096 - Little cannon fodder

"It's all some clumsy work, which makes the Queen Mother laugh. Ye Xuexi didn't dare to ask for credit, and said very modestly.

"If Ye Zhaoyi is free one day, she will come to the Shouhe Palace of the mourning family to paint a picture for the mourning family, but when you come, you have to send someone to come and inform you, so that the mourning family can prepare for it. The Queen Mother covered her lips and teeth with a handkerchief and smiled faintly, there was a hint of charm that still existed.

Where did Ye Xuexi dare to say no, she could only nod and flatter by the way, "The Queen Mother's skin is as white as snow, and she is so young and beautiful, even if she doesn't prepare, it is also an extraordinary posture, but I'm afraid that Xuexi will not be able to draw one-thousandth of the Queen Mother's appearance." ”

The Queen Mother smiled, but did not speak.

"It's the first time Wanying has heard of it, so cousin, you can still draw. Sun Wanying showed a surprised expression and looked at Ye Xuexi with admiration.

Ye Xuexi just bowed slightly.

"Miss, don't you also know how to paint? In our Qiyang City, who doesn't know that the young lady who is too guarded has a great painting skill!" Sun Wanying also had a personal maid by her side, and after hearing Sun Wanying's words, her face showed a trace of disdain, and then she hurriedly rushed forward to praise her.

"Xiao Yu, this is the palace, don't be presumptuous!" Sun Wanying scolded her in a low voice.

Xiao Yu suddenly closed her mouth and looked at her young lady with a look of being wronged.

"Today is a family dinner, so you don't have to be so restrained. The Queen Mother glanced at her and didn't take it to heart.

Sun Wanying hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you for the Queen Mother's magnanimity, it's just that this servant of my family is too outspoken, if she doesn't discipline her now, she will definitely teach others to bully her in the future." She said lightly, her tone slightly serious, but it was obviously meaningful.

The Queen Mother nodded, as if she agreed with her words, "The straightforwardness of the heart shows that this maid has no scheming, but this temperament is indeed easy to teach people to bully, and it is not appropriate to stay by your side, according to the mourning family, it is better to put your maid next to the mourning family first, and the mourning family will let Mama Li discipline and discipline her for a few days, which will definitely smooth out her temperament, you see, can you agree?"

Put it next to the Queen Mother?

Ye Xuexi held the teacup in her hand for a moment, raised her head and deliberately glanced at Sun Wanying's expression, surprised, but surprised.

"The Queen Mother is willing to let Mama Li discipline this maid in my family, and Wanying naturally can't ask for it. She knelt down gratefully to thank the Queen Mother for her grace.

Looking at the personal maid Xiao Yu again, the joy on her face was unbearable, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, ready to move.

Although Mrs. Ye was not good at guessing her thoughts, she had already seen some clues at this time, and her hand holding the handkerchief was secretly exerting force under her sleeve.

In the future, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer Xi'er.

Later, Xiao Yu was really sent to the Queen Mother's side, and was disciplined by the Queen Mother's personal grandmother, until Sun Wanying was sealed as Jieyu by Murong Fu's holy decree before returning to her side.

At that time, she was painting a portrait of her in the Queen Mother's Shouhe Palace.

"The mourners have never seen those things from you. The Queen Mother is wearing a purple palace dress, three layers inside and three layers outside, which looks very complicated, but the fabric looks really precious, the skirt is lavender, the blouse is embroidered with gold peony patterns to look graceful and luxurious, reflecting her skin as white as snow, and the delicate makeup makes her already young face look no more than thirty years old.

I heard that this palace dress was worn by the Queen Mother for the first time, because it was when she first entered the palace and was named Concubine Hui, the first emperor gave it to her, and she has been cherishing it all these years and has never taken it out to wear it.

"Back to the Queen Mother, this is a necessary thing for the concubines to sketch, this paper is thickened, not easy to break, this is given by the emperor to the concubines. Ye Xuexi set up a shelf in the Shouhe Palace, and glued the paper to the shelf with rice paste, because there was no drawing board and clips, so it could only be used in this way.

The Queen Mother sat upright, and the white jade vase next to her was inserted with a delicate peony, but under her appearance, she could only be reduced to a foil.

This queen mother, at this age, is still so charming, it is not difficult to imagine how gorgeous she was when she was young, but it is a pity that the first emperor has always had only one in his heart, I don't know who the concubine is, but no one has ever mentioned her name in this palace.

"Fu'er is still looking for these things for you, it seems that the mourning family is wrong. The Queen Mother suddenly smiled and said with some annoyance.

Ye Xuexi didn't understand what she meant by this smile, she was wrong?

"The concubine was stupid and didn't understand what the queen mother meant. Her hands never stopped, carefully sketching the outlines on the paper.

"The mourning family originally thought that for you, Fu'er should be like other concubines in the palace, fresh for a while, and after that, but now, according to the mourning family, it doesn't seem to be like that, Fu'er is interested in you, otherwise, I wouldn't go to such great lengths to find those weird things for you. The Queen Mother's eyes were slightly cold, her voice was very light, and she looked at her as if she was looking at someone else.

Ye Xuexi knew that the Queen Mother had always disliked her, what was the reason, she didn't know, maybe it was because she was Mrs. Ye's daughter, but why did she tell her this? Did she want to tell her that Murong Fu liked her?

And the way she looked at her, there was a kind of coldness and resentment.

Didn't the Queen Mother regard her as the concubine who was the only favorite of the emperor back then?

Ye Xuexi was shocked, feeling that he had invisibly become cannon fodder.

"The concubine can't guess the emperor's thoughts, but she just hopes to serve the emperor with all her heart. Ye Xuexi decided that it would be better not to say anything explosive, just be polite.

The Queen Mother didn't say anything, just looked at her.

looks not stunning, in this harem, it even looks a little ordinary, Fu'er may really be just a moment of freshness, and when Sun Wanying enters the palace, her attention will be diverted.

"Tell the mourners about when you were a child. The Queen Mother asked Mama Li to bring in some pastries.

This long time spent on painting can be a bit boring without something to do.

But do these mothers and sons like to listen to other people's stories and have fun by themselves?

"The concubine has lived in the countryside since she was a child, and the life in the countryside is simple, but there is nothing interesting about it, and the concubine is worried that saying it will make the queen mother laugh. Ye Xuexi really doesn't want to tell a story, not to mention that she has no story to tell at all, and it takes brainpower and attention to make it up on the spot, doesn't it? What's more, she is still painting her portrait now! It's hard for her to dress so grandly today, if the painting is ugly and offends her, wouldn't she want to look good?

"If the Queen Mother is bored, why don't you find Lady Zhao to play chess with you? Didn't Cousin Wanying give the Queen Mother a pair of exquisite children?" Ye Xuexi suddenly remembered such a thing, and hurriedly found something for her to do.

was so little by her, the queen mother's face showed a trace of realization, so she listened to her words and asked Mama Li to announce Zhao Xian over.

Since Zhao Xian came over, the Queen Mother has not only focused on her body and asked questions, and she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
