Legend of the Embroiderer

Chang'an City is prosperous like a dream, with bustling traffic and bustling crowds.

In this ancient capital, a clothing store named "Mengyaofang" quietly opened, and its owner was Su Mengyao.

Her clothing designs, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, stirred up ripples one after another and quickly caused a sensation in Chang'an City.

Su Mengyao, her eyes sparkle with curiosity and fear about the unknown world, but her heart is full of love and persistence for fashion.

Her designs are not just clothing, but also a pursuit of beauty and a yearning for freedom.

Her "Mengyaofang" soon became a place that aristocratic women vyed for, marveling at the novel styles and designs that were both comfortable and practical, which were unprecedented in the Tang Dynasty.

In front of the gate of "Mengyaofang", there was an endless stream of carriages and horses, and the ladies were dressed in gorgeous clothes, their faces filled with a desire for fashion.

They sat around in the store, playing with the clothes designed by Su Mengyao in their hands, with surprise and admiration in their eyes.

These clothes are not only novel in style, but also indescribably comfortable, as if every strand of silk fits the skin and every inch of fabric flows along the curves of the body.

"Miss Su, this dress is amazing! Wearing it makes me feel ten years younger!"

A noble lady exclaimed in admiration, her face beaming with joy, as if she had found the secret to returning to youth.

Su Mengyao smiled, but she felt a mixture of emotions. These designs were commonplace in modern times, but in the Tang Dynasty, they were innovations that subverted tradition.

She felt both the surprise of new discoveries and the fear and tension of facing the unknown.

She was afraid that these designs would cause unnecessary trouble and that conservative forces would attack her designs.

Whenever she sees the smiles on customers' faces and hears their compliments, her heart is filled with strength.

Her designs are not just clothes, but the seeds of a fashion revolution and a challenge to traditional constraints.

During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian, the wise and authoritative empress, had long heard of Su Mengyao's reputation.

She was curious about Su Mengyao's innovative designs and also saw an opportunity to use them to demonstrate her authority.

On a sunny afternoon, Wu Zetian summoned Su Mengyao and proposed a challenge: to design an unprecedented set of costumes for the upcoming royal banquet.

Su Mengyao stepped into the magnificent hall, feeling both nervous and excited.

Empress Wu Zetian sat on the throne, her eyes sharp and deep, as if she could see into people's hearts:

"Su Mengyao, I have heard of your talent. I have ordered you to design a set of costumes for the upcoming royal banquet. It must be unique and sufficient to demonstrate the glory of our Tang Dynasty."

Su Mengyao took a deep breath, her eyes gleaming with determination: "Your Majesty, I will do my best to live up to your expectations."

Her voice was soft but powerful, showing her seriousness and determination towards this challenge.

Wu Zetian nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in her voice:

"I look forward to your performance, Su Mengyao. Remember, this is not only a test of your skills, but also a display of the innovative spirit of the Tang Dynasty."

After the meeting, Su Mengyao returned to her embroidery workshop, her mind full of thoughts about this mission.

She understood that this was not only an opportunity to showcase her talents, but also an opportunity to show modern design concepts to the entire Tang Dynasty.

=Su Mengyao accepted the challenge from Empress Wu Zetian to design an unprecedented set of costumes for the upcoming royal banquet.

She insisted on her own design concept and was unwilling to design it completely according to Wu Zetian's wishes, which caused a stir in the court.

Seeing that Su Mengyao was favored by the Queen, other designers in the palace couldn't help but feel jealous and dissatisfied.

They gathered in a corner of the palace, whispering, "Su Mengyao is just a fledgling designer, yet she dares to go against the Empress's wishes. Can her designs truly represent the glory of the Tang Dynasty?"

These designers began to spread rumors behind her back in an attempt to destroy Su Mengyao's reputation.

"I heard that Su Mengyao's design is too weird and not suitable for the atmosphere of a royal banquet."

A designer said mysteriously, with a sly glint in his eyes.

The news quickly spread throughout the palace, and Su Mengyao's reputation was affected. She sat in the embroidery workshop, holding the design drawings in her hands, her brows furrowed.

Her inner monologue was filled with determination: "My designs are meant to showcase the innovation and vitality of the Tang Dynasty. I won't let these rumors shake my faith."

After Li Zhao learned about this, he immediately came to Su Mengyao's side, his voice firm and powerful:

"Mengyao, I believe in your talent and vision. You don't have to pay attention to those nonsense. I will support you until you prove your design to everyone."

Su Mengyao's eyes flashed with emotion, and she said softly: "Zhao, thank you for your support. I won't let you down."

Her voice was soft but powerful, showing her seriousness and determination towards this challenge.

On the eve of the royal banquet, the city of Chang'an was filled with joy.

For Su Mengyao, this was a sudden crisis.

Her design drawings were stolen and her workshop was vandalized, and everything seemed to point to a conspiracy.

Su Mengyao stood in the destroyed workshop, her heart filled with shock and anger.

The theft of the drawings and the destruction of the workshop were undoubtedly a direct challenge to her.

She clenched her fists, a determined glint in her eyes: "I will not let these conspiracies succeed. No matter what happens, I will complete my mission."

Li Zhao stood beside her, his voice firm and powerful: "Mengyao, I will help you. Together we will find the mastermind behind this and restore your reputation."

Su Mengyao took a deep breath. She knew that time was running out and she had to act immediately. She used her wisdom and creativity to start redesigning the clothes.

Her fingers danced quickly on the drawing, and every stroke and every painting embodied her pursuit of beauty and response to challenges.

“In this era, we have the opportunity to create beauty that has never been created before.”

Su Mengyao spoke softly in the studio, her voice full of longing for the future and desire for innovation.

Under the bright lights of the royal banquet, Wu Zetian, the empress of the Tang Dynasty, expressed her appreciation for Su Mengyao's new design.

Her eyes were sharp and deep, as if she could see through people's hearts. Her voice echoed in the air above the banquet:

"Su Mengyao, your design today is indeed refreshing, but I want to test not only your talent, but also your adaptability. I order you to design a set of clothes for each concubine in the palace overnight."

Su Mengyao stood in the center of the banquet, feeling both nervous and excited.

The Queen's test is undoubtedly a great challenge to her ability, but also a great opportunity to show her talents.

She bowed to the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, I will do my best to live up to your trust."

The atmosphere at the banquet became even more tense because of the Queen's test. The other designers and concubines in the palace were whispering to each other, their eyes filled with both expectation and suspicion.

One of the concubines whispered, "How is it possible to design so many costumes in one night?"

Li Zhao stood beside Su Mengyao, his eyes full of trust and support: "Mengyao, I believe you can do it. Your talent and wisdom will definitely help you pass this test."

Su Mengyao returned to the studio, her mind full of thoughts about this test.

This is not only an opportunity to showcase one's own design talent, but also an opportunity to showcase modern design concepts to the entire Tang Dynasty.

She spread out the drawing and began to conceive the design. Her fingers danced quickly on the drawing, and every stroke and every painting embodied her pursuit of beauty and response to challenges.

"Time is running out, but I can't let pressure affect my creativity." Su Mengyao whispered to herself, with a determined look in her eyes.

Her designs not only had to meet the Empress's requirements, but also had to showcase the personality and style of each concubine.

Su Mengyao accepted Empress Wu Zetian's challenge to design a set of clothes for every concubine in the palace overnight.

The task was arduous, but Su Mengyao did not back down. She bravely met the challenge with her team and innovative design concepts.

As night falls, Su Mengyao's embroidery workshop is brightly lit. Her team members gather around the design table, each of their faces filled with tension and anticipation.

Su Mengyao stood among them, her eyes firm and bright: "We must not only complete this task, but also make each set of clothing a work of art."

Her wisdom and creativity were fully utilized at this moment. Su Mengyao not only took into account the personality and preferences of each concubine, but also incorporated the diversity and inclusiveness of Tang Dynasty clothing into the design.

Her fingers danced quickly on the drawing, and every stroke and every painting embodied her pursuit of beauty and response to challenges.

“Time is tight, but our team is working together seamlessly and we can create miracles.”

Su Mengyao's voice was full of confidence, and her team members were also infected by her enthusiasm and threw themselves into the intense design and production.

As the night deepened and the lights in the embroidery workshop gradually dimmed, one set of exquisite clothing after another gradually took shape in the hands of Su Mengyao and her team.

These costumes not only showcase the unique charm of each concubine, but also highlight the magnificence and sophistication of Tang Dynasty costumes.

When the first ray of morning light came through the window, Su Mengyao and her team finally completed the last set of clothing.

Their faces were filled with fatigue, but their eyes sparkled with victory.

Su Mengyao gently stroked the last set of clothing, feeling a sense of accomplishment in her heart: "We did it. We not only completed the task, but also demonstrated our wisdom and talent."
