4. Draw meticulously

Ernine sat on the chariot, feeling excited, and the white and plump cheeks were soaked with fine sweat beads. Just like before the wedding in early winter last year, Zhou Xuan accompanied her back to Mufu Village. The feeling of returning home in glory was particularly strong. She, Su Renzhen, was a small palace maid in Jingxu Palace last year. Now as the wife of the Marquis of Xinzhou, no, as the wife of Xinzhou County, is she full of energy? Yes, but on the surface, you should try to be as humble as possible.

Zhou Xuan, Qin Que, Feng Ajian and two palace maids followed the chariot and came to the gate of Jingxu Palace. The needle strongly asked her to put her down, so Zhou Xuan helped her down the chariot.

The female official Yun Ajian led several eunuchs, and the palace maids were waiting in front of Jingxu Palace. When they saw Zhou Xuan and the other two, they quickly came up and called out, "Marty, ah, can you still recognize me in the sewing needle?"

The sewing needle shouted: "Yun Ajian--" and asked for blessings.

Yun Ajian quickly held up and said, "Sen Needle, no, now you want to call Mrs. Xinzhou Marquis--Okay, okay, still call me. Sewing Needle is much richer. It is really a wealthy appearance that will boost your husband and son. As early as when I was in the palace, I saw that you are different from other palace maids, calm and elegant, and skillful—"

At this time, the eunuchs who had known Ernest and the palace maids all surrounded him and shouted:

"Sister Sewing Needle--"

"Sewing needle girl--"

"Mrs. Zhou——"

"Madam Marquis——"

The sewing needle held Zhou Xuan's arm, his cheeks flushed, and he greeted everyone one by one, responding appropriately and generously. Where is the shy palace maid last year!

Two carriages drove over, and Sanchi and Hou Mansion manager came on the carriage. They brought gifts from two carriages, which were gifts from the sewing needles to Jingxu Palace.

The gift is the most realistic. Jingxu Palace laughs and laughs everywhere, as if it is a festival.

Ernine looked up and saw a white-headed palace maid standing by the palace gate and smiling at her. She quickly walked over and said to Zhou Xuan: "Husband, this is the female master Ying Cai. Nen was taken care of by her in the palace at the beginning, and the female red tailor was also taught by Master Ying."

Zhou Xuan said: "I am Master Ying, and the dresses I designed for the Queen and the princess are all sewn by Master Ying. It's such a good craft."

Ying Cainu gently rubbed the hand holding the sewing needle, her face full of kindness, as if the sewing needle was her daughter, and said, "Mr. Zhou is both good at character and talent, and sewing needles are so lucky. Her belly is so big!"

Ren said to Zhou Xuan: "Husband, can you take Master Ying to our mansion for retirement?"

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, Master Ying has kindness to the needle, so he should repay him and let Master Ying live his life."

Ying Cainu waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, you must not, you must not. She is nearly sixty years old and will only cause trouble for the Marquis and the sewing needle."

Zhou Xuan said: "Master Ying, don't be polite. I will go to the princess now. Master Ying will clean up and follow us later."

A group of cheerful eunuchs and palace maids surrounded Zhou Xuan, Ernin, and Qin Qu walked towards the Yudian Hall.

Princess Qingle had long been standing by the auspicious tank in front of the hall, looking at Zhou Xuan walking with two women in his arms and smiling. She hadn't seen it for almost three months. Zhou Xuan hadn't changed anything except a little tanned, especially her joking expression, as if she had never left her sight, which made Princess Qingle's heart beat faster.

Princess Qingle thought to herself: "That pregnant woman is Su Renjian. She looks so ugly and she smiles so well. Humph! Her other appearance and body are OK, but she can't compare with this princess. It seems that Zhou Xuan is so fond of them. She holds hands in public. Which man in Jinling City will do this?"

When she thought that Prince Xuezhu was about to come, she was about to marry South Han, Princess Qingle was upset and could not stand the happiness of others. Her eyes turned, she smiled and greeted her with a soft voice: "Cousin Xuan, I won't see you in March, and Cousin Xuan is more charming than the past. These two are my cousin's sisters-in-law, and Huzhu is polite."

When Renting saw the princess, she wanted to pull out her hand from Zhou Xuan's arms to kneel down. Zhou Xuan supported her and said, "You are the princess's cousin's wife now. How can you perform this great gift? The princess can't stand it, right?"

Princess Qingle smiled cleverly and said, "Yes, Sister Renzi asked me to take a closer look--Well, I have an impression. I remember Sister Renzi, I was so sorry. If I had known that you would be my cousin, how dare I ask you to be a deacon in the palace? I should have sent someone to serve you well."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Will this break up my marriage with Ernine? How can I marry me if I don't leave the palace?"

Princess Qingle "Girl" smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as cousin Xuan arrives at the center of the capital, I will send my sister-in-law to your mansion."

Renzi felt a little nervous. She stayed in Jingxu Palace for three years, was familiar with the princess' habits, was moody, and was the best at teasing people. Don't look at her smile, maybe she would turn her back on the next moment.

Qin Que was shocked by Princess Qingle's beauty. She had heard from Renting Needle that Princess Qingle Li Huzhu was the number one beauty in the Tang Dynasty. She couldn't imagine how beautiful it was if she didn't look in person. She saw it now. It was so beautiful that it was hard to describe and draw.

Qin Que is tall, but seeing that Princess Qingle is half a head taller than her, almost taller than Zhou Xuan, Qin Que thought to himself: "No, the princess is wearing half-heeled leather shoes, and these leather shoes must be designed by her husband-"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Your Highness the Princess is in good mood today. You are so excited when you are happy."

Princess Qingle sneered in her heart: "Aren't you ridiculing me? What kind of happy event is the snow pig that married the Nanhan? Humph, this time I will ask you to accompany me to Nanhan. Then see how I play with you. If I am not happy, don't think about happiness!" said: "It's the happy event that Cousin Xuan and his two cousin sisters-in-laws arrive. Look at the palace, everyone seems to have found silver - Cousin Xuan, Sister Qin, Sister Renting, please sit in the palace." After that, he walked in front quietly.

Zhou Xuan let go of the two little wives at this time, and Qin Que helped the needle, and the three followed Princess Qingle into the Yudian Hall.

Zhou Xuan saw that Princess Qingle was particularly graceful, with a soft waist and a erect hip, and a very exaggerated twisting. Princess Qingle was wearing a Tang Palace skirt. The low-cut and wide-swinging style was a bit similar to the maternity skirt that was sewn with needles. However, this wide skirt was not only not bloated when worn on the tall and slim Princess Qingle, but it looked even more slim and versatile. After a closer look, it turned out that she was wearing those black mid-heeled leather shoes. No wonder she walked so gracefully!

Zhou Xuan remembered that before returning to Jiangzhou, he gave Princess Qingle two pairs of leather shoes. At that time, he personally put on these black leather shoes with exquisite dark patterns on Princess Qingle. Princess Qingle was quite awkward to wear them. I guess she often wore these shoes to practice walking these days, so now she was knocked on the heels and walked so charmingly.

When he came to the hall to sit down, the palace maid gave tea. Princess Qingle asked Zhou Xuan about returning to Xinzhou to worship his ancestors. Zhou Xuan had just said it to the emperor and the queen, and it was useless to say one thing again and again, so he briefly talked about it at Xie's casino and finally asked the princess to release Ying Cai Nu out of the palace.

Princess Qingle smiled and said, "Does Cousin Xuan fall in love with Ying Cainu's tailoring skills? Now that the sister-in-law of the Sewing Needle has also arrived in Beijing, is the 'Yunshang Women' going to open? In the future, if I want to make a dress, I will look for Cousin Xuan."

Zhou Xuan said: "Yunchang women's clothing was originally expected to open after the needle was delivered, but considering that I would send the princess to Nanhan, I would not come back for three or two months, and the princess couldn't see it at that time, which was a pity. So I planned to open it in July. Is it good that the princess would come to attend the opening ceremony at that time?"

Princess Qingle felt a little happy when she heard Zhou Xuan say this and said, "Okay, I must come. Didn't the mother agree to write a plaque for women's clothes? Did she write it?"

Zhou Xuan said: "Not yet, I will ask my aunt to write a plaque tomorrow."

Princess Qingle said: "Cousin Xuan still owe me four portraits. I must draw them for me quickly. How about letting my mother write a plaque tomorrow and then paint it for me?"

Zhou Xuanxin said, "I really want to draw four paintings, so why don't I do anything else? When I'm lazy, I'll give you a large freehand painting and draw one in one morning. As for human body photos, it's to draw fine brushwork and be naked, no, it's meticulous." He agreed immediately.

Princess Qingle ordered Yuna Jian to chant Ying Cainu and asked Ying Cainu to follow the Marquis of Xinzhou to leave the palace.

The eunuch came to pass on the imperial edict of the Queen of Zhou, and gave a banquet to the Duke of Xinzhou and the two wives in Hua'e Xianghui Tower, allowing the Eastern Palace and Princess Qingle to accompany each other.

Princess Qingle opened her eyes wide and said, "Has Cousin Xuan become a title? Have you been granted the title of Duke of the County?"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty and the Empress are so kind, Zhou Xuan is so worried."

Zhou Xuan, Qin Que, and the Nether of the Sewing Needle were served with Li Yu, the Queen of Zhou, and the Princess. Although they each had a seat, no one else had such a favor except King Jing Li Kun and Princess Jing.

During the meal, Zhou Xuan talked about Qin Que's entry into the Imperial Medical Office. Li Yu smiled and said, "Does Nephew Xuan's salary not have enough? Do you still have to work in the Imperial Medical Office?"

Zhou Xuan said: "When you go back to your Majesty, it has nothing to do with money. Your nephew Qin Que is proficient in medical skills. Using her strengths is not only beneficial to the people, but also she is also happy to do something to avoid feeling empty. It is also like a needle. My nephew supports her in opening the "Yunchang Women's Clothing". This is not to compete with the people for profit, but to do all her best to benefit the country and herself."

Xiao Zhouhou smiled and said, "Nephew Xuan talked and thoughtful, but he always made sense. Jian'er, farmer and business both valued both, was Zhou Xuan's saying, right?"

Li Jian said: "Yes, cousin Xuan said, my sons agree that agriculture is the foundation of a country and must not be abandoned. If you value business, you can build our Tang Kingdom into a big breeding country, encourage merchants to pay patriotic donations, and if the treasury is full, you can enrich the country and strengthen the army. Moreover, for some small countries, you can cut off the breeding industry and force them to surrender when necessary. This is called a soldier that will defeat others without fighting."

Li Yu smiled and said, "This is what Sun Tzu's art of war is not clear about. Could it be Zhou Zi's art of war?"

Li Jian said: "Father, mother, cousin Xuan's wisdom is better than Zhou Lang in Chibi. My son has something to do to his father. The mother said, "This is another great contribution of cousin Xuan. I will report it carefully after the banquet."

Li Jian had quite a lot of Li Kun's eyes and ears in the palace. After lunch, he accompanied Li Yu to Zichen Hall with Zhou Xuan. The young Zhou queen stayed with Qin Que to talk to him.

Li Jian retreated from the eunuchs and palace maids, and used Zhou Xuan's tricks to lure Qingyuan Chen Si'an and the barbarians and the Lei tribes into rebelling one by one.

Li Yu was shocked and laughed: "There are such strange things! Well, if you can take Zhangzhou, you will be considered the first contribution of Nephew Xuan."

Li Jian was overjoyed. His father said this and agreed to his plan to use troops to clear the Yuan. He said: "In less than ten days, Chen Shilang will send 800 miles to send documents to him. He will report the latest situation in Qingyuan. It is estimated that Lan Lianchang should have arrived in Quanzhou long ago. Chen Sianding will send people to investigate Pan and the movements of the two clans of Lei. When Pan and Lei get our information, they will definitely strengthen their defense. In Chen Si'an's view, what is the Pan and Lei surnames not rebellion? They will definitely send troops to fight. Chen Shilang has been through a long battle formation and has led his troops south. With the help of the two clans, there will be no problem to take Zhangzhou."

Li Yuxi said: "The former emperor once wiped out the Min Kingdom, but at that time he thought that the Fujian area was high and far from being easy to govern, so he divided the Fujian Kingdom into two and established the two major protectors of Yong'an and Qingyuan. Unexpectedly, Chen Si'an was unruly and never paid tribute. I was a plan for the people and was unwilling to use weapons. Unexpectedly, Chen Si'an dared to connect with Wu Yue to violate my borders, and he did not think about my usual kindness!"

Zhou Xuan said in his heart: "You emperor is so circumspect. In Chen Si'an's opinion, your kindness is cowardly and incompetent. If he doesn't resist you, who will you resist?" He said: "Your Majesty, no one will hurt the tiger, but how can the tiger harm people's hearts?"

Li Yu nodded and said, "Jian'er has made great contributions to appease Zhennan Army this time and can already share the worries of his father. Jian'er will handle the matter of Qingyuan with full authority. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it with your cousin Xuan. I have been dizzy after thinking a little recently. Before and after the age of 60, I am now in a decay."

Li Jian glanced at Zhou Xuan and admired Zhou Xuan's wisdom and had no choice but to do it. His father was over 60 years old, and his health was naturally worse than that of one year. He immediately comforted his father and took care of his care. He would do his best to do the work in the court.
