Guogong Mansion—Peony Garden

Wei Xi'er didn't return to the Duke's Mansion until nightfall, and her excitement calmed down a little.

"Mom, my daughter has become the crown prince's concubine!"

As soon as Wei Xi'er returned to the Duke's Mansion, she went straight to Mrs. Wei Xu's Peony Garden.

"Really? That's great. I knew my daughter would definitely succeed!" Mrs. Xu smiled gently.

"It's all thanks to my mother's teachings! My daughter's embroidery has been praised by the Holy Emperor and the Queen."

Before she married into the Duke's palace, Xu became famous for her superb embroidery skills.

After she married into the Duke's palace, she seldom embroidered, but she passed on her skills to Wei Xi'er.

"It's you who worked hard and persevered. Otherwise, you wouldn't be as brilliant as you are today!" Mrs. Xu said cheerfully.

Although she is a concubine, she is the prince and the future emperor, so she will be the imperial concubine in the future. If you can give birth to a son and a half daughters as soon as possible, your status will be stronger in the future.

Mother and daughter chatted intimately.

Prince's Mansion

After Prince Xiao Yan learned that Wei Ling'er had been given a marriage to his uncle, Prince Jin, he became furious and smashed most of the things in the Prince's Mansion.

The palace maid and eunuch below were so frightened that they trembled. They knelt on the ground and lowered their heads to reduce their sense of presence to prevent the prince from venting his anger on herself.

The more Xiao Yan thought about it, the angrier she became, and decided to ask Wei Ling'er the next day why she suddenly changed her mind.

The next day, Prince Xiao Yan paid a private visit incognito and secretly went to the Duke's Mansion.

public office

Wei Tingshan was shocked when he learned that the prince had made a private visit to the Duke's Mansion, but he still received the prince.

"My lord, your highness is here to disturb me this time. I have something important to ask Ling'er. Can you send someone to ask Ling'er to come out and see you?"

"Your Highness, this matter may be inappropriate. My daughter is already getting married. If the news spreads about her private meeting with her husband, it will be bad for your reputation." Wei Tingshan declined with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"It doesn't matter, let's talk in the main hall, please help me pass the news." The prince did not give in at all and insisted on seeing Wei Ling'er.

"In this case, I obey my order and will send someone to invite my daughter. I can't decide whether to see her or not."

"My Highness has thanked the Duke, and I believe Ling'er will come out to see you!" the prince affirmed.

After a while, Xiaosi came back with a sad face.

The eldest lady doesn't want to come. I'll wait and see if His Highness the Crown Prince will blame him.

After Xiao Si came in, the prince looked behind him for a while, but did not see Wei Ling'er come in.

"Where is your eldest lady?" The prince's handsome face was slightly angry and he asked in a bad tone.

"The eldest lady said that it is not convenient for her to see her husband now that she is about to get married, and His Highness the Crown Prince should avoid suspicion." Xiao Si said solemnly.

The prince's face immediately became ugly.

Xiao Si trembled, but continued what the young lady told him: "The eldest lady also said that I was young and ignorant in the past. If there is anything that the prince misunderstood, please forgive me. In this life, there will be two people for the whole life, which the prince cannot do." But Prince Jin can do it! Prince, please come back."

After hearing this, the prince understood that Ling'er was blaming himself for not being able to be a couple for the rest of his life. He really couldn't do it.

The prince walked away with a cold face.

Wei Tingshan smiled with satisfaction after listening to Xiao Si's words.

Time passed slowly.

three days later

Hibiscus Court

The prince's visit had no impact on Wei Linger at all.

On this day, Wei Ling'er was concentrating on embroidering her own wedding handkerchief. Every stitch was done carefully and carefully. The auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes on it seemed to be given life in her hands. The patterns were lifelike and every line was It seemed to be alive, integrated with her thoughts and emotions, every detail was bright and gorgeous, and it seemed that the next moment it would jump out of the fabric and spread its wings.

This is not the most peculiar thing. The most peculiar thing is that this is a double-sided embroidery, and the other side shows a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water!

Two mandarin ducks dance with each other's necks crossed, like living creatures, the water ripples, lifelike.

They were playing in the water, and the water was sparkling, as if they were about to jump out at any moment.

Poria cocos and forsythia were standing aside and couldn't help but praise them repeatedly.

"Miss, your skills are unmatched by anyone in the Zhou Dynasty! The technique is unique, and the embroidered patterns are exquisite and vivid." Fuling said without exaggeration.

"Yes, yes, miss, it is really exquisite! No one can compare it!" Forsythia also praised.

Double-sided embroidery technique is also one of the techniques taught by Master Lingxu.

Wei Ling'er also tried double-sided embroidery for the first time. In addition to requiring the embroiderer to be highly concentrated, the technique is also very particular. If you don't pay attention to each stitch, the entire embroidery will be ruined.

This is very particular about embroidery skills, and you can't learn it even in ten or eight years.

Thanks to the teachings of Master Lingxu, Wei Ling'er learned this skill during meditation.

Wei Ling'er discovered that her current meditation learning ability is very strong, and one day can be compared to other people's five years.

In other words, as long as she meditates seriously and is not disturbed, she can achieve results in one day that others can achieve in five years.

Sometimes, a skill can be mastered in just one day.

As for double-sided embroidery, it took Wei Ling'er two days to barely master the essence.

She will still be cautious when operating, worried about making any mistakes.

Fortunately, after learning internal skills and mental techniques, her concentration and endurance were more than a little stronger than ordinary people.

After another half-quarter of an hour, Wei Ling'er stopped, with a happy expression on his face.

Putting down the needle and thread, even though it was Wei Linger, it was Wei Ling'er's first attempt, and she was so nervous that she sweated slightly on her forehead.

Wei Ling'er reached out to take the show handkerchief handed over by Forsythia and wiped her sweat before giving instructions.

"Forsythia, take down this embroidery and use it as a hijab on your wedding day."

"Okay. Miss, you take a rest and drink some hot tea. I will take it off right away."

Forsythia handed over another cup of hot tea.

Poria took the scissors aside and handed them to Forsythia. It took the two of them more than ten minutes to remove the embroidery perfectly.

The bride's wedding dress has been made to measure in the past two days, and it is estimated that it can be made before the wedding date.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't complete such a large wedding dress in a short time, Wei Ling'er would have wanted to embroider a wedding dress for herself.

When paired with this hijab, I believe they will complement each other! More brilliant!

King Jin's Mansion

September [-]th is an auspicious day. Today is the day when the King of Jin and the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion exchange gifts and accept gifts.

Early in the morning, the maids and Xiaosi in Prince Jin's palace were busy, going back and forth, busy preparing for the gift of receiving the gift.

The house was very lively.

Butler Zhu ordered his servants to fetch the Geng Tie that had been prepared and hand it over to the matchmaker himself.

Lin Yun and Lin Feng also directed their servants to carry out the counted gifts.

These betrothal gifts include all kinds of jewelry, splendid clothes, expensive calligraphy and paintings, which are enough to show that the king of Jin attaches great importance to the princess.

One load after another they were carried outside the Jin Palace and waited.

Until the king of Jin appeared, dressed in rich brocade clothes, elegant robes, high crown, and extraordinary majesty.

Everyone stopped busy and bowed to salute.

Prince Jin looked happy, with an imperceptible smile on his lips, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

Today is an important moment for him and Wei Linger.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready and ready to go at any time." Butler Zhu walked quickly to Prince Jin and reported.

"Okay, let's go!"

King Jin gave the order and the team marched to the Duke's Mansion in a mighty manner.

Guogong Mansion--Furong Garden

"Miss, Miss, I just heard from the concierge Xiaosi Xiaoliuzi that the King of Jin is already on his way and will be at our house soon. Xiaoliuzi went out to do some business and saw it on the way. He hurriedly came back to report to the Duke. I’ll report it.”

Fu Ling has always been close to Xiao Si, the maid in the house. Whenever there is any trouble in the house, she can always receive the news immediately.

"Xiao Liuzi said that the queue for acceptance is getting longer. Pedestrians on the street are talking a lot, saying that the lady is so lucky!" Fuling said excitedly about the news she just heard.

"Calculating the time, it should be almost here." Wei Ling'er listened to Fu Ling's words and was full of expectations.

"Miss, please hurry up and get ready. Can you take us to see the prince secretly?" Fu Ling took Wei Ling'er's arm and said coquettishly.

Wei Ling'er smiled. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, unmarried couples were not allowed to see each other on the day of receiving the lottery. They had to wait until the wedding day, and the groom personally took off the red hijab. It is said that in order to maintain a sense of mystery, the groom was allowed to see the most beautiful things on the wedding day. The perfect bride.

"I really can't do anything to you. Get ready and I'll take you to have a sneak peek later."

"Miss, you're so kind! I'll go and choose a nice dress for you. Forsythia, you go and take out the veil." Fuling hurriedly got ready, and at the same time, she didn't forget to remind Forsythia.

"Hmm, I'm going to take it out right away. On the day of receiving the lottery, the prince cannot see the young lady's face. We can't let the prince see it." Forsythia said while looking for something.

Wei Ling'er looked at the two busy maids, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, they were always thinking about themselves.

Outside the gate of the Duke's Mansion

At this time, many people had gathered at the entrance of the Duke's Mansion to watch the excitement.

Uncle Li, the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion, and his maid Xiao Si were waiting at the door.

After driving for a period of time, King Jin and his party stopped in front of the Duke's Mansion.

Uncle Li led his maid Xiaosi and quickly stepped forward to bow to King Jin.

"I have met Prince Jin. The Duke and the old lady are waiting in the inner courtyard. Please come in with me."

Butler Zhu and the matchmaker hurried forward and greeted Uncle Li warmly.

"Steward Zhu, Matchmaker Huang, thank you for your hard work and make a trip in person." Steward Li said politely.
