Chapter 43: Happy Birthday to You
The curtain was lifted, and a father-in-law with a whisk walked in, and it was the father-in-law Liu who had just rushed left and right in the Internal Affairs Office.
"Mother's eye."
Empress Jiang stretched out her hand to take it, flipped it over, and said with a smile: "Well, the names are very good." ”
Looking at one of the pages, there were three words written on the ancient painting fan, his eyes deepened, and the cruel smile on the corner of his mouth immediately turned into a soft smile.
As if unintentionally, he put it down and picked up the thick pile of portraits placed next to him. Pick up a few portraits and look at them carefully.
"This daughter of the Duke of Qi has seen it in this palace, and she looks pretty good, but the niece of the Duke of Qi doesn't know what kind of woman she is, but just looking at the portrait, the person in the painting is out of the dust. As for me, I have to take a good look at this draft. Empress Jiang said casually, but she also looked at and observed the faces of Chunyuan Lanxu and Chunyuan Lanmu, after all, the rumors in the Fang City are not empty and can come to Feng.
"What? That stinky girl is also going to participate in the draft! But it was Chunyuan Lan Qing, who was eating on the side, said in surprise. Hurriedly put down the food in his hand, walked quickly to Queen Jiang's side, and probed his brain to see the portrait.
Hearing this, Empress Jiang turned her head to look at him, and at the same time missed the out-of-control expression that appeared on the faces of Chunyuan Lan Xu and Chunyuan Lan Ye.
Chunyuan Lan Qing realized that she had lost her manners, and scratched her head and returned to her original position.
"What? Sixteen, but do you know this ancient painting fan? Empress Jiang said.
Chunyuan Lanqing was about to speak when she heard this, but her thoughts changed, and she said with a smile: "Queen Mother, this is not a few days ago when my father and emperor inadvertently met each other, and he is about the same age as his son, and his temper is quite straightforward, so he remembered it a little."
Helpless, his hand was quietly behind his back, rubbing his aching waist, oops, it hurts, stinky fifth brother, even if you don't screw me, I know that it's good not to talk nonsense, it's really heavy. Woo woo woo -
Queen Jiang smiled when she heard this, and she didn't say anything more, closed the booklet, and said: "It doesn't matter what her temperament is, she is also on the roster, wait for the draft day to see, if it is suitable, she will be selected." ”
Hearing this, Fifth Highness Chunyuan Lanyu and Sixteenth Highness Chunyuan Lanqing glanced at each other and were silent.
"Okay, you've been here for a while, hurry up and go back to your own business, the palace is going to rest." Empress Jiang leaned on the soft collapse again and said clearly.
The five of them retired, and the moment they stood up, the portrait that was spread out and laid flat on the table met no one's eyes. The faint depiction above outlines a woman in white with a smile on the corner of her mouth and a dusty temperament. There are pear blossoms dancing all around, like a fairy in a painting.
It's just that the curvature of the corners of the lips stung whose eyes?
No one left Empress Jiang's dormitory.
The five of them walked on the road, but Chunyuan Lanqing, who was lagging behind, shouted, "Fifth brother, you just started so hard, is your sixteenth brother the kind of person who doesn't use his mouth!" I still know what to say. Hum! ”
Chunyuan Lanyu laughed and said, "You thin skin and tender meat, you can't stand it with a light twist?" ”
Chunyuan Lanqing jumped to his feet and said, "Twist it gently? I guess it's all green! ”
The little guy's cheeks were bulging, and he walked quickly to catch up with the pure abyss Lan Xu who was walking in front.
grabbed Chunyuan Lanxu's arm and complained: "Seventh brother, look at the fifth brother, he doesn't look like a brother at all, and he still screws me!" ”
Chun Yuan Lan Xu glanced at him lightly, and Chun Yuan Lan Qing immediately shrank his neck and withdrew his hand.
"Fifth brother, sixteen has grown up, don't bully him anymore." Pure Yuan Lan said clearly.
Chunyuan Lanyu smiled and said softly: "This kid is underwhelming, and now he knows some sophistication!" ”
His Highness Sixteen snorted and walked side by side with Pure Yuan Lanxu.
Chunyuan Lanxu was silent all the way, the arm hidden in his sleeve, because he had just been pulled by Sixteen and Eleven, he was already bleeding, but he didn't seem to feel pain, and his seemingly steady steps were actually three steps and two steps at a rapid pace.
Out of the palace gate, Chunyuan Lanxu took the lead in getting into the carriage and left without saying a word.
And Chunyuan Lanmu and Chunyuan Lanye also rode away, leaving the confused Chunyuan Lanyu and Chunyuan Lanqing.
Today's weather is very good, the ancient painting fan is lying on its back on the bluestone block in the courtyard, basking in the sun, and humming an unknown song in his mouth. The calf of the left leg was wrapped in thick gauze, and the trouser leg slipped down to the knee.
Reaching out and touching the dazzling sunlight, a faint smile pouted at the corner of the ancient painting fan's mouth.
Between the hidden fragrance of the sea of flowers, An Deyang came slowly, and when he saw this scene, he was already accustomed to it.
He took two steps, put the tray in his hand on the stone table, and said softly: "Girl, hurry up, it's time to take medicine." ”
Gu Hua opened his eyes suddenly, sat up suddenly, looked at An Deyang's faint expression, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, you don't look full, but you're hungry?" ”
An Deyang looked at her smiling face and opened her mouth, but she had nothing to say.
Gu Huafan pursed his lips and smiled, reached out and picked up the gold sore medicine in the tray, untied the gauze, applied the medicine little by little, and then bandaged it again.
An Deyang looked at the hideous long wound and couldn't recover for a long time, and his eyes seemed to be looking at the unreachable void.
Gu Huafan put down the medicine and looked at the man standing quietly in front of him, and suddenly felt that his body exuded a loneliness that he had never felt before.
With a leisurely sigh, the ancient painting fan slowly walked in front of An Deyang, and said, "Brother An, wait a moment." ”
As he spoke, he walked towards the house, An Deyang came back to his senses, and hurriedly reached out to help her, but was dodged by the ancient painting fan.
"It doesn't hurt so much anymore, it's still okay to walk slowly."
An Deyang looked at her back, then looked at his empty hand, and pursed his lips.
After a while, the ancient painting fan slowly walked out of the house, but there was another palm-sized jade box in his hand.
The ancient painting fan walked up to him and handed him the jade box in his hand with both hands.
An Deyang didn't know why, but he still stretched out his hand to take it, and the moment he took it, he heard the sound of the ancient painting fan.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you—" the old painting fan sang with a smile.
An Deyang was stunned, and looked up at the little girl in front of him, who was only up to his shoulder. She is so beautiful at this moment, and her smile is still bright at this moment.
The fingers holding the jade box contracted tightly for a moment, and the knuckles were pale and trembling slightly.
She still remembered that today was his birthday.
After singing the birthday song, the ancient painting fan reached out and patted An Deyang's shoulder, and said softly: "Brother An, happy birthday, this is my birthday gift to you, but you are not allowed to dislike it!" ”
The ancient painting fan stretched out his hand to open the jade box, and there was a bunch of tassels lying quietly inside, and a crystal clear irregularly shaped sky blue jade pendant above it exuded dazzling light in the sun.
The light stung An Deyang's eyes deeply.
The ancient painting fan reached out and took out the jade pendant, while hanging the jade pendant on his waist, the tassel fluttered in the wind, and the jade pendant above was beautiful and exciting.
An Deyang seemed to be awakened in an instant, took a step back sharply, stared closely at the face of the ancient painting fan, his eyes were mixed with all kinds of emotions, but he suddenly turned around and ran out, and his figure looked a little wolf.
The smiling face of the ancient painting fan gradually faded and finally disappeared. He wanted to chase after him, but he stopped. Looking at his disappearing back, a silent sigh crossed his heart.
Brother An, I know you're worried about me. But helplessly, this palace, I have to enter!
After this farewell, entering the palace, it may be a farewell for a lifetime.
The pear blossoms bloom just right, and the thousands of pale petals are like a flower rain in the sky, and the beauty is a little depressed.
