As Empress Ji's birthday approached, fewer and fewer female students from the Women's College of Qingsi Academy came to school.

In the end, only Shen Qi and Wang Banxi remained.

Shen Qi thought it was interesting, so he sat at the front.

The things studied in the women's academy, except for the subset of classics and history, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, that is, female red and the like, there is nothing else.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, is your purse embroidered with mandarin ducks?"

The goddaughter of the red gentleman stood beside Shen Qi, pinching the tassels on Shen Qi's embroidered purse with his fingers, going up and down, back and forth, and carefully observing it several times.

"Ah......" Shen Qi blinked, "No." ”

The gentleman pumped at Shen Qi: "What's that?" ”

"Dogs."

"Poof-" Wang Banxi suddenly laughed.

"Girl Banxi." The gentleman glanced at Wang Banxi.

Wang Banxi buried himself in embroidering his own things.

"Your Highness, forgive me for being so incompetent that I can't teach you." The gentleman shook his head and said helplessly.

"Oh, don't, don't." Shen Qi shook his hand vigorously, "Sir, you can teach me, this is the queen mother's birthday, I want to embroider an embroidery for her as a gift." ”

If it weren't for the natural upbringing there, Mr. Female Red would have been stunned at this time.

"Your Highness, are you serious?" Mr. Female Red restrained his surprised tone and said.

"Mmmmmm," Shen Qi nodded, "Seriously, it's more real than gold." ”

Wang Banxi didn't say a word on the side, he just laughed vigorously, and his shoulders couldn't help shaking.

"Your Highness, don't fool me, I'm cowardly, I can't help but be scared." Mr. Nu Hong confirmed again and again.

"I didn't blame you. I really want to embroider an embroidery for my mother as a gift. ”

"With all due respect, you can't handle this embroidery, if you let everyone know that I taught you......"

"Sir, rest assured, sir, you teach me privately, I study hard, whether it's good or bad, it's all a heart, isn't it? It is this heart that the queen mother values. ”

Shen Qi said with a smile.

Mr. Female Red of Qingsi Academy, named Ding Yuhong, was the best embroiderer in Xi Guo back then, and even Queen Ji was amazed by the embroidery worker with one hand.

No matter how many people wanted to ask her to embroider things, she refused.

Occasionally, she had the heart to embroider an embroidery, but it was hard to buy.

It's just that this gentleman is indifferent to fame and fortune, and finally was invited by Mrs. Wang to come to Qingsi Academy to teach her daughter, and he is also happy.

Ding Yuhong repeatedly observed Shen Qi's eyes, and Shen Qi's expression was sincere, not like a fake.

"Okay, Your Highness, your foundation is not good, you still have to practice more on weekdays."

Ding Yuhong returned the embroidery in his hand to Shen Qi.

"If you go back today, embroider this dog back into a mandarin duck first, and I'll come to see it tomorrow."

After speaking, Ding Yuhong turned around and left the classroom.

"Poofhahahaha." Wang Banxi couldn't help but laugh.

Since Wang Banxi has been with Shen Qi for a long time, his personality has changed almost one hundred and eighty degrees.

The canary, which used to be trapped in the rules, seems to have wings now, and can occasionally fly out for a while.

"I'm serious." Shen Qi said.

"Yes, yes, you're serious." Wang Banxi couldn't stop smiling.

On the way back to the princess's mansion, Shen Qi was still studying her mandarin ducks.

"Why do you suddenly want to learn from female red?" Tang Zongjiu asked with a smile.

You can't blame Tang Zongjiu, it's really too rare to see Shen Qi's helpless appearance.

"I want to embroider an embroidery for the queen mother as a gift." Shen Qi said.

"Really?" Tang Zongjiu asked.

"Really, really, truly, more than gold." Shen Qi said.

"Why am I so unconvinced?" Tang Zong said with a smile.

"Believe it or not, won't you know when the day comes?" Shen Qi raised his eyes and looked at Tang Zongjiu, with a hint of cunning in his shining eyes.

Tang Zongjiu's gaze moved to Shen Qi's lips.

The pair of lips he had tasted were still so rosy today.

Tang Zongjiu's eyes darkened.

"What are you embroidering?" Tang Zongjiu retracted his gaze and looked at the embroidery in Shen Qi's hand.

"Dogs." Shen Qi sat back in his place.

Tang Zongjiu couldn't stand this crooked "dog" and laughed.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, you all laugh. Wait until I embroider a pair of peerless treasures, and I guarantee that none of you will be able to laugh. Shen Qi muttered.

"I'll change it for you." Tang Zongjiu stretched out his hand towards Shen Qi.

"Will you?" Shen Qi glanced at Tang Zongjiu, and seeing that Tang Zongjiu didn't seem to be joking, he put the half-finished product he embroidered on Tang Zongjiu's broad palm.

Tang Zongjiu took the embroidery, observed it a little, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger.

I saw Tang Zongjiu skillfully threading the needle, and the silver needle went up and down in his hand, inside and out, and soon, a pair of mandarin ducks were embroidered.

“……”

Shen Qi picked up Tang Zong's wine and gave her the mandarin duck that she had changed, and she was speechless for a while.

"No, why do you embroider?!" Shen Qi's face was full of incredulity.

"Ah...... Why? Tang Zongjiu looked at Shen Qi with a smile.

Shen Qi was blushing from Tang Zongjiu's laughter.

"How can you do anything......" Shen Qi said with a slight unwillingness.

"How can anything be, you are too exalted to me." Tang Zongjiu said.

"It's just that I can do anything, my husband is omnipotent in heaven and on earth!"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Qi and Tang Zongjiu were stunned.

Shen Qi suddenly realized what he had said, and felt a pang of chagrin in his heart.

Shen Qi, Shen Qi, why are you so open-mouthed?

Can you say the word husband casually?

In the glow, Tang Zongjiu's smile stayed at the corner of his mouth and did not deepen, and his eyes looked at Shen Qi more and more deeply.

There was a moment of silence in the carriage.

"Hmm."

After a long time, Tang Zongjiu answered.

I don't know if he is responding to the words "husband" or "omnipotent in heaven and on earth".

Shen Qi didn't ask, so he continued to study this embroidery.

Only one day later, I don't know where it came out, the news that Princess Shu Ning was going to embroider a pair of embroideries for Queen Ji as a birthday gift spread all over the imperial city.

Most people are extremely curious about this, because Princess Shu Ning's embroidery is as famous as hers.

It's just notoriously poor.

Everyone is curious about what finished product Princess Shu Ning will embroider this time for Queen Ji's birthday.

After all, if you take out a pair of unsightly embroidery, it will be the face of the royal family.

And there are too many people in the entire Xi Kingdom embroidery, Princess Shu Ning only has less than two months, how can there be rapid results?

Most people are not optimistic about Princess Shu Ning.

The news reached the palace, and Empress Ji specially issued a decree and sent someone to find Mr. Ding Yuhong.

It's okay now, it was originally taught in secret, but it has become taught in the open.

Everyone even felt sorry for Ding Yuhong, because Princess Shu Ning's embroidery could not be taught well even by Mr. Ding Yuhong.

Therefore, most people feel that the focus of Princess Shu Ning is not on embroidery, but on Queen Ji's intentions and admiration.

Shen Qi ignored everyone's thoughts, and still went to Qingsi Academy every day, while Wang Banxi was still waiting for her in the classroom.

In order to let Princess Shu Ning learn embroidery well, other courses in the academy were actually stopped for her, and the embroidery class was left.

Wang Banxi did not participate, and always read quietly on the side.

"Your Highness, you can't do this." Ding Yuhong shook his head and said.

"Why?" Shen Qi was puzzled.

"No one embroiders like you, the queen is as wise as a torch, and you can see at a glance that you don't care."

"But I'm afraid of piercing my hand."

"Your Highness, everyone who learns embroidery will get their hands pierced, this is a necessary process."

Shen Qi looked down at his ten fingers that were fully armed, and then looked at the pair of mandarin ducks in front of him that were not even as good as Tang Zongjiu's embroidery.

Shen Qi fell silent.

Embroidery or something, isn't she holding it up?
