Chapter Seventy-Eight: Painting
The General's Mansion of the Pingyue Kingdom.
After Su Yinyin's injuries healed, without waiting to discuss with Su Yi, he left the General's Mansion with one person, one sword and one horse, and walked for ten days, until he was injured again, and then came back honestly.
Her horse knew the way home, so even if its owner was wounded and lay half-dead on its back, and no one gave it directions, it was able to carry it back smoothly and safely.
It just so happened that Su Yi had never gone out in the house, and when she heard that she had come back from a serious injury, she felt sorry for her but was helpless: Su Yinyin was cold and stubborn, and she usually didn't take the initiative to talk to him, and he couldn't persuade her to decide anything she decided by herself.
As soon as Su Yinyin was picked up from the horse, Su Yi saw that the horse raised its front hooves to him as if it was extremely irritable, and at the same time let out a loud jet sound from its nostrils, and then turned its horse face, as if it was extremely unwilling to see Su Yi's appearance.
This cold and arrogant look looks like its master.
However, Su Yi was a little upset, Su Yinyin was raised by him, but the little girl grew up but was not happy to be close to him, so forget it, the girl on the left and right will not be able to keep it sooner or later when she grows up. But who knew that the horses he raised with his own hands began to stop seeing him? Can this ungrateful "white-eyed wolf" style also follow the master?
The heart is congested, the horse still has to be fed well, and Su Yinyin still has to hire a doctor to treat the injury and order someone to take good care of it.
This time, Su Yinyin woke up quickly, and as soon as the doctor left, she opened her eyes immediately and stared at Su Yi who was standing beside her bed.
"How?" Su Yi also looked at her.
Su Yinyin stared at him for a long time before retracting her gaze and looking away, her eyes were blank and a little hollow, and it seemed that she would rather be in a daze than talk to him.
And Su Yi didn't have the patience to coax her, in fact, he had never been patient with her, or never with anyone, but only for the seventh princess of the Red Maple Country, Liangyue. Therefore, when he saw that she was awake, he was also relieved, as if to comfort and warn: "Since you are awake, then you can recuperate your injuries in the house, and when the injuries are healed, I will ask you to teach you a lesson, you can study hard in the house, and you don't have to go anywhere." ”
Relying on her own martial arts, she held a sword all day long to walk the rivers and lakes and do chivalrous righteousness, did she think she was the chosen one to support justice? It seems that he has indulged her too much, and it is not too late to stop the loss in time.
Su Yinyin was anxious when she heard this, she didn't even care about the pain of the wound on her body, and stared at him with incredibly big eyes: "Why are you restricting my freedom?" I don't want you to make decisions for me, and I won't follow any teachings to learn the rules of etiquette, anyway, I don't! ”
Su Yi just turned around to leave, and when he heard this, although he paused, he didn't turn to look at her, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think I'm discussing with you?" This is just to tell you in advance, until then, give me a good recovery. ”
When he walked to the door, he stopped again, glanced back at her, and reminded: "I specially sent Ah Chen to protect you in secret, so don't think about sneaking out again." ”
With that, he lifted his feet and walked out.
Leaving Su Yinyin gritted his teeth angrily, he pounded the bed to a clattering sound, as if he regarded the bed as Su Yi, and wanted to beat him up to relieve his anger.
Until the evening, Su Yi never came out again after entering the study, Qingzhu went in and lit the lamp, accidentally glanced at the unfinished painting of Su Yi on the table, and couldn't help but glance at his general in surprise: The general has always hated those labor-intensive and delicate work, but when did he change his temperament and start grinding ink and painting?
I saw that there was a lake, a boat, and a lotus in the painting, a boatman was swinging his oars at the stern, a young man was sitting on the bow of the boat, and next to him was a girl lying on his back, holding a picture of a beautiful woman. But the only fly in the ointment is that the boy and the girl in the painting have no faces.
"How about you look at my painting?" Su Yi polished the ink, and when he saw Qingzhu's stupid and surprised look, he asked him, "Isn't it good-looking?" ”
Qingzhu hurriedly shook his head: "Where can it be, the painting drawn by the general himself is naturally good-looking, but ...... But what makes Qingzhu puzzled is, why do the men and women in this painting have no faces? The general hasn't finished painting yet? ”
You can see the traces of pen and ink on the paper, this painting should have been painted for a while, and the pen and ink are almost dry. So Qingzhu looked at it carefully, and he felt even more curious.
Su Yi listened to his words, only smiled, and then said softly: "I just don't know how to draw." The scene of the day of the lake still appeared in his mind from time to time, and even the person's smile, and even her slight frowning or slightly sad expression, jumped vividly in his mind, but when he lifted the pen, he found that he couldn't draw anything.
After much hesitation, he gave up and decided not to embarrass himself anymore.
So the faces of the people in this painting, except for the boatman, were blank.
Qingzhu looked at his general's distressed look, and suddenly felt blessed in his heart: "General, isn't the seventh princess what you painted?" ”
Thinking was easily guessed, Su Yi coughed lightly, and began to drive people away: "It's none of your business here, go down." ”
Qingzhu is a ghost clever, so he is even more sure at a glance, he guessed right!
But he didn't dare to continue, because looking at his own general like this, it was obviously bitter lovesickness, and it was still unrequited love. What if I accidentally say too much and make the general angry?
So Qingzhu immediately changed his dog-legged tone and asked, "General, when are you going to eat?" ”
"No appetite, don't prepare for me." Su Yi said, "Go and tell Ah Chen, tell him to stare at Yinyin and eat all the medicine and rice, if Yinyin is on a hunger strike, I will only ask." ”
Qingzhu immediately responded, went out in a hurry, closed the door of the study, and then pretended to be old, pretending to sigh and shook his head, thinking that Ah Chenmo had offended the general?
A few days later, the Imperial Palace of the Red Maple Kingdom.
The six elder brothers on Liangyue have all married and started a family, the eldest brother is the prince, who has his own prince's mansion, and the rest of the brothers also have their own mansions, although they are all very close to the palace, but they are not as good as Liangyue.
No way, Liangyue is the only daughter of the emperor, and the youngest child, because of the six sons in front of him, when Liangyue was born, the emperor and the queen were very happy, and regarded Liangyue as the treasure in the palm of their hearts, not only preferenced, but the emperor also specially issued an edict: Just this little princess, give me a favor! Pet hard!!
Even if Liangyue is now grown up, she did not move out of the palace to live in her princess's mansion, but was left by the emperor and queen and built a separate palace for her, and even the emperor said that even if she recruited a horse in the future, she could continue to live in the palace, and she didn't have to move out to live like her six brothers.
This favor makes Liangyue both happy and painful, happy that the father and mother are by her side, and the pain is precisely that they are by her side, and they can look at themselves all the time, and she is so fun-loving, it is difficult to sneak out of the sky.
Especially after she and Liang Zhun came back from Pingyue Kingdom, I don't know what Liang Zhun said to her father, anyway, since she came back, her father has explicitly forbidden her to sneak out to play again, and she will be punished once she runs.
Of course, the emperor was reluctant to punish her, so Ah Duo, who was close to her, was unlucky enough to become a "hostage" used by the emperor to threaten and control Liangyue. As long as Liang Yue runs out once, Ah Duo will be punished for her once.
Although Liang Yue dreamed of running out to breathe fresh air, she was reluctant to suffer for her, so she could only stay in the palace sullenly every day, and by the way, she had to greet Liang Zhun thousands of times every day for the one who killed a thousand knives.
"Alas......"
Sad history repeats itself, Liang Yue greeted Liang Zhun after greeting, but there was nothing to do, so he could only squat on the lake with his cheeks to watch the fish, sighing and wondering to himself: "Strange, why do the fish in this lake look less and less?" Could it be that a cat came in and stole food? While thinking like this, he took the fish food and sprinkled it into the lake, grabbing a handful, very generous.
was feeding the fish, Ah Duo came out from behind her coldly, and when she saw that she was feeding the fish again, she called out directly: "Oh, my good princess, why are you feeding the fish again?" ”
Liang Yue said sullenly: "It's not that I'm idle and have nothing to do." After a pause, he raised his doubts and asked Ah Duo, "Come over and take a look, is there a little less fish in this lake?" I remember that a few days ago there were not so few, did a cat come to steal food? ”
Ah Duo choked for a moment, and couldn't help but say in a quiet tone: "Princess...... Don't you know the fish you fed yourself? In the past, the palace people fed it twice a day, and the amount of feeding was strictly according to the standard. But you can be fed four or five times in the morning, a feed is a full pot of fish food, those fish are crazy, but they turned around and died, last night I saw that the palace people also fished out several white belly out, but I was afraid that you would be sad, so I didn't tell you. It's okay now, and I'm sure I'll be killed again later. ”
Listening to Ah Duo's words, Liang Yue was a little stunned, and then reacted, and said in surprise: "It turns out that they were killed by me, so there are fewer and fewer of them?" Didn't the cat steal it? Then he despised those fish, "These fish are also stupid, they are not more productive than me, and they can't eat enough when they see it, no wonder they will eat it." It's not promising, it's really unproductive. ”
The stupid fish in Liangyue's mouth are still wagging their tails happily in the lake, competing for those fish food to eat.
Ah Duo has nothing more to say.
But at this time, a little palace maid came over and handed over a letter respectfully. "Princess, this is a letter sent to you by General Pingyue, and Your Majesty asked you to send it directly to you."
"Su Yi?" Liang Yue quickly reacted, and hurriedly stuffed the fish food bowl in her hand to Ah Duo, and wiped her hands on her body, then took the letter from the palace maid's hand and opened it with a happy face.
However, the envelope contained not a letter written by him, but a painting.
