Chapter 130: I am terrified!
The embroidery needles in their hands were spinning quickly, and in just a few moments, everyone's embroidery works had begun to take shape.
Looking at the embroidery needle in her hand, Shen Wantang stared in amazement.
I don't want to stand out, but I can't lose the face of the Shen family. After thinking about it, I decided to embroider a word...
After a while, the maid at the side rang the bell, and everyone put down the embroidery in their hands, waiting for the palace servants to collect it and hand it over to the Queen Mother and the Queen for inspection.
Shen Wantang looked around and saw the patterns embroidered by the people around her, and she felt relieved.
"Mother, this plum blossom embroidery is so fresh and refined, and the snow on it is also lifelike." The Queen picked out a piece of embroidery and handed it to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother took a look, just smiled and nodded, without saying anything.
Among all the flowers and birds, there was a pair of embroidered words that made the empress dowager pause for a moment.
"Who embroidered this word 'Fu'?"
The nanny beside her just glanced at the empress dowager, then looked up and asked.
For a moment, there was a crowd of people below again.
"This is the first time I've heard of embroidery and writing. It's really rare."
"I'm afraid he is deliberately trying to attract the Queen Mother's attention. This person is really scheming. I want to see who he is."
It is true that the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it will come.
The nanny looked around and saw that no one answered, so she asked again.
Shen Wantang then stood up, still appearing strong and calm: "Your Majesty, this is my embroidery."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen Mother immediately smiled with satisfaction.
"Oh? Why did everyone else embroider flowers and birds, but you only embroidered the word "Fu"?" The empress dowager raised her eyebrows. She was quite satisfied with the person she had chosen personally.
Upon seeing this, the Queen completely understood what the Emperor meant and tactfully put down the plum blossom painting in her hand.
"Your servant...Your servant is not good at housekeeping. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Nowadays, making up lies is deceiving the king, so it is better to tell the truth.
As soon as the words fell, the hall fell into silence. Everyone was so frightened that they dared not make a sound, not even to breathe, and all looked at the empress dowager's expression.
The Queen Mother's face first froze, and she stared at Shen Wantang who was kneeling in the palace, without saying a word for a long time.
"Good!" Suddenly, a burst of cheers spread throughout the palace.
Everyone was shocked and looked around in panic, not understanding what was going on.
Even the usually intelligent Shen Wantang couldn't figure out what the Queen Mother meant and looked up in confusion.
"You are a very honest child. You didn't tell lies to deceive me. You are not good at embroidery, but you can still complete this embroidery. It shows that you are determined. Yes, I like it!"
The Queen Mother was overjoyed and her laughter echoed throughout the palace.
These words shocked Shen Wantang, all the officials and their wives present, and even more so the Queen beside her.
The Queen really didn't understand why the Queen Mother liked Shen Wantang so much.
There were rumors in the palace before, saying that she was a seductive woman who could seduce the emperor. If she were to enter the harem now, there would be no peace in the harem.
"What good things did the Queen Mother get? She is so happy."
Suddenly, there was a loud bell sound outside the hall. As soon as everyone turned their heads, they fell to their knees.
I saw a bright yellow figure slowly approaching.
"Your Majesty, your humble servant pays respects to you." For a moment, the hall was extremely quiet, with only the voices of officials and their wives echoing in the hall.
"This is a rare treasure, Chuan'er." The Queen Mother couldn't stop smiling and grabbed Ji Xunchuan's hand.
"This Shen Wantang is a man of character, eloquent, and has a very smart mind. I think it's time to add some new people to your harem. Why not, call Shen Wantang and have her join the harem!"
The Queen Mother's heart and eyes were filled with joy. She made a prompt decision and spoke without disguising anything.
Ji Xunchuan was overjoyed, but his face remained calm. He stared at the Queen Mother in front of him for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Oh? Does Shen Wantang really make my mother so happy?"
As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, the faces of all the officials and their wives turned pale. Shen Ying clenched her teeth and clenched her fists tightly.
If they were not in the Queen Mother's bedroom, she would have jumped up and punched Shen Wantang.
"What kind of luck does Shen Wantang have! She has made military achievements and disaster relief contributions, and now she can even be recruited into the harem as a concubine!" Shen Ying complained in her heart, raised her head dimly, and stared at Shen Wantang with sinister eyes, as if she wanted to stare a big hole in her body.
"Your Majesty, I am terrified!"
Shen Wantang knelt on the ground, leaned over and kowtowed, his voice echoing throughout the palace.
When these words fell, the empress dowager was really shocked.
A flash of joy flashed across Ji Xunchuan's eyes, and then a chill filled his eyes.
Once these words were spoken, they offended the Queen Mother. Naturally, Shen Wantang was ready to be criticized and drowned in spit.
"I am a humble servant. It is an honor for me to be appreciated by the Empress Dowager. But now you want me to enter the palace as a concubine. I am really terrified! I have been naughty since I was young, and I have nothing to do with the ladies of a noble family. It is a small matter for me to be infamous, but it is a big matter for me to damage the reputation of the royal family!"
Shen Wantang spoke each word with a powerful voice, devaluing himself as worthless, but he was also protecting himself.
After these words, the joy on the Queen Mother's face disappeared. She slowly walked forward and looked down at Shen Wantang: "Shen Wantang, do you know what the consequences will be if you say these words today!"
"I am willing to be punished!"
Shen Wantang was neither humble nor arrogant, and was extremely calm.
After these words were spoken, even Yue Fu who was standing beside her broke into a cold sweat for her - if she wasn't careful, she would be committing a capital crime and would lose her head!
Hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled sarcastically: "Okay, okay!"
"Ms. Shen is truly neither humble nor overbearing, and she is resolute and unyielding!"
The Queen Mother spoke in a low voice, but every word she spoke sarcastically pierced into Shen Wantang's heart.
"Since Miss Shen is so ambitious that she doesn't even want to be a concubine in the palace, I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of powerful person your husband is!"
The Queen Mother's expression changed, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she left after saying something sarcastic.
At this point, Shen Wantang finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart.
After coming out of the Queen Mother's Palace, Yue Fu ran after her: "Sister, you really scared me to death just now..."
Shen Wantang breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace, and smiled calmly: "It's okay."
"Sister, you have to think it through carefully. From now on, you will definitely not be able to find a marriage in the capital." Yue Fu frowned.
As a good sister, she was naturally worried about Shen Wantang's future situation; but as Xia Huai'en's sister, she had kept silent about what was mentioned last night.
Shen Wantang smiled generously: "It doesn't matter. There is more to do in this world than just getting married."
At that time, all the officials and their wives followed Shen Wantang quietly, pointing and talking about something.
It is not enough to just talk about Shen Wantang, we also have to talk about Shen Ying as well.
