Legend of the Embroiderer

Queen Mengyao was dressed in gorgeous clothes and sat gracefully on a chair in her bedroom. Her beautiful face was illuminated by the soft light, making her look even more charming.

She was concentrating on carrying out a crucial mission - carefully selecting a suitable wet nurse for the young prince.

Before her stood a row of potential wet nurses, all with their heads bowed, waiting respectfully for Mengyao's scrutiny and selection.

Queen Mengyao's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's as she carefully examined each candidate. She not only paid attention to whether the candidate wet nurses were dignified and beautiful in appearance and gentle and generous in temperament, but also paid attention to the cultivation and character revealed in their words and deeds.

Queen Mengyao also inquired in detail about everyone's past experiences, and would never miss any details that might affect the growth of the little prince.

She was as attentive as if she was searching for the most dazzling pearl.

Just when Queen Mengyao was fully devoted to the rigorous selection work, suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar, instantly breaking the original tranquility of the bedroom.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhao Wan'er walking in hurriedly.

Her face was filled with a seemingly friendly smile. She quickly walked up to Meng Yao, bowed slightly, and said, "Princess, I happen to have a wet nurse to recommend. Although this person comes from a poor family, she has excellent character and a plentiful supply of milk. In my opinion, Your Majesty might consider her."

Hearing Zhao Wan'er's words, Empress Mengyao's heart tightened. She knew Zhao Wan'er had always been jealous of her, and her sudden recommendation of a wet nurse must have been a ulterior motive.

Perhaps Zhao Wan'er was trying to make a big fuss about the wet nurse incident, thereby secretly planting unpredictable hidden dangers for the future of her beloved son, the little prince.

Thinking of this, Queen Mengyao secretly became more vigilant and decided to be more cautious about the person recommended by Zhao Wan'er and the entire matter of selecting a wet nurse.

Zhao Wan'er appeared in the bedroom without any warning, like a ghost.

She was like an elf walking out of the dark night, silently descending into this originally quiet space.

She had a graceful figure and walked lightly, and every step seemed to be on the clouds, making it difficult to track her movements.

There was a mysterious smile on her exquisite face at this moment.

That smile is like the sudden sunshine in spring, warm and hazy; it is also like the orchid in the deep valley, quiet and elegant.

Behind this charming smile, there seems to be endless meaning and calculation hidden, which is difficult to understand.

The wet nurse, whom Zhao Wan'er had so strongly recommended, stood quietly to the side, her head lowered, as if deliberately avoiding everyone's gaze, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.

The wet nurse was dressed in plain clothes and looked a little thin, but her every move revealed a calmness and restraint.

This sudden change put Meng Yao, who was originally in charge of the wet nurse selection work in the palace in an orderly manner, into an extremely passive situation.

Although the light in the bedroom is still as soft and pleasant as before, the golden rays of light shining through the window lattices make the room warm and elegant.

But the moment Zhao Wan'er appeared, the entire atmosphere seemed to freeze in an instant, becoming solemn and depressing, and even the air seemed to have stopped flowing.

The candidate wet nurses who came to participate in the selection were all standing there nervously, their bodies trembling slightly involuntarily.

They all looked pale, their hands tightly grasping the corners of their clothes, not daring to relax even a little.

These wet nurses would occasionally glance cautiously at Mengyao who was sitting above them with the corner of their eyes, their eyes full of nervousness and anxiety.

Because everyone knows very well in their hearts that this selection is of great significance and importance to them.

Any slight mistake or poor performance will result in missing out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Faced with this extremely difficult situation, Mengyao's already sensitive and delicate heart suddenly began to churn violently like a turbulent sea.

She knew clearly in her heart that what Zhao Wan'er did this time was definitely not out of kindness. There must be some unknown and shameful conspiracy hidden in it.

Although her heart was already in turmoil, Mengyao knew very well that she must not lose her composure at this moment.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the ups and downs in her heart, secretly telling herself to remain calm and composed, and to deal with this sudden storm carefully and cautiously. No matter what, she must not let Zhao Wan'er's insidious and cunning plan succeed.

Meng Yao tilted her head slightly, forced a seemingly polite smile, and said in a slow and steady voice, "Thank you for your concern. I will consider it carefully."

At first glance, these words sound particularly gentle and humble, giving people a feeling of respect and courtesy.

But if you savor it carefully, you can realize that between the lines lies Meng Yao's unwavering determination and extraordinary intelligence and cleverness.

Just as she finished speaking, an elusive sharp gaze flashed across her eyes as quickly as lightning.

Although this ray of light was fleeting and almost imperceptible, it seemed to be silently conveying this message to everyone present - I, Mengyao, am not the kind of weak person who can be manipulated by others at will!

In the long period of time that followed, Mengyao conducted more detailed and meticulous observations of the candidate wet nurses.

She first carefully sent her trusted people to dig deep into the hidden backgrounds and past experiences of these wet nurses.

Not only that, Mengyao would personally take action from time to time and have in-depth conversations with each wet nurse.

In this seemingly ordinary conversation, she was like a shrewd hunter, concentrating on finding even the slightest key clue from the other party's words.

In particular, the wet nurse recommended by Zhao Wan'er with all her might has become one of the key figures in Meng Yao's focus review this time.

Meng Yao knew very well that if she could not thoroughly investigate the true character of this wet nurse, it would most likely have an immeasurable impact on the future and destiny of the little prince's long life.

No matter how great the difficulties and obstacles she encountered, she was determined to rely on her own eyes that were good at seeing through everything, as well as her delicate and extremely sharp insight, to personally verify whether this wet nurse was really as flawless as the other concubines in the palace praised her to be, and could be called flawless.

Time passed by quietly day by day without anyone noticing, but Mengyao always maintained her unswerving belief and continued to carry out her meticulous investigation work without slacking off.

God will not let down those who work hard. As the years roll on, she gradually begins to realize some secret events that have been buried deep in the corner and few people know about.

These unknown secrets hidden in the darkness are like mysterious and elusive keys.

Perhaps at some unintentional moment, one of them would be able to successfully open that crucial door that was crucial and decisive for the future of the young prince...
