Legend of the Embroiderer

As the competition slowly began, designers from all walks of life couldn't wait to show off their masterpieces that they had carefully prepared for a long time.

For a moment, one piece of colorful and beautiful clothing after another bloomed like flowers in a spring garden, dazzling and overwhelming.

Just as people were immersed in the visual feast brought by these breathtakingly beautiful works, the design presented by Su Mengyao, like a flash of lightning that cuts through the night sky, instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.

Her design concept is unique and ingenious, skillfully integrating the long-standing traditional cultural elements with the vibrant modern fashion style.

In this way, the works presented not only vividly demonstrate the elegant, magnificent and majestic demeanor of the Tang Dynasty.

It also perfectly incorporates novel, unique, smart and lively innovative factors, which is truly stunning and shocking.

"This design is truly extraordinary! It embodies the majestic style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty while cleverly incorporating many novel elements. It's truly eye-catching!"

Empress Wu Zetian's gaze, as deep as autumn water, lingered for a long time on the work presented by Su Mengyao, revealing her undisguised admiration and amazement.

At this time, Su Mengyao was standing respectfully in front of the Queen. Although her heart was already filled with pride, she still couldn't hide a hint of nervousness.

She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your compliment. This is merely my humble understanding of the splendid culture of the Great Tang, and my aspirations for a brighter future."

Although her tone was soft and gentle, the firm power contained in it seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, revealing her own intelligence and extraordinary talent.

As the competition progressed, Su Mengyao's carefully crafted work became more and more dazzling and unique.

Among the many entries, it is like a dazzling pearl, gradually standing out from the many competitors.

Finally, after a fierce competition, Su Mengyao defeated all the competitors without any suspense and successfully won the crown, thus winning the special favor of Her Majesty the Queen.

Not long after, an imperial decree came - Su Mengyao was appointed as the court designer.

This honor not only represents a high recognition of her personal outstanding talent, but also brings unprecedented supreme glory to the entire Su family behind her.

As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. Su Mengyao's great success soon attracted the attention and jealousy of other nobles.

In a corner that was not noticed by others, a noble said indignantly in a low voice:

"Humph! I never thought that the girl from the Su family could win the Queen's favor and appreciation so easily. This matter should definitely not be underestimated!"

As he spoke, his narrow eyes flickered with resentment from time to time. It was obvious that he was secretly plotting some conspiracy. An unknown storm seemed to be brewing quietly in the dark...

In the prosperous Chang'an City, Su Mengyao's name was like the rising sun, illuminating every corner of the palace.

Her success was like a double-edged sword, which not only won her glory but also ignited the jealousy of other nobles.

In a secluded corner of the palace, several nobles gathered together, their eyes flashing with dissatisfaction and calculation.

"Su Mengyao is just a new designer. Why does she deserve the Queen's appreciation?" One of the nobles was indignant, his words full of jealousy and hostility.

They began to secretly plot against Su Mengyao, trying to destroy her reputation and status.

A nobleman spreads rumors about Su Mengyao in the palace, trying to tarnish her reputation and make her lose the trust of the Queen.

"Su Mengyao's designs are nothing but fancy tricks. How can they compare to our traditional craftsmanship?"

His words spread quietly in the court and resonated with some people.

Su Mengyao quickly realized these undercurrents. Although her heart was in turmoil, she remained calm on the surface.

She knew that she had to show her wit and courage in the face of these rumors and conspiracies.

At a palace gathering, Su Mengyao cleverly used her design works to show her talent and loyalty to the empress and everyone.

"Your Majesty, although my design is new, every thread and every stitch contains my deep respect for the Tang Dynasty."

Su Mengyao's voice echoed in the hall, her words revealing determination and confidence. Her design works, with their unique style and exquisite craftsmanship, once again won the praise of the Queen and the public.

As Su Mengyao becomes more successful, she begins to face challenges and threats from other nobles.

These conflicts not only test her wits but also add tension to the story.

Su Mengyao knew that she had to be more cautious and at the same time look for opportunities to fight back.

In the glorious palace, Su Mengyao's name became famous because of a design competition, but what followed was not only glory, but also jealousy and conspiracy from other nobles.

Faced with these undercurrents, Su Mengyao knew that she must find an opportunity to prove her innocence and fight back against her opponents.

One day, a grand court event was held in Chang'an City, which was a perfect opportunity for Su Mengyao to fight back.

She stood in the magnificent hall, her mind already mapped out. Her gaze was determined, and she thought to herself, "Today, I will make those who spread rumors suffer the consequences."

During the event, Su Mengyao cleverly set a trap. She deliberately displayed some seemingly plausible design sketches at the banquet, which were enough to attract the attention of those nobles with ulterior motives.

As expected, a nobleman jumped out impatiently and accused Su Mengyao's design of plagiarizing his work.

"Your Majesty, Su Mengyao's design is clearly plagiarized from me. She is not worthy of being a palace designer."

The nobleman's voice echoed in the hall, his eyes full of complacency.

Su Mengyao was not in a hurry. She took out the real design drawing from her sleeve. It recorded every step of the design and the source of inspiration in detail, and it was made long before the so-called "original" by the nobleman.

"Your Majesty, here are my designs. Each one is the fruit of my painstaking efforts. How can you accuse me of plagiarism?"

Her voice was calm and powerful, and every word was like a hammer hitting the nobleman's heart.

Wu Zetian's eyes wandered between Su Mengyao's design and the noble's face. Finally, a hint of displeasure appeared in her voice:

"Su Mengyao's design drawings are clear and concise. How can it be plagiarism? It's clear that someone is jealous and maliciously slandering her."

As the Queen pronounced her verdict, the nobleman's face turned pale, for he knew his conspiracy had been exposed.

Su Mengyao's witty response not only cleared her own reputation, but also exposed the shortcomings of those who spread rumors.
