Poor Lady

Chapter 36: Snow Shadow (1)

Another half month passed, and Liu Qianer gradually discovered that something was wrong.

The people who were sent to monitor the Qi family brought back the same news every day. Even if Qi Surong had nothing to do, it was impossible for him to give up and find another way. She only knows how to buy embroidery thread every day, how much time does she have to waste?

Liu Qianer didn't think Qi Surong would be so stupid. She also sent everyone to inquire about the situation in the Qi family's house. After a few days, she found something strange. The Qi family has been reclusive and low-key in recent days. In addition to sending people to buy embroidery thread as usual, there is no other abnormality. There was no anxiety on the servant's face, and it was even a little careless.

Liu Qian'er was dark, could it be that Qi Surong had already bought all the embroidery threads? Soon, she denied the guess again. This embroidery is embroidered for foreign envoys, it is about national prestige, and there is no room for mistakes. With Qi Surong's character, she will never take it lightly and embroider a simple small picture. In this case, the embroidery thread she needs is not a small amount.

How could she buy all the materials in such a short period of time?

Or maybe she doesn't need blue, green, and purple embroidery threads at all? But before, she had been buying these kinds of embroidery threads, and it was unlikely that she would suddenly no longer need them.

She has studied her double-sided embroidery. In order to achieve uniformity on both sides and seamlessness, the colors of the embroidery threads must be consistent and end-to-end. If there is no shortage of one color, is there no shortage of three colors?

"You don't need to monitor those servants." Just when Liu Qianer was puzzled, Luo Yanyi told her, "Qi Surong is not at Qi's house at all."

"What?" Liu Qian'er looked surprised.

Luo Yanyi said angrily: "We were all deceived by her. She left Qi's house at some point and hid elsewhere."

"How did you find out?" Liu Qian'er asked suspiciously.

"I asked someone to arrest a girl from the Qi family and asked it out of her mouth."

"Then did she say where Qi Surong is now?"

"No." Luo Yanyi sullenly said, "I'm afraid no one in the Qi family knows her whereabouts."

Liu Qianer frowned in thought.

Qi Surong was not at home, so where did she go? And how did it disappear without knowing it?

Luo Yanyi looked at Liu Qian'er, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I think your way of dealing with things is too gentle. If you want me to say, it's better to find someone to break her fingers and see how she can embroider."

Liu Qian'er glanced at her lightly: "If you can break her fingers without leaving a trace, I have no objection."

Luo Yanyi smiled and said, "Wait and see. She has no power and power now, isn't it easy to deal with her? But the most important thing at the moment is to find her hiding place and destroy her embroidery. If you let her embroider If it is done, we will only make wedding gowns for others.”

They were the ones who spread the rumors around before, forcing Qi Surong to take the job.

Liu Qian'er pondered: "Even if she hides her deeds, but there is no embroidery thread, how will she embroider?"

"You underestimate Qi Surong." Luo Yanyi was wise for a while, "She has never been a person who is willing to admit defeat. If she really can't do anything, she will not deliberately hide and send people to pretend to be buying around. The appearance of embroidery thread to confuse us."

"What you said is reasonable." Liu Qian'er said coldly, "Then we will find a way to find her!"

Liu Qianer and others began to search for Qi Surong, but they never expected that she would hide in the backyard of Yingshu Pavilion.

The Yingshu Pavilion has a quiet environment. Apart from Xu Chen's students, there are only a few loyal old servants in the pavilion. They were all Xu Chen's domestic servants, and they never listened to things outside the window. Moreover, Qi Surong stayed as Zhuo Fan, and the person who served her was Yuan Xi, and outsiders would not doubt it at all.

Xu Chen is also a person who is not afraid of things. At that time, he agreed to Qi Surong's request without saying a word.

No one would have thought that Qi Surong would hide in the Yingshu Pavilion. Although his younger brother was Xu Chen's student, there were differences between men and women. Liu Qianer and Luo Yanyi did not expect her to be so bold.

The materials that Qi Surong needed were provided by Gu Jinyun. He hadn't stepped out of the door for more than a month, but only devoted himself to embroidery.

She knew better than anyone that there was nothing to lose.

Embroidery is the first thing I wake up to every day. Except for eating, sleeping, bathing, and going to the toilet, I am in a separate courtyard. This was absolutely impossible for Qi Surong before. Not only does this require a great deal of patience and perseverance, but boredom and loneliness must be endured.

Seeing that the embroidery was completed little by little, she felt neither joy nor sorrow in her heart, just like an old monk in meditation, she poured all her mind into the embroidery needle.

During this period, only Yuan Xi was with her, but Yuan Xi was taciturn and spent most of her time reading.

It is rare to enter the Yingshu Pavilion and see such a rich collection of books, how can he not be moved?

Gu Jinyun occasionally comes to deliver materials, and once he arrives, he will sit in Qi Surong's room for a long time, watching her embroidery quietly.

When Qi Surong embroidered, she was calm and focused, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it. He is only sixteen years old, but he is so strong, intelligent and mature.

For her, Gu Jinyun felt that he might not see enough in his life. He really wanted to marry her as soon as possible, incorporate her into his wings, and prevent anyone from hurting her in the slightest.

With constant disputes outside, how much pressure can this little shoulder bear? The only thing Gu Jinyun can do is to help her silently and reduce her burden as much as possible.

On the other hand, Liu Qian'er and others were angry that they could not find Qi Surong's whereabouts. Seeing that the deadline was approaching, they were completely powerless. Qi Surong hid so thoroughly that even Qi's family didn't know her whereabouts, and there was no contact at all during the period.

Liu Qian'er checked all the people related to the Qi family, but there was still no result.

In the capital, who else would spare no effort to help Qi Surong?

In this way, the Qi family may be more difficult to deal with than she imagined, and they still have hidden power.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Liu Qian'er's eyes, and she sneered: "The emperor should be somewhat interested in this."

She contacted a distant relative of the Liu family, and through him, pushed an official to vaguely mention the matter to the emperor, laughing that the daughter of the Qi family was not small, not only good at embroidery, but also cautious and meticulous, so far no one has seen that picture. Embroidered pictures, and even her whereabouts have no way of knowing.

When the emperor heard this, he was naturally suspicious. How could the Qi family's daughter escape the guard's eyes and ears and hide her tracks?

Despite his doubts, he would not embarrass Qi's family while the foreign envoys were still in the capital.

Let's take a look at the skills of this Qi family girl. Can she embroider the embroidery that will satisfy foreign envoys?

A few days later, the agreed time to hand over the embroidery finally arrived.

The foreign envoys were announced to the palace, waiting for Qi Surong to bring the embroidery, and Liu Qianer and others wanted to intercept them halfway, but they didn't know who the **** of the embroidery was and where they would start. Helpless, I can only hope that Qi Surong's embroidery will not meet the requirements of the envoys. Since the best time has been missed, it is futile to obstruct it now.

"Stop, pass." A carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and the palace attendant immediately stopped it.

"Yunrong Xiuzhuang is instructed to **** the embroidery." An attendant beside the carriage replied, "Please inform Sir Feng."

"Wait." The palace attendant immediately went to inform Feng Zhan.

Feng Zhan received a letter from Qi Surong early and asked him to respond outside the palace.

Now that something has arrived, there is not only joy on his face. At the same time, he was also a little nervous, worried that Qi Surong's embroidery would not be favored by foreign envoys.

"Sir, please let the villain follow." The attendant saluted while ordering the embroidery to be carried out.

"You?" Feng Zhan said, "The imperial palace does not allow outsiders to enter at will."

The attendant said: "This is to better display the embroidery, please be accommodating."

To better display embroidery, is there any mystery in it?

Feng Zhan agreed to his request after hesitating for a moment, and took him into the palace with him.

The emperor and foreign envoys were already waiting in the palace, and when they heard the guards' report, they were immediately announced to them.

Feng Zhan was the first to enter the palace, and then two attendants walked in carrying an object covered with white brocade.

Several people saluted the emperor together.

The emperor waved his hand: "No gift, now let me and the envoys open their eyes, what kind of embroidery is this 'Master Yunrong' embroidered?"

"The minister obeys the order." Feng Zhan turned around and gestured to the people behind him.

The two attendants did not lift the embroidery to the center, but placed it on the dark side.

The emperor was quite surprised, but did not question it.

The brocade was lifted, and the embroidery finally revealed its true appearance.

This is a single screen with a height of more than half a person, carved in mahogany, and the shape is simple and exquisite. In the center of the screen is the embroidery that everyone is looking forward to. However, unexpectedly, the pattern of this embroidery is extremely simple.

Its embroidery is so delicate that it can almost be faked, making people want to break the branches.

If such an embroidery picture is placed elsewhere, it can be regarded as a good work, but it is a little less interesting and charming when it is used as a gift to foreign envoys.

Foreign envoys also love this embroidered picture, but it seems that it is not qualified to dedicate it to their queen.

"Look at the other side," said one of the envoys.

"Don't be in a hurry, the envoy, the display has not yet been completed." An attendant said respectfully.

"It hasn't been shown yet?" The envoys looked carefully and seemed to have nothing to see.

The attendant smiled, took a palace lantern from the palace maid on the side, lit it, and walked slowly behind the screen.

With the input of light, the original Hanmei picture gradually changed.

Everyone stared at this incredible scene with bated breath.

The emperor couldn't help but get off the dragon chair and came to the front.

What kind of peculiar embroidery is this...
