painting technique for them, so they painted for a whole day, and they did not meet Leng Yi's requirements.

Leng Yi said to Wang Jien: "It seems that this matter can't be too anxious, I must wait for them to describe the results I need, and then start embroidering." ”

Wang Jien nodded, and instructed these embroidery girls to practice day and night, and be sure to master this painting method as soon as possible.

After all, these embroidery girls are experts who are good at painting, and no matter what the skills of painting are, the basic content of the painting itself is the same, so the embroidery girls learn very quickly, and on the third day, they have basically mastered the light and shadow to know, and the painting is also very similar, even more similar than Leng Yi's half-hung painting.

On the third day, Leng Yi returned to the mansion from the palace, and Caosui happily told Leng Yi: "Brother-in-law! My sister can see the shadow of a person! ”

Leng Yi was overjoyed, hurriedly rushed in, came to the bed, and saw Zhuo Qiaoniang leaning against the head of the bed, looking at him with a smile.

Before this, Zhuo Qiaoniang was no longer able to lean on the head of the bed like this, but now, she can actually lie on the bed again! Leng Yi's mood was agitated, grabbed her hand, and said, "Qiao Niang!" How do you feel? ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang slowly raised her hand, touched his face, and smiled: "The concubine can see the appearance of the official!" It's just, I can't see clearly! ”

"Don't worry, take your time, now you can see the light and shadow when you recover, which means that the treatment has had obvious results! Moreover, I listen to you speak in a louder voice than before. ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang nodded: "I also feel that I have some strength in my body, and I can hear the voice much more clearly, at noon, I asked the grass to help me sit up, but I didn't fall, it must be much better." ”

"Great! This miracle doctor deserves to be the first imperial doctor in the world. Sure enough, there were two brushes. Hahahaha. ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang also smiled.

Knowing that Zhuo Qiaoniang's condition had improved, Leng Yi was in a good mood, and after those embroidery girls had basically mastered the knowledge of light and shadow perspective, he began to let her draw photos.

However, he didn't use Xiao Zhouhou directly, but found a palace maid, took a picture with his mobile phone, and then asked the embroidery girls to follow the pattern and embroider it.

These embroidery girls were stunned by Leng Yi's such realistic "painting", and they couldn't imagine that there were still people in this world who could draw a person so similar. Leng Yi asked them to draw it according to the photo and then embroider it.

If you look at a real person painting, these embroidery girls who have only undergone three days of vegetarian training will certainly not be able to draw realistic sketches, let alone embroider them. However, if they copy what they already have, that's their strength. In the past, they often embroidered the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, which required copying other calligraphy and paintings. Leng Yi's is a photo, and after explaining the knowledge of light and shadow and perspective, they will know how to copy.

Leng Yi found that the copying method they used was similar to the popular cross-stitch now, which was to use the method of depicting small squares to copy, which ensured that the result of the embroidery was consistent with the height of the original painting.

Under Leng Yi's guidance, it took about ten days, and one of the most heartfelt embroiderers was the most ingenious, and the photo of the palace maid was perfectly restored with embroidery. Leng Yi was very satisfied and asked them to continue practicing until they were perfectly restored.

On this day, when Leng Yi returned home from the palace, he saw Zhuo Qiaoniang standing by the door prettyly, standing by the door, looking at him with a smile.

Leng Yi was surprised and delighted, rushed up, and held her arm: "Qiao Niang! Can you get out of bed?! ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang nodded lightly and looked at Leng Yi happily: "The concubine can also clearly see the appearance of the official!" ”

Leng Yi took her into his arms, hugged her tightly, kissed her hair, and said, "Thank God, your illness is finally cured!" ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang snuggled tightly into his arms and sobbed softly.

On the side, the grass spike shed tears of joy.

After getting the news, Sister Cheng Luojie and Mrs. Feiyi and others came to visit, and they were all very happy.

The next day, Leng Yi sent Zhuo Qiaoniang to the Taiyi Bureau, and after Hua Mingzun treated her for the last time, Leng Yi bowed down and said, "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the divine doctor!" ”

Hua Mingzun said coldly: "I said it, no thanks, because I didn't want to help your lady heal." You just have to remember what you promised and get it done to me as soon as possible. ”

"Don't worry, there has been some progress, if it goes well, it will be completed during the New Year."

"That's good, I've cured your lady's illness, the rest is recuperation, if you want to fully recover, it will take more than half a year, you can't be in a hurry."

"Yes! Thanks a lot! Although Hua Mingzun said that he didn't need to thank him, Leng Yi was happy in his heart, and he still said thank you in the end.

However, the embroidery photos are far more complicated than Leng Yi imagined. After a period of training, almost all embroiderers have been able to perfectly copy the shape of the portrait photo on paper, but it is black and white, and it must be turned into color with embroidery in order to reproduce it perfectly. However, these embroiderers have no such experience in depicting light and shadow effects with embroidered needles and threads, and have been trying to achieve this effect with various stitches. Leng Yi doesn't understand embroidery, and there is no way to help them. They can only figure it out on their own.

Fortunately, I can see a little bit of progress. This is enough to make Leng Yi feel relieved, and now, what is needed is time.

Emperor Zhao Guangyi came to see it a few times, and he also felt that this was a brand-new technique that needed time to be tempered, so he didn't rush it. Fortunately, the guard stall next to Li Yu secretly reported that Li Yu and his wife had not said anything about suicide and martyrdom recently, which made Zhao Guangyi feel a little relieved. Of course, he still used various excuses to often announce that Xiao Zhou would enter the palace, and then the two would have a party all over the palace. Of course, Zhao Guangyi arranged for Leng Yi to hide in a hidden and close place to paint a spring palace painting for them.

Leng Yi didn't want to be a spectator of their **, but there was no way, because Zhao Guangyi asked him to realistically depict the scene between him and Xiao Zhouhou** every time. In the future, embroidery will be made for him to enjoy.

At this time, Leng Yi regretted using this method to trap himself, and he didn't know when he was the head.

Finally, the New Year has arrived.

The New Year in Beijing is much more lively than in Bazhou.

Zhuo Qiaoniang was already able to walk slowly on her own, Leng Yi took her, under the protection of the guards, to enjoy the street scene and watch the lanterns in the capital. Enjoy the strong flavor of the ancient year.

In the first month, there is a New Year's greeting, Leng Yi has been busy with the emperor's affairs or Zhuo Qiaoniang's medical treatment when he first arrived in the capital, and he has not reported to Kaifeng Mansion until now, so there are no familiar officials who need to go to the New Year.

However, he didn't go to greet others, but others took the initiative to come to him to greet him.

Most of these people who came to pay New Year's greetings didn't know Leng Yi, and they hadn't even heard of their names, but they were like friends with Leng Yi for many years, and those with higher grades than him would be respectful to him, or call him brothers. If the grade is low, it is even more vigorous. Moreover, the New Year's gifts sent are heavy.

In fact, Leng Yi knows why this is even if he doesn't have to think about it. He has been busy in the palace during this time, and the emperor personally told Yin Zhao Tingmei of Kaifeng Mansion that Leng Yi would not report to Kaifeng Mansion for the time being, because he was busy with the emperor's affairs in the palace. Before this, Leng Yi was famous in the capital for helping the emperor find the jade seal of the country, and now he is transferred to Kaifeng Mansion, but he is busy with the emperor's affairs, these officials are all shrewd people, how do you not know that Leng Yi is now a big celebrity in front of the emperor, such a character, although now he is only a mere six-rank official, in the capital where there are many high-ranking officials, he is just a small sesame official, but, anyone with a discerning eye knows that such a small official will soon become a big official, not now, when will he stutter?

Leng Yi was tired of dealing with these people every day, but when a big official came later, he couldn't deal with it.

This big official is Leng Yi's current top boss, Kaifeng Mansion Yin and Zhongshu Ling, Emperor Zhao Guangyi's younger brother Zhao Tingmei, King of Qi!

Zhao Tingmei actually came to visit in person, which made Leng Yi very surprised, it stands to reason that Zhao Tingmei, who is the respect of the prince, does not need to please herself at all, even if there is anything, just give orders directly, you don't need to come to the door in person, but she just came.

Leng Yi hurriedly walked out of the door, invited Zhao Tingmei to the lobby, and sat down as the host.

Zhao Tingmei is not very old, her skin is much whiter than that of his brother Zhao Guangyi, and her eyebrows are very thick, and the middle part is almost connected. It looked like he was always frowning.

However, Zhao Tingmei does give people a preoccupied image. Accompanying him was his Master Diao. This Master Diao Leng Yi had heard that it was the master who had sent Cheng Luojie and them down to investigate him, but he suspected that he had been instructed by other people, not Zhao Tingmei.

Looking at this Master Diao now, he also looks obscene, like the housekeeper in the movie "Liu Sanjie".

Zhao Tingmei smiled and said, "When Lord Leng arrived in the capital, I haven't come to visit, so I apologize." ”

Leng Yi heard that his self-proclaimed words were just ordinary "I", and he didn't use the majestic "this king", obviously he wanted to be close, but what is the relationship between a prince and his little sesame official? I couldn't understand it for a while, so I hurriedly arched my hand and said: "Don't dare to be, the prince is serious." ”

Zhao Tingmei smiled and said, "I'm here today, first, to give you New Year's greetings, and secondly, I want to invite you to the family banquet in Mingyue, I don't know if Lord Leng and his wife can appreciate it." ”
