Chapter 38: Qin Guifei was defeated
"Lin'er, good poetry!" Empress Dowager Liu had a feeling that she was just as she wished, her eyes were full of a kind spring water flowing, and her emotions were faintly moving.
The beauty of this poem is that it is just the right metaphor, and the concubines of the harem are like lotus flowers living in a pool. Every concubine has a beautiful appearance like these lotus flowers, exudes a fragrant atmosphere, peerless, but who has to pity, seeing the autumn frost getting thicker, time passing, it is inevitable that the red face will wither, so these lotus flowers hope to grow in the Jade Emperor's Yao Pond, always bright, never decaying, is to say that the Son of Heaven is the Jade Emperor, it is really a wonderful poem!
Qin Liuxuan saw that Empress Dowager Liu praised Shangguan Ye Lin with a smile, and the hidden jealousy in her eyes shot at Shangguan Ye Lin again and again, and then put everything away, and a bright smile immediately bloomed at the corner of her mouth, and said to Shangguan Ye Lin: "Sister Lin'er is really as talented as rumored, why don't we paint next." After speaking, he turned his eyes to the Empress Dowager Liu and said, "What does the Queen Mother think?"
Shangguan Ye Lin's eyes did not carry any emotion, calm and clear like a pool of spring water, but a sneer flowed in his heart, hum This Qin Liuxuan really didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back.
"The mourning family thinks it's okay, what does Lin'er think?" Empress Dowager Liu looked at Shangguan Ye Lin with gentle eyebrows, pinched the lid of the cup with her little finger and raised it slightly, and what she was wearing on her finger was a noble long armor that showed the identity of the Queen Mother.
Shangguan Ye Lin's clear and bright pupils did not show any emotion, her curved willow eyebrows revealed alienation, she lifted her eyelids slightly and looked at Empress Dowager Liu, and opened her lips lightly, "Lin'er agrees with the Empress Dowager's opinion." ”
"Okay, come on, prepare a sandalwood table and paper, ink, pen and inkstone. Empress Dowager Liu smiled on her face, and her face was not old with ripples of joy.
After a cup of tea, the eunuchs brought two square sandalwood tables, and the two palace maids each brought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and put it on the sandalwood table, Qin Liuxuan took the lead in getting up and coming to a sandalwood table.
I saw her stretch out her Qianqianyu finger and pick up the paintbrush, raise her eyes to look at Shangguan Ye Lin, who was still sitting on the stone bench opposite, and asked politely, "Sister Lin'er, what should we paint on?"
"There are thousands of themes in this world, and Lin'er doesn't know what theme her sister likes to paint, so it's better to paint with what she wants in her heart, what does Sister Guifei think?" Shangguan Ye Lin raised her eyes to Qin Liuxuan, the corners of her lips pursed slowly, and she said a sentence eloquently, but with coldness.
Qin Liuxuan said that she was asking for her opinion, but she was stumbling on her, if she really came up with a subject as a reference, they painted according to the subject matter she said, if she lost, it would cause a burst of ridicule, and then show Qin Liuxuan's talent, she Shangguan Ye Lin's question, but won with Qin Liuxuan, this matter spread out, and she Shangguan Ye Lin would be the laughing stock of the harem concubines and the people after tea and dinner.
And Shangguan Ye Lin's pointless answer, leaving this matter clean, what they think in their hearts will be what they do best, if they win at the same time, others can't say anything.
Qin Liuxuan saw that Shangguan Ye Lin had brushed her inquiry cleanly, and clenched the pen in her hand, but she still forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, pulled out a perfect smile, and leaned over to draw.
What she thinks in her heart, what Qin Liuxuan thinks in her heart - naturally she can be the queen and the emperor for a long time, but how can she draw this kind of thing!
Empress Dowager Liu saw that Qin Liuxuan was already painting, and Shangguan Ye Lin was still leisurely drinking tea, and asked anxiously, "Lin'er, aren't you going to start yet?"
Shangguan Ye Lin lowered her eyelids and looked at Empress Dowager Liu, smiled slightly, and said, "Wait a while." "She doesn't need to be as complicated as Qin Liuxuan to paint, and she still needs to change the brush, she can do it with just one.
After a cup of tea, Shangguan Yelin was still sitting on the stone bench admiring the flowers, sipping a few sips of tea from time to time, looking very leisurely.
And Empress Dowager Liu began to play a small drum in her heart, not that she didn't believe in Lin'er, but this painting was not something that could be completed with a few strokes, it was all over the time of a cup of tea, if she didn't paint again, she really couldn't catch up.
The group of concubines standing next to her also didn't understand what Miss Shangguan meant, this concubine had drawn five or six times, why didn't Miss Shangguan use her pen.
Another cup of tea has passed, Qin Liuxuan has already painted seventy-seven-eighty-eight, Empress Dowager Liu is a little impatient, just about to urge Shangguan Ye Lin, Shangguan Ye Lin suddenly stood up and came to the sandalwood table, stretched out her slender jade fingers to lift the pen, and began to draw on the paper.
After only a while, Qin Liuxuan and Shangguan Ye Lin put down their pens at the same time and said, "Okay." Then they all raised their heads and looked at each other, Qin Liuxuan's eyes were slightly disguised contempt, and Shangguan Yelin's eyes were filled with an unpredictable light.
When Empress Dowager Liu got up and was about to get Shangguan Yelin's painting, Qin Liuxuan immediately picked up her painting and came to Empress Dowager Liu, presented the painting in front of Empress Dowager Liu's eyes, and said, "Queen Mother, take a look." ”
Empress Dowager Liu picked up the painting and looked at it for a long time, the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, indicating goodwill, and her gentle voice sounded, "What a family carnival." "I don't want this kid to think about the big picture, yes, yes.
The concubines also stepped forward to see Qin Liuxuan's paintings, which depicted the Empress Dowager Qin, the Empress Dowager Liu, the emperor and a group of harem beauties. And everyone is smiling, it seems that they are very harmonious, and it is appropriate to say that the 'Qin Liuxuan' next to the 'emperor' in the painting is even more smiling, but Shangguan Yelin was painted by Qin Liuxuan in the most inconspicuous place.
Although some of the concubines in the harem have never seen the emperor's face, but the person in the words is wearing a dragon robe, without thinking about it, they can also know that this is the emperor, and who in the world can wear a dragon robe except the emperor.
"Lin'er, what about yours?" Empress Dowager Liu shifted her gaze to Shangguan Ye Lin and asked softly. In just a moment, what will Lin'er, this kid do.
Shangguan Yelin listened to Empress Dowager Liu's call for herself, so she picked up the painting on the sandalwood table and handed it to Empress Dowager Liu, who took the painting with a look of surprise and stammered a little, "This... Isn't this Xuan'er?!It's so lifelike, it's like!It's so similar!" His eyes swept over the upper right corner of the painting, and when he saw a sentence, he opened his mouth and read it out, "The upper poor bi falls down the Yellow Spring." ”
No matter where you are, in the heavens and on the earth, I will be with you, even if you go to hell! Shangguan Ye Lin thought silently in his heart.
This is a sketch painting, the man in the painting is Ouyang Xuanyue, the eyebrows and eyes are simply vivid, even the corners of the mouth of the person in the painting are like a real person with an imperceptible smile, this painting is comparable to a modern photo.
Empress Dowager Liu picked up the painting and was reluctant to put it down, her eyes looked through the scroll, as if she had returned to the past, and her mouth kept saying, "Like, it's really like." ”
The concubines also walked over to look at it with curiosity, and when they saw the painting again, they all had different expressions on their faces, Yu Lingwei and others looked at the person in the painting with bright eyes, the emperor was indeed handsome.
Although some of the concubines present have never seen the emperor, they also know the name of the emperor, and I heard the Empress Dowager Liu talk about it at this time, and I know that this painting is the emperor in the person, and the emperor is really as handsome as rumored, how fortunate they are to be able to enter the palace as concubines!
When Qin Liuxuan saw Shangguan Yelin's painting, she almost fainted. His eyes swept fiercely towards Shangguan Ye Lin. For what is she Qin Liuxuan will lose to her Shangguan Ye Lin several times and three times, who is she, isn't she the cowardly and incompetent third lady in Shangguan Mansion, how can this be, how can it be.
"Sister Lin'er is really amazing, at such a young age, she has such a level, which really makes my sister admire. Qin Liuxuan looked at Shangguan Ye Lin, her eyes seemed to be extremely gentle, but with a cold heart, her voice of gritting her teeth floated out faintly.
"Yes, the mourning family also thinks Lin'er is very powerful. Empress Dowager Liu came back to her senses, pulled out a gentle smile, and nodded approvingly.
