"If your eyesight isn't good, you might not even see it!" Zi Su said, her eyes shining.
"Really? Such an incredible skill!"
Xia Ruqing sighed sincerely.
She still couldn't quite believe that this thing, which looked like it was made of semi-transparent glass, was actually embroidered.
So she cautiously reached out and touched it; it was indeed silky smooth and elastic.
"It really is embroidered with silk threads!"
"With threads so fine, I guess it must have taken years to finish!"
Zi Su quickly corrected her.
"More than just a few years?"
"A friend of mine works in the Embroidery Workshop, and she said this screen of Fish Playing with Lotus Leaves took a full eleven years for ten embroideresses to complete!"
"The hardships of the process need not be mentioned!"
"And this silk isn't ordinary silk; it's a kind of Ice Silk from the Western Regions' Tianshan Mountain!"
"Only the threads produced by this type of silkworm can achieve such a transparent, watery texture!"
