The second prince, who had been sitting on the side watching the show, could not contain his excitement when he saw this situation, and walked to Wan Mobei's side in a smug manner.
With a pout, he said, “When the game is over, remember to wash yourself clean and climb onto my sister’s bed.
If you perform well at that time, the princess might be so happy that she will reward you with a title.
Otherwise, I will give you to those slaves, hahaha..."
His arrogant look made people want to pick up a knife and chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs.
But from beginning to end, Wan Mobei didn't even raise his eyelids and simply treated him as air.
Zhou Yiyi originally didn't want to step forward again, but he had been waiting for a long time and no one showed up, and the second prince also spoke wildly.
Immediately, he stood up lazily and walked out of the crowd.
"This show is really superb, why not let me give it a try?"
When everyone saw that it was Zhou Yiyi again, they all looked surprised.
If you think that playing mahjong before was just a game, you could win if you were lucky.
But embroidery is not something you can learn just by looking at it once.
Without years of training, you will never be able to achieve this.
The third princess put her hands on her hips, with a look of disdain on her face, "Tsk tsk... why are you everywhere?
This is double-sided embroidery. Do you think you can learn it by just looking at it?
Besides, you are a young lady, why would you learn a man's work for no reason? If you tell others about it, you won't be laughed at."
Although the third princess's words were unpleasant, she did express everyone's thoughts.
Zhou Yiyi curled his lips and blew his bangs, saying in a scoundrelly tone, "Third Princess, this is not right. As long as it's a technique, both men and women can learn it.
It just depends on who can do it more skillfully.
In fact, there are many embroiderers in our country of David who know this technique.
I also learned it for a while before. Although I am not very proficient, I can still do it.
Anyway, we are in a hurry now, and it will take time to find someone else, so I can only choose a general from the cripples, and let me show my ugliness."
When Mei Xiaolangjun saw Zhou Yiyi coming out, his eyes lit up instantly.
After she finished speaking, she pulled out a purse from her waist and held it high, “Look, this is the purse embroidered by Yi Yi.
The needlework is delicate and meticulous, and the images are full of three-dimensionality, much better than the embroidery of Qilin Kingdom."
Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Mei Xiaolangjun again, and they saw that he was holding a purse in his hand.
The purse had a wonderful color combination and was extremely delicately embroidered. It was embroidered with blooming peonies, which were so vivid that you could even smell their fragrance.
Everyone's eyes lit up, except Wan Mobei's, whose expression dimmed.
He had actually seen Zhou Yiyi's embroidery table in her boudoir and knew that Zhou Yiyi could embroider.
But she didn't expect that before she received Zhou Yiyi's embroidery gift, Mei Xiaolangjun was already holding it in his arms.
The jealousy in my heart was boiling again.
Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess now felt somewhat more confident. She walked to Zhou Yiyi and patted her on the shoulder.
"I've heard that you like embroidery, but I didn't expect you to be so good at it."
Zhou Yiyi smiled awkwardly and modestly without explaining.
She had indeed practiced this technique in other small worlds, but she only used it to kill time in the small world of the Female Lord.
Soon, a new embroidery table was brought up.
Zhou Yiyi threaded the needle and started embroidering.
In fact, when she saw the pattern of the Qilin embroidery craftsman just now, she had already designed the pattern she wanted to embroider in her mind.
Her fingers flew, and the auspicious pattern of dragon and phoenix slowly appeared before her eyes.
The needlework techniques and color combinations are bolder and more novel than those of the Qilin Kingdom embroidery.
It’s just that because the pattern she designed was too complicated, it took her a little longer than the embroidery work of the Qilin Kingdom.
When the embroidery was finished, one side showed a dragon and a phoenix, while the other side showed a tiger climbing a mountain.
The tiger's eyes were majestic and intimidating when Zhou Yiyi's embroidered cloth was placed together with the embroidered cloth of the Qilin Kingdom embroiderer.
The tiger's eyes seemed to be staring at the rabbit with substance, and the rabbit seemed to be a little wilted.
Everyone was amazed.
Even the third princess and the second prince were amazed.
After a long while, the Third Princess finally said, "Her embroidery skills are indeed passable, but it takes too long. If our embroiderers were given that much time, the embroidery they produced would definitely be far superior to hers."
Her Majesty the Princess laughed awkwardly, her face showing disapproval, and she directly retorted, "The Third Princess is comparing your country's embroidery skills with our country's Young Marquis Zhou. Comparing a profession to a hobby is inevitably biased.
However, the embroidery skills of Qilin Kingdom are indeed unique and worth learning from.
But this embroidery by Young Marquis Zhou is indeed exquisitely composed and technically superb; it is a rare piece of embroidery."
"Okay, my son, you are right." Her Majesty the Queen walked in from outside.
He also stood in front of the two embroidery pieces to admire them and commented on them one by one.
Then he turned around and said to the Third Princess, "Third Princess, why don't we call this a draw?
You and I each win one game, and the third game is a tie.
Even if the whole competition ends in a draw, we can just treat it as an exchange of experience. What do you think, Third Princess?"
Of course the third princess had nothing to say. After all, Zhou Yiyi's embroidery was indeed slightly better. In reality, they had lost.
According to the original agreement, the Second Prince would be sent to a brothel to be abused, which was something she did not want to see.
Seeing that Her Majesty had given him a way out, he immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Young Prince Zhou's embroidery skills are indeed excellent. I admire them."
"Hahaha……"
With the mediation of Her Majesty the Queen, the game was concluded in peace.
Zhou Yiyi was surrounded by several young ladies like the moon surrounded by stars, and many young men present also cast admiring glances at Zhou Yiyi from time to time.
Wan Mobei just followed Zhou Yiyi dejectedly, neither moving forward nor leaving, like a shadow that could be seen at any time. As long as Zhou Yiyi turned around, his eyes would meet Wan Mobei's.
The news of the competition between the two countries spread like wildfire in the capital.
After this battle, Zhou Yi became famous.
She was already extremely beautiful, and regardless of her wealth and status, she attracted attention. After this competition, young men who liked Zhou Yiyi flocked to her even more.
Although everyone knew that she was already engaged, countless young men still sent matchmakers to the Zhou family to recommend themselves, expressing their willingness to marry Zhou Yiyi, even if it was just to be a maid.
Zhou Nansheng was happy and even secretly proud to see that his daughter was so outstanding and so attractive to the young man.
She didn't care how many husbands Zhou Yiyi married, as long as the position of head husband was left to Wan Mobei.
For this purpose, she specifically asked Zhou Yiyi for her opinion, but she didn't expect Zhou Yiyi to ask her to reject them all on her behalf.
Zhou Nansheng felt lost for a long time because of this. She originally wanted to persuade her daughter, but Zhou Yiyi was firm in his attitude, so Zhou Nansheng did not mention the matter again.
Zhou Yiyi originally thought that the envoy from Qilin Country would be quieter, since they were accompanied by a group of people from the Ministry of Rites.
Unexpectedly, the fire burned on him again.
