During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
"That's not the case." Madam Lu said with a smile, "Second Sister Ye, don't underestimate me. I went to negotiate in person, how could I ask you to redo the work?
"I've already seen that you haven't even started embroidering the clothes you made for the Duan family mother and son, have you?"
"Yes, it hasn't reached that stage yet!" Mrs. Ye nodded.
"Yes, the embroidery pattern may change, but it won't affect the parts you've already done."
"That's no problem at all!" Ye Ersao said happily.
Sister Ye asked curiously, "Madam Lu, what exactly did you tell Madam Duan and Miss Duan? Could you please tell us?"
"Actually, this is very simple." Madam Lu said with a smile, "But I'll keep it a secret for now. We'll talk about it after Qingtian is brought back.
"Let's continue with the story of making clothes for the Queen."
"Yes, this is an important matter." Mrs. Ye said quickly.
She is now both excited and nervous.
I was excited because I actually got this business from the Queen.
The anxiety comes from worrying about what to do if others ask for too much and you can't do it well.
At that time, not only will I lose face myself, but I will also bring shame to Madam Lu.
"Actually, the Queen doesn't have too many requirements for the style of clothes, just make them according to your own ideas.
"But she hopes that the embroidery can reflect the characteristics of their palace. This is where detailed communication is needed."
"Okay, I understand." After hearing this, Mrs. Ye felt a little relieved.
In this way, it’s just embroidering a new pattern, which shouldn’t be difficult.
"So I'll take you and Qingtian there this afternoon to discuss the embroidery pattern."
"Go? Where to?" Mrs. Ye was stunned when she heard that.
Her expression was stunned, but she was already screaming wildly in her heart.
No!
Don't go to see the Queen!
Finally, I heard Lady Lu say, "Of course I'm going to see the Queen.
"We are so close, we can't afford to delay.
"We must research the embroidery pattern as soon as possible."
"I, I mean, do I still need to go for this?" Ye Ersao started to panic.
Isn't it better to just give me the pattern and let me embroider it?
Madam Lu said as a matter of course: "Of course we have to discuss it face to face.
“In fact, the Queen doesn’t even know what patterns to embroider on her clothes now.
"She will probably show you some traditional patterns from her own kingdom, so you can choose according to the clothing situation.
"It's okay, Queen Beatrice is a very good-tempered person and very easy to talk to.
"Besides, Qingtian and I are here with you, so don't be afraid."
Having said that, how could Ye Ersao not be afraid?
After all, he is the ruler of a country!
The highest-ranking official she had ever seen in her life was the county magistrate.
Now she is suddenly asked to meet the Queen. If she behaves inappropriately or says something wrong, will she be dragged out and beheaded?
The more Ye Ersao thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her body began to tremble unconsciously.
"What's wrong?" Madam Lu was startled, thinking she was too excited and had some kind of illness. "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want to lie down first..."
Mrs. Ye grabbed Madam Lu's hand and said, "Madam Lu, can I not go?
"A country bumpkin like me is not presentable enough to meet the Queen.
"What if I say something wrong? I have three children at home..."
Madam Lu thought for a while before she figured out what Mrs. Ye was worried about.
"Oh, what are you thinking about?" Madam Lu laughed so hard, "Not to mention that Queen Beatrice is not the kind of person who would just drag someone out and behead them.
"Besides, even if she is the queen, she is now in the territory of our Great Qi.
"If she wants to kill someone, she should ask whether the laws of our Great Qi allow it!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Ye finally stopped shaking, but her face turned red.
"Madam Lu, please don't laugh at me. I'm timid and haven't seen much of the world..."
"What's the big deal? There's a first time for everything. Just because I did it before you, does that mean I have the right to laugh at you?
“No one is born knowing everything, we all learn slowly!
“When I was young, I rushed to the West on a whim.
"Forget about the world, I can't even understand what people are saying!
"And if you say that, I don't even know how to do needlework, let alone embroidery. Wouldn't that make you laugh at me?"
Mrs. Ye used to feel inferior because of her lack of success, but after hearing what Madam Lu said, she suddenly became enlightened.
Isn’t that exactly the truth?
After hearing it, it seemed very simple, but if no one pointed it out, it would be an angle that she might never have thought of in her life.
"Madam Lu, what you said is so good.
"People like you who are literate and educated say things differently. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense."
“Since the Queen has chosen you, she must recognize your craftsmanship.
"You don't have to think too much. Just do what you are good at. You don't have to obey her just because she is the queen.
"Agree with what should be agreed upon and oppose what should be opposed. We can't just let her do whatever she wants.
"Otherwise, if the clothes you make don't look good, it will ruin your own reputation."
It was the first time that Ye Ersao heard someone tell her not to obey the ruler of a country. Even though she could understand Madam Lu's opinion, it did not prevent her from being shocked.
