The embroidery workshop soon filled with people.
"Oh my God, the peacock feather line is gone! She deserves it, all good things have happened to her, so bad luck this time!"
"That's right, see how she deals! If Mammy handed me the job, I wouldn't be like her!"
"Hehe, is she going to be kicked out of the palace this time?"
"What's more, you're going to lose your head!"
Yingluo turned around suddenly and glanced at everyone coldly: "On Huangquan Road, with you all with me, I'm not lonely at all!"
Everyone was happily falling into the pit, when they suddenly heard such a sentence from her, they were unhappy at once, and Linglong came out of the crowd and said something to the crowd: "What nonsense are you talking about! If you lost something, why should we be buried with you!"
"She's right." A cold and stern voice suddenly sounded behind her, Linglong turned around and was horrified to find Mammy Zhang standing behind her, staring at her like a knife, "The phoenix robe is a gift from the embroidery workshop. Everyone is one from top to bottom. If the queen asks, will she only be held responsible for her own fault? If you have time to gloat in misfortune, why not touch your neck to see if it is hard or not, and can you resist a knife from the Meridian Gate!"
If these words came out of Wei Yingluo's mouth, most people would not believe it.
But when she said it from Mammy Zhang's mouth, especially when she said it for the second time, everyone had to believe it.
This matter, I am afraid that it is true that one is prosperous, one is damaged, and one is bad, and the entire embroidery workshop will suffer.
A palace maid cried in fear: "What should I do? I don't want to die!"
A palace maid next to her was busy covering her mouth: "Bah, that word is not allowed in the palace! Palace maid A: It's time, you can still be a taboo!"
Another one gritted his teeth and said, "Who the hell stole something with a thousand knives, hurry up and return it, or keep it as a funeral?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked around, looking at each other with suspicion, wishing they could immediately find out the thief who harmed everyone.
"Mammy, it's my fault!" Ji Xiang suddenly thumped and knelt at Mammy Zhang's feet. Unlike others, she was always thinking of Wei Yingluo, and in order to make her suffer less grievances, she was willing to replace her with herself, "Yes. I insisted on pulling Sister Yingluo away, so that the thief succeeded, if you want to punish me, punish me!"
Wei Yingluo glanced at her, knelt down beside her, and said to Mammy Zhang, "Mammy, one person does the work and one person is responsible. The peacock feather line was stolen by me, and I am willing to take responsibility."
Mammy Zhang sighed: "What are you going to do?"
"The most urgent task at the moment is to gather the strength of the whole workshop to make the phoenix robe first." Wei Yingluo pondered for a moment, then gritted her teeth, "As for the peacock feather line... I hope mammy can promise me one thing."
"What's the matter?" Mammy Zhang asked.
"Please open the warehouse door!"
The last time Wei Yingluo went into the warehouse, it was because she had eaten kaolin and her stomach was full, and the clothes on her body did not fit. Mammy Zhang ordered her to go to the warehouse to get some old clothes that fit.
There, she not only saw many old clothes and new clothes, but also many old threads and new threads. Almost all the embroidery threads that have been popular all over the world or are currently in fashion are gathered here, and there is always a substitute.
The door of the warehouse opened, and Wei Yingluo walked past the shelf, picking up the embroidery thread in the box the same way.
Gold Thread - No, no. The peacock feather line has colorful lights in the sun, while the golden line has only one color light. When the sun shines, people will find clues.
In the same way, silver thread, red thread, and embroidery threads of other colors will not work.
Although the color line can compare one or two in color, it lacks the natural richness, and it is not even comparable to the second line of gold and silver.
Jixiang held the lamp for her, and said with a crying voice: "This is not good, that is not good, or else, you should put the fault on me, I am rough and fleshy, I have been beaten..."
"I won't let you be beaten." Wei Yingluo continued to rummage through the embroidery thread, her eyes were very firm, "I won't let Mammy Zhang be beaten either."
She knew very well that if she couldn't make a phoenix robe in the end, two people would definitely take all the responsibility on themselves.
One is auspicious, and the other is Mammy Zhang.
"Hey! Why are you so stubborn!" Jixiang was so anxious that he bumped into a wooden shelf beside him. A bag was knocked down by her, and the rope that tied the bag was a little loose, but it was opened all of a sudden. , the contents of the bag leaked out.
Wei Yingluo was stunned: "This is..."
In a piece of gold and silver threads, the things on the ground are very simple.
"Oh, it's the fur used to make end caps in winter, or some inferior stuff, it's useless!" Jixiang bent over to pick up the white fur on the ground, "There is a box for other things, and that's it, the boxes are all round. No, just put it in a bag."
After picking it up, she tied the bag with a rope, Jixiang was standing on tiptoe to put the bag back on the shelf, but a hand suddenly stretched out beside her, stopping her movement.
Jixiang was stunned, turned his head and asked, "Sister Yingluo?"
Wei Yingluo took the bag from her hand, opened the string that tied the bag again, took out a piece of fur, and handed it to her eyes to examine.
It is indeed inferior, and it also has a smell of animals. If it is not treated, I am afraid that even making clothes for the palace maid, the palace maid will dislike it.
Seeing her thoughtful expression, Jixiang asked in disbelief: "Sister Yingluo, you, you shouldn't be... Don't, this is the most useless thing!"
"There are no useless people and no useless things in this world." Wei Yingluo laughed, lightly stroking the soft fur with one finger, her eyes shining with wisdom, "Look at how to use it, and use it accordingly. Where is it!"
A month later—
"Jinyu 4 pieces and 2 boxes for offering jade, and 2 handles for Laishi Ruyi."
"The Ceramics Workshop presents a pair of jadeite Danfeng vases and a pair of crystal Pisces vases."
"The glass factory presents a box of ivory-carved dressing boxes and a watch enamel mirror."
"A pair of red sandalwood seat peacock feather palace fans, a red sandalwood carved throne, and a pair of cloisonné enamel cranes and wax tables are presented at the screen."
Outside the Changchun Palace, the eunuchs and palace ladies who were sent to present gifts from each workshop lined up in a long line. Wei Yingluo stood among them, with a tray in her hand.
"Take it easy." Wei Yingluo said to herself, "It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen."
At this time, two eunuchs bowed out of the hall, Xu Shi was young, and when he was talking in a low voice, he did not avoid the eyes and ears beside him, but heard one of them say: "Seeing the empress's face, it's really ugly, There was no smile from start to finish!"
"The noble concubine is also ruthless." Another said, "It's not good to give something, but I actually gave the empress a goddess of mercy made of gold."
No one in the palace knows who knows. Since the death of the eldest son, Queen Fucha has nowhere to go. What Concubine Huigui did was to tear open the scar on Queen Fucha's heart in public and sprinkle salt on it.
Wei Yingluo was standing in the middle of the crowd.
Although it is said that man-made things are in heaven, if you want to succeed, it is best to avoid man-made disasters as much as possible.
After receiving such a big gift from Concubine Huigui, I was afraid that the Empress didn't say anything on the surface, but she endured a burst of anger in her heart. Those who go in and present gifts now, no matter what they offer, will not be able to please them.
If it doesn't work, it will be angered...
"Unless..." Wei Yingluo glanced back, "I will present a gift after that person."
The pace fell further and further, and before she knew it, Wei Yingluo retreated to the end of the team.
The maids in front came in one by one with trays in their hands, and there were constant singing and salutes coming from the hall.
Before she knew it, she was the only one left...
"Gift from the Embroidery Workshop—"
The eunuch's summons came from inside the hall.
Obviously there was no one else behind her, but Wei Yingluo kept looking back, anxious.
"Gift from the Embroidery Workshop—"
The eunuch's summons sounded again.
There are only three things to do, and if the third summons is heard, politeness will become rude.
Wei Yingluo had to take a deep breath and said to herself, "It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen!"
Holding the tray in her hand, she walked heavily and slowly into the Changchun Palace.
It is thrifty every day, but on this birthday banquet, Changchun Palace is also decorated with lanterns and splendor. The nobles that Wei Yingluo knew and did not recognize were sitting at the banquet, the coral tree as tall as one person, the diorama that was neater and smoother than the calm lake, and the rare treasures that ordinary people could only see in their dreams. Stacked on the temple, they are all gifts for the queen.
He summoned the eunuch and shouted, "Xianfeng in the embroidery workshop wears a peony robe, and a pair of high-soled women's shoes with azurite satin embroidered crested head!"
Yingluo knelt down and raised the tray high: "Congratulations to the Queen's longevity and longevity."
The tray was held high, and the next action was not seen for a long time.
Xu is the first time to see the noble, so excited that he forgot what to do next? Queen Fucha kindly reminded: "When you arrive in the hall, why haven't you opened the yellow silk?"
Wei Yingluo pursed her lips, hid at the end of the team, slowed down, and finally did not reveal the yellow silk. She had tried her best, but it was still too late. With a sigh in her heart, Wei Yingluo was about to lift the yellow silk, but at this moment, a long voice came from behind her: "The emperor has a reward!"
It was as if an electric current was flowing through Wei Yingluo's body.
She had to use all her strength to suppress the ecstasy in her heart.
That man... finally came.
