(Chapter 118) Wanhua River Lantern Shines on the Afterimage (12)
That day in Yuande Temple, it was the first time I got along with Gu Yuancheng so well, we chatted, and also discussed the matter of the blood alliance, he would sometimes find some big and sweet peaches for me, I would also brew the tea I borrowed from the temple for him to drink, talking and laughing The sky darkened in a blink of an eye, we were about to leave Yuande Temple, the monks in the temple looked at us very strangely, one of the little monks who had just entered the temple ran over and grabbed my skirt and asked me, "Female donor, why do you come to Yuande Temple, But you haven't stepped into the Buddha hall for a single step? Don't you believe that my Buddha is compassionate and can bless you? ”
"Mo'an, Hugh is rude." The monks didn't expect their new junior brother to be so bold, and before we were to blame, someone immediately came out to play a round game, "Donor, Mo An has just entered the temple to practice, and his temperament is undecided. ”
"How dare the two of us blame the little master?" I smiled slightly, squatted down close to his ear, and whispered, "Little master, we didn't enter the Buddha hall because we didn't have the money to make incense to the Buddha." After speaking, I stood up and said to the monks and the little monk who was holding the hem of my skirt, "Sincerity is spirituality, although the two of us have not gone in to worship the Buddha, our hearts have already worshipped, and I think the Buddha will definitely see it." ”
Gu Yuancheng seemed to be amused by my words, but he was also interested, and instead of tearing down my lift in front of the public, he helped me, said goodbye to the monks, and left Yuande Temple.
"Senior brother." The little monk who blinked at us and saw us leave grabbed the sleeve of his senior brother and asked curiously, "Is the incense in our temple very expensive?" ”
"What?" The monk who was pulled by his sleeve did not react at once.
The little monk didn't ask again, and decided that it was because the incense in Yuande Temple was too expensive that the female benefactor who couldn't see couldn't pray to the Buddha to restore her eyes.
"I want to be the host of Yuande Temple." He made up his mind.
If I knew that because of a random joke, the monk Mo'an, who succeeded him as the head of Yuande Temple at a young age, would hold a grudge for the rest of his life and beat me to death, I would not have made that joke with him.
Unfortunately, not everyone has the ability to be a prophet.
After returning to the Guogong Mansion, I continued to eat, sleep, and sleep until the day before the Thousand Lights Festival.
"Gu Yuancheng, what did you ask the maid to wear for me? This skirt is a little too long, isn't it? I pulled my skirt down in dissatisfaction and angrily questioned him.
In the short distance from the wing room to his study, I had to fall almost every few steps, and almost crippled me, and if it weren't for the maidservant girl by his side, I would not have had my life to see him.
It was strange for him to pull me out of bed early this morning, and let the maid toss and turn on me without saying a word, without giving a reason.
Gu Yuancheng, who was grinding ink, felt my deep resentment, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at me, but he was stunned at this look.
A lilac gold-painted plum pattern embroidery trailed the ground Shui Luo skirt on her body, like the snow on the Tianshan Mountains covered with a layer of smoke-like tulle, her outside was covered with a moon gold silk Mo Lan robe, white feathers embroidered on her cuffs, just like a little spring falling on the orchid, her waist tied a dark purple inlaid gold flower belt, with a fan-shaped jasper pendant, the jade pendant shimmered in the sun, just like her at this time, it was unreal.
"Gu Yuancheng? Gu Yuancheng! I didn't hear any movement for a long time, and I finally couldn't help but roar, "I'm talking to you, why are you in a daze?" I'm telling you, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll leave the mess behind! ”
"How did your patience get so bad?" Gu Yuancheng muttered, stepped forward and helped me to a couch and sat down.
I pursed my lips and tilted my head to ignore him.
"Do you know I'm good at Danqing?" Gu Yuancheng asked me out loud.
I shook my head, "Aren't you good at playing the piano?" Why didn't you see it for a few days, and then it was changed to Danqing? ”
Gu Yuancheng rolled his eyes and returned to his bookcase, "Can I only be good at one thing?" ”
I lowered my head and thought about it carefully, and felt that Gu Yuancheng should not have bragged to me while I couldn't see it, because whether it was Cen Xi or Du Rong, they did seem to be good at many things.
In this way, wouldn't I be a waste when I'm not good at anything?
The more I thought about it, the more ashamed I became, and a thin layer of red gradually appeared on my face, which was hot, and I quickly covered my face with my sleeve and coughed lightly.
Gu Yuancheng naturally saw my embarrassment, he chuckled, and said to me, "The Thousand Lights Festival is an important day for me to pray to the heavens for the people, according to the practice of our dynasty, every year when the sun rises on the Thousand Lights Festival, the palace painter will draw a picture of Danqing for His Majesty and the Queen, and post it at the palace gate to show the emperor's grace and enjoy with the people." This year, His Majesty wants me to paint a picture for them, but because I haven't brushed for a long time, I want you to be my painter today. ”
I see, but I've heard of it.
"Do you want to practice your hands, what are you doing mysterious?" I tugged at my clothes and shook the bell-like headdress, only to feel awkward, "And I want to dress so ceremoniously." ”
Gu Yuancheng picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, looked me up and down, and replied, "The emperor and queen are more cumbersome, if they are just casual, why do I need to practice?" “
"Alright, alright, let's draw it." In order to cooperate with him, I tried to sit as dignified and decent as a lady, "You finish it sooner, I can go and get some sleep." ”
"Why didn't I notice you being so snooze?" Gu Yuancheng looked at me speechlessly.
"I didn't find out you were Danqing before, huh?" I responded. 52
“......”
Thinking of his purpose today, Gu Yuancheng decided not to talk to me about some useless words anymore, ruining his mood, raised his eyes and carefully observed me for a while, then he lowered his sleeves and began to write.
"Gu Yuancheng, how are you painting?" After a while, I couldn't hold back my mouth and asked him.
Gu Yuancheng only said two words: "Quiet." ”
Painting requires a quiet environment, I know this, but in the face of Gu Yuancheng, I can't calm myself down, I will think too much, think about the future, think about what I will do next, but these, at least for now, I am not too reluctant to think about it.
"I'm also a romantic character, you can't just draw people and ghosts because of my practice." I thought about it, for the sake of my reputation, I had to say this sentence anyway.
"Quiet."
I felt that I shouldn't be too annoying, but when I sat upright and bored for more than half an hour, I couldn't help but say, "This painting can't fit my eyes, and after you finish painting, you will definitely destroy the corpse." ”
"Quiet." Gu Yuancheng didn't say a word.
Let's go, I still want to think about how to face the emperor after returning to Qi Kingdom.
I calmed down, and my mind gradually got back on track.
Gu Yuancheng has always been conceited and talented, painting has never been achieved overnight, today is the first time he has spent so long painting a person, and it is also the first time that he feels that it is not meaningless to practice painting with Uncle Thirteen.
"Why don't you speak?" When the last stroke was completed, Gu Yuancheng suddenly felt that the study was a little too quiet, and when he looked up, he saw that the woman in the light dress had already fallen asleep on the couch.
"You think too highly of me, too." Gu Yuancheng sighed.
I told her a long time ago that she is not a decent gentleman, but she is still so unscrupulous.
Walking to the couch softly, Gu Yuancheng leaned over and picked up the woman on the couch, then carefully put it on the bed, and reached out to cover her with a brocade quilt.
"Why are you from Qinguo?" With a lot of thoughts in his heart, Gu Yuancheng still felt a little uneasy.
If she wasn't the prime minister of Qin, maybe they wouldn't be fighting each other like they are now, guarding against each other, maybe they can still be officials in the same dynasty, support each other, and the road ahead will be smoother.
Maybe he can think a little further, for example, when everything is over, he can accompany her to see the mountains and the heavens.
"Looking at her like this, if you're not careful, you're going to fall into it." The young man in purple clothes shook the folding fan in his hand and walked in slowly.
"If I really got into it, how could she escape?" Gu Yuancheng's voice was a little vague, he thought that this sentence was for him to hear, but in fact, Mei Yan could also hear it.
"Don't take her too simply." Mei Yan approached Gu Yuancheng, folded the fan in his hand, and pointed to the woman sleeping peacefully on the bed, "Are you sure she doesn't have other plans to be obedient to you?" ”
Gu Yuancheng was silent and did not refute him.
Mei Yan only felt ridiculous when she saw this scene, "Yuancheng, how sincere do you really treat her?" ”
"If," Gu Yuancheng ignored Mei Yan's taunt, "you came to me to say these things, then you can leave now." ”
"Tsk, I'm angry." Mei Yan felt that the novelty was tight, and she wanted to tease Gu Yuancheng again, but she didn't prevent him from jumping off the wall in a hurry, so Mei Yan had to talk about the business of coming here today, "Tomorrow's Thousand Lantern Festival, you and her two of you will go, I have other things, so I won't be with you." ”
"Have you made an appointment with Princess Huizhong?"
"Of course not." Mei Yan really hated Pang Heng who came that day, he was really a useless rice bucket, and his whereabouts were found out by Huizhong in a few words, these days, he has lived a miserable life.
"What new things have you found?" As soon as he heard that it was not Princess Huizhong, Gu Yuancheng didn't even have to think about it, he guessed the reason.
Mei Yan mysteriously raised a smile on her face and put the folding fan up in front of her lips.
"Have a great time with the Thousand Lights!"
