Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Daughter: Not to be Trifled With

After the maids were seated, they looked at the embroidery cloth and tools laid out in front of them and were at a loss as to what to embroider.

Before long, a large number of the maids began to thread the embroidery thread into the embroidery needles, and soon they had threaded the embroidery thread completely into the needles.

However, several elderly women, whose eyesight was a little blurry, had a lot of trouble getting the embroidery thread completely through the needle.

Seeing this, Su Yun shook her head, looked at Liu Shi, and asked in confusion, "Mother, these elderly nannies don't have very good eyesight. How can you bear to let them participate in the competition? Isn't that unfair to them?"

After hearing this, Liu paused, looked at Su Yun Chu, and said awkwardly, "Chu'er, my original intention in making the announcement was to have all the maids participate, not to have the nannies participate in the embroidery competition."

"Perhaps those old women misunderstood and all came to participate in the embroidery competition! I was thinking of just letting it go, but since you've said so, Chu'er, I'll go and call all those old women out!"

After Liu finished speaking, she made a gesture to invite all the old women out.

Upon seeing this, Su Yunchu quickly stepped forward to stop Liu Shi, "Mother, since the nannies have already participated in the embroidery competition, please let them continue!"

"Otherwise, the nannies will feel old and won't please the master anymore."

After hearing this, Madam Liu paused, looked at Su Yun Chu, and said with a smile, "Chu'er, on behalf of those nannies, thank you for your understanding!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun immediately understood Liu's intention.

If the nannies complained about the difficulty of participating in the embroidery competition, Liu could say that the nannies had misunderstood her intentions; if she called the nannies out and they were unhappy, she could say that the young lady thought that you nannies were too old to participate in the embroidery competition.

No matter what the nannies said, Liu Shi was always right, and others could only be wrong.

After hearing this, Su Yun looked at Liu Shi, paused, and said in a low voice, "Mother, those nannies will be very grateful to you for giving them this opportunity."

Upon hearing this, a subtle hint of coldness flashed across Liu's face.

She couldn't help but think to herself, "That little bitch Su Yun Chu is not to be underestimated! Even I, the lady, have been outmaneuvered by her."

After a while, Liu Shi put away the coldness that had appeared on her face. However, she did not escape Su Yun Chu's eyes.

Then, Liu looked at Su Yun Chu, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Chu'er, let's observe the progress of the embroidery competition carefully!"

After hearing this, Su Yun didn't say anything, but just smiled and nodded at Liu.

Su Yun Chu looked around the embroidery room and saw the old women picking up their needles and starting to embroider on the cloth.

Although their hands looked rather rough, the embroidery needles seemed to come alive in their hands, dancing on the embroidery cloth as their hands moved up and down.

Before long, the originally white embroidery cloth in their hands slowly took on some different colors.

Su Yun Chu looked at the old women. Although their eyesight might not be very good, their hands were still so nimble and their embroidery skills were still so proficient.

Upon seeing this, Su Yun couldn't help but leave an approving look.

At this moment, she noticed some maids glancing at this and that from time to time, looking at what others were embroidering and what patterns they were making. They seemed unsure how to proceed with their needlework.

At this moment, Su Yunchu stood up and said softly to the maids, "Don't be nervous, everyone. Just embroider according to your own ideas."

Then, she strolled over to a young maid, picked up her embroidery, examined it, and offered a few words of advice with a smile. The young maid seemed to have been enlightened, and her needlework instantly became more fluid and skillful.

Seeing this, the other maids also gathered around to ask Su Yun Chu for advice.

Su Yun Chu patiently offered suggestions and encouraged them to use their creativity. The atmosphere in the embroidery room quickly became harmonious, and the maids' needlework skills improved dramatically.

Seeing this, Madam Liu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "Hmph, the embroidery competition that I organized has actually benefited that little bitch Su Yun Chu, allowing her to gain the favor of those maids for nothing."

Immediately, Liu's expression softened slightly. She looked at Su Yun Chu and said with a light smile, "Chu'er, I really didn't expect you to be so good at embroidery?"

After hearing this, Su Yun looked at Liu Shi and said in a low voice, "Mother, you flatter me! I still have to learn from you!"

After hearing this, Liu looked at Su Yun Chu and smiled with satisfaction.

Then, Liu looked at Su Yun Chu and said apologetically, "Chu'er, you take a look by yourself first! I'll be right back."

After hearing this, Su Yun looked at Liu Shi and nodded with a slight smile.

After leaving, Liu immediately went to Su Yunyan's room. Seeing Liu arrive, Su Yunyan rushed to greet her, hugging her and saying sweetly, "Mother, why did you take so long? Look, I've been waiting for you for so long!"

After hearing this, Liu looked at Su Yunyan in her arms, patted her head, and said gently, "Yan'er, your sister has been there the whole time, so it wasn't easy for me to get away. That's why I only managed to come over now."

After hearing this, Su Yunyan pouted at Liu Shi and said with dissatisfaction, "Mother, who is your daughter, me or my sister?"

Upon hearing this, Liu felt both angry and speechless, and wished she could slap her several times!

Immediately, Liu led Su Yunyan to the outside of the embroidery room. From the outside, one could clearly see what was happening inside the embroidery room, but from inside, one could not see what was happening outside.

Inside the embroidery room, the maids were diligently embroidering the patterns in their hearts.

One of the embroiderers caught Su Yunyan's attention with a piece she was working on. It was a lotus flower pattern, and the lotus flowers looked incredibly lifelike. Even more interesting were the goldfish in the pond, which seemed to be alive as well, making it exceptionally vivid and magical!

Seeing this, Su Yunyan nodded in satisfaction. That old woman was none other than Granny Ye, the embroiderer from the palace.

However, this was not Su Yunyan's ultimate goal; her true objective was to find the maid who was washing clothes by the pond.

Su Yunyan looked through each embroidery room one by one, but she didn't see the laundry maid who might have witnessed the whole process of her falling into the pond.

Just as Su Yunyan was about to give up, she noticed that the profile of a young maid in the last embroidery room looked somewhat like the maid who was washing clothes by the pond.

Immediately, Su Yunyan walked towards the last embroidery room and, upon closer inspection, recognized the maid. Su Yunyan then summoned Liu Shi and pointed out the young maid to her.

Upon seeing this, Liu immediately had an idea. As the competition neared its end, she announced, "The embroidery competition is about to end. Please come out in an orderly fashion with your embroidery pieces."

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up with their embroidery pieces and left the embroidery room that Qingya Garden had prepared for them.

Before long, everyone lined up outside Qingya Garden with their embroidery pieces.

Then, Madam Liu glanced at everyone and said, "There are two embroideries here that I really like." As she spoke, Madam Liu pointed to Granny Ye's lotus painting and Xin'er's flower and bird painting.

Everyone looked at the two embroidered pieces, which were indeed very fine, and the others couldn't help but feel envious!

After a while, Madam Liu looked at everyone and announced, "The outstanding work in this embroidery competition is the flower and bird design, which is my favorite."

Everyone was puzzled. Clearly, Granny Ye's lotus painting was superior, so why did she lose?

Everyone felt indignant on behalf of Granny Ye, but no one dared to speak out.

Some of the maids walked up to Xin'er, looked at her, and said with a smile, "Xin'er, congratulations! You've outshone Granny Ye!"

After hearing this, Xin'er just smiled at those people and didn't say anything. She never thought she would beat Granny Ye.

Then, Xin'er walked up to Granny Ye and said with a smile, "Granny Ye, are you ready to accept me as your apprentice?"
