Palace Maid Sansan: "If she can compete with Ye Zhangzhi, I will stand on my head and swallow the needle!"
Not only these little palace maids, but also several ministers also thought so.
How powerful can a young lady in a boudoir be if she doesn't touch the beauty of the world?
He was just relying on his status to get something for nothing and ascend to the throne directly.
They all despise such people.
Amid everyone's doubts, Yu Nianchu was not affected at all.
She unhurriedly pulled out the silk thread. Compared with Ye Susu's vigorous movements, every move she made was extremely elegant, and her stitches were also placed beautifully.
An hour was really not a short time. Several department officials originally stood beside the two of them and watched carefully, but they gradually got tired of it.
Embroidery is not very eye-catching until it takes shape.
From Ye Susu's side, they could tell that she was embroidering the election scene, everything was detailed, and the characters were full of characters.
But Yu Nianchu's side is very puzzling. Her appearance does not look like a person or a scene at all.
Several ministers went to the inner hall to drink tea, and the discussion about this competition became more and more intense.
He Sishan covered his face and smiled softly, looking at Ye Sizhi as if to announce good news.
"Ye Si Zhi, it seems that your niece is going to win. After all, she has been in Si Zhi's house for five or six years, so her craftsmanship is certainly not comparable to that of a boudoir lady."
Ye Sizhi couldn't hide the smile on his lips, but before she could say anything, An Sizhi interrupted.
"It's better not to be too happy. She is the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, and her status is not inferior to that of Li Shangshu's daughter."
"If she can't be the controller, I'm afraid our Shang Palace Bureau will still be busy."
Liu Sizhen took a bite of the snack and couldn't help but started to ridicule Ye Sizhi.
"Oh, I think Ye Sizhi should take good care of your niece. I'm afraid that the fate of the master of the East Palace last night will be the fate of your niece."
Ye Sizhi only realized now that according to Zhong Shanggong's methods, it is very likely that he would sacrifice Ye Susu in order to deal with the above.
She clenched her fists, feeling extremely flustered.
At this moment, Zhong Shanggong came in and sat at the top.
"You guys, you have to watch your mouth every day, otherwise you will be careful about the day when trouble comes from your mouth."
"No matter who wins or loses later, you all have to be polite to Miss Yu."
"That's the person His Majesty ordered to take care of. Is that someone you can ridicule?"
The four people responded one after another, "I would like to follow the teachings of Lord Shang Gong."
The few of them drank tea for a while. In order to protect his niece, Ye Sizhi could only warn Zhong Shanggong in advance.
"Lord Shang Gong... I have something to report, which is related to the life and death of the entire Shang Gong Bureau."
Zhong Shanggong frowned and said displeased, "What's the matter?"
Ye Sizhi said in front of everyone, "Don't you think that Miss Yu looks a lot like... Concubine Li?"
After she said this, everyone also reacted.
Zhong Shanggong frowned even more tightly, and she sighed heavily, "No wonder."
"No wonder she looked familiar to me when I saw her yesterday..."
"His Majesty asked us to take care of her. This is the treatment of a queen."
"But if the imperial concubine knows that our minister has such a person, I'm afraid they won't give us good things to eat."
An Sishe also agreed, "Yes, now the imperial concubine is the dominant one in the harem. Although she has not been officially canonized, she is also the default master of the Sixth Palace."
"Whether it's your Majesty or your concubine, we can't afford it!"
Liu Sizhen, who was silent, finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "But if His Majesty wants this Miss Yu to be your empress, why do you have to hide it?"
"It can't be said that His Majesty is afraid of the imperial concubine, right? This is too ridiculous."
The few people discussed it for a long time, but they still didn't understand why His Majesty sent Yu Nianchu here.
But one thing is certain, now that Concubine Li is nearly forty, she will definitely be wary of a woman who looks similar to her but is younger and more beautiful.
Ye Sizhi said tentatively, "How about sending Miss Yu to His Majesty just like arranging for Miss Li to go to the East Palace?"
Zhong Shanggong shook his head, "No. If she can stay with His Majesty, how could Eunuch Kang abandon the near and seek the far away and bring her to us."
"That's all, let's wait until the competition is over."
"The worst case scenario is that we let her stay in Shang Gong Bureau and not meet Concubine Li."
…
An hour passed slowly, and more and more palace maids gathered outside, including some young eunuchs who also came to join in the fun.
Soon, the competition ended, and both works were presented, waiting for Shang Gong and four minister-level adults to come out for evaluation.
Ye Susu hurriedly hurried on. She had been embroidering for so long, and now her hands were shaking.
On the other hand, Yu Nianchu still had a calm expression.
After a while, Shang Gong and the other five came out.
Zhong Shanggong first looked at Ye Susu's embroidery, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"It's not bad, the colors are bold, and the characters are vividly drawn. It's just that I'm in a hurry and some details haven't been processed yet."
Zhong Shang Palace rarely praised others, which also made the little palace ladies who were watching the excitement determined that Ye Susu would win.
The palace maid Sisi said: "Let me tell you, Ye Zhangzhi's embroidery skills are definitely better than that of Miss Yu. Hey, I don't know what she thinks. Isn't it good to be her eldest lady? I have to go to the palace to embarrass myself." .”
The palace maid muttered: "Yes, yes, competing with Ye Zhangzhi on embroidery skills, isn't that Guan Gong using a big knife on his head? He really doesn't know how to live or die."
The palace maid Wan Wan said: "Just now, Ye Zhangzhi was so serious and hard at embroidering, but you look at Miss Yu, it's just like having fun."
"My hands are not shaking, and I am not panting. Do you really think you can win based on your status? It's really obscene!"
Amid everyone's discussion, Zhong Shanggong opened Yu Nianchu's embroidery.
With just one glance, she was surprised by the excellent embroidery in front of her.
Whether it is color matching, stitching, or creativity, she is not only better than Ye Susu, she is even better than Ye Si.
Zhong Shanggong's face was full of disbelief as he tasted it carefully, and Ye Sizhi beside him couldn't help but joke in a low voice.
"Lord Shang Gong, is it so bad? Why don't you even have any comments?"
After saying that, she stepped forward to see how poorly Yu Nianchu's embroidery was done.
But the moment he saw the embroidery, Ye Sizhi's slightly old face was suppressed and turned red.
She has been in charge of the department for ten years, and her embroidery skills are ranked first in the palace.
But now a fledgling girl is actually - far better than herself.
Zhong Shanggong rolled his eyes at her and opened his mouth very solemnly.
"Ms. Yu's embroidery has a bold idea. On the basis of fitting the title, she has achieved the ultimate in stitching and color matching. It is a well-deserved first place."
Everyone was dissatisfied, and a wave of doubts swept over him instantly.
The palace maid asked early: "Ah? How could Ye Zhangzhi lose? Is background really more important than ability?"
The palace maid Chichi said: "It's so unfair. Master Ye worked in the department for five or six years before becoming the master. Why should he be the master just because of his status?"
