Shu Wan sat in front of the dresser and held her cheeks, looking at the charming and moving face of the woman in the mirror, and smiled slightly.

"Jade Concubine Niangniang, this is the rock sugar snow pear soup that the emperor has long instructed the slave to prepare."

"Put it there, I'll eat it later." Shu Wan raised her sleeves and caught a glimpse of the pair of vermilion hairpins on the little palace maid's head from the mirror.

Zhiqiu carefully took the pear soup in the hands of the palace maid and put it on the table.

After the little palace maid stepped back, Shu Wan picked up a step and shook it on her head, and then lazily asked, "Who is that palace maid?" When did you come, and why has Hongu never seen it? ”

That little palace maid gave her a very bad feeling, and she looked, why was she so much like a person?

"Hui Niangniang, that is the palace maid who was just sent by the Internal Affairs Office a few days ago, named Shuang'er, the slave saw that her hands and feet were very nimble, and she was also clever, so she accepted her."

"Have you sent someone to check her details?"

"Yes, she is the coat of the Five Banners, from a humble background, and there is nothing suspicious."

Shu Wan shook her head, and the tassel on her head also swayed, "No, if you check it again, Bengong always feels that her identity is not simple." ”

"But what did Niangniang just see?"

Zhiqiu was shocked, if there was really anything wrong with the little palace maid, wouldn't it be that she had harmed her own mother?

Shu Wan smiled, "Don't you think she looks like a person?" ”

Although she doesn't have the ability to predict the future, but in this kind of thing, she always guesses accurately, maybe it's just a woman's sixth sense, of course, it may also be because she has been poisoned by too many palace fighting dramas, and she is just suspicious.

However, it's always good to check more and find out.

"Then the slave will do it."

"Well, remember to be quiet, mainly to check the relationship between her and Zhong Cui Palace, and keep it as it is for the past few days, so as not to startle the snake."

"Yes, the slave knows."

Although Shu Wan has the truth elixir in her hand, she gradually reduced the use of the truth elixir, first, the effect of this truth elixir is not 10% white, of course, the most important thing is that the frequent use of the elixir will make people dependent, since it can be done with the help of this small elixir, why spend so much effort?

This can't be done, the minions she wants can't be mediocre people, so if it wasn't for the urgent need now, she would never use this elixir.

It just takes a moment to exercise Xiaodouzi's ability to find out the news, after all, he is the chief eunuch of the Youyou Pavilion, if he doesn't even have this ability, then how can he do it?

-------------------------------------

In the evening, Kangxi walked out of the Qianqing Palace and walked to the Imperial Garden, and heard the bustling sound from a long distance, frowning, when did his Imperial Garden become a vegetable market?

raised his eyebrows, "Liang Jiugong, let people go to the front to see what's going on?" ”

"Yes."

Soon, someone came to pay their respects, "If you go back to the emperor, it's the Jade Concubine Niangniang, and she is taking the sixth elder brother to paint a portrait there." ”

"Portrait? And this kind of thing? She, really..."

Kangxi shook his head and smiled helplessly, no matter what, his Wan'er did things so unexpectedly.

"The emperor has arrived!"

As the little eunuch shouted, a group of people who were still laughing and noisy just now immediately quieted down, "Slaves/slaves/concubines ask the emperor for peace, and the emperor is blessed with peace." ”

"Get up."

Kangxi waved his hand, picked up Battle with his left hand, reached out to help Shu Wan up, and took her hand to the stone table with paper and ink, "I heard that you are painting people, huh?" ”

"That's right, they all say that the concubine's painting is beautiful."

Shu Wan was very proud to agree, and the minions around her nodded again and again.

Kangxi picked up a completed portrait next to him, looked at the white and chubby villain with a big belly and wearing a eunuch uniform sketched by a few strokes on the paper, almost laughed, pressed the corners of his mouth down, and said, "Who is this?" ”

Shu Wanyu pointed with a finger of her hand and pointed to a white and chubby little eunuch with a face like a dough, "Oh, it's him, the father-in-law of Baiguo who prunes flowers and branches in the imperial garden." ”

"What about this?"

Kangxi picked up another pair, this time it was a palace maid, in the painting, the little palace maid was as thin as a wicker, swaying in the wind, but fortunately there were several scales tied to her feet, so she was not blown into the sky.

"She, she is the palace maid Fei Fei in the palace of the concubine, she is very thin, it seems that a gust of wind can blow her away, but she can't eat fat at all, that physique is really enviable."

Kangxi looked at a few pictures one after another and found that these paintings were all a few brushstrokes, but they outlined the characteristics of the characters well.

"Your painting is really good, a few simple strokes can show a person's demeanor, quite childlike, but also you have a heart, how did you come up with this way of painting?"

"Did the emperor forget, you asked Mr. Liang to find a lot of books for the concubine a few days ago, and the concubine saw that there were several illustrations in it that were drawn like this, and she felt that it was really cute and cute, so she also tried to draw a few strokes, and the concubine still thought that she would draw a few pictures for the emperor when she had practiced."

When Kangxi heard this, his heart instantly ironed a lot, and he was waiting for this sentence.

In fact, comics have been around since the Han Dynasty, using exaggeration and metaphor when painting, showing some people and things in daily life, although they are different from modern comics, but they have the same root and origin, and the portraits of these characters drawn by Shu Wan are not too exaggerated, only slightly changed, so Kangxi didn't doubt it much.

"Sister Yufei is so Yaxing, my sister admires it very much, I wonder if Sister Yufei is willing to paint a picture for my sister?"

A burst of laughter like a silver bell came, and Shu Wan turned around to look, only to see Yi Concubine walking towards them with her back to the sunset, with a slender posture and light steps.

Dressed in sunrise-colored clothes, he still smelled of shavings water on his head, apparently just bathed.

When I saw Kangxi, my eyes were full of shock, and I didn't seem to know that Kangxi was also here.

Hurriedly stepped forward, Yingying's blessed body, "The concubine asked the emperor for peace, and for the sister of the jade concubine, it was the concubine who was reckless, and she didn't know that the emperor was here." ”

"It's all right, get up."

Yi Concubine smiled, "Just now, the concubine heard that Sister Yufei was painting in the imperial garden, so she also thought about asking Sister Yufei to paint for the concubine, but I didn't expect to meet the emperor." ”

Shu Wan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Kangxi.

It's just that Kangxi's expression is ah, his eyes are like two deep springs, and there is a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "You are used to being clever, but Concubine Yu's painting is really good." ”

"Yes, even the emperor praised the painting skills of the Jade Concubine, and the concubines were even more itchy when they heard it." Yi Concubine nodded and looked at Shu Wan obediently, her eyes shining with a strange light.

Shu Wan's eyebrows were crooked, and she shook her hand, "Sister Yi's request should not be resigned, but this palace has been painting for a long time, and this hand is also painful and his arm is sore, so I really don't want to paint anymore." ”

"It's my sister who has worked hard," Yi Concubine took out her handkerchief and pressed the corner of her lips, "Yes, Sister Fang Cai has been painting those minions for a long time, and she must have spent a lot of energy, but my sister shouldn't have made such an abrupt request." ”

This dignified jade concubine actually openly painted a portrait of a slave in the imperial garden, when she heard the news in Yikun Palace, Yi Concubine laughed on the spot, not at all as dignified as she is now, and even tears came out of her laughter.

This kind of lowly behavior can only be done by a lowly person like Concubine Yu.

Thinking about it this way, Yi Concubine looked down on Shu Wan even more, completely forgetting the identity and status of the two of them, who is higher and who is lower?

Hearing the ridicule in Yi Concubine's words, Shu Wan said lightly: "No wonder the emperor always said that Yi Concubine Niangniang is the most knowledgeable about current affairs in the palace, and now it seems that Sister Yi Concubine is really self-aware, knowing that she can't compare to those minions, this, this palace is also relieved." ”

Hearing this, Kangxi, who had been watching the play on the sidelines, picked the corners of his mouth.

Battle said on the side: "Eniang, what is the wisdom? ”

"Battle is self-aware."

"You!" Yi Concubine was almost provoked by Shu Wan to reveal her true nature, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Kangxi next to her, her momentum was suddenly retracted, she turned her head to look at Kangxi, and her voice was soft as if she could pinch out water, "Your Majesty, the concubine was about to visit Yinqi just now, and the emperor wants to go together?" ”

The smile on Shu Wan's face was amorous and playful, and she also persuaded on the side: "Yes, the emperor, you can go with Sister Yi Concubine, Brother Yinqi has just been born, and it is the time when you need love, if you can see the emperor, you will be very happy." ”

Kangxi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

He shook her hand, "Then I'll go, and I'll go again tonight..."

Yi Concubine hurriedly picked it up on the side, "Your Majesty, the concubine just received a letter from Ama from the south yesterday, and she was full of emotion in her heart, and she thought that she could talk to the emperor tonight." ”

Shu Wan sneered and laughed, slipped Battle out of Kangxi's arms, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, you can have a good in-depth exchange with Concubine Yi tonight, and the concubine will take Battle back first." ”

Yi Concubine is coming now, just to intercept favor, even if Kangxi looks at Guo Luoluo's face, he will definitely give Yi Concubine this face, not to mention that Kangxi still has some affection for Yi Concubine in his heart.

So what is she doing here? Do you have to compete with Yi Concubine and take Kangxi back? Or when a pole is used?

But forget it, in her opinion, it's not interesting to fight over this idea, it's better to go back and play with Battle and Folgo earlier!

So, isn't it good that she gave up and left generously?

Looking at Shu Wan's dashing departure and gradually moving away, Kangxi's black eyes were covered with a layer of coldness.

Yi Concubine saw Kangxi staring at Shu Wan's back in a daze, and said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we should go to the Queen Mother to see Yinqi." ”

Kangxi retracted his gaze, lowered his head and smiled at Yi Concubine, "Okay, then let's go." ”

In the evening, Kangxi naturally had dinner in Yikun Palace, and when he saw that there was still a soup on the table, Kangxi ordered: "Didn't Concubine Yu say that her hands hurt today, and asked the imperial dining room to make a cup of pig's trotter soup and send it to her." ”

Yi Concubine on the side listened to it and chewed the lotus root slices that had just been sent to her mouth.

On the side of the Youyou Pavilion, Shu Wan was also eating, and Zhiqiu, who was guarding outside the door, was obviously absent-minded, walking around the door uneasily, and looked outside the gate of the palace several times.

Shuang'er passed by with a basin of water, and said as if unintentionally: "Sister Zhiqiu, what's wrong with you?" Why don't you go in and serve the mother, what are you doing here? ”

Zhiqiu glanced at her and didn't want to pay attention to her, but remembered Shu Wan's instructions today, and said patiently: "It's okay, I'm looking to see if the emperor will come?" ”

"Your Majesty?"

Shuang'er's eyes widened, and her tone trembled slightly when she spoke, almost losing the basin in her hand.

"Oops, what's wrong with you? What if I am shocked? Zhiqiu glanced at Shuang'er with disgust, and shook the handkerchief at her, "Go, go, what are you doing here?" ”

Shuang'er apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Sister Zhiqiu, it's all my fault, it's me who is clumsy, please let Sister Zhiqiu spare me." ”

"Okay, okay, I didn't say I was going to punish you, why are you so cowardly?"

"Yes, yes," Shuang'er smiled on his face, put the basin on the steps on the side, leaned next to Zhiqiu and asked tentatively: "Sister Zhiqiu, didn't the emperor already order someone to send a cup of pig's trotter soup just now, is it possible that the emperor will come over in person tonight?" ”

"What do you know, the emperor has a deep affection for our mother, how could he be robbed by that concubine casually, I think the emperor will definitely come tonight!"

Before Shuang'er could speak, she heard Shu Wan's voice coming from the house, "Zhiqiu, Zhiqiu, where are you?" How did you go for so long? ”

Zhiqiu hurriedly adjusted his makeup, pointed to the basin on the ground and said, "I have to go in, you hurry up, but don't delay." ”

"Don't worry, sister, I know." Shuang'er turned around and picked up the basin to pretend to leave, and when she saw that Zhiqiu had already entered, she casually handed the basin to a little eunuch passing by, "Go, pour out this water, this is what the Jade Concubine Niangniang ordered." ”

Hearing only a low voice from the room, Shuang'er quietly walked a few steps closer and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

"Alas, Zhiqiu, why are you bother, the emperor will not come."

This is Shu Wan's voice.

Then Zhiqiu replied: "Don't worry, the emperor will definitely come, according to the slave maid, that Yi Concubine will not be able to keep the emperor." ”

"How so? After the New Year, the palace is thirty years old, and she is old, where can she compare to those fresh flowers, besides, Yi Concubine is not only young, but also has a good background, just for the great military exploits that her family has made, the emperor will also rest in Yi Concubine Palace tonight. ”

"Niangniang, don't be presumptuous, your background is no worse than that Yi Concubine, besides, isn't there another Wu Ya clan in this harem? She was born in Baoyi, and in just two years, she was promoted from a slave to a concubine, and she also gave birth to a prince, and became the lord of Zhongcui Palace. ”

Hearing this, Shuang'er couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in his hand, and his heart pounded as if he was playing a drum.

I only heard Shu Wan sigh again and said, "Don't you know, that Wu Yashi can sing and dance again, and she is still a beautiful woman less than twenty, can the emperor not be fascinated by her?" Where will there be those bells and whistles in this palace, the only thing that will be done is to paint. ”

Speaking of this, Zhiqiu also sighed softly, "It seems that in this harem, there really needs to be a talented person, or else, the slave maid will invite the palace maid who is good at dancing tomorrow, and the mother will learn a trick and a half?" ”

"No, how can this old bone of this palace withstand this kind of torture..."

After that, Shuang'er didn't listen to a word, and left with a lot of thoughts.

She knew, it turned out that Concubine Yu didn't want to be so favored on the surface, but she was really old and not favored, thinking of this, Shuang'er not only secretly despised Shu Wan in her heart, but also thought that she was only sixteen years old, and she was in her prime, so she couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart.

And remembering what they said just now, there is indeed some truth, for example, in this palace, you really have to have a few talents to get started, only in this way can the emperor remember you.

Shuang'er secretly made up her mind in her heart, since even the Wu Ya clan could sing and dance, then she could definitely do it too!
