Chapter 532: Painting
As Hua Xiaoyi spoke, she took out a piece of paper from her arms, a pen, and some ink in a small box.
Seeing that she had brought so many things, An Lan was instantly amused by her.
"You girl is so cute, you have all these things, can I still say I won't go?"
"In that case, let's go." Hua Xiaoyi happily grabbed An Lan's hand and walked with her in the direction of the bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest is in the northernmost corner of the palace, which is quite remote and cold, and if you want to go to the bamboo forest, you must first pass through a cold palace.
Because of this, many people in the palace will not go to the bamboo forest, including the emperor. Since ascending the throne, he has never been to the bamboo forest once.
After walking forward for nearly half an hour, he did not arrive, but at this time he heard a cry and some women yelling.
"If my guess is correct, this should be the palace of the secluded concubine of the palace." An Lan frowned, feeling a little helpless.
The Qingleng Palace where she lives now used to be a place where concubines who made mistakes were imprisoned. It's not a particularly remote place, and I don't know how much better it is compared to here.
The palace here is in disrepair, and everywhere is full of dilapidated atmosphere, and it is all covered with black cloth. The walls were about two feet taller than the rest of the place, and it was impossible for anyone to escape from them.
"This is indeed a famous cold palace in the palace, and it is also the place where many palace maids die of old age, and many people have never seen the shadow of the emperor in their lives. And there is no chance to leave the palace at all, this place is the end of their lives, and they are really pitiful. ”
Hua Xiaoyi's eyes were red, and she began to be compassionate at this time. Looking at her appearance, An Lan was touched in her heart, and couldn't help but be in awe of Hua Xiaoyi.
"I didn't expect you to feel so much, it's really different from other women." At this moment, An Lan's gaze at her became very different.
"I'm no different from other women, I'm just a mortal, I just sympathize with these people. We are all women, but our fates are very different. ”
A few words of emotion here, Hua Xiaoyi left from here, An Lan followed her to the direction of the bamboo forest, and the two of them found a large stone slab.
Hua Xiaoyi put the paper on it and began to pick up the pen and draw the beautiful scenery in the bamboo forest. And An Lan stood in the distance, slowly admiring all the features of the bamboo forest.
This bamboo forest is quite different from ordinary bamboo forests, especially the layout, which makes people feel like they are in a fairyland. In particular, the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo forest is more like a beautiful piece of music brushing in my ears.
When An Lan was enjoying this beautiful scenery, Hua Xiaoyi had already painted a picture and sent it to An Lan.
"Why don't you help me see if there is anything missing in this painting, I always feel that I owe something to the shortcomings......" Hua Xiaoyi grabbed her hair, she was very satisfied with this painting, but as for the shortcomings, she couldn't say anything for a while.
An Lan took it and looked at it a few times, and by the way, he took a pen and wrote a few neat words on it.
Seeing An Lan's writing, Hua Xiaoyi's eyes lit up.
"Now with your words, it looks much more pleasing to the eye, and it's really ingenious. Your handwriting is so beautiful, I'm too far behind you. It's better to have time to teach me how to practice words, I see your words dragon flying phoenix dance, unique, different from the general grass, soft but full of strength......"
Hua Xiaoyi knows how to do it very well. An Lan's favorite thing to do on weekdays is to practice calligraphy, and when she praised her, she couldn't contain her excitement.
While discussing calligraphy, the two began to write. An Lan wrote a poem, Hua Xiaoyi was full of appreciation, Hua Xiaoyi also wrote a poem, and the two exchanged and discussed with each other.
At this moment, there was a coughing sound.
"Who?" An Lan was startled, and immediately looked to the side, but did not find anyone there.
They had heard a cough just now, which proved that there was definitely someone here.
Hua Xiaoyi was so frightened that she grabbed An Lan's wrist, her body began to tremble, and she couldn't stop looking left and right.
"It's not haunted, is it? I heard that a palace maid once ran out and hanged herself here...... "Although Hua Xiaoyi is talented, her courage is not a little small.
An Lan was amused by her words, and couldn't help but pat her hand and give her courage.
Just then, there was another noise behind them. The moment I turned around, I found that it was a man, his face was like a crown of jade, especially the feeling of condensation of skin, he was really a little better than a woman.
"Who are you? Why is it here? An Lan had a cold face, even though he was good-looking, he didn't have much affection for him because of this.
"I should ask the two girls this sentence, right? You don't look like a palace maid in the palace, why are you in this place? If anyone else knows, they will hold you accountable. He squinted his eyes and looked like he wasn't smiling, deliberately intimidating the two of them.
An Lan snorted coldly, not taking him to heart, now knowing that he is a human and not a ghost, he is not so afraid.
"It's none of your business, haven't you come to this forbidden place too?" Hua Xiaoyi didn't take it seriously.
The man laughed happily, took a few steps towards them, and then bent down slightly.
"Since we met, it was a kind of fate, why don't I be friends with the two young ladies? In the lower Min king. ”
He looked at An Lan and Hua Xiaoyi gently, hoping that they would introduce themselves.
An Lan and Hua Xiaoyi glanced at each other, neither of them wanted to reveal their names to the man.
"We still have some things that need to be taken first, and we will leave our names if we come to Japan." Dropping such a sentence, An Lan and Hua Xiaoyi left in a hurry.
Seeing the direction they were leaving, the man grabbed his hair and fiddled with it. Thinking of everything just now, the corners of his lips pulled a big arc.
An Lan and Hua Xiaoyi quickly returned to the Qingleng Palace and went back to the room directly, thinking of the scene just now, An Lan was terrified.
"Anlan, why are you so afraid? We didn't do anything rude. Hua Xiaoyi asked in confusion.
In her mind, this was just an ordinary meeting.
An Lan naturally knew the way to survive in the palace, and a bleak smile crossed the corner of his lips.
"You may not be in and out of the palace very often, and you don't know much about it. Since he calls himself the King of Fujian, it proves that he must be the emperor's son, and we are the princess's companion, so we have to avoid suspicion to save others from saying that we are charming and seductive. ”
An Lan was thoughtful, and after listening to An Lan's explanation, Hua Xiaoyi understood what it meant.
"That's right, I forgot about it, but it's good that you reminded me, otherwise I would have told the truth." Hua Xiaoyi said with an open heart.
