Gong Qianzhu found the palace of the King of the Charm after a lot of twists and turns, the scale of the Red Leaf Ridge is much larger than its name, in short, this entire mountain range can almost be called the Red Leaf Ridge, she almost walked most of the mountain range before she met a few women who came out of the Huansha, and hurriedly asked them about the location of the palace, and then arrived at the gate of the Charm Palace.

Looking at this tall and magnificent palace gate, Gong Qianzhu only felt as if there was a feeling of Mount Tai pressing the top, which made her breathless, and while the palace gate was not opened, she hurriedly went to the lake to wash her face, and walked a long way, maybe it was stained with some dust.

The face reflected in the lake was still her familiar face, but there was an extra peach blossom between her eyebrows, she thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that she had flicked it on her head before leaving, presumably this was the mark she left.

I hate it, why can't I wash it off? I can't get it off with the fairy method, alas, I can only do this for the time being, fortunately, it's just a peach blossom print, and it doesn't look too strange......

"Who are you?" A woman's questioning voice suddenly came from behind her, Gong Qianzhu hurriedly turned around, and saw that it was a few maids who were about to go out with baskets, and the maidservants were all dressed in standard Miao dress, which was similar to the rebellious girl just now, and was looking at her with a look of surprise and vigilance.

Gong Qianzhu hurriedly stood up, not caring about the skirt being wet by the lake, and hurriedly explained: "My name is Gong Qianzhu, and I am really sorry to disturb the girls when I came here to ask to see the King of Charm." ”

One of the standard goose-faced maidservants looked around her with a basket a few times, and asked slowly, "Why do you want to see the king?"

"Uh......" Gong Qianzhu was stunned, and suddenly found that he couldn't think of any suitable reason, seeing that the maid gradually showed a suspicious look, she hurriedly said, "I...... I don't have anywhere to go, so I want to come here and see if I can find a place to stay. ”

"Are you here to find something to do?" the maidservant saw her nod, and turned to a maid behind her who had a purple crescent mark on her cheeks, "Aunt Cuiwi, there is a girl here who wants to come to the palace to do something. ”

The woman known as Aunt Cui Wei stepped forward in surprise and looked her up and down, with a hint of regret in her eyes, "Such a beautiful girl...... Alas, another poor man. ”

Gong Qianzhu was a little weak-hearted, but he still nodded very cooperatively.

"What will you do?" Cui Wei put down the basket and picked up her hand to examine it carefully, frowning slightly, "The palm is so delicate, how can you do rough work?"

Gong Qianzhu hurriedly went through what he knew in his mind, and said hurriedly, "That...... I have a little dabbling in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, and calligraphy. ”

Cui Wei frowned again, "What use are these noble ladies' tricks here...... By the way, what instrument do you play?"

"Hmm...... The lyre, the guzheng, the pipa, the gonghou, and even the flute can ......"

Seeing that Cuiwei's brows were furrowing more and more, Gong Qianzhu's voice couldn't help but decrease.

"So be it. Cui Wei sighed, "You will go to the Tianxiu room to work as a handyman first—will you know how to embroider with women?"

"Uh......" Gong Qianzhu couldn't help but be embarrassed, she could do anything in her life, but she was at a loss for this female red embroidery, and even the flowers embroidered by Yunluo were much better than hers, "I ...... You can try. ”

·

Gong Qianzhu was arranged into the Tianxiu room in this way, Cuiwei people are very good, afraid that she will not adapt to the life in the palace, often bring some delicious food to see her, and personally help her choose a few sets of maid unified Miao costumes, look around her left and right, always feel dissatisfied with the slight twisting of eyebrows.

"It's still pretty, but it always feels weird. Cui Wei touched her chin and pondered, "It's still your original dress that suits you." ”

Gong Qianzhu likes it very much, "I think it's very good, it's good to try different forms of clothes once in a while, thank you, Aunt Cuiwi." ”

"I just like you girl. Cui Wei couldn't help pinching her face and said with a smile, "Do a good job, I will let the girls of the Tianxiu Room take care of you." ”

Gong Qianzhu nodded gratefully, watched Cui Wei leave before sitting in front of the embroidery shed, and followed the embroidery girls around her to learn to thread the needle, and the girls were also very good, carefully teaching her the method of embroidery.

"Embroidery is generally divided into nine categories of forty-three kinds, mainly Qi needle, pick needle, set needle, needle, needle, needle, needle, needle, needle, flat gold, dot, beat, knot, net embroidery, ice needle, pick flowers, brocade, carved scale needle, hair needle, bead needle, etc., different stitches are used to embroider different things, such as rare birds and beasts are mostly embroidered with needles, roller needles, flowers are generally embroidered with loose needles, character scenery we are embroidered with random needles, as for dot embroidery and embroidery ......"

Gong Qianzhu listened to one head and two big, and suddenly felt that learning to embroidery was a heavy and long way to go......

"Uh, girl, can you teach me how to embroider first?" Seeing the girl's gushing appearance, a cold sweat broke out on the back of her head, and she hurriedly pleaded.

"Well, by the way, I don't call me a girl, you just call me Ah Zhen. Ah Zhen smiled slightly, reminiscent of red apples in the sun, very cute.

Gong Qianzhu embroidered a large piece of red maple leaves under the guidance of Ah Zhen, I heard that this cloth is to make an embroidery screen, put it in the bedroom of the King of Charm, presumably this King of Charm is particularly fond of maple leaves.

Ah Zhen chatted with her while teaching her embroidery, and had to listen to Gong Qianzhu tell her story, Gong Qianzhu had no choice but to tell a sad story, which made Ah Zhen cry with a smile on her face, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt in her heart.

"Qianzhu, did you draw this flower on your forehead yourself, it's so beautiful. Ah Zhen suddenly stopped her gaze on the Jin Tian on her forehead, stretched out her index finger and touched it, and exclaimed.

"Uh, yes......" she smiled unnaturally, and suddenly the needle under her hand was deflected and pierced into her finger, and she couldn't help but let out a low cry.

"What's wrong? stabbed your hand?" Ah Zhen hurriedly took her hand and took a closer look, the small wound had already healed after floating out a little white pure fairy qi, and couldn't help frowning strangely, "It's weird, why didn't you see the bleeding ......?"

Gong Qianzhu hurriedly withdrew his hand to cover it up: "Maybe the wound is too small." ”

Ah Zhen nodded, her eyes swept out the window, and muttered, "It's getting dark, Showa should come back too......"

"Showa?" Gong Qianzhu looked up in surprise, "Who is that?"

Ah Zhen hesitated for a while, and did not answer her question directly, but kindly admonished: "Qianzhu, about Showa, you'd better know as little as possible, and don't mention the relationship between Showa and the king in the palace, there will be murder." ”

Gong Qianzhu saw that her solemn face didn't look like she was joking, and she couldn't help nodding seriously, but she was curious about this mysterious Showa in her heart.

That night, there was a storm in Hongye Ridge, and the huge thunder exploded in the ears, but most of the people had fallen asleep, only one or two timid embroidery girls hid in the quilt and covered their ears tightly, Ah Zhen also went to bed after chanting a few words about how Showa had not come back, under the dim and beating candles, only Gong Qianzhu was still sitting in front of the embroidery shed and practicing the needlework he had just learned, and a long oblique shadow was cast on the wall lonely.

Suddenly heard the sound of footsteps and the sound of clothes rubbing outside the door, Gong Qianzhu thought that it might be the embroidery girl who went out and came back, and hurriedly put down the needle and thread in his hand to open the door, but he didn't expect the person to open the door first.

At that moment, lightning and thunder roared, and the face of the person who came was illuminated by the lightning and turned extremely pale, a pale and delicate face, the empty and godless eyes were like ghosts in the dazzling lightning, and the right eye was tied with a thick bandage, and viscous and thick blood slowly flowed out under the bandage......

Gong Qianzhu was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and before he could cover his mouth, a terrible and frightened scream had already resounded in the sky.
