The embroiderer's name was Yan Xiaoling. She was the most skilled embroiderer in the area. The contract she signed with the Feng family was not a slave contract, but a short-term job paid on a monthly basis.

The embroiderer often went in and out of the Feng Mansion and was considered a person who had seen big scenes, but the nobleman today was different. Mrs. Feng repeatedly told her to be careful. She had never seen Mrs. Feng so flustered and serious, so she was afraid that she would make a mistake and anger the nobleman.

The noble lady had an extremely beautiful face that made people forget the world, and her face was gentle and peaceful, but the embroiderer felt that her demeanor was even heavier than that of Madam Feng. The silent pressure on people's hearts was frightening.

"Eh." He Yue seemed to be in a good mood, half leaning on the couch, the halo outside the window shining on her cheek, her autumn eyes slightly raised, her voice soothing, "The surname Fan is not common in Tongzhou."

At some point, the maid moved an embroidery cushion behind the embroiderer. The embroiderer sat down hesitantly, with her hands folded on her legs, weighing every word she said, "My husband is indeed not from Tongzhou, but from Qingyang County."

"Qingyang County." He Yue seemed to be thinking about where this place was. "It should be quite far away, right?"

The embroiderer nodded and answered whatever the noble asked, "Yes."

Then the embroiderer discovered that she was being used by the nobleman as a way to pass the time.

The embroiderer talked about the story between her and Fan Yuan naturally. They loved each other and there were no major disturbances after their marriage, but it was plain and warm. The golden hairpin was newly bought for her by Fan Yuan.

She talked for nearly half an hour and was given a cup of tea. For a moment, she seemed like a storyteller who had come here specially.

During this time, there was a sound of a bead curtain. Mrs. Feng came in and saw that He Yue was listening attentively, so she did not disturb him and stood aside.

The embroiderer also stood up instantly. Madam Feng didn't even have an embroidery cushion, so it would be impossible for her to sit there all the time. No matter how noble a lady was, she would only stay for a short time. But Madam Feng had been in Tongzhou all the time!

After about an incense stick of time, the embroiderer finally finished her story and breathed a sigh of relief, "Sir, in fact, the relationship between a common woman and her husband is nothing out of the ordinary."

For some reason, the nobleman was actually interested in listening for half an hour. However, for someone as high up as the nobleman, overlooking their insignificant lives might just be an occasional interest.

"I think it's pretty good." The area of ​​sunlight coming in from the window was too large, so He Yue signaled the maid to close the stained glass window, then turned around and continued to face the embroiderer.

The embroiderer put away the ruler and was about to bow and leave, but unexpectedly He Yue stopped her.

"Thank you for your hard work, but I can't waste so much of your time." He Yue took off the only cloud-water blue jade bracelet on her left hand that she brought from the Duan family, and gently extended her hand to the embroiderer, smiling, "You speak very well, as if you are really watching your wedding. This bracelet is my gift."

The embroiderer took it respectfully. The bracelet looked very valuable. Her hands were shaking and she looked at Madam Feng beside her helplessly.

Madam Feng smiled servilely, "The noble master asked you to accept it, so just accept it. Later you can go to the steward to get another 100 taels of silver, just as a gift."

It’s just a bracelet. How could the people supported by the common lord of the world lack gold, silver and jewelry?

"Yes! Thank you very much, my lord! Thank you, Madam Feng!" The embroiderer was overjoyed and kowtowed twice on her knees before leaving.

She walked around the screen, lifted the beaded curtain, and was about to leave the room when she heard the noble master talking to Madam Feng, "Why did you come in without being informed?"

The tone of voice was neither hurried nor slow, but clear and indifferent. The embroiderer thought that the nobleman was already very gentle to her.

This was obviously the Feng Mansion, and the noble lady seemed to be the master. She didn't dare to listen anymore, and hurriedly stepped out of the room, touching the bracelet in her arms, laughing happily. She still had a hundred taels to ask the steward for!

Madam Feng knelt on the ground and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, I forgot for a moment."

The main reason was that there was no maid guarding outside the door, so she walked in without thinking. She regretted it as soon as she came in, but she couldn't back out.

Madam Feng thought of what Governor Feng had said to her this morning. She actually mistook the real owner for the fake owner. Fortunately, she found out in time and avoided a disaster!

Who would have thought that Empress Yuanmu was still alive?

"Stand up, I didn't ask you to kneel." He Yue said calmly.

Her thoughts were now drawn back to two years ago, to her old friend Fan Yuan, to the wedding that was robbed and extorted, and to a turning point in the future.

He and his wife are now in love, which is good. The embroiderer seems to be a good girl too. Everything is fine.

Madam Feng sat on the embroidery cushion that the embroiderer had used before. "I haven't seen you for two years. You have become more dignified and graceful."

She had always thought that Miss He was very lucky to have made His Majesty, the Crown Prince, fall in love with her. Now it seems that her fate has come true!

…………

In a small house in Tongzhou, the embroiderer excitedly placed a hundred taels of silver and a cloud-blue jade bracelet on the table, and smiled happily at Fan Yuan who was sitting opposite her, "My husband, you are lucky today! A nobleman came to the Feng Mansion, and I went there to measure my size and tailor my clothes. I said some words to cheer myself up, and the nobleman gave me this bracelet, and Madam Feng also rewarded me with a hundred taels of silver!"

"I will pawn this jade bracelet tomorrow and I will get a large sum of money!"

Fan Yuan's handsome face was also smiling, "These are all my wife's private things, just take your pick."

Money is the least valuable thing to those nobles, and random rewards are the norm.

"But my lady, the jade bracelet was given by a nobleman. Can you pawn it at will? And you can wear it if you like." Fan Yuan spread his arms and hugged the embroiderer who sat in his arms.

Compared to Fan Yuan, the embroiderer was too petite. Her feet were dangling in the air. She leaned her head on Fan Yuan's shoulder and said, "I would be terrified to wear such an expensive bracelet. I would always be thinking about what if it breaks. I can't even do my job well. It's better to exchange it for silver. And later I asked Madam Feng, she said that the noble lady would not care about such a small matter."

She patted her chest in fear again, her pretty face showing panic, she held Fan Yuan's hand with her hand, and said in a hollow tone, "My husband, you don't know, the nobleman's casual glance made my heart almost jump out. Madam Feng's husband is the governor, and she is no different from a maid in front of this nobleman, just standing by and not daring to say a word!"

The young couple was in love at the time. Fan Yuan stroked her back and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you stop doing embroidery? After all, I can support the family."

Fan Yuan wanted to let the embroiderer take a break more than once. Sometimes she had to embroider clothes even by candlelight, which made him feel distressed.

"I'll just do it for a few more years, then I won't do it anymore." The embroiderer smiled softly and said nonchalantly, "Besides, how many times can I be lucky enough to meet such a noble man? I'm afraid it will only take a few times."

Fan Yuan couldn't persuade her and could only agree with her.

"Yes, but it's better to be rare."
