Chapter 28.1 - Number one talented girl
Chapter 28.1 - Number one talented girl
When the painting scroll opened up, a picture of a dragon totem appeared before everyone’s eyes, breathtakingly dazzling which caused everyone to gasp in amazement.
The painting showed a dragon soaring above the Nine Heavens, flying above the clouds and extremely vivid, as if a real dragon was about to appear in front of everyone any minute now.
The painting was made of beautiful embroidery using only golden threads, the embroidery so fine and delicate that seemed to even overtake the best palace seamstresses.
Suddenly, another stunning event appeared as the Peony Garden hall’s palace lights suddenly turned off and as everyone gasped, the painting flashed the words “long life” which dazzled everyone.
This really was a breathtaking piece of work.
The palace lights turned on again and the emperor who had seen many impressive gifts, all types of strange oddities and precious treasures, couldn’t help but also be struck with awe at this gift.
His eyes that fell on Lou Lianxin were filled with more appreciation and after Lou Lianxin jumped down to kneel, couldn’t help but continue to look at the painting of the “Dragon soaring in the heavens” that was still suspended in the air.
He curiously asked, “How did the words on the painting that were embroidered in flash light?”
Lou Lianxin looked at everyone’s reaction, her heart full of pride, especially when she saw Li Jingsheng completely struck with awe and dazed.
She then threw a look full of provocation at Lou Qingwu who wasn’t far away before turning around and warmly, gently laughing.
“Reporting to the emperor, this is because when this subject-girl sewed the words “long life”, I seeped the threads in firefly powder for 7 by 7, 49 days. This way, the threads would glow in the dark to symbolise how you, the emperor, bathe all living things in your splendid light, no matter night or day.”
Lou Lianxin’s finished speaking and the emperor couldn’t help but laugh loudly.
“Hahahah, what a good mouth. This emperor is only an ordinary person, how could I s.h.i.+ne light on all living things?”
Even though he said that, who didn’t want to be wors.h.i.+pped like Buddha by everyone?
His goodwill towards Lou Lianxin went up another level.
“Which family is this miss from? Such embroidery and dance skills make even this emperor see the world in a new light! This is definitely one of the most outstanding talents in the capitol.”
Lou Lianxin became even more proud and arrogant, especially when the emperor said she was one of the most outstanding.
That was definitely one of the highest honours.
It looked like her decision at the beginning was right.
Who knew that such an unremarkable embroidery business would actually be able to create such an extraordinary piece of work?
It really was worth the one hundred silver ingots she paid.
Basking in the awe and light of everyone's appreciative gazes, Lou Lianxin arrogantly shot another look at Lou Qingwu.
So what if Lou Qingwu had a face so beautiful that it could topple cities and countries?
She was still just a good for nothing!
How could she even compare to her own rich talents and skills?
From now on, the number one talented girl of the capitol would definitely be her!
Thinking about how the emperor was still waiting for an answer, Lou Lianxin quickly, virtuously and gently replied, “This subject is the left prime minister Lou Qufeng’s second daughter, Lou Lianxin.”
“What a good “Lianxin”, the person really is like the name, deeply gaining this emperor’s heart!”
The emperor looked as if he was in a great mood so everyone tactily understood.
It seems like this time, the left prime minister had fawned over the emperor right.
They all continued to praise the left prime minister, “The left prime minister really has a good daughter,” “Miss Lianxin clearly is an extremely talented girl” ....
It was as if they had all forgotten about what had happened in front of the Vermillion Bird gate and the rumours that had spread around.
After all, even if Lou Lianxin had a bad personality, as long as she could gain the emperor’s favour, that would even out all rumours and raise her up above everything.
Lou Qingwu sat silently as if she didn’t hear the praises from all four directions.
