Chapter 104: Imperial Painting Academy
"The emperor has arrived, please come out to pick up the concubine!"
Yue'er was taken aback, why did Xuan Ling suddenly arrive, where did the emperor go, didn't he usually send someone to inform him in advance?
Concubine Baili covered her mouth and smiled, and then asked nervously: "Is there a back door in Baiyu Palace?" ”
Yue'er shook her head and pointed to the backyard.
"No, unless you go over the wall."
Baili Concubine didn't speak, got up and ran out of the palace gate towards the backyard, Yue'er followed and ran to the garden, only to see that Baili Fei moved very fast, and came to the wall in a few vertical jumps, and flipped out.
At this time, Rudong and Lu Yao had already opened the door, and Xuan Ling walked in with his father-in-law.
"The concubines didn't know that the emperor had arrived, and they didn't greet her, so I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness!"
Yue'er stepped forward and knelt down to give a salute.
Xuan Ling laughed and said, "I promised to take you to see the Imperial Painting Academy, but I have been unwell for the past few days, and I have been raising you, and I am better today, so I want to take you there quickly, so I didn't call anyone to call you!" ”
Yue'er said carefully: "Yes, the concubine will go to put on makeup and change her clothes." ”
Xuan Ling looked Yue'er up and down, and said with a smile: "You don't need to change, your green shirt and green sleeves are like a hibiscus out of the water, with your temperament, it looks good!" ”
"Your Majesty praises falsely, and the concubines can't afford it."
Yue'er was a little embarrassed, and Xuan Ling laughed again.
"Somehow, as soon as I came to you recently, my mood changed, let's go, let's go to the Imperial Painting Academy!"
Xuan Ling said as he pulled Yue'er up and walked outside.
Outside the door, there was already a dragon and phoenix royal chariot parked, and six horses with pure white coats stood at the front of the car.
Yue'er knew that this was the imperial chariot that the emperor and queen were riding together, and couldn't help but hesitate, but Xuan Ling pulled Yue'er and got on the imperial chariot in a few steps.
The inside of this dragon and phoenix palace is very large, like a small house, with all kinds of tables, chairs and tea sets, snacks on the table, and two palace maids to serve.
Yue'er didn't dare to speak, she estimated that Concubine Duan was also the first time to go to the emperor's palace.
The chariot starts, and the inside is very stable.
Xuan Ling looked at Yue'er's face with a look of pity.
"I have asked the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital to help you find a way, and the burns are not incurable."
"Yes, thank you for your care."
Yue'er wanted to excuse herself, but she didn't know how to refuse.
Xuan Ling leaned on the couch and said, "Yu'er, tell me a joke." ”
Yue'er was stunned, she didn't have such preparations, and suddenly thought of the question she gave to the thirteenth princess last time when the little flower girl guessed the riddle, and said: "Okay, the concubine has heard a question, and I don't know if it's a joke, so I'll tell the emperor." At that moment, she brought back the pile driving hole outside, and this question was given to Xuan Ling.
Xuan Ling was a little suspicious, he stretched out a finger and said, "What, there is such a question, what is the pile driven outside, what is it used to drive piles, is it something on the body?" ”
When Yue'er said that this was a local custom, Xuan Ling laughed.
"Yu'er, you are taking people into the ditch, people who don't know, think it's a compliment!"
"Yes, Yu'er is so shallow and ugly, she can't tell jokes, and the Pope is smiling!"
"Yes, but you're not shallow, you're simple, haha, good, I like it!"
Yue'er hurriedly thanked her, she saw Xuan Ling pick up a piece of dim sum and put it in her mouth, remembering that she hadn't eaten since the morning, and she didn't feel hungry, so she also picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in her mouth.
"Okay, you eat a few more pieces, these snacks are made by the queen herself."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yue'er was honest and unkind, and ate four pastries in a row.
At this time, Xuan Ling picked up a piece of mung bean cake, and a palace maid on the side moved slightly, wanting to speak and stopping, Xuan Ling sensed that she wanted to speak, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
The palace maid knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, these snacks are not only made by the queen's mother, Lin Zhaoyi also made a plate of mung bean cakes for you today and sent them together." ”
Xuan Ling frowned, put down the mung bean cake in his hand, and said, "Okay, I know." Then he changed his expression, and his face was full of mystery.
"I ignored you for three days, are you a little uneasy?"
"Don't dare, the concubine has been honored by the emperor's grace, and there is no anxiety."
"Haha, let me tell you, the reason why I haven't been to see you for three days is not only because of poor health, but more importantly, because I have done something for you."
"Ah, what is it that you have to bother the emperor to do it himself?"
Yue'er was busy kneeling down in the imperial chariot.
Xuan Ling pretended to be profound: "You'll know later, in short, I want to surprise you!" ”
At this moment, Yue'er was suddenly a little moved, Xuan Ling had an elegant temperament, and she didn't feel like a vulgar person, and he was very friendly and talented, Yue'er originally thought that Zhaoju's calligraphy and painting were unique, but compared with Xuan Ling, it was even worse.
"What surprise has Your Majesty prepared?"
"Guess, guess the reward!"
"Then please give your majesty a hint, otherwise Yu'er won't be able to start."
"Haha, no hints."
"That Yu'er doesn't have enough brains, I really can't think of what it is."
Yue'er shook her head again and again.
Xuan Ling laughed again, but this time he laughed twice, and suddenly supported his waist with his hands and frowned.
"Your Majesty, you, what's wrong with you?"
"Low back pain, I've been suffering from low back pain for the past three days!"
"Oh, did you sit too long?"
Xuan Ling smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "Maybe I went to Lin Zhaoyi too diligently, and I still have to do what I can in the future!" ”
"This, what does this have to do with Lin Zhaoyi?"
Yue'er has never experienced anything between men and women, and she doesn't understand the meaning of Xuan Ling's words.
Xuan Ling smiled again.
"I'm saying I've been too diligent in sex these past few months."
Hearing this, Yue'er sighed, her face flushed, if she wasn't wearing a mask, Xuan Ling would definitely see the flaw.
"Actually, when I was with you that day, I felt that I could also listen to songs and paint, and the Queen Mother was right, I really need to take care of myself."
In fact, Xuan Ling was still reluctant to Lin Zhaoyi in his heart, but his body was not safe, and he could no longer act arbitrarily, he planned to go to the Daisy Hall in a few days, and he would have to go at intervals in the future, and he couldn't stay in the Daisy Hall every night.
Yue'er could only nod, she was a little embarrassed.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and the dragon and phoenix seemed to be out of the palace.
"Hey, Your Majesty, why hasn't the Imperial Painting Academy arrived yet?"
"Because the Imperial Painting Academy is in the inner city, not in the palace, it's strange, you've been in the palace for so long, don't you even know this?"
"The concubine has never been here once, Your Majesty, this is a joke Yu'er!"
Xuan Ling made a gesture, a palace maid opened the curtain on one side, Yue'er looked out, startled, only to see the royal chariot walking on a big road, this is the gallop road of the inner city, where it is usually not allowed to walk, and now the gallop road is full of soldiers on both sides, one by one.
Outside the fence of the soldiers galloping on the road, many people knelt on both sides of the road, kowtowing to the royal chariot from time to time.
Yue'er didn't expect that she would go to the Imperial Painting Academy to make such a big move, and she couldn't help but secretly speak, it seems that the royal pomp is really luxurious, like the Sansheng Pavilion and the Frost Leaf Pavilion, which are far from comparable.
The dragon and phoenix drove into a courtyard, the courtyard wall of this courtyard is towering, it is up to two zhang, as if the city wall, there is a guarded gatehouse in the corner of the courtyard wall, although Yue'er lives in the frost leaf pavilion, but does not know that there is such a large courtyard here, if it is passed by before, I think this is a corner of the palace.
Entering the courtyard, the Imperial Rim slowly stopped.
The curtain opened, and Father-in-law Tong asked Xuan Ling and Yue'er to get out of the car.
The first thing that catches your eye is a big lake, and then you see that this is a big garden, there are a lot of rockeries and pavilions by the lake, some dense feeling, but the trees on both sides are also dense, Yue'er has seen the Jiangnan garden, like this around the big lake to build nondescript, I really haven't seen it.
Yue'er remembered that the back door of the Sansheng Pavilion was connected to the Wei River, and the big lake of the Imperial Painting Institute seemed to be connected to the Wei River, and there were several big boats parked by the lake, and there were piles of stones piled up on the boat and on the shore, and these stones were of strange shapes, and I didn't know what to do.
What surprised Yue'er even more was that when she arrived at the Imperial Painting Academy, the guards and eunuchs became very quiet, they didn't say a word, and no one reported that the emperor had arrived, so that those painters came out to pick them up.
Xuan Ling seemed to guess the question in Yue'er's heart, and whispered: "Those guys, all of them are arrogant and have eyes above the top, don't say that if you let them come out to take over, even if you shout that the emperor is coming, they will be unhappy, and if they are not happy, they will throw off their sleeves and do nothing!" ”
