Chapter 101
Concubine Chen Guifei's green head card was withdrawn by the emperor. When Sun Shurong and Guo Zhaoyi received the news, they were carrying gifts and were about to go to Huayi Palace.
Xi Jiaorong lived in seclusion, and in order to allow her to better raise her baby, the Empress Dowager Heng Le granted her permission not to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects.
Guo Zhaoyi and Sun Shurong haven't seen Xijiaorong for more than half a month. When they saw Xijiaorong today, they felt that Xijiaorong was gentle and quiet, and the temperament around them was quite different from before.
When Xi Jiaorong was not pregnant, she was full of aura, her eyes were sparkling, and she was full of curiosity about everything.
After she was pregnant, she was much more solemn, and her mind was more mature than before.
The gifts brought by the two included cakes and decorations, Xi Jiaorong didn't need to order, the nuns took the initiative to go forward to check the gifts brought by the two of them.
After confirming that it is correct, the ornaments are taken down and sealed, and the food is shared by the maids.
Xi Jiaorong took the host seat, Guo Zhaoyi and Sun Shurong took the guest seats, Agui stood beside Xi Jiaorong, and there were two strong women watching the guests' movements at any time.
Xi Jiaorong and Guo Sun are not close friends, the three of them have no common hobbies when they get along, and the topics they talk about are not speculative.
Sun Shurong looked at the sky outside, and gently shook the fan in her hand.
"The great heat is approaching, and the weather is getting hotter every day."
"The weather is hot, Concubine Xi, you have to take care of yourself." Guo Zhaoyi said a few words on the occasion.
Xijiao responded with a smile: "I'm sorry, both of you."
"Concubine Xi, you rest first, we will go back first."
Concubine Xi felt relieved, her expression of seeing off guests was more relaxed than that of welcoming them.
"Walk slowly, you two. I'll be free in the future..." Don't come here often when you are free in the future. It's too tiring to entertain you.
"Come and sit down later when you have time." Concubine Xi laughed along with her, and ordered Ah Gui to send Sun Guo and Sun Guo out.
As soon as Sun and Guo left, Xi Jiaorong took off her headdress, changed into homely clothes and sat leaning against the screen window to eat grapes.
The grapes that the Empress Dowager Hengle sent were the most suitable for her. Ah Gui fanned her lightly with a fan in her hand.
In the evening, the emperor came to talk with Xi Jiaorong after finishing the government affairs.
During the conversation between the two, Xi Jiaorong talked about the fact that Sun and Guo came to visit her during the day.
Sun Shurong and Guo Zhaoyi changed into new clothes and new makeup, and their excitement was beyond words.
Zhu Beifeng sat upright, and Sun Guo and Sun Guo listened respectfully.
"I want a new set of clothes..." Before Zhu Beifeng finished speaking, Guo Zhaoyi immediately answered: "Your Majesty, my concubine is good at embroidery."
Sun Shurong patted her chest and said, "Your Majesty, this concubine is willing to sew new clothes for the Emperor herself."
Zhu Beifeng nodded in satisfaction, but said: "If that's the case, I'll take care of the two concubines."
Zhu Beifeng wanted to make new clothes, so he just asked the people from Shanggong Bureau to make clothes, but he left the clothes making to Sun and Guo.
Sun Guo and Sun Guo thought that the emperor had ulterior motives, but in fact the emperor just wanted to limit the actions of Sun Guo and Sun Guo by making clothes.
The emperor knew that Sun Guo and Sun Guo were better, so he praised and stomped on the other, and the two of them immediately developed a rift, and the two began to fight each other, and couldn't find another time to harass Xi Jiaorong.
Sun Shurong was very concerned about the errands arranged by the emperor. She invited five skilled embroiderers from Shanggong Bureau to supervise her embroidery.
Guo Zhaoyi and Sun Shurong were in a fight. The other party invited five embroiderers, and she invited ten.
The ten embroiderers are all good at embroidery, and they can be said to be the pillars of the Shanggong Bureau. Concubine Chen's canonization ceremony is about to be held, and she stopped working after only half of her embroidery.
Concubine Chen took her to Shanggong Bureau to look at the new clothes, envoy Ruan Zhang hesitated and couldn't explain why.
"Imperial Concubine, please wait for a few more days. Right now, the embroiderers have work on their hands. When they finish their work, the next official will immediately arrange for people to make new clothes for the empress."
After hearing this, Concubine Chen Guifei's face became very ugly, and she rushed into the embroidery room to have a look, and found that most of the embroidery frames in the embroidery room were empty, only the girl embroiderer bowed her head to embroider.
"Master Ruan, why doesn't the embroiderer in the embroidery room go to work by then?"
Emissary Ruan had no choice but to tell the whole story, Concubine Chen Guifei was furious after hearing this, and planned to teach Sun and Guo a lesson.
Do two little fishes and shrimps need so many embroiderers? It's not an embroidering dowry, I want to see what they are up to.
Sun Shurong sat down in front of the embroidery stand with her head bowed, asking every stitch she embroidered, the embroiderers were so annoyed by the questioning that she almost opened it for her, and shouted, "Stay back, I'll let me do it."
"Master, Chen Guifei is here to visit."
The palace maid came in to announce, and Sun Shurong stepped forward to greet her, "Chen Guifei, what wind brought you here."
Concubine Chen Guifei asked instead, "Sun Shurong, are you full enough to eat? You can't repair a single flower in half a day, and let five embroiderers guard you. Are you ashamed?"
"Embroidery, my concubine is busy embroidering pajamas for the emperor."
Come on, Sun Shurong not only has a bad brain, but also has bad ears and hearing. Concubine Chen Guifei clearly said that Sun Shurong is not ashamed, and Sun Shurong can't be embroidered.
Chen Guifei rolled her eyes and put her hands on her hips, "You embroider slowly by yourself, and the embroiderer will be taken away by me."
Sun Shurong argued with reason, "Imperial concubine, if you want an embroidered lady, you can go to Guo Zhaoyi, there are at least a dozen beautiful girls in Guo Zhaoyi."
Chen Guifei said: "Really?"
"The concubine dare not lie to the imperial concubine or empress."
Concubine Chen Guifei turned around to find VIP Guo Zhaoyi.
Compared with embroidery skills, Guo Zhaoyi's craftsmanship is much better than Sun Shurong's.
Ten embroiderers surrounded Guo Zhaoyi, giving advice to Guo Zhaoyi from time to time. Guo Zhaoyi was good at embroidery, and under the guidance of a famous teacher, her embroidery skills improved by leaps and bounds.
Concubine Chen Guifei came to inquire about the crime, but she was overwhelmed by Guo Zhaoyi's strength.
She took off the armor, touched the embroidery on the embroidery stand, and had an idea in her mind.
"Guo Zhaoyi, since you like embroidery, I'll let you sew the new clothes I wore when I was canonized."
Guo Zhaoyi had 1 reluctances in her heart. She entered the palace to fight for favor and be favored by the emperor, not to do embroidery.
Chen Guifei swept her eyes, "Why, you don't want to?"
"Yes, it's a great honor for my concubine to be able to serve the imperial concubine and empress."
"You work hard, I will not treat you badly."
He didn't pay any compensation, just verbally drew a big cake, and left quickly.
Guo Zhaoyi looked up at the sky, only her wounded world was reached.
The court lady comforted: "Guo Zhaoyi, those who are capable will do more work."
Guo Zhaoyi slandered, "Those who can work too hard will die."
When night fell, many concubines fell into their dreams. Guo Zhaoyi embroidered with candles, one stitch after another never stopped.
In addition to not being favored by the emperor, Guo Zhaoyi has outstanding appearance, figure, and talent. The concubines in the harem are too idle, so they are prone to fights. Zhu Beifeng got inspiration from the incident between Guo and Sun, and he planned to carry out a reform of the harem .
He intends to make full use of the idle crowd and idle resources in the harem, reduce the expenditure of the treasury, and mobilize the enthusiasm of everyone in the harem.
Zhu Beifeng is a wise ruler, and his reforms start with himself.
After listening to Zhu Beifeng's idea, Gu Yinwei felt that it was feasible and was willing to cooperate with him to carry out the reform.
