Chapter 332, two paintings
Zeng Rong spent more than a quarter of an hour on Zhu Heng for acupuncture, and then asked him how Zhen Qing's matter was over.
The person was given to Zhu Heng by the Queen Mother in front of so many concubines in the harem, if she wanted to go back, it would hurt the Queen Mother's face, but if she didn't retreat, she couldn't be driven away every time Zeng Ronglai came, right?
After a long time, she will definitely suspect them.
"Don't be afraid, I have already agreed with the Queen Mother, I will move back to Chuhua Palace, and in the future, every time you take a break, I will come to visit my grandmother, you can come over as usual."
After speaking, Zhu Heng suddenly thought of something else, looked at Zeng Rong's eyes and said: "Don't worry, I have already agreed with the Queen Mother, and I will leave her to be an aunt in charge in Chuhua Palace, but an aunt in charge, nothing else." ”
"It's just the aunt in charge, nothing else?" Zeng Rong repeated this and doubted it, whether he didn't want to or couldn't, there was an essential difference between the two.
"Yes, nothing else." Zhu Heng accentuated the tone of the last four words.
In fact, this is a compromise condition after Zhu Heng and the Queen Mother negotiated, just in front of the Queen Mother, Zhu Heng drove all the eunuchs and palace maids away, and confessed his predicament to the Queen Mother, he didn't want to get married, but he couldn't be humane at all, so he didn't want to involve these innocent girls.
Although the Queen Mother had long been suspicious of this, when she heard her grandson say this fact, she still hugged him and cried, and after crying, the Queen Mother still insisted on keeping Zhen Qing by his side for three reasons: First, the person was sent by everyone in the open, and returning not only hurt the face of the Queen Mother but also hurt Zhen Qing's face, if the little girl couldn't think of it, wouldn't it be Zhu Heng's sin to drill the tip of the horns? Second, the eyes of these women in the harem are staring at Zhu Heng, presumably wondering whether he can be humane, and retiring at this time will inevitably not let these people see the excitement. Third, it's not that Zhen Qing will have someone else, Zhu Heng is of age, it's time to officially discuss marriage.
But how to discuss this family matter, the Queen Mother is also worried, the other party's background is too high, I am afraid that things will make trouble in the future and tear up my face is not good-looking, marry someone with a low background, and I am afraid that I will wronged Zhu Heng.
Zhu Heng said bluntly that he didn't want to marry or pit others.
But it's impossible not to marry, and not marrying is tantamount to announcing to outsiders that he is not a normal man, wouldn't this royal face be a big loss?
Besides, if he doesn't marry, it is unlikely that Zhu Heng wants to live separately.
In the end, Zhu Heng put forward a compromise condition, it was okay to leave Zhen Qing behind, but there was one point, don't give him a kiss, at least he won't talk about a kiss for two years, otherwise, he will directly announce to the outside world that he can't do it.
As for why it was within two years, Zhu Heng didn't mention it, and the Queen Mother didn't ask, and they tacitly agreed with each other.
Zhu Heng saw that Zeng Rong was noncommittal after he finished speaking, and he was a little panicked, afraid that Zeng Rong didn't understand what he meant, and was about to open his mouth to explain again, when he saw Xiao Haizi's voice outside, and then Xiao Haizi said outside the door curtain that the emperor had entered Cining Palace and was talking to the Queen Mother.
Zeng Rong heard that he was busy pulling out the needle on Zhu Heng's leg, and put on his middle pants and outer pants for him, tidied up the bedding, and then called Xiao Haizi and Xiao Luzi to come in and move the person to the wheelchair.
After arranging all this, Zeng Rong sneaked away from the small door in the back garden and didn't go to meet the emperor.
Back in the Inner Court Bureau, Zeng Rong had not yet entered the house, and was cleaning the snowflakes on his head and body under the corridor, when he saw Li Ruolan hurriedly come out, saying that a little eunuch had come to Qianning Palace, sent her two long boxes, and ordered her to send them to Cining Palace immediately.
When Zeng Rong heard this, he followed Li Ruolan into the room, and there were two cardboard boxes with jujube red entwined lotus patterns on her desktop, which were filled with calligraphy and paintings.
Zeng Rong opened it and took a look, sure enough, there was a scroll lying in each box, out of curiosity, Zeng Rong opened one of them, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it was actually the bamboo bear picture that Zeng Rong had drawn himself, but it was reframed, and the inscription on it had not changed, it was still Zeng Rong's words, Qingqing.
This is the word Xu Jing took for her in the previous life, Qingqingzi Yin, you my heart, in addition, the green character is also implied in Xu Jing's name, his own word is Liqing, in this life, Zeng Rong still uses these two words.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that the emperor would frame this painting and give it to Zhu Heng as a birthday gift, but Zeng Rongwei really didn't understand this operation.
Soon, Zeng Rong rolled up this painting and opened another one, this is a landscape map of Gu Kaizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and this Gu Kaizhi is also a literati that Zhu Heng prefers, this Gu Kaizhi is versatile, poetic, fine painting, is one of the four masters of the Six Dynasties, and is also one of the originators of ink painting, the people of the time said that he has three uniques, "talent", "painting", "obsession", but his paintings are old, and there are very few surviving works, most of them are copies of the Tang and Song dynasties.
However, the "Lushan Map" in Zeng Rong's hand should be one of the few surviving genuine works of Gu Kaizhi, because there are illustrations and inscriptions of Li Qingzhao and her husband Zhao Mingcheng on it, I am afraid that this is also one of the reasons why the emperor chose this painting to give Zhu Heng as a gift, right?
For fear of colliding with the emperor, Zeng Rong did not leave immediately after packing up the two paintings, but stayed to help copy the morning's copywriting, but she had just polished the ink, and a eunuch came to pass the word, ordering her to take the two paintings to Cining Palace immediately.
Entered the gate of Cining Palace again, this time, Zeng Rong was taken directly by Chang Dezi into Zhu Heng's house in the backyard, there were no outsiders in the house, only the emperor and Zhu Heng.
When Zeng Rong entered, both of them were in Zhu Heng's study, Zhu Heng was sitting in a wheelchair, and the emperor was standing in front of the bookshelf, as if admiring Zhu Heng's collection of books.
"The emperor, the lower officials...
"Oh, here, take the gift I gave to Zhu Heng and take a look." Zhu Xu interrupted Zeng Rong's salute.
Zeng Rong walked in front of Zhu Heng with two boxes, first opened Gu Kaizhi's painting for Zhu Heng, and when he saw the inscription of this painting and the inscription on it, Zhu Heng's eyes lit up, but he quickly pulled the corners of his mouth, as if he smiled sarcastically.
"What, don't like it?" Zhu Xu asked.
"I like it, thank you father." Zhu Heng replied dryly.
"If you don't like it, forget it, give it back to me, and then look at the next one." Zhu Xu said.
Zeng Rong had no choice but to put this painting away and open the next one.
Zhu Heng hadn't really seen Zeng Rong's calligraphy and painting, and naturally he didn't know that the word "Qingqing" on it was her character, and he himself had never seen an animal like a bamboo bear, let alone Zeng Rong could paint, so he didn't recognize this as Zeng Rong's calligraphy and painting.
Speaking from the heart, Zeng Rong's calligraphy and painting are really not enough in the eyes of people like Zhu Heng who have seen the world, let alone the level of collection, so Zhu Heng is also very confused when he looks at this painting.
