The warm and powerful hand held her delicate white and soft wattle in time, and brought the gorgeous red to the branch to bloom before letting go.

His palms are not as smooth and delicate as the backs of his hands, but they are rough and dry, large and powerful. Ye Qingyan looked up at him, he was wearing a python-patterned robe, his black hair was scattered, a purple jade dragon hairpin on his head was shining, his phoenix eyes were slanting upward, and there was an elegant smile on his lips.

Ye Qingyan was stunned for a while, and only after a while did he look at him and said, "If the prince doesn't dislike it, I can paint a room." ”

Xiao Changqi pulled a strand of broken hair from her sideburns behind the snow-white and full ear, "It's better to start with this one." ”

"Good ......" Ye Qingyan lowered her head, calmed down, and continued to paint, the red plum in her hand bloomed one by one as she danced with ink.

There are a total of twenty-one red plums, and after all the paintings are finished, Ye Qingyan put down his pen and breathed a long sigh of relief, "The prince is twenty-one this year, and the concubine will draw twenty-one flowers." ”

"Looks like I'll get a painting of twenty-two plums next year." Pick up the drawing paper, look at the plum blossoms on the painting full of vitality, the flowers are gorgeous and enchanting, and the postures are different, as if there is a faint fragrance coming to the face.

"As long as the prince doesn't dislike it." Ye Qingyan's painting is all casual, and he really hasn't practiced it well. But after living for a long time, casually painting has quite its own artistic conception in it.

Xiao Changqi is a person who understands painting, and can see the artistic conception in Ye Qingyan's paintings, just like the soul of a painting, a spiritual painting, whether the painting skills are clever or clumsy, it is a very good work.

"Lord, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"That's it...... I would like to go to Qiangshan again. ”

Now that the snow on Qiang Mountain has melted, maybe there are herbs too, and she wants to check it out.

Xiao Changqi didn't want to say no: "No, King Xidi has died, the new king has ascended the throne, and it is better for Xidi to have less of the past now." ”

Ye Qingyan understood that as soon as King Xidi died and the new king succeeded to the throne, he would soon attack the Yan Dynasty. In that case, she would have to go even more.

"Ten days, you give me ten days, and I promise to come back. By the way, I can also help you find out the movement of the Sidi border. ”

"I have spies, it's not your turn."

"......" Ye Qingyan flattened the corners of his mouth, looked at Xiao Changqi pitifully, and said coquettishly: "Husband~ Concubine has sent you to paint." ”

Xiao Changqi's heart trembled suddenly, and finally gritted his teeth, "No, I will never agree." ”

As he spoke, he was leaving, and he didn't forget to take the plum painting.

Ye Qingyan hugged his waist, "Husband, just let me go, I am also a cultivator at the peak of the realm Xiaocheng, and ordinary people can't beat me." ”

"There are too many small geographies, and the heavenly stems and terrestrial branches are all geographies." She has good qualifications, but she has little practical experience, and she practices flattery, which is against men, so let her use flattery on other men? How can it be!

Ye Qingyan was hit, she always thought that her kung fu was good......

"Then let's do it, you can send a few people to protect me, it's okay."

"Nope."

"How do you agree?"

"You can go somewhere else."

"That kind of vanilla is only found in Qiangshan. If there were anywhere else, I would definitely go. ”

"What does the vanilla you said look like, draw it, I will send someone to pick it, even if there is no one on the Qiang Mountain in half of Jizhou, I will find it for you when I go over the mountain."

"That kind of vanilla is not rare in Qiang Mountain. It's just that there is a condition when harvesting it, and it will have that sweet flavor when it is fresh, and it will not have that sweetness when it is wilted and dried. ”

“…… Do you have to go? ”

"Yes, unless your people, they will make incense. And the incense making has to go through many efforts such as picking, steaming, cooking, stir-frying, baking, grinding, etc., and the fragrance is thousands of miles apart. ”

"...... "Don't talk about his subordinates, even he doesn't understand."

"You can accompany my mother on a trip." A white-clothed man with a fair appearance and delicate eyebrows entered the courtyard gate.

Ye Qingyan looked over, and the person who came was thin and thin, as if he could be blown away by the wind. He put his hands in his wide sleeves and slowly approached Ye Qingyan and Xiao Changqi.

"Renran?" Xiao Changqi looked at the visitor with some surprise, "Are you well?" ”

When Ye Qingyan heard this name, his heart jumped suddenly, and then he looked at him again...... Ren Ran, does he look like this?

Ren Ran, one of Xiao Changqi's right-hand men, has been wearing a mask since the first day he became prime minister, and he has never taken it off in front of people until he died, and no one knows what he looks like. In other words, the people who know are either dead or only a handful. Some say that he is as ugly as Zhong Kui, and some say that he looks better than Xiao Changqi and is as handsome as a god, anyway, she has never seen it in her previous life.

For the sake of Xiao Changqi's foundation, Ren Ran really worked hard all his life, and after his death, he did not have a son and a half daughter by his side, only a concubine, who accompanied him after his death. She still remembered that when the concubine was dying, she came to look for her, but she had a hard time getting up at that time and couldn't see the woman.

In fact, she is also very puzzled by this person. Because, after Xiao Changqi's death, every time she was critically ill, he and the imperial doctor accompanied her to take care of her. But when she got better, she left immediately. If it weren't for Chunyu, she wouldn't have known he had been here.

"Thank you for your concern, my subordinates are already in good health, and I am willing to accompany my mother to Qiangshan."

Ye Qingyan looked at Xiao Changqi, and then at Ren Ran, she didn't know Ren Ran at this time, so she looked unfamiliar.

Xiao Changqi said to Ye Qingyan: "Ren Ran, the guest I value the most. ”

"Oh, hello Mr. Ren." Ye Qingyan gave a blessing.

Ren Ran is neither humble nor arrogant in return, "Blessed mother." ”

"If you want to go to Qiangshan, you can do it, but you have to take Ren Ran with you." Xiao Changqi finally took a step back. Ren Ran's strength, he trusts it, and with his protection, he can let her go.

Ye Qingyan looked at Ren Ran's thin body, and his face was paler than ordinary people, but a pair of amber eyes were shining, revealing a touch of extraordinary.

"If he drags me back, I can't promise I won't leave your guest."

Hearing this, Xiao Changqi smiled.

Ren Ran also smiled and replied: "Niangniang can leave Ren behind, your safety is the most important." ”

Although Ren Ran looks thin and in poor health, he has also lived a rare life. After Xiao Changqi became the emperor, in the court, he often confronted Xiao Changqi-for-tat, and sometimes Xiao Changqi was so angry that he dismissed his official, and then used it again, with several ups and downs. is also a legend, so Ye Qingyan is still very curious about him, and he can learn more about him by taking him to Qiang Mountain.

……

The official road apricot blossom forest, the flowers are in full bloom.

Ye Qingyan dressed as a teenager, carrying his own baggage, and galloped on horseback. Passing by a forest of apricot blossoms, I slowed down and looked at the apricot blossoms, and my nose was full of the fragrance of apricot blossoms.

I couldn't help but say: "Although it is later than the fragrance of the capital, it will not be inferior by half a point." ”
