Dayu State attaches great importance to farming and weaving, and the Farming and Weaving Festival has a long history and has long become a tradition of Dayu State. Emperors of all dynasties also paid special attention to this festival, and it goes without saying that Emperor Qing came to this festival.
On the day of the Farming and Weaving Festival, Emperor Qing, along with several princes and ministers, took a chariot to work on the farmland near Lijing. In the palace, as soon as the hour passed, the officials and their families drove to the front door, where rows of embroidery stands for the girls had been set up in advance, and baskets for hanging threads were placed next to them. The young girls sat down in front of their respective embroidery stands. The new robes they planned to give to poor areas had already been cut and sewn in advance. What they were going to embroider now was naturally the embroidery they would eventually compare.
A few years ago, the White Queen hosted a weaving and embroidery conference. Everyone gathered together, chatted and laughed, and rushed to make some new robes. There was no embroidery because embroidery was too labor-intensive. Nowadays, since there is more embroidery, the tailoring of new robes is done in private beforehand.
Qin Jiu originally didn¡¯t want to participate, but since Concubine Hui had spoken, she naturally would not refute her intention, so she took a carriage to the palace early in the morning.
Not long after Qin Jiu sat down, Shang Sisi and Shang Chuchu arrived. Seeing Qin Jiu, Shang Chuchu took the initiative to come over, sat on the right side of Qin Jiu, and said with a playful smile: "Sister Qin, what are you going to embroider today?" Blinking at Qin Jiu, it was obvious that he had revealed the method Qin Jiu had told Shang Sisi without revealing anything.
Qin Jiu said with a smile: "I plan to embroider a pig!"
When Shang Chuchu heard this, she laughed out loud, "Sister Qin, if you really want to embroider pigs, then we will coincide with each other."
Qin Jiu raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you want to embroider?"
"I want to embroider some stupid geese." Shang Chuchu pursed his lips and smiled.
Qin Jiu couldn't help but smile. Most of the embroiders like to embroider grass, birds and fish, and those who embroider animals are mostly majestic animals, such as tigers, leopards and horses. Things like embroidering pigs, sheep and poultry are really rare.
Shang Sisi also followed her sister and sat on the left side of Qin Jiu. Her complexion looked pretty good, her beautiful eyes were firm, and she was obviously confident. Fang sat there and ordered the maid to start dividing the threads.
Qin Jiu raised his eyes and glanced around, and saw Su Wanxiang and two maids coming slowly. Because of the special nature of this festival, in order for the women in the palace to understand the hardships of the common people, they had to wear commoners and wavy skirts regardless of whether they were doing embroidery or weaving. Su Wanxiang was wearing a moon-colored sarong today. Her black hair was combed into a simple bun, with only a wooden hairpin inserted into her head. She looked simple and dignified. She sat down in front of an embroidery stand in front of Qin Jiu. One of the maids following her stretched the cloth on the embroidery stand, and the other bent down and began to squat down.
After a while, Concubine Hui walked out in a light dress, surrounded by palace ladies. Together with several concubines of Emperor Qing, she sat in front of the embroidery stand in the front row and embroidered herself.
Hours later, no one spoke in Nuoda Square, and all the girls bowed their heads and began to embroider.
Lizhi had already separated the silk threads, and Qin Jiu picked up the embroidery needle and began to embroider.
Embroidery is a delicate job and takes a lot of time. At noon, Concubine Hui ordered the imperial kitchen to place meals in Chongren Hall for everyone to eat. After eating, the ladies rested for a while, then went over and started embroidering again.
It was not until the afternoon of Shen Shi that Qin Jiu finally finished the embroidery. What she embroidered was a pig, using a soft pink color. In front of the pig was a bush of ink orchid. She used double-sided embroidery. From the front, it looks like a pig, but from the back, it looks like a red fox and a bush of yellow wild chrysanthemums. The cute pig and the cunning fox, the front and back are colorful and contrasting, very unique.
Although double-sided embroidery is not a novel embroidery method, it is extremely difficult to master. It is usually used to embroider relatively simple things. It is rare to be able to embroider something like Qin Jiu.
Shang Chuchu was embroidering several big white geese playing in the water. She had finished the embroidery. When she saw Qin Jiu finished the embroidery, she came over to watch.
"Sister Qin, I thought pigs were nothing to embroider, but I never thought you could embroider them so cutely. I like them very much. When will Sister Qin embroider another one for me?" Shang Chuchu clicked his tongue and praised, finally forgetting Don't ask for it. She smiled beautifully, and her eyes rolled around like black mercury in two pools of white mercury.
Qin Jiu raised her lips and smiled: "You are a princess of a great country, no matter what kind of embroidery you want, this is worthy of your request."
Shang Chuchu stretched out her fingers and touched Qin Jiuxiu's pink pig, her eyes shining brightly, "Sister Qin, I really like this piglet so much. I never knew it could be so lovable."
Qin Jiu glanced at the white geese that Shang Chuchu had embroidered, and said meaningfully: "Things that look silly and stupid are actually very cute sometimes. If you like it, I will embroider a sachet for you later." "
"That's great, thank you Sister Qin." Shang ChuchuHe smiled happily, his eyes curved into crescent moons.
"Nine masters, can you embroider a sachet for this princess?" came a charming voice.
This voice was very familiar to Qin Jiu. It was the voice of Princess Zhaoping Yan Shuixuan. She couldn't help being surprised, and when she looked back, she realized that Princess Zhaoping was sitting in front of the embroidery shelf not far behind her.
She was wearing a sky blue cloth skirt, a flying bun, and a silver hairpin on her side. She held an embroidery needle in her hand, but on the embroidery frame in front of her, there was only one chrysanthemum embroidered, and it was obvious that the embroidery was not finished yet. .
Qin Jiu didn't pay attention to the people around her. She remembered that there was no one behind her before. Who knew that after lunch, Zhaoping sat behind her without knowing it, and she didn't know when Zhaoping came over. Ordinarily, she has no friendship with Zhao Ping now. She just met him once at the Snow Praying Festival. With Zhao Ping's personality, he would never ask someone he didn't know well for the kind of sachet that only close friends would give each other. Especially, she was a member of the Tianchen Sect whom Zhao Ping hated to see.
Could it be that she saw something?
Qin Jiu couldn't help but feel a little frightened, but when she thought about it carefully, she didn't seem to have done anything that might arouse Zhaoping's suspicion.
Qin Jiu stood up and saluted Princess Zhaoping, stroked her embroidered hair on her forehead, smiled seductively at Zhaoping, and said very politely: "Thanks to the princess for her modest skills of mine, if the princess likes it, let alone embroider an incense stick." The bag can be used to embroider a screen."
Princess Zhaoping stared at Qin Jiu's face for a moment, then smiled and said: "I think it's amazing that Master Jiu can embroider such an ordinary vulgar object into such a cute one. I would like to ask Master Jiu to make an embroidery for me." I wonder if Mr. Jiu is willing to take the sachet full of worry-free flowers?"
"Of course I would like to be able to serve the princess." Qin Jiu agreed with a smile and sat back in front of the embroidery stand.
Princess Zhaoping wanted a sachet embroidered with worry-free flowers. She had given one to Zhaoping before. Now, she suddenly asked herself to see what Zhao Ping had done when she was embroidering, which made her feel familiar.
When she embroiders, she has some habitual movements, such as the movements of her fingers holding the embroidery needle. Although they have changed a lot in the past two years, they will inevitably show up once she is fully engaged. This is also Zhao Ping, and no one else would be able to tell because she often embroiders with Zhao Ping.
Although Qin Jiu was a little worried, she soon felt relieved. The things she embroidered now were completely different from before. Even if she embroidered a sachet for Zhao Ping, she couldn't see anything.
"Princess, what kind of sachet do you want?" Qin Jiu asked Shang Chuchu sideways.
Shang Chuchu flashed her big eyes, tilted her head and said, "I want someone who can embroider piglets."
Qin Jiu smiled and said, "That's fine, but you have to embroider a silly goose for me." She gave it to durian.
Shang Chuchu is also an exquisite person. When he heard it, he knew what Qin Jiu was paying attention to, and his face turned slightly red.
It¡¯s almost time, and all the ladies have almost finished their embroidery. Due to limited time, I did not choose large embroidery items, so the embroidery was quick. Someone from the palace came over and collected everyone's embroidery. The embroidery ladies in the palace gathered together and selected the top ten.
To Qin Jiu¡¯s surprise, the top two were tied, namely Su Wanxiang and Shang Sisi. It is said that both of them used their own original embroidery methods. The second place was Qin Jiu. It is said that she came second because she embroidered piglets, which was extremely novel and her embroidery skills were good. It was the Farming and Weaving Festival, so as a pig raised by a farmer, it was very suitable for the occasion, so she was given second place. Shang Chuchu¡¯s big white goose is in third place. Since Emperor Qing's concubines were not among the candidates, the following ones were all embroidered by the daughters of the court ministers. Princess Zhaoping was not chosen because her cluster of chrysanthemums was not finished.
Emperor Qing's chariot had already returned to the palace and arrived at Chongren Hall. Concubine Hui sent palace servants to bring up the top ten embroideries. After a while, Li Ying, the eunuch in charge of Emperor Qing, came over to send a message, saying that the emperor had invited Several of them went over to receive the reward.
In Chongren Hall, Emperor Qing was sitting on the dragon chair in the middle. On the chair to his right were several veterans of the court. On the chairs on the left, several princes sat. On the table in the middle, several dishes were placed, all of which were simple meals eaten by farmers. It seemed that Emperor Qing wanted his ministers to not only experience the hardships of farming, but also taste their daily diet.
After Qin Jiu entered, he followed the other girls to salute Emperor Qing, and took a sneak peek, and saw Yan Wang Yan Yu holding a sweet potato in his hand, frowning, raising his neck, and swallowing with great difficulty. The little eunuch standing behind him patted his back carefully and with some fear. Another young eunuch held a tea cup in his hand and whispered: "Your Majesty, please drink your water smoothly!"
Yan Yu glared at the eunuch and said angrily, "No need."
Qin Jiu almost wanted to laugh, but she held it back with great difficulty. Shang Chuchu, who was standing in front of her, couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
Emperor Qing¡¯s face darkened, he frowned, and snorted coldly, ¡°King Yan!¡±
Yan Yu agreed and hurriedly took the tea cup and drank it in one gulp. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??, the urn sounded loudly and he said angrily: "No need."
