Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 151 The Great Phoenix
The queen went into the room and changed into her regular clothes, and then came out to meet again.

Yuqin saluted again: "This servant is here to thank the empress on behalf of the imperial concubine and myself."

The queen also understood that it was the matter of asking Concubine Xian to kneel that day.The queen nodded and smiled: "It's Concubine Xian who is arrogant and domineering, you and Yun Si don't need to take it to heart. As long as this harem is still here, she won't let her bully you."

Yuqin took out a small brocade box and presented it to the queen with both hands.

Suchun hurriedly stepped forward to take it and presented it to the queen.The queen opened it to look, then raised her eyes slightly: "Oh? Velvet flower?"

But I saw that in the brocade box was a piece of pure silk brushed with silver wire support, and it was a big red phoenix!The bright red phoenix hairpin is vivid, like the roar of a bath of fire, and the sound of jade shakes the universe.

"What a clever craftsmanship!" The queen couldn't help but marvel.

Yuqin blushed: "Back to the master, the slave is the one who saw Wanxi making velvet flowers for the master, so he also wanted to do his best for the master, and made it out with his own hands for the past few days and nights. I don't know. Does the mistress like it?"

The queen shook her head in admiration: "Tsk tsk, look, the girls from the south of the Yangtze River are so skilled that those of us from outside the customs cannot compare."

The queen paused slightly, her gaze resting on the surface of the velvet for a moment, and then slowly said: "Wanxi's craftsmanship is already ingenious, but the velvet flowers she made are beautiful, but when it comes to the craftsmanship of the velvet flowers, it is not the same as the velvet flowers." You are incomparable to Yuqin. After all, you are from the south of the Yangtze River, and you are the most skilled in these silk brocade arts, and there is no other in the palace."

Yuqin just smiled, and hastily saluted again: "Since the slave entered the palace, everything has been taken care of by the master. The slave has nothing to repay, but only this kind of heart. If the master is willing to wear a hairpin occasionally , is the incomparable glory of a slave.”

The queen laughed, and handed the velvet flower and phoenix hairpin to Suchun: "Take it well. On the day of the Eight Banners draft, I will wear a dress and accompany the queen mother and the emperor to select the show girls. Thinking about the lack of a suitable big phoenix hairpin on the crown of the dress that day, but Qiaoer has it now."

Yuqin was overjoyed for a moment, and hurriedly saluted.

At this time, Wanxi had already prepared some pastry and went to the threshold to ask for an audience.

The queen glanced at Suchun.

Suchun was not in a hurry to leave, she held the velvet flower phoenix hairpin and stood beside the queen with a smile, asking in a flurry where it should be put in the box or drawer.
.
The queen called to come in, and Wanxi stepped into the threshold with a smile to salute: "The slave has prepared some pastries for the master and the young master Lu."

The queen laughed: "It's rare that you have a heart."

Wanxi got up and sent the pastry to the queen's kang table, she tilted her head, and her eyes inadvertently slid over the velvet flower phoenix in Suchun's hand.

The queen asked Yuqin with a smile: "I have never used such a big velvet flower before. Yuqin, I don't know how to keep such a big velvet flower properly?"

Yuqin blushed, bowed her head and said, "Aunt Suchun also wrapped it with a tussah silk veil, and wrapped it with a layer of Korean paper to prevent dust and moisture."

Wanxi tilted her head and smiled at Yuqin.

Such a big and delicate velvet flower hairpin, as expected, only sister Lu can make it.She can't do it even if she spends half a year working hard.
.
The queen took a bite of the pastry, and couldn't help but look up at Wanxi: "This taste..."

Wanxi secretly winked at Yuqin, and then replied: "Responding to the master, this is the pine cone newly tributed by the servant at Dashou Ula. The pine nuts were peeled, smashed into pieces, and the bean noodles rolled out."

The queen laughed, and said to Yuqin: "This is Wanxi's gift to you! You have never tasted the pine cone outside the pass."

After tasting one, the queen praised it again and again, and couldn't help telling Wanxi: "Go back and make a new cage, and give it to the emperor to taste."

　The emperor doesn't wear yellow dragon robes every day. Now the Qing palace dramas are all wrong.The dragon robe is actually worn only a few times a year. It is usually a blue uniform; even the embroidery is dark, not as fancy as it is on TV~
