288, attention
"Embroider purses?" Gu Qianxue cried, "If you let me embroider purses, it's better to let me dance."
Princess Yong'an remembered Gu Qianxue's dancing posture, and her face turned pale, "Have you never sewed since you were a child?"
Gu Qianxue thought about it very seriously, "Sewed, sewed on human skin." Every operation needs to be sutured, so this should... count.
"..." Concubine Qin and Princess Yong'an only thought that Gu Qianxue was frightened, and started talking nonsense.
Concubine Qin sighed, "Then what should I do, or else... I will help you."
Gu Qianxue smiled bitterly, "Farewell, the empress should know about King Li's temper. If I really ask someone else to do it for me, the consequences will be even more terrible. I'll just do it tonight."
Yue'er and Qiao'er looked at Gu Qianxue with grateful eyes, tears in their eyes, and secretly swore that even if they didn't sleep tonight, they would teach the princess how to make purses.
"Since you don't know how to do it, what should you do?" Princess Yong'an was worried.
Gu Qianxue spread her hands, "Princess, don't worry, King Li doesn't really want a purse, he just wants to get rid of me, I'll just make one, no matter if it's ugly or not, it's a business deal anyway."
Princess Yong'an nodded reassuringly, "That's right, but you'd better make it as elegant as possible, otherwise you'll offend Mi'er, and I'm afraid I'll punish you again."
"Got it." Gu Qianxue nodded.
A farce is over.
Princess Yong'an and Concubine Qin naturally did not dare to delay Gu Qianxue's time, after all, the purse will be handed over at noon tomorrow, and time is tight.
After returning to Yusheng Residence, as soon as they entered the room, Yue'er and Qiao'er knelt down in front of Gu Qianxue.
Gu Qianxue was startled, "Hey, why don't you just kneel? If you have something to say, if you think you're wrong, admit it sincerely. What can kneeling and kowtowing make up for?"
Yue'er said, "Master Qianxue, although you are only a guest of the palace, from now on, the slaves will be yours."
Qiao'er also said, "The same goes for the servant girl, the slave girl's life belongs to the princess."
Gu Qianxue picked up the two of them from the ground, "You have time to show your loyalty here, why don't you hurry up and take out your sewing kits, aren't you good at embroidering purses on weekdays? The time to test you has come!" Assembly orders are general.
Yue'er and Qiao'er looked at each other, then ran out immediately and rushed back to their room to get the sewing kit.
Gu Qianxue sat slumped on the chair, staring blankly at the desolate scenery outside the house, and at this moment her mood was the same as that of the dead branches and rotten leaves.
At this moment, Sun Yu, the steward of Yushengju, came back, "The villain has met Princess Qianxue."
Gu Qianxue said, "You must be from King Li, tell me, what's wrong with him again?"
"..." Sun Yu automatically blocked Princess Qianxue's rebellious words, "Go back to Princess Qianxue, my lord, I need to use these for the fabric and needlework of the purse." He said, and handed over the bag in his hand.
Gu Qianxue opened the bag, but saw a piece of black cloth and gold thread.
The black fabric is completely different from the material used by Wanqi Yunfei. Although it is the same black, it feels soft and has a glossy surface. If you guessed right, it is a tribute from the palace and cannot be bought by the people. And the gold thread is real gold thread, although there is cotton and linen inside, but gold thread is added.
There are many cloths in the palace, but the tribute is only a few dozen pieces every year, most of which are distributed to the concubines in the harem, and only a small part is rewarded to the subordinates.
Among the tribute fabrics, all the black fabrics were given to King Li, which shows the emperor's preference for this eldest prince.
However, Gu Qianxue had a very bad premonition in her heart—she originally thought that King Li was using the purse to make things difficult for her, but if it was really making things difficult, why did he send the fabric? Sending this expensive cloth... Does King Li want to wear it on his body
For a while, my mind was in chaos.
Before Gu Qianxue could figure out the reason, she saw Yue'er and Qiao'er hurried back from the outside, each holding a small basket with needles, thread and brains in it. Women in Nanyue country all have such a special girl. Little red basket.
The two ran in a hurry, panting heavily, "Princess, we... are back." But they saw that Princess Qianxue was holding a piece of black material in his hand.
Those who are female celebrities are naturally knowledgeable, not to mention that the two of them have served the palace for many years, so they immediately understood the meaning.
Gu Qianxue looked down at the material in her hand, "It seems that I really can't handle it." Then, she had an inspiration, "Go and get the pen and paper."
Yue'er hurriedly put down the basket and fetched a pen and paper, "Princess, the pen and paper are here."
Gu Qianxue took the pen and paper, and spread out the paper on the table, "There should be many styles of purses, right? Come and tell me what kind of purses men usually use." Very seriously.
Yue'er and Qiao'er talked about the styles for Gu Qianxue, and Gu Qianxue drew various styles on the paper based on their descriptions, "Is this the case?"
The two were surprised to find that the princess's painter is so good. With only a few strokes, the purse was painted so lifelike. If the princess could draw some fancy shapes, it would be even better!
Of course, at this time of crisis, Yue'er and Qiao'er will not let Master Qianxue do tricks.
Gu Qianxue condensed her eyebrows, carefully inspected several kinds of purses, and then pointed to the vertical rectangular purses, "Just embroider this kind."
Qiaoer said, "Although this kind of purse is simple in style, it is extremely difficult to match the color, because the usable area is too small, but I don't know what kind of flowers to embroider."
Gu Qianxue chuckled, "How ugly is a big man's purse full of flowers and plants? It's better to use some geometric figures to make it more handsome." As she spoke, she drew two lines on the purse.
A horizontal line, a vertical line, and the two lines intersect at the upper left corner of the purse.
It seems to be a line drawn randomly, but it has a different feeling.
Yue'er was surprised, "Princess, do you want to embroider just these two threads?"
"Isn't it pretty?" Gu Qianxue smiled.
Yue'er nodded quickly, "It's beautiful, it's really beautiful! It would be weird if there were flowers and plants in the prince's purse."
That's right... such an uncertain King Li, if he carried an embroidered purse, it would be as weird as a big man pinching embroidery needles.
With design, everything is easy to handle.
Yue'er and Qiao'er taught Gu Qianxue how to sew, and after a while, Gu Qianxue began to practice.
Since there is no need for embroidery, Gu Qianxue would not be troubled if she just sewed it up. After all, she has had surgery, hasn't she? After surgery, he sewed human skin, and after sewing human skin, he sewed cloth, and only sewed the cloth as human skin.
In doing so, it was evening.
Jing Shu came to look for Gu Qianxue.
Regarding the farce at the Nanshan Courtyard in the daytime, it was kept secret from the outside world, and neither the parties involved nor anyone who knew the details of the matter kept their mouths shut.
