Life in the palace was lackluster, probably because of the example of the Zhao Palace, and the strict management in the Qi Palace.
Under normal circumstances, people from other palaces are not allowed to wander around outside. Otherwise, they will be punished for violating palace rules, ranging from being beaten with a stick to being killed with a stick, and the relevant personnel will be implicated.
Of course, people in the same palace can get together and talk during their free time.
For example, Mu Yunhan and Xiaomi lived in the outer court with Dongyang Marquis. The palace attendants here were carefully selected. They would often come to talk to them and do needlework together, but they would not mention anything they should not say.
Half a word.
Knowing that every move he makes is in the eyes of others, Mu Yunhan is very careful. He must go over anything he does or say three times in his mind before taking action to make sure everything is absolutely correct.
The sachet she made for the Marquis of Dongyang was half-finished and left there. The embroidery was of green bamboo in the jungle, with the moonlight far away at night, and a pair of crickets under the stone.
She is not very good at needlework, but she is good at outlining lines, and her artistic conception and color matching are outstanding. If she makes it carefully, it is not bad. Dongyang Hou accidentally took a look and fell in love with it.
Ever since he was pushed by Mu Yunhan into the path of "men dress simply and suitably, they look best", he discovered that Emperor Qi liked him, and he became addicted to dressing up elegantly.
He held the unfinished purse and gestured with his newly made bamboo green robe: "It looks great together, why not make it?"
Mu Yunhan felt helpless: "I can't get the desired effect."
Xiaomi laughed at her with a shaved face: "My mother asked you to learn to be a female celebrity, but you didn't go and insisted on wielding a knife and a gun. Now you regret it?"
Mu Yunhan chased her and said, "Tell me? Can you embroider one for me?"
Xiaomi was in tears and said to Marquis Dongyang: "Master, look at her bullying me."
Dongyang Hou liked the feeling of getting along with them very much.
It is not an ordinary master-servant relationship, because Mu Yunhan never calls himself a slave, only a subordinate.
She never showed any fear when seeing him, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and because of this, it was especially pleasing to see her say nice things.
She taught him a lot of things and helped him do a lot of things. Together they advanced and retreated together through life and death. She could be said to be a good teacher and helpful friend, and a friendship between life and death.
After getting along for a long time, there is more of a sense of family affection.
Dongyang Hou opened his arms and pressed down: "Okay, okay, stop making trouble, isn't it just to embroider a purse? If you want to learn, I will find someone to teach you. The safekeeping is one of the best."
This is what Mu Yunhan wants, and he must be given a few more high hats.
Emperor Qi was good at embroidery and was a master in this field.
Although he never touched needlework again after becoming an emperor, it did not prevent him from appreciating and liking it.
When Dongyang Houqiu came to him, he said in an understatement: "How big of a matter it is, just ask the Jinxiu Hall to send an embroiderer over."
The embroidery lady who came was called Aunt Jing. She was about forty years old, which was the golden age of the embroidery master.
He is experienced and patient, physically strong and has good eyesight.
She has a gentle temperament and is very polite to Mu Yunhan and Xiaomi: "Do you two ladies just want to embroider this purse, or do you want to learn it seriously from scratch?"
Mu Yunhan wanted to have a relationship with the people in Jinxiu Hall, so he naturally had to learn from scratch.
So, from then on, Aunt Jing would come over every day to teach them how to perform needlework.
At the beginning, everyone was not familiar with each other, so they were on their own guard, and there was only business to do, so there was not much to say.
Mu Yunhan didn't say anything. The fragrant tea, cakes, and fruits were not the best, but they were all carefully prepared.
