Legend of the Embroiderer

Although Su Mengyao's family is currently at the bottom of the aristocratic class, it does not mean that they are willing to remain in obscurity.

In fact, this family has business acumen and sophisticated political means beyond ordinary people's imagination.

It is precisely because of these unique advantages that they have accumulated a lot of wealth bit by bit through years of unremitting efforts, frequent various trade activities, and clever use of marriages.

At the same time, he gradually expanded his influence in all walks of life. Now, he finally made his mark in the bustling city of Chang'an.

One day, an unprecedented and grand court banquet was held in Chang'an City.

For Su Mengyao's family, this banquet undoubtedly became an excellent opportunity to fully demonstrate their true strength to the outside world.

When night fell, the entire banquet hall was brightly lit, so magnificent that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.

The melodious sound of stringed instruments is endless, as if it can penetrate people's hearts; a wide variety of delicious dishes are on display, filling the long table.

The many nobles who were invited to attend the banquet were all dressed in gorgeous clothes. They talked and laughed with each other, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.

Looking at Su Mengyao's family members, they were all dressed up carefully.

Every piece of clothing they wore was made by skilled craftsmen with countless efforts, and was inlaid with priceless precious gems, which sparkled dazzlingly under the light.

Not only that, they exude an innate elegance in their every move, their words and actions are just right and graceful, and they are full of confidence and pride from the inside out.

Su Mengyao's father, Su Tai, was standing steadily in the center of the banquet venue.

He was smiling, looking calm and composed, and he said in a loud and confident voice:

"Dear friends and family! It is truly a great honor for my Su family that we can gather here today to share this grand feast. On behalf of the entire Su family, I would like to take this opportunity to express our highest respect to the great Tang Dynasty. I sincerely hope that the deep friendship between us can become like the aged wine on this table, becoming more mellow and rich with the passage of time."

These words seemed simple and ordinary, but they actually contained a hidden meaning. Between the lines, Su Tai revealed his infinite longing for the future development prospects of his family, and at the same time, he also implicitly issued a powerful challenge to the other noble forces present.

In the magnificent and brightly lit banquet hall, there were crowds of people and it was bustling with activity.

Su Mengyao's family is showing off their huge wealth and extensive influence in an extremely gorgeous and ostentatious way.

I saw priceless treasures displayed on exquisite exhibition stands, the dazzling light dazzling mesmerizing me; and there were also carefully prepared delicacies, emitting tempting aroma, making people salivate.

The layout of the entire banquet hall is magnificent, showing the Su family's unique taste and luxury.

Such a grand display naturally won the sincere admiration of some nobles. They all cast envious glances at the Su family and gave them praise without hesitation.

This grand display also aroused the jealousy and deep hostility of some other nobles.

Among this group of people, there was a nobleman with extremely prominent status - Li Han.

He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting in the corner, watching everything happening in front of him with an expressionless face and cold eyes.

When his eyes swept over the treasures displayed by the Su family, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible hint of disdain.

He lowered his voice and said, "Although the Su family is rich, they are ultimately just nouveau riche. Their bloodline is impure, so how can they be compared with real famous families like us and be on equal footing?"

Although his words were not loud, they were clearly heard by the people around him. The dissatisfaction with the rise of the Su family and the vague threat contained in them were self-evident.

Su Mengyao stood gracefully among the crowd, like a dazzling pearl, emitting charming brilliance.

Her beautiful appearance was as pure and elegant as a lotus flower emerging from the water, and coupled with her outstanding talent and elegant temperament, she instantly attracted countless eyes to focus on her.

Facing the astonished and admiring gazes of the crowd, Su Mengyao did not show the slightest bit of arrogance.

On the contrary, deep in her heart, a passionate inner monologue was silently flowing:

"No matter how bumpy and difficult the road ahead may be, I, Su Mengyao, am determined to rely on my own efforts to ensure that my family not only stands firm in this prosperous era, but also becomes the supreme pride of the entire Tang Dynasty!"

There was an unwavering light in her bright eyes, as if no difficulties or obstacles could shake her faith and determination.

Although Su Mengyao's family is not well-known or powerful, it is like a pearl hidden deep in a clam shell, quietly nurturing an incomparably dazzling pearl - Su Mengyao.

This woman possessed extraordinary talent and an extremely intelligent mind. She had set great ambitions since she was young, and longed to make a name for herself in the magnificent palace with her own abilities.

In order to prove her true value, and make the whole family feel extremely proud of her.

One day, an unprecedentedly large design competition was held in the prosperous and bustling city of Chang'an.

The purpose of this competition was to select the most exceptional designer to craft a new, magnificent garment for the revered Empress Wu Zetian. For the ambitious Su Mengyao, she understood this competition was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If she could fully demonstrate her talent, it would not only significantly elevate her family's status but also potentially change the course of her own life.

So, on that sunny day, Su Mengyao resolutely threw herself into this fierce competition.

As she was surrounded by so many powerful opponents, she couldn't help but feel an irrepressible nervousness deep down in her heart. But at the same time, the eager anticipation for success also ignited in her chest like a burning flame:

"Today's match is by no means just an ordinary fight; it is a crucial turning point that will determine the future of my life!"
