Chapter Fifty-Nine: Winter and Spring

Fortunately, the wait was not too long, and the inner prison came out and led us in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The queen wore a new bright yellow shirt, looking like a homely dress, and when she saw that we had saluted in a proper manner, she let Gong'e take a seat.

Ruan Liangdi and I sat half-sideways on the embroidery bench.

The queen said slowly: "I already know about what happened to Concubine Shu just now. Although she is benevolent and peaceful, people like her have never known etiquette. Refute it, refute it. ā€

I said softly: "However, the concubine heard that Concubine Shu went to the palace of the Queen Mother. I'm afraid ......"

"It's okay. Later, she will sue the Queen Mother, and she will be rude first. The Queen Mother is a sensible person and will not fail to distinguish between right and wrong. The queen looked determined and did not take it to heart.

I was relieved to enjoy my tea.

When the queen saw it, there was a satisfied look in her eyes, "Xiaoguan's actions are quite in the style of everyone, and he looks gentle and polite on weekdays, and he doesn't want to be at a critical juncture, but he is fierce." After the Double Ninth Festival, once I talked about you, the saint also praised you for your courage and eloquence. As he spoke, he made people serve a snack.

"I heard that you and Concubine Qu are distant relatives in the mansion?" the queen took a sip of the teacup and asked.

I glanced at Ruan Liangdi, decided to tell the queen truthfully, and said with a light smile: "That's the princess lifting Xiaoguan." said to be a distant relative, but in fact, he had never moved around before. ā€

The queen understood.

"You're a clever guy. There is a sentence to remind you, Concubine Qu in the palace, when the first emperor was still there, she and the queen mother did not get along very well. If you see the Queen Mother one day, it's hard to mention this stubble. ā€

I thank the queen for being careful and giving me some tips. However, since the princess helped her in front of people last time, she said that she was a cousin of Qu Shilang's mansion, and in the eyes of outsiders, she naturally shared honor and disgrace. Could it be that she only has the maintenance and benefits of the princess, and she will not admit it because of trouble?

The queen is the closest relative of King Xiao, so it doesn't hurt to tell her the truth. If you tell others the same thing, even if it is the truth, most of them will be treated as a grass on the wall and will not be looked down upon.

Thinking like this in his heart, he only nodded slightly at the queen's instructions.

When the queen saw this, she sighed lightly: "The excerpt of the military department has arrived at the Shengshang, and I heard that Yao'er has successfully gathered troops from Shangjun and galloped to Shuofang, planning to set up camp there and confront the Turkic army that has moved from Wuwei to Lingwu City." ā€

I recalled in my mind the map of the city that I had seen in King Xiao's study before: Shuofang, which seemed to be further north of Lingwu. Could it be that King Xiao plans to copy from the back? But in that case, it will be the Turkic army that has penetrated deep into the territory of Daqi to suffer from the enemy, isn't King Xiao. To the north of Shuofang, there is no barrier, and the Turks can also send troops from their royal tent to support, and then fight with Lingwu's army to attack King Xiao before and after.

Just thinking wildly, the queen told again: "There is no master mother in your house now, and the prince can't let go of the two of you, so he entrusted you to me." And how could you not entrust the Xiao Wangfu to the two of you. Ask domestic servants to step up patrols and assign more manpower every day. Give me Xiao Wangfu to take care of it. Yao'er is not in the mansion, it doesn't mean that those people can stop the right and wrong of not giving birth to Xiao Wangfu. ā€

I responded with Ruan Liangdi.

After gossiping so much for half a day, seeing that it was not too early, he planned to retire to the queen, so he glanced at Ruan Liangdi a few times.

Ruan Liangdi understood, and just opened her mouth to call: "Queen Mother,......"

Outside the hall, a palace lady suddenly hurriedly entered the hall, and reported clearly: "Niangniang, the queen mother's palace is in charge of the internal supervisor Wan Gonggong is here." ā€

When the queen heard this, she called for a word to come in.

Seeing that the two of us were a little at a loss, the queen said comfortingly: "It's okay." After all, the two of you collided with Concubine Shu on the road today, and the Queen Mother always wants everyone to know that she has never been confused, and she can protect her niece. Since there is a message, most of it is insignificant. This seizure was better. Otherwise, it will be more troublesome to worry about it in the future. ā€

After a while, a well-faced, elderly inner eunuch came in, first saluted the queen, and then solemnized his posture, and said: "The queen mother's mouth, the autumn and winter scenery of Qionglin Garden is bleak, and King Xiao Zhaoxun Qu's family stays in the palace, and draws the winter and spring scenery of Qionglin Garden." ā€

The queen was slightly surprised when she heard this, but after only a moment, she changed her expression and changed to a kind smile. smiled: "Why don't you follow the Queen Mother's instructions!"

When I saw this situation, I had to talk about it first, so I said: "Xiaoguan respectfully obeys the decree of the Queen Mother." ā€

said in my heart: Jiang is still old and spicy, which is really an unbreakable truth.

This decree, if it is said to be a punishment, it is really too elegant, no one can say that the queen mother let her granddaughter-in-law draw a picture is a punishment, and those who don't know the situation will feel that it is to give the junior dignity.

If it is not a punishment, it can stay in the palace, which is really not a comfortable thing for ordinary foreign women. What's more, I want someone to draw. If I don't, what can I do? That is, I am really a distant relative of Qu Shilang's Mansion, could it be that Qu Daqian, the old man of Shilang's Mansion, used to be a court painter, and the descendants of a distant relative of three thousand miles in his clan must be good at painting? And he is just a little lady.

If I don't paint well, I will lose the face of Concubine Qu, reminding her of her humble background, and even the skills of the family back then were laughed at. I'm just painting, and it's always not comfortable and free to be confined in the palace.

What bothers me the most is how to stay in the palace and inquire about my brother's news.

However, these dissatisfaction can not be revealed at all, and in the face of the absolute superior, obedience is the way to survive.

So, I looked up at the father-in-law with a smile and asked, "It's just that I don't know how big the banner the queen mother wants? Is it a bucket square or a long scroll, a fine brush or a freehand?"

That father-in-law didn't mean that I not only didn't shirk at all, but also asked, "This...... Hawkers, Zhao Xun pondered by himself. ā€

I heard that he didn't show his mouth, and no matter how impatient I was, I had to smile and say: "Then please ask my father-in-law to reply to the Queen Mother, landscape paintings have always been based on long scrolls, and Xiaoguan prepared it first." If the Queen Mother has different instructions, please let your father-in-law inform her again. ā€

I sneered in my heart, since the Queen Mother will not explain it first, then I will make it clear first, and the province will pick a thorn from this when the time comes.

Seeing that he couldn't send me away easily, the father-in-law let me push the problem back, and replied without yin or yang: "Then we have to wait until our family returns to the Queen Mother and the Lady Concubine to know." However, before our family came, Concubine Shu mentioned it to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also agreed. That is, you have to be immersive to paint like the real Qionglin Garden. On the edge of the crane viewing platform in Qionglin Garden, there is a water pavilion, where Zhaoxun lives, so that he can draw a picture that the queen mother is satisfied with. ā€

After speaking, he bowed to the queen and said goodbye.

When he was far away, we turned to look at the Queen.

The queen asked with some uncertainty: "Xiaoguan is good at painting?"

I bowed slightly, "I've studied for some days before, and I can barely come up with one." ā€

Ruan Liangdi looked at me with some concern, "It is common for you to have some skills in learning calligraphy, but I have never seen you touch a paintbrush." Since the Queen Mother picked this matter, if you are not sure, it is better to take advantage of the crime now, but I am afraid that there will be less real punishment. ā€

She paused slightly and glanced at the queen, "What's more, the inscription of this "Winter and Spring Scene" is really a bit unreasonable, the four seasons are orderly, winter is winter scenery, how can you draw spring scenes." ā€
