Hongmei lowered her eyes, thought for a few seconds, and said, "Little Lord, are you suspicious of something?" ”

Xia Ye'er said: "I'm not suspicious, I'm just thinking, since you can get that letter, then you must be able to get in touch with Pan Yu, isn't it?" ”

Hongmei sat on the edge of the bed and waited for a long time before saying, "The slave maid has an old friend, who works outside the city gate, and has a good relationship with the palace guards, and can pass on some books and letters." However, it is limited to letters. What other connections does the little master want? ”

Xia Ye'er was a little convinced, and said slowly: "Hongmei, can you send me another reply?" ”

Hongmei said: "Yes, but I'm afraid it will take some time to deliver it to the other party." ”

Xia Ye'er simply took off the jade bracelet from her left hand, handed it to Hongmei, and said, "This is the queen's reward when she entered the palace, and it will be given to you, you can do whatever you want, just guarantee that the letter will be delivered." ”

Hongmei hesitated for a moment before taking the jade bracelet and said, "For the sake of the little master, how dare the slave and maid accept such valuable things, but in order to make the little master feel at ease, the slave and maid will keep it for the time being, and then return it to the little master in the future." ”

Xia Ye'er saw that Hongmei agreed to send the letter, and she didn't care about putting on her clothes, so she sat on the edge of the bed, lit a candle, and wrote a text message.

Pan Yu:

On that day, you used your shallow affection to form Xia you and Xia Er, and Xia Er didn't want to believe it. But I want to go out of the palace gate and see you.

Xia'er

After writing it, Xia Ye'er handed the letterhead to Hongmei and repeatedly instructed that it should be delivered properly. Hongmei agreed, and Xia Ye'er fell asleep peacefully.

Nearly half a month after the letter was sent, Hongmei still didn't get a reply, only that it must have been delivered. When Xia Ye'er heard this, she felt even more uneasy, and she didn't think about tea and dinner every day, looking forward to replying to the letter.

On this day, Fang Lanlan suddenly came to Pinmeitang, saw Xia Ye'er, and exclaimed, "Ye'er, why have you lost so much weight?" ”

Xia Ye'er didn't speak, and when Hongmei saw this, she said, "The little master is not used to the food in the palace, so he eats less." Pure promise, the complexion is getting better and better, presumably life is very comfortable. ”

Fang Lanlan smiled at Hongmei and said, "Sister Yu is doing embroidery during this period of time, and it was King Chu who personally asked her to embroider a futon, because Sister Yu's embroidery skills are really good!" I also studied for a while, it's really fun, Ye'er, don't nest in the house all day, come with me to help Sister Yu embroider, right? ”

Xia Ye'er asked, "I don't know anything, how can I help?" ”

Fang Lanlan pulled Xia Ye'er and said, "No, you have to learn, you think, if we help Sister Yu embroider the futon, and wait for Sister Yu to say a few good words about us to the King of Chu, we will be just around the corner when we see the King of Chu in the future!" ”

How could Xia Ye'er have the heart to think about this, but Hongmei picked Xia Ye'er up and said with a smile: "Of course, of course, my little master will go with you, how about just agreeing to see it?" ”

Fang Lanlan danced happily, grabbed Xia Ye'er, and walked towards the Jade Princess's residence together. In the middle of summer, there is not a single cloud in the blue sky, and the sun shines on the earth as if it emits steam, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Sister Yu is okay?" Xia Ye'er asked Fang Lanlan.

Fang Lanlan said absentmindedly: "It's okay." ”

The two of them were speechless all the way and walked to a building called Qihua Palace. Fang Lanlan led Xia Ye'er in, and as soon as she walked in, Xia Ye'er was choked by the incense inside and coughed.

"Lan Lan? Oops, Sister Xia is also here, what a rare guest! When the Jade Princess saw them, she smiled with a smile on her face.

"Sister Yu, you see I found you another helper!" Fang Lanlan pulled Xia Ye'er and said with a smile.

Princess Jade looked at Xia Ye'er, looked at it for a while, and said, "Sister Xia looks better, is she used to life in the palace?" ”

Xia Ye'er nodded and said, "It's much better now." ”

The Jade Princess nodded with satisfaction, and then said to them, "Since you volunteered to help me embroider for the King of Chu, then I have to teach you well." After speaking, he really picked up a piece of fabric and carefully explained to Fang Lanlan and Xia Ye'er how to embroider.

Fang Lanlan is clever and learns quickly, and after a while, she will be able to embroider a small flower than a gourd. Xia Ye'er has a slow hand, but she can be regarded as mastering the essentials. Princess Jade looked at the samples they embroidered and said, "Lan Lan's embroidery is slightly better." Xia Ye'er lowered her head silently, while Fang Lanlan looked at the Jade Princess proudly.

After the two learned, the Jade Princess gave them different tasks according to their speed, Fang Lanlan was responsible for embroidering a few magpies, and Xia Ye'er was responsible for embroidering flowers on the branches.

"Take all the brocade back to your bedroom and embroider it, I'm tired, rest for a while, and you'll come out for me tomorrow morning, can you?" Although the Jade Princess used the words of consultation, there was no trace of Xia in her tone.

"Guaranteed completion! Stay up late and don't sleep! Fang Lanlan patted her chest and said.

Xia Ye'er whispered that it could be done.

The two of them took the brocade and went back to the dormitory. When Xia Ye'er was about to start embroidering, she suddenly became worried, Princess Jade only said that she would embroider flowers, but she didn't say what kind of flowers to embroider, she just taught several kinds of flowers, although they have all been learned, but what kind of embroidery is not known. It's getting late, and the Jade Princess has already rested, so it's not good to ask again. Xia Ye'er felt embarrassed and had to ask Hongmei for help.

Hongmei thought for a while and said, "What is this brocade for?" ”

Xia Ye'er said she didn't know. Hongmei sighed and said, "In this case, I can only send someone to ask Jun again, she may have asked before." Xia Ye'er also felt that there was only one way, so she sent someone to ask.

After a while, the eunuch came back and said that he only knew that the king of Chu had asked for it and was going to give it to the prince. Xia Ye'er thought to herself, since it is a gift to others, it must be a festive meaning, plus magpies, the most traditional is plum blossoms. So, only by embroidering plum blossoms on the scalp, it was also done late after staying up, and I was so tired that my eyes were full of tears, and I fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Xia Ye'er personally came to the Jade Princess with the embroidered brocade, who would have thought that she would pounce, only one palace maid said that the Jade Princess had already gone to the King of Chu, and asked Xia Ye'er and them to take the brocade to see the King of Chu by themselves. Xia Ye'er had to take the brocade again to the Anning Palace, where the King of Chu was located, and she was uneasy.

When I entered the main hall, I saw the King of Chu and the Jade Princess sitting side by side, very happy. Xia Ye'er waited for a while, waiting for Fang Lanlan to come forward to greet her, and let the eunuch offer the brocade together.

"Hmm...... Who embroidered this flower? King Chu looked at it and asked without a tone.

Xia Ye'er took a deep breath and stepped forward and said, "The concubine embroidered it." ”

The king of Chu didn't speak, and Xia Ye'er's heart was beating a drum, not knowing what to do. At this time, the king of Chu said slowly: "Who asked you to embroider plum blossoms?" ”
