Maybe someone was watching, maybe she was used to doing these tasks, but the embroiderer moved very quickly, and soon a girl with skillful hands pricked a hibiscus flower.
Although there is only one color, it is not monotonous. Under the light, the layers are layered and look indescribably beautiful.
The moment the hibiscus flower emerged, Ji Yunkai's eyes lit up. This flower was much more realistic than the ones she had seen before. The leaves, heart, petals, and branches were all exquisite.
However, the hibiscus flower that looked lifelike and beautiful to Ji Yunkai was a defective product in the eyes of the embroiderer. The embroiderer adjusted it carefully for a long time to make the flower in her hand look more vivid before offering it to Ji Yunkai.
In front of me: "Princess, the craftsmanship of ordinary women is limited, please forgive me."
"Very good." Ji Yunkai took it and took a closer look. He couldn't find anything wrong with it: "Reward."
The embroiderer who was kneeling on the ground breathed a long sigh of relief when she heard this. Seeing Ji Yunkai's gentle words, she couldn't help but boldly said: "Princess, these gauze have a single color. If they can be dyed with gradient colors, this flower tie
It will look better when it comes out. Also...the branches and leaves can also be wrapped with gauze, so that not only can you make flowers, but you can also make pots of flowers."
"Good idea, do you know how to do it?" Ji Yunkai naturally thought about making pots of flowers, but when the silk flowers couldn't be tied out, she didn't dare to think too much.
Now that we have silk flowers, we can naturally do better.
"Young women can give it a try." The embroiderer breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw that Ji Yunkai was not angry.
Sure enough, those sisters were right. The princess is a very good-tempered person. As long as she is capable and sticks to her duties, she will definitely be liked by the princess.
Yes, this bold embroiderer is from the Yanbei Palace. If not, how could an ordinary little embroiderer dare to take the lead?
"If you do a good job, I will be rewarded heavily." Ji Yunkai has never been a stingy person. "The same goes for you. If you do well or have a better idea, you can take it out. I will also be rewarded."
There must be a brave man to win a big reward. After the bold embroiderer, another embroiderer made a bright red peony flower, which is unparalleled in the candlelight, especially the heart of the flower, which is so realistic that people can't help but use it.
Touch it with your hand to determine whether it is true or false.
"Very good." Ji Yunkai praised again, and at the same time generously said: "Reward!"
"Thank you, Princess." The embroiderer looked happy, holding the bright red peonies and smiling blankly.
These two people were regarded as the most outstanding among them, and then there were people who made them one after another. Although they were equally exquisite, they were less stunning than the peonies and hibiscus flowers. Ji Yunkai also rewarded them, but the rewards were smaller.
The success of the twenty-two girls has made everyone understand that silk flowers can be made from these gauze, and they can be more beautiful than real flowers.
"Nuan Dong, let's make arrangements for these twenty-two girls to teach the girls in their houses respectively. We will work hard all night tonight and learn how to make silk flowers. We will do it all day tomorrow. The princess who has done the most and best is
Heavily rewarded, followed by rewards one by one. As for the worst and slowest ones?" Ji Yunkai glanced at the twenty-two girls: "With rewards, there must be punishments. The ten worst and slowest ones will get what they deserve.
Did you hear the punishment?"
"The slaves (civilian girls) heard it." Among the twenty-two girls, there were embroiderers and maids from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They were all startled when they heard Ji Yunkai's words, and no one dared to say anything.
"Don't make trouble. If someone asks you, don't hide your secrets. If everyone does well, you and I, the princess, will also receive a heavy reward." Ji Yunkai knew that people at this time had mastered a craft.
People are held in hand and refuse to let others learn from them, but what she wants is not someone with selfish motives.
"My slave understands." Whether they are embroiderers or maids, they are all at the lowest level. Even if they had a hundred courages, they would not dare to confront Ji Yunkai, not to mention the reward.
Of course, it is not ruled out that there are other spies here, but they will not have the chance to get out, let alone pass the news on.
"Nuan Dong, I'll leave this place to you. I want to see enough silk flowers before noon tomorrow." The silk flowers are easy to deal with, but the fruits needed for the palace banquet are difficult to deal with.
Ji Yunkai thought about it all afternoon, but couldn't think of anything that could replace melons and fruits.
"Don't worry, Princess Xie, I will definitely keep a close eye on you." Nuan Dong knew the importance of this matter and responded quickly.
"I can rest assured that you will do the work." Not only Nuan Dong, Ji Yunkai also left the three servants behind and asked them to assist Nuan Dong.
After explaining everything, Ji Yunkai left with his guards.
It was already midnight, and apart from the suffocating blackness between the sky and the earth, there was only a bone-piercing cold. Even sitting in the carriage, even if there were enough braziers in the carriage, Ji Yunkai still felt cold.
The coldness of the bones.
"Xiao Jiu'an, are you really not coming back?" Ji Yunkai tightened his cloak tightly, leaned on the carriage, and opened his crimson lips lightly.
Only at this time, when there was no one around, could she dare to show her vulnerability.
She was very sure that Xiao Jiuan would definitely come back and would return to the capital after the war was over because she was in the capital.
But now?
She couldn't get any news. The secret guards and personal guards had no news about Xiao Jiu'an. Xiao Shaorong even told her that Xiao Jiu'an was still in Yanbei at this time and that he... had no intention of coming back.
Ji Yunkai closed his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes, touched the carriage lightly with his fingers, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Before the Lantern Festival... it was a bet between the emperor and me, and it was also a bet between me and you.
.If you can't come back before the Lantern Festival and don't have a letter to write to me, then...that's it."
She didn't care whether Xiao Jiu'an came back during the Lantern Festival or after the Lantern Festival, and she didn't care about losing to the emperor. What she cared about was Xiao Jiu'an's care.
How busy was Xiao Jiuan that he only sent her a six-word letter after arriving in Yanbei?
How busy was Xiao Jiuan that he would have someone bring her even a single word of a letter later?
How busy was Xiao Jiuan that he didn't write her a letter after Beichen was defeated and fled? He didn't tell her the situation at this time?
She is the Princess of Yanbei, Xiao Jiuan's wife, and the mistress of Yanbei Palace. In the end, she had to hear the news of Yanbei's victory and Xiao Jiuan's movements from other people's mouths. It's ironic to think about it.
.
She knew that Xiao Jiuan had many things to do after returning to Yanbei, but did he not even have time to write her a letter?
In Xiao Jiu'an's mind, who is Ji Yunkai?
Is it a pet he plays with in his spare time, or is it a prop he uses to confuse the emperor by pretending to be affectionate?
Xiao Jiuan spent a lot of money on her and taught her the Demon Killing Cult. Xiao Jiuan did a lot for her, so much that the whole world knew that Xiao Jiuan cared about her, so much...
Keep her as a hostage in the capital, and even the emperor will not suspect it. (To be continued)
