The painter of the palace is a middle-aged man, his name is Yunhua, he is not very old, wearing a gray-white brocade robe, looking very learned, seeing Shen Seventeen approaching, he saluted and greeted, "Weichen greets the third princess!" The lowered head, the face was very surprised, it was only just over two months, the last time he saw the third princess, at that time her figure was really terrifying, leaving an indelible impression on him, but the more indelible impression was her bright eyes, he always felt that her shining eyes were the work of heaven, dazzling like the stars in the sky.

But even if he had tried his best to barely catch the other party's drawing, and deliberately protruded those bright eyes, it still couldn't hide Shen Qiqi's own shortcomings--her fatness, after the painting was finished, he always felt that the painting was like a fake, and he was always very dissatisfied, he thought that people with such eyes should not look like this, at least not so terrifying.

And now that she saw the third princess Shen Seventeen again, Yun Hua was immediately amazed by her appearance, this, this is still the three princesses two months ago? Why is there such a big difference? The goose yellow dress sets off her slender figure as light and feminine as a feather, although her figure is not yet slender Yingying, but it is enough to make people very satisfied, only some blush is smeared on the face, white and red, just such a simple makeup, it is already very beautiful and moving, this is probably the so-called natural beauty, there is no need for any rouge gouache dress, the shining eyes will set off her beauty more dazzling, this is a woman worthy of these eyes! Yun Hua was amazed and shocked in his heart, the three princesses have changed so much! Let everyone who sees it can't help but be shocked and attracted.

"The painter is not polite, how to paint this time?" Shen Qiqi stood in front of Yunhua, kept an appropriate distance, and went straight to the topic, just because she wanted to end it quickly, every time she painted a self-portrait, she liked to move around, and she couldn't stay motionless.

"Just sit on the chair of the princess."

Yun Hua, who recovered from the shock, pointed to a chaise longue that had been placed in the distance, "You don't need to be too deliberate, just sit upright as usual, and leave the rest to Weichen." ”

"There's a painter."

Shen Qiqi sat on the chaise longue as usual, with his hands on his legs, his eyes looking straight ahead, all his thoughts.

Yunhua saw that after the three princesses sat down, adjusted the drawing paper, and began to paint for Shen Seventeen, and soon finished half of it, when he raised his head again, he found that the third prince Gu Jinghuai came from behind the three princesses, he wanted to salute, but was stopped by Gu Jinghuai, and made a silent gesture to him, Yunhua had to continue to complete his work.

After he finished painting, Shen Qiqi still didn't come back to his senses, still maintaining the posture of sitting upright, and when she felt sore, and finally knew how to move, she found that Gu Jinghuai didn't know when she was already beside her.

"Lord Wang?" She looked up at the people who had appeared.

"Hmm."

Gu Jinghuai responded, turned to Yun Hua and said, "Trouble the painter to paint another picture for this king and princess." ”

Yun Hua naturally agreed, but he himself was also willing to paint for the third princess Shen XVII again, Shen XVII sat on the chair, twisting his eyebrows, although he was not very happy, but he still sat and did not move, Gu Jinghuai was standing beside her, and Yun Hua was painting on the side.

After finishing the painting, Shen Qiqi felt that her shoulders were sore, and her shoulders didn't move for two hours, she felt that if she persisted, her shoulders would be wasted, and she hadn't seen how Yunhua had drawn, she had already told Gu Jinghuai to return to the Green Pavilion to rest.

Shen Qiqi left, but Gu Jinghuai did not leave in a hurry, but walked to Yunhua's side, looking at the portrait he had just made of himself and Shen Qiqi, his cold face could not see his emotions, but those deep eyes obviously lit up.

"This painting is for the king."

He said to Yunhua.

"Weichen knows, wait for Weichen to go back and make a little modification, and then send it to the prince, the prince thinks this is good?"

"Hmm."

Since he painted the self-portrait that day, Shen Qiqi hasn't seen Gu Jinghuai for several days, and it seems that everyone has been busy recently, and there are always many people coming in and out of Mowang's Mansion.

In March, it began to rain continuously, the rain was not heavy, but it continued to rain, it kept falling, Shen XVII didn't like this season the most, but every year the spring in the imperial city was like this, she didn't like it and had nothing to do.

Taking advantage of the fact that the rain was lighter, Shen Qiqi asked Bai Ruo to hold an umbrella for herself, she planted the peach blossom saplings one by one in the pit that had been dug, and then covered the roots with soil, Shen Qiqi thought that if she planted it this year, maybe it would be able to bloom the peach blossoms in the garden in any year, but I don't know if there is a chance to see it.

When it was done, Shen Qiqi's whole body was stained with a lot of mud, she went back to the palace to change her clothes, and as soon as she changed her clothes and sat down, she saw Haitang walk in, followed by a maid in the palace, and after the maid saluted Shen XVII, she explained her intention.

"Back to the princess, the queen mother ordered the slave maid to ask the princess today, when will the princess be able to enter the palace to accompany her old man, the queen mother misses you deeply."

After Shen XVII heard this, his eyebrows moved slightly, thinking that he seemed to have not entered the palace for a long time to accompany the Queen Mother, and felt very sorry in his heart, so he should get off the maidservant, he would enter the palace tomorrow, and asked her to tell the Queen Mother, and by the way, in order to express his apologies, Shen Seventeen also personally went to boil a cup of lily lotus seed ginseng soup and asked the maid to send it to the palace for the Queen Mother.

Sending the maidservant away, Shen Qiqi planned to make a bag for the Empress Dowager to show her liking for herself.

The next day, when Shen Qiqi just wanted to go out, he met Yi Qingwu, who she hadn't seen for a few days, and she also looked like she was about to go out.

"Is my sister going to the palace today? What a coincidence, sister, I am also preparing to enter the palace, why don't we join us? Sister doesn't mind, right? Yi Qingwu said to Shen Seventeen.

Shen Qiqi didn't know what Yi Qingwu was saying when he entered the palace, but he didn't refuse what she said, anyway, both of them entered the palace, as long as Yi Qingwu didn't always bother herself, she didn't care who she entered the palace with.

Along the way, although Yi Qingwu still wanted to chat with Shen Qiqi, she was indifferent, she had to close her mouth in a timely manner, and did not continue to speak, the two entered the palace, Shen Qiqi went directly to the Jingxin Palace, Yi Qingwu was also invited to the palace, and it was her sister Yi Wanxi who invited her into the palace.

The two went their separate ways, and soon parted ways, each heading to the palace they were going to.

Shen Seventeen went to the Meditation Palace, and was asked by the Queen Mother, "Seventeen, why didn't you go into the palace to accompany the mourning family recently?" The mourning family also heard that you have lost weight recently, come, let the mourning family take a good look, ouch, it's really thin, seventeen has become almost not even recognizable to the mourning family, it's so good! "It's good to be young, looking at the Queen Mother, she whispered at the end, because it was too quiet, Shen Seventeen didn't hear Shen clearly even if he was next to him.

"Queen Mother, Seventeen is sorry for you, I haven't been in the palace to accompany you recently, in order to express Seventeen's apology, Seventeen specially made a bag for the Queen Mother overnight, I like the Queen Mother."

After Shen Seventeen finished speaking, he took out the bag he made last night from his sleeve and handed it to the Queen Mother, who took the bag and looked at it carefully, and then praised, "Seventeen's craftsmanship is really good, not only the soup is good, but the female worker is also so good, Mo'er married you, the princess, it is really his third life luck, and the mourning family is also happy for him." ”

Happy? I can't see that Gu Jinghuai is happy.

Shen Qiqi muttered in her heart, with a cold face all day long, she doubted that he would laugh.

"Queen Mother, you will make fun of Seventeen, this is what Seventeen should do, and the Queen Mother is happy when Seventeen is happy."

This is Shen Seventeen's sincere words, the Queen Mother has never disliked her, and when she is so sincere, she naturally hopes that she can coax her to be happy.

"The mourning family is making fun of you, the mourning family is still looking forward to you giving birth to a doll for the mourning family as soon as possible, so that the mourning family is not so boring."

Looking at the Queen Mother, she suddenly said sadly, "Although there are many concubines in the emperor's harem, there is still no heir, and the mourning family is anxious!" ”

"The emperor has a lot of opportunities every day, and there are so many things to deal with in the court, maybe there is no such idea for the time being, the queen mother, you don't have to be too anxious, when the emperor wants it, it will naturally be there."
