It wasn't until the palace maid brought them to Si Xiufang that they saw An Xili surrounded by a group of noble ladies, looking focused and calm. Her specially dressed up added a dazzling brilliance to her.
The embroidery girls in the Si Embroidery Workshop and the noble ladies around her looked at her with shock and surprise. This was so amazing.
Everyone also began to talk about it: "This girl's embroidery is better than many senior embroiderers in the palace. They even said that she should quit before the difficulties. I think she has made others ashamed."
"Yes, it's really amazing. The embroidery she embroiders is also lifelike, like a spirit. It's really lifelike."
"Just now, Li Ying'er was sarcastically provoking her. It sounded like there was some grudge. Now she was slapped in the face by An Xili. Li Ying'er's face turned green with anger. I heard that Li Ying'er's embroidery work is also quite good, but not as good as An Xili's. one tenth."
Someone else whispered: "Do you really think we are here to embroider the emperor's dragon robe? It is our turn to embroider the dragon robe. I heard that the emperor wants to draft a female..."
"It's not a selection of girls for the emperor. I heard that it's a selection of concubines and concubines for the princes. I don't know which prince we are going to marry?"
"After all, she is a prince. No matter who she marries, her status as a royal daughter-in-law is very noble."
After a while, An Xili suddenly stood up from her seat, took a complete piece of embroidery to the steward, and said, "Mom, please take a look." Her mind had been on the embroidery, and she vaguely heard what everyone was saying. Discussions, like for whom to draft a girl.
The steward looked at it carefully, with a look of surprise in her eyes: "Okay, the embroidery is really good, Miss An is really amazing."
"Then I'll stop here today and go back first." An Xili wanted to leave.
She promised Gong Jin that she would not embroider for too long and would limit it to two hours a day, but today she actually exceeded her time limit.
The steward said in a deep voice: "Time is very tight. Miss An only has so much time to embroider every day. How long will it take to complete the embroidery?"
"Besides, the Emperor has decreed that the work must be completed before the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. The Emperor will blame Miss An for delaying the construction period, and the servants will not be able to keep up with the work." Mammy added.
An Xili didn't know that the emperor was deliberately making things difficult. In less than a month, the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony was coming. King Nan and other princes were also busy with this matter. They heard that disasters had occurred in Jiangnan, so everyone paid great attention to the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. But preparations for the ceremony began at least six months ago.
Naturally, preparations for the emperor's dragon robe had already begun.
Now they are being asked to start from scratch, which is obviously a deliberate attempt to make things difficult.
Then, An Xili also said: "Mommy also knows that embroidery is a delicate job. If you embroider in a hurry, you may not be able to pass the test, and the emperor will also blame you."
The grandma in charge doesn't know that slow work yields fine work, and exquisite embroidery cannot be embroidered in a day or two.
In fact, An Xili's movements are very fast and her embroidery is good. She is much better than other noble ladies. While others can embroider one piece, she can embroider two, and she is better than them all.
but……
The steward continued: "Although this is the truth, the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is also very important. I have troubled all the ladies to work hard to make the dragon robe. With so many people, I believe it can be completed."
Li Ying'er was full of confidence and said: "We will definitely live up to the emperor's orders."
She said to everyone again: "Embroidering the emperor's dragon robe is a great favor. If you finish the embroidery, you might even get a big reward."
"Miss An is really aloof. She usually refuses to accept ordinary embroidery work outside the palace. She makes everyone line up to come to your embroidery workshop for embroidery. Miss An doesn't take it seriously. Now that she is in the palace, she is still so arrogant. A concubine, You really think of yourself as a wealthy lady." Li Ying'er said sarcastically again.
An Xili looked at her and knew that she was the legitimate daughter of Li Shangshu's family and was good at embroidery. However, her mother had rejected the Li family's marriage proposal, so the whole family must have hated her.
An Xili also calmly said: "Could it be that Miss Li once went to my embroidery workshop to ask for embroidery, but I rejected it, so Miss Li had such a misunderstanding?"
"Whoever goes to your embroidery workshop to ask for embroidery, don't put gold on your face." Li Ying'er said.
An Xili said in a deep voice: "Since Miss Li has never gone to my embroidery workshop to ask for embroidery, how do you know that I don't accept ordinary embroidery work, and how do you know that I am arrogant."
"What's wrong with my concubine? Did I eat your Li family's rice?" She didn't give in.
"you……"
Li Ying'er suddenly became speechless, and she glanced at the ladies around her, who all cast mocking glances at her.
She added: "An Xili, why are you pulling? You want to eat our rice, but you are not qualified. Even feeding a dog is better than feeding you. Don't think we don't know that your mother's identity is actually just a The aunt who washes the feet and is carried by the maid."
Immediately, An Xili's eyes turned cold and she said in a deep voice: "Li Ying'er, how did I offend you? I made you make things difficult and attack me everywhere. It's not your turn to discuss who my mother is. Aren't you just a woman? No matter how noble your status is, you may only be able to marry someone as a concubine in the future."
"What did you say? You are my concubine." Li Ying'er became anxious instantly and was about to go forward and beat An Xili.
An Xili had never been afraid of fighting when she was a child. She immediately rolled up her sleeves and wanted to tear Li Ying'er's mouth open and let her insult her mother.
When the grandma in charge saw this, she quickly came over to start a fight: "Oh, stop it..."
At this time, a figure flashed in from outside the palace, instantly grabbed General An Xili's waist and took her away from the battlefield. He couldn't care less because he was afraid that she would be hurt.
An Xili saw the person coming clearly, raised an eyebrow at her, pushed him away, and wanted to go forward and fight Li Ying'er again. Anyway, she caused trouble, and the emperor kicked her out of the palace when he was angry.
Gong Jin didn't expect An Xili to suddenly become so aggressive. She was usually petite and cute, and he was stunned for a moment.
At this time, An Xiyue suddenly appeared and said sarcastically: "I really let this princess watch a big show just now."
When everyone saw Princess Nan and His Highness Prince Nan coming, they all saluted respectfully: "See you, Prince Nan, Princess Nan."
"No courtesy." An Xiyue said solemnly.
She looked at Li Ying'er again and asked: "Miss Li has a grudge against my sister? I happen to be free today and I will give you the final say. How did Li'er offend Miss Li? I will take you to report to the emperor." shape."
Li Ying'er was stunned for a moment and her body was shaking a little. She quickly shook her head and said, "My daughter and Miss An have no grudge."
"Since there is no grudge, Miss Li should be a good daughter of her own. Don't gossip, be careful of your tongue." She said sternly.
"Yes." Li Ying'er didn't dare to make another mistake.
