"Your Majesty, I plan to let Zhiwei participate in this year-end painting competition, what do you think?" Kang Shilin asked.

Even if there is no such thing as Pingyang, for the sake of the competition, he plans to go to the palace in the next two days to ask Xiao Qi's opinion. Now it's two things and one thing.

Xiao Qi nodded: "You should participate." With this talent, why hide it? Let people know, I can put on a posture of maintenance, lest those things that are not long-sighted do stupid things. ”

"The old man thanked the emperor for Zhiwei." Kang Shilin saluted.

Then the two admired and discussed the painting again, and Kang Shilin said goodbye and left.

When he returned to Kangfu, he found that Zhao Ruxi not only did not leave, but Wu Huaisi was also present.

Seeing him come in, both the brother and sister stood up.

Zhao Ruxi asked, "Master, what's going on?" ”

"It's okay." Kang Shilin walked to the chair and sat down, "The emperor promised to protect you." But you have to paint a painting like the one in the auction and present it to the emperor. ”

"No problem." Zhao Ruxi said.

She has a solid foundation and is good at stimulating her own creative state. It is not difficult to paint another painting that satisfies you.

She bowed deeply to Kang Shilin: "Thank you Master for solving the problem for me." Zhiwei has caused trouble for the master. ”

Kang Shilin motioned to the maid to help her up, glared at her and said, "It's not your fault, what's the trouble?" Not to attract envy is mediocrity. Your brothers didn't get into trouble at the beginning. Your big brother......"

He pointed to Wu Huai Temple: "At the age of twenty, I still fought with people, and I almost didn't break people's legs, but I went to the palace to ask the emperor to be a peacemaker, and I always put things right." Compared to them, you have a lot of peace of mind. ”

Wu Huai Temple: "......"

Say junior sister, say junior sister, why are you pulling him? He's also a grandfather, can you save some face for him?

Wu Huaisi came over because he was worried that the master would be in trouble. He also knew that the master had nothing to do, and he would not take the initiative to enter the palace.

At this time, he didn't want to stay here anymore, so he stood up and said, "Master, if you have nothing to do, I will leave first." ”

Zhao Ruxi's matter, when Kang Shilin didn't come back, he had already heard Zhao Ruxi say. It was all a trifle to him. As long as the master enters the palace and begs the emperor, neither Concubine Jin nor the county lord of Pingyang dare to do anything more.

Although the emperor favored the concubine, he did not reach the point of being unprincipled.

"Alright, it's okay, you can go back." Kang Shilin drove people out mercilessly, "Zhiwei, you can go back too." ”

……

Let's say that Xiao Yuyue, who also entered the palace at this time, told Concubine Jin about it with added fuel and vinegar.

"Who doesn't give you some face? I really didn't expect her to dare to refuse, it was really an ambitious leopard's guts. Who does she think she is? Originally, I heard that the Jia family was hurt by her, but I thought it was an exaggeration, how could a little broken household dare to be so arrogant? I didn't expect her to even dare to offend you. It seems that the ignorant are fearless, and those who grew up in the countryside are completely ignorant of the height of the sky; There is also a reason why Suiping Bofu fell. ”

Xiao Yuyue said angrily, picked up the tea poured by the palace maid for her and drank it all.

Concubine Jin held a Persian cat and sat there quietly, her posture lazy, and there was no expression on her beautiful face.

It wasn't until Xiao Yuyue drank tea and ate snacks that she stroked the cat and patted it on the back.

The cat stretched, jumped off her, and walked unhurriedly towards the door. A maid came out of the crowd and followed the cat.

Concubine Jin took the hot cloth towel handed over by the palace maid and wiped her hands, and then said: "I'm just sorry for my talent, if she doesn't want to, forget it." It's not too early, so go back. I know about it. ”

Xiao Yuyue breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

She saluted and stepped back briskly.

Concubine Jin's personality, just like her title, is very cautious. It was impossible to hear anything bad from her mouth. The palace is full of eyes and ears, and she never leaves a handle on words.

But Xiao Yuyue, who knew her well, knew that as long as Concubine Jin didn't repeatedly tell her not to be unfavorable to Zhao Ruxi, it was to acquiesce to her to deal with Suiping Bofu and Zhao Ruxi. If something happens in the future, or Kang Shilin complains in front of the emperor, Concubine Jin will definitely protect her.

The New Year is approaching, and banquets are being held everywhere. As long as the people from Suiping Bofu go to participate, she must be good-looking Zhao Ruxi.

There is no need to do anything else, just call a few swingers to tease Zhao Ruxi and ruin her reputation, which is the best revenge for a girl who has not yet reached the end of the year.

Thinking about Zhao Ruxi's earning ability to teach painting, as well as the name of Mr. Deadwood's disciple, those prodigals from the family who were born in the family are happy to get close to her.

Suiping Bofu was originally a broken house, and there were no capable people. Zhao Ruxi's reputation was bad, Xiao Yuyue expressed her dislike for this family again in public, and Suiping Bofu was afraid that she would not even be able to receive invitations to the banquet of the lowest-level aristocratic circle. When the time comes, there will be no place to turn over.

After Xiao Yuyue left, Concubine Jin has been waiting for Xiao Yu to return to the harem.

But when the lights first came on, the emperor had already returned at this time in the past, but there was no trace of him now.

It is very taboo to inquire about the whereabouts of the emperor and try to figure out the holy will, and Concubine Jin has never done this. But at this time, she finally couldn't help it, and ordered the palace people: "Go and see, what is the emperor doing in front." ”

After thinking about it, she said again: "By the way, I would like to inquire if Mr. Deadwood has come to the emperor just now." ”

But as soon as the chamberlain walked to the door, he heard the sound of "the emperor has arrived" outside, and he quickly stopped and bowed his head.

Concubine Jin also hurriedly got up and went to the palace gate to greet the emperor.

Xiao Qi fought wits and courage with the ministers in the court, and when he returned to the harem, he didn't want to fight anymore, and he didn't bother to talk about it.

He entered the hall with Concubine Jin, sat down and said directly: "I just admired the painting with my cousin in front of me, and I stayed for a while, so I came back late." ”

Concubine Jin's heart sank.

However, she didn't show it on her face, and personally served tea to Xiao Yu, and said with a smile: "Mr. Deadwood is okay?" ”

"Not bad. It's just ......" Xiao Qi didn't drink the tea, handed the tea cup to the eunuch, looked at Concubine Jin and said, "You sent Pingyang to persuade his little apprentice to study at the Beijing Women's Academy?" ”

The old guy came in, and sure enough, he came to complain.

Concubine Jin showed a surprised look on her face, and asked rhetorically, "Concubine? Then she laughed, "It wasn't the concubine who sent her, she went by herself." ”

"Your Majesty, you also know that every year, one or two outstanding students from the Women's Academy below can be promoted to the Beijing Women's Academy. This year, Shang Duc said that Bac Ninh was close to the capital, and he wanted to use a set of questions with the Beijing Women's Academy in the annual examination, so Binh Duong sent someone to send the test papers and invigilated the exam. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhiwei actually took the first exam. ”
