The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Chapter 265 Qing He's Craftsmanship is Appreciated by the Emperor

Yan Shixun could never have imagined that the embroiderer with superb embroidery skills would be a girl of the same age as him!

What he didn't expect was that this girl looked very much like someone he knew!

Mr. Xi introduced the two of them enthusiastically, "Mr. Yan, this is Miss Yao you are looking for..."

Qing He bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Master Yan!"

Yan Shixun smiled gently and said, "I don't deserve it! Miss Yao, you don't have to be polite, just call me by my name!"

The Xi family father and son were stunned when they heard this, thinking that maybe this young Master Yan was bewitched by the beautiful woman!

How could a powerful and prestigious young man be so polite to an embroiderer whom he had never met before?

Qing He smiled slightly and said, "How dare I accept this."

Yan Shixun suddenly turned around and said to Xi Yuanwai: "Can I have a private chat with Miss Yao? My father asked me to talk to Miss Yao alone about some matters related to embroidery..."

Mr. Xi was startled at first, then he quickly apologized with a smile: "Okay! Okay! Please do as you please, sir!"

Having said that, he and his son and others retreated, and considerately closed the door before leaving.

After the father and son arrived at the study, Xi Tianci quietly asked, "Dad, did you feel that something was wrong when Master Yan saw Miss Yao just now?"

Mr. Xi nodded and said, "Well, you noticed it too?"

Xi Tianci asked doubtfully, "They seem to know each other! But logically, how could a noble descendant know an embroiderer from Shunzhao Kingdom?"

Mr. Xi shook his head and said, "I don't know either! Well, let's take it one step at a time! I hope we made the right bet this time! In the future, it will only benefit us to spend more time with Lord Yan, not harm..."

Xi Tianci nodded and said, "Well, luckily you rescued her back then. This can be regarded as a reward for our kindness!"

Mr. Xi ordered, "Tell the butler to go to the kitchen and see how the banquet is prepared. This is the first time Master Yan has come here, and we don't know what he likes to eat. Go ask his attendants!"

"Well, I'll go right away."

Xi Tianci turned around and left in a hurry.

Xi Yuanwai pondered in his heart: "What are those two strangers talking about alone... Could it be that Master Yan has taken a fancy to Qing He? Impossible... Although Qing He is very pretty, Master Yan has seen all kinds of beauties. How could he lose his composure in public..."

On the other side, Yan Shixun looked at Qinghe tenderly and said, "Miss Yao, I don't know why, but I felt very close to you the moment I saw you..."

Qing He said softly and crisply: "Master Yan, let's talk about the pattern of the table screen!"

Yan Shixun was startled at first, then smiled and said, "Okay, okay! My father said that the emperor once mentioned a place to him, which is a palace, but judging from the layout of the house, it is not the current imperial palace..."

As he spoke, Yan Shixun began to describe the scenery and appearance of that place in detail... Finally, he said sincerely: "My father once accompanied Your Majesty in various battles. There is a very deep relationship between the monarch and the minister, so I have always wanted to give Your Majesty a unique gift. I hope Miss Yao can help him fulfill this wish!"

After hearing this, Qinghe frowned and said nothing.

She was very familiar with the place that Yan Shixun had just described, as if she had seen it somewhere before... The pavilions, towers, flowers, plants and trees all looked very familiar, as if she had been there in person!

But when she tried to recall it carefully, she felt a splitting headache! It was as if some memory was imprisoned and she couldn't remember it no matter how hard she tried...

Yan Shixun asked with great concern: "Miss Yao, what's wrong with you?"

Qing He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Master Yan, I have a headache now. Do you have anything else to add about the pattern of the table screen?"

Yan Shixun smiled and said, "That's all! My father only told me this much. If there is anything else I need to add, I will tell you later."

"Okay." Qing He stood up and said, "I'll go back and draw the draft first. You can take it back and ask Master Yan to review it. If he confirms that there is no problem, then you can bring it back."

Yan Shixun looked at her gently and said, "Miss Yao, you are so thoughtful. If the painting is ready, please let me know and I will come and pick it up myself!"

Qing He nodded and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he said goodbye and left.

Yan Shixun looked at her slender figure with a very confused expression on his face... How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

When the Xi family father and son saw him coming out, they hurried forward and said with a smile: "Master Yan, the banquet is ready, now hurry up and take your seat!"

"No!" Yan Shixun smiled and declined, "I have something else to do today, so I won't bother you anymore!"

The Xi family father and son had no choice but to see him off. Finally, they stood outside the gate and respectfully watched the sedan chair disappear before they turned around and walked in together.

Xi Tianci asked curiously, "Dad, I don't know what pattern Master Yan wants to embroider. It's so secretive... He actually only told Miss Yao alone!"

Mr. Xi shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either! Maybe they want to give His Majesty a surprise! So they're afraid that outsiders will know... Oh, by the way! Tell the housekeeper later not to let the maids and old women enter Qinghe's yard casually in the future. If something confidential is embroidered on the table screen and is seen, we'll be in big trouble!"

"Yes!" Xi Tianci asked again, "Dad, will the Yan family send someone to take Qinghe over there to do embroidery?"

Mr. Xi frowned and said, "This is really possible! This little girl is not simple... She not only has superb embroidery skills, but also has the favor and appreciation of Master Yan. Maybe she will be able to marry into a wealthy family in the future..."

……

Three days later, Qinghe drew the pattern.

After Yan Shixun showed it to his father, Lord Yan praised with surprise: "That's right! It's exactly as your majesty and I described it!"

The drawing depicted a towering palace with carved beams and painted rafters, and it was magnificent. A reserved-looking young man stood under a big tree, gazing at a beautifully dressed girl beside him with eyes full of admiration.

The identities of the two seem to be both master and servant and playmates, which is very strange, and this is exactly the scene that Lord Yan has heard the emperor describe to him more than once!

The next day.

Yan Shixun said to Qinghe with a cheerful face, "Miss Yao, my father said that the pattern you drew is exactly the same as what he described! I hope you can embroider it as soon as possible. He wants to give His Majesty a surprise."

Qing He smiled and said, "Yes."

When the Xi family father and son thought about how they would be able to have a relationship with the royal family in the future, they could not help but attach great importance to Qinghe's embroidery. Not only did they clean up a quiet little courtyard for her, they also sent maids to ask her what she wanted to eat every day, and then go back to ask the kitchen to cook it for her in different ways.

With Qinghe working day and night, the table screen was soon embroidered!

After Lord Yan sent someone to take it away, he carefully presented it the next day!

As a result, the emperor kept him at the next morning court session and said, "My dear Lord Yan, I really like the gift you gave me..."

Lord Yan knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "As long as Your Majesty is happy!"

The emperor continued, "But I wonder where the embroiderer of this table screen is now? I want to meet her!"
