Looking at Su Xiaoman's frightened appearance, the smile on the corner of Yao Yue's mouth was even worse, "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you now." ”

"If Lord Yao doesn't have anything else to do, I'll go back and rest first." Xiao Man pretended to be calm, but his constantly trembling body couldn't deceive anyone, especially a fox like Yao Yue who was good at perceiving people's hearts.

Yao Yue chuckled twice, didn't speak, and shook the folding fan and left.

Xiaoman didn't know how she got back to her residence, she broke out in a cold sweat, her hands and feet were cold, and she was blown by the night breeze in the summer, and sneezed violently.

"Knock knock—"

There was a knock on the door, Xiao Man subconsciously looked up, and happened to see the girls who had been taught today pushing the door in, Xu noticed Su Xiaoman's gaze, and they still had palpitations, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and went to find Wu Ping.

The room was so big, no matter how they lowered their voices, Su Xiaoman could hear their words clearly.

"Sister Wu Ping, do you have any extra bedding, can you lend us a bed?"

"What do you want to do with the extra bedding, I don't have anything here, only the bed I sleep in, and I can't lend it to you."

"I don't know who moved our quilt, Sister Wu Ping, ....... you" Speaking of this, the girl glanced in Su Xiaoman's direction with a weak heart, and after making sure that she didn't peek, she lowered her voice and said aggrievedly: "Didn't you secretly hide the few bedding that Su Xiaoman threw away before, how could it not be?" Sister Wu Ping, you are good, tomorrow is the final game, we don't want to sneeze to the game. ”

Wu Ping was resolute: "No is no, I never know anything about bedding, even if you lose your quilt, then go to Steward Zhao to ask for it." ”

Wu Ping gritted her teeth and refused to tell them, the three girls had no choice, and one of the younger ones had already cried lowly, crying and complaining that she shouldn't have listened to Wu Ping's words before, but even so, Wu Ping did not waver in the slightest.

In the end, the eldest of the three had no choice but to walk in front of Xiao Man, "Miss Su, we were not good before, and you don't see that the time is too early, you just told us where you hid the three quilts, right?" ”

Xiao Man raised his eyes and looked at her coldly, and snorted softly: "You don't take care of your own quilt, no matter what I have to do, it's summer, what does it matter if you don't cover the quilt at night?" It's not early, and it's time for me to go to bed. “

After speaking, she got up and took off the hairpin, and took off her coat and put it on the screen, completely ignoring the meaning of the three girls.

They were also very cramped standing on the side, if it was in the past, they would have been sneering a long time ago, and it was possible to step forward and do something, but Xiao Man had just warned them once this afternoon, and when they thought of the consequences of being kicked out of the garden, no one dared to step forward now.

Wu Ping didn't mean to help them at all, and Su Xiaoman didn't exist anymore, seeing that the night was getting darker, the three of them had no choice but to go back, cover the doors and windows, and didn't dare to take off their clothes, so they fell asleep like this.

The next day, in order to prevent Wu Ping from doing anything more, Xiaoman freshened up early in the morning and went to the venue of the competition to wait.

Because the emperor will also be present, this place is much wider and more majestic than before, and Xiaoman sits in his own position, and there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart.

If Jiang Qiming could arrive at the venue before Yao Yue and the others later, then she would have to step forward and tell him what she heard anyway.

"Xiaoman is here so early." Wu Ping greeted her with a smile, as if nothing had happened a few days ago.

Seeing her fake appearance, Su Xiaoman only felt extremely disgusted, she turned around and fiddled with the embroidery needles on the table alone, not paying attention to Wu Ping at all.

No matter how annoyed Wu Ping was, she had to endure it, she stomped her feet, and returned to her embroidery in a rage, and the movement made by the fall was very great.

However, Xiao Man was thinking about Jiang Qiming, where could he still take care of Wu Ping on the side, so Wu Ping's beating was done in vain.

It's a pity that when people arrived one after another, there were also two embroiderers who specialized in supplying embroidery to the palace, both of whom were in their thirties and forties, and the materials they wore were also excellent, but they were cold and indifferent, and they didn't take the initiative to talk to Xiaoman and others, which seemed to be a bad match.

But Xiao Man was now only looking forward to Jiang Qiming's coming soon, but he didn't notice the attitude of these two embroidery girls.

Wait, wait, everyone in the field who participated in the various activities and competitions arrived, and Su Xiaoman didn't see Jiang Qiming until he heard a shrill voice shouting: "The emperor has arrived-"

Everyone got up and knelt down one after another, Xiao Man raised her eyes and took a cautious look, but when she saw Jiang Qiming, Yao Yue and others following behind the emperor, she chuckled in her heart, knowing that it was impossible to tell Jiang Qiming today.

It's a pity that she has to watch Yao Yue frame Jiang Qiming, and she is unwilling.

"Dong-" The eunuch in charge of the affairs rang the gong and shouted in a sharp voice: "There is no limit to the topic of this competition, everyone can play freely, just pick what you are best at, and a stick of incense will be given for a limited time." ”

After speaking, the eunuch struck the gong again, and announced in a long tone: "The game begins!" ”

Rao is heart is no longer reconciled, once the game starts, Xiaoman will no longer have the power to return to the sky.

She twisted the embroidery thread, thinking about what she was going to embroider later, and looked up at Jiang Qiming on the stage from time to time, he and Han Dongcheng were next to each other, and the two would occasionally stick together and say a few words, and it seemed that the relationship between the two was very good.

The relationship is so good, why do you want to unite with Yao Yue to frame Jiang Qiming?

Xiao Man never understood, she sighed and spread out the pen and paper, not knowing what tricks to draw.

That's right!

She suddenly remembered that day at Jiang Qiming's residence, he asked him to help him make the embroidery of the double painting of the river, if he helped him embroider it at this time, then he might take the initiative to approach him, then wouldn't he have a chance to remind him?

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoman suddenly became interested, because the painting was relatively simple, she looked at it carefully, so she was very impressed, but she had already drawn the pattern in a moment's effort.

Green water, green mountains, brown boats, a pair of white-clothed people, the color is simple, but Xiaoman's embroidery is outstanding, both have thought of the theme, Xiaoman will also devote himself to it, she is lying on the embroidery, onion-like fingers flexibly shuttle up and down, looking extremely serious.

The emperor on the stage put down the teacup and nodded, and talked to Jiang Qiming on the side with a smile, "I didn't expect that this Lu Li's wife also entered this final competition, it seems that she is really powerful." ”

"If you go back to the emperor, this Su family is young and skilled, she is a rare talent, if it weren't for the fact that she had already opened her own shop, then Weichen would definitely recruit her to his subordinates, so that she could serve the mothers and masters in the palace." Jiang Qiming responded.

Hearing this, Han Dongcheng on the side disagreed: "Even if you already have your own shop, if the lady in the palace likes it, she can naturally let her work under Brother Qiming." ”

The emperor coughed lightly, but turned his face away and did not speak again.

Jiang Qiming frowned, shook his head lightly at Han Dongcheng, and motioned for him not to say any more.

Han Dongcheng paused, looked at the emperor's face, and then looked at Jiang Qiming, and then reluctantly shut up.

Yao Yue, who was watching the play on the side, snorted lightly, and the corners of his mouth raised a small arc, this Han Dongcheng monster had to be trusted by the emperor, and he didn't know how to look at people's faces and figure out the holy will, but now he didn't even know what to say and what not to say.

You must know that Su Xiaoman is the emperor's own wife, her husband is still a general of Zhenguo, and Lu Li is still leading troops to fight at the moment, if his soldiers hear that the wife of his general is going to make clothes for the harem concubines, this ......

I'm afraid it will provoke outrage.

However, Han Dongcheng, Yao Yue is more relieved, such a person is much easier to deal with than Jiang Qiming, waiting for the two of them to drag Jiang Qiming down together, and then he can easily solve Han Dongcheng, then he is the most qualified person in the entire Shangjing to take over Jiang Qiming and Han Dongcheng's business.

"It's almost time, Your Majesty, why don't we go down and have a look?" Jiang Qiming proposed.

"Good!"

The emperor is in front, Jiang Qiming is on the side, and Yao Yue and Han Dongcheng can only be the last.

The four of them were followed by a large number of eunuchs, so they walked around half of the venue slowly and leisurely, and finally stopped at Su Xiaoman's side.

Jiang Qiming, who was explaining, was suddenly stunned, because he accidentally swept Su Xiaoman's embroidery.

It's that picture.

"Qiming, what's wrong with you?" The emperor laughed and teased: "After talking for a long time, tired?" ”

The expression on Jiang Qiming's face was extremely complicated, he tried his best to control himself, and pretended to be calm: "Your Majesty, Weichen is indeed a little tired, and the rest is not Weichen's strength, so it's better to let Dongcheng explain the rest, right?" ”

The emperor nodded in agreement, Han Dongcheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to flatter.

Jiang Qiming deliberately slowed down, and when everyone left, he squatted down, "How did you embroider this picture, didn't you say you wanted to-"

"Master Jiang, I have something very important to tell you. Yao Yue and Han Dongcheng have joined forces to frame you, they want to do tricks on the embroidery of the embroiderer, and they want to make you lose the trust of the emperor, and they want to divide your business. “

Su Xiaoman held back for so many days, and when she saw Jiang Qiming stop as she wished, she spoke a little quickly with excitement, her eyes burned, and her whole person looked very excited.

It's just that Jiang Qiming listened to it, but he was still a little confused, "You are-"

Before he finished speaking, the corner suddenly remembered the sound of a gong.

"Boom-"

The eunuch shouted: "When the time comes, collect the embroidery." ”

Su Xiaoman was so anxious that she didn't care about any etiquette at this time, she got up and reminded again and again: "Master Jiang, they have to do their hands and feet on embroidery, you must be careful, don't go as they want!" ”
