Wu Yan stopped listening, although he immediately blushed, but he was not angry because of the contempt in Helan Ling's words, but like coaxing a child, he replied gently: "What the princess said is that Weichen is panicking. ”

Helan Ling rolled her eyes and said, "Since you want to make amends, then give the plum in your hand to this princess." ”

Wu Yanzhi, who has always been easy to speak, hesitated at this moment, this hometown plum blossom was originally intended to be given to the little eunuch of the same township. The little eunuch hadn't been home for a long time, and wanted to see if the plums in his homeland were as good as in previous years. After Wu Yan agreed to his promise, he broke many branches of plum from his hometown and offered them in vases, and he only kept this branch intact along the way.

After thinking about it again, Wu Yanzhi shook his head stubbornly, and he said apologetically: "Princess Ximei, there are many well-bloomed plums in this palace, this is the plum of the hometown that I can't return home and look forward to, and I can't give it away." ”

Helan Ling didn't really want him to be a plum blossom, although the plum blossom was good, it was not as important as Wu Yanzhi in front of him. She also asked: "If you can't give me this plum, how will you compensate me?"

Wu Yanzhi was stumped by Helan Ling's question, the one in front of her was the proud daughter of the sky, and she didn't have to worry about food and clothing. I'm just an idle painter, what can I do to make this proud girl of heaven look down on?

Helan Ling tilted her head to look at Wu Yanzhi, whose face was gradually reddening, and she didn't spare him now, the more she looked at the red face of this dumb painter, the more interesting it became.

Wu Yanzhi held back a sentence for a long time and said: "Yanzhi can only paint, and Yanzhi is willing to paint for the princess." ”

Helan Ling listened. Finally nodded a little arrogantly. Seeing this, Wu Yanzhi finally lost a lot of crimson on his face, and he bowed his hand and said, "Then Yanzhi will wait for the princess in the painting piano building." "The painting piano building is an exclusive place for painters and musicians in the Beiyan Palace.

Helan Ling curled the corners of her mouth and said, "I don't like the noise of the piano building. I heard that Master Wu has a good memory, and the scenery he sees can be twisted with a pen, and it is more fascinating than the original scene?"

Wu Yanzhi nodded and said modestly: "Yanzhi's memory is a little better than that of ordinary painters, not to mention superb." ”

"Well, I'm going to test whether your name is for nothing, and I need you to make a picture of what you see under the walls of the city today." He Lanling spoke. While approaching Wu Yanzhi, there was only half a step between the two of them.

Helan Ling leaned forward, and the warm breath sprayed on Wu Yanzhi's ears. Finger heard her say, "On the city wall, you are only allowed to see me." ”

Wu Yan stopped listening, his pupils dilated instantly, and he didn't have time to comprehend what He Lanling's last sentence meant. Helan Ling led the palace maid and passed by. Wu Yanzhi touched the roots of his ears that had already burned, and turned to look at Helan Ling.

Helan Ling was draped in a heavy fox fur and walked among the red walls and green tiles. Wu Yanzhi finally let go of his restraint at this moment, couldn't help laughing, and then pursed his lips and silenced as if he was afraid of being heard by Helan Ling.

Ten days later, Helan Ling took the painting in the painting building and carefully observed and admired it, and the painter really only painted himself. Helan Ling looked at herself standing on the city tower in the painting to see off the soldiers who went to the border, wrapped in a thick fox fur, her little face was cold and red. The face is innocent.

Helan Ling liked the painting very much, but after a moment she put it on the table. His face was sad, and he said to himself: "It would be nice if Ling'er was as beautiful as in this painting." ”

Wu Yanzhi didn't know what he had done wrong to make the little princess unhappy, so he hurriedly comforted: "The appearance on this painting is what the princess looks like now, and the princess looks better than in the painting." ”

Helan Ling stared at Wu Yanzhi quietly, and at this time, Wu Yanzhi realized that he had said the wrong thing and that he had crossed his bounds. When she was about to kneel, Helan Ling grabbed Wu Yanzhi's hand with her hand, and she winked at Wu Yanzhi mischievously and said, "Little painter, in your mind, is every princess as beautiful as a fairy in your heart?" ”

Wu Yanzhi felt the temperature from the palm of Helan Ling's hand, and he blushed very unproductively, he hurriedly broke free of He Lanling's hand, took a few steps back and said: "Most of the other princesses are like Princess Ling, dignified, gentle and virtuous. ”

Helan Ling listened to this answer and said dissatisfiedly: "Take a closer look, where does it look like a normal place?" As he spoke, he approached Wu Yanzhi again, and Wu Yanzhi was unable to retreat, and Helan Ling forced Wu Yanzhi to look at herself. Wu Yanzhi glanced at Helan Ling and immediately lowered his head, and said uneasily: "Princess Ling and Princess Ling are always different. ”

"What's the difference?" Helan Ling did not relent.

"Who in the world doesn't know that Beiyan has Ling, and the crown is in the harem." Wu Yanzhi lowered his head.

"That's what people in the world think, but what about yourself?" He Lanling continued to ask.

"I don't feel it, Princess Ling is the best-looking." Every word Wu Yanzhi spoke, the sound was short and urgent, and these words were poured out like pouring beans.

Helan Ling laughed when she heard this: "I was born so good-looking, will you only paint me in the future?" Without waiting for Wu Yanzhi's answer, Helan Ling turned around and walked out the door, not forgetting to bring the paintings on the table before leaving.

Under the moon, Helan Ling stroked the piano in the imperial garden, and Wu Yanzhi sat opposite to draw every smart demeanor of He Lanling. The sound of the piano hit the softest place in Wu Yanzhi's heart, and Wu Yanzhi's serious appearance was also portrayed in Helan Ling's eyes. The evening breeze has touched the feelings of many people.

The two talked about poetry and songs, philosophy of life, and painting and piano. The two had never found such a compatible other half, she smiled at him, she frowned, he couldn't wait to take it.

Helan Ling sometimes asked Wu Yanzhi, she said: "If Ling'er is ugly and shameless, talented and virtuous, will Wu Lang still fall in love with me?"

"I don't dare to guarantee before, but I can guarantee that in the future, even if Ling'er is ugly and shameless, talented and virtuous, Yanzhi will treat her with her original intention." Wu Yanzhi put down his paintbrush and said.

Helan Ling smiled: "Wu Lang is really cunning. ”

Wu Yan stopped smiling and didn't speak, and handed the painted scroll to Helan Ling to see, and Helan Ling saw that the scroll had a line of words written on it: This life will live up to the king, and a couple will be a couple for a lifetime.

"Ling'er suddenly became illiterate." Helan Ling played tricks.

"In this life, I will live up to you, and I will be a couple in my life." Wu Yanzhi muttered softly.

The longer the time, the deeper the relationship between the two becomes. A year later, Wu Yanzhi faked the portrait of the show girl who entered the palace because he refused to accept bribes, and even his colleagues could not accept foreign money, because the royal magnates only agreed with Wu Yanzhi's wonderful brushwork. Several portraits are not uniform and regular, so naturally there are ghosts.

Wu Yanzhi was also ostracized and framed by his colleagues because of this, and every time He Lanling learned about these things, he was furious. wanted to rectify those painters but was stopped by Wu Yanzhi, who was always so generous and pure. Helan Ling carried Wu Yanzhi behind his back, and it was indispensable to rectify those painters.

Wu Yanzhi's talent and talent originally aroused the jealousy of other painters, and even a noble princess like Helan Ling was also devoted to Wu Yanzhi, so she was naturally jealous of others. This time, several painters found conclusive evidence of the relationship between the two, and jointly wrote to the emperor He Lanling, saying that someone in the palace tried to get involved with Helan Ling, the princess who had always been on the tip of his heart.

Emperor Helan listened to it, remained silent, and threw Wu Yanzhi into prison overnight.

specially summoned He Lanling, He Lanling knelt on the ground and did not defend herself, but said that she took the initiative to seduce Wu Yanzhi and begged the emperor to fulfill the two. After hearing this, Helan Ling was furious, and he even strangled Helan Ling's neck with his hand. Helan Ling refused to beg for mercy, but instead begged for death: "Father killed Ling'er, Ling'er is unwilling to let Wu Lang die alone." ”

He Lanling finally let go of He Lanling, he suddenly didn't know the Helan Ling in front of him who had been held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, he coughed, and beckoned to the big eunuch to take He Lanling down. After Helan Ling left, Helan Ling was far from being able to calm down.

"Your Majesty, your cough is getting more and more serious, let's diagnose and treat it with Imperial Doctor Xuan." The great eunuch said.

"If the princes under my knees are still too young when Nanli's envoy visits, if the imperial doctor is summoned, then Nanli will think that Beiyan is weak and can be bullied."

"But the emperor, your body" The big eunuch wanted to persuade again, but the emperor stopped talking, so he had to keep silent.

For the first time since Helan Ling grew up, she suffered for the first time, she was locked up by Helan and confined herself, and she was not allowed to see anyone or intercede for her.

At this time, Nanli came to Beiyan as a defeated country to ask for relatives, although Beiyan narrowly won, Nanli is always eyeing the tiger, as long as Beiyan is a little relaxed, Nanli can bite Beiyan down a bite of meat.

"The envoy of Nanli Kingdom came to ask Princess Ling, what does Your Majesty plan to do?" The big eunuch asked sideways.

"Wuxi, the little princess who used to lie in my arms has grown up, and she has reached the age when she should get married." Helan Xuan's words carried a sense of pathos and powerlessness.

"I'm afraid that Princess Yiling's temperament, this trip to relatives will not be so easy." The great eunuch worried.

"Wuxi, you don't know, today Ling'er is willing to die with that lowly painter." Helan Xuan said, suddenly coughed, paused and said: "Presumably, Ling'er is also willing to marry Nanli in order to save the painter's life." Wuxi, you say, am I so incompetent that I have turned all my plans on my daughter's head?"

"Ahem, I know that I am really not a good father, and I have to sacrifice Ling'er to temporarily settle down. But Ling'er, as a member of the royal family, the royal sons fought bloody battles on the battlefield, and they never knew that the marriage between the two countries was also a battlefield of swords and swords.
