Ling Ruo nodded and said, "Well, if Sanfu wakes up, remember to tell this palace." In addition, notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let them choose a cemetery for Jade to bury, although she is a subordinate, but don't be too bad, how much silver is needed, just deduct it from the palace monthly. ”

"Yes, the slave will do it later, and the master's kindness will be blessed in the future." Yang Hai is different from Shui Xiu, he only followed Ling Ruo after he entered the palace, but what he has seen and heard in the past three years has convinced him of Ling Ruo, and he is also glad that he can meet a master who values love and righteousness. For example, this time of Jade, originally at this time, as long as Sanfu did not die, he would definitely be loyal to the master, not only because his life was saved by the master, but also because he had no other way out. And in this case, the aftermath of a dead person can be handed over to someone to do casually, and there is no need to mention it at all.

Ling Ruo didn't know what Yang Hai was thinking, so he only smiled bitterly: "Being in the palace, my hands have already been stained with blood, so the palace has long been not extravagant, I just hope that in the dark, the Yin Vulture will not be injured too much, so as not to harm future generations." ”

There was nothing to say for a day, and in the evening, Hongli was showing Ling Ruo the oil paintings he had painted in the past two days, and asked her to help pick the best one to give to Wu Yashi.

After Ling Ruo rejected one painting after another, Hongli finally couldn't help but say: "Eniang, isn't this picture of a tired bird returning to the nest bad?" Erchen thinks that this painting is the most beautiful and realistic, and the brushwork is also the best. ”

Ling Ruo smiled and took back the painting that had been put aside, on which several birds and geese were flapping their wings and cutting through the sky, flying towards the bird's nest built among the branches, the sunset on the horizon was enchanting, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed most of the sky and the palace with red walls and yellow tiles below, which was very beautiful.

"E-Niang doesn't deny that your painting is good, but it's very bad luck to give it to the Queen Mother. Seeing Hongli shaking her head, she sighed lightly and said, "The Queen Mother is seriously ill and may not survive this autumn." And this painting is not only painted with tired birds returning to the nest, but also at the setting sun, are you alluding to the queen mother's deadline? ”

Hongli hurriedly denied, "No! Erchen didn't mean that! Erchen just thought that this painting was good, and there was no insinuation of the emperor's grandmother. In fact, the imperial grandmother's sick son was also very sad, but it was a pity that she was powerless and couldn't help the imperial grandmother. ”

"E-Niang naturally knows that you are filial, but others don't know the way, in case this painting is seen and used to make a fuss, you will have to suffer, so ah, this painting can never be used."

"Erchen has learned about it, thank you for reminding me." Hongli was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and without waiting for Ling Ruo to make a move, he took down the painting himself.

When he saw the last painting, Ling Ruo carefully studied it and said, "This painting is not bad, although the brushwork is poor, but it is very suitable for presenting to the Queen Mother." ”

Hongli poked his head and found that he had painted the rising sun earlier, because he had just painted not long ago, and he was not familiar with the brushwork, so the overall painting style was very immature, and even the scenery below was still a little deformed, and he really couldn't take it, he glanced at Ling Ruo and said, "Eniang, is this painting really suitable?" Otherwise, Erchen will draw another one. ”

"No need, just this one, the quality of the painting style lies secondly, the most important thing is your mind, otherwise as the queen mother, what kind of painting you want, even Tang Bohu's is also readily available. And the artistic conception of this painting is just right, which can make the Queen Mother feel open and not always think about her illness. ”

Hongli said suspiciously: "Is there really such an effect?" ”

Ling Ruo stroked his shoulder and said, "The rising sun means that after a night of silence, everything begins to recover, and look at the trees you painted, every tree and every grass gives people a sense of vitality and prosperity; When I saw it just now, I felt in a very good mood, and I wonder if there is anything more suitable for your imperial grandmother than this? ”

Listening to Ling Ruo's explanation, Hongli had all the doubts in his heart, and said with a smile: "Well, then tomorrow Erchen will send this painting to the imperial grandmother, hoping that she will be in a better mood, which will also help her condition." ”

Ling Ruo was just about to speak, when Yin Zhen's voice suddenly came from outside, "What are you mother and son talking about, so lively?" ”

"Your Majesty." Ling Ruo and Hongli hurriedly got up and saluted, at that time, Yinzhen changed into a royal blue bat-patterned civilian clothes, and without waiting for Ling Ruo to bow down, he helped her and said warmly: "There are no outsiders, no need to salute." ”

At this time, Hongli had already knelt down on one knee and said: "Erchen greets Huang Ama, and Huang Ama is auspicious." ”

"Get up." Saying this, Yin Zhen let go of Ling Ruo's hand, picked up the paintings that were still spread out on the table, and said, "Are you talking about these paintings just now?" Look at this style of painting, it is an oil painting from the West, who painted it. ”

Hongli was about to speak, Ling Ruo had already stopped him, and said with a smile: "The concubine is brave, please guess the emperor, is it the concubine or Hongli?" ”

"Let me guess?" Yin Zhen shook his head with a smile, took the painting and carefully took it, Sixi who came with him had never seen a Western oil painting, so he leaned over curiously, and after being discovered by Yin Zhen, he quickly lowered his head.

Yin Zhen glanced at him and said, "Okay, don't pretend to be honest in front of me, even if you see it, you can guess together." ”

"Huh." Sixi carefully agreed, carefully looked at the painting in Yinzhen's hand, and said with a smile: "This kind of painting slave is the first time, the painting is the same as the real one, so good, it should be painted by Concubine Xi." ”

Hongli glanced at him and said deliberately: "Grandpa Xi means that my painting skills are poor?" ”

Sixi hurriedly slapped Qian'er and said: "The fourth elder brother has wronged the slave, you are both civil and military, Master Zhu can often praise the fourth elder brother in front of the emperor, how can the painting skills be bad, but the slave thinks that compared to Concubine Xi, you ......" He laughed and whispered: "You are slightly inferior to that." ”

Hongli said angrily: "I've been talking about it for so long, doesn't it mean that my painting skills are not as bad as Eniang." ”

Sixi lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, but Yinzhen said: "Your E-Niang has a great talent, and you are familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so what's so strange about you being as good as your E-Niang." But I don't think this painting was painted by your mother. The reason why the paintings look realistic is because of the relationship between the painting method and color, and the painting skills of these paintings are still a little immature, especially this painting of the rising sun, which is lacking as a whole. I heard that a new Western painter recently taught oil painting, Hongli, these are your paintings, right? ”

"Yes, it was painted by Erchen." Speaking of which, Hongli took the picture of the rising sun and said: "E-Niang said to give this painting to Huang Zuma, Huang Ama, do you say okay?" ”

Yin Zhen had already carefully looked at the painting just now, and naturally understood the situation in it, and said immediately: "Since your mother said it, naturally there will be no mistake, your imperial grandmother will be very happy to see it, why don't you send it now, and accompany the imperial grandmother to dinner by the way." ”
