At the end of this meeting, we finally saw Mr. Sheng's masterpiece.

The scroll, which is two and a half feet long and less than one foot wide, does not have a trace of color other than ink, and Mr. Sheng uses ink color to the extreme. It is to use burnt, thick, heavy, light, and clear to draw out the people on the table. Although there are no colors to draw the color of the clothes, hair accessories, jewelry, but everyone can recognize them at a glance.

I and Ting Yun bowed their heads and talked to each other, and Su Tang elegantly raised his wrist to Li Jingheng who was talking to Song Shujue on the side, and then later, Yuan Chu tilted his head to taste the food, and the beauty who had not been in the palace for a long time sipped restrainedly. I couldn't help but say, "That's wonderful." ”

Although my voice was very quiet, it was for Ting Yun, but it is estimated that Song Shujue was also close to me and heard it. The next second, I heard Song Shujue say: "I really can't see the beauty of this painting, where the beauty is, maybe my vision is small and my knowledge is short." Sister Xian Concubine is well-informed, can you talk to me and let me increase my knowledge? ”

I turned my head to look at Song Shujue, who was standing next to Li Jingheng, looking at me with a smile. I ignored her and said to myself: "I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, but I have heard of Mr. Sheng's name for a long time, and it is rare to see a masterpiece today, which is really evocative." ”

Sheng Ju stroked his short beard and asked me, "Where does Concubine Xian Niangniang think this picture is the most evocative?" ”

I smiled, pointed to the smiling flower branch trembling next to Li Jingheng and said, "When did Mr. change the dress for Miss Song?" ”

When I saw the hairpin on Song Shujue's head on the picture, I understood that this black-bellied Mr. Sheng was also dissatisfied with people like Miss Song, and then looked closely at the faintly light under the tablecloth, everyone's shoes were there, but Miss Song was not wearing shoes, and she was showing a finger outside the tablecloth.

Who doesn't wear shoes today? Crazy people, vulgar people don't wear shoes. Looking at the head of Song Shujue's head, the head of the belt has also been replaced with a silk loa, don't you secretly poke and say Miss Song, did you run to this palace and insist on being a vulgar village woman who relied on the arbor for the emperor?

Sheng Ju was happy when he heard this: "I can still secretly use my little trick." ”

Ting Yun stared at the person on the painting for a while and reacted, leaning over my shoulder and laughing in a low voice. Xu Tang also saw it, and hid his face and chuckled. The corners of Li Jingheng's mouth twitched, probably too.

Mr. Sheng said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, Sheng has always liked to make some changes to the painting, so as to make the picture more harmonious, if Your Majesty does not like it, the minister will definitely go back and make changes." ”

After he finished speaking, I couldn't help but sweat for him, after all, Li Jingheng could allow his new love to be alluded to Silo's vulgarity? Unexpectedly, Li Jingheng smiled: "It's okay, Mr. Sheng really lives up to his reputation, his painting skills are exquisite, it's a pity not to stay." ”

Mr. Sheng waved his hand at him: "Sheng is used to living a simple and free life among the people, and when he comes back to the palace, I'm afraid that he is not used to it, and it is easy to break the rules and regulations of the palace." ”

If you want me to say that this Mr. Sheng is really bold, in the face of Li Jingheng, he dares to say it. Ting Yun laughed enough and said in my ear: "This Sheng Ju is still a very good scolding person, look at Song Shujue, I haven't reacted to what happened to Sheng Ju's painting, it's really vulgar hahahaha." ”

If you want me to say that this Mr. Sheng is really bold, in the face of Li Jingheng, this emperor who didn't dare to squeak when the people saw it, dared to say it. Ting Yun laughed enough and said in my ear: "This Sheng Ju is still a very good scolding person, look at Song Shujue, I haven't reacted to what happened to Sheng Ju's painting, it's really vulgar hahahaha." ”

The maid beside Song Shujue said two words in her ear, and in an instant, Song Shujue's face was not good-looking, and the smile at Li Jingheng froze on her face like frost. "I don't know what Mr. means? The little woman somehow displeased her husband, so she asked her to arrange me on the painting. ”

Ting Yun and I watched the show on the side, Li Jingheng sat down slowly and leisurely, and we also sat down with a blessing to him. Master Sheng said unhurriedly: "Mrs. Song's words are wrong, Mr. Sheng really can't see where Mr. Sheng's paintings are arranged by Mrs. Song?" ”

This time, Song Shujue was by no means embarrassed to tell how he was arranged in front of the harem concubines and Li Jingheng, and I secretly said in my heart that I deserved to be the object of admiration of the daughters of the harem. Song Shujue seemed to be speechless when asked, so she kept saying angrily: "You, you...... You, you! ”

Li Jingheng suddenly said: "I don't feel that something is wrong, it's very good." Reward. ”

After Li Jingheng finished speaking, the guard beside him answered, and it was time to give Mr. Sheng a reward.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this picture will be polished by someone Sheng, and then presented to Your Majesty, the queen and the mother." Sheng Ju waved at Li Jingheng.

Ting Yun couldn't help but laugh, because I heard her keep making "poof" sounds in my ear, I looked back at her, and sure enough, she was hiding her sleeves and chuckling. I asked her, "What are you laughing at, what are you laughing at, what is ridiculous to share with me?" ”

"You are really, didn't you hear that Your Majesty and Lord Sheng Ju don't like Song Shujue, isn't this a happy event? I also came to the palace as a good person like my father's fortress Song Shujue. ”

I said, "Good guy, Mr. Sheng just mocked her, even changed her title, and added a 'adult'." ”

She came to beat me: "You are a splash, looking for a fight." ”

However, didn't Song Guoxiang really want to stuff Song Shujue in? There are few people in this country's prime minister's mansion, and if you look at the big house of Tingyun, there are only two men and one woman. Ting Yun from the other room told me, she said: My second and fourth uncles are basically men, and the girls are either too old to wait for His Majesty to ascend the throne and get married early, or the little lady of the fourth room is only two years old this year.

It stands to reason that there are no school-age female dependents in the Guogong Mansion, but this time the courtiers want to expand the harem for Li Jingheng to prosper the royal heirs, but the Guogong Mansion has already released the news to send people, and the whole palace knows about it.

There are many gossip stories in the palace, among which there are about the successor of the first emperor, that is, the sister of the prime minister, who was sent to the palace by the eldest brother of the prime minister. Within two years after being sent to the palace, she sat on the seat of the concubine, and later succeeded Li Jingheng to her name. At that time, Song Guifei Niangniang was one name short of the queen.

I heard that after the death of the first queen, the first emperor set up Song Guifei as the queen, and the officials tried their best to stop it at that time. Some say "The power of the Prime Minister's Mansion has increased dramatically, Your Majesty thinks twice", some say "Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman, a beauty confuses the king, Your Majesty can't rashly set up a queen", and some say "The queen has just gone, Your Majesty is going to set up another queen, Your Majesty is going to chill the heart of the queen".

Although the hundred officials either bluntly admonished or wrote to participate, the first emperor still set up Song Guifei as the queen as soon as the first seven days passed. Soon Song Guifei gave birth to two princes, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was also power-leaning towards the government and the opposition for a while.

With the story of Queen Song, there is a saying in the palace, saying that the prime minister is ambitious, and this time the new emperor ascended the throne, in order to stabilize his power, how could he only send a daughter in and only be a concubine. I think that Yi Tingyun's temperament will not be able to fulfill her father's wishes.

But will there really be a husband who will personally send a woman to his daughter?

Su Tang Niangniang got up and blessed herself, and said to Li Jingheng and us: "Your Majesty, sisters, I am not feeling well and am still taking medicine, so I will go back to the palace first." Everyone, your majesty, the concubines are retired. ”

Li Jingheng nodded, and our sisters also got up and blessed Sutang. Xu Tang turned around and went out wearing a flower screen, and his body was thinner than I remembered. I remembered that I hadn't been to sit at Xutang for a while, and even if I came to her Luanqi Pavilion today, she was only sitting in the Xiaohua Hall, and she couldn't eat tea and talk slowly.

I said to Ting Yun: "Ming'er, if you are free, let's go to find Xutang for tea with Lang'er." ”

"Also, it's been a long time since I've been to her place. It's good to go for a snack. Ting Yun pinched the wet handkerchief and wiped his mouth and said.

It was a banquet to celebrate the arrival of the noble son in the palace, and Lang Wu, who was to be blessed, was unwell, and the Sutang who organized the banquet was also gone. Li Jingheng ate two more cups of tea, and said that he was busy with government affairs and got up to leave. We all got up to see him off, but Song Shujue just committed himself to a blessing and followed Li Jingheng, talking non-stop like a little sparrow beside him. I silently looked at the backs of the two of them, and something was inexplicably scratched tightly on my heart, and it hurt.

Ting Yun said: "I have never seen such an unruly place, it is okay not to salute with us according to the rules, in this public, she is a boudoir woman...... So close to His Majesty. ”

I watched their backs, one tall and one short, disappear into the porch before I came back to my senses. I don't know why, but I feel very bored in my heart.

"Li Jingheng doesn't care about her, what can we do." I whispered back to her in her ear.

yes, if he doesn't speak, what can we do? Li Jingheng came back after just walking and brought me and Ting Yun's sachets. Ting Yun asked her, "Why have you been gone for so long, the banquet is almost over." ”

Buyue seemed to be running, panting and saying, "Go back to ...... Back to Jia Niangniang, I just trotted back to Funing Palace, but ...... But I took the sachet out and was pulled to help. I said again and again that I was going to Luanqi Pavilion to deliver things to Niangniang, but they said that it was very fast, but it was just to attract the new nobles into the palace. ”

I asked, "Then why did it take so long?" ”

"I didn't expect that the nobles couldn't count on two hands, at least, at least five or six hands." Buyue lowered her head and counted her hands.

Ting Yun exclaimed: "So many? ”

Buyue nodded: "Exactly, it's scary, it's a mess." ”

"I didn't expect the courtiers to move so quickly, and people sent them in large numbers." I say. The ladies in the palace almost don't like the new nobles entering the palace, not because they are afraid of anything, but these little girls will have some trivial things when they come in, and they are annoying.

Ting Yun pouted: "Trouble is going to happen in the palace again." ”

I nodded in reconsideration. I remember the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and some nobles also found a group of women to choose from Li Jingheng to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Li Jingheng picked two, and all the rest were sent to the palace as palace daughters. If you want me to say, these women are very pitiful, they were originally young ladies held in the palm of their hands at home, and suddenly one day they were sent to the palace for the emperor to choose, if they were selected, it would be fine, but they would not be able to marry in this life, and they were sent to be the daughters of the palace.

And the two young ladies selected by Li Jingheng were luckier than the unsuccessful ones, one was a beauty and the other was a good person, and they didn't even have a word, which was very sloppy.

It didn't take long for the beauty I hadn't even met before to be kicked out as a concubine because she gave Lang Yu, who had a cold at the time, medicine and food that would make people weak. I asked Lang Wan how she found out, and Lang Wu said: "The girl next to me said that the maid who decocted medicine in the kitchen was replaced that day, and I kept an eye on it, and asked someone to check the food, and I found out." ”

As soon as he entered the palace, he wanted to fight according to the rumors outside the palace.

When I first became a virtuous mother, I also wondered if there would be intrigue in the palace, but I soon found out that in this huge palace, everyone just came in and lived a half-widowed life.

I later met her at Su Tang, Xu Xu Tang spread out the affairs of the palace with her, and that good man also began to live in peace. I haven't seen that lover for a long time, and I vaguely remember that she was born beautifully but not a sign, so it's no wonder I forgot her.

"Yes, it's still Lang Wan's arms, so don't have an accident."
