The Competition
Chenglei spent the following days in dilemma. Since his wife asked him not to kill those women, he didn't want to kill them but whenever he saw the embroidery his wife made, he felt utterly conflicted.
He couldn't blame his wife who tried hard these past few days. But there are certain things even someone like his wife cannot master or even be average at. His wife who couldn't even grasp the concept of embroidery for two decades even under the patient teachings of her mother, cannot be expected to master it in two weeks. Certainly her skills would never match those women who grew up only learning and mastering those useless skills.
The competition was arranged in the Imperial Palace since it was the concubine celebration process for the Prince.
