Chapter 11: Sweet Leisure
"You draw orchids!" Gui Yi thought about it, and then asked him, "What do you like?" ”
Bai Jin thought for a moment and shook his head, "You can just draw whatever you want." ”
Guiyi picked up the pen and thought about it seriously before starting to write.
The vigorous branches and pink flowers all emerged in her pen.
"The girl's painting skills are extraordinary, but a picture of a cold plum makes the girl draw a little bit of spring vitality." I don't know when I have finished the painting, Bai Zhen can't help but praise her painting.
Gui Yi put down the pen and carefully handed him the lamp, "Although the fragrance of plum blossoms is clear and distant, the fragrance carries the breath of spring flowers and the vitality of spring, and people can have a good expectation when they smell it." ”
"Wonderful expectations?"
Bai Jin's heart was complicated, but he still took it with a smile, "Thank you, I like it very much!" ”
No matter what kind of person you are, you always expect good things!
"Your orchids are so well drawn! Quiet and elegant, but not diminishing the wind bones, it is really a good painting! It's a pity! Gui Yi took the lantern he had already painted and stared intently at the orchid pattern on it.
His Royal Highness's painting skills are superb, and Gui Yi has known it for a long time, but she didn't expect that one day she would be able to get the paintings he made himself.
"What a pity?"
Gui Yi reluctantly looked at the lantern in his hand, "It's a pity that such a good painting is painted on the lantern, and it will be put in the lake when it gets dark for a while, isn't it a pity?" ”
The regret on her face was not fake, Bai Jin did not expect that the painting she made casually was so cherished.
It was a very special experience for him.
"Nothing! If the girl doesn't dislike me, will I draw another picture for you? ”
Bai Jin looked at her with a smile like a spring wind, and smiled so captivatingly, Gui Yi was stunned immediately. There seemed to be a warm current surging in her heart, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
At this moment, she clearly realized that she was no longer a dispensable passer-by in the eyes of the Great Hall of her previous life. is no longer the slave who has a humble status and can only watch him from afar.
"Girl, Miss Moyi! What happened to you? ”
Gui Yi came back to his senses and smiled at him, "It's okay, I was just thinking, you have already painted orchids, why don't you paint me!" “
Guiyi seemed to have figured out something, no longer as cautious as before, and began to climb up the pole with the courage.
Facing her expectant eyes, Bai Jin found that he couldn't bear to refuse, "Okay." “
Gui Yi saw that he began to lay out paper and take pens, and he also consciously stood next to him to polish the ink for him, while still putting forward a request in his mouth.
"Although I am not good-looking, you must try to make me look as good as possible!"
Listening to the words of this little daughter, Bai Jin's expression softened a little, "Okay." “
"The girl is naturally beautiful, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to draw the charm of the girl."
Guiyi blinked, looked at the person who had already started writing, and was stunned for a long time before he realized what he meant.
Is he losing his good looks? If he doesn't think it's good-looking, it's because he doesn't draw it well, not because she doesn't look good?
Gui Yi came to her senses when she was happy, although she was quite good-looking, she was only a beautiful woman with good facial features. His Highness thinks she looks good now, and that's because he hasn't seen Liuxi yet.
Speaking of Liuxi, Guiyi also had to envy her. That's a real natural beauty, and the appearance is stunning. Coupled with her simple temperament and clear and innocent eyes, even a woman will feel pity when she sees it, let alone a man!
Gui Yi thought about his thoughts, and did not say anything more, and the ship suddenly fell silent. For a while, there was only the sound of graphite and inkstone rubbing on the boat, and the subtle rustle of pen and paper touching.
Bai Jin's afterglow saw a woman who was burying her head in grinding all kinds of ink, although neither of them spoke, it was very quiet. But this kind of quietness is not the same as the loneliness of living alone in the water hall all year round.
After a while, Gui Yi saw him stop writing, and hurriedly stretched out his head to look, "Is the painting finished?" “
"Hmm." Bai Jin turned the painting to her, "Girl, look at it, do you still like it?" “
Gui Yi looked incredulous, and only after a while did he take his eyes off the painting and look at Bai Jin, "I like it!" Of course I do! I just didn't expect you to paint me so beautifully! “
This is the first time they saw each other in this life.
In the Orchid Valley under the Water Palace, a woman in yellow stood with a smile in the orchid bush, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on her, making her whole person look warmer, and making this quiet orchid valley also dyed with the smell of sunshine.
Gui Yi carefully put away the painting, raised his head and looked at Bai Jin, "It's almost time now, let's go to the island in the middle of the lake now, we can put the lanterns in a while, I must occupy a good position." “
"Good!"
When they landed on the island in the middle of the lake, there were already quite a few people on the island.
Gui Yi looked at so many people, a little anxious, reached out and pulled his sleeve and squeezed forward.
Bai Jin didn't react for a while, and let her pull her to a place with a wide view on the edge of the island in the middle of the lake.
"What do you think of this place, how about we put lanterns here?"
Bai Jin looked at the sleeves of her shirt that were pulled by her and were already a little wrinkled, but he did not resist as before, nor did he break free of her hand.
"It's very nice here, there are these small islands, and the lanterns must look good on the water."
Gui Yi was also very satisfied when he saw the two sandbars in the water, with lush vegetation on them.
As the sky gets darker, lanterns begin to float on the lake.
Gui Yi also lit up the lanterns of himself and Bai Jin, and handed Bai Jin a lantern, "Have you thought about what you want to make?" As soon as the lamp is put into the water, you have to make a wish. “
Bai Jin looked at the lamp and paused, looking at the plum blossom lamp in his hand, "Everything is fine now, it seems that there is nothing to pray to the gods." “
Guiyi opened his mouth, but said nothing.
What can she say, although His Royal Highness's situation in the royal court at this time is not good, he is still gentle and kind, and has no desires. Gui Yi believes that what he said is true.
She smiled at him and said, "People really shouldn't be too greedy. “
She thought for a long time before putting her lantern into the water and praying, "May Baijin be healthy and happy in this life!" “
Bai Jinli left the words, and the eyes that looked at her changed, "Why don't you pray for yourself?" “
"I'm doing well. Hurry up and make a wish, or my lamp will drift away. Gui Yi replied, and hurriedly urged him.
Bai Jing put down the lantern as he said and silently made a wish.
Gui Yi looked at this white-clothed figure and said in his heart: This is what I want in this life.
The two stood at the water's edge, watching the lanterns drift farther and farther away, and watching the more and more lanterns on the lake......
