According to the instructions of Princess Xu Jinrou of Jin, Fang Ruo sent the emerald blue cloud brocade with the pattern of mandarin duck lotus to the garment bureau in the palace, and then left the size of the garment, and named Mama Chen to make the garment herself.

Mama Chen is the most famous craftsman in the Garment Bureau, and also the pillar of the Garment Bureau, she can measure, cut, sew, iron, sample and other processes, completed alone, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, known as "Chen Yishou" by the palace people.

Although Princess Jin is famous, everyone in the palace knows it, but she is not a concubine in the palace, and to make ready-to-wear clothes, she also needs the consent of the chief official of the Garment Bureau and the Garment Supervisor.

Before being defeated by the Western Barbarians, Da Chu had a weaving bureau.

The clothes of the emperor, empress, and concubines, as well as the court clothes of the hundred officials in the court, were all made by the Weaving Bureau.

The Great Chu was defeated, and the weaving bureau existed in name only, leaving only the garment bureau in the palace, which could make ready-to-wear for the queen and the concubines, eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.

In order to streamline personnel and save expenses, the chief officials of all departments in the palace were served by concubines trusted by the queen.

The chief garment supervisor of the Garment Bureau is Chen Guiren.

Xu Jinrou met Chen Guiren at the door of Ming Fengxuan, which was the dormitory where Chen Guiren lived.

Hearing that Princess Jin asked to see her, Chen Guiren hurriedly came out to greet her.

"Sister Jinrou, what kind of fragrant wind blew you here, why do you have time to come to see your sister?"

Xu Jinrou smiled with a smile on her face, "Sister, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and today I came to ask my sister for help." ”

Chen Guiren did not hesitate, "No matter what my sister asks, my sister will answer first." ”

Xu Jinrou's smile was even brighter, "My sister is still so refreshing, my sister thanked me first." ”

After saying that, Xu Jinrou was about to bow down, Chen Guiren hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help,

"My sister is pregnant, so don't be polite."

Holding Xu Jinrou's hand, the two of them entered the house, and after sitting down, Chen Guiren instructed the maid to bring refreshments.

"Although my sister is pregnant now, she is not pregnant, and she still looks so slender and smart, and her spirit is full of energy, which makes people like it."

"Hey, I'm more than four months pregnant, but I don't know why? There is only a slight bulge in the lower abdomen. If it weren't for Qin Xuanzhi from the Ximan Medical Hall who was very sure that it was okay, I would have thought that this child would not be able to be saved. ”

"Sister, don't worry, although my sister and I haven't given birth to a child, but I have heard a lot, you are the body of the queen, don't worry."

"Well..., my sister came just in time, I heard that you went back to the palace, my sister just made a big raw cake, and I was going to send someone to send you to Ziyunxuan, but you came, my sister really has the same heart."

"My sister is right, she really understands her mind. Well, big raw cakes? It's an interesting name. ”

"This big raw cake is made of raw plums, the plums are peeled and peeled and pitted, blanched in white plum and licorice soup, and then crushed with honey and pine nut meat, olive kernels, walnut flesh, melon kernels, filled with fragrant rice, and steamed in small retorts, because they are all made of raw melons and fruits, so it is called big raw cakes."

"Sister, I think this name is a good luck, my sister can be pregnant in peace for ten months, and then give birth, good birth."

"Oh, I see, then my sister borrowed this auspicious word from my sister and gave birth to a healthy baby peacefully."

"That's certain, it's best to let this kid recognize his sister as a godmother, and I can be regarded as a queen."

Xu Jinrou nodded seriously, "There is nothing wrong with this matter, since it is my sister's wish, let's make a decision today." ”

Chen Guiren was pleasantly surprised, "My sister can agree, I really can't ask for that sister, oops..., now I, as a godmother, have to think about what gift to give my child who is about to be born." ”

"You don't need to give gifts, having my sister's heart is the best gift."

"How's that going to work? You don't have to worry about this sister, sister, I have my own opinions. ”

"By the way, what does Sister Jinrou want me to help with my sister?"

"Sister, I want to let Mama Chen of the Garment Bureau make a piece of clothing with one hand, and I have already ordered Fangruo to send it to the Garment Bureau, and the size has been left, and now I am waiting for my sister's words."

"Oh, what do I think is a big deal? It's really nothing, it's just wrapped up in my sister. ”

"Well..., but today the queen also took four cloud brocades and instructed Mama Chen to make clothes, and my sister's brocade clothes need to wait a little."

"That's nothing, how dare my sister fight with the queen, as long as my sister agrees, Mama Chen can make clothes for my sister."

"Well..., I still have to thank my sister."

Chen Guiren's expression was straight, "Sister Jinrou, don't say thank you to my sister, if it wasn't for your mother-in-law, Mrs. Xu, who saved my life, would I still have my life now?" I will never forget this kindness sister. ”

……

Chen Guiren is not good at cutting and sewing clothes, but she is good at making spices, and all the ready-to-wear clothes need incense, which comes from the spice recipe that Chen Guiren has figured out by himself.

Just because of the spices, Chen Guiren almost lost his life.

There was a big battle between Great Chu and the Western Barbarians, the first emperor and the crown prince died at the same time, although Song Xing, the king of Zhao, insisted on not being the prince and not the emperor, so as not to become a bird and be killed by the Western barbarians.

But in the end, he had to be ordered to enter the East Palace at the request of the Manchu Dynasty and the empress, and temporarily took charge of the crisis in Dachu.

The Western Barbarian army is now gradually approaching, and King Zhao is worried every day, and his mind is uncertain all day and night, and he can't sleep.

King Zhao had to go to Tianshou Palace every day to discuss countermeasures with his mother and the queen, but after many studies and pondering, there was no result, and it seemed that he had to wait for death.

So King Zhao became more and more depressed, and sighed all day long.

King Zhao's eye sockets were deep-set, flushing red, this day he came to Tianshou Palace again, the queen saw her son's appearance and sighed softly,

"Xing'er, don't think about starting a war with the Xiban now, only by surrendering can you live."

King Zhao's expression was gloomy, "I heard that the Western Barbarian Marshal Liu Ren slaughtered people without blinking an eye, and wherever he passed, there was not an inch of grass left, and the father and the crown prince had already raised their flags and surrendered, but they were still ordered by him to cut off their heads, and the child was worried that even if he surrendered, there was no way to live." ”

The queen frowned and pondered, "Although the Western Barbarian army has won a great victory now, the fighting in the past few days has also greatly damaged its vitality. I just need to let Liu Rentu know that if he does not accept the surrender of my Great Chu, he will be caught in the death battle between this Kyoto City and my Great Chu army and people. ”

King Zhao's eyes lit up, "Does the queen mother already have a plan in her heart?" ”

The queen groaned slightly, "Well..., let Liu Rentu and the Xiban army see that my Dachu still has people who can fight to the death, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the Xiban should be able to surrender, Dachu can't be saved, but the lives of you and my mother and son should be fine, and the Xiban should still be able to seal you an idle official position to appease the people of Dachu." ”

"Men of the Dead? In such a situation, how can there be people in the DPRK and China who fight to the death? King Zhao shook his head dejectedly.

The queen's eyes were deep, "There is indeed no such loyal figure in the court, but the mourning family remembers one person." ”

King Zhao was puzzled, "Who is it?" ”

"The wife of Xu Shilang of the Ministry of War, the mother of your second sister-in-law, what Mrs. Xu said about the mourning family was actually said by Mrs. Xu."

"Oh, is the queen sure?"

"The mourning family was familiar with this Mrs. Xu when they never married into the palace, and the mourning family will not be mistaken."

King Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "If you are a little relieved, your life can be saved better than anything else." ”

"Yes, so Xing'er, you don't have to be upset, you can't sleep at night, um... The mourning family sent someone to Mingfengxuan Chen Guiren to ask for some incense to help you fall asleep, so that you can also sleep well. ”

"Oh, Chen Guiren? Chen Guiren, who has just entered the palace? I heard that she hasn't had time to be favored by her father yet! ”

The queen nodded, "Yes, your father set her taste, but before he could summon her, he set out on the expedition." ”

"Queen Mother, let Erchen go and get the incense himself, maybe see if there are any other spices you want."

The queen glanced at King Zhao meaningfully, "Although this palace may not be surnamed Song in the future, you can't come nonsense." ”

"Yes, Erchen understands."

Hearing that King Zhao Song Xing was coming to Mingfeng Xuan, Chen Guiren couldn't help but be surprised.

King Zhao has to call her aunt according to her seniority, this Ming Fengxuan is her bedroom, the first emperor is no longer alive, what does King Zhao do when he comes to Ming Fengxuan?

However, now that King Zhao has entered the East Palace, he seems to be the new master of Dachu, and Chen Guiren did not dare to offend, so he hurriedly went out to greet him.

As soon as King Zhao walked into Mingfeng Xuan, Chen Guiren greeted her, she looked beautiful, and spoke in the voice of Yan Ying,

"King Zhao is a distinguished guest, is there something wrong with Ming Fengxuan who came to the palace?"

King Zhao held his head high and did not salute this little aunt, "I heard the queen mother say that Chen Guiren is good at making incense, and this king needs some incense to help him fall asleep." ”

"Oh, it turns out that the prince is here to fetch incense, and this palace is going to fetch it."

King Zhao took a step forward, "Chen Guiren, this king has the grace of his mother to come to Mingfeng Xuan to get incense, and I want to talk to you privately about some things." ”

Chen Guiren was slightly stunned, "Oh, since it is the queen's will, please come to the prince's house." ”

After entering the house and sitting down, Chen Guiren retreated left and right, "Lord Wang, there is no one else in the house now, please talk about something else." ”

King Zhao's eyes looked at Chen Guiren unscrupulously,

"My father has died."

Chen Guiren's expression was gloomy, "When I heard the news, the heart of this palace couldn't help myself. ”

"I heard that my father didn't favor Chen Guiren, right?"

Chen Guiren's face was slightly red, "This palace has indeed not been able to withstand the rain and dew of the first emperor. ”

King Zhao was overjoyed, "It's really good to be like this." ”

Chen Guiren frowned, "Why did the prince say this?" ”

"The first emperor will definitely not be able to come back, Chen Guiren is a complete body, but he still has to stay alone for the first emperor for a lifetime?"

Chen Guiren raised his eyebrows slightly, "Of course, otherwise, how can you be worthy of the deceased emperor." ”

"Well, why bother? Chen Guiren looks like a flower and a moon, and has a good life, if he is like this, but the rest of his life is like a pearl, which is really a pity. ”

Chen Guiren's eyes were slightly cold, "What does the prince mean by this?" ”

"This king thinks that the nobleman might as well follow me in the future."
