At the banquet, Song Shujue and Li Jingheng chatted about the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River from poetry and songs, and Ting Yun scolded her while listening: "As far as she knows, I can't get used to her goblin style when I was a child." ”

A little chamberlain who looked like no more than a teenager came to report: "Your Majesty, Master Sheng has arrived." ”

Shanda? That painter Sheng Ju? I'm curious about what such a character looks like. When Li Jingheng heard this, he said, "Please come to Master Shan." ”

Ting Yun and I turned our heads to look at the screen, and after half a cup of tea, a man wearing a black gauze hat and a romantic hairpin flower was inserted in his sideburns, dressed in a vermilion robe, and his feet were stepping on the clouds. Ting Yun said in my ear: "What an unruly and merry man." ”

I looked at Mr. Sheng carefully, and it looked like he should be about the same age as Li Jingheng, white and chic. "Sheng has seen Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen."

This Sheng Ju is the sweetheart of the daughters of the first few palaces in my palace. Yesterday, when I was eating tea and closing my eyes and sleeping, I listened to gossip in both ears.

It is said that this Sheng Ju Sheng Daren, twenty years old, from Pingyang County, and now lives on the edge of a school outside the capital. When Sheng Daren was young, he won two lifts, but later he entered the palace and studied painting with Mr. Bai as his teacher. After a few more years, he was unjustly punished for offending the villain. Mr. Sheng was not convinced, and said at the time: "I'd rather die than bend my waist for the rats." ”

At that time, the matter was very troublesome, and the first emperor also sent someone to investigate thoroughly, but Mr. Sheng still escaped from the palace without permission.

This Mr. Sheng also had a lot of trouble before the accident. After a while, several senior painters in the palace talked about painting to the younger generations, and this Mr. Sheng not only did not listen, but also took care of himself to paint. An old painter with a big temper immediately said: "I have never seen such a disrespectful person to the teacher, just because you are like this, you are not worthy of painting in this palace, just pack up as soon as possible." ”

Mr. Sheng was not in a hurry, so he replied to the old painter: "I just feel bored by listening to the lectures, and I just want to practice the skills that the teachers said." ”

At that time, the old painter was stunned and finally carried away.

There was another time when everyone painted river shrimp, some people painted lying in the stream, some people painted jumping up, and some people painted dancing long beards, but without exception, they were all shrimp with shrimp bodies and shrimp feet and shrimp whiskers. Only Mr. Sheng is not so painted, some of the shrimp he painted are complete, some are missing a small foot, and some are missing long beards.

The old gentleman looked around, and when he saw Mr. Sheng's, he scolded: "When did I ask you to draw shrimp like this?" ”

"The shrimp I've seen, that's it." Mr. Sheng immediately argued.

"Evil obstacles, I don't know where to learn some crappy drawing, Mr. Bai was blinded by you and accepted you as an apprentice."

Although he was scolded by the old gentleman in public, Mr. Sheng still went his own way. Under the influence of the old gentlemen who were not accustomed to Mr. Sheng, the apprentices also began to ridicule his paintings.

What a digger, who always ignored, defended, and resisted, and always painted his paintings in his own way. Later, probably scolded a lot, and the apprentices gradually lost interest in him, the gentlemen ignored him, and the apprentices excluded him.

I didn't hear many stories, because later the two palace daughters found out that I woke up and hurriedly retreated, and because it was eavesdropping, I was not too embarrassed to chase after people and ask what happened. However, judging from the later incident of Mr. Sheng being framed, I also have a rough guess about what happened later.

Perhaps Mr. Sheng later openly said a lot of bad things about the apprentices, some of them had a bad heart, and there was the matter of Mr. Sheng being calculated not long after. It is also possible that some people are not used to Mr. Sheng's bad temper, even if the painting is still long and handsome, they are jealous, and it is unknown to harm him. Anyway, I think what Mama said is quite right, the more people with high hearts have to pay attention to their mouths, so as not to suffer a secret loss later and not know what is going on.

Mr. Sheng was led by a small eunuch to sit at a long table of begonia wood Ruyi on the side, with various colors of paints on pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"I didn't expect this Sheng Ju to be born well, no wonder there are always two girls in my palace who think about him all day long." Ting Yun whispered in my ear.

I turned my head and said, "I think only those girls in my palace like it." ”

Ting Yun stretched out his hand and took a small bite in a plate of fried shredded pork with fresh bamboo shoots floating by, and put it in a small bowl: "It is estimated that those who admire him in this palace can make up a women's army." ”

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I heard this, what a women's army. When I looked up again, I happened to see Li Jingheng who was laughing with Song Shujue next to him, and the next second he also looked at me. I hurriedly looked away and looked at a vegetable leaf in my bowl, vegetable leaf, vegetable leaf, why are you so green?

was originally a banquet to celebrate Lang's pregnancy, but it became a poetry meeting between Li Jingheng and Song Shujue. I suddenly remembered that Fang Cailang was helped down to rest, and I don't know what happened now. I glanced at Yun Zhi, Yun Zhi understood, moved closer and asked, "Niangniang?" ”

I said, "Go and see what is going on with Lang Girl, and if she says she won't come to this feast, go and ask her what she wants to eat, and you go and get some of it." It must not be convenient for Mama Li next to her to take care of her. ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go." Yunzhi blessed me slightly, and then went. Ting Yun asked me, "What's wrong with Lang Yu?" ”

I replied: "Xu was angry when she confronted that Song Shujue, she was tired and scared, and her face was not very good when I arrived. ”

After hearing what I said, Ting Yun desperately lowered his voice and scolded angrily: "This Song Shujue is really a harmful spirit. ”

"You accumulate some virtue, don't make a mouth, beware that God doesn't give you face, so that you will be happy two or three years later." I say.

"Bah, you have it, God must hate that guy too, she is annoying to see people, and immortals don't want to see immortals." Ting Yun chewed the meat fiercely in his mouth, as if he mistook the piece of meat in his mouth for Song Shujue.

Song Shujue over there was a smile and a toast, Sutang Niangniang greeted her with a smile, and Li Jingheng also smiled at the corner of her mouth, smiling like a flower in the early spring rain in the imperial garden. Laugh and laugh, laugh a ghost!

After a cup of tea, Yun Zhi came back to me: "Niangniang, Liu Niangniang said that she was not feeling well, so she went back to the palace to rest first." ”

I asked, "Does Lang have anything to eat, but is there something wrong with her body?" ”

Yunzhi replied to me: "Back to Niangniang, Liu Niangniang said that she had no appetite and didn't want to eat, so she told Niangniang not to remember." Mother, do you need to tell Your Majesty? ”

Oh, tell Li Jingheng? His wife was pregnant with his child, and now he was angry and had no appetite, but he used this banquet to celebrate the arrival of his son and chatted with the beauty. I looked at them coldly and said to Yunzhi, "Go to the court, just follow Lang's original words, I'm here to see what he does." ”

"Yes."

Ting Yun sandwiched a small piece of sauce elbow for me: "How is Lang Wan?" ”

I said, "I was going to ask the kitchen to make some soup for her, but she said she didn't have an appetite." ”

Hearing this, Ting Yun hurriedly said: "Then what can I do, she is pregnant now, no one can starve her if she is hungry, hurry up, ask the small kitchen to make light food and send it over, and ask her to eat some." ”

The big maid beside her hurriedly responded: "Eh, mother, the slave will go and inform the small kitchen." ”

I also felt that what Ting Yun said was reasonable, so I didn't say anything. Ting Yun beckoned to Sleeve Luo again: "You go and ask Imperial Doctor Wen to check Lang's pulse, quickly." ”

I praised Ting Yun's thoughtfulness: "I didn't expect you to be careful." ”

Ting Yun glanced at me: "When was I not careful?" But you, she said that if she doesn't eat it, you will rely on her? What should I do with the golden lady in her stomach when she is hungry? ”

"Now you're not jealous of Lang's belly?" I couldn't help but joke with her.

"No, I'm still looking forward to waiting for her to give birth to a big fat son and a big fat girl to come and play with us." Ting Yun sandwiched another piece of pork ribs for me: "This lotus root steamed pork ribs is sweet, you can taste it." It's really delicious made by the chef here from Sister Sutang, and the chef in my small kitchen can't always make this taste.
