The emperor and foreign envoys were already waiting in the palace, and when they heard the guards' report, they were immediately announced to them.

Feng Zhan was the first to enter the palace, and then two attendants walked in carrying an object covered with white brocade.

Several people saluted the emperor together.

The emperor waved his hand: "No gift, now let me and the envoys open their eyes, what kind of embroidery is this 'Master Yunrong' embroidered?"

"The minister obeys the order." Feng Zhan turned around and gestured to the people behind him.

The two attendants did not lift the embroidery to the center, but placed it on the dark side.

The emperor was quite surprised, but did not question it.

The brocade was lifted, and the embroidery finally revealed its true appearance.

This is a single screen with a height of more than half a person, carved in mahogany, and the shape is simple and exquisite. In the center of the screen is the embroidery that everyone is looking forward to. However, unexpectedly, the pattern of this embroidery is extremely simple.

Its embroidery is so delicate that it can almost be faked, making people want to break the branches.

If such an embroidery picture is placed elsewhere, it can be regarded as a good work, but it is a little less interesting and charming when it is used as a gift to foreign envoys.

Foreign envoys also love this embroidered picture, but it seems that it is not qualified to dedicate it to their queen.

"Look at the other side," said one of the envoys.

"Don't be in a hurry, the envoy, the display has not yet been completed." An attendant said respectfully.

"It hasn't been shown yet?" The envoys looked carefully and seemed to have nothing to see.

The attendant smiled, took a palace lantern from the palace maid on the side, lit it, and walked slowly behind the screen.

With the input of light, the original Hanmei picture gradually changed.

Everyone stared at this incredible scene with bated breath.

The emperor couldn't help but go

dragon

Chair, come to the front.

What kind of peculiar embroidery is this...

☆、Chapter 37 Snow Shadow (2)

What kind of peculiar embroidery is this...

With the reflection of the palace lanterns, a pair of unfolded wings faintly appeared between the cold snow and plum blossoms, and two smart white cranes jumped into view, with their heads raised, feathers fluttering, and graceful gestures.

The coldness of winter snow, the pride of red plums, and the shadow of white cranes form a vivid picture with a long artistic conception.

At this time, the attendant removed the palace lantern, and the embroidered picture returned to its original appearance. Then they turned the screen around, embroidered on this side were two white cranes, standing proudly in the snow, facing the cold wind, spreading their wings. The white snow and the white cranes seem to merge into one. The picture is cold and cold.

However, when the attendant raised the palace lantern again, behind the white crane, the red plum blossoms immediately bloomed, the white snow reflected red, and the faint fragrance lingered in the nose. The amazing moment was unforgettable.

The whole embroidery only uses three tones of red, black and white, but it makes people feel that the picture is full and the layers are clear, reaching the realm of simplicity.

This embroidery seems to use only three colors, but in fact, eighteen colors are used. Embroidery threads of the same color are smudged in different ways, and there will be differences in shades. Qi Surong used this skillfully, using different shades of red, black, and white to create this picture of cold plum and snow.

And she uses the thinnest embroidery thread, usually only 10 stitches of the pattern, she has to sew hundreds more stitches, combined with the shading of the fabric and the composition of the double-sided pattern, to achieve a real seamless, leaving no traces , its superb embroidery can be seen.

Compared with the colorful and complex pattern, the "simple" of this embroidery pattern highlights its difficulty. Embroidering on such a thin silk cloth, using only three colors, makes the picture come alive. In the blank part, there is no trace of embroidery at all, but it can reflect different scenery, which is really incredible.

"Okay, it's really amazing!" the envoy exclaimed, "Your country is really full of talents and extraordinary."

The emperor said modestly: "The envoy is too famous." But he was shocked and inexplicable. He didn't expect the Qi family daughter to have such superb skills. Hi, I want her to embroider one.

"I really want to thank this embroiderer in person, I wonder if I can come to the house for the meeting?" the envoy asked.

The emperor looked at Feng Zhan, who immediately replied: "I'm very sorry, this embroiderer doesn't like seeing guests, and I hope the envoy will forgive me."

The envoy looked rather disappointed, but when he saw this screen, his mood became clear again.

The next day, the emperor's decree to reward the embroidery came down. The embroiderer "Yunrong" was awarded one hundred taels of gold, one plum wreath, one luminous pearl, a golden plaque, and the other "Yunrong" was named as the national embroiderer. The rest of Xiuzhuang also had their own rewards.

The emperor praised it: "The fragrance of plums and peanuts, the fairy trail of crane shadows, the needles are like awns, and the skills are amazing."

Since then, Yunrong Xiuzhuang has become famous in one fell swoop.

The people of Weiguo all know that there is a national embroidery master Yunrong who is unparalleled in the world.

The cold plum snow shadow picture presented to the envoy also became a topic that everyone talked about. It is a pity that the embroidery has been collected by the envoys and has no chance to be seen. Everyone who has seen it praised it. Rumors about this embroidered picture were quickly spread.

The nobles who placed orders with Yunrong Xiuzhuang came one after another, and the orders quickly piled up, and the price of double-sided embroidery continued to soar, with a minimum of thousands of taels. However, Qi Surong's manpower was limited, and he only embroidered one picture in two months.

Yunrong Xiu Zhuang has become the smallest, best business and most prestigious store in the capital, and Qi Surong has no plans to expand the store. On the one hand, the risk is too great, and it is easy to attract jealousy and speculation; on the other hand, the Qi family is weak and does not have enough reliable personnel. The current scale is sufficient.

Qi Surong's biggest bargaining chip is in Gu Jinyun's hands, and he is also the back road reserved for Qi's family.

Qi Surong was in the limelight here, but Liu Qianer and Luo Yanyi were heartbroken. I wanted to use this to smack her, but I didn't want her to save her life from danger, and her reputation spread far and wide. Although very few people know that "Yunrong" is Qi Surong, it is no longer a secret among noble families.
