Chapter 256: Deliberately making things difficult

Time passed in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day after tomorrow, when the crown princess held a flower-viewing banquet.

Jiang Yingli slowly entered the prince's mansion with Mrs. Hou, and she had been secretly vigilant in her heart, after all, Jiang Yingli and Mrs. Hou had guessed that the prince would not let the six princes go free, and he must be looking for some trouble for him.

For this reason, Jiang Yingliang's first reaction was that this flower-viewing banquet was like a Hongmen banquet, so she was so careful.

Mrs. Hou also made this guess, put away all her thoughts, and forcibly cheered up, unwilling to have any flaws, so that people could hold on to affect Yun Chuan's actions.

When the two of them arrived, they saw that the ladies and young ladies who basically had some faces in Beijing had gathered here, and the crown princess was like the seven-star arch moon, surrounded by people and sitting on the top.

"I've seen the crown princess." Although Jiang Yingli has won the rank of the county lord, it is not enough in the end.

The crown princess was very cold about this, and she raised her eyes very arrogantly and glanced at her contemptuously, but when her eyes fell on Mrs. Hou on the side, she slightly restrained her contempt.

"Sit down when you're here."

When Jiang Yingli heard this, her heart became active again, if it weren't for Mrs. Hou here, probably she would have been hanging here all the time, right?

It's just that as soon as he sat down, Jiang Yingli looked around, but he was very surprised that he didn't see the prince, and couldn't help but be surprised, lowered his voice and leaned into Mrs. Hou's ear, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you see His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Mrs. Hou's eyes rolled slightly, she also lowered her voice, and said softly: "I vaguely heard it just now, saying that the prince was busy with other things, so he didn't come to attend the flower viewing banquet." ”

Jiang Yingli crossed a trace of surprise in his heart, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not there, then this flower-viewing banquet would be different from the Hongmen banquet they thought. In this way, this flower-viewing feast is no different from those banquets in the past.

It's just a group of women who are bored to show off and compete for beauty.

Thinking like this, Jiang Yingli was relieved, planning to lower his sense of existence like watching his nose and nose, and planning to fool the past until the end of this flower-viewing banquet.

But God does not fulfill people's wishes, and today's crown princess seems to be on the same page as Jiang Yingliang.

"I heard that Miss Jiang's embroidery kung fu has always been good, and it has attracted all the major ladies in the capital to imitate it, and the embroidery under the Yingshan Embroidery Workshop has also made everyone grab their heads."

Hearing the princess's words that seemed to have some deep meaning, Jiang Yingli felt bad in her heart, but she had no choice but to crush people to death at the top of the official, the other party was the high-ranking princess, and she was just a county lord in name only, so she had to pretend to be sincerely frightened, and said in a low voice: "The princess praises falsely, the craftsmanship of the courtiers is really not on the table." ”

"Oh? When you say that, aren't you saying that the young ladies who robbed you of your embroidery are blind? The crown princess sneered, as if she had made up her mind to make things difficult for Jiang Yingliang.

Jiang Yingliang's heart tightened, the panic on his face was even worse, and his voice trembled slightly, as if he was not frightened: "The courtiers don't dare." ”

"Whether it's a false praise or not, and you'll know if you try it." The crown princess glanced at Jiang Yingli lightly, as if with a casual finger, she pointed to a cluster of blooming peonies beside the small pond not far away.

"Embroider the flower."

Jiang Yingli looked at the princess's hand, and saw that the flower seemed to be unusual, she raised her eyebrows slightly, but she also understood in her heart that the princess was destined to make things difficult for herself today.

Embroidery is actually not difficult, but what is difficult is the reaction of the crown princess after embroidery.

Peony has always been said to be a national color, but after the flower, I don't know what the princess asked her to embroider this peony, what is the deep meaning.

"What, Miss Jiang doesn't want to?"

Seeing that Jiang Yingli was stunned, the crown princess raised her eyebrows in displeasure, and her words were a lot sharper, making it clear that she wanted to suppress people.

"The crown princess commanded, and the courtiers didn't dare to disobey."

Jiang Yingli took a deep breath, still acting in a state of sincere fear, but in her heart she couldn't help but keep complaining, it was really a feudal society that killed people, under the rule of this person, the imperial power was supreme, she was like a small ant, she could be crushed to death with a finger at any time.

She was originally very Buddhist, but at this moment, she had some transformation, and suddenly she wanted the six princes to succeed in their great affairs and ascend to the supreme dragon seat. In this way, Qiu Muyun has the skill of being a dragon, and she can also take this free ride, and she will no longer be bullied at will, right?

Someone had already brought the needle and thread in front of her, and Jiang Yingli threw out the messy thoughts in her mind just now, took the needle and thread, and concentrated on embroidering the cluster of peonies.

"Miss Jiang is really good at embroidery, just looking at the posture, even if it is the embroidery girls in the palace, it can't be compared." The crown princess lowered her head, glanced at Jiang Yingliang, who was embroidering, and spoke in a cold voice again.

On the surface, she was praising Jiang Yingliang, but in fact, she was comparing her, a high-ranking county lord, with an embroidery girl, and her humiliation was self-evident.

When the crown princess spoke, there were a bunch of people at the bottom who echoed it, but Jiang Yingli Quan couldn't hear it, and her ears didn't hear what was going on outside the window, and her white onion-like fingertips carried a very thin gold thread on the satin.

In just a few moments, a cluster of lifelike golden peonies appeared on the satin.

The crown princess took a look, her eyes lit up slightly, and she exclaimed: "Miss Jiang is really worthy of her reputation, this embroidery skill is so good, no wonder those boudoir ladies snatched their heads." ”

This sentence seemed to be sincere, but before Jiang Yingli could thank him, he heard the princess turn a corner again, and said meaningfully and ill-intentionedly: "It's just that I asked you to embroider the peony next to the peony, but you embroidered this golden peony, but what is the metaphor?" ”

Jiang Yinglian's heart jumped, and sure enough, the crown princess was going to take the opportunity to make trouble.

After the peony is in the flower, it can also refer to the queen. And the thread handed over by the next person is only the gold thread.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mrs. Hou immediately stepped forward to relieve the siege: "Don't be surprised by the princess, the little girl is dull, but she has to do a lot of work on this needlework, so I am afraid that I am mistaken, thinking that the princess is referring to the peony, and seeing that the flower is in full bloom, I want to coax the princess to smile, and the princess is precious, and only the embroidery of gold thread can be worthy." And from the courtier's point of view, the gold thread in the prince's mansion is much more delicate than the outside. ”

The crown princess saw that Mrs. Hou opened her mouth, thinking about today's events, so she had no choice but to follow her words and stop making things difficult for Jiang Yingliang.

Jiang Yingli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Mrs. Hou gratefully, but she still didn't dare to relax in her heart.
