The Female Supporting Role Shows Out

"Bengong hasn't asked you to settle the account yet, but you are already scared like this. It seems that you know something." Li Min had completely recovered and asked slowly, "Then Xiu Niang, surnamed Lin, is also from Lin'an, the two of you. Should we know each other? You say, how does her embroidery skills compare to yours?"

"Ma-, Madam Hui, Minnu has only heard of Lin Dan's name and is not familiar with her. Minnu doesn't know her embroidery skills." How dare Meng Si tell the truth.

Li Min chuckled lightly, but his eyes became colder: "Unfamiliar? You dare to lie in front of this palace, who gave you the courage? With such an excellent embroidery skill and exquisite embroidery maid, how could it not be possible to produce embroidery girls like that? Head? Not to mention Lin'an Mansion, even in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom, I am afraid that there is no second embroiderer who is more powerful than her. How can you be unfamiliar with such people? Your embroiderer and her embroidery The work together is simply unsightly! You say, what means did you use to infiltrate the palace?"

Meng Si was extremely aggrieved, and said with tears in her eyes, "My lady, the people's daughter didn't use any means, the people's daughter, the people's daughter…" She originally wanted to say that she was selected based on her true ability, but instead, she thought of Lin Dan, but Couldn't spit out another word. Indeed, if it wasn't for Li Xiudian's assistance, she would have no right to stand here.

"What? You don't dare to say it, do you? Your hands have made Bengong lose face, so what else do you want it to do? Come on, cut her fingers off for Bengong!" Li Minlue waved her hand and said The two palace maids stepped forward with the scorpion, put Meng Si's gloves in, and pulled them hard.

Meng Si screamed in pain and then cried to Li Min for mercy. Li Min turned a deaf ear, just closed his eyes, and shook the fan as if listening to some fairy music. If others don't make her feel better, she will give it back hundreds of times.

Just at this moment, several eunuchs walked in with a huge screen covered with silk, and one person held a small screen in his arms and saluted respectfully: "This slave has seen the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, this It was a gift from my master, Concubine Xian, who said that I wish you the honor of being a phoenix."

The position of the queen mother is also the phoenix position. It is not surprising that someone came to give gifts and congratulations, but the strange thing is that Li Min was the mastermind behind the collapse of the third prince. Qiu, is she so kind?

Li Min opened his eyes and looked at the small screen and the big screen, but did not notice Meng Si's increasingly pale face.

"What kind of gift is so mysterious that it's still covered with a cloth?" Li Min said with a half-smiling smile.

The leading eunuch knelt down and replied, "Qi to the Empress Dowager, it was Tai Concubine Xian who instructed the slaves and maids to cover them with cloth, so as not to frighten the birds."

"Oh?" Li Min became interested, walked over in person, lifted the silk cloth, and was stunned. I saw a multi-colored peacock embroidered on this huge screen, and its gorgeous tail feathers were long dragged on the ground, exuding colorful divine light.

Li Min originally thought that Du Fange's phoenix robe was a masterpiece, and it was hard to find similar embroidery in the world, but the picture of the peacock in front of him did not lose to it at all. No wonder Concubine Xian ordered someone to cover the screen, but it was to prevent the aura of the embroidery from leaking out.

Li Min took two steps back, admiring it fascinatedly. Although the embroidered screen was sent by her nemesis, she couldn't suppress the love in her heart at all.

The eunuch turned the screen in a half-circle, and then said, "My lady, please see, this screen is embroidered with a piece of fabric, and there are patterns on both sides. The requirements for embroidery skills are very high."

Li Min stepped back again, with an astonishing expression. I saw an identical peacock embroidered behind the screen. The feathers are white, but they can emit a slight five-color light under the sunlight. It looks very holy and very luxurious. Its embroidery skills, its style of painting. , which is exactly the same as Du Fange's phoenix robe.

"Is this embroidered screen also the work of Lin Xiuniang?" Li Min guessed.

"Hui Niangniang, this is indeed the work of that Lin Xiu Niang. The embroidery method uses the long-lost double-sided embroidery, which is rare in the world."

Li Min slapped his palm and said, "It really is her!"

Lin Dan's embroidery style is too strong, paying attention to elegance and beauty, bright colors, and changing light and shadow, even a layman who knows nothing can see it at a glance.

The eunuch pointed to the long-forgotten small screen and said, "This embroidery is also double-sided embroidery, but its technique is completely different from that of Lin Xiuniang. It is the work of this Meng Xiuniang. The two embroiderers were in Lin'an that day. Niang took out these two works at the same time to participate in the selection. Whoever wins can enter the palace to embroider a dress for her. Later, Meng Xiuniang won, and Lin Xiuniang lost, but the works of the two embroiderers are peerless, and the current big Zhou Guo has only two paintings, which are very worth collecting, so my master ordered someone to buy them for the empress."

"Really? Then thank your master. Come and see the reward." As soon as Li Minlue waved his hand, a palace maid handed a bag of silver melon seeds to a few eunuchs and asked them to share it. At this time, how could Li Min still not know the original intention of Concubine Xian to give him a gift? But even if she was about to explode inside, it was impossible for an outsider to see the joke. After all the trouble, the reason why she made a fool of herself was because of her own family!

After a few people left, Li Min picked up the small screen and looked at it with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. This is Meng Si's work, and this is the double-sided embroidery that Li Xiudian has blown away? Compared with Lin Xiuniang's work, what is it?

Thinking of this, Li Min smashed the screen on Meng Si's head, causing her head to bleed and almost fainted. Her ten fingers had already been pinched off, and she was drooping weakly, her flesh was rolled, blood was dripping, and the scene was very tragic.

When Li Xiudian followed Li Ran in, he saw exactly this scene, he forgot to do his due diligence and ran forward, took Meng Si into his arms, and said in a trembling voice, "Aunt, what are you doing, why do you want to do this? Punish Sisi?"

Meng Si's voice was already hoarse, and he had no strength in his hands, so he could only look at him helplessly.

"Sisi? Calling so affectionately, what's the relationship between the two of you?" Li Min asked very keenly.

Li Ran waved his hand quickly: "It's just a lowly embroidered mother, how can it be related to Xiudian?"

"It doesn't matter which one is better!" Li Min pointed to the two screens and said, "Brother, come and see, which of these two embroidery works do you think is better?"

Since Li Ran was not a capital official, he was not qualified to attend the little emperor's enthronement ceremony, so he could only hurry back and wait at home, so he didn't know that his sister was severely suppressed by Empress Du at the ceremony because of a phoenix robe. . He just glanced at the big screen and said, "Of course, this one is better."

"Okay, everyone with eyes can see that this embroidery is much better than this one. Then I would like to ask my good nephew, why did you choose it when you were there to review it in person? After taking this picture of a lady, I will suppress this picture of a peacock! When you took over this errand, how did Ben Gong explain to you? Do you remember? Send it to the palace to embroider the most gorgeous phoenix robe in the world for this palace. You are good, for your little love, you sent such a thing here! Do you know that because of your selfishness, this palace is here The civil and military officials have made all appearances! Obviously this palace is the real phoenix, but Du Fange's fake phoenix has been compared! And the embroidered girl she chose is exactly what you don't want!"

Li Min pointed to the tip of Li Xiudian's nose and said word by word, "Ben Gong originally expected you to help me a lot in the future, but you are better, but instead, you put your own personal interests more important than mine, and more important than family interests. If you can't handle even this trivial matter, what is the use of you in this palace? What eldest brother, what nephew, there are so many eldest brothers and nephews in this palace, there is no shortage of you two!"

Li Xiudian's face was pale, unable to argue. Ever since he learned that Lin Dan also entered the palace and started embroidering the dress of the Empress Dowager Du, he had expected this day. Knowing this earlier, when he was in Lin'an Mansion, he should have abolished Lin Dan's hands to avoid future troubles.

Only then did Li Ran know what had happened, and glared at his son before kneeling on the ground to beg his sister for mercy, the back of his clothes instantly wet with cold sweat. He only got the full support of the family because he was the elder brother of the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother turned to support several other brothers, he would have no place in the family or in the court!

"Niangniang, what you said is too serious…" He tried to defend, but hit Li Min's sore spot again.

"Why, do you think this is not serious today? In front of the civil and military officials, Ben Gong was stomped under Du Fange's feet, and she was compared to a phoenix with fluffy hair. It's not serious, what is it? Is it serious? It's serious to break this bitch's hand, and it's serious to hurt your interests, right? It's okay, Li Ran, you are really good! Get out of the way, I don't want to see you again!" Li Min got out of anger, waved a few guards, and drove the three out.

Li Ran has never been so embarrassed, and all this is thanks to his good son. After walking out of the palace gate and boarding the carriage, his pent-up anger finally erupted, and he slapped Li Xiudian with his backhand, scolding: "The trash that can't support the wall with mud! What are you doing with her, throw me out of the car? go with!"

Li Xiudian hugged Meng Si tightly and begged: "Dad, she has been hurt like this, you can let her go!"

"I did, but your aunt won't let you go! I originally wanted your aunt to run the operation for you and send you to the Hanlin Academy, but now it seems impossible. What's your future path? Go, have you figured it out for yourself? If your aunt went to help your cousins ​​instead, how would you deal with yourself? You trapped yourself in the quagmire for the sake of a little love for your children. Are you satisfied now? If you can't bear this bitch, then go down with her!" Li Ran said in an extremely cold tone.

Li Xiudian has always been the most outstanding among the brothers, and Li Min likes the most. But now, he has severely offended Li Min, and naturally he has lost his help, and the future is really slim. What was even more unbearable for him was that those cousins ​​and concubines who had been despised and even bullied by him would climb on his head to make a fortune. How humiliating and hard were those days?

For a split second, he felt timid, and the hands that held Meng Si slowly, bit by bit, loosened…
