Chen Wanyin felt a little shy at this time and found that her heart was beating faster.

She looked at Gao Xiyue with gratitude, and Gao Xiyue nodded imperceptibly.

"Your Majesty, look over there."

Gao Xiyue has made up her mind to transport the emperor on an assembly line.

The emperor walked slowly to Hai Lan's stall with Gao Xiyue, and was attracted by the exquisite embroidery at first sight.

Hai Lan's embroidery has always been unique. The delicate needlework and lifelike patterns all demonstrate her ingenuity and dexterity. She has also been praised by the Queen Mother herself more than once.

Just now, the Queen Mother "bought" an embroidery of Guanyin from her at a high price. Of course, when Hai Lan was embroidering the Guanyin, she specially replaced Guanyin's face with the Queen Mother's.

Although there was no one-to-one replica, the similarity in his eyebrows and eyes just caught the Queen Mother's heart.

Not long after the Queen Mother was surrounded by the crowd and left, the Emperor came over.

The emperor stopped and looked at the embroidery carefully, with admiration in his eyes.

Seeing the emperor like this, Gao Xiyue also praised softly, "Your Majesty, Lady Hai's embroidery skills are getting more and more exquisite. I like the handkerchief embroidered with peacocks and the one with butterflies. Your Majesty, please help me choose."

Hai Lan immediately understood what he meant and walked over, intending to pick up the handkerchief and introduce it to the emperor.

Before the emperor could get close, Ruyi suddenly appeared.

She dressed up specially for today. Unlike the standard color of the old concubine before, she chose a lighter and more elegant light green. Standing there, not talking, not lifting her armor, not pouting, and not looking at her makeup, she really showed some elegance like orchid.

Ruyi had just been unable to stand the way Gao Xiyue tried every trick to win her favor, but it was a pity that Yihuan was useless and speaking up for her would have no effect.

I still have to stand up and remind the emperor who is truly virtuous.

She planned to show her talent to the emperor, so she picked up a handkerchief embroidered with landscapes, pouted her lips, and said softly, "Your Majesty."

The hoarse voice immediately attracted the emperor's attention.

Gao Xiyue also turned her head, and the first person she saw was not Ruyi, but a pair of short and thick fingers like small radishes, tightly bound by royal blue armor, pinching Hai Lan's handkerchief.

She gasped and almost cursed out loud!

But thinking of the Emperor being by her side and her character being played today, she could only curse in her heart, "Be careful with your claws! Don't let your armor get caught on the handkerchief! This was embroidered by Hai Lan with great effort! If you damage the handkerchief, I will tear your armor apart with my own hands!"

Ruyi had no idea of ​​Gao Xiyue's mental activities. She was very proud when she saw the emperor's eyes on her.

"Your Majesty, I have seen this embroidery. The needlework is delicate and the colors are harmonious. It is a top-notch embroidery. However, the landscape should be majestic and magnificent, so that people can be amazed when they see it. However, this handkerchief of Lady Hai is too delicate and lacks agility. It seems that Your Majesty needs to give more advice to Lady Hai's taste so that she can make amazing embroidery."

After saying this, both Hai Lan and Gao Xiyue looked at Ruyi speechlessly, "No, old concubine, are you okay..."

It was originally just a little thing to please the Emperor, but you took it to a new level...

Hailan frowned slightly, smiled and began to explain.

Who would have thought that the emperor would fall for this? His bad temper came out again, "Ruyi, I really like what you said. Hailan, you should learn more from Ruyi..."

Ruyi really forgot how Rongyin slapped her in the face last time using the bird's nest incident.

Hai Lan did not want to argue at this time, but responded softly, and followed the emperor's words to praise Ruyi, "Sister, you are right. I will often ask you for advice in the future. Since you are so knowledgeable about embroidery, why don't you help me see if there are any worthwhile embroidery pieces on this stall?"

Ruyi happily went over.

She had been planning to push Gao Xiyue away from the emperor, but she didn't expect Gao Xiyue to have a cold look on her face. She stared at her with slightly raised eyebrows, as if "Don't come close to me. If you dare to push me, I will definitely beat you" was written on her face.

Ruyi stood on the other side of the emperor, commented on each one, and finally chose a green plum sachet.

"Sister really has good taste." Hai Lan walked over with a smile and glanced at the green plum sachet in Ruyi's hand.

Ruyi was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I think the green plum blossoms above are very unique."

Ruyi thought Hailan would be eager to present the sachet to her, after all, she had just given her a lot of advice, but she didn't expect Hailan to smile and say directly: "Sister, this sachet is a rare treasure. If you like it, buy it."

Ruyi frowned slightly and looked at Hailan with some confusion, "Hailan, what do you mean?"

Hai Lan looked at Ruyi, then at the emperor, and said softly, "Sister, the war in Jinchuan is getting intense now. Although we are in the palace, we should also contribute to the war."

"This is the core spirit of the palace market held by the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Chun. If you can buy this sachet, the money you get can be used as military funds. A drop of water makes a river, and it can help the emperor to some extent. Sister, you love the emperor so much and care about the people, you will not be reluctant, right?"

The emperor also looked at Ruyi at this time.

Gao Xiyue understood Hai Lan's thoughts instantly, and smiled to help her, "I will pay a hundred taels of gold for the peacock handkerchief I saw earlier."

She didn't feel bad at all, because her father was rich anyway!

If Ruyi doesn't do it, it means she doesn't love the emperor sincerely, and her chanting of sutras and prayers are all fake. If she does, her own hundred taels of gold are like pearls and jade in front of her, and she will have to spend a lot of money because she can't bear to lose face. If she loses her face, she will really become a stingy "old concubine" in the harem.

Ruyi's expression froze, and she glanced at the emperor, "Noble Concubine Gao is really generous."

There is no direct answer as to whether to buy or not.

Gao Xiyue smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Concubine Xian? For many years, I have been actively responding to the call of the Queen, being frugal and never extravagant. Now I have given out a hundred taels of gold to share the worries of the Emperor and to worry about the people of the Qing Dynasty. Could it be that Concubine Xian is not the same?"

"..." Ruyi glanced at the emperor and found that the emperor did not rebuke Gao Xiyue for her outrageous words. In the end, Hai Lan was still urging her. She could only force a smile and said, "Since the imperial concubine is like this, I can't fall behind. I will also give a hundred taels of gold."

The emperor also smiled happily, "Ruyi, you really have a thoughtful heart."

Hai Lan also thanked her gently and handed the sachet to Ruyi without hesitation. She had personally instructed the little palace maid to embroider the sachet, so it was worth it.
