Chapter 159
"Now it is rumored in the palace that I favor Yi Guiren and love the concubine, what do you think of this matter?"
Kangxi leaned on the couch and held a chess book, while Shu Wan sat at the small table and lowered her head to paint, listening to him say this, she smiled, "Yi's cuteness, it is natural for the emperor to favor her, besides, when have the rumors in this palace stopped, the emperor doesn't have to think so much." ”
He glanced at her, and from where he was, all he could see was her white, slender neck and the pair of fluttering peach tassel earrings hanging from her earlobes.
"It's just enough to say that I favor the Yi family, and even say that I snubbed the Jade Concubine, and I don't know who spread the rumors, isn't that wronged me? If it reaches the ears of Concubine Yu, she will have to lose her temper with me. ”
She was painting an orchid picture, and when she heard this, she paused, "The Jade Concubine is older than the emperor, and now she is already old and decrepit, it is normal for the emperor to dislike it, plus the beauty in the palace is like a flower, and it is only a matter of time before the Jade Concubine is disgusted by you, even if she knows, she will not lose her temper." ”
"Although the Jade Concubine is older than me, I think that the women who are older than me are quite charming, especially the Jade Concubine, who has a natural style with a smile and a smile, if you can get into my eyes that day, you will know."
He looked at her back, thinking to himself, the table was so low that he couldn't straighten his back, and he would definitely complain again later.
"There are many palace concubines in the palace who are bigger than the emperor, Concubine Hui, Dong, Zhang, if the emperor really likes it, you can also choose a few older and charming women to enter the palace, and the emperor will be satisfied."
"You..."He turned over the page of chess games he was reading hatefully, as if the chess games had an enmity with him, "Concubine Yu is stingy, how dare I accept so many newcomers into the palace." ”
"Concubine Yu is just a concubine, how can she influence the emperor's decision, as long as the emperor wants, Concubine Yu is naturally helpless."
She drew the last stroke, satisfied with the sigh of relief, the orchid leaves on the painting are dark green and glutinous, the flowers are plain heart lotus petals, round and thick, the flower color is white, without a trace of variegation, the tongue is clean, the nose is golden, the whole flower color is coordinated, exquisitely clear, like a beautiful jade nature, although painted on the paper, it seems to be able to smell the fragrance.
He put down the game in his hand, "Finished drawing?" Come, show it to me. ”
Taking away the paperweight, Shu Wan blew the ink that had not dried, "Here, please see the emperor, if there is anything bad about the painting, please ask the emperor... Treat it as if you didn't see it. ”
He glared at her, "Just count your delicate temperament, if there is anything bad, I will naturally point it out to you." ”
Holding the orchid picture, he looked at it carefully and looked at it, there is really nothing to find fault with in terms of painting skills and colors, if you have to pick out one point, that is, the painting is too much like the real thing, it is really too much, but it makes people have no room for imagination.
When others paint orchids, they all use flowers as metaphors for people, either as a metaphor for themselves, or as a metaphor for others, she paints orchids, and it is just an orchid.
"I have a picture of Xu Wei's "Orchid" there, and I will order someone to bring it to you tomorrow."
Naturally, he didn't say anything bad, she snorted softly, "The concubine must study hard, but the concubine estimates that she shouldn't be able to learn, the emperor doesn't have much hope for the concubine, the concubine is empty-headed, mediocre and lazy by nature, no matter what, it can't compare to everyone like that." ”
"I know that your paintings are good enough, you don't have to learn from him, and appreciating paintings should be a daily pastime to relieve boredom."
Carefully putting the painting aside, he took her in his arms and pressed her on the couch, and the string of peach tassels on her ears were also entangled, "I still have questions to finish just now." ”
While putting his big hand on his small hand, he found a comfortable position for himself, "Please ask the emperor to continue." ”
"Why do you say that Concubine Yu is always duplicitous, she is obviously terrible in her heart, and she always makes a generous appearance, it is really awkward to look at it."
"The emperor is not a jade concubine, how do you know that she tastes terrible in her heart, maybe, she is happy."
She smiled and tried to touch his eyebrows, but he subconsciously avoided it, but froze, but those dark black eyes kept staring at her.
"If she was really happy, she wouldn't have sent me out to read the chess game today, and she would have hid aside to paint, if she was really happy, she wouldn't have said every word that she wanted to admit newcomers to me, obviously she just couldn't eat it, but she wanted to make this picture for me to see."
She paused for a moment, and then kicked his calf hard, "The emperor's golden mouth and jade words, the concubine has no way to refute, if the emperor really wants to know, then he can only open the heart of the jade concubine." ”
Suddenly broke free from his arms and knelt in front of the couch, "The concubine is unwell today, please forgive the emperor." ”
He pulled her up and pinched the small peach on her earrings, fluffy, very special feel, "How many days have you been unwell, huh?" Could it be that the gang of people in the Tai Hospital all eat white rice? ”
"That's the emperor's hospital, and the envoys, judges, and imperial doctors in it are all personally selected by the emperor, and the concubines don't know if the people in it eat rice, anyway, the concubines only know that they can't cure the concubines' diseases."
"Nonsense, if you continue to pretend to be sick, I..." he paused deliberately and raised his eyebrows, "I will order that your mother will not be allowed to enter the palace next month, and if you continue to be sick, it will continue until next month, next month." ”
"No way!"
"I said okay, if you call yourself sick and avoid me in the future, I have a thousand ways to make you compromise, I allow you to lose your temper with me, if you feel uncomfortable in the future, I will also accompany you, just one point, don't avoid me anymore, you and I are husband and wife, it should be the most intimate relationship in the world, do you have anything to say, can't you let me know? There are some things that you say not to me, to whom will you say them? ”
He cupped her face with both hands and forced her to look up at him, "You say, do I still have the dignity of being an emperor in front of you, I said so, you should be relieved, don't be angry." ”
Shu Wan's face turned crimson, "Why did the emperor suddenly say such affectionate words, didn't the concubines say enough, didn't they understand enough, and didn't be direct enough?" Does the emperor have to be happy if the concubine yells like a shrew or washes her face with tears all day long? The concubines didn't know that the emperor still had this habit. ”
He hung his head and bit her earlobe, "I've never told anyone about my fetishes, but I might be able to tell you one tonight." ”
