The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking so carefully."

Zhao Huayin said this to Yan Qi only after Dianxue and Nanny Qian had left.

"Don't be so polite. Didn't you say that we were going to work together? Then it's only right that I should be more thoughtful."

Zhao Huayin understood that Yan Qi was a prince who was in charge of the city defense camp. Even Pin Ya Ju was his property. There was no need for him to cooperate with her.

What's more, it is still unknown whether the business he and Yan Zhao are doing will be successful.

But Zhao Huayin said this out of selfish motives.

In the previous life, because of Zhou Pei, Zhao Huayin knew that the first person King Xuan would deal with was Yan Qi.

And in this life, because of some things he did, not only Zhou Pei, but also Yu Ying'er went to Prince Xuan's Palace.

Zhao Huayin was not sure whether what she did would bring new trouble to Yan Qi.

When Zhao Huayin was plotting against Yu Ying'er, she and Yan Qi had no contact with each other. But now, Zhao Huayin secretly didn't want anything to happen to Yan Qi.

If he could get closer to Yan Qi, he could also find an opportunity to remind Yan Qi to be more wary of King Xuan.

"In fact, there is no need for the prince to cooperate with me. I know that the prince has always been looking after me. In this case, I have something to remind the prince. The prince must be careful of King Xuan."

Zhao Huayin pushed the teacup in front of Yan Qi, looked into Yan Qi's eyes and spoke seriously.

Yan Qi frowned as usual. How could Zhao Huayin know about the fight between him and King Xuan?

Feeling a little undecided, Yan Qi simply kept silent and just cast a puzzled look at Zhao Huayin.

"Your Majesty, do you know why I should cooperate with you?"

Yan Qi took a sip of tea gracefully, then raised his head and looked at Zhao Huayin calmly.

"Why?"

"I just learned that Yu Ying'er, who had been kept in our Shangshu Mansion, has entered Prince Xuan's Mansion as a concubine."

Zhao Huayin sat down opposite Yan Qi and poured herself a cup of tea.

"Yu Ying'er was not tolerated by the Zhao family because she conspired with a scholar named Zhou Pei to murder me, so she decided to go to the Xuanwang Palace.

Zhou Pei was originally an aide to Prince Xuan's palace. Now that the two of them were together, they would surely take advantage of Prince Xuan's power to seek revenge.

I cooperated with the prince only to seek asylum."

Zhao Huayin made up her mind and said to Yan Qi.

Since he couldn't tell what he knew in his previous life, he could only remind Yan Qi to be careful of King Xuan in this way.

Zhao Huayin said all these words in one breath and stared at Yan Qi.

"Are you trying to say that King Xuan might help them deal with you?"

"Correct!"

"Your Highness, you must be careful of King Xuan! Now that we are together, King Xuan will definitely deal with you!"

Zhao Huayin's reasons were indeed a bit far-fetched. King Xuan would not go against Yan Qi, a prince, just for a concubine in his mansion.

Moreover, since Zhou Pei was an aide to the king, he dared not use King Xuan to avenge himself, otherwise how could King Xuan tolerate him.

But Zhao Huayin’s worry about Yan Qi was real, especially the sentence “Now we are together”.

Yan Qi could no longer hide the surging emotions in his heart when he heard these words.

Zhao Huayin is willing to take so much trouble. Does it mean that I still have a place in her heart?

Thinking of this, Yan Qi's mouth softened, gently pulling out a beautiful arc, and answered in a gentle voice,

"Okay, I'll be careful."

When Zhao Huayin heard Yan Qi's agreement, she breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved, then she put aside her previous nervousness.

He did not notice the fondness and joy that flashed across Yan Qi's eyes.

"Master, I have brought all the things."

At this time, Mu Xiao came in with Manager Lu and placed all the documents that needed Yan Qi to handle on the desk.

Seeing Zhao Huayin nearby, Mu Xiao did not hesitate to report directly to Yan Qi.

"Jun Jian sent me a message. He has already made arrangements. Please rest assured, Master."

Seeing Yan Qi nod, Mu Xiao took Manager Lu and retreated.

"Just continue what you were doing."

After Yan Qi finished speaking, he made a gesture to Zhao Huayin, indicating that Zhao Huayin should go to the embroidery frame.

Zhao Huayin saw that Yan Qi was going to handle official business here.

Originally, it was somewhat impolite for her to stay in the same room with Yan Qi, but Zhao Huayin didn't mind staying with Yan Qi.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Huayin still sat down in front of the embroidery frame, picked up the embroidery thread that had just been split and began to thread the needle and embroider.

Yan Qi was a little nervous, fearing that Zhao Huayin would not want to stay in the same room with him due to etiquette.

Seeing Zhao Huayin finally sit down and start working, Yan Qi finally felt relieved.

After this embroidery is repaired, he will probably leave for a while. Yan Qi just wants to see Zhao Huayin more before leaving.

In the following days, Yan Qi would bring the official documents to be processed to Pin Ya Ju after leaving court every day.

Zhao Huayin just thought that the day of sending gifts to Qi State was getting closer, and Yan Qi was worried, so he came to watch every day and repaired the embroidery on his hands more carefully.

"It's done!"

On this day, only Zhao Huayin's slightly excited voice was heard.

Yan Qi stood up from behind the desk and walked to the embroidery frame.

Zhao Huayin was seen gently stroking the repaired area with her slender hands.

The burned part had been cut off by Zhao Huayin and connected with brocade silk.

The original pattern of the kesi was somewhat similar to the background color of A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, but I don’t know what skills Zhao Huayin used to connect and repair it.

The repaired area turned out to have the same texture as the base image. Zhao Huayin even used brocade to make a border around the entire image to make the whole image look harmonious.

In Yan Qi's opinion, the connection is not only not abrupt, but even becomes a highlight.

Especially with the use of kesi, the originally majestic and majestic painting of rivers and mountains now has a touch of elegance.

If it were sent to Qi as a state gift, it would never lose the face of a great country.

Looking at the results of the restoration in front of him, and thinking of the inkstone screen that Zhao Huayin had sent him on his desk, Yan Qi couldn't help but ask,

"Who taught you embroidery skills? And your experience is far beyond what a girl of your age can achieve."

She learned embroidery skills since she was a child. After marrying Zhou Pei in her previous life, Zhao Huayin worked even harder to learn and practice embroidery skills. She must be very experienced.

But I can’t say this to Yan Qi.

"Does the prince know Yao Niang?"

"Are you talking about the embroidery master Yao Niang, who is known as the 'ghostly thread-wielding master'?"

The reason why Yan Qi knew Yao Niang was because all of her existing embroidery works were in the palace.

There is now a screen made by Yao Niang in Emperor Hui's study.

The rest of the things could probably only be seen in the palaces of the Empress Dowager and the Queen. Even the palace of Emperor Hui's favorite concubine did not have Yao Niang's works.

Yao Niang has disappeared since more than ten years ago. Some say that Yao Niang is dead, while others say that Yao Niang has retired and no longer touches embroidery.

I didn’t expect that Zhao Huayin would actually be Yao Niang’s disciple.

"Due to an opportunity when I was young, my master accepted me as his last disciple. He taught me everything he knew and was very strict with me. Over the years, I have probably spent more time practicing than the embroiderers in the embroidery workshop.

I have to thank my master for his strictness, which has allowed me to be average in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but not completely useless.”

Zhao Huayin's words are too modest.

Yan Qi may not understand other things, but Yao Niang’s unique skill is to use the needle as a pen and the thread as ink.

If you don't understand calligraphy and painting, you will never be able to learn Yao Niang's skills. Just looking at Zhao Huayin's embroidery, you can know that Zhao Huayin's calligraphy and painting are also unique.

Thinking of this, Yan Qi's admiration for Zhao Huayin increased even more.

Yan Qi felt honored that the person he loved was so outstanding.

However, since Zhao Huayin restored the Map of Rivers and Mountains so well, I wonder if King Xuan can still find an excuse to impeach me.
