Qiu Ying learned some needlework skills, but Xiao Yi pretended to be sick and stayed at home. When he had nothing to do, he passed the time by learning needlework from his maid.

This practice lasted more than five years...

She was trapped in a cage all day long and did not have to work for a living. The five years of practice were far longer than the ten years for a normal person. Practice makes perfect, and she developed superb embroidery skills. From a small embroidered handkerchief and pillow towel, to later making

Clothes are all very comfortable.

Xiao Yilaan gently bit off the thread, spread out the clothes he had sewn, made gestures in front of him, and said with a bit of joy in his tone: "How is it?"

Qiu Ying looked shocked, with a bit of hesitation on her face, and said: "The second lady is beautiful, and she looks good in anything she wears, but..." She paused and said softly: "Doesn't this dress look a little unlucky?

?”

The clothes made by Xiao Yilai are made with fine needles and superb craftsmanship. The fabrics are also high-quality silk smuggled from Goryeo, so they cannot be ugly no matter what.

But in Qiu Ying's eyes, although the clothes made by Xiao Yilai are not plain and plain, they are somewhat similar, making people think of them in that way. They can be said to be filial clothes, but they don't have the simplicity of filial piety, so they are essentially different from filial piety clothes.

Xiao Yilai chuckled and said: "No, as long as he likes it."

Dading Mansion Palace.

Luo Youdu met with Ma Dechen and Xing Baopu.

Ma Dechen is the chief historian of Dading Prefecture appointed by Luo Youdu, and Xing Baopu has been promoted to Sima of Dading Prefecture. The two are now the first and second leaders of Dading Prefecture. As for Zhang Yong, he is obsessed with education and is unwilling to serve as an official. He is helping to appease Dading.

After he became a commoner in the government, he continued to teach. However, because of Zhang Yong's merits, his younger brother Zhang Qi got a position as a meritorious officer in the army.

Ma Dechen grew up in Khitan, but when he entered the Central Plains and became a Jinshi, his heart naturally turned to Dayu. He was also accustomed to understanding the customs and culture of Khitan, so he was transferred to Dading Prefecture.

Ma Dechen and Xing Baopu are both good ministers. The former is good at governing, while the latter punishes severely, which is an excellent combination.

The two of them each reported to Luo Youdu the situation in Dading Mansion.

Luo Youdu listened very carefully. Dading Prefecture was the first pilot project of Han-Qidan co-governance. Many policies were a combination of the policies of the Dayu court and the policies of the Khitan, or were newly promulgated and tried systems.

There are inevitably many problems, which need to be found and then solved one by one.

Ma Dechen and Xing Baopu found many problems during the implementation process and reported them one by one.

Luo Youdu wrote them down one by one, and revised them directly if they were urgent. If they were not urgent or serious, he took them to Bianjing for discussion with the officials.

The two stayed from afternoon until dusk before leaving.

Luo Youdu had been busy all afternoon, and his stomach growled with hunger. He was about to pass on the order to have a meal, but he heard news from outside the palace that Xiao Yilai was asking for an audience.

"Let her in!"

Luo Youdu didn't think much and asked Xiao Yilai to come in.

Along the way, he was taken care of by Xiao Yilai.

Luo Youdu led his army on an expedition. As an example, he spent most of his time eating and living with the soldiers in the military camp. At most, he opened a small stove, which was not too much, and only had one or two side dishes.

Now that I have returned in triumph, I am a little less particular.

Xiao Yilai arranged a lot of Khitan delicacies for him along the way, and the taste was not bad.

"I have met Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yilai, dressed in white, walked into the hall lightly.
Chapter completed!
