Shui Linglong, the princess of the Water Kingdom, who had been silent for a long time beside Ming Ziling, spoke: "Sister Nianxi! I know what's going on! When Nangong Nianxi heard this, she wondered in her heart, wasn't she with Ziling, what did she mean by speaking at this time? Is it some kind of conspiracy?

I saw her striding down and walking towards the palace maid, who stepped back tremblingly, still holding the wine jug in her hand.

Shui Linglong stepped forward, snatched the wine jug, pointed to the palace maid and said: "The culprit, the person who poisoned her is her, everyone knows that the object of this princess's visit is the Nine Princes, so when Sister Nianxi came in, I have been paying attention, but I saw the strangeness of this palace person, this is called the Zimu pot, which is divided into two grids, and you can press the switch if you want to pour any wine." Princess Ben grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, and this little trick can't hide from Princess Ben's eyes. ”

When the palace maid saw that the matter was revealed, she was about to run away, and the queen opened her mouth and shouted angrily: "Catch her, and dare to spread wild in the place of this palace!" ”

The palace maid was caught like a chicken in the hands of the guards, knelt on the ground, saw that her eyes were full of despair, raised her head and cried: "I did everything I did, why did she leave a card, why was I not born in a big family, I also want to enter the palace to choose a concubine, why can she serve the emperor......" The righteous and awe-inspiring shouted after, as if she had finished explaining her last words, and then fell to the side.

The guards behind hurriedly stepped forward, probed their snorts, and then spoke: "Back to the queen's mother, the person has already committed suicide by taking poison." ”

Ning Yuxin looked at her daughter with her eyes, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and her demeanor was calm, and said, "Carry it down!" Looking at this situation, the next draft time, or don't hold it with the birthday, how unlucky! Nostalgia! Every year, some women do these stupid things, and now the truth is revealed, I really wronged you just now. ”

Nangong Nianxi saw that the queen was going to deal with it like this, and she didn't dig into it, she knew that this matter was not that simple at all, it must be that Ming Ziling and Zhang Xiaowan were colluding to make a fool of herself in front of the public, and she would not be able to raise her head in front of people in the future. But by mistake, she drank poisonous wine, and it was very effective ~ poisonous. The smart queen is afraid of deep investigation and finds out about her daughter, and wants to suppress the matter like this.

Nangong Nianxi pondered for a moment without words, and Ning Yuxin hurriedly changed the topic and said, "That's right! I've just painted all the paintings of the past, so let's all watch them! ”

Nangong Nianxi adjusted her mentality, thinking that there was no justice in this palace, and she only studied it deeply, but she thought about it behind closed doors again, since she had nothing to lose, and it was Concubine Mei who interceded for herself, so she dealt with it in a big way.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "I remember the past and offered ugliness." ”

The palace people presented the painting and handed it to the queen and Concubine Mei, the queen's brows furrowed slightly, and Nangong Nianxi's painting was the head of Concubine Mei.

I saw that she had a green silk coil beaded green, sideburns obliquely inserted hosta, her face was like a peach and plum, her willow eyebrows were curved, her apricot eyes were spring, her nose was like a hanging gall, she was coquettish, her two earrings were pendant, and her eight treasure rings were really delicate and charming.

Concubine Mei said happily: "Remembering the past! Isn't your painting of me too beautiful, I think I'm old, not as beautiful as you painted! ”

"Concubine Mei is still charming, and her style has not diminished back then, how can she be old?"

"But the past! This is just a portrait, how can it be better than Miss Zhang's portrait. ”

The ladies present also looked at Nangong Nianxi suspiciously, and Nangong Nianxi said unhurriedly: "Concubine Mei! Do you turn the portrait upside down? ”

Concubine Mei turned the portrait upside down according to what she said, and suddenly there was a burst of surprise, and she took the portrait and said excitedly: "Remembering the past!" Remembering the past! It's so similar, so similar, it's exactly the same, and I wouldn't know what I looked like when I was a girl without your portrait, and I deserved it. ”

Ning Yuxin was also stunned when she looked at it, and said secretly: "When did this girl have such a talent, no wonder Duan'er still misses her, if there is no previous divorce, then a smart woman like her must be Duan'er's help, and now it's too late to say anything, let that fool pick up a bargain." ”

Thinking of this, he laughed softly: "Remembering the past! Your stunt is really unmatched, this portrait of the young girl of Concubine Mei's sister is simply a god, but what this palace doesn't understand is that the appearance of my sister when she was a girl, this palace is blurred, I don't know how you can draw the portrait of this teenager? ”

Concubine Mei asked the palace people to circle the portrait and show it to the ladies and ladies. The contrast between the front and back made the people below look at her with appreciation.

Concubine Mei also stared at her curiously and said, "I also want to know, how did you draw it?" ”

Nangong Nianxi explained: "Go back to the queen and Concubine Mei!" It's very simple, I read a medical book before, which records the facial bones of people, such as frontal bones, cheekbones, upper and lower jaws, which can determine the shape of our people's front and side faces, and the nasal bones can determine the size and shape of the nose. I just divided the proportions well, and I restored the appearance of Concubine Mei when she was young, and the painting was not good, and I hope that Concubine Mei will not be surprised. ”

"Very good, very good! Nian Xi painted my girlhood really vividly, Nian Xi gave this picture to this concubine, okay? ”

"If Concubine Mei likes it, give this painting to her mother! In the past, the painting was not good, and he was just self-taught, and he didn't draw the mother's clear and thorough, delicate girlish charm! ”

"No, no! It's already good! This concubine will treasure it. ”

Nangong Nianxi silently returned to her seat, a draft turmoil passed, Nangong Nianxi said in her heart: "Regardless of whether Zhang Xiaowan is innocent after detoxification, her road to the palace has been completely smashed, which is called lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot, if there is no toast, maybe her future will be bright, now she only resents the person who gives her advice, and it will be difficult for her to turn over in this life." ”

When the luncheon time came, the queen entertained the ladies in the harem, and after the meal, it was free time, and the families of the ministers congratulated the emperor and then returned to the house. Only the families of the important officials of the imperial court also attended the dinner, so everyone's destination was the Imperial Garden. Nangong Nianxi was finally able to come out to breathe.

Lin Yuehua accompanied Nangong Nianxi to stroll in the imperial garden in April, peach, plum, begonia, lilac peony is the season of blooming flowers, the area of the imperial garden is very large, at a glance, there are ancient cypress and old acacia and strange flowers and plants, as well as the pavilions and rockeries dotted around, as well as criss-crossing stone roads, the whole garden seems to be quaint and quiet, and does not lose the palace atmosphere.

Today is the big day of the emperor's birthday, the people in the imperial garden are watching the scenery, and the men are also after the luncheon, and they come here to see the scenery in their spare time.

Nangong Nianxi and Lin Yuehua found a pavilion where no one sat down, and Nangong Nianxi spoke: "Aunt Lin, thank you for interceding for me today. ”

"We are a family, what are we talking about, besides, if it weren't for my carelessness, how could I make you so sad...... Don't talk about it, and you're sad again. ”

Nangong Nianxi looked at her and said sincerely: "Aunt Lin! Since you said that we are a family, don't mention it again, it's not your fault. And Aunt Lin, don't stand up for me next time, you have to always remember that you are behind the Prime Minister's Mansion, and whenever you do things and speak, you have to consider whether it will affect the Prime Minister's Mansion. I know you mean well, but you have to trust me, I have the power to protect myself, okay? ”

"Remembering the past" I was in a hurry, and I really didn't take this layer into account, I remembered, you can rest assured that I will guard the Prime Minister's Mansion for you, guard the master, and guard our home. ”

"Hmmm! Aunt Lin! I'm relieved to have you at home! ”

"Remembering the past! What are you bothering about? When Nangong Nianxi heard this familiar voice, he hurriedly said: "Xuan! How is this a fool's errand? That's my maiden home! ”

After speaking, he looked up and stood up,I saw Ming Haoxuan and his father,Ming Haojie was followed by him。

Nangong Nianxi took Nangong Wen's hand and said, "Dad! You don't know, today Aunt Lin is majestic, and she is fighting for her daughter in the main hall. ”

"Hmmm! Dad has heard about it, your Aunt Lin is doing well, you don't know, she is thinking about how to make up for you these days, since the incident, she has not eaten well and slept well, and she has not dared to look at you, her mouth is full of fire bubbles, today she can be regarded as making up for you, and she can finally sleep with peace of mind. ”

"Sir! How do you say this in front of your child. Lin Yuehua was embarrassed and lowered her head and said.

"You've said it all! The child is not an outsider, you have to remember that it is not that you should pay attention to the Prime Minister's Mansion when you talk and do things, but that you will always be your backer, and your mother's family, even if this prince and son-in-law bully you. ”

"Daddy! Thank you! Ming Haoxuan walked to Nangong Nianxi's side and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry! Usually only Xi'er bullied me, am I the one who is angry? ”

"Ming Hao Duan Xuan! This is my family, you sued the wrong person, besides, did I bully you? ”

Nangong Nianxi pretended to be angry and angry, and Ming Haoxuan retorted: "It's bullying me, father-in-law, you see, how fierce she is." ”

Nangong Wen and Lin Yuehua looked at each other and smiled: "Okay! We two old guys don't bother you flirting! Let's go see your second aunt, I don't know where she went! ”

"Hmmm! Daddy go! In a few days, my daughter will come home to see you! ”

The two nodded slightly,Walking out of the pavilion together,Nangong Nianxi turned around,Looking at Ming Haojie and said:"Who is the tenth brother looking for,There is no one you are looking for by me?" ”

"The Nine Emperor Sister-in-law really wronged me, I heard that you painted a portrait of your mother, and I came to thank you."

"Concubine Mei has already thanked her just now, so is there anything else you want to say?"

"The Nine Emperor Sister-in-law is really smart, she saw through my thoughts at a glance, I just came to ask the Nine Emperor Sister-in-law to draw me a double-sided painting, I'm really curious, what will it look like when I'm old?"

"I remember that a few days ago, I also told people that curiosity kills cats, if you see your old appearance, old and ugly, you won't be sad and sad, so do you still want to paint?"

Ming Haojie hesitated for a moment and said:"Draw! ”

Nangong Nianxi looked at him and made up his mind, nodded and said, "Okay!" Tomorrow you will come and pick it up. ”

"Then I'll take a look elsewhere and don't disturb Brother Jiu to talk about love." After saying that, he grimaced and hurried out of the gazebo.
