Chapter Seventy-One: King Xiao is benevolent
After a quarter of an hour, Zhu'er and Lan Fu came in with the scroll. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
When Concubine Shu saw it, she tilted her head and looked at Emperor Wei weakly, and said with a smile: "The queen mother said that the winter scenery of Qionglin Garden is bleak, and she specially left a painting of Qu Zhaoxun, this inscription is 'winter and spring scenery'!"
Wei Di said: "The queen mother is not so tricky, this must be the way you came up to promote narrowness, just play tricks on people, and also involve the queen mother." β
"The concubine doesn't care, what the queen mother wants, the concubine naturally has to try to get it. This is filial piety!"
I know in my heart that Concubine Shu is already weaving a net in advance, in case it is not the winter and spring picture that the Queen Mother said at the beginning, Concubine Shu can use the rhetoric of "unfilial piety" to close the net.
Seeing that the Queen Mother looked at the scroll in Zhu'er's hand with some expectation, she got up and motioned for Lan Fu and Zhu'er to slowly unfold the scroll in front of everyone.
There was no one in the hall who made a sound.
Emperor Wei was casually talking to Concubine Ding about the five princes, but at this time, he also stopped, and looked intently at the long scroll opened in front of them.
The painting is the scenery of Qionglin Garden, the water is thin and the mountains are cold, the grass and trees are withering, and it is the winter scenery.
Concubine Shu was about to speak, but swallowed back again.
For she had already seen that the painting was a beautiful winter scene, but there were still a number of figures walking and frolicking in the landscape, and a dozen or so children were in different moods: chasing kites, or fighting grass, or boating and fishing, very lively, and the children on the pavilion were playing games, or stroking the piano, or sitting around a kind old lady, pinching their shoulders and hammering their knees. Some distance away from the pavilion, the three palace concubines of the Ming ** people are leaning on the railing of the water pavilion, looking at the lake together - but the reflection of a peach blossom tree in the lake water. Behind them was a middle-aged man in a yellow robe, smiling at everyone in the garden. Between the eyebrows, there are seven or eight points of the appearance of the emperor.
Although the whole scroll is a winter scene, because of the warm interaction and happy appearance between the characters, it makes people feel relaxed and comfortable, and the spring breeze is blowing.
Emperor Wei laughed when he saw it, and said to the Queen Mother: "What does the Queen Mother think?"
The Queen Mother was already smiling, took a closer look, and said, "It's more lively than Concubine Qu's painting." β
Concubine Qu also smiled: "The queen mother is the queen mother, and it will take several turns to praise people." Yin Zhu thinks that Xiaoguan's brushwork lines are delicate, and they are more agile than the painters of Danqing Pavilion, and the most rare thing is the characters and layout in this painting, it is difficult for her to think about it at a young age, she is really smart. In this way, the queen mother's "Winter and Spring Scene" can be regarded as available. β
Concubine Ding said strangely beside her: "It's really called this name, I feel full of spring when I look at it from the side." β
Concubine Shu pursed her lips, stretched out her slender jade finger and pointed at the peach blossom in the painting, "Everything else is okay, but what's the matter with this peach blossom, how can there be peach blossoms in winter, this is a failure to ruin the whole painting!"
I glanced at the Queen Mother and replied respectfully: "Concubine Niangniang, this is the spring scene in the heart of the beauty in the painting, expressed through the reflection of the lake, as long as the years are quiet, there is affection in the heart, and the family is harmonious, it is in the cold and the north wind is howling in the wax moon, which is also like being in the bright spring." β
Concubine Qu said: "This is exactly the method of bringing reality with fiction. β
Seeing that Emperor Wei was very interested in walking up to the painting to enjoy it carefully, Concubine Shu turned her head and said nothing more.
The Queen Mother's eyes fell on me for a while, and she said, "Qu's words are good." Only when the family is in harmony can we have a spring in six years. You're not very old, but you're a bit hilly. No wonder Sheng Yao spoils you. The mourning family was afraid that you were a fox before, and you brought the benevolent good grandson of the mourning family, but now they are relieved. β
He also instructed Gonggong Wan to send the painting to Danqing Pavilion, and after it was framed, it was sent to be hung in the dormitory as soon as possible.
It seems that the Queen Mother is satisfied. My heart slowly relaxedβthe errand was finally over.
The Queen Mother glanced at Emperor Wei, "The mourning family knows that you spoil the prince, but you can't ignore the other sons." Speaking of which, Shengyang, you should also take care of it, it's really unorthodox. In the long run, who can help him in the future, who can protect my Sheng's country......"
"Queen Mother, I know. There are still some important folds in the imperial study that have not been approved, and I have passed first. Come back another day to talk to the queen mother. Emperor Wei directly interrupted the Queen Mother and left in a hurry.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother knew that Emperor Wei didn't want to hear her say that the prince was immoral, so she only sighed heavily.
Concubine Shu made fun on the side, praising the rare color of the mutton fat hosta on the head of the Queen Mother, and asked the Queen Mother to reward her, and after seven or eight sentences, the Queen Mother was happy.
I glanced at Concubine Qu, and the two of them got up together to say goodbye to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother said with a smile: "Qu's paintings are good, what good do you want to be rewarded by the mourning family?"
I was slightly stunned, isn't this painting a punishment, it's good to be happy to reward nature, but how can I say I want something. What I really want is for my Gu clan to return to its original state, this reward can't be given by the Queen Mother, and it is impossible for me to bring it up at this time. Then he said respectfully: "The Queen Mother's liking is Xiaoguan's blessing." What's more, the prince is a filial person, if he knows that the queen mother has a good eye for Xiaoguan's paintings, she can only be happier. Xiaoguan didn't dare to take credit for rewards. β
The Queen Mother really smiled and waved me and Concubine Qu away.
Out of Ci'an Palace, Concubine Qu glanced back at Ci'an Palace in the twilight, shook her head and said: "The Queen Mother is so old, where would she be so biased in her early years." Today's incident, Concubine Shu sent people to keep an eye on the first, deliberately concealed and misled the last, and the Queen Mother did not pursue it. It's chilling. β
I smiled faintly: "It's just a matter of intimacy." Can't you see through it? β
After curtsiding, he parted from Concubine Qu on the fork in the road. She returned to Yuxiu Palace and didn't mention it.
I took Lan Fu and Zhu'er unhurriedly towards Kunning Palace, Lan Fu smiled: "It turns out that Zhaoxun is so good at painting, and the queen mother said that if the painting is not good, she went to invite the emperor to intercede in front of the queen mother, and you can't really be punished by the queen mother." I don't want to, I'm completely worried about it. β
I let out a sigh of relief, and was about to ask her if she had been injured by being pulled and thrown to the ground by the guards before, when the sound of a chariot opening the way came from behind her.
Turning his head, he saw that Concubine Ding was coming. So he took two maids to avoid the side of the road.
My heart moved, at that time, Concubine Qu and I couldn't get out, and the maid couldn't leave to report to the queen, the situation in the queen mother's palace was unknown, I only raised my voice to say that the concubine had overpassed, thinking that I had alarmed the people in the nearest palace, and there was always someone who could reach the queen. I don't want to, but she and Wei Di came together.
It seems that my previous deliberate dispute at the gate of Hanzhang Hall really made the guards outside the hall report to her, but I don't know if she was worried that the Queen Mother would make trouble there, so she invited Emperor Wei to help intentionally, or did she add fuel to the fire.
