Mr. Shi analyzed the current situation, and I realized who my father was going to fight against.

When I was five years old, General Xin led the Blue Spirit Envoy to suppress it, and after so many years of fighting, the situation has not eased. Finally, in this year, when I was fourteen years old, there was good news from the front, the rain was defeated, and the surrender letter had been submitted, and now only the wind was still resisting.

Although the situation has eased, my father still can't come back, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I have to forget him if I have no conscience.

Xin Kejia asked me from time to time: "Does Aru remember Daddy?" ”

I shook my head and nodded.

"What about my mother?"

I nodded!

"You're so young, you should have forgotten what they looked like!" Xin Kejia sighed.

"No, I remember!" This is the second time Xin Keru has picked up the painting, and the brush is no longer very rusty in my hands, and it has been practiced by being punished for copying poems.

I painted two paintings, one is my father and the other is my mother, I still remember what they looked like, but I also remembered them for five years, and I remembered things and people as soon as I was born.

Xin Kejia was surprised: "Aru, when did you learn to draw?" Who taught you? ”

"I'm self-taught!"

"No way, I've never seen you draw. Who taught you? Xin Kejia asked this again, and I couldn't answer his question.

Now I can learn to be smart: "Your Highness taught! ”

Doesn't Lan Yunwei always like to say this sentence "I taught"? If he likes it, I'll say it's him in the future.

"Your Highness the Princess?"

"Huh? Oh! However, it seems that it is more reasonable to say that Yun Yi is indeed proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"The princess is very busy on weekdays, how did she find her free time to teach you?"

Also, Yun Yi is the least idle person among us, and she spends her whole day practicing those, unlike Lan Yunwei, who is the pride of the day, just look at anything. Moreover, he doesn't need to take a break from practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he just needs to have a brain, and he doesn't need any talent.

"I'm talking about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

He ...... Teach you? Xin Kejia smiled, "I don't think he's proficient in this thing!" ”

"You have the ability to say it in front of him!"

"Do you think I'm as open-mouthed as you are? Aru, you're fourteen years old, but you're not a child! ”

I feel that he has been talking to me since I was a child, and he has been saying it since I was eight years old, and it has not changed until now.

Xin Ke Jiake is much simpler than Yun Wei, he doesn't know girls, I sometimes say that I have a stomachache, he always says that he has a bad stomach, and he always makes me laugh.

However, he is quite masculine to girls, such as the maids in the family palace are not afraid of him, and sometimes rush to serve him, but ah he still doesn't like to be close to others, he is a very conservative man.

Xin Kejia recently did something that made me very angry, he arranged for me to go to the painting hall to practice two of the three breaths of the five days without my knowledge of it.

He said: "Aru, although you have no talent in other aspects, I have found that you are still very good at Danqing painting. If you think about it, people have to have a skill, right? Otherwise, if you want to be the crown princess in the future, how will you serve the public? So, you have to go to the painting hall! ”

"I'm not going!" I subconsciously just didn't want to go, not only did I not want to go, but I didn't like to hold a paintbrush, and I thought I might have a grudge against that thing in my last life. Otherwise, if I like it, why would I only pick it up twice in fifteen years? Despite my talent, I just didn't want to pick it up.

"Aru, be obedient, you must listen to me this time!"

"I don't have to be that princess, if I have to learn that thing to be a princess, then I shouldn't be a princess, besides, didn't someone diagnose me missing a spirit? How can someone like me be a princess? ”

"That quack doctor has already been disposed of!" Xin Kejia's tone characterizes the meaning of "disposition" as "death".

My heart trembled, I didn't seek revenge on him, he had already died first, my heart was a little confused, I didn't understand what he was for.

"Aru, don't be so childish anymore, you should learn more from the princess, when you can be more like a princess, I will be more at ease!"

"Brother, do you like Yunyi?" I spoke to his mind.

"Don't talk nonsense, the princess's daughter, the proud daughter of the sky, don't blaspheme!" He was so nervous that he wouldn't let me say, "Children, do you know what you like?" Don't say anything like that again. ”

I pursed my lips and smiled, he was more embarrassed than me: "Your face is red, Xin Kejia, you are blushing!" ”

"You will go to the painting hall tomorrow, there is no need to discuss!" He blushed and threw me a cold sentence.

"Ahh I don't, brother, Xin Kejia! When I reacted and called him, he was gone, and the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I became, and I don't know why, maybe I was hurt by that thing!

I was so reluctant to go to a place, but I still have no regrets in this life when I look back at it.

The painting hall is full of dignified women, and my normal state is too incompatible, everyone is a fairy with fluttering clothes, just me with long hair pulled up a high bundle, and the clothes pay attention to simplicity and lightness. He is a little boy among the fairies, and he has the taste of chickens and cranes.

So on the first day I went, I was laughed at by the bad fairy among the fairies: "Where did this little boy come from?" ”

There are also polite words: "According to the rules, our painting hall only recruits women!" ”

I reported my name, and they looked at each other in twos and threes, and muttered.

There are people who flatter me, you may know that I am a childhood sweetheart with His Royal Highness the Prince, and the two have no guesses, or the princess who is determined, and I think I have a promising future, so there is no harm in pleasing me!

There are also those who sneer at me, and lo and behold, some of them took the lead in saying: "You are Xin Keru?" It's better to smell than to see, I thought there would be a lot of national colors and fragrances? I want to ask, has Miss Xin always been calling her a brother and sister! ”

I didn't just have a pill head, she said that I was like a man, this kind of woman is too... Don't mess with other adjectives, just three words without brains.

"This... What do you call it? Should I call my eldest sister or my aunt? ”

She looked at me angrily: "I am Lu Xiangxiang, the eldest daughter of Lu Zuocheng, the spiritual capital of the Eastern Dynasty, the daughter of a little general, and I am neither big nor small. ”

Someone whispered something in her ear, and she continued to say proudly: "Oh, I forgot, you don't have a mother, and your father hasn't been around for a long time." said that he lived in the palace, and the affairs of the harem were complicated in the queen's day, and he couldn't take care of you if he wanted to! That's why he was born so uneducated! ”

"Upbringing?" I got angry, I also sensed that there was a tiger in my eyes, I didn't say much, I just started and punched her in the mouth, "... What is it? If I hadn't, a man like you wouldn't be worthy to say these two words! ”

These are all soft and weak fairies, they don't dare to step forward, for fear of touching their thin bodies, Lu Xiangxiang was shocked, and covered her mouth: "You, you actually... How dare you hit me? I... I haven't been beaten since I was a child..."

"Today is also the first time in my life, remember it, don't forget, everyone present is a witness!" I raised my eyebrows and smiled and clapped my hands.

"Xin Keru!" She shouted in anger and annoyance.

"It seems that I'm still too light, let His Highness deepen it a little more, and just let you witness it, but I don't know who the next trial object will be!" I laughed and said aloud, looking at my finger casually.

I'm proud, the master of the painting hall, who is also my painting gentleman, is on the stage, and this matter is big and small.

"What's going on?"

"Mr. Yu, she is a newcomer who doesn't understand the rules, and as soon as she comes, she speaks disrespectfully, and she even beats people, everyone has seen it!" She raised her head and showed her husband her mouth, I didn't do it heavy, it was really not heavy, and her mouth was a little red.

"Everyone... Have you seen them all? I repeated her words with great vigour, and then fell silent.

"Are you talking?"

"Miss Lu, your rouge is spent!" Now is the best time for those who want to flatter me, and I have made it very clear that whether I am a princess or not, I can still use it now, not in vain.

"Xiangxiang, Miss Xin is just a little lighter, it's not as uneducated as you say, but yourself..."

“…”

There have been too many people who have been double-faced in recent years, and I am really happy to hear these words.

But this Mr. Yu is not a person who can be fooled in a few words, she walked up to me, raised the hand I had just swung my fist, looked at it again, I thought she was comparing the marks left by my beating, and she was a little nervous.

Unexpectedly, she only said lightly: "These hands are not light enough, not very suitable for painting!" ”

If it weren't for the fear that Lu Xiangxiang would see the joke, I really wanted to turn around and leave, and I didn't want to be suitable, I was originally threatened.

"But it's not impossible!" She let go of her hand and stood in front of the stage, "Sit down, calm down, and avoid impetuousness when painting." I don't care about your personal grievances, that's your own business, I only care about your hands and your pen! ”

I was placed in the front row, and next to me was Lu Xiangxiang, and we both turned our heads to the side, so that we could not be upset.

My first class was copying, and the painting I copied was a picture of lotus flowers and lotus leaves on the lake in summer, the hue, the infinite blue of the lotus leaves, and the different red of the lotus flowers reflecting the sun, if I put this painting in a book, I would probably be able to appreciate the beauty of this poem.

In the painting, the flowers and leaves are from near to far, with a distinct sense of layering, and the nearest is the lotus leaf, and the big disc is also shining with a few crystal clear dew drops, as if you move it lightly, it will immediately roll down.

The flowers and leaves in the distance are blurry but clear, it has outlines, but there is no constraint of outlines, giving people a feeling that they can be viewed from a distance but cannot be blasphemed.

I copied this painting as if I had settled on the side of the flowers and leaves on this lake, and I sketched it slowly, immersed in self-absorption. Lu Xiangxiang on the side had already copied it, and many people had also copied it, until the end of class, I was still writing. When others talk to me, I don't pay attention, I just move my hand, and my hand touches my heart.

Mr. Yu told them to leave me alone, and she told me to wait until I finished painting and then close the door of the painting hall, and I copied the painting for a day, but I was still not satisfied.

The twilight was heavy, and the palace maid in the painting hall asked me if I wanted to light the lamp, so I stopped writing.

"Who is this painting from?" I asked the palace maid.

"Naturally, it's Mr. Jade!"

"It's not her!" I decided no, and I don't know why I decided, "Can this painting be given to me?" ”

"I'm going to ask Mr. Yu for this!"

She led me to Mr. Yu, this painting hall is also big enough, I was confused by going around, and when I got to Mr. Yu's room, she asked me to wait for a while, and she went to report to see if Mr. Yu received other people.

I stood there, thinking.

I think there must be a lotus leaf pond in this painting hall, and this scene is a true portrayal of there, and the leaves, flowers and even the dew drops are frozen by a pair of eyes.

"Young Master Mu Bai is here, Miss Xin wait a minute!"

"Good!" I inadvertently asked more, "Who is Young Master Mu Bai?" ”

"Young Master Mubai's surname is Zhou, and he is the son of the owner of Zhou Yuan of Yudu Orange Painting Garden, and our Mr. Yu and Master Zhou Yuan are from the same family."

"Zhou Mubai?"

"Well, haven't you heard of Miss Xin? The rain was defeated, and he was selected by the king from the rain capital..."

"What?"

"Proton!"

"Then why him?"

"This villain doesn't know!"

"Zhou Mubai!" I've been saying the name all the time, and the more I pronounce it, the smoother it becomes, but I don't feel like I've been waiting long outside.

At last I saw a figure dressed in white coming out of the house, and I could vaguely see his tightly knit brows, his white face, the green silk like a waterfall, and his dark eyes.

My eyes followed him closely, as if he was a magnet and I was iron, I was attracted to him, a very strange feeling came to my heart, my heart was beating faster, my heart was moving, and suddenly four words came out of my mind, a very beautiful idiom "love at first sight".

I was distracted, and the little palace maid reminded me: "Miss Xin, you can..."

"I don't want to paint!" I blurted out, gave the painting to the maid, and strode after him.

He walked so fast that I almost had to run to see him, or I would have easily lost the twists and turns here.

"Young Master Mubai!" The palace maids passing by would smile and call out when they saw him, and he nodded slightly, I felt that he must be very gentle like that.

I kept thinking, why didn't he look back? As soon as he turns around, he will see me, he will know that I am chasing him, and then he will talk to me and get to know me.

"Zhou... Wood... White! "I forgot that I could speak, I knew his name, I could call him his, and he would know I was chasing him when he heard me. But before I could shout a second time, he was gone, and I looked around, and there was no one left.

The clouds were scattered, and the sun was gathering its last rays, and I noticed that it was already dark.

"Anyone? Zhou Mubai? I shouted, but there was no response, I turned and turned, and it took a long time to see a figure, and I shouted happily, "Zhou Mubai!" ”
