I saw that the embroidery on the scroll was actually sewn together with the scroll using silk thread, which could be perfectly integrated without damaging the fragile paper.

Look at the peonies blooming again. The embroidery skills are really superb. The peonies are blooming against the morning glow, and the colors are bright and lifelike.

The Queen Mother loves peonies very much. Even though she didn't care at all, she looked at them intently at this moment and raised her lips with a smile: "It is said that Xi Bin's embroidery work is exquisite. Today I took a look and it is indeed well-deserved."

Jiang Ningyao just wanted to praise the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, there is another mystery to this embroidery."

The Queen Mother became curious upon hearing this: "Tell me and have a listen."

Jiang Ningyao winked at Liu Qing, who turned the scroll over and showed the back to the Queen Mother.

Immediately, only morning glow and sunset glow were seen, and the peonies were still in full bloom, blooming gorgeously against the sunset glow with brilliance.

Jiang Ningyao said: "I wish the Queen Mother that such a peony will bloom forever and never wither."

These words immediately filled the Queen Mother's heart with joy. Jiang Ningyao's flattery was really spot-on, implying that the Queen Mother was like a peony on the embroidery. The morning glow was in full bloom and the sunset glow remained the same. It also hinted that the Queen Mother's power would never decline.

In front of so many people, the Queen Mother was certainly happy to be flattered like this. She smiled and said: "Good! Very good! Come on, bring it to the Ai family to take a good look at it."

Eunuch Cui quickly went down the steps and took the scroll up. The Queen Mother looked at the peonies in the morning glow, and touched the threads and textures of the embroidery. The embroidery skills were really exquisite. The edges of the peony petals were carved with gold thread edges.

, shining golden light against the light, very eye-catching.

Jiang Zuiyao saw that the Queen Mother liked it very much and said with a smile: "Does the Queen Mother like the gift that my sister gave you?"

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "Among the hundreds of flowers, the Ai family likes peonies the most. This embroidery is so exquisite that it can be hung in the Ai family's bedroom."

Jiang Zuiyao smiled and agreed: "This is a double-sided embroidery, you can view it from the front and back. If you find a good view, it will definitely be eye-catching. I also wish the Queen Mother that such peonies will never wither."

Peony is the king of flowers. Jiang Ningyao compared the Queen Mother to peony, which meant that she regarded the Queen Mother as the king of the harem and did not take the Queen seriously at all.

The Queen Mother glanced at the Queen from the corner of her eye. The Queen's face was a bit ugly, which made the Queen Mother even more happy. She thought that although she didn't like Xi Bin, the flattery was just right at this moment, which made her happy.

Jiang Zuiyao immediately took the opportunity and said: "Queen Mother, my sister has such filial piety, you can't live up to it."

The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Yao'er is right, Xi concubine, if you have any wishes, you can tell the Ai family today, and the Ai family will grant it to you."

In this way, everyone in the hall was shocked again.

Thinking about Jiang Zuiyao and Jiang Ningyao being really in the limelight today, the two sisters are making a lot of money!

Jiang Ningyao was overjoyed when she heard this. She knelt down holding her heavy pregnant belly and begged: "I don't dare to ask for a big reward. I just ask the Queen Mother to give a name to the baby in my belly."

This surprised everyone. They thought Jiang Ningyao would take this opportunity to ask for something rare, but they didn't expect it to be such a simple request.

Although the Queen Mother was happy, she was not so happy that she forgot all about it. Her eyes gradually became deeper as Jiang Ningyao's words came to her, and she asked: "The Ai family doesn't know whether you are pregnant with a boy or a girl. How should you name it?"

Jiang Ningyao was well prepared and replied with a smile: "I am now seven months pregnant. Both the imperial doctor and the midwife said that I am pregnant with the prince."

!!

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew what Jiang Ningyao was thinking.

You must know that the emperor only has two sons, the prince and the second prince. If Jiang Ningyao gives birth to a son, he will be the third prince. He is also the emperor's son, so he must be deeply loved by the emperor. If the queen mother gives him a name, then this prince will be the third prince.

This world can be said to be extremely precious.

The Queen Mother's face immediately darkened, and she immediately withdrew her gaze, looking at the embroidery in her hand, but she said nothing.

The main hall was also quiet. Everyone wanted to see if the Queen Mother would follow Jiang Ningyao's wish.

After a moment of silence, the atmosphere was inevitably a bit awkward.

Jiang Zuiyao could see that the Queen Mother did not want to name Jiang Ningyao's unborn child, but she was so happy just now, and said that as long as it was Jiang Ningyao's wish, she would agree to it. As the Queen Mother, she had kept her word, and now she couldn't go back on it.

Already.

Jiang Zuiyao secretly glanced at Qin Nanxian, who was sitting down with His Highness. Qin Nanxian also happened to look at her and nodded firmly, as if to hint her something.

Jiang Zuiyao immediately smiled at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, just follow your sister's wishes. This is not difficult."

Everyone thought that Jiang Zuiyao was speaking for his sisters, but in fact this was not the case.

Jiang Zuiyao turned the embroidery to the back, pointed at the peonies in the painting and said: "Look, Queen Mother, my sister embroidered with so much care, you can't break your promise. Look carefully, there is no second best embroidered peony in Kyoto."

Come here."

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, and she knew that if she was given a name today, when the prince is born tomorrow, the concubine Xi would at least be a concubine, and the mother would have a bright future based on the wealth of her son.

The Queen Mother followed Jiang Zuiyao's hand and looked at the peonies. She originally thought that since she had no way out, she could only force herself to make Xibin happy for once. But suddenly, the more she looked at the peonies in her hand, the more strange she felt.

He lifted up the embroidery and put it in front of his eyes for careful observation. In just a moment, he suddenly became furious: "Xibi, you are so brave!"

The Queen Mother's sudden roar shocked everyone, but Jiang Zuiyao pursed her lips and smiled proudly without being noticed.

Xi Concubine, who didn't know what was going on, was immediately dumbfounded and asked strangely: "I wonder what I did wrong to make the Queen Mother unhappy."

The Queen Mother no longer liked the embroidery pattern in her hand, and even threw it out in disgust, saying angrily: "Don't you know what you are embroidering? How can you ask the Ai family?"

Jiang Ningyao didn't understand what the Queen Mother was talking about. She picked up the embroidery picture that the Queen Mother had thrown on the ground and looked over it carefully, but couldn't see anything.

She embroidered this picture herself, and the peonies on it were lifelike. She was satisfied with it, so how could she go wrong?

At this moment, the Queen Mother roared angrily: "The sunset embroidered on the back is not peonies at all, but peonies! Xibin, what are you thinking about?"

!!

What? Peony?

Peony and peony are so similar that it would have been difficult to detect them unless the Queen Mother loved peonies.

Peony is the king of flowers, and peony is the symbol of flowers. Jiang Ningyao compared the Queen Mother to the flowers on the embroidery. The meaning has completely changed!

What she means is that the Queen Mother was indeed like a peony in the past, blooming with dignity in the morning sun, but now that she is old and faded, she is like a peony among flowers in the setting sun, and is no longer the powerful person she once was.

Jiang Ningyao panicked, completely panicked, and shook her head: "No! That's not the case. The concubine is embroidering peonies, not peonies! The Queen Mother is aware of this!"

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Mingcha? Aijia has loved peonies all his life, is it possible that he is still wrong? You are so concubine, how dare you ask Aijia to fulfill your wish! Do you think Aijia is a fool? You are teasing Aijia like this.
