In the middle of the hall on the palace of Prince An, Prince Jane, and Prince Xian, there is a Yun'er painting, and a huge peony is set up with an easel. It is not that the princes prefer peonies, but that peonies symbolize prosperity and wealth, and the identity of the prince is the best embodiment of glory and wealth.

It is impossible not to know about this matter by the Queen Mother, because there are the Queen Mother's eyeliner in any palace. Of course, it's not a big deal, it's just a painting. The Queen Mother felt a little uncomfortable: the mansions of several princes had the legendary "stunning peony that pours dust", but there was no one in her palace. But she also knew that the painting was begged for by several princes, and it was not given to Yun'er or Rui. Generally speaking, painters do not give away their paintings casually, and are suspected of flattery and stammering. Giving food, clothing and play to the elders during the New Year's holidays is a respect and filial piety to the elders. If you can't eat or drink, if the person receiving the painting doesn't like it and throws it away, wouldn't it be a waste of people's effort? Lost face?

The Queen Mother can't ask for Yun'er's paintings, her status is there. The emperor didn't have such concerns, and when he came to ask the queen mother for peace after the next dynasty, he said: "The sister-in-law in the second brother's house actually painted the peony alive!" Another day, I will go to my second brother's house to ask for one. ”

"Your Majesty, you are getting more and more out of step now, even if Fuyou is your brother, your identity is the emperor." The Queen Mother's words were not without mockery

"What's wrong with the emperor? Just waiting for someone to send it? Haven't you heard of asking for Mobao and asking for Danqing? ”

The Queen Mother laughed happily: "The emperor of our Great Qing Kingdom really has the demeanor of a courteous corporal, it's not simple. If you ask Yun'er's Danqing to be hung in your bedroom, Concubine E, a talented woman, will be jealous. ”

"Wouldn't it? Wuyunzhu has always been virtuous and generous, and I have not heard her vinegar words. ”

"Your Majesty, might as well try it? Don't mess with your concubine. ”

"It's even more unlikely. Did Concubine Ai and sister-in-law have a holiday? No? Two people who are not related. ”

The Queen Mother sneered in her heart, and said in her heart, son, you think your sweetheart is too perfect. And don't say anything. But the emperor's interest hooked Yun'er's drawing. The great eunuch Wu Liangfu told him that when the three princes of Prince Jian, Prince An, and Prince Xian left the palace that day, they were red-faced on the road because of the peony of the owner of Feiyun Mansion, and everyone said that the one in their house was the best, better than the one with the cold drink of Yulong, and they quarreled all the way out of the palace.

The emperor took a little time to go to the three princes' mansions to see peonies, and the conclusion was comparable and each had its own merits. He was really embarrassed to open his mouth to beg Yun'er's Danqing and instructed Prince Xian to handle the matter. Prince Xian is the nephew of Prince Rui and the emperor's nephew, the elders give orders to the juniors, dare not obey?

There was no way, Prince Xian had no choice but to come to King Rui's Mansion and talk to the prince about it. He also let it go, anyway, he asked for it for the emperor, and you should weigh it up for yourself whether to give it or not.

Don't say that the emperor wants it, even if the grandfather of the country comes to ask for it, he has to give it. So the emperor also got a large peony, instructed the craftsmen of the Internal Affairs Office to frame it, and hung it in the queen mother's bedroom half a month later. The emperor is not a fool, if he really hangs this peony in his bedroom, not only the concubines, but all the concubines will be jealous.

The concubines come to Cining Palace every day to greet the Queen Mother. Especially the concubines who like qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, they saw the huge peony picture at first sight, and if there were no strict royal rules, they would scream: "This is too beautiful, right?" Who drew this? Is it our Qing people? The Qing Dynasty people actually have such a peony master? I actually painted the peony alive!

Only Concubine E remained silent, standing in front of the painting and watching carefully. She herself is a person who loves Danqing, and she likes this peony very much, and she keeps admiring and speculating in her heart. His eyes fell on the position of the payment, and he muttered to himself: "Feiyun Mansion Master? ”

So he gave a gift in front of the queen mother: "Can the concubine ask you the old man, do you know the owner of Feiyun Building?" must be a master of the world, otherwise he would not have painted such an extraordinary painting. ”

"Concubine E, what do you think of this Feiyun Mansion Master's painting compared to you?"

"How dare the concubine's paintings be compared? If possible, the concubine would like to worship this master as a teacher. ”

"Is that true?"

"Seriously! Regardless of whether this master is a white-clothed scholar or a secluded man in the mountains and forests, the concubines will worship him as a teacher. ”

"Why did you recognize that this Feiyun Mansion Master is a white-clothed Xiushi or a mountain forest retreat? Wouldn't it be something else? ”

Concubine E pondered for a long time and said, "The owner of Feiyun Mansion seems to be a very old man, so it's even better." ”

The Queen Mother laughed at her: "Our concubine E has always been extremely smart, but now we have made a mistake." This Feiyun Mansion Master is neither a seventy-year-old man nor a white-haired old man, but a young woman. ”

"Woman? Impossible, absolutely impossible! Concubine E lost her face and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother: "Please be sure to tell the concubine the name of this woman, she is a woman, and it is very convenient to teach the concubine." ”

"It's convenient for you, and you don't ask if it's convenient or not?" The Queen Mother was a little unhappy.

"No matter how inconvenient she is, can she still not listen to the emperor? The concubine begged the emperor to let her enter the palace, but she dared to disobey the holy decree? ”

"Why does this palace sound a bit of a bully? What if this woman is also royal? What if she was a princess or the woman of some prince? What right do you have to order someone? ”

Concubine E was speechless for a moment, this is something she never expected! Brain cells are running rapidly: the emperor's daughters are young, it is impossible for a girl of a few years old to draw such a picture, and the princesses of the emperor's generation are married, and I haven't heard of anyone who can have such a surprising painting art, there must be no such capable person among the concubines in the palace, only the ladies in the palace, who is it? I heard that Prince Xian has a concubine Fu Jin Yu who can paint, but it seems that he can't paint to this level. Prince Zhuang has a side Fu Jin who loves to paint, but only to draw embroidery sketches. This Feiyun Mansion owner ...... Concubine E didn't know about this Feiyun Tower at all, so naturally she couldn't guess Yun'er's body. So he said almost pleadingly: "Queen Mother, just tell the concubine, which one is this Feiyun Mansion master from the clan family's mansion?" As a concubine, don't you still want to move her? ”

"It's not that you don't move, it's that people don't have time. Besides, the identity of this Feiyun Mansion Master is not much lower than yours. Why do people listen to you? ”

Concubine E blushed: In her eyes, the queen is just a decoration, not to mention the women in the clan family's mansion? The Queen Mother said this, probably the concubine of a prince. But Chang Fujin can't be compared with the concubine. I was so anxious that I was like a cat, and I didn't dare to lose my temper in front of the Queen Mother. If you don't learn how to paint, it's really a wasted life!

"Okay, okay, this palace won't tease you, this painting was painted by Jin Yun'er, the side of Ruiwang's Mansion, and her residence is called Feiyun Building, so naturally she is the owner of the building. You may say, how can Fang Fujin compare to you? On that day, the palace and the emperor attended the family banquet of King Rui's mansion, and the palace recognized Yun'er's daughter and named Princess Gulun. Princess Gulun's identity and the position of the concubine seem to be similar, right? "This queen mother is very suspected of sowing discord. What she looks down on the most is that Concubine E is the only woman in the world who is talented. Her paintings are good, and the other three arts of piano, chess, and calligraphy are also reasonable. But there are people in human beings, and there are heavens outside the sky, and nothing is absolute. The emperor spoils you, you are the best in everything? If you want to say that the painting master among the women, it should be the Han woman, the Central Plains culture has a long history, where is the cultural heritage of the Han people that can be compared with the concubine?

As soon as she heard Yun'er's name, Concubine E was furious. Of course she doesn't show it on her face. only knew that Yun'er's ability was to make sachets, purses, ice fruits, and snacks, and no one told her that Chen's calligraphy and painting were far above her concubine. How did she make her painting so good? Is it exotic? However, the art of painting is not something that can be done in a year's work. Some people have painted all their lives without achieving anything. I heard that the Chen family found out that they were happy when they arrived in a foreign land, even if they were in the house, it has been two months since they arrived in a foreign land, and there are still seven or eight months to get pregnant, right? She's a twin! Removing the time for joy, the time for learning other skills, the time for shopping, the time for giving birth to children in confinement, and the time for watching children, where is the time to draw? I learned it when I was a child, and I had to start learning to draw when I was seven or eight years old, right? Drawing is much more difficult than literacy, and people who are not gifted or have poor families simply don't think about it. How the hell did she learn? It doesn't seem to be hand-drawn!

Although Concubine E was not convinced and jealous of Yun'er's extraordinary painting skills, she had to admit that she was indeed better than herself, and she was ten streets away! I also have to admire that the talented women from the scholarly family of the Han family are indeed much more clever than the talented women of the Manchu family. But Concubine E felt that she was the emperor's woman, the most talented of all the emperor's concubines, how could she give a side blessing to compare? If you want to say apprenticeship, you can worship anyone, but under the name of Side Fujin, she doesn't want to!

The Queen Mother was very happy to see Concubine E's face white and blue for a while. This woman is really hateful, she confused the emperor and couldn't find the south, south, west, and northwest, so she ran to her bedroom in the next court. How many concubines' hearts have been chilled? How many ministers' hearts have been chilled? The entire emperor is her alone, and she has to pretend to be pitiful and weak. is like his sister Concubine Chen, who made the emperor confused. I didn't expect Yun'er to be angry with her, hehehe......

"Concubine E, what did you say? Whether this master is a white-clothed scholar or a mountain forest retreat, you will worship him as a teacher. All the concubines have heard it, right? Why does this palace seem to be unconvinced? What is the saying? There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, so you can't let other people's painting skills be inferior to you just because you are the emperor's concubine, right? ”

"That's not what the concubine meant. The concubine heard that the Rui Wangfu is now doing business, not only the Rui Wangye himself is busy, but his two Fujin are also busy like spinning tops. The concubine is embarrassed to trouble others. ”

The Queen Mother sighed after a sneer: "Concubine E, I heard you mean that you don't want to learn anymore, because Yun Yatou is the position of the side Fujin, and she is not worthy of teaching you to paint." This palace tells you that even if you bow three times and knock nine times, and with tens of thousands of taels of apprentices, people don't have the time to take care of you! Rui Wangfu started from Rui Wangye, there is no idler in the mansion, they are all busy making money for the emperor in business, and they are doing business, can you not do the right thing in order to meet your preferences? I advise you not to trouble the emperor to intercede for you, the emperor is a superb skill learned from a foreign land, and he is not just handed away. The palace has a decree, and the cold drinks and dim sum recipes in their house are not allowed to be passed on, and their superb painting skills cannot be told to anyone! ”

Concubine E's face was as if she had been slapped hard, and her face was flushed. can't blame her entirely, when she is used to being high, she feels that she is better than others, others must scold herself, and she must take the initiative to send any good thing to the door, so she may be rejected. How did it become unworthy? also said that people don't have the time to take care of it!

Holding back tears, he returned to the dormitory, smashed a set of fine porcelain, and slowly calmed down. The reason why Concubine E is regarded as a confidante by the emperor is that she has her unique strengths after all. It is the habit of the living to be high, and sometimes the good nature is revealed. It is not unreasonable to lie on the bed tossing and turning, pondering the words of the Queen Mother. The skills that have been learned so hard in a strange foreign land are easily handed over because of the human rights in a high position, and no one will be willing to put it aside. The Queen Mother blocked arrows for the Chen family everywhere, wasn't it because the Chen family could earn money for the imperial court? Isn't it because the Queen Mother was also a side Fujin? Thinking of this, Concubine E's anger disappeared by half, and her mind of learning painting from Yun'er was also put down. But the hostility towards Yun'er can't be let go no matter what, this woman is too much of a threat to herself. The emperor never praised other women in front of him, but he praised the Chen family several times! It is not impossible to really bring the Chen family into the palace, and the position of canonization is definitely not under him!

After this, Concubine E had one more thing on her mind: for fear that the emperor would have the idea of sealing the Chen family as a concubine, if the emperor accepted the Chen family as the imperial concubine, and the Chen family entered the palace to give birth to a healthy and strong little prince to the emperor, then the emperor's honor for himself would come to an end. The three of them have not even been around for three months since they came back, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace have regarded the Rui Wangfu as a topic.

Concubine E's hostility towards Yun'er is getting bigger and bigger, and she can't wait for Yun'er to disappear for a while. But I am convinced by Yun'er's painting art from the heart. Originally, I thought that it was not uncommon to learn from her, but now I think that people will not teach if I want to learn. The Queen Mother is right, why should people teach you when they come back from afar?

It would be nice to see how she moves the pen and how she colors it, eh, there it is.
