Palace.

"Your Majesty, Han'er is finally back, it's all your fault, it's all your fault for being so ruthless, and letting Han'er stay at the border for so many years. You are willing to do it, I, the queen mother, am distressed to death. The queen's face was delicate, her white skin was like a freshly peeled egg, pink and tender, not at all like she was over forty, and the charm still existed.

Emperor Tang hugged the queen over and comforted, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault, this time I recruited Xiaosi to come back, I won't let him go, I still have to choose a princess for him, can the queen help with the staff?" ”

"Your Majesty, you finally think of Xiaosi, and the concubines will definitely do their best in this matter."

The emperor smiled quite meaningfully, Xiao Si is you, and Xiao Jiu.

Sneezing ...... Xiao Jiu, who was intoxicated with self-admiring the painting, suddenly sneezed, who was talking about me. Dressed in a white nightgown, loosely on the ground, he stretched out a hand, supporting half of his head with some irritation, his hair was slightly messy, and his handsome and childish face was tinged with a hint of displeasure. For the newly completed painting, I felt that something was missing, and I was not very satisfied.

The fourth brother is back, let's go to his house tomorrow to discuss how to avoid my father's red line.

The next day, the Imperial Study.

"Son, knock on your father!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Father!" Cold side waiting, waiting.

"I'm finally back, it's hard work, don't complain, I haven't recruited you back to Beijing for so many years." The emperor put down the pen in his hand and looked at Leng Han, his eyes full of pride.

"The sons don't dare, it's the minister's job to protect the family and defend the country."

"Your queen mother can complain, she thinks you are very tight, and she will accompany your queen mother to talk to you later."

"Erchen, I'll go later."

"Little Four, I neglected to care about you for ten years at the border, I feel guilty, I want to compensate you. You are twenty-four this year, there are no women in the barracks, and you don't even have a concubine until now, seeing that your sixth brother has two children. I won't let you go back to the border this time, otherwise your mother will ignore me. I discussed with your queen mother, choose a princess for you, and send some portraits of noble girls to your house later, you pick them first. Tell your queen mother if you like it. ”

Leng Han chuckled in his heart, he was really said by Xiao Jiu, but this time the father said directly, how to deal with this. "Back to my father, my sons have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, I'm afraid that these noble ladies in Yanjing are too squeamish and not suitable for their sons."

The emperor pondered for a moment, "I don't think about it, you first look at the portraits of those noble girls, they are all carefully selected by your mother, don't live up to your mother's wishes." If there's nothing to do, go to your mother's place, and step down! ”

"Retire there!"

Looking at the back of Leng Han's departure, Xiao Si, Xiao Si, you can't escape, I know that you are smart, I won't tell you directly, but I didn't calculate like I did for Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, and directly selected a woman to design them to know each other. I don't want to admit that I haven't seen him for too long, and I'm not familiar with my son for fear of picking the wrong person.

"Little Dengzi, let the ministers send the portraits of their daughters who are not married and of marriageable age, and I want to choose a princess for the four princes." There are so many daughters in the world, you can't even look down on Xiaosi if you don't believe it.

Coming out of the imperial study, Leng Han came to the queen. "Son, knock on the queen mother, let the queen mother worry."

When the queen saw her son, who she hadn't seen for many years, her excited eyes flashed with tears, and she hurriedly stepped forward to pull Leng Han over, "Come here, let the queen mother take a good look, my Han'er has grown so big." The queen mother made a lot of food that you loved when you were a child, and you will eat it with the queen mother for a while. ”

Four Princes' Mansions.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, you are finally back, but you want to kill me......" The Nine Princes rushed straight to the cold study. The tired butler who followed behind gasped.

"Huh, what about people?"

The housekeeper who followed up gasped for a while, "Ninth Prince, Lord Wang, he entered the palace early in the morning and hasn't come back yet." ”

"I guess the queen mother will leave him to come back after dinner, you go and get some food for the king, and the king will wait in the study first."

The Nine Princes, who entered the study, were immediately attracted by the beautiful bathing picture painted by Shu Ruo spread out on the desk. "Good painting, good painting, between the mountains and rivers and the ink, the flowers on the other side are blooming again and again. The fourth brother is vivid, three points into the wood, and he is swimming in the painting, how can he be a good word. "The Nine Princes can't wait to take the painting for themselves immediately, and they will be a little unable to wait. Fourth brother, why haven't you come back, I have to ask the fourth brother to give me this painting.

The moon hung on the branches, Leng Han came back, and after listening to the housekeeper's report, Xiao Jiu was waiting for him in the study, and walked to the study. "Xiao Jiu, are you looking for me?"

"Ah, fourth brother, fourth brother, you are finally back." Xiao Jiu stepped forward and hammered the cold cold, "Don't be so cold, I want to kill you, wait for you to get dark." ”

Leng Han walked past him and glanced at the painting on the table, "I just came back, and after entering the palace to see my father and queen mother, why didn't you go to the palace?" ”

"How dare I enter the palace now, it's too late to hide from my father, I'm only seventeen years old, my father wants to find me a princess, fourth brother, you have to help me." Xiao Jiu's face was bitter.

Leng Han silently put away the painting, "I can't help, my father wants me to choose the princess, and tomorrow there will be a bunch of portraits of noble girls sent to the palace, otherwise you will choose with me?" ”

"Fourth brother, aren't you cheating on me?" The Ninth Prince saw Leng Han's movements, "Don't, don't, Fourth Brother, which master's masterpiece is this painting, where is this master, can you please recommend it to Fourth Brother, can I give this painting to me?" "As he spoke, he was going to get it.

Leng Han dodged and put the painting away.

"Fourth brother, you don't love me anymore, isn't it just a painting, although the painting is you, but you know, my ambition is to collect the masterpieces of the world's masters, and now, a masterpiece is seen but can't be taken for yourself, not for my life." Saying that, I still want to grab it.

Leng Han ignored him.

"Fourth brother, why don't you introduce me to it, and I'll ask for one myself?" Looking at the fourth brother's protective strength, he refused to let the painting go, maybe he could ask for one.

Ask for one? That's fine. The little figure who pretended to be calm appeared in Leng Han's mind. Dark one said that she had been painting for the past two days, and had never sold a single painting, and that day she was dressed so tattered, and she didn't know if she would have enough money to give.

"Xiao Jiu, go to Juxianglou tomorrow and bring me a bottle of good wine!"

"No, I'm going to paint!"

"It's late, let's go back!"

Walking out of the palace, Xiao Jiu looked confused, and did not give a painting or recommendation, what did he say about the wine of Juxianglou, is this a recommendation when he buys wine?
