Chapter 197: The East Wind Doesn't Come, the Willows Don't Fly (2)
Liu Zhong was very surprised in his heart, but he didn't show any abnormality on his face, and only secretly begged in his heart not to have any trouble. He knows more or less about the entanglement between Zhang Shaoqing and Yin Suwen, but he is very puzzled about the relationship between Yin Suwen and Yin Suxin, only knowing that it was the eldest daughter of the Yin family who found a third daughter who looked similar after she died, and no matter how much there was, there was only speculation.
The painting that was sent to Zhang Shaoqing was only sold because he discovered the special identity of the Yin family's daughter, and Zhang Shaoqing, who got the news, sent a generous gift as soon as possible and said that the Yin family must be removed from the list in time. Now that the ghost has sent the gods to see this painting again, Liu Zhong is shocked to realize that this matter is not so simple. Thinking about it, my heart was even weaker, and my hands trembled a little even when I was rummaging through the roster.
"What, what's the problem?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, no, no problem."
Liu Zhong reacted quickly, disguised his panic as embarrassed, cleared his throat, and pretended to half-conceal a sentence, "It's just that the identity of this young lady is a little special." ”
The roster was handed to her hand, and the Queen Mother's suspicious gaze swept over the detailed paperwork, and Yin Suxin's specific life experience became clear to the public. is still the daughter of the Yin family, but she has become a new woman, and the half-truths and half-truths are mixed together, and there is no suspicion in the slightest.
"Oh, the Yin family? No wonder there are some clever minds. ”
"Empress Dowager Qi, this third lady has never shown up before, and the Yin family took her back to the house after frequent accidents."
The small statue is still in the hands of the Queen Mother, and it looks like she is scrutinizing it. However, a thin painting silk seems to be able to see some splendid carvings.
"The peach blossoms on the human face are red, and the human face does not know where to go??????"
"Peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze."
The Queen Mother looked at the painting a little distractedly, and inadvertently whispered to herself, and the emperor next to her approached to answer the sentence and smiled happily. She also smiled and looked back, reached out and stroked his hair a few times and praised "good emperor", and when she looked down at the painting, the look in her eyes became a little more complicated.
Liu Zhong observed carefully for a long time, but he couldn't see through a little bit of the master's mind at this moment. The Queen Mother's expression when she looked at the painting was neither happy nor angry, quite a little weird that could not be explained, even a clever person like him was a little unsure of whether the sentence "clever thoughts" was praise or depreciation.
The woman in the painting is only half of her face exposed. Even so. In the beautiful painting environment, you can see the painting skills of the person who put the pen. The eyebrows and eyes are bright and pretty, and the figure dancing with the flowers is even more agile, and the beauty that comes out of the paper is not a lie. The quality of this painting does not meet the rules and standards for the selection of paintings, but in contrast. The rest of the mediocre portraits of women were suddenly overshadowed.
deliberately have a peach blossom to cover their faces and want to talk about the artistic conception. The person in the painting has a better chance to stand out and quickly attract attention. That's exactly the case, didn't the emperor just take the initiative to ask for this woman. Thinking about it this way, Liu Zhong concluded that the Queen Mother saw the ingenuity of the person who sent the painting. I was about to take the opportunity to participate in a few words of "this painting does not conform to the rules and etiquette", but before he opened his mouth, he listened to the queen mother's inquiry.
"Is Yin Yuan still in mourning?"
Liu Zhong replied "yes", thought about it, and then turned out a statement from the corresponding document and presented it.
"Lord Yin is still in mourning, and according to the system, the Yin family should not participate in this inner court selection. This is the third lady's own statement of feelings, probably saying that taking the initiative to ask for election is in the name of inheriting the last wish of the deceased, please take a look. ”
Seeing that the person who couldn't hide had already entered the master's eyes, Liu Zhong simply told the information and dish of this Miss Yin, and when he handed over the note, he didn't forget to whisper a sentence: "Two funerals in a row are indeed a little too unlucky." ”
There is not much content in Chen Qing's recital, and only a few key sentences are polite and respectful, which is consistent with what Liu Zhong said. The first thing Miss Yin Jiasan did after returning to the family was to inherit the imperial order of selection, one was to inspire the emperor's grace, and the other was to fulfill her father's will, and she was willing to share the worries and sorrows of His Majesty with a thin daughter. A few small plum blossom seals are like petals that have fallen on a piece of paper, and the Queen Mother has read it several times before and after, and confirmed that this article is indeed written by the third lady herself, and the fingers holding the watch have a slight tremor that cannot be checked.
Yin Suxin, this name is not ordinary enough to attract anyone's attention, but a trace of inexplicable familiarity and confusion flashed in the queen mother's heart for a long time, and even she herself was a little surprised.
The emperor called a few times "Queen Mother", and the Queen Mother slowly closed the scroll paperwork, and ordered Liu Zhong with a calm expression, "Arrange this woman in the palace selection, it is rare for the emperor to like it." ”
Liu Zhong secretly sighed "self-defeating", kowtowed a few times and respectfully retreated, and almost tripped over the porch when he went out, obviously absent-minded. It's just a small portrait that can't see the whole appearance and a short statement of affection, no matter how intuitively he feels, the always quiet Queen Mother is a little flustered. Originally, it was just Zhang Shaoqing, but now that the emperor and the queen mother have been added, and before he saw him, Gonggong Liu had already cursed the third lady of the Yin family dozens of times in his heart. That must be an ominous person, and before the Yin family entered the palace, he first restrained himself from suffering and making a fool of himself in front of everyone, which is really hateful.
"The queen mother is not happy?"
"Nope. The emperor grew up and learned to make his own choices, and the queen mother was happy. ”
"Really?"
"Seriously."
Sensing that the queen mother was in a bad mood after the selection, the emperor only thought that he had made a mistake by making a request without hesitation, and he was relieved after listening to the sentence "seriously".
The inner attendants all retreated to the outer hall to wait, and only the mother and son were left in the warm inner hall, leaning on the window and listening to the wind, which was a leisurely afternoon. The emperor lazily leaned on the queen mother's lap, still patting him for a nap by his mother, but his eyes were staring at the snacks on the table and being greedy, until the queen mother sneered and handed the snacks to him, and then smiled with satisfaction and said, "The queen mother is so good." ”
"You, where do you look like an emperor. I just praised you for growing up, but now you have become a child, even if your mother is too spoiled by you. ”
The emperor, who still had a few nuts stuffed in his mouth, didn't care, and replied casually,
"With the queen mother, the child will not worry about anything."
A sincere sentence sounded good, but it sounded like flattery, and the Queen Mother patted him with a chuckle, her eyes full of love and pity. Her emperor is good at everything, he was born with a good skin with a jade face, filial piety and kindness, but he is the only child who does not grow up. His intelligence will always stay at the age of ten, and his mother calls him a "child", and outsiders will naturally think that he is a "fool". (To be continued......)
PS: The peach blossoms on the human face are red, and they are no longer the people of the old days.
