The three of them chatted for a while more before going to bed. The next morning, Qingcheng went to Ji Minmin's room and saw her sitting in front of the dressing table. She seemed to be in a good mood, so she said,""It seems that you have recovered seventy to eighty percent.”
Ji Minmin was very happy to see her enter."Sister is really a miracle doctor. I already feel much better! It's not swollen or itchy anymore."
"Just remove it." Qingcheng looked at her face." I'll apply it again today, and it'll be healed tomorrow."”
"Sister is not only kind-hearted, but also very skillful.”
"Don't praise me like that. I'll be floating like a fairy.”
"Hehe, you're such a joker!" Ji Minmin laughed.”
Qingcheng helped her apply the medicine and told her everything that happened yesterday in detail. At the end, she said,""Today, you want to learn needlework. You're a daughter of a noble family, so it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?”
"There was indeed an embroidery lady who taught me, but my embroidery skills are average. I'm afraid I'll fall behind others. What's the use of cramming at the last minute?”
Ah Ji said,"In order to practice embroidery, Miss has suffered a lot of needles. When she first started practicing, there were several needle holes in her hand every day."”
"What about you, sister?" Ji Minmin looked at Qingcheng.”
"Me? It should be half a catty against eight taels."
Qing Feng heard it clearly from the side. This young miss never lied. Ever since she entered the palace, she had no choice but to go against her heart. Miss 'needlework was not exaggerated by her, even the embroidery lady who taught her back then sighed and praised Miss for surpassing her master!
Today, the one teaching needlework in the Chuxiu Palace was Female Official Gong. She had changed into light clothes and looked much gentler. She was not as serious as Female Official Chen. She said to the crowd," As a woman, needlework is a compulsory course. If you want to become the phoenix among the people, you must be more skillful. Here are all kinds of high-quality silk thread and silk handkerchief. Today, I want to see how good your embroidery skills are.”
"Yes."
Embroidered silk handkerchief? Was he thinking too much? Qingcheng looked at the handkerchief that the palace maid handed over.
"This morning, the Sixth Princess has given an order to see the needlework skills of the selected women. Therefore, each of you must embroider a silk handkerchief for the Sixth Princess. The Princess will reward the best one!" Embroidery with spring as the title, need to embroider colorful four words. Three days. Remember, don't use others as your hands. If you are discovered, your entire family will be in trouble!”
"Yes."
"Let's begin." Female Official Gong ordered.
Everyone began to get busy. Some chose silk threads, some drew patterns, and some threaded the needles. They all hoped that their embroidery would be favored by the princess.
Qingcheng naturally didn't hesitate. She placed the handkerchief neatly into the embroidery bandage, then sketched the pattern on the paper, chose the appropriate color of the silk thread, and then threaded the needle. As her slender fingers flew up and down, a beautiful peony gradually took shape. She loved peonies and embroidered peonies the most.
Embroidery was not difficult for her. When she was ten years old, she was able to complete the Hundred Flowers Contest by herself. Last month, she had just embroidered a carp leaping over the dragon gate. At this moment, she was hanging it in the most conspicuous place in Caijin Square to attract customers.
At some point in time, Female Official Gong had arrived behind Qingcheng. Seeing her dexterous hands, she couldn't help but praise,""Although it isn't a finished product, I can already see his foundation. His design is ingenious, and his embroidery technique is skilled.”
"Sir, you flatter me." Qingcheng said. She could feel the jealous and disdainful gazes around her. As soon as the female official left, someone began to speak.
"What's so great about it? So what if she has needlework skills? Her appearance is ordinary, so there's nothing to be afraid of.”Qian Yalan said as she embroidered.
Li Shuhuan also added fuel to the fire and said,"I don't believe that I'm worse than her. I learned embroidery when I was eight."
"So what if the embroidery is good? It has to be something that the princess likes!”Qian Yalan added.
"Qian Yalan, Li Shuhuan, don't talk."”
Peace was restored in the Chuxiu Palace.
After lunch, Female Official Gong personally taught everyone a few new embroidery techniques, and Qingcheng listened very carefully. She understood that there was no end to learning. Very soon, she had mastered 70 - 80% of these embroidery techniques. She suddenly realized that staying in the palace was not completely useless. She had finally learned something today.
When Female Official Gong announced the end of today's lesson, the sun was already setting. He had only finished embroidering one of the peonies, and it would indeed take another two days to complete it. She didn't want to delay for too long to avoid trouble from Qian Yalan and the others. She quickly returned to Changrui Palace and didn't forget to bring the silk thread and handkerchief that Ji Minmin needed.
Before he even reached Changrui Palace, he saw Qingfeng and Mingyue. She walked up and asked,"Qingfeng and Mingyue, what are you doing?"”
"Miss, we have nothing to do in Changrui Palace, so we want to pluck some petals to make a fragrant naan. I've almost picked all the petals." Qingfeng replied.
"You must pick the freshest." "The petals have to be washed and dried before they can be used," Qingcheng said.”
"Miss, do you want me to help you pick some?”
"Alright, let's pick them together."
Ming Yue looked at the sky." No need, Miss. You should go back and rest for a while. We'll be done soon."”
"Alright, I'll go back first." Qingcheng said.
Qingcheng from Changrui Palace entered Changrui Palace and wanted to enter Ji Minmin's room first to pass the things in her hands to her. She didn't expect that someone would beat her to it.
"Qian Yalan, are you here to apologize?”Qingcheng asked.
"Sister, you came at the right time." Ji Minmin hid behind Qingcheng.”
"Minmin, don't be afraid. This is the palace. She won't dare to do anything.”Qingcheng turned to Qian Yalan and said," This is Changrui Palace. It's where Sister Minmin and I are staying temporarily. You're not welcome here." If you are here to apologize, she will accept it. If not, please leave immediately.”
"I didn't expect you to recover so quickly!" "Did Murong Qingcheng find a doctor for you?" asked Qian Yalan. This is not right. This is the palace. Oh, I understand now. You actually went to find a royal doctor privately!”
"We didn't!" Ji Minmin shook her head and looked like she was about to cry.
"If you want to add a crime, you have no excuse." Qingcheng said," Alright. If you want to make a big deal out of this, you're in the wrong. You have to think it through!"”
"You!" Qian Yalan was speechless.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Qingcheng said.
"Hmph, Murong Qingcheng, just you wait!”Qian Yalan left angrily.
"Sister, I'm afraid I'll implicate you again." Ji Minmin looked at her back.”
"It's fine. We'll deal with whatever comes our way.”Qingcheng revealed her calm side.
"Thank goodness Sister is here." Ji Minmin heaved a sigh of relief.”
Qingcheng handed the silk thread and other items to Ah Ji.""This is the embroidery that will be handed in three days later.”She repeated her request.
"Thank you for thinking of me."
"You're being too polite again."
While it was still early, they quickly finished their meal and sat face to face in the candlelight of the hall, each embroidering their own silk handkerchief.
"Sister, your embroidery skills are really exquisite.”Ji Minmin said.
"Where, where." Qingcheng said humbly.
" Of course!" Qing Feng said bluntly." Our young miss 'needlework skills are superb!"”
"Don't listen to Qingfeng, she's doing this for my sake." Qingcheng said.”
Qing Feng pursed his lips and stopped talking.
"Sister, I can see the light of day again tomorrow, right?”"I feel like my skin is smoother than before," Ji Minmin said.”
"Is that considered a blessing in disguise?”Qingcheng said.
"Right, what will the female official teach tomorrow?”Ji Minmin looked up and asked.
"Female Official Gong said that she would choose a female to embroider in the next three days and teach music in three days.”
"Music?" "My zither skills have always been better than my embroidery skills.”
"That's good, we're one step closer to the crown prince consort's throne.”
"Qingfeng, your Miss is really funny." Ah Ji laughed.”
"Haha, the more you spend time with her, the more you'll realize how good she is."”However, the young miss's time in the palace was limited, and she could not fully appreciate her good side.
The next day, before Murong Qingcheng could finish her embroidery, the night of the full moon had arrived. Whether she was willing or not, she had to bear it.
After dinner, Qing Feng tied up Miss's hair and added another set of clothes. Ming Yue poured a basin of water for Miss.
Qingcheng sat at the head of the bed, waiting for the moment to come when she would be deeply engraved in her heart.""Qingfeng and Mingyue, go to sleep first. It's almost time.”She didn't want anyone to be by her side when her illness acted up. Because no one could help her. Only she could overcome that heart-wrenching pain.
"Yes, Miss." Qing Feng didn't want to say anything more, lest he added to the Miss's troubles.
The two sisters walked out of the young miss's room.
For the past few years, Qingcheng had spent every full moon night in pain. She would be fine as long as she got through it. This was what she told herself every time.
When the first wave of pain hit her, Qingcheng only frowned slightly. Her body was shaking from the headache, but she endured it because the real pain hadn't arrived yet.
A moment later, the headache became more and more obvious. Qingcheng's hand involuntarily grabbed onto the edge of the bed to support her body that was about to be in pain. Her head hurt more and more, and her beautiful face began to break out in cold sweat. She bit her lower lip, not letting her voice escape her throat, lest it disturb the wind and moon. She knew that they must be listening to the noise outside the room.
The pain was so intense that it felt like it was going to smash her head into pieces. Her body could not help but tremble. She let her teeth bite her lower lip, leaving deep marks. It was really painful!
Facing the intense pain, Qingcheng suddenly burst into tears. This was the best way to vent. Even though she had practiced martial arts since she was young and had a strong will, she was still a woman.
Qing Feng and Ming Yue were waiting outside the door. How could they sleep when the young miss was in so much pain? They could only blame themselves for not being able to help the young miss. She didn't understand why the heavens would play such a trick on the young miss. She was so kind and beautiful, but she had to suffer the pain that no one else needed to suffer. If possible, they were willing to take the blame.
Unable to hold it in any longer, the two of them came to the young miss's side again. Seeing how she was in so much pain that she was about to collapse, the sisters cried.
"Miss, don't hold it in. Cry it out. You'll feel better.”Qing Feng rested the young lady's head on his body.
"No, this, this is the Imperial Palace.”Qingcheng endured the pain.
"Miss, it's best if you don't speak.”Ming Yue also cried and said," This place is so remote and it's so late. No one will notice. Don't endure the pain."”She wiped away the sweat for the young miss.
The moon slowly moved in the sky. Qingcheng's pain was not over yet, but it was not as intense as before.""Qingfeng, go and get the zither."
" Miss," Qing Feng tried to dissuade her." You're already like this. Can you stop playing?"”
"It's fine. Hurry up and get it." Qingcheng repeated. She wanted to adjust her breath and restore her original qi by playing the piano. She would do this every full moon night. It was just that Qingfeng and Mingyue did not know.
Qing Feng had no choice but to go get it.
