Chapter 23: Portrait of a Miss
As soon as the fifth watch drum sounded, Prince Nadi came out of the palace gate and went to the harem.
The Queen Mother's 60th birthday, the lively scene in the harem can be imagined.
Tang Di visited the queen mother, and before he could present the "magic weapon", he was held by the queen mother's hand: "Di'er, my mother's body is not as good as before, and now the saint is gracious, leaving you in the capital, I am very pleased for my mother, but your marriage, I can't rest assured for my mother!" ”
"Today's Queen Mother's birthday, don't say such things! The queen mother is a thousand years old, and she can naturally see her son marrying a wife and having children. Tang Di comforted.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she suddenly wiped away her tears: "I'm afraid the Queen Mother won't be able to see it." ”
Tang Di immediately knelt on the ground: "Queen Mother, the child is not filial, it makes you angry, the child must get married as soon as possible, and you will not worry about it all the time." ”
"Good!" The Queen Mother suddenly stopped her tears and said loudly: "Zhu'er, go and bring the small statue of the daughter of Yin in Luzhou Mansion to the prince to see." ”
"Yes!" Zhu'er owed slightly, replied crisply, and ran to the back. After a while, he took out a scroll painting and unfolded it in front of Tang Di.
Tang Di got up, shouting in his heart that he was deceived, but he had to pretend to look at the portrait very seriously.
But I saw a graceful woman in the painting, looking at her with affectionate eyes.
"Queen Mother, the skills of this palace painter are becoming more and more proficient, this woman's hands, women's lips, women's clothes, this ........."
"Don't interfere with me, I've got a crush?" The Queen Mother was obviously not very happy, but she wanted to pretend that "the time for the terminal illness is not far away" just now, and she couldn't go back, so she had to ask angrily.
Tang Di took the portrait from Zhu'er's hand, rolled it up and handed it to Lai'an, and said to the Queen Mother: "Take it back, take a good look, if the mother still has a portrait of a daughter, take it back and see it." ”
The Queen Mother was angry and funny: "You little slippery head, you are sloppy with me again." The daughter of the good family, one flower will be picked, even if you are a prince, the flowers are not all opened for you alone, and you will be picked alone! ”
Women in the world are like flowers, one blooms and is picked by men, wilted or tired of seeing and thrown away, men can pick another flower.
Even if he doesn't even have the right to be plucked by whomever he wants, doesn't the man just pick the flowers, but he doesn't even know what the flowers think?
Tang Di has seen too many miserable conditions after the withering of women like flowers. Even though he enjoys all the glory and wealth, he can't escape the loneliness like the sea; I have also seen too many sons and brothers who only look at their faces and smell the fragrance of flowers, but they don't understand the language of flowers and don't understand flowers.
It's really boring!
If that's the case, I, Tang Di, don't want to be that ruthless.
These heartfelt words, since Tang Di's inner monologue, has never been mentioned to anyone, and naturally he will not talk about it to the Queen Mother.
"The queen mother, the flowers bloom every year, and there is no hurry." Tang Di walked to the queen mother with a smile and gave the queen mother a hammer on her shoulder.
The queen mother knew that this child was extremely filial, even if she had her own ideas about marrying a wife and taking a concubine, it was inconvenient to embarrass him anymore, so she had to give up with a smile.
Seeing this, Tang Di ordered Lai'an to hand the "magic weapon" to Zhu'er, and explained to the queen mother that she must strictly follow the prescription.
When the Queen Mother saw that recipe, it was just a matter of eating less melons, fruits, pears and peaches, and porridge was also listed as a taboo, although she was suspicious, she knew that Tang Di had always been safe, so she planned to follow it and not mention it!
Just when the mother and son were talking and laughing, there was a report outside the door that the lord of Yongning asked to see him.
