Chapter 45: When the Clouds Rise

Puyu couldn't help but look at him who was dressed in a dark pattern of dark clouds, he hadn't seen him for more than a month, and he was still warm and handsome. The person who changed the trajectory of her fate and made her fall into the palace - the queen mother, who changed the trajectory www.biquge.info of her fate and made her fall into the palace, is standing beside him at this moment, dressed in golden clothes, luxurious, dignified and beautiful, it can be seen that the queen mother when she was young is also a charming city, and she is not inferior to any of the harem concubines here. This morning out of the palace gate to welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace, she drowned in the crowd, the Queen Mother sat in a sedan chair, quite far apart, not very clear, at this time into the distance to see, only to know that the Queen Mother next to the aunt and welcome her into the palace Aunt Mu is the same person.

No wonder she has been looking for so long in private but has never found any trace of Aunt Mu, it turns out that her aunt has left the palace.

In a trance, suddenly her eyes crashed into a pair of black eyes as warm as jade, the black pupils contained a smile, these black eyes Puyu is very familiar, that year's spring was melting, the breeze was not dry, picking flowers crowded with branches blooming, bright as clouds, she found her shadow in his dark eyes. Recalling the peach blossoms on that day that year, he was dressed in white like snow, the sudden first encounter in spring, and the affection between today's hairpins, his heart seemed to be immersed in this fragrant cinnamon, and the faint joy became more and more sweet, as if he had poured down a whole pot of honey, and there was a trace of sweetness floating in the air. Her face was hot for a while, and she quickly turned her gaze away, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Chen Jinlin's bright eyes beside her, smiling, and the place where her eyes stopped was Song Jin.

The heart trembled slightly, the slightest joy turned into clouds, the sadness was like a spring green vine growing wildly, full of irrepressible disappointment, the harem concubines were all delicate and decent, the face was powdered, the cheeks were red, or glamorous, or beautiful and refined, all the flowers and willows were here for him, and he had no way of knowing who and what he was in the middle of his burning gaze.

It wasn't until Ling Jing gently called her twice that she suddenly looked back. Ling stared at the six ears and reminded Puyu: "Miss, choose the lantern, and then guess the riddle in the lantern." ”

The palace people do not know when they have been standing in the hall in an orderly row, each holding a chic and delicate lamp in their hands has not yet been lit, the lantern riddle is written on the inner wall of the lantern, only after the lantern is lit, the lantern riddle will appear on the lantern. Puyu casually took a particularly elegant white gauze splashed ink landscape lantern from the front.

The palace maid lit the lantern chosen by Puyu, and the anagram appeared on the lampshade: the wooden eyes straddled the heart, the ancients and the anti-text, the little monk was bald, miserable and without tears.

Puyu looked at it and thought for a while, frowned slightly, and said, "The concubine can't guess." ”

Chen Jinlin was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Guessing lantern riddles in the Mid-Autumn Festival is to add interest, and lantern riddles are not difficult." However, today Pu Concubine was stumped by this little lantern riddle. ”

Puyu lowered her eyes and said softly: "Riddles have always been twisted and turned, and it is human nature that you can't guess the answer to the riddle. ”

Concubine Wan, who has been silent since the beginning of the banquet, glanced at the picture scroll in Ling's hand, and said with a light smile: "Concubine Pu seems to be prepared, and it is also fate that she can't guess the lantern riddle." ”

Everyone in the hall looked at the picture scroll in Ling Ling's hand with the gaze of the late concubine, which was a few points larger than the ordinary picture scroll, which was very eye-catching.

Puyu said with a smile: "The concubine doesn't know anything about music and rhythm, so as not to disturb the emperor and the queen mother and everyone, and she doesn't know much about poetry. Therefore, the concubine prepared this painting in advance in her spare time, thinking that if she was punished, she could use this painting to offset it, so that the concubine was punished and did not disturb the emperor and the queen mother's Yaxing. ”

In the depths of the palace, the two that she fears the most, such as the incomprehension of words and the insincerity of words.

A few days ago, Lu Zhi often chatted about this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet in the Jingyu Pavilion. It is said that this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is not only to celebrate the festival in the palace, but also to welcome the queen mother back to the harem. Because the Queen Mother likes to be quiet, this palace banquet did not rehearse songs and dances, but instead was a quiet and elegant act of everyone guessing lantern riddles and chanting poems at the moon. However, the person who can't guess the riddle at the banquet or the person who can't chant the psalm at the moon has to draw a wooden stick prepared in advance, and the corresponding punishment is written on the wooden stick.

Puyu has participated in several palace banquets since entering the palace, and knows that these punishments are nothing more than poetry and songs. People always eat a trench and grow a wisdom, she is the same, after the turmoil in the summer, she suddenly woke up, fearless and resourceful in danger is invincible to take precautions, poetry and poetry are not what she is good at, it is better to prepare a painting in advance.

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager took a sip of tea on the table, and then said casually: "You have a heart." You've bothered to draw it, just open it and take a look. The Queen Mother was a little absent-minded, as if she had never known her, and she still had a calm and quiet smile on her face that had returned to calm and peace after the vicissitudes of life.

The queen said softly: "The queen mother doesn't know, Concubine Pu is a disciple of Mr. Chen Zhiyi, and her painting skills are good. A few days ago, the concubines also heard that the emperor was full of praise for the painting of the concubine. ”

The Queen Mother still smiled, quite interested, and said: "The queen said so, the mourning family must take a good look." There are not many pictures in the world that can be praised by the emperor. Now that the concubine is full of praise to the emperor, she must have her own outstanding features. "When Song Jin was young, Concubine Zhen died of incense, and the first emperor gave Song Jin to the Queen Mother to raise. Song Jin showed an amazing talent for painting and a preference for painting at a young age, and the Queen Mother specially invited Chen Zhiyi from outside the palace to teach Song Jin to learn painting. Therefore, Song Jin's painting skills were famous all over the world at a young age.

The Empress Dowager had never seen Song Jin praise others in painting.

Song Yu, the king of Zhennan, sat on the seat and said with some surprise: "The second brother has profound painting skills, and he has never praised others' painting skills. Is what my sister-in-law said true or false? ”

The queen smiled and said, "Whether it's true or not, the prince will know when he sees the scroll." ”

Three or four palace people took the picture scroll in Ling's hand, opened the picture scroll, this picture scroll is much larger than the ordinary picture scroll, the sunrise in the east, a hundred flowers bloom, the pavilions and water pavilions are very different, original, on the bridge, through the winding path there are occasionally three or three two or two people, one muscle and one look, the state is extremely beautiful, lifelike, jumping on the paper. The painting is the harem, and the painting is full of luxury and prosperity, and the atmosphere is peaceful.
