The same moonlight, the same starry sky, but falling into the red wall and golden tile, but it is extraordinarily quiet and peaceful. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Under the dark blue night, in the north of the three gates of Donghua Gate, a richly decorated but low-key palace sits here, with red walls and golden tiles, faintly glowing with a faint yellow and warm halo.
Here, is the only bloodline of Emperor Wande and his wife Empress Yuan, the Ciqing Palace where the crown prince Xiao Ji and his wife Xu live, who are now favored by the emperor.
The dim light shines through the octagonal palace lamp hanging under the corridor, and the light of the stars is transmitted on the stone rock, and the palace people under the corridor are standing there with solemn eyebrows, and from a distance, they see two people gradually approaching, and the person in front of him is carrying a sheep's horn lamp, bowing slightly, and lighting the young man next to him, and the action is very intimate.
When they came to the corridor, the palace people were busy or bowing down, or bowing their waists, and they all said in unison: "His Royal Highness Taisun." β
The young man nodded slightly, only said a faint "um", then took off his robe and entered, and walked into the east side hall where Xu's was located steadily and slowly.
As early as when Xiao Yi first entered Cining Palace, there were already palace people who came to report to the Xu family, and at this moment, the crown princess Xu was sitting on the phoenix couch in the warm pavilion, and when she heard the words of the palace people, the corners of her lips pursed an appropriate smile, and she nodded her jaw and said, "Go ahead." β
When the palace people who came to report retreated, Xu's good-looking phoenix eyes moved down slightly, landing on a scroll scroll at hand, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, through the beaded tent, a figure could be faintly seen passing behind the carved patterned fan, and Xu Shi was about to sit up straighter and cast his gaze.
Sure enough, the young man's steady figure turned around and walked in, stopped outside the Lianzhu tent and respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Erchen greets my mother." β
Hearing this, the corners of Xu's lips were more gentle, and he leaned over slightly, and then his phoenix eyes smiled slightly, and he glanced at the palace under the tent: "Raise the curtain, between mother and son, there are not so many taboos." β
The palace people obediently bent down and gradually pulled the Lianzhu tent from it to both sides, and Xu Shi looked at the young man in front of him with satisfaction, and beckoned lightly: "Ah Yi, come." β
Xiao Yi raised his eyes slightly, facing his mother's gentle and kind gaze, his eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his lips were also filled with warmth, and he stepped forward to the bottom of Xu's phoenix couch.
But until everything was in order, he still did not see the concubine on the couch speak, only the copper-gilded enamel turn-flower gourd clock resting on the small table not far away was walking softly, making a slight and rhythmic sound.
"Father, are you alright?"
Xiao Yi's sudden voice broke the silence in the warm pavilion, and Xu's eyes melted a little warmer when he heard this, and then he tapped his jaw and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness is all right now, and it's already bed." β
Xiao Yi nodded after hearing this, thinking that since he had opened the topic, his mother should also talk to him about business, but who knew that Xu Shi just asked him to use the small snacks on the table as usual, without the slightest intention of opening up the conversation.
Xiao Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised, and with a full of doubts, he finally took the lead in opening his mouth.
"Mother is looking for her son to come over today, but what do you have to tell her son. β
As soon as the words fell, a bright smile crossed Xu's eyes, and then he said quite casually: "It's not a big deal, but I got a painting from the queen mother today, and I want you to come and evaluate it together." β
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yirao was usually quiet, and he was slightly stunned at the moment.
He knew that his mother Xu was born in a famous scholarly family and had a lot of insights in the appreciation of calligraphy and painting, but everyone knew that today's crown prince Xiao Ji and the crown princess Xu were in harmony, so if his mother had a good painting, she would only evaluate it with her father, but now she summoned him, which had to surprise him.
The Xu family on the couch naturally knew what his son was thinking, but he didn't explain much, and only glanced sideways at Lan Xi, the personal palace maid beside him, Lan Xi immediately pursed his lips and chuckled, bent down and picked up the painting scroll on Xu's couch, and carefully sent it to Xiao Yi under the seat.
Xiao Yi raised his eyes, and when he saw Xu Shi raising his jaw and signaling him to open it, he put away his surprised thoughts, still calmly took the scroll, and then held one end of the scroll in one hand, and carefully unfolded the scroll little by little.
When the person in the painting fell into his eyes little by little, he instantly understood his mother's intention to call him here, and the corners of his lips involuntarily rose.
Xu Shi took the change in the color of the young man's eyes into his eyes, and then said with a smile: "What do you think, how is this painting?" β
The young man in the seat was slightly stunned, but soon stopped his gaze on the painting again, carefully and seriously examined it, and a warm smile gradually appeared on the corner of his lips.
"Erchen thinks this painting is a good painting, but-"
Seeing Xiao Yi pause in his words, as if he was thoughtful, Xu's eyes were also slightly raised with interest when he heard the words, and he listened to him continue to speak.
"Erchen thinks that this painting only depicts the shape of a girl, but does not depict its spirit, for example, the girl's eyes, this painting is too quiet, a little less occasionally lively and cunning, it seems a bit of a fly in the ointmentββ"
When the words came to this, before Xiao Yi could continue, Xu Shi had already laughed out loud.
"You seem to know a lot about this painting. β
As for whether they understand the painting or the people in the painting, there is no need for Xu to explain, and the mother and son can not be more clear.
Lan Xi glanced at the people around him, and the palace people in the warm pavilion all bowed their heads knowingly, and then quietly retreated.
After the warm pavilion was quiet, Xu Shi leaned his elbow slightly on the armrest of the phoenix couch, looked at Xiao Yi, and smiled slightly at the corner of his lips: "This painting was painted by the queen mother, it turned out that the queen mother was the same as me, and I wanted to see what the big girl of the Gu family who was passed down very well looked like." β
When Xiao Yi heard this, the smile on the corner of his lips deepened, and then he carefully rolled up the scroll, pinched it in his hand and tilted his head slightly: "What does my mother think?"
Xu's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the young man in front of him with a smile.
can ask her son so cautiously to ask, it seems that this eldest girl of the Gu family is indeed addicted.
She wanted to see her more and more.
Xu's eyes were covered with gentleness, and he no longer talked to Xiao Yi, but nodded his jaw slightly, and slowly opened his lips with satisfaction: "Looking at the painting, it is indeed as dignified and generous as rumored, and it has a bit of the demeanor of the daughter of the Xie family, but I don't know how this real person isββ"
Speaking of this, Xu dragged his tail note and looked at the young man below.
When Xiao Yi heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but he raised his head rarely, and said with a slight smile: "Erchen thinks that if my mother sees it, she will definitely feel that the real person is better than this painting." β
"Oh?"
Xu Shi raised his eyes with interest, and then thought slightly: "Since this is the case, then we have to take a look." β
Saying that, Xu's eyes looked at Xiao Yi with a little intriguing and said with a smile: "I discussed with the queen's mother, and I plan to choose a warm time in a few days, and invite this eldest girl of the Gu family to come into the palace to have a look, but since they are here, we can't let our two elders detain others, we think that when the time comes, we will ask Qiyang to accompany the girl to go around the palace well, and we will also fulfill our friendship as a landlord." β
Xiao Yi heard the words and his eyes were almost imperceptibly gratified, and then he smiled and said, "Erchen thinks it's very good." β
Seeing this, Xu Shi also felt that the temptation was almost over, and seeing that the night was getting deeper, he said: "It's too late this time, it's troublesome for you to go back to your palace, so let's rest in Ciqing Palace tonight, and it's close to have morning classes tomorrow." β
When Xiao Yi heard this, he got up steadily, and then said with a smile: "My son also has this intention." β
"Hmm. β
Xu Shi smiled and nodded, then turned his head to look at Lan Xi beside him and said, "You can personally send His Highness down." β
Lan Xi bowed obediently, and Xiao Yi also bowed slightly to Xu, and then walked out with Lan Xi.
"Waitβ"
Xu's voice suddenly came from behind him, Lan Xi was slightly surprised, Xiao Yi had already turned around, but he saw Xu's smiling eyes fall on his hand.
Xiao Yi didn't move his eyes, but looked at his mother on the seat with a calm smile and said: "A few days ago, the emperor's grandfather gave his son a copy of the Song Dynasty's "Spring Dawn in the Mountains and Streams", and my mother didn't like it very much, so my son will ask someone to bring it to you tomorrow to enjoy." β
Xu Shi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then waved his hand helplessly and said, "That's it, that's it, let's go." β
The young man nodded his head like a stream, and when he turned around, there was a smile on the corner of his lips.
As the young man's figure disappeared behind the fan, Xu Shi only felt a little crying and laughing.
Everyone said that the woman couldn't help her mother, she looked, this son is older, and she can't help it.
When the person left, she exchanged a famous painting that she had been thinking about for a long time for her ordinary portrait.
Is this kind of mind still her son who is quiet and refuses to show it?
