Chapter 235: Heart
"Your landscape painting still lacks some artistic conception." His eyes fell on Zhong Changzai's painting, and the emperor remembered the days when he sent the painting to Hua Ying at that time, did he not take into account her feelings these days? In short, the emperor thought of Hua Ying for everything.
Zhong Changzai also guessed a rough idea when she saw this, although she didn't know the emperor very well, but who the emperor's heart was more inclined to, she still probably had a guess of her own, and the only one who could make the emperor have such a tangled expression on his face was Concubine Yun.
"The concubine's Danqing level is indeed not high, the concubine has already said that the emperor should not make fun of the concubine, but what about Concubine Yun's Danqing level?" Since the emperor thinks about Hua Ying, then she might as well mention it.
The emperor didn't expect that the person Zhong Changzai was worried about was Hua Ying, so he still said with a cold face: "Concubine Yun's Danqing skills are not good, but they are also good, what do you mention her for no reason." ”
"Concubine Yun Niangniang is beautiful and kind-hearted, and when the concubine enters the palace, she likes Concubine Yun Niang, so naturally she will often mention it, doesn't the emperor allow the concubine to praise Concubine Yun?" Zhong Changzai knew that the emperor's hard mouth was also a manifestation of caring about Concubine Yun, there was a conflict between them, the emperor could say that Concubine Yun was not good, but he must praise Concubine Yun, so that he could help the two resolve the conflict, and he could also leave an empathetic reputation in front of the emperor.
The emperor looked stunned, but he didn't know that Zhong Changzai's evaluation of Hua Ying was so high, he was suspicious of Hua Ying because the new concubines didn't like Hua Ying, but now that he looks at it, is it really his own news that is wrong?
"Yan Guiren and Hui both think that Concubine Yun is a difficult person to get along with, you like Concubine Yun, but what is the reason?"
Zhong Changzai secretly said that it was really because of this matter, and the emperor was really suspicious: "Difficult to get along with? How so?" She feigned shock.
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not, Concubine Yun is the most empathetic concubine the concubine has ever seen, of course it can't be counted as the queen mother, the queen is the mother of the country, but Concubine Yun is also a very generous and careful person, when the concubine first entered the palace, Concubine Yun Niangniang specially let people see how the concubine is doing, and added a lot of things to the concubine, mainly these things are not like other rewards, but the concubine can really use them."
Zhong Changzai had a very good impression of Hua Ying, and saying a few good words would not affect him, so he simply told the facts and let the emperor judge for himself: "Yan Guiren and Hui promised to find Concubine Yun before, because they found the queen mother first, and asked the queen mother to help us think of a way to see the emperor a few more times, the queen mother said that your favorite is Yun Fei Niangniang, so the concubines went to find Yun Concubine Niangniang again, during which the two of them were a little unhappy with Yun Fei Niangniang, which is also reasonable." ”
"Tell me, how can it be reasonable?" The emperor's mind was shaken, but he still said so.
"Yan Guiren and Hui promised that the two sisters had just entered the court, and they were offended by Concubine Yun Niangniang between words, and the concubines felt that Concubine Yun Niangniang had not driven the concubines out, and she was already the prime minister's belly to support the boat, and she didn't know who spread rumors about Concubine Yun Niangniang like this." Zhong Changzai will not deliberately say that the two are not good, only that they have just entered the court and do not understand human feelings: "Yan Guiren also wants to have more contact with you, so he offended Concubine Yun Niangniang between his words, for example, if Concubine Yun deliberately occupies you, don't blame her, although Yan Guiren said this, he is by no means a person who spreads rumors, and I am afraid that he is also a subordinate who spreads false rumors." ”
Indeed, Yan Guiren and Hui agreed to listen to what the queen said and stayed away from Hua Ying, but they didn't say anything excessive, but the queen took advantage of this.
Only then did the emperor understand that he was confused by his appearance, and asked people to inquire about Yan Guiren's opinion of Hua Ying, and the bad feedback they got was just because they disagreed with Hua Ying before, so who was behind the boat?
"I understand, and I won't worry about this anymore." Even if he knew what was going on, the emperor still felt that Hua Ying's attitude towards him today was really bad, and although his face eased a lot, he still didn't plan to take the initiative to find Hua Ying.
This has nothing to do with Zhong Changzai, the emperor finally came to her once, but he couldn't all delay in persuading the two of them to reconcile, and Zhong Changzai was not so nosy: "Since the emperor understands, come and teach Danqing to teach the concubine, so you really can't do it." ”
"Your skills are already good, in the harem, you can rank at the top." Only then did the emperor shift his attention to Zhong Changzai's body, and it seemed that he also realized that it was indeed inappropriate for him to treat Zhong Changzai like this, but the emperor was the emperor after all, how could he always consider the feelings of others everywhere, even if he did, it would be in moderation, and it was impossible to take care of it everywhere.
Zhong Changzai also understood this truth, even if he could see that the emperor was absent-minded, he still continued to coquettishly say: "The emperor will be embarrassed to praise the concubines and concubines like this, it will be the birthday of the queen mother in a few days, how does the emperor think the concubine will give the queen mother a painting?"
Hua Ying also gave the Queen Mother a painting when she was a nobleman, it was really a coincidence everywhere, the emperor's thoughts were flying, but he only answered Zhong Changzai perfunctorily: "Yes, the emperor likes to use sincere gifts, if you can do what she likes, the emperor will be happy." ”
"When the emperor said this, the concubines were relieved." Zhong Changzai was a little helpless, the emperor's heart was not here, but she wanted to act in a play alone, quite a feeling of talking to herself, so that no one felt uncomfortable, but she was facing a king, and she couldn't show her displeasure.
On the contrary to her, only the former Fucha clan and the current Hua Ying are the only ones who show their feelings, and both of them also have the capital to show their moods, unlike Zhong Changzai, although his family background is good, but in the end he is just a Changzai, she doesn't dare to treat the emperor like this.
The emperor's heart is in Jingyang Palace, so naturally he didn't notice the emotional changes of the people around him, even if he did, the emperor might not have seen it, he casually picked up a pen: "Look, if you write like this here, it will be much better, but if I help you change it, your painting may have to be repainted." ”
"Although the emperor writes, the left and right concubines are at this level, even if the emperor doesn't use the pen, the concubines have to redraw by themselves." Zhong Changzai couldn't help but smile bitterly, just like herself, even if the emperor doesn't ask for anything for herself, she should find her own way, and now when she is young, she can still get the emperor's favor for one or two points, so what about the future? She is not completely sure that she can be like Hua Ying, who has been pampered for a few years, and has two children as her support.
"Well, then, I don't have any worries." The emperor didn't notice Zhong Chang's ugly smile, his Danqing was indeed superb, otherwise he would not be able to coax Hua Ying's heart to bloom, the emperor has mastered a lot of things over the years, whether it is horseback riding and archery, or calligraphy Danqing, to be able to sit in this position, it is also a lot of hard work.
Zhong Chang watched the emperor wave his pen, but his heart was even more bitter, feeling that the emperor was only perfunctory to stay here, it was better to persuade the emperor and let him solve the matter with Concubine Yun, even if he lost a chance to sleep, he still thought that he should not meddle anymore, now it seems that even if he doesn't care about himself, he can't get any benefits, but before she can speak, let the emperor go to find Concubine Yun, but Gonggong Li Quan took the lead in coming in.
"The slave asked the emperor to say goodbye, and disturbed the emperor and Zhong Chang." Li Quan also had a bitter face, and it was a big taboo for the masters to come in and disturb when they were talking, but this was also something that had to be done, and he was followed by his little apprentice Xiao Pingzi.
The emperor naturally felt disturbed by Li Quan, but fortunately, he had just solved a problem in his heart, so he didn't care, raised his eyes and glanced at Li Quan, and didn't stop painting in his hands, just said: "Get up, what's the matter that can't be talked about later?"
"If you go back to the emperor, the slave thought that you hadn't had dinner today, so he brought some pastries and snacks, and the slave made a big mistake today, I hope the emperor can forgive the slave for this mistake." What he said was wrong, but because he handed over the meal made by Hua Ying to the emperor to Xiao Pingzi, but his foolish apprentice forgot about this stubble, and he didn't care about it, so he completely forgot it, and now that the emperor left Jingyang Palace, he remembered that when he asked Xiao Pingzi, Xiao Pingzi was shocked, and he realized that something was wrong, and now he only hopes that the two masters will have a conflict, not because of those plates of pastries, otherwise he has ten heads and is not enough to atone for his sins.
"If you have something, please just say it, I said that I am not hungry, what did you bring to me?" The emperor was puzzled in his heart, Li Quan was not such a reckless person.
"If you go back to the emperor, Concubine Yun Niangniang once went to the Palace of Nourishing Heart during the day today, wanting to ask the emperor for peace, and by the way, she sent some pastries and snacks made by Concubine Yun Niangniang, but at that time, the Fei nobles were inside, and Concubine Yun was afraid of disturbing the emperor, so she handed over the food to the slave, and asked the slave to send it to the emperor after a while, but the slave was busy serving the emperor, so he handed over the matter to the people below. Li Quan didn't forget to slap Xiao Pingzi on the head: "Don't you slap yourself in the mouth!" ”
Xiao Pingzi had already discussed with his master that in order to be able to keep his position and head, he had to be ruthless, so he slapped himself in the face one after another, and he was really strong when he heard the sound.
"Slaves are guilty...... The slave is sorry for the emperor and the master...... The emperor forgave the minions once so that the minions could continue to serve by the emperor's side...... Ask the emperor for forgiveness......"
The noise of crying and howling mixed with slapping almost made the emperor's head hurt, and he hurriedly slapped the table: "Okay! ”
Xiao Pingzi stopped, his face was swollen like a pig's head, and the emperor didn't continue to punish him, but said with a black face: "You guys are getting more and more careless in doing things, go to the Internal Affairs Office to say it yourself, and I don't need to give you monthly silver for the next half a year." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Quan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and without waiting for him to say anything more, the emperor said first: "Next time, be smarter, in the end, it is the person in front of the emperor, if you disfigure yourself, then you will cut off your future." ”
"The emperor is the most kind and compassionate, and when he goes back, he will find some medicine for Xiao Pingzi, so as to ensure that it will not affect the demeanor of the emperor, you can rest assured." Li Quan expected that the emperor would not be ruthless, but he didn't expect that the emperor didn't even let Xiaopingzi suffer from a board.
"Go and bring me the food that Concubine Yun made for me."
