The emperor didn't ask Ji Yunkai what he wanted to do, Ji Yunkai didn't say anything, and the emperor didn't even ask Ji Yunkai what he wanted to do to challenge the prince.
Ji Yunkai didn't know whether the emperor trusted her or was planning to put the blame on her alone.
But the result is the same whether you ask or not. Everyone in this world is wrong, but the emperor is not wrong, is he?
Rubbing his sore temples, Ji Yunkai quickly left the palace with the palace attendants.
As soon as she left the palace, Nuan Dong was waiting for her outside: "Princess, everything is done. Prince Ping also sent people and things."
"Go to Lanyuan." Ji Yunkai held Nuan Dong's hand and got into the carriage.
The moment he stepped onto the carriage, Ji Yunkai saw a green oilcloth carriage on the other side of the road. It was very inconspicuous, but Ji Yunkai still saw it: "Whose carriage is that?"
"From the Feng family, Mr. Feng Qi is on the carriage." Nuan Dong paused for a step, but still answered truthfully.
As a servant, she didn't have to tell the princess if she didn't ask, but she had to tell if the princess asked.
Sure enough it was him.
Ji Yunkai sighed softly: "Go and tell Mr. Feng Qi that I am fine. I will ask him for help if needed."
At this time, she couldn't bring Feng Qi in. No matter what the Wang family did behind the scenes, this palace banquet was obviously a game between the emperor, the courtiers, and the aristocratic families. If Feng Qi helped her, he would be a traitor to the aristocratic family.
, the aristocratic family cannot tolerate him.
"Yes." Nuan Dong helped Ji Yun drive into the carriage, then ran over and came back soon: "Princess..."
"No need to say anything, let's go." Ji Yunkai didn't want to know what Feng Qi said. What would he do if he knew?
Nuan Dongmo suddenly felt that Mr. Feng Qi was a bit pitiful. Their princess was too ruthless.
However, thinking of Major General Chu who was rejected by the princess, Nuan Dong felt that Young Master Feng Qi should be happy.
Major General Chu said something wrong, and now the princess can't even see him. This is pitiful.
When Ji Yun left the palace, it was completely dark and there was not a single pedestrian on the road. The coachman had no scruples and the carriage ran very fast, arriving at Lanyuan in less than two-quarters of an hour.
Ji Yun got off the carriage and hurried to Lanyuan.
I don’t know whether it’s because of the death outside the door or because the environment itself is not good. Lanyuan looks eerie. Even though it is full of people, it still has a gloomy atmosphere.
Nuan Dong secretly took a breath and trotted to follow Ji Yunkai: "Princess, Prince Ping has sent a hundred maids, and I have found one hundred and twenty embroiderers in the capital. Do you think there are enough?"
"That's enough. Let's place them separately, with ten people to a room. All the things in the house will be moved out, and they will only be given a long table and ten chairs." Ji Yunkai was glad that there were enough houses in Lanyuan and they were empty enough.
"Yes, Princess." Nuan Dong gestured to the servants and asked them to handle the matter.
"Pick out the person with the most skillful hands in each room. I'll help." She couldn't find the flowers, but she could find someone to make fake flowers.
She remembered that there was a time when a sister who was in her dormitory in college was crazy about tying silk flowers.
Not to mention, those silk flowers don’t look very good up close due to the material they are made of, but they look really lifelike from a distance, even more beautiful than real flowers.
Now, she uses the best materials and the most skillful embroiderers. No matter how bad the silk flowers she makes are, they will not be worse than those made by her sister in the same dormitory.
In the warm winter, the waiters were very efficient. Ji Yunkai could only sit there for a quarter of an hour before they arranged all the people and selected the twenty-two girls with the most skillful hands.
When the people arrived, Ji Yunkai didn't say anything, and acted like a princess. It wasn't until the servants took out the gauze and fine copper wire that Ji Yunkai opened his mouth and said: "You girls are all ingenious people. I am the princess."
I have called you all together today, and I hope that all girls can use your skillful hands to turn decay into magic and make these gauze flowers into flowers."
As soon as Ji Yunkai finished speaking, the twenty-two girls looked up in surprise, each of them looking puzzled, but no one dared to speak.
Ji Yunkai knew that he was not in a hurry, and continued: "The silk flowers I want are not the small flowers you usually tie. What I want are real silk flowers that look like flowers. Can you do it?"
On weekdays, embroidery shops also sell silk flowers, which are usually scraps of cloth pinched together. They look like flowers, but they are still different from real flowers, and they cannot look like flowers in full bloom.
The flower hall was quiet, and no one answered. Ji Yunkai glanced at it and said, "No matter what you say today, I will forgive you."
When a bold girl heard this, she timidly said: "Princess, if you want to be like flowers, we...we can't do it." The cloth is soft, how can it bloom like flowers?
"No, you can do it. I believe you can do it." Ji Yunkai didn't know how to tie silk flowers, but he had seen it before and knew some of the principles.
"Have you seen the gauze and thin copper wire on the table? Give it a try, I believe you can do it." Ji Yunkai pointed at the things on the table and said.
"Yes, Princess." The embroiderers knew that they couldn't leave if they didn't do well today.
"Very good, tell me what you are missing, and I will ask someone to find it." Ji Yunkai sat at the top of the table, and he was very impressive. He could really bluff people.
The twenty-two embroidery girls didn't dare to ask, what if they couldn't make it? One by one, they came forward to receive the materials and sat down aside.
The gauze is available in all colors. Not only is it good in texture, but it is also bright in color and is worth a lot at first glance. These embroiderers are from ordinary embroidery workshops and they don’t dare to cut it.
Nuan Dong saw it and reminded: "Girls, don't worry about waste. As long as you can make realistic silk flowers, the princess will understand even if you waste some." The premise is that it must be done.
After hearing this, the twenty-two girls turned slightly pale, but did not dare to ask any more questions. They gritted their teeth and picked up the scissors to cut the color and look they wanted.
"Sister, can you find us some thin beads, thin bamboo branches, slender sticks and various silk threads?" The girl who was alert saw the thin copper wire on the table and guessed that it was used to fix the petals.
But they still need materials to make flower centers and flower branches.
This is the difference between an outsider and an expert. Even if Ji Yunkai has seen it before, these skillful embroiderers know how to start just by seeing the materials.
"Okay, please wait a moment, girl." Nuan Dong glanced at Ji Yunkai and saw that Ji Yunkai had no objection, so he went to make arrangements.
None of these things are difficult, and small quantities can be obtained immediately. In less than half an hour, Warm Winter had someone carry a box of silk threads and two boxes of fine beads.
There are also thin bamboo branches, but not many: "I am still looking for thin bamboo branches, these...the girls will use them first."
"Thank you, girl." The twenty-two embroiderers breathed a long sigh of relief when they saw the materials.
They had just made the petals and green leaves under the instructions of the princess. Seeing the petals that were indistinguishable from real flowers, the embroiderers changed their previous panic and smiled on their faces.
Wrapping it with thin copper wire can not only make the petals stand up, but also make the petals look real.
With gauze like petals, they don't have to worry.
If the gauze didn't come in only one color, they could make it even more exquisite.
It's a pity that I'm in a hurry, so I can only make do with it... (To be continued)
