Duanmu Guifei looked at Duanmu Jun in a complicated mood, she wanted to speak and stopped, and wanted to persuade again, but when the words came to her mouth, she suddenly had another idea.

Actually, if you think about it from another angle, it seems, probably, seems to be good.

The son said in the letter that Nanhuai people are still resisting, and it will take about a year or two when he comes back, she was worried that she would miss Duanmujun, since Duanmujun herself doesn't want to marry, then you can wait for her son to come back from the south, let them go everywhere, maybe Duanmujun will be moved!

At that time, Duanmujun was eighteen or nineteen years old, which was the best years!

That's right, it's an opportunity.

Duanmu Guifei looked at Duanmu Jun, the corners of her delicate lips curled, and even her eyes became brighter, and her eyes were burning.

Where to find such a good daughter-in-law, I can't miss it.

"Sister Jun," Duanmu Guifei said lovingly and kindly, "You have always been a girl with ideas, and this palace will not persuade you much, but there are many choices in life, and you should not drill the horns, you have to stick to one." You are only seventeen years old, and your life is still long, you don't have to make a decision so quickly, look slowly, pick slowly, you are a girl from the Shoufu family, and you don't have to worry about getting married. ”

Duanmu just pursed his lips and smiled.

Duanmu Guifei felt a little powerless in her heart again, and besides, a delicate and familiar female voice came from outside the curtain of Concubine Xiang: "Cousin Xuan, cousin Scarlet!" ”

Han Xingfeng came back in a hurry, and his little face was full of energy.

As soon as Hanxing arrived, Duanmu Guifei didn't have a chance to speak, so she saw that her daughter didn't care about saluting herself, so she took Duanmu Fei's little hand and said, "Cousin Scarlet, come with this palace." ”

It's so hot outside, in fact, Duanmu Fei prefers to stay in a comfortable palace, but she has no chance at all, and has been pulled away by Han Xingfeng in a hurry.

The Xiangfei curtain fell again and rattled.

Duanmu Guifei couldn't help shaking her head, and sighed again in her heart: Not only this little niece, but her own daughter is still a child!

Duanmu Guifei and Duanmu Jun faced each other, and they both smiled.

After leaving the Zhongcui Palace, there was a burst of hot air blowing in the face, and the autumn tiger was quite violent.

It was almost noon, and the golden sun was shining and scorching.

Duanmu Fei almost didn't retreat, Han Xing pulled Duanmu Fei into a winding verandah unhurriedly, pouted and said: "Cousin Scarlet, the third emperor sister has to fight with the palace, you have to help the palace." She took Duanmufei's little hand and shook it, looking coquettish.

Duanmu Fei didn't have a problem with this cousin, and he was a little curious in his heart, raised his eyebrows and asked slightly, "Cousin Hanxing, what happened?" ”

Han Xing looked like "Bengong knows that you will help Bengong", and said eloquently: "The Third Emperor Sister got a painting today, she has to say that it is the true work of Yan Xiuzhu in the previous dynasty. I've heard you mention it before.,Yan Xiuzhu has a quirk when he paints bamboo.,I have to draw the bamboo into a double number.,This morning this palace was idle and bored and counted it...... As a result, it turned out that some of the bamboo joints in the picture were even and some were singular. That's definitely not the bamboo painted by Yan Xiuzhu! ”

Bengong told the Third Emperor Sister, but she didn't believe it, so she said that it was Yan Xiuzhu's painting. The palace quarreled with her, and made a bet, just when the third emperor brother passed by, the third emperor sister called him over to comment, and the third emperor brother also felt that it was Yan Xiuzhu's real work. ”

"Hmph, cousin Scarlet, how can you be wrong with what you told this palace, of course this palace is not convinced, thinking that you came to the palace today, so I came to you to move the rescuers."

Han Xing raised his chin, and his small mouth was so pouting that he was about to hang up the oil bottle.

Duanmu Fei hurriedly grabbed her hand and pulled her to continue walking, "Cousin Hanxing, don't worry, there is me!" She smiled confidently.

Of course, Han Xing knew how godly her scarlet cousin was, and echoed with a smile: "This palace knows, you know astronomy and geography ......" After saying a few words, she couldn't help but laugh.

Duanmu Fei took two more breaths than Han Xing, and couldn't help laughing, and the crisp laughter of the two little girls filled the air and went away with the wind.

The two cousins talked and laughed and went to the Imperial Garden, until they came to the Tinglan Water Pavilion.

From a distance, Duanmu Fei saw Shu Yun, the third princess, and Mu Youjing, the third prince, sitting at a stone table in the Water Pavilion, in addition to the two of them, there were also Wang Wanru, the fifth girl of Xuanwu Marquis' Mansion, and Shu Yun and Hanxing's companions, which were so lively.

Of course, a few people in the water pavilion also saw Han Xing and Duanmu Fei, and Shu Yun said mockingly: "Fourth Emperor Sister, you are willing to gamble and lose, you will lose the style of a gentleman if you don't admit defeat like this." ”

Han Xing ignored her, pulled Duanmu Fei from the short corridor stretched out from the shore and walked into the water pavilion, until he came to the stone table, pointed to the painting on the tabletop and said, "Cousin Scarlet, you take a look for the palace, is this painting genuine?" ”

This is a "Ink Bamboo Picture", which depicts layers of ink bamboo with burnt ink and thick ink and light ink, with many layouts but not chaotic, and the ink bamboo is delicate and upright, with unique style.

Duanmu Fei looked closely, but she was not counting the bamboo knots, but looking at the brushstrokes of the painting.

After a while, she raised her head and said with certainty: "It's a fake." ”

The atmosphere in the water pavilion changed immediately, and several other people looked at each other with different expressions, surprised, suspicious, questioning, and angry......

Han Xing looked at Shu Yun triumphantly, raised his chin and said, "Look, this palace will say it's fake!" ”

"Impossible." Shu Yun said without thinking, her gentle voice on weekdays was a little sharp, she glanced at Duanmu Fei, and said lightly, "What does she know?!" ”

Duanmufei once followed Hanxing to the study several times, Shu Yun also admitted that Duanmufei's hairpin flower is really good, but it is just a good handwriting, every time he goes to the study, Duanmufei is basically either in a daze, or dozing off, as if he has never woken up.

Although Shu Yun had heard a lot of rumors in Beijing about Duanmu Scarlet Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, he felt that it was just an exaggeration of rumors, and there was no shortage of so-called talented women in Beijing who were exaggerated.

"Of course Cousin Scarlet understands." Han Xing said confidently, looking at Shu Yun with four eyes, and the two sisters' eyes collided with sparks, and no one was convinced.

There were several princes and princesses present, Wang Wanru didn't dare to say anything, but she was disdainful in her heart, feeling that Duanmu Fei clearly didn't know how to pretend to understand, and she was just flattering the four princesses.

The companions were also silent, not wanting to get involved in the discord between the two princesses.

In contrast, Mu Youjing, the third prince sitting next to Shu Yun, looked calm and generous.

"Fourth Miss Duanmu, how did you tell that this painting is a fake?" The corners of his mouth still had a gentle smile on his lips, looking at Duanmu Fei and begging for advice.

Duanmu Fei rarely enters the palace in Duanmu Mansion on weekdays, Mu Youjing is worried that he won't have a chance to see her, so he naturally wants to seize the opportunity like today to talk to her a few more words.

Shu Yun pursed his lips and said, "Fourth girl Duanmu, you won't have to say that the bamboo is not an even number, right?" ”

"That's one of them." Duanmu nodded matter-of-factly, "Yan Xiuzhu loves bamboo like his life, and he has been with bamboo all his life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a bamboo idiot." Every time he paints bamboo, he is from looking at bamboo, thinking about bamboo and then painting bamboo, composition, layers, details, etc. are all familiar with the chest, once the pen is started, it is done in one go, and never stop changing the pen. Look at this ink and bamboo picture......"

Duanmu pointed to a few bamboo knots and bamboo leaves, "There is a bit of hesitation between the lines of the brush, and the parts of the thick ink and the light ink, judging from the brushstrokes and ink, I am afraid that they are not from the same pen at all." ”

"This painting is a fake, although it looks good at first glance, but a fake is a fake, and a fake can't be real." Duanmu said with a smile.

"Impossible, impossible!" Wang Wanru's face became more and more ugly with Duanmu Fei's words and sentences, and she endured it again and again, and finally couldn't help but retort, "Fourth Miss Duanmu, are you accusing me of sending fakes to Her Royal Highness the Third Princess?!" ”

Duanmufei ignored her, looked at Hanxing, and blinked, meaning, this "Ink Bamboo Picture" is Wang Wanru's?

Han Xing also winked at Duanmu Fei, meaning, that's right.

Wang Wanru saw that Duanmu Fei ignored herself, and her emotions became even more excited, and she said: "This painting can't be a fake!" You don't know how to draw at all, don't talk nonsense! ”

How could this painting be a fake!

Who doesn't know that her uncle Ji Chengtian loved calligraphy and painting, and collected many paintings of celebrities during his lifetime, especially Yan Xiuzhu's calligraphy and paintings. This painting is one of her uncle's treasures, how can it be fake!

Mu Youjing glanced at Wang Wanru lightly, this glance was gentle and calm, cool as water, seeing Wang Wanru's heart chuckle, her heart sank little by little, and she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

Mu Youjing smiled at Duanmu and said: "The fourth girl of Duanmu is right, it is the negligence of the palace, today is really better than listening to your words for ten years." He looked personable and modest.

Han Xing's eyes lit up, his smile was bright, and he clasped his hands together and said, "Brother Sanhuang, you have vision!" Of course, her scarlet cousin can't be wrong! Han Xing said as he threw Shu Yun a smug look, as if to say, I'll just say it!

Shu Yun looked embarrassed, pursed her lips, and looked at the "Ink Bamboo Picture" again, although she still didn't see the reason, but since Mu Youjing said so, she also believed it, and she was angry in her heart.

It's all to blame for this Wang Wanru, who actually gave herself a fake, causing her to lose face here with the third emperor brother and the fourth emperor sister!

"Fifth Miss Wang," Shu Yun's expression was slightly cold, and he asked unceremoniously, "What do you mean by sending such a fake to this palace?!" Do you want to humiliate Hongu?! There was a hint of anger in her tone.

"Your Royal Highness the Third Princess, you misunderstood...... Wang Wanru hurriedly wanted to explain, but she couldn't say that she took this painting from Ji Lanzhou, she was so panicked that she hated Ji Lanzhou in her heart.

At this time, Han Xing's eyes caught a glimpse of something, and he whispered: "Father." ”

For a while, everyone in the Water Pavilion followed Han Xing's gaze towards the Qingzhi Water Pavilion on the other side, and saw the emperor in bright yellow dragon robe walking along the short corridor between the two Water Pavilions, followed by a small chamberlain in Tsing Yi behind him.

Mu Youjing, Shu Yun and others, who were originally sitting on the stone bench, got up to greet each other and saluted: "The emperor (father)." ”

The emperor was in a good mood, and a smile overflowed on his handsome face. As soon as he finished handling government affairs in the imperial study, he came to the imperial garden for a walk to enjoy the flowers, and when he saw a few children gathered in this Tinglan Water Pavilion, he came over curiously to have a look.

"Ah Jing, Shu Yun, Han Xing, and the little girl of the Duanmu family, what are you doing here?" The emperor asked with a friendly expression, sat down on a stone bench beside the stone table, and naturally saw the painting spread out on the table.

Seeing that the emperor also specifically mentioned Duanmu Fei, Wang Wanru was stunned, a gloomy color quickly flashed under her eyes, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes, covering the different colors at the bottom of her eyes, and made a respectful and gentle look.

Mu Youjing smiled slightly, and did not mention that Wang Wanru planned to give this painting to Shu Yun, only saying that several of them had some disputes about whether this painting was genuine or fake, and finally Duanmu Fei judged that Yan Xiuzhu's "Ink Bamboo Picture" was a fake.

Mu Youjing said in an orderly manner, and pointed out a few places pointed out by Duanmufei on the painting to the emperor, and the emperor was also a little interested, and took a closer look at the painting, and the smile on his face became stronger.

"Little girl, you have a good eye." The emperor leisurely shook the folding fan in his hand, smiled and praised Duanmu Fei, and was very graceful, "I just saw this painting at first glance, and I almost saw it wrong. ”

As he spoke, the Emperor glanced at the painting a few more times, with great interest.

Han Xing's little face became even more proud when he heard this, and his tail was about to rise to the sky.

Hearing the emperor say this, Shu Yun disappeared at this moment, even if he still had a trace of luck in his heart.

There is no doubt that this painting is a fake.

Shu Yun couldn't help but glared at Wang Wanru again, and sighed regretfully: "My father has always appreciated Yan Xiuzhu's calligraphy and paintings, and my son originally wanted to give this painting to my father......

Saying that, Shu Yun felt a little lucky.

There are many celebrities around her father, if she dedicates the painting to her father and queen, and then people see that this is a fake, then my father is afraid that he will feel that he has lost face, then he is not ......

Wang Wanru felt that the eyes of the third princess were pierced in her face like a sharp arrow, and she was uneasy, and before she knew it, the middle clothes behind her were already soaked with sweat. She was afraid that the third princess would be disgusted with her because of this, and she also complained that Ji Lanzhou actually gave her a fake, which made her lose face in front of the emperor and several princes and princesses!

Ji, Lan, and Zhou all blame Ji Lanzhou for putting themselves in such an embarrassing situation. Wang Wan couldn't wait to fly back to the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion to settle accounts with Ji Lanzhou.

Her complexion turned blue and purple, purple and white, and changed.

However, no one in this water pavilion cared about her existence anymore.

The emperor spoke to Duanmu Fei with great interest: "Little girl, you are not only good at painting, but also quite insightful at appreciating paintings, not bad." ”

"The emperor has won the award." Duanmu Fei said modestly, "The courtiers just happen to have a little bit of research on Yan Xiuzhu. ”

Every time he saw Cousin Scarlet pretending to be modest, Han Xing felt funny, covered his mouth and smiled, and interjected: "Father, don't listen to Cousin Scarlet being modest, when it comes to Yan Xiuzhu, if she ranks second, others can't say first, otherwise...... How can Erchen see that this is a fake! ”

Han Xing's cause and effect was a little strange when I first heard it, but the emperor laughed when he heard it, his daughter's calligraphy, painting and reading are mediocre, especially good at riding horses, polo, juju and the like, she said this, in the emperor's ears, it is really very vivid.

Duanmu bent the corners of his lips, smiled very cutely, and said cooperatively: "If I were to draw this ink and bamboo picture, it should be a little more like." She was a little proud and a little humble, like a cunning little fox, which made the emperor more and more happy.

Mu Youjing's eyes flashed slightly when she looked at this scene, the fourth girl of the Duanmu Shoufu family was outstanding in learning, not only to please the Lord Cen Du, but even her father and emperor looked at her a little differently, if she could marry her, it would kill three birds with one stone.

Mu Youjing tried to suppress the eagerness and ambition in his eyes, and smiled quietly.

At this time, a short and fat middle-aged chamberlain hurriedly came to this side, and at a glance he knew that he was looking for the emperor.

After the middle-aged waiter saluted the emperor, he came to the emperor's side and whispered in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, Ding Zhongqing and others are making trouble on the street......

The emperor frowned, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared immediately, he turned his head to look at Han Xing and said, "Han Xing, you treat your cousin well, I still have something to do......"

The emperor got up, stroked his sleeve, and then walked away.

The two chamberlains naturally followed in unison, and there were only a few young boys and girls left in the water pavilion.

"Fourth girl Duanmu," Mu Youjing quickly withdrew his gaze from the emperor's back, "There is a ...... in the main palace."

He wanted to say that he had a painting of Yan Xiuzhu there, and wanted to ask Duanmu Fei to taste it, but he was only halfway through the words, so Han Xing hurriedly interrupted: "Third Emperor Brother, the mother concubine is still waiting for the palace and Cousin Fei, let's go first." She took Duanmu Fei's hand and walked away in a hurry, not giving Mu Youjing a chance to speak again.

Seeing this, Han Xing's companion also took advantage of the situation to retire.

In just a few breaths, there are half fewer people in this Tinglan Water Pavilion.

Looking at the backs of the cousins leaving, Mu Youjing's face stiffened slightly.

After a while, he came back to his senses, his handsome face was still gentle and elegant, and he got up and said, "Third Emperor Sister, I still have something to do for my brother, so I'll leave first." ”

Shu Yun said "go slowly", then looked at Wang Wanru with a worried expression, and said coldly: "Fifth girl Wang, you go back first...... Oh, and don't forget your drawings! ”

A blue-clothed palace goddess stretched out her hand to Wang Wanru to make an invitation, and Wang Wanru only felt that the two companions of the third princess looked at her mockingly, like a man's back.

She hurriedly put away the painting on the table in person, and bowed her knees and retired: "Your Royal Highness the Third Princess, the courtier will retire first." ”

Wang Wanru followed the blue-clothed palace maid and left almost as if she had fled in the wilderness, her face was as white as paper, and her heart was burning, like a wild beast roaring in her body, ready to break out at any moment......

She suppressed this anger again and again, and she did not attack when she was in the palace, nor did she attack in the carriage, until she arrived at the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion, she finally broke out.

Like an angry bison, she rampaged to a courtyard in the northwest corner of the Hou Mansion, but when she learned that Ji Lanzhou was not in the house, she rushed towards the garden angrily, all the way to the small flower hall.

"Ji Lanzhou, did you deliberately make a fake painting to frame me, causing me to make a big fool in the palace today!"

Wang Wanru raised her hand and pointed at Ji Lanzhou, who was sitting by the window, and the anger in her heart burned even more.

Wang Wanru happened to hear the third princess at the banquet in Qingwang's Mansion three days ago, and the emperor received a genuine painting of Yan Xiuzhu on the Wanshou Festival, and he was very happy and enjoyed it repeatedly. The third princess muttered at the time that it would be nice if she could find one as well, and she could dedicate it to the emperor as a sign of filial piety.

Wang Wanru thought that although her own family did not have it, Ji Lanzhou did, so she told the third princess that she had a painting of Yan Xiuzhu's "Ink Bamboo Map". Sure enough, the third princess was very interested and asked her to take the painting into the palace to take a look.

She originally wanted to use this painting to please the third princess, so she might have let her enter the palace as a companion, but she didn't expect that this painting turned out to be a fake.

She tried her best to get along with the third princess, but she was completely ruined by this painting!

Thinking about it, Wang Wanru's teeth chattered.

Ji Lanzhou was sitting on a wooden chessboard, playing chess against the chess game, and when he saw Wang Wanru coming, he put down the chess game in his hand.

She wore a willow-colored embroidered lotus leaf long jacket today, with a water-green pleated skirt, a green silk tied a loose hairpin, and only a green butterfly hairpin between her sideburns, which was elegant and delicate, which made people feel pity when they looked at it.

The two girls, one angry, the other calm as water, form a stark contrast.

"Like cousin, what are you talking about? What fake paintings? Ji Lanzhou's delicate willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked at Wang Wanru suspiciously.

"You're still pretending!" Wang Wanru was even more angry and threw the painting in her hand directly.

"Smack!"

The scroll was rudely thrown on the dotted chessboard, smashing all the black and white pieces on the board and rolling off the smooth bluestone floor......

The scroll unfolded slightly, revealing the corner of the ink bamboo drawn on the paper.

Ji Lanzhou carefully took the painting over, carefully unfolded the drawing paper, raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be a little surprised, "Cousin, this painting is mine, how can it be in your hands?" ”

"......" Wang Wanru was choked up, and the anger in her heart seemed to be poured with cold water, and she calmed down a little.

She took a deep breath, and then said confidently: "Ji Lanzhou, you have lived in my house for a few years, what if I borrow you a painting?!" Besides, what is this mere fake worth! What if I take it?! ”

As soon as it came to the fake, Wang Wanru's fire began to rush up again, and she took a step closer towards Ji Lanzhou, "You are uneasy and kind, and you deliberately hurt me with fakes, you must give me an explanation today!" ”

Wang Wanru's voice became more and more sharp, with a kind of hysterical indignation, her cheeks flushed, and the blue tendons on her neck appeared from time to time.

Her voice also attracted many people in the garden to come over to this side, pointing at the cousins not far away, mostly showing disdain for Ji Lanzhou, feeling that this cousin was really uninteresting, and she didn't know what she had done to make the fifth girl angry. This senders should also have the appearance of sending people under the fence!

Ji Lanzhou rolled up the painting again, and looked at Wang Wanru timidly, a little innocent and a little cowardly, "Like cousin, you didn't tell me, you 'took' the painting, how do I know that you 'took' a fake......

Wang Wanru was stunned for a while, she originally wanted to secretly take the painting, once she gave the painting to the third princess, the wood was already in the boat, Ji Lanzhou couldn't get the painting back from the third princess, she could only eat this loss, and didn't want to ......

Ji Lanzhou stood up with the painting, blessed it, and said, "Like cousin, if you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first." After a pause, she said softly again, "Don't ask yourself...... Not good. Like my cousin, don't do it again in the future. After speaking, Ji Lanzhou walked towards the outside of the flower hall.

If you don't ask, you are a thief.

This sentence naturally appeared in Wang Wanru's mind, burning her brain with a bang, and she lost her mind at once.

This little slut dares to call himself a thief!

"Ji, Lan, Zhou." Wang Wanru stomped her feet and rushed towards Ji Lanzhou, who was facing away from her, and pushed her hands rudely towards the other party......

Who wants to -

At this time, Ji Lanzhou happened to turn around, turned sideways, and avoided it.

Wang Wanru rushed too violently, stepped on a chess piece again, and lost her balance in an instant, staggering and falling forward......

"Five girls!" The sound of the maid being so sharp that it seemed to overturn the roof echoed in the room.

Wang Wanru screamed and fell to the ground, her hair was messy and loose, and she was embarrassed.

The maid hurriedly went to help her, "Fifth girl, are you okay?" ”

Wang Wanru only felt pain all over her body, her knees, elbows, and jaw ...... What hurts even more is her face!

------Off topic------

Let's tell a horror story: today is the last day of the holiday!
