With a smoky purple background, Shi Kui embroidered the lotus of the landscape, and the old princess couldn't put it down.

"It was a painting I painted in the past, my grandmother looked like it and accepted it, and then when I was preparing the dowry, I asked the people in the sewing room to embroider it according to the sketch, I saw that this tent was elegantly colored, although it was embroidered with landscapes, but it was not as obscure as the usual ink tents, and my grandmother was happy to think of it, so I quickly took it to please her." Yijing said.

The two grandmothers, one before and one after, of course, refer to the eldest princess and the old princess respectively.

Xiao Xie picked a bone in the egg next to him: "This tent is good-looking, but it's just similar to the screen in my mother's house, it's all landscapes, which is inevitably a little repetitive." ”

"I've been prepared." Yijing hurriedly asked Xia Ke to hold a brocade box, take out a picture scroll to unfold, but the painting is four flowers and birds, according to the four seasons of flowering, respectively, peach, qiong, chrysanthemum, plum, under the flower branch or lying on the bluestone, or planting orchid grass, or a branch of water, the color category of the bird is less than one, or flying with wings, or resting on the stone, or playing among the flowers, colorful, but not messy, pleasing to the eye.

"Grandmother, look at it, doesn't it look like she has described the scenery in the valley in detail, and it is different from the mountains and rivers, reflecting each other?" Yi Jing smiled.

The old princess smiled: "This is also what you painted?" ”

"In order to match the bed tent, I pondered asking Xia Ke to embroider a four-fold screen to add color to my grandmother's room."

Xiao Xie pursed his lips, secretly thinking that the old princess followed the Liang family to the mountains when she was young, and did not enjoy any blessings, not to mention silk and satin, it is fortunate that there is a dress that can cover the body, and then returned to the rich nest, only to be obsessed with these flowers, and it is still the case when she is old, and Jing Yatou can only coax her to be obedient, who will really be a noble lady who will see a few stitches of embroidery in her eyes, but to put it bluntly, it is just a plaything, the old princess attaches the most importance to the Zhenguo Mansion, the mother's house, at a critical time, as long as you take advantage of this, No matter how clever the princess is, it will not be useful.

didn't care, and watched the beautiful scenery coldly to please him.

But then I listened to a sentence: "Grandmother, this screen can be wasted some effort, just relying on Xia Ke alone is afraid to embroider for a year and a half, although the embroidery art of the maids around me is passable, there is still a gap compared with Xia Ke, the stitching is fine and inconsistent, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be flaws, I don't know that there are outstanding people around my grandmother, borrow me for a while, and save some effort." ”

It turned out to be a figure for this!

Xiao Xie's heart sank, who didn't know that Shan's daughter Luhua was outstanding, and the princess wanted to go to her side, what she was going to do!

But before she could interrupt, the old princess had already mentioned Lu Hua's name, and asked people to invite her immediately to Guan Sui Yuan with Yijing.

Xiao Xie returned to Lixiangyuan with a lonely stomach, and looked at Shan's gaze a little gloomy, staring at it half-loudly without speaking, which made Shan's creepy and didn't know what it was, and didn't dare to ask, the person stood in the shade, but his head was covered with sweat.

After half a sound, Xiao Xie finally spoke: "Lu Hua was asked to go to Guan Sui Yuan." ”

Single: !!

"But it's just temporary, it should be the sun to be busy embroidering screens, and I have to go back to Rongxi Hall at night, in my opinion, our princess really values you." Xiao Xie's tone was neither hot nor cold, and his eyes were even more cloudy.

Shan hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Madam, the slave and maid dare not have two hearts, no matter what the princess is, the slave and the maid only have Mrs. in their hearts, and Luhua She is also a clever person, and many things are hidden from the slave and maid, and the princess just wants to talk nonsense, but it is useless." ”

Xiao Xie pondered for a moment before raising his hand: "You get up, I can still trust you, and I ask what the princesses want to do." ”

Of course, Yijing wants to give Reva a benefit.

When Lu Hua arrived at Guan Sui Yuan, she was led to a wing room in the atrium, where Yi Jing personally drew the pattern with the embroidery thread, and instructed her and Xia Ke to concentrate on threading the needle and silver thread here, and not caring about any miscellaneous things.

For a whole day, the pastry and tea have not been broken, but in the afternoon, the little girl made a mistake and accidentally wet Luhua's skirt, Xia Ke hurriedly apologized, said a few words to the little girl, and personally went to get the clothes to replace Luhua, who knew that he was met by the beautiful scenery again, and he was actually given a long skirt of ice silkworm smoke red leno that he had just made, and as soon as Luhua put it on, he suddenly felt that the whole person was radiant, and in the evening he went all the way back to Rongxi Hall, and felt that his brilliance attracted the envy of many servants.

She and Yaohua are in the same room, the two are very different in temperament, usually a little bit of a deal, Yaohua is a child waiting in Rongxi Hall, and her aunt is the grandmother next to the old princess, and her status is a head higher than Luhua, usually once she is in a bad mood, she loves to instruct Luhua to serve tea and water, Luhua is deeply educated by Shan's "smiling face", and does not care about Yaohua on the surface, but in her heart she is still a little unconvinced.

Today, Lu Hua's "brand new" return naturally attracted a lot of discussions, Yan'er followed Lu Hua into the house, holding her skirt full of envy: "But the princess rewarded it?" This is a blessing for my sister. ”

Yan'er has a clever mouth, although she is a maid bought outside, but because of her lively temperament, she is very popular with the old princess, although the monthly money is an example of a second-class maid, the old princess likes her to be funny around the most, plus she is a few years younger, and her temperament is peaceful, and she respects several big girls very much, so even Yaohua can't find fault with her, and others are even better with her.

Being praised by her like this, Lu Hua was even more happy, and when she heard Yan'er ask about all kinds of things in Guan Sui Garden, she couldn't help but boast about what she had witnessed.

attracted a group of maids, listening to those exquisite pastries and famous teas, and their eyes lit up.

"It's noisy, and it doesn't make people quiet!" On the side, Yaohua finally couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped the kang and got up: "Didn't you just go to Guan Sui Garden to embroider a picture screen for a day, it was like entering the palace, and there was nothing to see." ”

Lu Hua's face changed, he glanced at Yaohua, pouted and didn't make a sound.

Yan'er stuck out her tongue and apologized with a smile: "I usually didn't have a chance to go to Guan Suiyuan, everyone can't help but be curious, I don't want to disturb Sister Yaohua's tranquility, it's my fault, and my sister forgives." ”

Seeing that Yaohua ignored it, still with frost on her face, Yan'er led her "partners" out with interest.

I didn't want to think about it the next day, when Lu Hua came back from Guan Sui Yuan, she saw that the skirt she got yesterday was skewed by scissors, even if she had a good temperament, she couldn't help but get angry, and asked Mama Zhu to ask for justice: "The princess was rewarded, and today it has become like this, if the princess knows, won't you blame me for not knowing how to cherish it?" ”

The maids occasionally have intrigue and stumbling, and I wish Mama to reprimand a few words, Rongxi Hall has always been peaceful, and when I see such a thing, of course I have to call the maids to ask.

None of the maids wanted to be responsible, and they all said that they didn't know what was going on.

I used to be good with Lu Hua, and I couldn't help but say more: "Yesterday, because we talked around Lu Hua, I was reprimanded by Sister Yaohua, and I didn't dare to go to their house today." ”

Yaohua couldn't hold it back on the side, and snorted coldly: "Then you wronged me for hanging this skirt, and you didn't enter the house, so I was the only one." ”

Everyone didn't speak, but they were obviously suspicious of Yaohua.

made Yaohua full of resentment, chasing Luhua and asking, "You say, do you doubt me?" Isn't it just a skirt, although I haven't been rewarded by the princess, but I haven't received the gift of the old princess, and I have a red heart? ”

Lu Hua was also angry in her heart, but she was impatient to argue with Yaohua about this matter: "I naturally don't doubt my sister, but who is the worst, I hope that Mama Zhu can make a decision." ”

There is not even a single eyewitness to this, how can it be determined? Zhu Mama had no choice but to comfort Lu Hua a few words, and warned the maids in the yard to reveal the matter.

But the relationship between Yaohua and Luhua is undoubtedly deeper.

The two of them are big girls in the end, and they have always had some scheming in their hearts, and they didn't make a big fuss because of this trivial matter, and they all secretly competed - let's see.

Shan listened to Lu Hua's grievances, and looked at the miserable situation of such a good skirt, and felt sorry in his heart: "The dead hooves can really be handled, such a skirt can be worth dozens of taels of silver." ”

And in the next few days, Yijing rewarded Lu Hua one after another, with jasper bracelets, carved gold heads, and a small gold ingot!

Dongyu paid attention silently and reported these things to Xiao Xie on the occasion of "being ordered to do activities".

As a result, there are more and more times when Xiao Xie is "speechless".

In the Lixiang Courtyard, the sun was shining brightly, and Shan always felt a chill on his spine.

But when she saw the rewards that her daughter put out, she always felt comforted in her heart, and only explained in front of Xiao Xie's family: "The princess is rewarded, and she is always hard to resign, but the slave swears that if she has two hearts, she will definitely die of thunder and thunder!" ”

Xiao Xie always smiled gloomily: "I can't trust you yet." ”

She has a deep understanding of Shan's greed, but she also knows that Shan's city and family's deeds are in her hands, and she is not afraid of her betrayal.

Shan turned his back on the master, and he was also thinking about the princess enveloping her - these are just small favors, if you want to "buy" yourself, there must be heavy profits, but the princess didn't mention anything to Luhua, and she was even more difficult to hurry up and offer courtesy, her heart was itching, and she couldn't know the princess's calculations.

I don't know how the princess wants to "buy" her, whether she can take advantage of a loophole, not really "sell", but also make a lot of money.

One day, Yi Jing was in Rongxi Hall, talking with Xiao Xie to accompany the old princess left and right, and Zhu Mama went into the house to report, saying that Grandma Guo asked to see.

Seeing that the beautiful scenery was unknown, the old princess said: "It's the old lady of Guo Lin, our palace worker." ”

Xiao Xie's face is impatient - the old princess does not know how to entertain etiquette, for fear of going out and embarrassing, most of the invitations to the banquet are declined, and because they are really depressed, they often invite the family members of low-grade officials to come into the house to speak, such as this Guo Lin, is just an eight-grade worker, responsible for repairs, these small officials are from a small background, most of them are from poor families, relying on the mixed positions of the palace, in order to win an opportunity for promotion and reuse, a lot of flattery to the old princess, of course, I don't care about the old princess does not understand the way of entertainment, Xiao Xie deeply feels that this kind of "miscellaneous" small officials have no need to be connected, Of course, I was impatient to sacrifice the time to make up for sleep to listen to their parents, and when I met Grandma Guo, I excused myself and left.

Yi Jing wanted to accompany her, she got Yu Feng's instructions and knew Grandma Guo's intention.

Guo Lin is nearly 30 years old, has been married for eight years, and his daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter three years ago, but died early due to illness a few years ago, and has not yet renewed.

His status is not high, he is not a confidant of the King of Chu, it is not enough to arouse the vigilance of Xiao Xie's family, and he has no wife, there are old and young, the conditions are not too good, and marrying a maid is not a thriller, as Yu Feng said, it is just right.

"The old princess also knows that the old woman's son has no ability, thanks to the support of the prince, he can support the family, and his life is a bitter one, the daughter-in-law is gone, and the granddaughter is still unstable. Grandma Guo sighed: "Two days ago, I went to Fazang Temple to calculate a hexagram, and said that my granddaughter had a bad fate and had to be taken care of by a rich and noble person in order to raise her, but Guo Lin's identity was already meagre, and he was looking for a continuation, how could he expect to be rich?" The old princess doesn't blame the old woman for being abrupt, and asks the old princess to be kind and reward a maid by her side, thinking that it is also contaminated with your wealth and blessings, enough to take care of the poor granddaughter of the old woman. ”

As soon as she heard that it was just such a trivial matter, the old princess immediately agreed.

At that time, Yan'er happened to be waiting on the side, so this matter spread in Rongxi Hall in an instant, it was not a secret, and it was a "happy event", so naturally no one cared about Yan'er's mouth.

Although Guo Lin is only an eight-rank official and a subordinate official of the royal palace, he is not as good as the court official, but for a group of slaves and maids, this marriage is undoubtedly unavoidable.

But most of them are just talking about it for a while - there are two tough maids in the background, Lu Hua Yaohua, and they don't dare to look forward to it.

Zhu Mama's sister-in-law is the most excited.

"It's a matter of sister-in-law's words, Yaohua depends on you."

Zhu Mama's man is only this sister, and the two brothers and sisters are a few years apart, and they have always been conniving, and Zhu Mama is not the old princess to accompany her, and her relatives and children are not around at the moment, and she is a relative who pays attention to her husband's family.

But I don't want Yaohua to be very arrogant -
