The Min family has lived in the capital for generations. It is a large and prosperous family with deep roots.
Her grandfather had five brothers, and her father's generation had seven brothers and five sisters. Just the things sent by these close relatives were countless.
She was married into the palace and became a queen, so the extra makeup sent by her tribe couldn't just be some clothes and fabrics.
Her stepmother never told her about the specific details, and she never thought of paying attention to them. She only paid attention to Di Hanxin, and thought about how to curry favor with the two queen mothers and suppress other concubines...
The original owner is so stupid!
I was deceived by my stepmother so much that I lost all my panties, but I still think she’s so nice!
Min Yiyi's mentality was a little bad.
She lives here with a vacation if you only have three steel coins in your pocket, why should you go on vacation? Life is almost like a year!
No, she must get back everything that belongs to the original owner! However, right now she has to do embroidery and can't find the energy to do it. She will spend the next few days first.
Even if you get through these few days with only three taels of silver left in your pocket, it's not enough.
If she needs some money somewhere, she can't afford even ten taels of silver. She can't afford to lose face.
Min Yiyi decided to talk to Di Hanxin.
Di Hanxin is reading the booklet.
Min Yiyi went in and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Di Hanxin raised his head and asked her, "What's the matter?"
"Excuse me, Your Majesty!" Min Yiyi said, "I have something that I would like to ask Your Majesty's permission for."
Di Hanxin: "Say."
Min Yiyi said that she hoped that 520 50 taels of embroidery thread and [-] taels of snack money could be transferred to the public account.
Di Hanxin was puzzled: "For this little thing, is it worth your trip? Why are you also my Queen of Daxia? You can't even afford this little money, right?"
Min Yiyi was also very concerned about face, and would never show her embarrassment in front of others, saying: "Of course not! I just think that a little embroidery thread and a few plates of snacks can be worth so much money? Among the people, one or two With silver, you can buy half a car of embroidery thread! Even if there are some valuable gold and silver threads in it, the quantity is not much, and it will never cost more than 500 taels! Not to mention the snacks, two ounces of money is enough for the snacks I want, he Ask me for 50 taels! I feel like I'm being blackmailed! But come to think of it, this may be the custom in the palace? So I came to ask the emperor to take the money as a prince! I don't want to be taken advantage of. "
Since Emperor Hanxin grew up in the palace, he has been paying attention to the game between great powers since he was a child, arranging troops and formations, employing people to know people, and the national economy and people's livelihood. He really doesn't know the price of embroidery thread and snacks among the people, and the price in the palace. Listen to Min Yiyi's words , he was silent for a while and said, "Okay, I'll tell them later."
Min Yiyi felt relieved and thanked him happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll go back and get busy first! Time is tight, so you have to hurry up!"
Di Hanxin: "Go ahead, if you do a good job, I will reward you."
Min Yiyi's eyes lit up: "Do you want some silver?"
Di Hanxin looked at her: "Are you really short of money?"
Min Yiyi: "No! How can I be short of money? I just asked casually! I have resigned."
When she returned to Kunhua Palace, she summoned all the concubines and told them the whole story.
The size of the picture is about two meters wide and three meters long, but it is not fully embroidered. It only embroiders five mountains, five towns, and five grains.
If eight girls embroider together, it can be done in three days.
After finally escaping from Empress Dowager Dong, Concubine Chun naturally did not sing the opposite, but studied the composition seriously.
Min Yiyi also said that the emperor was very concerned about this matter and promised that whoever embroidered well would be rewarded.
The two most respected women in the harem did not fight like black-eyed chickens like usual, but worked together to do this, so the other lower-ranking concubines naturally expressed that they would do their best.
Min Yiyi also said that the five mountains and five towns and grains have their own characteristics. Everyone does not need to use the same embroidery method. Everyone can use their own embroidery method and give it their own free play. Everyone is happy to do so.
After the division of labor, the girls each showed their talents and began to Yiyi greeted them very attentively, asking the maids to bring them tea and water from time to time, and also ordered the maids to massage their shoulders, back and arms.
The atmosphere was a little stiff at first, but later, Yigui and Hui Changzai accidentally bumped their heads together, looked at each other, and suddenly laughed. From this moment on, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
We arranged to have dinner together at noon. After all, they are all fifteen-year-old girls who still have a childish nature. They played together after the meal and the atmosphere became even better.
After embroidering for a day, when it was time to light the lanterns, each of their tasks was half completed.
The fastest movers are Min Rou and Shen Lingyue. They have already finished most of the embroidery and are expected to finish it in another half day tomorrow.
The slowest one is Min Yiyi.
She used the embroidery method taught by Rong's mother, which was a little slow, and her embroidery skills were very average.
At noon the next day, Min Rou and Shen Lingyue had completed their part, and the others had also completed most of it.
At this time Di Hanxin came over.
Upon hearing the announcement, the concubines stopped what they were doing, stood neatly in two rows, and paid their respects to him.
Di Hanxin asked them to get up and looked at Min Yiyi: "How is it? Is everything going well?"
Just as Min Yiyi was about to speak, Concubine Chun smiled extremely charmingly: "Your Majesty, come and take a look!"
She went over and took Di Hanxin's arm to the embroidery stand for him to look at.
"Yeah! Not bad!" The embroidered pictures were much more delicate and more majestic than the original paintings themselves. Di Hanxin commented: "The progress is very fast, and each mountain and town has different embroidery methods and different styles. It's great! "
"Your Majesty, look at it, which part is the best?" Shen Lingyue asked.
"Your Majesty." Wu promised to say from the side: "The Queen said that you told her that if you embroider well, the Emperor will reward you! How about you judge?"
She felt that given the emperor's dislike for Min Yiyi, maybe the emperor never said such words to her at all, but she was just talking nonsense to inspire everyone.
However, Di Hanxin did not refute, and looked really serious.
Wu promised to glance at Min Yiyi with some disappointment.
"Here." Di Hanxin pointed to a place, "This is Huashan Mountain, right? Three embroidery methods were used, and the tall and steep momentum jumped out."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Lingyue's expression changed and she glared at Wu Yaosheng.
Wu promised not to raise his head anymore and broke into a cold sweat.
I should have known better not to mention this.
Min Yiyi smiled and said: "I also think this mountain is the best in embroidery! Guess again, Your Majesty, who embroidered this?"
Emperor Hanxin looked at Min Rou and said with a smile, "This is Mr. Xi."
He collected the belongings of each concubine, and he was somewhat impressed by their female celebrities.
Especially Xi Guiren's, her female beauty is second to none, very good.
Min Rou smiled and lowered her eyes, a little shy.
This look is really touching.
Min Yiyi thought to herself, the male protagonist and the female protagonist are destined to be official couples!You can actually tell who embroidered it at a glance.
She was very happy to see the success and said with a smile: "Then, Your Majesty, what do you want to reward Mr. Xi?"
