Chapter 135 Feng Panpan makes a fool of herself
"Sister Feng, you should hurry up and embroider. The incense is already half burned." A noble lady urged anxiously.
"Yes, you should hurry up. The village girl has already embroidered two plum blossoms." Another noble lady urged.
"Is what the village girl said true? Why doesn't she dare to embroider?" A noble lady whispered to the people next to her.
"Feng Panpan, you should embroider! Do you know how to embroider?" A noble lady with an upright character spoke up.
Immediately, several noble ladies echoed, "Yes, you really can't embroider."
Feng Panpan gritted her teeth and argued, "Who said I can't embroider? I just changed to an unfamiliar embroidery band and embroidery needle, and I'm a little uncomfortable."
Under the gaze of everyone, Feng Panpan finally pierced the first needle.
In the blink of an eye, a stick of incense had burned out.
Xiao Luzi put the embroidery bands of the two people into the tray and presented it to the queen.
Xia Miaoyuan came to the side of the queen and looked up at the tray.
On an embroidery band, there was a short plum branch with three plum blossoms on it, some in full bloom, some in bud, lifelike, embroidered by Bai Li Ning.
Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but praise: "As expected, she is Ning Qiao Niang, whose name is known all over the border!"
The queen was slightly startled and secretly glanced at her daughter.
Ning Qiao Niang?
"This Baili Ning has loved needlework and studied needlework since she was a child. At the age of fourteen, she was already very good at needlework. "
Later, she began to study textile technology. Because she was the descendant of a criminal, no one was willing to marry her. She was happy to be quiet and devoted all her energy to the research of textile technology. "
After five years of dedicated research, she actually developed a new jacquard machine based on the original jacquard machine. "
The new jacquard machine can not only weave exquisite patterns on the fabric, but also has more types of patterns, and the woven patterns are also smoother and more beautiful. 】
The queen held the embroidery and pretended to admire it, but her heart was already surging with excitement.
Baili Ning, who came from the border, actually had such skills!
【This new jacquard machine has caused quite a stir in the local textile industry. The locals gave Baili Ning a nickname, the textile genius Ning Qiao Niang. 】
【In the border and even in the northwest, as long as Ning Qiao Niang is mentioned, everyone, young and old, women and children will know her. 】
【It's a pity that the local official in their area is not capable. Seeing that it was designed by the descendant of a criminal, he didn't take it seriously. He didn't report it to the court at all. 】
In Daxia, if there are capable people in the local area, or if someone invents something, the local official must report it to the court.
After the emperor personally looks at it, if he thinks it is good, he will reward the inventor and promote the technology to benefit the country and the people.
The queen pursed her lips, this local official is really ignorant.
After Xia Miaoyuan recalled Bailining's invention, she looked at another embroidery.
There was only a plum blossom embroidered on it, and the plum blossom was crooked and the stitches were rough. It was embroidered by Feng Panpan.
[Mom, Feng Panpan's embroidery skills are so good that I'm afraid any ten-year-old girl from the folk can embroider better than her. ]
[The Feng family is so arrogant. They have been secretly raising an embroiderer in the mansion for so many years and creating an embroidery master for Feng Panpan, but her own skills are so unpresentable. 】
The queen saw that her daughter had looked at both embroidery ribbons, so she handed the tray to Xiaoluzi and asked him to display the embroidery ribbons for the ladies to see.
Xiaoluzi called two eunuchs, each holding an embroidery ribbon, and stood in the hall to display them.
Because there were many ladies in the hall, when they were watching the two embroidering on the spot, many people could not squeeze in, so they had not seen their embroidery works.
Now that the queen asked people to display them, they immediately crowded around to watch and talked about them.
"Oh my god, Feng Panpan only embroidered such an ugly thing."
"Her reputation is all fake."
"Ah! She actually deceived us for so many years."
"Last year, she beat me in the Beijing Embroidery Competition. Oh, that gold medal should be mine."
Feng Panpan was already sitting in the corner, her face flushed with embarrassment, her head lowered, completely different from her previous arrogant look.
"Everyone." The queen stood up.
All the noble ladies turned to face the queen, waiting to hear her speak.
"Their embroidery is already in front of us, the result speaks for itself, I will not say more today."
The Queen paused and looked at Bailining: "I forgot to introduce this lady to everyone, her full name is Bailining."
As soon as the Queen said the three words "Baining", the noble ladies instantly showed surprise and looked at Bailining.
The last name is Bailining, is it?
The Queen found everyone's reactions funny and continued, "She is the eldest daughter of the Emperor's uncle, Duke of Wei, Bailifeng, and the eldest cousin of the Emperor."
The noble ladies were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. The noble ladies who had previously helped Feng Panpan and ridiculed Baili Ning as a country girl were even more frightened and trembling. Some
time ago, I did hear that the Baili family who was convicted and exiled was rehabilitated by Xia Zhengqi, and had returned to Beijing and restored the title of Duke.
But I never expected that the country girl in front of me, who was dressed shabby and had old-fashioned makeup, was actually the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion.
"Pu Tong"
"Pu Tong!"
Several noble ladies suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the ground.
"Please forgive me, Your
Majesty. I was ignorant just now and bumped into Miss Baili." "Miss Baili is magnanimous. Please forgive us!"
The Queen ignored them and continued to talk to herself: "This sister-in-law of mine really grew up in the frontier. Now she suddenly returned to the capital, so it is inevitable that she is a little uncomfortable."
"But you should not underestimate her."
"When Baili Ning was in the frontier, she had great needlework skills and even improved the jacquard machine."
"She is the famous textile genius Ning Qiao Niang in the northwest!"
[Oh my God, my mother has shocked me again! She is in the deep palace, but she still knows about Ning Qiao Niang in the northwest. ]
[Mother is so amazing!]
Xia Miaoyuan cast an admiring look at the empress.
The empress's lips curled up slightly, forcing a smile, "Hahaha, little girl, I am just learning on the spot. If I hadn't just listened to your voice, how would I know that Bailining has such a glorious reputation?"
The daughter of the family of the Minister of Personnel, Mr. Tan, suddenly exclaimed: "I've heard of the textile genius Ning Qiaoniang!"
The other girls looked at her one after another.
"My uncle is the Jiangning Textile Factory. He came back to Beijing to visit his relatives some time ago and told us about it. He said that there was a woman named Ning Qiao Niang in the northwest. Although she was a girl, she was quite knowledgeable about textile technology. She developed a new type of jacquard loom."
"When we sisters heard it, we were amazed and felt that a young girl could achieve such a feat. She really surpassed many men."
"My uncle also sighed and said that it would be great if Ning Qiao Niang could be invited here, but he didn't know whose family Ning Qiao Niang was from."
"I didn't expect that this famous Ning Qiao Niang was actually the daughter of a duke."
She said, turned around and bowed deeply to Bailining.
"Tan Xiaoyun is very polite. If there is a chance in the future, I hope Sister Baili can come to the Tan Mansion as a guest."
