After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight
Chapter 241 Slap in the face
Princess Wanping frowned: "Meng Xiaojiu, you should at least make something convincing, embroidery, or double-sided embroidery, what do you think?"
The only person between Meng Qianqian and her was Madam Xing.
Her voice was not loud, and she was speaking only to Meng Qianqian.
Mrs. Xing pretended she heard nothing.
Meng Qianqian sighed softly: "Princess, do you really not trust me?"
Princess Wanping glared at her and said, "Can anyone believe what you did?"
Mrs. Xing, who was sandwiched between the two of them: I believe it!
"Why does Lu Yuan like you?"
Princess Wanping really couldn't understand, apart from being pretty, being able to fight, knowing medicine, being able to coax people, and knowing how to make money, what was so good about this girl?
"Princess……"
"How much silver did you pay for it?"
"Ok?"
Without waiting for Meng Qianqian to answer, Princess Wanping raised her hand and signaled Meng Qianqian to stop talking.
The things in Yanyu Pavilion are very expensive, especially the rare double-sided embroidery, which is probably worth hundreds of gold.
Given the express prohibition of her father, giving the empress such a valuable item was tantamount to blatant bribery.
Princess Wanping said unhappily, "You will say that the fan was given to you by me. You don't know its price."
No one would believe this... However, Princess Wanping actually wanted to help her out, which was really beyond Meng Qianqian's expectation.
Princess Wanping's idea was simple. Didn't Lu Yuan like Meng Qianqian? Since she couldn't drive her away, she would use her ability to protect Meng Qianqian and let Lu Yuan know that she could get along with Meng Qianqian.
Who doesn’t like a princess who is tolerant?
Meng Qianqian smiled and asked, "Princess, why are you helping me?"
Princess Wanping said bluntly: "Of course it's because I want to be the first wife."
Meng Qianqian thought for a moment and asked, "So, let Lu Yuan be the mistress?"
Princess Wanping: “…”
The wife of the Earl of Changning said, "Madam Lu, what you did was wrong. You took the embroidery from the Misty Rain Pavilion as your own. Not only did you deceive the Queen, you also violated the order of the Emperor. If my daughter hadn't discovered it in time, and the Emperor held her accountable one day, wouldn't you have harmed the Queen as well?"
Meng Qianqian asked: "You are so good at making hats, are you a weaver of straw hats?"
Princess Wanping frowned: "It's just a round fan. How poor are you, the Changning Marquis's Mansion, that even a fan can be considered a bribe!"
Tao Shiyu did not dare to say anything bad to the princess, and explained in a gentle tone: "Princess Wanping, you don't know that double-sided embroidery is the unique craft of the owner of Yanyu Pavilion. Even her disciples may not be qualified to learn it. So I can be sure that this round fan must be an embroidery of the owner of Yanyu Pavilion."
When these words were spoken, everyone gasped.
The embroidery made by the owner of Yanyu Pavilion is priceless and much more valuable than gold, silver and jewelry. And you still say it is not bribery?
It’s really confirmed!
Meng Qianqian smiled: "Are you sure? How much do you know about the head of Yanyu Pavilion?"
Tao Shiyu said confidently: "I just said that my master is the direct disciple of the head of Yanyu Pavilion——"
Meng Qianqian interrupted her: "You are Wu Xiu Niang's apprentice? I said I was the apprentice of the mistress of the Yanyu Pavilion! She taught me how to embroider! Why? It's not okay? Anyway, if you open your mouth, I will say what you say!"
Mrs. Xing said, "Miss Tao, there is no evidence, but it is slander."
Tao Shiyu listened to what the two said, not only did she not lose her composure, but she also showed a determined smile: "What a coincidence, my master Wu Xiu Niang also entered the palace today, in Kunning Palace, please ask the queen to send someone to summon my master to see her, and we will know who is right and who is wrong!"
Meng Qianqian said calmly, "Okay, go and invite them."
Lady Changningbo smiled and said, "It's useless to bluff. Be sensible and admit your mistake to the Queen as soon as possible. I believe the Queen will be magnanimous and will not hold it against you."
"In my opinion, let's just forget about this matter."
Yao Qingluan didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Meng Qianqian stood up and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, if you are upright, you are not afraid of your own shadow. Please summon Wu Xiu Niang. I also want to know if this Miss Tao is really Wu Xiu Niang's apprentice!"
Yao Qingluan was very distressed.
Meng Qianqian is one of the Twelve Guards with a special status. She has also made contributions to quelling the epidemic. If she is accused of a crime in her own Jingren Palace, it might make the emperor unhappy.
But it was Meng Qianqian who asked for it herself.
Are all the generals who go to the battlefield like this?
Yao Qingluan had no choice but to ask someone to go to Kunning Palace to ask for help.
Wu Xiu Niang arrived very quickly.
Many ladies and daughters in the palace are frequent visitors to the Yanyu Pavilion. They have seen Wu Xiu Niang and know that she is indeed the direct disciple of the master of the Yanyu Pavilion.
"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
Everyone was secretly amazed that a little embroiderer's etiquette was no less than that of the women from wealthy families. This showed that Madam Yun was an extraordinary person.
Yao Qingluan didn't let her get up immediately, but asked, "I heard from Miss Tao that you are her master, is this true?"
Wu Xiu Niang lowered her eyes, not daring to look around casually: "It is true. I discovered Miss Tao's talent for needlework by chance, so I took her in as my apprentice, and it has been two years."
The wife of the Earl of Changning showed a smug look on her face: "Madam Lu Shao, now you should finally believe that my daughter did not lie, right?"
Meng Qianqian: "I didn't lie either!"
When Wu Xiuniang heard the familiar voice, she paused slightly and glanced at Meng Qianqian out of the corner of her eye.
Meng Qianqian smiled at her.
Wu Xiu Niang was very surprised.
However, the more shocking thing is yet to come.
Yao Qingluan asked the maid to bring the double-sided embroidered round fan to her: "Do you recognize this fan?"
Wu Xiu Niang held the folding fan, looked at both sides, and her face changed: "Double-sided embroidery? This is——"
Tao Shiyu said, "Master, this fan is an embroidery of the great master, right? I remember you mentioned to me that the great master's double-sided embroidery technique is never passed on to others. It is her unique craft."
Wu Xiu Niang stared at the round fan in her hand, gripped the handle tightly and said, "Double-sided embroidery is too difficult. I have followed my master for ten years, but I have only learned the basics."
Tao Shiyu said to Meng Qianqian, "Did you hear that? Madam Yun is the only one in the capital who can embroider double-sided embroidery. How dare you say you embroidered it yourself?"
Wu Xiu Niang looked at Meng Qianqian in disbelief.
Meng Qianqian looked at her with a half-smile: "Mrs. Wu, look carefully, is it really your master's embroidery? You have followed her for ten years, you can't be unable to distinguish her embroidery from others, right?"
Wu Xiu Niang calmed down and said: "This embroidery... is indeed very similar to Master's work."
No, she is not Master's embroidery. Master's embroidery is more exquisite than this one.
But didn’t Master say that?
They were not yet old enough to learn double-sided embroidery, and the master refused to teach them the essence, but taught it to a novice little girl!
How much effort did the master put in to enable her to learn double-sided embroidery in such a short time?
It’s obvious that the master is impatient to teach his disciples!
The deep jealousy in her heart made Wu Xiu Niang say those words just now.
Anyway, she was not wrong, it does look like it.
They are master and apprentice, so of course the embroidery they made is similar, but the Queen didn’t ask, right?
Then you don’t have to say it yourself.
Furthermore, perhaps this was really the master's embroidery, but the master ruined it and gave it to Meng Qianqian.
She couldn't accept that after ten years of apprenticeship, she lost to a junior sister who had just joined the school.
Obviously, she is the disciple that the master values the most, and she is the one who is most qualified to inherit the master's mantle.
Meng Qianqian saw through the other person's thoughts at a glance and smiled faintly: "Sister Wu, you didn't think that you were the only one entering the palace today?"
Before Wu Xiu Niang could understand what Meng Qianqian meant, the eunuch's report came from outside the palace:
"Madam Yun from Yanyu Pavilion wants to see you!"
