Chapter 180 - New Year
Her words were laced with sarcasm, but how could Yun Qin not understand it? She smiled as she replied: "That's still better than someone trying to use all their tricks to become the prince's concubine."
"You!" Mu Ranshu fumed, she never expected her to be so sharp-tongued! Staring at Yun Qin, she angrily entered the palace.
Yun Qin also followed closely behind, and saw that quite a number of concubine Princess s had come to the bedroom. Queen was also there, and afraid that they might cause trouble, Yun Qin chose an inconspicuous place to sit.
Not long later, Situ Yuanwan walked in.
With Aunt Meng present, Yun Qin could only sit in her seat obediently, afraid that he would cause her to mutter again.
"Elder Sister Princess, Elder Sister Princess." A soft voice travelled into Yun Qin's ears.
Yun Qin looked around, only to see a young girl dressed in pink palace clothing sitting not far away on his right. The young girl was quietly calling out to him, and beside her sat a beautiful woman wearing a crabapple dress.
"Sigh." Yun Qin replied quietly like the Seven Princess s. Perhaps it was because the voice attracted Qi Fei's attention, she glanced at Yun Qin, then revealed a faint smile, her face revealing a gentleness that did not erode despite the passage of time.
Yun Qin smiled back at her. She did not expect Qi Fei to be so gentle, unlike Queen Chen Fei, who was filled with hostility.
The empress dowager walked slowly to the palace, where she was greeted by the concubines and children. As usual, the empress dowager tipped some things to the empress dowager, and then chatted for a while. The empress dowager's gaze fell upon Yun Qin as she smiled, "The Princess has grown quite a bit recently."
"It's all thanks to the good upbringing of the prince." Yun Qin replied softly, afraid that she would be targeted by the old witch if she did not do well.
Ever since she became pregnant, didn't she say that she was "plump" or "round"? Just how much flesh had grown on her face?
"Is that so? Seems like the Prince Mansion has a good meal, it's just that the secondary wife looks so delicate, I have to eat more, if not I would think that the Princess treated you unfairly." Her words indicated that she meant "Situ Yuanwan was mistreated by Yun Qin in the Prince Mansion".
Situ Yuanwan replied obediently, "Yes."
The empress dowager waved her hand. "This Dowager is also tired today. You can leave."
Hearing this, Yun Qin was like a wild horse that had escaped its reins. Just as she was about to stand up, her shoulder was pressed down by the Aunt Meng.
Aunt Meng warned him in a low voice: "Princess, wait a little longer."
Seeing that no one was paying attention to Yun Qin's movements, Aunt Meng heaved a sigh of relief. Just by looking at the tone of the empress dowager's voice, she could tell that she didn't like Yun Qin, and using her brain to think, she knew the reason. Mu Ranshu was the empress dowager's niece, the empress dowager had always wanted to betroth Mu Ranshu to the regent, but unfortunately, she had no chance to, so it couldn't be said that she liked Yun Qin.
When she was about to leave, Yun Qin turned around and looked at Aunt Meng. Seeing him nod his head, she slowly got up and was about to leave, but then she was stopped by a gentle voice.
"Princess of the banquet, hold up."
Yun Qin turned around and saw Qi Fei bringing her daughter over.
"Did Qin Er give you any trouble? When she came back that day, she told me that you promised to teach her how to make clothes. I thought that since Princess is so busy, how could she accept a little kid from you? Qi Fei said.
"Empress, don't worry, I promised Qin Er. Qin Er helped me out greatly, teaching her how to make clothes is nothing." Yun Qin laughed.
Ye Jing pouted and said, "mother, now you believe in your daughter, right?"
Qi Fei rubbed Ye Jing's head and looked at Yun Qin gratefully: "Then I'll have to trouble Princess of the banquet."
"Qin Er is so cute, it's no trouble." Yun Qin said, then looked at Qin Er, "Wait till I find a chance, I will have someone bring you out of the palace, and you can come to my Silk Cloth Pavilion to learn. If that's not possible, I'll teach you at the Sixiu Workshop in the palace. "
"Good!" Good! "Thank you elder sister."
After bidding farewell to Qi Fei and the others, Yun Qin returned to the Bamboo Palace. After hearing from the Aunt Meng that they would be staying in the Imperial Palace for a few more days, she felt bored and decided to call Ye Jing out.
Hearing that Yun Qin was going to teach her how to make clothes now, Ye Jing was so happy that she started to walk in circles on the spot.
Yun Qin led Ye Jing to Sixiu's Workshop. When the people from Sixiu's Workshop heard that the Princess s and the Seven Princess s wanted to use a clothes making machine, they immediately got someone to use a clothes making machine.
Yun Qin gave the basic steps of cutting clothes to Ye Jing and spent another three days teaching her how to sew them up. In less than eight days, Ye Jing was already capable of making simple little things.
She didn't expect that at such a young age, she was quite familiar with clothes making machines and embroidery.
Yun Qin praised her once, and Ye Jing looked up with a little pride: "It's all taught to me by mother, when I was eight years old my mother already started teaching me how to sew and embroider."
"Empress Qi can do it too?" Yun Qin was a little surprised.
Yu Er said. "I heard that before Empress Qi entered the palace, she was the number one embroidery lady in the entire Suzhou."
Yun Qin was puzzled. If that was the case, then why did Ye Jing look for him to learn clothes?
After she asked out the doubt in her heart, Ye Jing blinked and said, "My mother said that the clothes made by the Elder Sister Princess are nice to look at, and I've also seen them. That 'Bunny Hair Flower' and Fifth Sister's graft, they are really beautiful."
"Haha, so that's how it is." Yun Qin nodded, "I've already taught you this much. Tomorrow, big sister will go back to the Prince Mansion and I will teach you the remaining parts of it when I have the chance."
"Are you leaving tomorrow?" "Alright, I promise that I will train hard. When elder sister next time she enters the palace, she will be able to see the beautiful clothes that Qin Er has made."
"Alright!" Yun Qin replied, she felt that this girl's obsession with clothes was quite deep, and then she looked at the clothes she was wearing, the embroidery was a style that came from Su Xiu, and the details were different. They were different from the clothes that the other princes of Princess wore, one could tell that Empress Qi had taken great pains to make for her.
Not long after, Aunt Li who was taking care of Ye Jing came to pick her up. Yun Qin and Ye Jing waved their hands.
After returning to the bamboo palace, Aunt Meng had already tidied up the room. When Yun Qin entered, she was folding a blanket, sat down on the table and looked at the green orange, then asked in surprise: "Aunt, where did you get this?"
The Aunt Meng would naturally not tell her that the Marquis had asked for her when he heard that she was here, so she folded the blankets and smiled. "Someone from the royal kitchen sent this over, saying that the people from the different palaces have been eating too well lately.
"So it's like that." Yun Qin picked up a green orange, peeled it open and tasted it twice. It was sour, but she narrowed her eyes, looking straight at her appetite! The eunuch in the imperial kitchens was simply a worm within her belly. How could he know that she liked to eat sour food recently?
"Princess, we will be leaving tomorrow. Don't forget what old slave said to you. Aunt Meng spoke sincerely. If Imperial Concubine Shen was still alive, she would be very happy to know that she had a grandson.
She had served her for most of her life, but she had never seen her smile in this life before.
