Chapter 314: Bitter Life
He was wondering why he felt depressed, but when he looked up, something flashed his eyes.
Chu Yang's attention was immediately diverted. He rode his horse to catch up with Xie Jingyu, patted Xie Jingyu on the shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Your brocade robe looks good. It doesn't look like it was made by an embroiderer. Is it comfortable to wear?"
"not bad."
"Who made this for you?" Chu Yang asked.
Xie Jingyu felt strange and glanced at Chu Yang, "Are you so curious?"
Chu Yang nodded repeatedly, "Brother is about to set off. Before leaving, please satisfy your curiosity."
"Sister-in-law."
Chu Yang's eyes twitched, and a bright smile spread across his lips. "Sister-in-law is really virtuous, but is she too worried about you?"
Xie Jingyu was looking at the cloud pattern on his sleeves. Hearing this, he asked, "Are you worried about me?"
Chu Yang said, "That's right. You are such an adult now, and I even gave you a pin on your brocade robe to ward off evil spirits."
He reached out and picked up an embroidery needle from Xie Jingyu's arm.
Zhao Ang, "..."
Prince of Yuzhang, “…”
Young Master Du, who was drinking tea from a water bag, burst into tears when he saw this scene.
When a certain gentleman saw the needle, his eyes twitched uncontrollably.
There was unbridled laughter all around.
Really, if they could help it, they wouldn't laugh.
The Prince of Yuzhang nearly fell off his horse laughing so hard.
It was obvious that the needle had landed on the brocade robe.
A little virtuous, but not much.
Then I thought about the pastries made by Shen Wan that looked good, tasted bad, and were extremely lethal.
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should envy Xie Jingyu or sympathize with him.
A certain man had a pile of black lines falling down from his forehead.
Prince Yuzhang and Zhao Ang couldn't stop laughing. In fact, everyone at the city gate was laughing.
After all, they spoke quite loudly, and because of their distinguished status, everyone pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
Xie Jingyu sent Chu Yang to Shili Pavilion. Before he returned to Jingbei Palace, the story that Chen Wan had made a brocade robe for him and dropped the needle on the robe had spread.
Anyone who heard it would laugh out loud.
Inside the house, Shen Wan was reading a book and eating fruit.
Chun'er ran in, but when she got close, she fell silent again.
Shanhu poured tea for Shen Wan and asked, "Is there something you want to report?"
Chun'er said, "Everyone outside is making fun of the Crown Prince's Consort..."
Shen Wan was a little confused, "What are you making fun of me?"
"The embroidery needle fell on the brocade robe that the Crown Prince's wife made for the Crown Prince."
Shen Wan, “……!!!”
Shen Wan suddenly remembered that she was going to cut the needle and thread yesterday, but Madam Shen and Shen Ling came, so she put down the brocade robe casually.
When she came back, Yinchuan had already folded the brocade robe, and she didn't think about it anymore.
Shen Wan’s cheeks were hot, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to die.
The princess was looking at the account books in the mansion when she heard a burst of laughter outside. Mother Zhao said, "These maids are getting more and more outrageous. They laugh like this."
The princess laughed, "How can we not allow people to laugh?"
Mother Zhao said, "I'm curious about what makes you laugh so happily."
Mother Zhao went out for a while, and when she came back her mouth was still twitching.
The princess asked with a smile, "What are you laughing at?"
Mother Zhao said, "Princess, please don't ask..."
The more she said this, the more curious the princess became. "Go ahead."
Mother Zhao said, "The Crown Prince's Consort made a brocade robe for the Crown Prince..."
The princess asked, "It's ugly?"
"It looks pretty good, but—"
Mother Zhao couldn't continue. Under the princess's gaze, her voice was floating, "I accidentally dropped the embroidery needle on the brocade robe..."
princess,"……"
Cough cough!
The princess said, "The Crown Prince's wife is pregnant and still makes brocade robes for Yu'er. She can't be too picky."
The princess is so talkative that even Shen Wan would be deeply moved if she heard it.
But Mother Zhao only felt sorry for Xie Jingyu and the prince.
After Xie Jingyu sent Chu Yang back home, the prince just came back from the palace. A certain prince looked at his father with an unhappy look.
The prince frowned, "What's that look?"
Xie Jingyu said, "I am truly your biological son, Father."
"It's the same miserable life."
After saying this, Xie Jingyu went straight into the mansion.
The prince was left confused, "Why is his life so miserable?"
Manager Zhou tried to suppress his laughter and told the prince about the embroidery needle falling on the brocade robe.
The prince couldn't laugh.
Because his experience in his youth was even worse than Xie Jingyu's.
The princess had no support from her natal family, and was divorced by the prince and brought back to the palace. The old lady established her authority by asking the princess to make a brocade robe for the prince. But the princess had no idea how to make it. Not only did she make one side of the sleeves bigger than the other, but she also couldn't sew the seams properly.
The prince comforted her, "It's okay, just fix it."
Before the prince took off his brocade robe, the princess brought him needle and thread.
The prince thought it would be the same to wear it to mend his body so that he wouldn't have to take it off, but the princess ended up piercing his flesh with a needle.
Not only did I give him a shot, but half of the organ was still broken inside, so I had to call a doctor to take it out.
The injection from the princess was the most serious injury he suffered that year.
His son did not avoid any of the pitfalls his father had stepped into.
Chen Wan sat on the small couch, looking somewhat hopeless. Although making pastries had already made her notorious, she was good at needlework. She had originally wanted to make a comeback, but in the end, she made her already poor reputation even worse.
I don't know how everyone laughed at her.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Yinchuan said, "The prince is back."
Shen Wan's face flushed red, and she saw Xie Jingyu walk in. Shen Wan felt guilty and didn't dare to look at him, "Um, the needle didn't prick you, did it?"
Xie Jingyu said, "I am already very grateful that you didn't leave the needle inside."
Shen Wan, “…”
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Xie Jingyu looked melancholy, "It's okay, I'm used to it."
Habit……
Shen Wan disagreed with this, "Including the time with the cakes, it's only been two times, how did you get used to it?"
"I'm used to it at my father's and mother's place."
Shen Wan's eyes widened.
In the imperial study.
The emperor is spitting tea.
The emperor frowned when he heard from the palace servants that the wife of the Crown Prince of Jingbei had made a brocade robe for him.
Wan'er is pregnant, but they still ask her to make a brocade robe. Is there no embroiderer in the Prince Jingbei's Mansion?
Before I had time to get angry, I heard that the needle was still on the brocade robe.
The emperor choked on his tea and couldn't stop coughing.
Eunuch An suppressed a laugh and said, "Even if there are needles, the prince won't mind..."
"He dares to dislike it?!"
Even his biological father, the emperor, doesn't have one.
Poor Xie Jingyu was afraid that the news that Shen Wan made a brocade robe for him would reach the ears of Shen Ji and the emperor. As a result, it became known to everyone in just half a day.
What you fear will come true. Xie Jingyu rubbed his eyebrows and said, "If you have time, make two more brocade robes."
Shen Wan looked at him, "How dare you wear the brocade robe I made for you?"
"One for my father-in-law, and one for the emperor."
Shen Wan, “…???”
Shen Wan was a little confused.
Shen Wan could understand doing it for his father, but why do it for the emperor?
Shen Wan said, “One dragon robe is enough for me to embroider for a year.”
"Just ordinary clothes."
