The daily life of the concubine of the Prime Minister

Liu Yu also felt that someone was looking at her, but she thought it was just one of those jealous looks from Yuzhentang and didn't pay much attention to it.

Later, Liu Yumei went out and told Madam Yang and the others what she had seen and heard upstairs, as well as her understanding and analysis of each embroidery workshop.

An hour passed quickly, and the palace costume submission competition officially began.

A sharp voice sounded outside the house: "The Imperial Concubine has arrived."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the woman walking in the front, who was dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, with a red gold and glazed phoenix crown on her head, and the most appropriate pearl makeup on her face. She exuded a noble and cold temperament, and it was hard to tell that the imperial concubine in front of them was nearly forty years old.

She walked into the house, supported by a eunuch holding a whisk, followed by the Fifth Prince, whom Liu Yu had never seen in his life. The Fifth Prince had a feminine look and was wearing a moonlit brocade robe. He gave people a sinister feeling rather than the indifferent feeling of a banished immortal.

Standing next to the Fifth Prince is...

Is it Prince Qi, whom she hasn't seen for a long time?

Liu Yu did not expect that Prince Qi would come.

Liu Yu frowned for a long time. When did the Prince of Qi get together with the Fifth Prince? Haven’t they always been at odds?

But she felt relieved in an instant. He had been reborn, and some things could no longer be inferred based on the trajectory of his previous life.

There is nothing unacceptable about Prince Qi hanging out with the Fifth Prince.

The Imperial Concubine seemed to have noticed something and suddenly looked in the direction of Liu Yu.

Even the Fifth Prince followed their gaze.

Liu Yu hurriedly lowered his head and knelt on the ground like everyone else, blending in with all the embroiderers who were welcoming the imperial concubine, so that no one could tell anything was unusual.

Not finding the target, the Imperial Concubine and the Fifth Prince quickly withdrew their sights, but not Prince Qi, whose sight seemed to be fixed on Liu Yu.

This was the first time he saw Liu Yu's appearance so clearly and intuitively.

Even though the woman was lowering her head and he couldn't see clearly, the feeling was exactly the same as the figure imprinted in his soul, which made his heart tremble.

When she stepped into the house and passed by a group of embroiderers, her voice unconsciously lingered in front of Liu Yue for a moment.

This action attracted the attention of the Fifth Prince, and his gaze swept over the embroiderers and the Prince of Qi who were kneeling on the ground.

He asked the King of Qi jokingly:

"Seventh brother, there is another one I like."

Anyone who pays close attention can tell from the word "again" that Prince Qi must have taken a fancy to some women in such occasions.

Liu Yu frowned and clenched her fists tightly. If she had known that the King of Qi would come, she would never show up.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Prince Qi. They have nothing to do with each other in this life, but he just won’t let her go.

Prince Qi finally saw the face he had been longing for. How could he miss it? Then, to everyone's shock, he lifted Liu Yu's chin with the fan in his hand.

Willow-shaped eyebrows, charming eyes that fascinate people, a small nose, bright red lips, and an oval face that is not even as big as his palm.

It was her. He had seen this face in his dreams thousands of times.

When we meet again,

Hope felt like he couldn't even breathe, his hands began to tremble slightly, and after a long while he managed to squeeze out one word: "You..."

Liu Yu gritted his teeth and didn't want to answer.

The fifth prince raised his eyebrows, looked back and forth between Prince Qi and Liu Yushen, and asked the world's number one Fang master who was leading them in.

"Who is this woman?"

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince, this is Manager Liu from the Jade Needle Hall on Panlou North Street."

The fifth prince nodded and said to the King of Qi, "Why is Seventh Brother interested?"

Hearing this, Liu Yu became nervous and started to think about how to refuse.

If it really doesn't work, then she will use Third Master Chen as a shield. I think with Third Master's current status, even the Imperial Concubine or Prince Qi should be wary of him!

Fortunately, there were many people and the Imperial Concubine was very proud and didn't want to lose face. Before the King of Qi could say anything, she coughed and interrupted their conversation: "Can you guys talk after the game? Don't waste my time."

Now that he is cooperating with the Fifth Prince, it is impossible for Prince Qi not to give the Imperial Concubine face. He looked at her deeply.

The look in his eyes was like that of a hungry wolf seeing its prey and wanting to swallow it in one bite.

"Liu Yu, don't think about escaping from me this time. You and I are determined." After leaving these words in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear, Prince Qi let her go, walked to the high seat in the front, and sat next to the imperial concubine.

Liu Yu raised his hand and wiped his chin, feeling as uncomfortable as if his pen was stained with the dirtiest thing in the world.

But things have come to this, and he can only take Yuzhentang to participate in the competition first, and then think about other things.

The competition was not much different from the previous competitions that Liu Yu had known about. The contestants were compared in pairs by drawing lots, and only the winner would be eligible to participate in the next round.

The first round of the game took two hours.

Half of the weaving workshops were eliminated, and the remaining half were compared in pairs in the same way as before, and another half of the weaving workshops were eliminated. Only 30% of the weaving workshops were left, including two in Beijing, one in Jiangsu, one in Hangzhou, and one in Shu...

There are five shops in total, namely Tianxia Diyifang, Yuzhentang, Xuxiufang, Hongxiufang, and Shuxiufang.

In the first two rounds of the competition, the embroidery workshops and previous years selected the palace costumes, and the eunuchs and maids from the palace voted.

This year is different. The five weaving workshops that will provide palace dresses will be decided by the Royal Concubine and the Royal Prince.

The Imperial Concubine gave the title: Make her a palace dress with a spring pattern for her whole life, and the time is three days.

This is something new, as previous years have focused on embroidery, with results given on the spot.

When the title of "Royal Concubine" came out, some people were happy and some were sad.

In fact, each weaving workshop is good at different things.

Just like what the best person in the world is, he is Su embroidery and making clothes,

But for Yuzhentang, what it excels at is double-sided embroidery, not clothes.

So from the very beginning, Liu Yu never expected to win the championship with double-sided embroidery.

She also said the same thing to all the embroiderers in Yuzhen Hall:

"Just do your best." And her goal has been achieved, making all embroidery workshops remember the name of their Yuzhentang.

But she would not let Tianxia Diyifang win so easily, that's right,

Otherwise, the lessons we give them can only be verbal.

The explanation was almost complete. While everyone was still discussing the imperial concubine's size, Liu Yu stood up, mixed in with the crowd, and wanted to leave.

But just as she stepped over the threshold and retreated to the corridor, Liu Yu's wrist was grabbed from behind.

"You want to run again?"
