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

After leaving Su Yunyan's Fengxiang Courtyard, Xin'er walked slowly toward Granny Ye's residence with tears in her eyes and in a daze.

Before long, Xin'er arrived outside Granny Ye's residence. At this moment, outside Granny Ye's residence, Xin'er wiped away her tears before entering the courtyard where Granny Ye lived.

When Granny Ye saw that it was Xin'er coming, she immediately put down what she was doing and came to greet her.

When Granny Ye saw Xin'er's appearance, which clearly indicated that she had just been crying, she couldn't help but ask with heartache, "Xin'er, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

After hearing this, Xin'er paused, looked at Granny Ye, and really didn't want Granny Ye to worry about her, nor did she want to implicate Granny Ye because of this.

Then, Xin'er smiled at Granny Ye and whispered, "Granny Ye, it's just a little dust that got into my eyes, Xin'er is really fine!"

When Granny Ye heard Xin'er say this, although she had doubts in her heart, she did not ask any more questions.

Xin'er glanced at Granny Ye, smiled, and broke the awkward silence by asking, "Granny Ye, may I call you Master now?"

After hearing this, Granny Ye smiled at Xin'er and said softly, "Xin'er, I've been teaching you embroidery for a while now, so I'm your teacher, aren't I?"

After hearing this, Xin'er smiled at Granny Ye and said softly, "Master, please accept my bow!"

As Xin'er spoke, she knelt down with a cup of tea in her hand and respectfully handed it to Granny Ye, saying softly, "Master, please have some tea!"

After hearing this, Granny Ye paused for a moment, then happily accepted the tea that Xin'er brought her. She helped Xin'er up and said with a smile, "Xin'er, I officially accept you as my apprentice today. You must carry forward the art of embroidery and not give up halfway, so as not to disappoint me!"

After hearing this, Xin'er looked at Granny Ye and said mischievously, "Master, aren't you afraid that if you teach Xin'er, she will steal your position and limelight?"

After hearing this, Granny Ye paused, looked at Xin'er, and said with a smile, "Xin'er, if that day really comes, your master will be even happier, because your master's embroidery skills will have a successor. At that time, your master will feel proud and honored to have a disciple like you, Xin'er."

Then, Granny Ye looked at Xin'er, smiled, and said playfully, "Xin'er, but when that time comes, won't you let your master go hungry?"

After hearing this, Xin'er paused, looked at Granny Ye, smiled, and said softly, "Master, no, don't worry! As the saying goes, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.' Xin'er would never be that kind of person!"

After hearing this, Granny Ye looked at Xin'er and said with a smile, "Xin'er, it is because your master knows that you are a kind and upright person that I agreed to take you as my disciple and am willing to impart all my knowledge to you. Your master knows that you are not that kind of person."

After hearing this, Xin'er looked at Granny Ye, said nothing, and simply nodded with a smile.

Then, Granny Ye looked at Xin'er, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Xin'er, although embroidery is a traditional craft, it's not enough to just know how to pass it down. You also need to innovate! Only then can it keep up with the times."

After hearing this, Xin'er paused, looked at Granny Ye, and said thoughtfully, "Master, you are right! Our embroidery skills must not only be passed down but also innovated."

Immediately, Xin'er looked at Granny Ye with a puzzled expression and whispered, "Master, but how exactly should we do it?"

Granny Ye smiled, gently stroking Xin'er's hair, and said earnestly, "Xin'er, innovation means adding new elements to the foundation of tradition. For example, we can try to combine different stitches, colors, and patterns to create a unique style, or apply embroidery to everyday items so that more people can see and appreciate our craftsmanship."

Xin'er listened with great interest, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Master, I understand! I will definitely study hard and strive to create my own innovative works."

After hearing this, Granny Ye looked at Xin'er, nodded with satisfaction, and said in a low voice, "Yes, Xin'er, I believe you can do it. However, the road to innovation may not be smooth, and you may encounter various difficulties and challenges along the way, but as long as you persevere, you will definitely reap the rewards."

After hearing this, Xin'er looked at Granny Ye, nodded heavily, and said with a light smile, "Master, I understand. I will definitely overcome all difficulties and forge ahead."

After hearing this, Granny Ye looked at Xin'er, smiled with satisfaction, and said in a low voice, "That's very good. However, remember not to be impatient and to proceed step by step."

In the days that followed, Xin'er devoted herself to studying embroidery techniques, constantly trying new stitches and combinations. She incorporated her own creativity into each piece, making them more vivid and interesting.

One day, Xin'er was embroidering a picture called "Spring Blossoms and Autumn Fruits". She skillfully used a variety of stitches to make the picture more lifelike.

Just as she was engrossed in her creation, a distinguished person happened to pass by and was deeply attracted by her work.

This person is Consort Jia, a concubine in the palace, who is quite knowledgeable about embroidery.

Consort Jia greatly appreciated Xin'er's innovative idea and decided to bring her into the palace to become her personal embroiderer.

Xin'er was overjoyed upon hearing this! She then looked at Consort Jia and said softly, "Consort Jia, thank you for your appreciation! My skills are insufficient; I fear I cannot handle this arduous task. May my master accompany me to the palace?"

After hearing this, Consort Jia paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course you can. You're already so capable, your master must be even more so. Could you introduce me to your master?"

Upon hearing this, Xin'er led Consort Jia to Granny Ye's courtyard. Xin'er knocked on the door outside the courtyard, and Granny Ye's anxious voice came from inside, "Who is it? Open the door right away."

"Master, it's me." Xin'er's cheerful voice came from outside the courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Granny Ye came over and opened the door. Looking at Consort Jia behind Xin'er, she asked in confusion, "Xin'er, what's this?"

At this moment, Consort Jia walked up from behind Xin'er and said with a light smile, "Granny Ye, I was too abrupt! I am very satisfied with Xin'er's embroidery and would like to bring her into the palace to be my personal embroiderer."

"She also recommended you to me, so I thought I'd come and meet you."

At this moment, Consort Jia looked up at Granny Ye and was immediately stunned. "Master, what are you doing here? It's me, Jiajia!"

Upon hearing this, Granny Ye looked at Consort Jia and said in a low voice, "Greetings, Consort Jia... How are you now?"

Upon hearing this, Xin'er felt both happy and proud for her master, Granny Ye.
