Chapter 79: Was he also the one who called Lin Qingjun?
Lin Mansion.
Qi said as she held the embroidery needle.
"In the palace? I haven't heard anything happened."
"etc."
"According to the news from my grandmother, it seems that the Crown Prince has been quarreling with the Empress these days."
Originally, the prince would go to the palace to pay his respects to the empress every day, but for some reason he did not go these days. They said that the prince was busy with the problems of the students taking the imperial examinations, so he did not go. However, the news from her grandmother said that the prince and the empress were angry with each other, and reminded them in the Lin family to stay away from the prince.
Thinking of this, Qi couldn't hide the smug look on her face.
This is why her Lin Mansion was able to be promoted so quickly in such a short period of time. They became fourth-rank officials, a height that some people could never reach in their entire lives. This was all thanks to her grandmother. As soon as there was any movement in the palace, her Lin Mansion would know about it the first time.
With such a backing, what else is there to worry about? In a few years, Yingxue will marry a good woman, and her husband will become the Minister of Rites.
When Qi thought of this, her brows couldn't help but furrowed. The Wu'an Marquis Mansion was really not a good marriage. It would be great if it could be abolished.
"By the way, Yingxue, why are you asking this?"
Qi paused again and said in surprise.
"My daughter, do you not want to marry that sickly prince anymore and want to marry the crown prince?"
If that's true, that would be great.
Lin Yingxue's thoughts were exposed, but she couldn't show it too obviously, so she just said.
"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? The marriage with Marquis Wu'an has been decided long ago. If I break off the engagement now, I'm afraid it will be hard on my father."
"I just think it's a little strange that the concubine's daughter from the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion could become the Crown Prince's concubine."
The prince's concubine is such an important position. Even if she wants to sit on it, it should be the position of a legitimate daughter. How can she, a mere concubine's daughter, have the qualifications to do so?
This world is about etiquette and rules. Concubines should have the awareness of being concubines. Don’t they know what their identity is?
Besides, how could she, Lin Yingxue, be inferior to the concubine daughter of the Ningguo Marquis? She had also seen that concubine daughter from a distance. She looked petty and not presentable at all. Her appearance was not even as good as Lin Qingjun's.
When Lin Yingxue thought of this, the resentment in her heart became stronger. At this moment, she hated the concubine's daughter more than she hated Lin Qingjun.
Qi also sighed, "Yes, I don't know what the prince is thinking. He actually fell in love with a concubine's daughter. And I heard that the prince smiled brightly when he saw this concubine's daughter. He was happier than when he saw the Crown Princess."
At the palace banquet, she saw from afar the prince's expression when he saw the concubine. Danggui felt that the prince had extremely poor taste, but she still followed the other ladies and went forward to congratulate him with a smile.
"No more talking about it, it's already a done deal, how can we change it?"
"Tsk, why do I always embroider poorly?"
It was clearly the same fabric, the same silver thread, and even the needlework was the same, but why was it that Madam Liu could embroider it so lifelike, while she couldn't even embroider a single leaf?
In a fit of anger, Qi threw down the embroidery frame.
Lin Yingxue picked up the painting of butterflies and peonies and smiled sinisterly.
"Mother, why are you so angry? She's just a concubine. If you ask her to embroider, she will do it, right?"
"Besides, this is the skill that Auntie used when she was alive. If she didn't have this skill, how could she win the favor of her father?"
"If mother really dislikes it, why not let her embroider another one?"
When Qi heard this, her eyes lit up. She took Lin Yingxue's hand and repeatedly said that she had grown up and would no longer plead for the lowly mother and daughter.
Qi turned around and told Aunt Qi to ask Concubine Liu to embroider it again and replace the blue base cloth with snow-white gauze.
She snorted coldly, "Isn't she skilled in embroidery? If she uses a different piece of fabric, she should be able to embroider it, right?"
Lin Qingjun caused her to lose a hairpin worth twenty taels. Don't think she didn't know it. After she left that day, she went into the water to fish out the hairpin and secretly sold it for as much as twenty-five taels?
She must vent this anger.
It's really a murderous act.
Lin Qingjun never thought that Lin Yingxue would be so vicious as to ask her aunt to change the fabric for the twenty-tael hairpin?
When embroidering with silver thread, the most important step is to use darker-colored fabrics. Bright red, bright purple, or even bright green are all fine, but white is not an option.
The darker the color of the fabric, the more beautiful the items embroidered with silver thread will be. This is called Yingcheng.
The method of reflection is the most common in embroidery techniques. If you want to suddenly produce a certain color, the best way is to reflect it, especially for embroidery threads such as silver thread, which cannot be called a color. It needs something else to reflect it.
Now, Qi and Lin Yingxue have removed the cloth and replaced it with white. Even if the concubine's craftsmanship is very high, it is impossible for her to embroider beautiful embroidery.
Lin Yingxue, ah Lin Yingxue, why is she so vicious?
Besides, the embroidery has already begun, so what does it matter if I stayed up all night embroidering a few days ago?
Xiao Tao was anxious. "Miss, why don't we rescue our aunt? We'll go and ask the master for help. Our aunt has been with him for so long and has given birth to his children. He will definitely help us, right?"
Lin Qingjun smiled coldly, "Do you think my father will help us? If he really cared about my aunt, he wouldn't let her stay in Jianjia Courtyard for so long."
If Lin Zhi really had feelings for his aunt, his aunt would not have died so tragically in the previous life.
"Then, what should we do? We can't let my aunt embroider again, right? My aunt's eyesight is not good, and her hands are not good either. If this goes on, my aunt will really be ruined." Xiao Tao said anxiously again.
Lin Qingjun chuckled. How could she not know that she would be crippled?
But if she goes there rashly now, it might backfire.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingjun clenched her long, pointed nails into her palms again. She really hated this Lin Mansion, this heartless and ungrateful Lin Mansion. If she could, she really wanted to burn everyone here to death. It was really...
But when she opened her eyes again, there was determination in her eyes.
"Xiao Tao, let's go find our good father now."
Xiao Tao was confused, "But Miss, didn't you just say that it was useless to ask the master for help?"
It's useless.
But instead of begging directly, she did another thing.
Lin Yingxue, wasn't she reluctant to part with the twenty-tael hairpin? This time, she was going to make her lose even more.
Lin Qingjun knelt in Lin Zhi's study and asked for a meeting.
Lin Zhi's face darkened and he let her in impatiently.
He pointed at Lin Qingjun and said angrily, "You'd better have something important to do, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Xiao Yuan stepped forward to comfort her, "Teacher, don't be angry. She didn't mean it. Lin Qingjun, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Why don't you get up and apologize to the teacher?"
Lin Qingjun was about to vomit blood. Why was Xiao Yuan everywhere? Was he still haunting her?
And with that tone of his, does he really treat her as his wife and let him boss her around?
Lin Qingjun stood up and sneered at Xiao Yuan, "Young Master Xiao, please just call me Second Miss."
Was it he who called Lin Qingjun?
