From eunuch to emperor

"Mandarin ducks playing in the water."

The embroidered lady picked up the fan, on which two mandarin ducks were in the water, set off by a few lotus leaves, which looked vivid.

"Why did you start embroidering such vulgar paintings?"

Xiu Niang's embroidery and tattoos are very elegant, such as plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, or gods, Buddhas and monsters.

"It's just boring."

Xiu Niang gently put down the fan, looked at Long Chen affectionately, and said: "The gods and demons you drew for me last time are not finished yet, draw another one for me."

There are many paintings hanging on the wall, all of which are masterpieces of Long Chen.

The legends of gods and demons in this world are different. Long Chen painted the myths of the earth into pictures, including "Shan Hai Jing", "Journey to the West", and "Feng Shen Yan Yi".

The unfinished painting is the ghost fox in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio". Xiuniang especially likes fox demons.

"Okay, I'll draw some more pictures."

The embroiderer brought pens, inks and paints, and spread out rice paper.

Long Chen fell ink and slowly drew on the rice paper, while Xiu Niang handed the paint beside him, cooperating tacitly.

The two of them didn't speak, but there was affection between their eyebrows, and the atmosphere was ambiguous and warm.

These days, Long Chen spent in Xiuge like this, both of them had a very happy time.

Soon, a picture of a nine-tailed demon fox was completed.

"A nine-tailed fox is a sky fox."

Long Chen put away his pen and ink.

The embroiderer took the picture of the nine-tailed fox and said, "You can tattoo a nine-tailed celestial fox for me."

Long Chen smiled and said, "Really?"

Xiu Niang held the painting in both hands, looked back and smiled, and said charmingly: "Yes, I want it!"

Long Chen was charmed, this embroidered lady's charm is really comparable to that of a nine-tailed fox.

"it is good."

The embroiderer took the painting of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, and dragged Long Chen slowly into the golden silk curtain. Inside was a desk covered with velvet, with silver needles and paints beside it.

This is where the embroiderer tattoos the guests.

Of course, it is rarely used here, and there are very few embroiderers who can make tattoos by themselves.

Xiu Niang stood beside the desk, with her back to Long Chen.

The coat slipped off, revealing a flawless jade back, covered by waterfall-like hair, making her look even more charming.

Long Chen was a little surprised, the owner of the embroidery pavilion didn't have tattoos?

This is as strange as those who sell alcohol do not drink, and those who sell cigarettes do not smoke.

"What's wrong? Is it weird?"

The embroidered lady looked back and smiled.

"I thought... you had tattoos."

Long Chen smiled, salivating at Xiu Niang.

Xiu Niang lay on the desk, folded her hands, rested her head on it, and said, "Come on..."

Long Chen walked over, brushed his black hair lightly, and slid his fingertips across the creamy jade back, Xiu Niang giggled: "Don't make trouble, hurry up and get tattooed..."

Long Chen picked up a silver needle, dipped it in the dye, and said, "I'm about to drop the needle!"

The embroidered lady responded.

Long Chen's silver needle fell down lightly, the needle tip pierced into the jade back, and a blood mark appeared.

Xiu Niang bit her red lips lightly, as if she was enduring, but also seemed to be enjoying...

Long Chen's silver needle slowly fell, and a tattoo of a nine-tailed sky fox slowly took shape.

In this way, the two spent the night in the golden silk curtain.

A rooster crowed to break the silence, the east turned white, and Long Chen's pattern was completed.

He picked up a towel and dried the blood on his back.

Long Chen caressed Yu's back lightly, feeling a little distressed for Xiu Niang.

"Does it hurt?"

The embroidered lady turned her head and asked with a smile.

"It hurts."

Long Chen told the truth.

Xiu Niang got up slowly, put on her clothes, and said with a smile: "Come again tonight, I will tattoo you, and we will be even."

Long Chen hugged Xiu Niang, hugged him in his arms, and said with a smile: "Okay."

After leaving the door, Long Chen went downstairs, and Xiang Ning and the others were waiting downstairs.

"My lord, have you done nothing wrong?"

"I'm a eunuch, what bad things can I do?"

"What's wrong with the eunuch, you have done more bad things in the harem than anyone else."

He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng were overjoyed when they heard this, and exclaimed: "General Long is powerful, and he can do bad things without that thing."

Long Chen clicked his tongue and said: "Why do you feel that you are scolding me?"

He Wenbai giggled and said, "That's absolutely not what I mean."

Hu Zhiheng gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "The general is really a role model for my generation!"

The more he heard this, the more strange it became. Long Chen gave a bag of gold coins, and then went out to return to the palace.

Upstairs, Xiu Niang asked the maid to put away the velvet desk, and went into the bathroom by herself.

The dress fell down, and Xiu Niang looked at the nine-tailed sky fox on her back in front of the bronze mirror, with a helpless smile on her face.

"Fortune tricks people..."

Xiu Niang got into the tub and let the medicine heal the tattoo on her back.

Hongmei entered the bathroom from the outside and asked, "Master, are you going to start preparing?"

Xiu Niang leaned against the edge of the bathtub, her eyes were closed and she didn't speak.

"Pavilion Master, Long Chengen..."

Hongmei hesitated to speak, she is a servant and cannot be the master of Xiuniang.

"Arrange!"

Xiu Niang opened her eyes, a trace of coldness emerged.

Hongmei immediately went to make arrangements.

...

Ministry of Industry.

Wang Yao, the general supervisor, entered the back office with a dark face. When he saw Shang Shu Xu Ming, he said, "My lord, there is something wrong with Long Shuai's mansion."

Xu Ming quickly asked, "What's the problem? Will it affect the construction progress?"

Wang Yao sat down, poured himself a bowl of tea, and said, "Yes, all the craftsmen I recruited suddenly vomited and vomited, and they couldn't do it any more."

Xu Ming immediately said: "Recruiting people again, we are in a hurry, General Long is still staying in the palace, it is inconvenient."

Wang Yao felt a headache, it was not so easy to find someone at this time.

"Okay, I'll find a way."

Long Chen's matter is important, if there is no other way, he has to find a way.

...

The cavalry of the South Camp was training, and Zhang Qian, Dugu Jiali, Wu Chuchu, and Wu Xiangyun were stationed in the barracks.

In addition to the cavalry, the crossbowmen are also retraining a batch. Last time, the bed crossbow and the god arm bow had a miraculous effect on the heavy cavalry.

If you deal with the barbarians, these big killers will definitely make a difference.

...

After Long Chen returned to the palace from Xiuge, he fell asleep soundly, Xiang Ning was also exhausted by Hongmei last night, and hugged Long Chen soundly asleep.

The two sleeping gods didn't get up until sunset, but Xiang Ning still felt sleepy, so she ate something and went back to sleep.

Long Chen checked that the time was almost up, took a shower and changed clothes, and immediately went to the embroidery pavilion.

Tonight it was Xiu Niang's turn to tattoo Long Chen.

This time, Long Chen went to tattoo alone.

When they arrived at Xiuge, Hongmei greeted her with a smile, and invited Long Chen to go up to the second floor.

The embroidered lady painted a gorgeous makeup, wearing a dress with bare shoulders, and the golden steps looked luxurious and glamorous under the candlelight.

"Does it look good?"

The embroiderer giggled coquettishly.

Long Chen was stunned, and praised: "I have the charm of a nine-tailed fox, and I am charmed."

Xiu Niang took Long Chen's hand, went inside, and untied Long Chen's belt.

Xiu Niang winked and said with a charming smile: "Why, you don't want to be taken off by me?"

Long Chen hugged Xiu Niang, said with a smile: "How come, you just take it off."

The coat was ready, and the embroiderer took advantage of the opportunity to press Long Chen on the stage, held a silver needle in her hand, sat on it, and asked with a smile: "Say, what do you want me to tattoo for you?"
