Queen's scheming

Chapter 258 Birthday Ceremony

"Oh, Mother Jiang, please help me to see how to cut this piece. I have already cut two pieces of material. Just now the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that this kind of material can be used by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a year. Just a dozen or so horses, it won't stand up to the scissors of this palace!" Nanny Jiang had just talked to Miao Lu about the rules of the Nuan Pavilion outside for a long time before she brought him in, and she heard Shen Qingyi yelling from the side, shaking I lost the scissors and refused to move again!

Yuhe was giggling and laughing, Miaolu pretended to be a little white flower, smiled obsequiously, and leaned closer to Yuhe and said, "Sister Yuhe, what is the empress doing here? Is there no one in this palace?" It is impossible to make clothes for Ningsu Palace, but the Empress Dowager herself is required to do it herself, how can this be done, if it is hurt by scissors, it will be bad!"

Miao Lu looked concerned and worried, if Yu He hadn't been told by Nanny Jiang early on, she would really have been deceived by her.

Yu He spread out her hands and said with a smile: "There's nothing you can do about it. It will be the emperor's birthday in a month or so. The emperor is young, so he won't make a fuss, but in the harem, we will gather together as usual. Once we got together, now that the emperor is persuaded by our empress, he also adheres to the principle of sharing the rain and dew, and I am afraid that it will be very lively, and our empress does not want to be passed by by others, so we insist on preparing a birthday gift for the emperor."

The corners of Yu He's mouth were slightly raised, and her pink lips hooked in the direction of Shen Qingyi, and said, "So, isn't your empress just holding on to Buddha's feet temporarily? It only took half a cup of tea, and two bolts of cloth have already been cut. It’s strange that the head of the House of Internal Affairs is distressed, according to our empress, I’m afraid the emperor’s dragon robe will have to be worn out in the coming year!”

Miao Lu clicked her tongue and whispered: "But it's too difficult to rush to make a dragon robe in more than a month. How is our empress' embroidery?"

Miao Lu had just finished asking this question, Shen Qingyi said "Ouch" and said softly, "Jiang Mama, this dragon pattern is too difficult, it didn't take half a quarter of an hour. Bengong's hands have already been pierced several times!" Shen Qingyi secretly slandered, only thinking about that bitch Tang Aoxue embroidering the purse, and angrily talking about the embroiderer, really shooting herself in the foot!

Jiang Momo is an old man in Ningsu Palace, besides, Shen Qingyi doesn't hold her too much, so she immediately said angrily: "If the empress can't do it, don't make such vicious oaths in your head, this old slave is with you!" Said, just let you cut a middle coat that fits your body, and you don't need to embroider patterns, just sip it on the corners, so that you don't fear it will be worn out. Besides, your craftsmanship is excellent. If you don't do it well, the emperor wears it inside, and no one can see it. At most, it's because you feel uncomfortable, and you don't want to be ashamed. But you insist on changing the pattern, and you insist on embroidering the dragon robe. The dragon pattern of the dragon robe has to be embroidered by the maids of the embroidering room, so you have to embroider the cuff, two fingers wide, otherwise how can you say that you made this dragon robe yourself?"

Shen Qingyi was a little stuck, and continued to sew while holding her breath, and said a few more times, making Jiang Nanny feel so distressed, she still stretched out and said: "My good lady, just bear with it, when the time comes, you will not be restricted On the other hand, if the emperor looks at the scars on your hands, a pool of water will come out of your heart, and you have not suffered this crime in vain. If you don't do any sewing, just cut it, then throw it to the sewing room , even if the emperor accepts your birthday gift, he will not feel at ease, and will only blame you for not being careful!"

Shen Qingyi was taught, and nodded eagerly, as if just remembering Miaolu, greeted her and said: "I was so busy talking to Mother Jiang that I forgot about you. Today is your first day to serve in the Nuan Pavilion. You don’t need to do anything, just watch carefully how Nanny Jiang and Yuhe act, you just learn it, and you will get started slowly. In fact, there are not so many rules in the warm pavilion of Ningsu Palace. Be careful, it is easier to serve than the outer hall, alas, who makes the outer hall come to people all the time, those concubines are not easy to fool."

Miao Lu stood in front of Shen Qingyi, and Shen Qingyi saw that she was a little cautious, so she quickly grabbed her hand and explained: "I wanted to propose you to serve in the Nuan Pavilion early on, but when I left Tang Gui Concubine's matter, this matter has been delayed for a while, one is to let you have a good rest, and you will recover from your injuries; the other is to let you have time to learn more rules. I was always watched by people, and I accidentally took the wrong place, so I went online, but I am the master of the harem, so it is not easy to favor, and you are tired and suffer. Therefore, I mentioned you to come in , don’t resent me for making you suffer in the outer hall.”

Miao Lu smiled sweetly and said: "What did the empress say? It's too late for the servants to be grateful. How could they blame the empress?"

Shen Qingyi seemed to be relieved, took tea from the small table at the side to drink, and then asked as if suddenly thinking: "Miao Lu, how is your sewing?"

Miao Lu was specially trained, how can she lose the chain on the female celebrity, and proudly swaggered: "It's not that the slaves are not humble, I am afraid that the maids in the sewing room of the House of Internal Affairs may not have the ability of slaves To tell you the truth, when I was young, I was lucky enough to meet an embroiderer, she invented several stitches, but she had no one to inherit her skills, so I handed over all my skills to my servant!"

Shen Qingyi smiled immediately, took Miaolu's hand like a sister, and said with a smile: "That's great, come and teach me a lesson, I'm born to be against this embroidery needle, why don't you use it?" Knowing how to use the stick, you can call it to your own hand at every turn!"

Miao Lu was about to make a good impression on Shen Qingyi by taking advantage of the fact that she had just entered the Nuan Pavilion today, so she hurriedly said: "If the empress does not despise the stupidity of the slaves, as long as you give the slaves some tricks, the slaves can do it for you." OK!"

Shen Qingyi took a sneaky look at Jiang Nanny, hurriedly waved her hands and said, "That's not necessary, I have to touch every stitch, no? You just teach me!"

Miao Lu's first day in the Nuan Pavilion of Ningsu Palace was extremely comfortable, and after three or four days of such harmony, Miao Lu sneaked out of Ningsu Palace and met Tang Aoxue when no one was prepared!
When Tang Aoxue heard that Shen Qingyi was working with needles and threads, she couldn't help mocking: "I don't think my embroidery skills are shameful. Last time I embroidered a purse, it's fine, but this time I thought about dragon robes. She really dislikes her reputation." sounds amazing!"

Miao Lu couldn't help complaining for a while, saying: "The empress's needlework is really not good. The servants took great pains to teach, and nine out of ten times they were tied on the hands of the servants. They said that they embroidered patterns that were two fingers wide on the left and right sides. Now it's not enough. It's embroidered by an inch, but most of them are done by slaves!"

Tang Aoxue thought about it a few times, but felt that what Jiang Nanny said was reasonable, if the emperor saw the holes in Shen Qingyi's hands, no matter how ugly Shen Qingyi embroidered the dragon robe, Li Tianyou would happily accept it!

"Since the empress is useless in needlework, you can help me a little bit, it's best to be your embroidery worker!" Tang Aoxue stared at Miaolu and smiled meaningfully. This time she must make Shen Qingyi look good!
