An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1285 Embroidery

Yun Shang was reading a book in the hall. She was about to have a rest, when she heard Pei Lan's

voice from outside, "Your Majesty, madam Gui asked if you still want to learn embroidery today?"

Yun Shang paused for a while. She felt that she was afraid of nothing in the world actually. But now

though she had only learned embroidery for two days, she felt uncomfortable upon hearing the words

about embroidery.

However, she thought of the sachet that Luo Qingyan had mentioned countless times. It was now still

far from reality. She sighed and had to make up her mind, "Of course I'll have to learn it."

Outside the door, Pei Lan said with a smile, "Then I'll go and tell madam Gui to come here."

"Okay."

As Pei Lan's footsteps faded away, Hua'er lifted the bead curtain and came in, "I've prepared

something for your majesty to embroider."

"Okay." Yun Shang felt that life was boring these days, so she lazily leaned on the couch and watched

Hua Er take out a needle basket and the embroidery stick.

On the embroidery stick, there was still something that Yun Shang hadn't finished last time. Hua'er

looked up at Yun Shang and asked, "Your majesty, do you want to continue the work that was not

finished last time or just start a new one?"

"Let me have a look first."

Hua'er brought it to Yun Shang as she said. Yun Shang glanced at it and kept silent for a while. Then

she ordered, "Change a new cloth."

She didn't remember what she was going to embroider and where she was last time.

She always felt that her memory was good, but when it came to embroidery, it seemed to be

completely useless.

Hua'er found another piece of cloth and put it on the embroidery stick. She smiled and said, "I've cut

five or six pieces of the same cloth. You can choose whatever you want."

"Five or six pieces of cloth?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and propped herself up excitedly. "Hua'er,

you're so good. Do you think I can finish embroidering the sachet with only five or six pieces of cloth?"

Hearing Yun Shang's question, Hua'er couldn't help coughing. After a while, she said awkwardly, "Not

really."

"Then how many should it be? Don't you think I only need five or six pieces of cloth to finish it? Why do

you only prepare so many? "

Hua'er took a quick look at Yun Shang's expression. Seeing that it looked not bad, she plucked up her

courage and said, "I just think that if your majesty doesn't make any progress after embroidering on five

or six pieces of cloth, you will become impatient, and then give up."

“……”

Yun Shang tutted with a sigh and lay back on the couch again, "Well, you are getting bolder and bolder

now. How dare you tease me like that?"

Judging from Yun Shang's tone, Hua'er knew that Yun Shang was just joking. She couldn't help

laughing, "I'm just telling the truth. If your majesty want to hear my fake compliment, I can do it.

Besides, I don't think you need to learn embroidery at all. Your majesty is extremely intelligent,

endowed with civil and martial virtues. Your majesty are able to not only deal with all kinds of affairs in

the imperial household, but also win in the battlefield. So, what does it matter if you don't know

needlework? Your majesty is the Empress, the mother of the State of Xia. Your majesty should be a

motherly model of the nation. As for the job of embroidery and making shoes, just let us maids do it. "

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and chuckled, "It's indeed a fake compliment."

Hua'er shook her head like a rattle drum, "No. It's really what I mean."

Yun Shang nodded, "All right. I trust you."

"Your Majesty, madam Gui is here."

Both of them were laughing and joking when they heard Pei Lan's report from outside.

"Come in."

Pei Lan lifted the curtain, and madam Gui came in and bowed to Yun Shang.

Yun Shang nodded with a smile, "Have a seat."

Then she stood up from the couch and said, "Madam Gui must teach me today. Look, they have

laughed at me all day long."

Hearing Yun Shang's words, madam Gui also laughed, "I'll try my best."

After saying that, however, she sighed.

Yun Shang was surprised and her eyes widened. She turned to Pei Lan and Hua Er, "Did you hear

that? How could madam Gui sigh? She sighed? What does it mean by sighing? "

All the people in the room burst into laughter.

Yun Shang snorted and sat opposite to madam Gui. She picked up the embroidery stick and pattern,

and then took the needle and thread, "I'm starting to embroider now?"

"Please wait a moment, your majesty. I went back last night and thought about it. I think it's not easy for

you to just look at the pattern. Why not just draw the pattern directly on the cloth so that you can

embroider directly it in the picture?"

Hearing this, Yun Shang thought it made sense and quickly handed the embroidery stick to madam

Gui.

Madam Gui took a charcoal pencil and drew an outline on the cloth. After handing it to Yun Shang, she

took another embroidery stick and said to Yun Shang with a smile, "I'll embroider it. You just need to

follow me and embroider on your own stick.

Well, I believe you have thought about the pattern for a long time last night."

Madam Gui smiled again and began to work on her embroidery stick.

Yun Shang looked at the place where madam put the needle and followed her. Madam Gui looked at Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

the position where Yun Shang had put the needle, nodded, and then put another one.

In this way, over ten needleworks were done, and Yun Shang didn't make any mistakes. She was

overjoyed, "Madam Gui, why didn't you tell me earlier that there was such a simple way? If you had

taught me this on the first day, maybe my sachet had been made. "

The smile in the madam's eyes widened. She looked at Yun Shang and said, "I used this method only

when I taught a child around five years old."

“……”

Yun Shang sighed and felt helpless, 'They all teased me.'

"All right, all right. As long as it works, it doesn't matter if it's a way to teach children."

But after a while, Yun Shang had a new trouble, "Why is my thread knotted? Can you untie it? "

Madam Gui took it over and tried for a while. She shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult to

untie it. Just cut it directly and mend it."

"Will it affect my work? Do I have to start all over again? " Yun Shang asked.

"You don't need to start from the beginning. I'll put the knot on the back later, and you can continue to

embroider. But after it's done, there may be a lot of knots on the back."

Yun Shang thought for a while and decided, "Well, it doesn't matter. Just let it be. Anyway, I am not

making clothes. It doesn't matter because the sachet will not be against the skin. "

Madam Gui said yes, and soon handled it well and gave it to back Yun Shang.

While Yun Shang was concentrating on embroidering the sachet, a voice came from outside, "Your

Majesty..."

It was Liu Wenan's voice,

"Your majesty, Lady Hua Guo and Lady Shen are here with the young master."
