Chapter 55 Wake Up(2/6)
Everyone knows that there is no need to compete, because Chu Yu will definitely lose.
Gong Shaochen had already put all his expressions into his eyes, and a sarcastic light appeared in his eyes. Then, he looked at Chu Yu with a smile and said silently - If you lose, why should you humiliate yourself again?
Chu Yu looked at him expressionlessly, and did not speak. He kept his face open and whispered to the servant beside him.
Gong Shaochen didn't think so, and turned around and stepped down with a congratulations, and headed to the excited Prince Lian.
Seeing Prince Lian holding Gong Shaochen's hand excitedly, even pointing at the painting without even caring about the image of the prince, laughing loudly, Aunt Jin looked at Chu Yu indifferently with a look of compliment and disgrace, "Are you ready?"
After Chu Yu Chuchu was shocked, his mood was always on the verge of blows, but at this time he calmed down and looked at Aunt Jin with a meaningless smile: "It's ready."
Everyone in the venue also relaxed at this time, and whispered to discuss the situation of Qinxue in the future. Some people were worried that Qinxue's reputation would be damaged and even gloat about Chu Yu's failure. No one paid attention to Chu Yu's actions anymore.
After all, she will definitely lose, right?
The first thing I noticed was Prince Lian’s personal guard.
A personal guard pulled the person beside him with a strange expression and whispered: "Look at the door, why does it seem... it's someone from the palace?"
"Why wouldn't the person from the palace not report..." The other guard was stunned when he heard this, turned his head and was shocked. He heard that there were indeed several palace beauties and eunuchs standing at the gate of Yun Pavilion. The old eunuch who was leading the way was the manner of the eunuch in charge of the palace.
"It's really a man from the palace. Which noble man is this?" The guard was curious and was about to inform Prince Lian. But suddenly he heard a distant sound of the palace gong and drums and music. Suddenly, a group of eunuchs holding various fruits and sweat scarves in the door, but no one sang a promise, and they stood in the door solemnly and respectfully.
The movement at the door was quite loud, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
At this time, a gloomy light flashed at the door. A middle-aged woman wearing a phoenix and peony palace outfit, wearing a blue phoenix ornamental pearl hairpin, and wearing a pearl claw on her head, and a graceful and luxurious appearance. With the help of the palace maid, she walked into the building gracefully. The beautiful woman was dressed in a gorgeous and extraordinary manner, with a trembling golden light, and even more noble and majestic.
Her lips smiled faintly, as if gentle and friendly, but she had a demeanor that shocked everyone, which made the people around her feel involuntarily awe.
"Your Highness, that's..." The guard was shocked and quickly turned to call Prince Lian. Prince Lian had already noticed the movement at the door. When the middle-aged beautiful woman entered the door, she was still waiting for the guard to call her. She had already gotten up and led the people to meet him in a hurry.
Gong Shaochen and others were stunned and naturally followed. As soon as they approached, they heard Prince Lian call out again in surprise: "Mother, why are you here?"
This time, not only Gong Shaochen and others, but also the entire Tingyun Pavilion were shocked. In an instant, everyone stood up and knelt towards the door: "The grass people met the Queen Mother Qiansui, Qiansui, Qiansui!"
Prince Lian was born by Empress Dowager Lian. Seeing the empress dowager looking at him with a majestic smile but with her mother's gentleness, she suddenly remembered that she had been out for a year. He was a person who ignored court affairs and was extremely affectionate. He was immediately excited and guilty. He blushed and bent down and bowed down and bowed down: "The child is unfilial. He has not seen his mother for more than a year. Now he has not been greeted by her. I hope her mother will forgive her for her crime."
But before he could kneel down, he suddenly held his arm by a pair of tender horns stretching out from the side, and a crisp and smiling female voice sounded: "Your Highness, you can't kneel."
"Who dares to be so arrogant in front of the Empress Dowager and I!" Prince Lian was shocked, and then looked at the girl beside him in anger.
The guards beside him all came out from their waists, and they stood up on the girl's slender neck and were about to take her down.
The flashing and cold sword light scared everyone in Qinxue to curse - Huoshui, at this time, I didn't know how to tease the tiger's beard!
Chu Yu's expression remained unchanged and smiled slightly: "Your Highness Prince Lian, aren't you going to take a good look at the embroidered scroll in front of you?"
Prince Lian was stunned when he looked at her, his face calmed down slightly, but he was still cold: "It's you, you girl, you are so brave, you dare to be rude to the Queen Mother... embroidered scrolls?!"
After Prince Lian was halfway through his speech, he suddenly felt the strangeness in Chu Yu's words. His body froze, turned his head and looked at him again. After a while, his eyes widened wider and wider. He looked at the 'empress dowager' in front of him in disbelief, and his voice trembled: "This is...this is..."
"This is the fairy face of the Empress Dowager who was embroidered by the civilian girl in ten days. The civilian girl and others were vulgar and could not think of any good birthday gifts. They had to use this most common portrait to show that the Qinian girl thanked the heavenly family for many years and was in charge of the weaving of Jiangnan. I hope that the Empress Dowager will be free of worries and will be built forever, and will be as blessed as the East Sea and as long as the South Mountain." Chu Yu said in a leisurely manner.
The girl's voice was originally crisp and lively. Such nice and elegant words contained 120,000 sincereness, which made Prince Lian feel extremely touched.
"Okay, okay, I have no worries, I will build my fairy face forever, this is really..."
Prince Lian laughed with his chin-stroking his beard, looking at the tall portrait of the man tightly, and couldn't help but nodding frequently, full of praise: "Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, even I think it's my mother's jade carriage."
Not only is the style of clothes that the queen likes, but also the subtle lines of the skin in the subtle appearance, the charm of light and shadow in the eyes, and even the usual small movements of the queen's fingers are exactly the same. There are shadows behind the skirt on the scroll. The light and shadow change, and more importantly, from different angles, the queen seems to be looking at him.
This embroidered scroll is not only vivid, but is like a mother who has just as she ascended to the position of Empress Dowager, standing in front of her, looking at the young man with majestic and loving eyes.
Prince Lian looked at it, and then his eyes were red inexplicably a little red, his heart was turbulent. After a long time, he sighed: "It's really..."
What is it, he didn't finish speaking, but Prince Lian's expression and expression clearly made everyone know the touch of his heart.
When everyone in Yun Pavilion heard that it was an embroidered scroll, not a real person, was shocked. Then they looked closely and became excited in an instant.
"This imitation embroidery has been found in the embroidery shop, but I never thought that it could be so imitated as if it were a real person to reappear. It was really... amazing." A master of the embroidery shop couldn't help but sigh.
"It is worthy of being the work of an embroiderer in the Qinxue Embroidery School, which is simply amazing." Another weaving owner also applauded.
Mr. Lu was also shocked, and then couldn't help but caress Hu and said, "That's right, this imitation embroidery is just an ordinary embroidery in the embroidery shop. Without the distant artistic conception, it is not precious. But today I saw this pair of embroidery scrolls of embroidery, and I realized that the so-called imitation embroidery in the past was not considered real imitation embroidery at all. This is the best imitation embroidery!"
Mr. Heron has a noble demeanor and will neither slander his opponents nor be stingy with himself. All judgments are based on their own true abilities. This is what convinces everyone.
Everyone in Qinxue couldn't help staring at the show scroll in their hearts, and sighed.
"Just...even if that's the case." The voice of praise from everyone made a gloom flash in Lu Yunqing's eyes. She lowered her eyes and said softly: "No matter how realistic the exquisite picture is, the artistic conception of the painting cannot compete with Master Gong's sea viewing chart."
As soon as these words were expressed, the masters of Qinxue and the experts of embroidery were suffocated. Although they also hoped that Chu Yu and Qinxue could win, Lu Yunqing's words were a fact - the fine brush portraits, which were realistic and similar, but lacked the connotation that resonated with the viewers. The artistic conception could not be compared with Master Gong's viewing chart that looked like a painting that had been full of vicissitudes of life.
Everyone sighed, and the confidence that had risen in an instant disappeared.
Some people couldn't help but say softly: "That girl is clearly an amateur and is messing around."
"That's right, if you don't fight, you might not have to be so embarrassed."
"It's great now. Our Jiangnan Xiuxing's face has been thrown away... and he has caused himself to be humiliated."
Listening to the praise around him turning into unhappy discussions and complaints, Lu Yunqing felt much more happy and looked at Chu Yu with a sneer and sneering bitch, who also wanted to show off, but he didn't know how to weigh the weight.
A thoughtful light flashed in Mr. Hero's old eyes. He raised his hand to Prince Lian and saluted, then raised his voice and said lightly: "Since His Highness the Prince has read the true appearance of two embroidered scrolls in detail, then please let Your Highness make your choice."
Mr. Heron's words instantly calmed down the entire Tingyun Pavilion.
Everyone's eyes were set on where Prince Lian, Chu Yu and Gong Shaochen were.
Prince Lian was stunned and subconsciously looked at the two embroidery scrolls that had already been placed in Taichung. His expression was a little dazed, and then his eyes hesitated between the two embroidery scrolls.
Time passed by minute by minute, and I heard the silence in the Yun Pavilion.
He slowly stepped forward and walked towards the stage, standing in front of the portrait of the queen mother on the left for a moment, with subtle discussions coming from the air, but he finally turned around and stood in front of the viewing chart.
Prince Lian's eyes stayed on the embroidered scroll of the sea viewing chart for a long time. The lovely light in his eyes was like a peerless beauty who saw what he wanted and was unable to get it.
Everyone was holding their breath, waiting for... the seemingly unsuspecting result.
Chu Yu's palm was already sweating, and his body was inexplicably tense. Gong Shaochen seemed to notice her nervousness. He suddenly lowered his head and said in Chu Yu's ear with a smile: "I heard that the little girl was in seclusion for ten days, and I thought there was something amazing about it. Why not sleep with me early..."
But before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a violent sound of breathing around him.
He looked up subconsciously, but he opened his eyes slightly widened and looked at the stage in disbelief. His face was stiff and white, and he was no longer as romantic as he had just been.
"How is this possible!"
Prince Lian suddenly turned around in front of everyone, raised his hand to signal the guards beside him to take down the embroidery scroll of the portrait of the embroidery, and closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I am determined to choose the embroidery scroll of Qinxue as the first ceremony for the embroidery of the embroidery next year!"
Prince Lian spoke in a very heavy tone, but it was sonorous and powerful, as if he had made great determination.
Listening to the boiling in the Yun Pavilion again, everyone could hardly believe their eyes.
"This is……?"
"How is that possible!"
"Why... Your Highness changed his mind?"
The noise of the people on the stage almost overturned the roof. Some were shocked, some were ecstatic, some were furious, some were furious, and all kinds of expressions were said in a different way.
Chu Yu did not have any winner as the king, and looked overjoyed. He just breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The tense string finally let go, with a faint smile on his face, and raised his eyebrows at Gong Shaochen and said, "I'm so sorry, this little trick has won you. I think that with Mr. Gong's ability to plot people, he should be able to understand His Royal Highness's filial piety?"
After seeing Prince Lian on the stage making a decision, Gong Shaochen slowly let out a breath, his eyes lingered on the embroidered scroll of the sea viewing chart. Finally, he smiled helplessly, turned around and looked back and slowly got off the stage.
Gong Shaochen lowered his eyes, his face changed unpredictable, and the eyes of Danfeng were filled with depression. He suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Yu, and saw her looking at him with a look of compliment and disgrace.
Gong Shaochen slowly showed a complicated and cold smile: "Little girl, I really underestimated you, and I really can't behave like a person."
Plot people's hearts...
Who would have thought that Chu Yu, a civilian girl who seems to be ignorant and vulgar, actually had a delicate heart with seven orifices.
Listening to the sensation in Yun Pavilion, almost no one understood why Prince Lian made such a choice.
"Why, His Highness the Prince actually chose Chu Yu?"
"That girl actually... actually won?"
"Is it possible... Could it be that girl knows magic?"
Aunt Jin had already foresaw such a result. Now that the dust has settled, she slowly breathed out, took a sip of the teacup, and smiled at the same puzzled confidants around her.
"Why did Chu Yu win? Because Gong Shaochen counted Prince Lian's heart, while Chu Yu counted deeper than him, but he counted the meaning of the empress dowager."
"First, the Empress Dowager's 60th birthday has never seen anything like a treasure in her life. Since she was tired of the official's convention and adhered to the rules, she gave His Majesty the weaving power to help the Empress Dowager please the Empress Dowager, then the Empress Dowager naturally likes the ingenious things even more."
"Secondly, the queen mother is a woman. No woman likes to see her hair and chicken skin, but she doesn't like to see herself who is too young and only makes her sad. Only when she is honored but still has a look, she is unforgettable to a woman. Therefore, Chu Yu chose to ascend the throne as the emperor with his parents. No one in the harem threatened. The appearance of the young queen mother who had just ascended the throne was still considered a young one to embroider the image."
"Third, Chu Yu asked me to inquire about it. Prince Lian is the youngest son of the empress dowager. He has been spoiled since childhood and is also the one who knows the empress dowager best. He has been traveling through mountains and rivers for more than a year and has never returned to the palace. This highness, who never takes care of government affairs, suddenly took over the empress dowager's birthday and bought birthday gifts during the trip after the empress dowager was ill this year. It must be because he heard about the empress dowager's illness and thought of the mother-son relationship. So even if he wanted to watch the sea chart of the palace family, he would choose the embroidered statue of the empress dowager. This is the mother-son relationship."
This is also why Chu Yu asked her to find the old nanny and eunuchs who came out of the palace and served the noble painters in the palace. Because these eunuchs who could come out of the palace and Rongsheng had all had identities and must remember the appearance of the empress dowager and liked various details.
Coupled with the previous appearance of Chu Yu's carefully arranged scene, the prince's longing for his family is even more inspiring.
"So this scene is not only about the realm of embroidery skills, but also about the realm of human heart." Mr. Heron nodded with a smile, and his eyes fell on the graceful figure of the girl not far away were full of admiration and praise.
"That's right, this girl Chu Yu is really eye-catching." A cold voice suddenly sounded behind everyone.
Everyone turned their heads together and saw the elegant and thin middle-aged woman coming up.
"It turned out to be Mr. Qin. Without his amazing painting skills, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to win this game in Qinxue. Mr. Qinxue's fine brushwork skills have reached a new level, which is a great success." A great scholar in Qinxue immediately stood up and praised with a smile.
Everyone also congratulated: "This time I can win the Gong family in Xiangnan. Our Qin Xuexiu Embroidery Gate will not lose its power, and the teacher will make a great contribution."
To be continued...
