Ruan Yan's needlework is very good. She tried double-sided embroidery. The employer thought it was very good, better than some embroidery girls in the embroidery shop.

So Ruan Yan also participated in this double-sided embroidered screen.

This is a screen presented to the Empress Dowager. The owner of the embroidery house is very careful about everything. He specially mobilized fifty embroiderers and divided them into several batches to embroider day and night.

Before embroidering, you must rinse your mouth and apply ointment on your hands to prevent your fingers from being rough and snagging, so you can rush to make this double-sided screen of "The Elegance of the Age of Prosperity".

The Empress Dowager's birthday was thirty-eighth, so she embroidered thirty-eight peonies of different shapes, which were completed on the last day of the deadline.

Su Wan came specially to inspect the goods. The double-sided peony screen was luxurious and grand. What was even more surprising was that the screen was not simply double-sided embroidery, but double-sided with three different embroideries. The patterns are different, the colors are different, and the stitches are different. Every detail is in place and there is no fault.

After paying the balance, Su Wan ordered Qi Wu and others to carefully carry them back to the mansion. Tomorrow is the Empress Dowager's birthday.

Su Wan went to the hospital, and Gu's mother held Gu Jiaojiao to nurse. While Su Wan was still treating people, Gu's mother held Gu Jiaojiao and stood at the door of the hospital to bask in the sun and let her look at the busy traffic.

While Gu Jiaojiao was eating her little finger, she stared at Su Wan's figure without blinking. She didn't cry or make trouble, and her good behavior was rare.

Mother Gu took away her little hand and slobbered from her mouthful of food: "Are you hungry, Jiaojiao? Just wait for your mother. When we Jiaojiao grow up, we must be as kind-hearted as your mother, saving lives and healing the wounded."

Gu Jiaojiao stared at Gu's mother, opened her small mouth, and made a note: "Ah~"

As if responding to Gu's mother's words.

Mother Gu was stunned for a moment, then smiled from ear to ear, "My dear grandson is so smart."

Gu Jiaojiao put her hand into her mouth again and licked it.

"Mom, take Jiaojiao to the backyard." Su Wan called out.

"Okay." Gu's mother carried the child into the hospital: "Let's go, Jiaojiao goes to find her mother."

Gu Jiaojiao grinned, revealing her pink and tender gums.

Mother Gu kissed her twice on her fair and tender face.

Su Wan changed into clean clothes, washed her hands again, and held Gu Jiaojiao to breastfeed.

"Wanwan, I won't go for the Empress Dowager's birthday tomorrow." Gu's mother had her own concerns: "Jingyun was raised by me for nine years before he recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan. It would be too objectionable for me to go. "

"It doesn't matter. If someone deliberately gossips, they will gossip whether you go or not." Su Wan comforted Gu's mother: "I'm afraid Jingyun is looking forward to seeing you."

These words touched Gu's mother's heart. After hesitating for a while, she finally agreed.

——

Early the next morning, someone came to the palace to take Gu's mother, Su Wan and Gu Jiaojiao into the palace.

Gu Baozhu was very happy to see her little niece, and she hugged her and refused to let go.

Jing Yun had to come after taking care of the government affairs, but Gu Huaizhi stopped him.

On a day like this, he should go to see the Queen Mother first.

Jing Yun naively thought that after greeting the Empress Dowager, he would be able to see his mother, sister-in-law and niece. I didn't expect to stay in the Empress Dowager's palace. I didn't have the chance to see it until I went to Feitian Pavilion to attend the birthday banquet in the evening.

The seats were far away, and they sat according to Huai's rank. Jing Yun felt aggrieved and sad, wishing that his chief assistant, who was about to retire and return to his hometown but was still clinging to him, would be thrown into the countryside to make room for his eldest brother, so that he could sit in front of him at the palace banquet in the future.

The first assistant sneezed and rubbed his nose, wondering who was thinking about him.

"Today is my mother's birthday, dear ladies, don't be formal, just feel free to do whatever you want." Jing Yun spoke and drank a cup of tea instead of wine.

The ministers raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.

The Empress Dowager looked at the new emperor who was becoming more and more stable, with a loving smile in her eyes, feeling happy and sad at the same time.

He had been restless in Ci'an Palace today. How could she not know why?

She said softly: "Let the family stay in the palace tonight."

Jing Yun's eyes suddenly lit up: "Thank you, my dear mother!"

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "Sit down, the courtiers are about to give gifts soon. Before the banquet ends, don't you want to canonize Su Wan as a first-class lady?"

Jingyun immediately sat upright.

"Gifts from hundreds of officials——"

The order was based on grade. Su Wan looked at the things everyone gave away. They were all expensive and rare. Sure enough, he agreed with Gu Huaizhi's words: if it's expensive, that's all.

Soon, Gu Huaizhi arrived to present a gift.

The chamberlains brought in the double-eyed screen and placed it in the center of the hall, attracting all the attention.
