Xiao Ruyue said: "Madame, Xiao Shang Shu has already reached the Weak Crown, it's time to get married. When the Xiao Shang Shu is on good terms with him, he will be able to use these things. Old madam need not decline. "
Yin Lin was Yuwen He's subordinate after all. She didn't want her to be present because he didn't want her to know too much.
Lu Yi nodded, but didn't quite understand what he meant.
Xiao Ruyue did not force him, but turned and instructed Yin Lin, "Yesterday I instructed you to clean out the embroidery room, was it ready? is about to enter the palace after noon, you cannot neglect him. "
Yin Lin replied: "Reporting to Empress, this servant has already cleaned it up yesterday, and will also tidy it up again this morning. Empress can check it out later."
Yin Lin always replied modestly, her tone never changing, to the extent that Xiao Ruyue always suspected that she had a temper.
"Alright, prepare some paper, pen, and thread for me. You must have it in hand. In the afternoon, I will properly consult the princess on the embroidery techniques of the girl."
"Yes." Yin Lin left as she replied. She knew that she was unwelcome, so she did not walk in front of Xiao Ruyue.
Not long after, Yao Ziyan entered the palace.
As always, she was well-dressed, with delicate plum makeup, a long embroidered coat of deep vermilion, and a rich, oppressing red and gold poncho dress, as if she wanted to beat anyone else down.
"Princess Hua-Yang's makeup and dressing are so exquisite today!" Seeing Yao Ziyan, Xiao Ruyue sighed in amazement, "This coat and golden horse face are so grand, even I couldn't support myself at such a young age. Also, these plum blossom makeup, when I was young in Empress Dowager, liked to listen to it the most, Princess Wangfei is so clever, not only is her red embroidery skills worth exploring, her makeup is also so good, I really found a good teacher."
Xiao Ruyue's words sounded like she was praising her, and every word she said was clearly saying that she was old. How could she not be angry? But to an outsider, these words were clearly words to praise her, causing Yao Ziyan to be unable to react even if she wanted to.
Today, not only had Xiao Ruyue invited the Wei Wangfei to the palace, but she had also invited a few of her first wives as well, saying that the place was bustling with people.
At this time, the first wife was sizing up Wei Wangfei's well-dressed attire and covered her mouth as she smiled.
But today, Xiao Ruyue was wearing a light green spring clothing, with green clothes helping her comb her hair into a simple bun. Her face was covered with a thin layer of pink rouge, and her pink face was like a painting.
On the other hand, Yao Ziyan who was dressed extravagantly, wearing luxurious clothes with many expensive gestures on top of her head, used rouge and water powder, it was the best of the Cigarette Water Pavilion, ordinary people would not be able to get it. The makeup was exquisite, but it was a painstaking disguise.
Unfortunately, when she stood in front of Xiao Ruyue, Xiao Ruyue's freshness made her feel all the more aged and aged. She was instantly outclassed.
Of course, how could an old woman who had just stepped into the thirties compare to a young girl? No matter how beautiful and beautiful a country was, it could not compete with the vicissitudes of time.
Yao Ziyan's face was extremely ugly, but with the difference between a sovereign and a subject, she still endured her anger and bowed deeply before feigning modesty. "The Empress is exaggerating, how could this subject dare to praise you in such a way?"
"Wei Wangfei doesn't have to be modest. Everyone present, in terms of beauty and skill, who would dare to be on par with you, Royal Concubine?"
Xiao Ruyue laughed and led everyone into the embroidery room.
As expected, Yin Lin was firm when it came to doing things. She had everything she needed.
Today, they had agreed that they would have to consult the embroidery staff from the Wei Wangfei, so Xiao Ruyue was like a beginner. She asked Yao Ziyan to explain everything from the composition to the drawing to the thread matching.
Yao Ziyan talked about what she was good at, and then she got proud, and explained everything in a logical and logical manner. She brought a few noble ladies and Xiao Ruyue along to draw a diagram, and choose a needle and thread.
Three women for a play, there are five women here, two flowers for an afternoon chat.
Xiao Ruyue gave Yao Ziyan enough room to display her skills, and seeing her blabbering on and on until she felt that she was bloated, Xiao Ruyue felt that it was ironic.
She had taught Yao Ziyan how to choose needles and how to mix them together. But now, she had just followed her instructions word for word and even put on a face of her own, showing how shameless she was, as the number one person in the world!
"I heard that the Wei Wangfei's female scholar was an expert. Looking at her today, it seems like she is not unworthy at all. This servant's wife has learnt this tiny bit of martial arts from mother at home. The Wang Shangshu's wife said with a look of envy.
"The workmanship of the Mrs. Wang is so exquisite, how can it be called insignificant skill? How could Ziyan dare to accept it? " As Yao Ziyan said that, his smile almost reached his ears.
The's wife also sighed in envy. "I heard that the wangfei is the same age as the wangfei yet she's so young. This kind of maintenance really makes me feel envious and ashamed."
The smile on Yao Ziyan's face stiffened, a look of disgust flashed past her eyes.
Xiao Ruyue sneered in her heart. Being caught off guard when someone mentioned their age, no matter who it was, would feel bad, let alone Yao Ziyan.
However, Yao Ziyan's disgust was quickly retracted, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face as if nothing had happened, "Why do you say that Mrs Liu's words?
Yao Ziyan was narrow-minded, she would take revenge for any grievances. It would never be good.
Therefore, this time, it was the Mrs Liu who felt awkward.
Even drinking water could make one fat, but no matter how much they tried, they could not lose weight. They tried dozens of methods, ate less food and medicine, but none of them worked, and when they looked for the imperial physician to take a look, it was truly acupuncture and cupping, but it was completely useless.
Yao Ziyan's slim and graceful figure was the type that countless women envied.
Now that everyone avoided mentioning the body position in front of Mrs Liu, it went without saying that Mrs Liu was embarrassed and displeased to be mentioned by a thin person like Yao Ziyan in front of him today.
The two women's eyes were locked on each other, and flames were shooting out in all directions. Just as they were about to hit each other, they suddenly heard the crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground.
Yao Ziyan and the Mrs Liu both turned to look, only to see the Empress's teacup shattered into pieces on the ground, and the goose yellow tea soup had also been soaked in her embroidered shoes.
"Yah." Lu Yi screamed as her face paled with fright. She hastily ran over. "Empress, you're not burning, right?"
"It's fine, it's fine. The tea is not hot, it's fine." I will go and change my shoes. " Xiao Ruyue said calmly, and instructed everyone to do their own thing, and then held onto Lu Yi's hand and left.
Yao Ziyan and Mrs Liu looked at each other, then dispersed the embroidery work. Although it looked peaceful, it was actually filled with waves of emotions.
Today, this matter could be considered to have been settled.
Mrs Liu was a person who had an extremely good personal relationship with others. Although Yao Ziyan was a Wei Wangfei and had a great background, because she often liked to brag and show off, she would suppress everyone at banquets at any time, causing many people to look down on him.
It would be more lively if they fought to the point of being black-eyed chickens.
After a while, Xiao Ruyue finished changing her shoes and came back, they were still pretending to be busy. Yao Ziyan and Mrs Liu didn't speak a word to each other.
Xiao Ruyue told Lu Yi to prepare some snacks and asked Yin Lin to bring the exquisite box that was on the dressing table in his room.
"The wangfei is a natural beauty and is doted on by the King of Wei. The Prince of Wei holds the wangfei in his hands, wishing that he could offer all the treasures in the world to the wangfei for her to enjoy. Furthermore, in all these years, the King of Wei has not even taken in a side room, not to mention a concubine, not to mention a little girl like her. Wei Wangfei, are you willing to talk about the way of the imperial husband? "
Yao Ziyan laughed, turning her head to look at the fat Mrs Liu, and said, "If the Empress is willing to listen, then this subject will be making a fool of herself. The prince treats me affectionately because his wife can always change things to please the prince, and as a woman, the only thing I can do is make my husband happy so that he will wholeheartedly focus on you.
Everyone knew that marble temple was an unruly person, when he went out to pick flowers and stir up grass, Mrs Liu became like this because he could not hold back his anger and drank to his heart's content. Later, when she wanted to return to her lightweight body, no matter how much effort she expended, she could only watch as one woman after another entered the room. Just thinking about it made him angry!
When Yao Ziyan said this, the Mrs Liu brightened up. "Princess has a brilliant plan?"
Yao Ziyan responded with a "En" but did not plan to say much. Presumably, she was still angry because of what happened just now.
