But this kid took the first place in the annual exam, and Pingyang went to Suipingbo's Mansion to say a cruel word, insisting on forcing Zhiwei to go to the Beijing Women's Academy. Your Majesty, I have never asked for anything from the emperor and you in this life. Now that I'm getting old, I can only like this child. Can you let Pingyang let her go, and don't force her to come to the Beijing Women's Academy? ”

"Nonsense." Xiao Qi was really angry, and immediately promised Kang Shilin, "Don't worry, I will tell them." And never let them go to you and Zhiwei for trouble. ”

He said "they" instead of "she", which shows that he also knows in his heart that the move of the county lord of Pingyang must have been instructed by Concubine Jin.

He lives with Concubine Jin, just like an ordinary couple, and almost always goes to Concubine Jin when he is free at night, so he naturally knows the situation of Concubine Jin very well, and even knows the situation of the county lord of Pingyang very well.

To put it mildly, the county lord of Pingyang is a dog raised by Concubine Jin, telling her not to dare to go east to west, and telling her to go south and not dare to go north. Very obedient.

Zhiwei is Kang Shilin's apprentice, and everyone in the capital knows it. Without Concubine Jin's instructions, the county lord of Pingyang would never dare to go to Suiping Bofu to force Zhao Zhiwei.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "You just said that you took the first place in the Zhiwei Year exam?" She's a great student? ”

Kang Shilin nodded: "Not really." The child plans to take the children's exam in the spring after the year. That's why I'm begging you. That kid is not easy, the foundation is not solid, and he is usually so busy. Fortunately, this child is smart and very diligent, and he took the first place in the annual exam. ”

Xiao Qi nodded, and the reason why Concubine Jin and Lord Pingyang did this was also clear.

Concubine Jin and the eldest princess of Shangde have never dealt with each other, and snatching an excellent student from Shangde is also a routine operation for Concubine Jin.

The same goes for Suntech. If there is a chance to make Concubine Jin lose face, or if she can grab the students, she will definitely do the same.

Xiao Qi usually doesn't care about this kind of thing. He has so much government affairs, how can he manage this kind of jealousy between women? As long as nothing happened, he went with them.

This time it was Kang Shilin's apprentice who provoked him.

Kang Shilin opened the scroll in his hand, revealing the painting he had painted in the afternoon.

Xiao Qi's favorite thing in his life is painting, and he grew up watching Kang Shilin's paintings.

As soon as the scroll was opened, he was taken aback and asked, "Uncle Cousin, have you made a breakthrough in your painting?" ”

Kang Shilin can't break through the depression, he knows.

"I painted it this afternoon. Inspired by the art of miniature painting. Kang Shilin said.

Xiao Qi hurriedly took a closer look, and sure enough, he found some traces of Zhao Zhiwei's painting method on this painting.

He has always liked Kang Shilin's paintings the most, but since Zhao Zhiwei's painting was photographed back by Gonggong Xie, he changed his course and gave Zhao Zhiwei the banner of "First Favorite", and observed her painting day and night.

Zhao Ruxi's paintings are magnificent, and standing in front of the painting can make people feel proud. As an emperor, Xiao Qi sits on the country and has hills and valleys in his chest, so he naturally prefers this style of painting.

Because he liked it too much, he was still thinking about when to beg Kang Shilin to let him send another painting of Zhao Zhiwei into the palace, and the price was negotiable.

Seeing the painting, Xiao Qi understood better why Concubine Jin wanted to rob the students.

This kid is too good, how could Concubine Jin let her stay in Shangde's hands?

He thought about it and asked Kang Shilin: "What does Zhiwei think?" She also wants to stay in Bac Ninh instead of entering the Beijing Girls' Academy? You also stayed at the Beijing Girls' Academy, where the master was indeed stronger than the one in Bac Ninh. Zhiwei is dedicated to learning, and it is not bad to come to the capital. ”

Between his favorite concubine and his younger sister, he still favors his favorite concubine. So I want to help Concubine Jin snatch Zhao Ruxi over.

Moreover, if Zhao Ruxi entered the Beijing Women's Academy, as long as he hinted at it, Concubine Jin would ask the county lord of Pingyang to find Zhao Ruxi and let her dedicate one or two more paintings to the palace, wouldn't it be wonderful? Naturally, he will not let Zhao Zhiwei suffer, and the reward will not be less.

But if Zhao Zhiwei is allowed to continue to stay in Beining, he will be protected by Kang Shilin. With Kang Shilin's stinginess towards painting, he will not let his apprentices send paintings casually. It's hard for him to paint.

Kang Shilin doesn't look at his impatient temperament, but he is a very transparent person. He grew up watching Xiao Qi grow up again. I don't know what Xiao Qi is thinking at this time.

He said: "If you want to come to the Beijing Women's Academy, the emperor also knows. Zhiwei's family background is low, and when she enters the Beijing Women's Academy, she will inevitably be bullied, and she can't concentrate on painting and studying, and a good child will be ruined at that time. ”

"The emperor is willing to take a picture of Zhiwei's painting for 25,000 taels of silver, and he has not complained at all, which shows that he also recognizes the level of this child. To put it mildly, this kid may be able to become a master of painting that no one has ever seen before, and no one else has ever been. If there is such a master under your rule, you will have to add a few more strokes in history. Don't you think it's a pity for you to let her be ruined in the jealousy of the woman? ”

Xiao Yu's selfish thoughts just now were completely dispelled by Kang Shilin's words.

Although he likes Concubine Jin, in his heart, she is just a likable woman. Compared with the society and fame through the ages, a woman is really nothing.

Kang Shilin said: "This child is only fourteen years old this year, and I don't know what kind of height he will go in the future. As an emperor, you have to protect her and give her the soil to grow up, instead of letting her die in all kinds of strife and trapping. ”

Xiao Qi nodded heavily.

"Uncle Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely protect Zhiwei well in the future and never let people disturb her. She is free, she can go wherever she wants, and no one will stumble under her feet. ”

Emperor Chrysostom. got Xiao Qi's words, Kang Shilin completely relieved his heart.

He said very generously: "Zhiwei must be grateful for the emperor's maintenance." When she knew that she had painted a satisfactory painting, she would bring it to the emperor. ”

Xiao Qi was overjoyed, and laughed: "Thank you, uncle." ”

……

Let's say that Xiao Yuyue, who also entered the palace at this time, complained to Concubine Jin, and told Concubine Jin about the matter.

"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 breathlessly, then she took a breath, picked up the tea that the palace maid poured for her and drank it all.
