Chapter 39: The King of Zhennan
"Raise your head and let me see." This should be the voice of the princess.
Chen Siye raised his head, and saw the princess approaching and looked at him curiously, "You made this painting?" "The princess's eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, although there are more fine lines at the corners of her eyes, she is also a rare beauty, but she is not similar to Le Xuan. At this time, the princess was pointing to the painting he had painted for Le Xuan in the hand of the maid on the side, and Chen Siye replied, "I made it." ”
The princess's face was full of surprise, "You have such painting skills at a young age, who did you learn from?" ”
"The family teacher lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, has no name and no number, and now he is gone."
The prince also sighed on the side: "It's a pity. So now you are the only one in the world who can do this stunt? ”
"Just as the prince said." Chen Siye's heart was secretly refreshed, and he invisibly pretended to be a wave. Looking at the thin figure of King Zhennan and the appearance of a scholar's temperament, it really doesn't look like he is in charge of military power.
The princess sat back in her chair and looked closely, her eyes unconsciously reddened, "Looking at this painting, it is as if my son is standing in front of me." "It's a life-size painting, and it really looks realistic.
The prince comforted: "Madam, don't be sentimental, you should be happy to see Xuan'er." ”
"Although this painting is ingenious, it is not really Xuan'er. Every time Xuan'er sent a letter home, she would say in the letter that she was entangled in everything, and if she didn't come home, she didn't know what she was busy with as a county lord. ”
The prince smiled and said: "Madam, you are wrong to blame Xuan'er, since Xuan'er has established a mansion, she can't come back at will, the ancestral system is like this." ”
"Rules are dead, people are alive, didn't Xuan'er come back two years ago?" The princess seemed to be very dissatisfied.
The prince smiled and said, "Madame, don't be unreasonable. ”
The princess snorted, ignored him anymore, and pulled Xiao Tao to ask something in a low voice. Sure enough, no matter what age a woman is, it's instinct to be unreasonable.
The prince shook his head and said to Chen Siye and Qiu Ju: "I'm smiling." ”
The two of them were flattered and didn't dare to say anything, Chen Siye said in his heart that the prince was really kind, there was no prince at all, and he was not at all like the king of Zhennan who was killed and killed by the town guard.
The prince gave him a seat, and ordered the maid to serve tea, the prince was so polite, and Qiu Ju and the others were a little at a loss. The prince took a sip of tea and asked, "Chen Gongzi has such a stunt, what position does he hold in Xuan'er Mansion now?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Siye was suddenly a little embarrassed, "Uh... I'm here... Mingyue Tower... Do handymen. ”
The prince frowned, and said slightly angrily: "How can Xuan'er treat you so badly, like Chen Gongzi's high talent, you should be treated as a guest..."
Chen Siye was secretly proud, he was still a hero with the prince's eyes, but he still said modestly: "The prince tortures me, this is a small way." ”
The prince shook his head and said, "No." Chen Gongzi rest assured that this king will give Xuan'er a letter of reprimand to her, and ask her to arrange a suitable position for you. ”
Chen Siye had a chic life in Mingyue Tower, accompanied by all the beauties, where was he willing to leave, he hurriedly explained, told everything about the origin of his compilation, and said that he was very used to the life of Mingyue Tower. After hearing this, the prince sighed: "I see, it's really hard to beat a hero for a penny, but Xuan'er is too unruly, so she should treat Chen Gongzi politely, wouldn't it be condescending to be just a handyman." ”
Chen Siye said in his heart why the prince couldn't escape this topic, and it was too embarrassing to keep saying this. So he smiled and changed the topic: "Lord Wang, the Qiu Ju girl next to me is strong in martial arts, and this time thanks to her protection of me and Xiao Tao, I was able to arrive at Yongning Mansion safely." ”
The prince frowned and said, "But you met a small man?" The martial kingdom disturbed my big season, and now my big season is no longer the scene where I used to be closed at night. As he spoke, he glanced at Qiu Ju carefully, feeling a little familiar, and said suspiciously: "Qiu Ju? Are you the little girl who followed Xuan'er two years ago? It's already so big. ”
It turns out that the prince has seen Qiu Ju. Chen Siye only knew that he fought with Wuguo two years ago and repelled Wuguo, but he didn't know how he retreated, he was a little curious.
Qiu Ju stood up again and saluted, "It's the slave." ”
Chen Siye was about to hear the prince talk about what happened two years ago, but the prince didn't say it, just chatting with them, which made him helpless.
At noon, the prince left the three of them to eat in the palace, although the meal was sumptuous, but the three of them did not eat much. These days, Chen Siye has been raising his mouth.
In the afternoon, he made a painting for the prince and the princess, which was to be brought back to Le Xuan, and the painting was extremely fine, and it took an afternoon. After the painting was completed, she was praised by the princess and princess, and the princess was happy to see the hunt, and wanted him to make another one for her, but it was too late, so she could only talk about it the next day.
In the evening, everyone returned to the inn, and the three of them sat together and chatted, Chen Siye asked, "Has the prince always been so approachable?" ”
Xiao Tao said: "The prince has always been like this, and he treats his subordinates very well, I have never seen the prince angry." ”
"But it's terrible for the prince to be angry," Qiu Ju looked scared, "Don't look at the prince's weak appearance, in fact, he is a rare master in the world, two years ago, he put on his armor and went to the battlefield in person, and he killed a river of blood..."
"And then?" Xiao Tao and Chen Siye looked at Qiu Ju expectantly and waited for her to continue.
"And then we won." Qiu Ju smiled lightly.
Chen Siye and Xiao Tao looked disappointed, that's all? It's too perfunctory. But the prince is actually a master, which is really unexpected.
"Little Momo, do you know what happened at that time?" Since recognizing a cheap father-in-law, Chen Siye has consciously regarded Xiao Tao as his daughter-in-law in his heart, and he is no longer called a sister.
"At that time, Miss asked me to stay in Jiangxia and didn't let me follow her, and I don't know." Xiao Tao frowned and said, "However, the original title of the prince was not the king of Zhennan, and he was only named the king of Zhennan after he was ordered to win the battle two years ago." ”
Xiao Tao has followed Le Xuan since she was a child, and when Le Xuan was edicted to enter the palace at the age of fourteen, she also went with her, and since then she has rarely returned to Zhennan Wangfu, so she doesn't know much, and it's just some things in her impression.
"Qiu Ju, just tell me about it~" Although Xiao Tao didn't coquettish Chen Siye, he also heard his heart tremble.
Qiu Ju smiled: "No, no, no, the county lord didn't let me say it, I want to know if you ask the county lord to go." ”
Qiu Ju didn't say anything, and they naturally had no choice but to talk about something else.
......
Early the next morning, I went to Zhennan Wangfu, and I had to paint the princess. Painting the princess naturally pleases the princess, but the princess is already beautiful, and she only needs to omit some wrinkles.
Chen Siye was painting and telling jokes, which made the princess and several maids on the side laugh. However, Qiu Ju and Xiao Tao had heard him talk about it on the road, and they had immunity, so they just laughed a few times.
After the painting, the princess looked at the painting, expressed her satisfaction, and praised him again, and rewarded him with a night pearl.
The prince was late, and just as several people were about to leave, the prince rewarded a few more people with some silver as a coil.
After bidding farewell to the prince and princess, the three of them planned to rest again in the afternoon and set off again the next morning.
On the way back to the inn after leaving the palace, Qiu Ju sighed: "Today is the nineteenth day of the lunar month, if the road goes well, you should be able to return to Jiangxia on the thirtieth day of the lunar month." ”
Chen Siye woke up suddenly, and suddenly remembered that tomorrow was Xiaochan's birthday, and he chatted with Xiaochan about this before leaving, but he forgot to clean it when he left. But now it's too late, and I can only apologize to Xiaochan when I go back to Jiangxia.
So he proposed: "By the way, tomorrow is Xiaochan's birthday, and we can't accompany her on her birthday, so let's go buy a gift and give it to her." The second daughter remembered Xiaochan's birthday, and couldn't help but wonder: "When did you learn about Xiaochan's birthday?" ”
Chen Siye said proudly: "I not only know Xiaochan's birthday, but also your birthday." In fact, he knew Qiu Ju's, but Xiao Tao's didn't, and secretly said in his heart that he wanted to ask his father-in-law.
The second daughter blushed a little when she heard this, and she didn't confirm whether what he said was true or not. But the two girls are very happy to go shopping, shopping, no matter what time it is, it is a woman's nature.
Because Yongning Mansion is close to Wuguo, there are many merchants from Wuguo who have set up shop here, and there are many specialties of Wuguo. Although the two countries are currently hostile, it is still possible to do business. Specialties are a must-buy, and when I left, I promised Cuiyun that all the women of Mingyue Building would have a copy. Although Xiao Tao and Qiu Ju were with them, the two daughters strongly demanded that Chen Siye not favor one over the other, and also buy one for each of them.
