Chapter 36: The Man in the Painting (5)
Yun Xiao listened quietly, and always felt that when Liu An said this, he not only had disdain in his heart, but also deep resentment and unwillingness.
Thinking about these years, the Queen Mother failed to subdue Liu An, and Liu An was only superficially passable, and now, Liu An has become the chief manager of Xia Rui's side, that is, he is openly standing on the opposite side of the Queen Mother, and the relationship between him and the Queen Mother will only become more stiff.
In this way, Liu An wants to live like a fish in water in the palace, and the power of the Internal Affairs Office is indispensable, but the person who holds the power of the Internal Affairs Office is the Queen Mother, so he naturally dislikes the Queen Mother even more.
Oh, I really didn't expect that this place where the minions mixed would also become another battlefield in the struggle for power in the palace.
However, in Yun Xiao's opinion, it is so good.
She said to Liu An: "The father-in-law's thoughts, the palace and the emperor both understand that the judgment is not other people's gossip, and it can be separated at will!" In this world, there are many jealous things, and my father-in-law has acted without a conscience in his life, and the palace and the emperor have seen it, so my father-in-law really doesn't have to take these things to heart! ”
When Liu An heard this, he smiled and said: "Thank you for your trust, and you will definitely live up to the trust of your mother and the emperor!" ”
"Father-in-law doesn't have to be polite."
After sending Liu An away, Yun Xiao felt that she was a little physically exhausted, so she didn't immediately go to look at the things sent by Liu An, but ordered someone to carry the box to her dormitory.
Qianyue helped Yun Xiao to lie down on the bed, for the sake of the dragon fetus, Yun Xiao specially sent Lin Siyuan to come over to diagnose the pulse, and after taking a dose of fetal medicine, Yun Xiao fell asleep.
However, Yun Xiao did not sleep soundly. Probably, I have always remembered in my heart that Liu An sent a large box of things, or perhaps, because he has been in the palace for so long, he has not been able to complete his father's entrustment for a while, and he feels ashamed, in short, Yun Xiao has been half asleep and half awake.
In this way, at dusk, when Yun Xiao got up, his body was covered with sweat, so he had to order the maid to fetch water to bathe.
After bathing and having dinner, Yun Xiao was alone in the dormitory, looking through the things that Liu An had sent during the day.
The things in the box are roughly the same as what Liu An said, there are indeed some artifacts from foreign countries in it, Yun Xiao recognized at a glance, those foreign artifacts are all from Loulan, because their appearance is exactly the same as what Yun Xiao has seen in the book.
Yun Xiao secretly thought, could these things be brought by Princess Loulan from Loulan to the Great Xia Kingdom?
However, in addition to these Loulan artifacts, there are also artifacts belonging to the imperial palace of the Great Xia Kingdom, such as jade pendants, vases, and calligraphy and paintings.
If you simply think that these things were left by Princess Loulan back then, then how to explain these things that belong to the Great Xia Kingdom?
Moreover, this Weiyang Palace, before Princess Loulan, may not have lived in other people, Liu An has turned these things out, and they are all mixed together, but it is difficult to distinguish.
For a moment, Yun Xiao only felt that her thoughts were extremely chaotic, but she was unwilling to give up like this, so she looked through the contents of the box again.
However, there was still nothing to be gained, however, a painting in the box piqued Yun Xiao's interest.
She closed the box, took the painting, sat under the lamp, and looked closely, and it depicted a young woman in palace dress, very beautiful, graceful, swinging under the almond blossom tree.
Just as Yun Xiao was guessing the identity of the woman in the painting, a familiar voice suddenly came: "Xiao'er, how can you have a portrait of your mother?" ”
When Yun Xiao heard this, he was startled, it turned out that he was so fascinated that he didn't even notice Xia Rui coming in.
Yun Xiao stood up, smiled softly at Xia Rui, lowered his eyelashes and said, "Your Majesty, are you here......"
Xia Rui likes to see Yun Xiao smile the most, especially her slightly lowered eyebrows and slightly shy charm, he said:
"I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't think about it, tonight, I'll stay here with you!"
When Yun Xiao heard this, his cheeks turned crimson: "You didn't say you were coming over in advance, the concubine had already had dinner, and she didn't prepare dinner for you!" ”
Xia Rui held Yun Xiao's hand and said softly:
"I've already had dinner, you're still pregnant with a baby, don't always worry about me, I can take care of myself, let's sit down and talk!"
Yun Xiao pursed her lips and smiled, and sat down with him.
Xia Rui continued: "Xiao'er, how are you feeling these days? Is morning sickness getting better? ”
Yun Xiao replied: "The concubine rests in bed every day, and Imperial Doctor Lin diagnoses and prescribes medicine, which is already much better!" ”
"If you feel anything abnormal, just order someone to invite the national teacher, he is your master, and he must know your physical condition better than Imperial Doctor Lin! You can make your own decisions about this matter, and you don't need to report it to me in advance. ”
Yun Xiao is indeed uneasy, and Dugu Yexue can indeed make Yun Xiao feel at ease, but now it is different from being on the mountain, Yun Xiao said:
"The concubines know that the emperor is sympathetic to the concubines, but after all, the master is a foreign minister, and the concubines are in the inner palace, if they always invite the master into the inner palace without permission, and if it is spread out, outsiders will always gossip, and the concubines can't expect them to be as sensible and trust the concubines as the emperor!"
When Xia Rui heard this, his face was a little bad.
He knew that the "outsiders" in Yun Xiao's words referred to the Queen Mother.
He said: "Xiao'er, tell me honestly, are you also mixed in with the Queen Mother's eyeliner in the middle palace?" Who is he, you tell me, I'll deal with it! ”
When Yun Xiao heard this, his eyebrows jumped.
"Concubine here, how can there be the Queen Mother's eyeliner? Concubines have always been very careful! ”
"Then who are you afraid of gossiping about you?" Xia Rui stretched his voice and said, "Now in this harem, except for the Queen Mother, who else dares to embarrass you?!" ”
"Okay, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much about the concubine, if there is really something wrong with the dragon fetus, the concubines will go and invite the master over, the big thing is not as important as the dragon fetus!" Yun Xiao saw that Xia Rui was going to say more, so he hurriedly changed the topic, "By the way, you just said that the concubine's painting is about Concubine Rou?" ”
"yes, that's the painting you were holding......"
Yun Xiao took the painting just now, Xia Rui reached out and took it, and couldn't help frowning:
"But...... I look at it carefully now, and I feel that the woman in this painting is not actually the mother's concubine, she just looks a little similar to the mother's concubine, and I remember very clearly that the mother's eyebrows do not have this beautiful mole. ”
Not Concubine Rou?!
Yun Xiao looked at the painting again, and frowned as well.
At this moment, Xia Rui asked, "Xiao'er, where did you find this painting?" ”
