"Did the princess sleep well last night?"

Of course, it is inappropriate for someone else to ask this question, after all, there is a difference between men and women. But the names of the two people have been decided, and Zhao Lei's question is not too polite.

Liu Fang shook her head slightly: "I didn't sleep very well, I had nightmares all night." ”

Zhao Lei raised his head in surprise: "Didn't the princess take some soothing decoction?" ”

"I drank two sips," Liu Fang said softly, "When we were in the countryside before, we also had rebels passing by, and in the middle of the night, we ran out of our house and ran into the mountains to hide, and once, because we didn't have time to enter the mountains, we hid in the cellar, and listened to the rebels enter the village and rummage around the house." Listening to them walking overhead, some of the dust was shaken and fell down, and they didn't even dare to pant out loud for fear of being heard. In the past few years, I have rarely remembered the past, but I had a dream last night, and I have been drilling in and out of the cave, cave, and broken kiln, and I woke up with a sore back. ”

Zhao Lei felt a little distressed when he heard it.

The princess looked like golden branches and jade leaves, but her childhood experience was also bumpy and difficult.

"The princess hasn't ridden for a long time, and after riding for a long time yesterday, it's inevitable that she will have back pain today."

Liu Fang smiled: "I think so, I can't really be tired of drilling holes in my dreams." ”

The tea fruit on the corridor outside had already been arranged, and when the two of them were talking, Liu Yan also asked people to prepare long cases, paints and brushes: "Since you are here, you can help draw a painting before leaving." ”

By this time, the morning fog was almost gone, and the mountain sun was broken by the branches and green leaves, shining on the ground and in the waterholes, and the light and shadow were dappled with light and shadow. In the shallow water, new reed buds and lotus leaves are scattered scattered, and a waterfowl swims far away, leaving a gentle mark on the surface of the water.

Liu Yan and Liu Fang sat on the side to enjoy refreshments, with a faint sweet and sour taste, light red plum tea, with a very crispy and crispy small sesame cake just served, the mountain breeze and the beautiful scenery of the water's edge can be seen at a glance.

Refreshments are not uncommon in the palace, but such good mountains and rivers cannot be seen.

Liu Fang comforted her sister: "Although your foot injury delayed this hunt, we can do it again in the fall." Besides, after returning to the palace, I heard that the teaching workshop found a new book and arranged a play, what is it called......"

She couldn't remember that name after listening to it once, but Zhao Lei was painting next to her and made up for her: "I heard what it's called, right?" ”

"Promotion? What's the story this is telling? ”

Liu Fang said: "I heard a sentence or two, it seems to be a story of a monk who does not learn and has no skills to pretend to be a county official to take office, and then rises step by step. ”

"How can the workshop rehearse such a play? Aren't you afraid of being said to be insinuating or alluding to someone? ”

I remember that there was such a play last time, what is it called Zhuangyuan Ji or something, it is sung about an illiterate pig slaughterer as the champion, but this play is sung once and then stopped singing.

In fact, the person who rehearses the play may not really insinuate anyone, but there are always people who will break down other people's simple sentences and ponder over and over again, thinking that there must be at least ten or eight malicious intentions in it.

Therefore, in the next few years, the teaching workshop will arrange some plays like talented and beautiful women and Song Taiping to perform, after all, no matter how talented and beautiful people toss, it is just a fat incident, and it will not make people who watch the drama feel that they have been plotted again.

Last time, Lu Yi came out of the ......

Liu Yan asked: "By the way, how is Lu Yi's injury?" ”

Zhao Lei didn't raise his head, and his hands didn't stop: "I looked at it when I got up in the morning, the wound was not deep, and I was already about to close it." The trauma medicine given by Imperial Physician Feng is really useful. ”

"That's good, what did he do today?"

"I'm going to the paddock with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." Zhao Lei took a step back and shook his head: "This painting is not good." ”

Liu Yan also wanted to get up, and Gui Yuan hurriedly supported her, for fear that her left foot would hit the ground.

Liu Yan comforted her: "It's okay, I know it in my heart." ”

She moved forward with one foot and looked at the painting that Zhao Lei had just painted.

The water is a shallow blue color, the reed buds near the shore appear particularly green and green, and the vast mountains and forests in the distance are hidden in the fog, which is many times more beautiful than the pictures drawn by Liu Yan in the morning.

"What's wrong? I think it's good. ”

At least that kind of quiet and distant artistic conception, Zhao Lei grasped it and painted it on paper.

Looking at this landscape in the morning, Liu Yan didn't think about anything for a long time, and he didn't move.

It's so quiet, this mountain, this water, it seems that they are still asleep and have not woken up.

Hundreds of years ago, no palace was built in this mountain, and this mountain and this water have been dependent on each other here. Hundreds of years from now, every time morning and dusk alternate, the scenery should be exactly the same as what she sees today.

People, like these birds flying by and streams flowing, are just passers-by in this landscape.

"Take it and hand it over to frame it, I'll take it back to the palace." Liu Yan turned his head and said to Zhao Lei: "Your paintings are better than those old paintings you brought just now." ”

Zhao Lei blushed without praise: "Don't dare, in fact, I'm not good at painting landscapes, in those paintings just now, the painting skill of painting peony is really above me." ”

"I don't see it." Liu Yan said bluntly: "In my opinion, when the painting skills are honed, the aura will be consumed." It's like myself, Mr. Cheng asked me to draw rockery, I painted the first one and felt bad, and then drew the second and third ones. Looking back, it's not as natural as the first one, and the more deliberate the latter is, the more it's not a thing. ”

Zhao Lei was also amused by the truth of the fourth princess: "The princess said yes, or take painting as a career, as time goes by, it is inevitable that the aura will be exhausted, and only a sense of craftsmanship remains. ”

It's not just about drawing, it's about doing everything else. Young people always have a lot of enthusiasm and impulse, but as the years pass, the young people become numb middle-aged, and the middle-aged people become decrepit old people, and finally they all return to dust.

In order to thank Zhao Lei for this painting, Liu Yan left him and the third princess to have lunch in Tulip Island at noon. She ate porridge and side dishes by herself, and watched the two people opposite eat fragrant and spicy food.

After lunch, the guests left, Liu Yan took a nap, and heard a report that the four princes were coming.

The four princes did not come alone, but also Lu Yi.

"I brought you some things, and caught rabbits, fox cubs, and brocade chickens on the mountain, and the long feather was plucked off to make a key and a crown."

"Yes, the chicken can be roasted and eaten!" Liu Yan is now particularly resentful of eating.

The smile of the fourth prince remained unchanged: "The chicken on the mountain is too hard and too woody, and the soup is delicious, and it is not suitable to eat it when it is roasted." ”
