"Sister, you say, can this plum blossom bloom until the end of the year? This will be so beautiful, but don't thank you for the New Year. ”

"Thank you, change a few pots, the emperor doesn't like to wait for the flowers to bloom, don't you remember?"

Of course, Kang Yufei remembered that it was the flowering period that left her behind. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's just that the emperor wants to find someone to take care of the plum blossoms in the courtyard.

"But when the flowers bloom, isn't it the most interesting?" Kang Yufei remembered that in the coldest time of the year, she couldn't go out, leaning against the window, watching the buds slowly bloom, which was a rare expectation. Looking forward to the flowers blooming, expecting the snow to stop, expecting the person to appear in front of her again after spring comes, shouting, "Yufei." ”

"What are you thinking?" Hongxia pushed her, "Thinking so distractedly." ”

"I remembered that my brother next door used to say that the plum blossoms are spring, and now it seems that the sky should be warmer." Kang Yufei looked up at the plum tree in the courtyard, which was blooming.

"Brother next door?" Hongxia pulled her over and teased her, "Brother love? ”

Kang Yufei pushed her away with a smile, "No." Thinking of Zhong Yunmiao, the second brother of the Zhong family, although things are not human, she still can't help but blush.

"Yo, looking at the little face, I said no." Hongxia folded a plum blossom and stuck it in her bun, quipping, "Did the brother next door give you this blooming plum blossom?" ”

Kang Yufei couldn't say the feeling in his heart, remembering that his whereabouts are still unknown, he couldn't help but feel worried, "No, don't say it." ”

"Emperor, Your Majesty ......" Hongxia's voice suddenly changed and became nervous, Kang Yufei didn't need to look up to guess what was happening, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and the corners of her dragon-patterned clothes slowly appeared in front of her sight.

"Zhao Jie, come in with me."

When the emperor spoke, Kang Yufei naturally listened, entered the study, and saw the posture on the table, she sighed secretly in her heart, it seemed that it was another errand for ink research.

She walked to the table, and before the emperor could speak, she started to do it.

"I'm much more sensible." The emperor smiled, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a little warmth flowed out.

Kang Yufei didn't dare to look blindly, so he quickly lowered his head and immersed himself in boring ink grinding.

Although she was concentrating on studying ink, she could see that the emperor was painting when she raised the corner of her eyes slightly. There were several crumpled balls of paper piled up in the corners of the table, and some paint was placed on the table, and a lot of it was spilled. The table was also a mess, with large sheets of paper stained with ink, and three or four pens thrown at random. It seems that he has been drawing for a long time, and it is not smooth.

"Come and see, how is the drawing?"

Kang Yufei was stunned, thinking that she was the only one in this room except for the emperor, and this should be said to her.

She raised her head, just in time to meet the emperor's bright gaze, which made her a little stunned, "Slave, slave doesn't know how to draw." ”

She's not lying, she really doesn't understand that. Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is all half-, and never dares to say much in front of outsiders.

"It's okay, in front of me, you say it casually, I don't blame you."

The tone seemed a little unusual, and it sounded pleasant and casual, just like the older brothers in the family.

She bit her lip, raised her head, and thinking of the emperor's warm gaze just now, she still turned her face slightly sideways, not daring to look at each other. She walked to the emperor's side, stood at a distance of one person, stretched her neck and looked.

The painting is a plum blossom, like the plum tree in the courtyard, although the branches and leaves are not dense, but they are luxuriant.

"It's a really good drawing." She complimented.

"So what's the matter?"

This was embarrassing for her, she thought hard about it, and held back these few words, "Vivid, lifelike." ”

"This compliment doesn't seem to be too distracting."

Kang Yufei swallowed her saliva and smiled dryly, "The slave really thinks that this painting is the same as the real thing, it looks good, it is very good-looking." She gave a thumbs up, trying to be as sincere as she could with the boastful gesture.

The emperor smiled. Kang Yufei didn't dare to look at the emperor's smile, but listening to this laughter, it seemed to be sincere. This level is about over.

"This painting is for you."

Kang Yufei blinked, not daring to answer, this stands to reason, it shouldn't be with her, right? How can he be virtuous, and suddenly he can get the emperor's ink treasure, which must be deceitful.

"What, I didn't draw well? Don't want it? ”

Kang Yufei plopped and fell to the ground, "The slave doesn't dare to accept it." ”

"I thought you didn't dare to do anything."

This didn't sound like a good thing, Kang Yufei hurriedly explained, "The status of the slave and maid is low, firstly, she has not done anything suitable for the imperial court, and secondly, she has not won the favor of the emperor, so naturally she does not dare to accept it." ”

"It's just a painting, it seems that I want to give you the country."

Kang Yufei was even more frightened, and hurriedly kowtowed.

"Get up, get up and speak, I'm tired of listening."

"Slaves don't dare." Kang Yufei didn't understand what the emperor meant, although it was just a painting, but she really didn't have any reason to be rewarded, listening to this word, it seemed to be a little intimidating, and she felt that it was a fraud.

She felt that the emperor squatted down, very close to her, she could smell the faint fragrance that belonged to the emperor, she remembered that there was a flower in this spice that was unique to the north, born on the cliff wall after the snow on the winter solstice, a small white flower, extremely difficult to pick. The third brother once climbed over the cliff and wanted to pick one, but he scratched his right leg, and the blood stains pulled out an ugly bloody wound, which made people's scalp numb.

"You get up first." The voice was soft and glutinous, as if the third brother begged her for help after getting into trouble. But it was the emperor who said this, the emperor who had a grudge against her family.

She bit her lip, and couldn't guess what the emperor wanted to do at this moment, so she could only get up in a daze. As soon as she looked up, she found that she was so close to the emperor that she could clearly see his fluttering eyelashes and a faint smile at the corners of his eyes. She was startled, and she retreated, taking advantage of the gap between her and her feet, and took half a step back.

"I said I gave it to you, so I gave it to you, and I can't help but accept it." The emperor began to pack up the paintings, and halfway through the roll, he suddenly thought of something and spread it out again.

"Your Majesty, slave maid ......"

"What's wrong again?" The emperor's voice sounded not angry, as if with a coquettish tone.

This gave Kang Yufei a little courage to continue refusing, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid really can't accept this painting, and the slave and maid want to offer this painting, but the slave and maid's room is just a slap on the ground, dirty and dark, and it really has the emperor's prestige." If you put the painting away, but it doesn't show the emperor's benevolence and generosity, and the cabinet in the room is dark and damp, in case it ......"

The emperor was not annoyed or angry, propped up the table with his hands, and quietly listened to Kang Yufei.

"If this painting is damaged even a little, then the slave and maid will not be able to atone for their sins even if they die. The slave felt that the emperor's paintings were one in ten thousand, and the fairy should frame them and hang them in this study for the adults and mothers to appreciate and analyze. Saying so much in one breath, Kang Yufei was really tired and panicked, but when she thought of bringing this treasure back, she still had to cheer up and refuse.

There are a lot of things rewarded by the emperor, but there are many things in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, but none of them can be offered as treasure ancestors. Not to mention anything else, just this bloody iron edict almost exhausted the mental strength of the entire Hou Mansion.

"So, this painting is a problem for you."

"How can the emperor's painting be a trouble, that's a baby. It's just that the slave is lowly, how can she be worthy of such a baby, don't taint the value of the baby. For a small role like a slave and maid, just send it away for a few taels of silver. "She has already said this, the emperor should stop thinking about it.
