It's night, inside the Imperial Palace.

The night is deep, the stone lamps with sharp corners on all sides of the palace are lit by the palace people one by one, and the moonlight falls to the ground through the mottled laurel shadow, reflecting the warm yellow candlelight, which is a little less cold and a little more fireworks in the world.

Inside the house, the emperor leaned on the small leaf rosewood table beside him, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and watched the concubine sitting in the hall and stroking the piano.

The concubine is very well maintained, the ten fingers are as white and delicate as a new onion, the sound of the piano is melodious and floating, sometimes eager, sometimes soothing, the woman's hands are flexible in their movements, and the cuffs of the pale cyan silk also rise and fall with her movements of stroking the piano, sometimes revealing a small piece of the concubine's white wrist.

One green and one white, the skin of the concubine is like condensation, and it is very eye-catching.

The emperor looked fixedly, only to feel that his throat was a little itchy, only to see him put down the tea cup in his hand, straightened up, and his eyes still fell on the hands of the concubine.

The concubine lowered her head and stroked the qin, completely unaware of the emperor's abnormality, and when the song reached its climax, her hands moved faster, and there was a faint dark light floating on the sleeves of her sleeves, as if those flowers had really bloomed in this night.

At the end of the song, the concubine breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, slowly raised her head, and fell right in the emperor's eyes.

"Bounce well." The Emperor called her up, "Come here, show me." ”

The concubine held back the excitement in her heart, Shi Shiran got up and walked towards the emperor, her every movement was very decent, and her steps were steady, but the joy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows could not be hidden.

The chaise lance moved slightly, and the skirt was almost motionless, but whenever a breeze blew and the candle flame jumped, the skirt and cuffs seemed to have a streamer flickering.

The beauty is graceful, her eyes are like water, her dress is shiny, and everything complements each other so well.

The emperor took the concubine's hand and said with a smile, "This dress is beautiful and flatters you." ”

"What the emperor said is true?" The concubine raised her head shyly and timidly, and a thin layer of crimson appeared on her cheeks.

"Nature."

Hearing this, the concubine's eyes immediately lit up, and she almost couldn't remember the last time the emperor praised her.

That Miss Jiang really has some ability, and she really didn't read it wrong.

As soon as the emperor's hand was a little stronger, the concubine was pulled into his arms, and the breath of ambergris came to his face, Rao is concubine who had been grateful many times, and at this time there was also a burst of unstoppable blush and heartbeat.

Just as she was nervously waiting for the emperor's next move, the emperor suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "I see that there is a faint floating light on your sleeves, but because of the gold thread added to the embroidery?" ”

The concubine could only get up and answer, "Back to the emperor, the concubine doesn't like the extravagance of gold thread, and the embroidery lady is exquisite, so she deliberately used peacock feather thread, although the effect is not as good as gold thread, but it is softer." ”

"It's an ingenious one. If the feather thread is used instead of the gold thread in the harem, it will save a lot of money. The emperor bowed, "Which embroidery girl is it, and it should be rewarded." ”

The concubine knew that the emperor didn't like the extravagance and waste of the harem, what Miss Jiang said before was true, and at her suggestion, she took the initiative to wear this peacock feather line dress, and she really made the right bet!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have a little more affection for Jiang Yingliang, but unfortunately, she couldn't use it alone.

"Your Majesty, the concubines have already been rewarded." The concubine had a smile on her face, "Moreover, that embroidery girl does not work in the palace, she belongs to the Yingshan embroidery workshop under the city." and is also the new beloved daughter of Anping Hou. However, since Your Majesty likes it, why not bring a plaque to the embroidery workshop and lift her up, so that the feather embroidered dress will definitely become popular immediately, and maybe it will leave a good story. ”

The emperor saw the concubine's careful thinking clearly, but after pondering for a while, he also nodded: "Okay, just according to what you say." ”

In the early morning three days later, Jiang Yingli had just packed up and was about to go to the main hall to greet Anping Hou and Mrs. Hou, when she saw Jing'er rushing in in a hurry, and she reported breathlessly: "Miss, someone is coming to the palace, saying that you want to see Miss, go out and have a look!" ”

"Got it." Jiang Yingli slowly closed the rouge lid at hand, then got up, smoothed the folds on the skirt, and said to Jing'er, "Let's go." ”

Jing'er immediately followed behind Jiang Yingliang, lowered her head and adjusted her breathing, looking at the steady back of her own young lady in front of her, she secretly thought in her heart: It is worthy of being a young lady, in the face of such a big news, she can still be so orderly.

Actually, Jiang Yingli had expected it a long time ago.

She has full confidence in her craftsmanship and ingenuity, and the day she made the skirt, she knew that the concubine would definitely like it!

When she arrived in front of the hall, the Hou Ye and his wife were already there, and the eunuch saw that everyone had arrived, so he began to pinch his sharp voice and speak: "The concubine likes Miss's craftsmanship, so she asked the miscellaneous family to come and give you gifts, No, this is a gift list, and please find someone to check them one by one." ”

Jiang Yingli glanced behind him, and the housekeeper immediately stepped forward and took the gift slip.

She looked at it, the gift list was very thick, and this concubine was still very generous.

A smile appeared on Jiang Yingliang's face, and his voice was gentle: "I'm tired of my father-in-law running this trip." It's hot outside, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea before leaving? ”

"The miscellaneous affairs are not finished yet, so you can't drink tea." Although he said words of refusal, the smile on his white and beardless face deepened a little.

In the puzzled eyes of Jiang Yingli and Mrs. Hou, the eunuch raised his hand and patted it, and immediately two small servants stepped forward with a square plaque.

There are four big characters on the plaque: Yingshan Embroidery Workshop.

Jiang Yinglian's eyes were sharp, and he noticed at once that the payment of this plaque turned out to be the current emperor!

"It's—"

The eunuch's face almost smiled, "The concubine said that your embroidery workshop lacks a façade, and she specially asked the emperor to write these four words himself." The concubine values it, Your Majesty gives it, this is the blessing of your embroidery workshop. ”

Jiang Yingli was already speechless in shock.

The concubine's reward was expected by her, but why did the emperor come to join in the fun?

Surprise is surprise, the work that should be done still has to be done.

Jiang Yingli wrapped a heavy red envelope for the eunuch and said many auspicious words before sending the person away.

Seeing the convoy go farther and farther, Jing'er excitedly pulled Jiang Yinglian's sleeve, and almost jumped up from the ground happily, "Miss, with the plaque given by the emperor's imperial pen, the future business of the embroidery workshop will definitely be very good!" You've been in business for so long and it's finally paying off! ”

However, Jiang Yingliang's mind was not as excited as Jing'er.

It's just a skirt, how can it be worth the emperor to give himself a plaque so excitedly?

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

She turned around and went back to the main hall, just in time to see Anping Hou and Mrs. Hou sitting on the Taishi chair, their faces solemn.

"Dad, mother, but what are you bothered about?"

The two glanced at each other, and it was Mrs. Hou who frowned and spoke first, "I always feel that today's reward is a little unsafe. ”

Jiang Yingli pretended to laugh lightly, "It's a good thing now, mother doesn't have to worry, I know it in my heart." ”

The soldiers are coming, she can deal with these things by herself, and she doesn't have to worry about Anping Hou and Mrs. Hou.
