Chapter 17: The Life Story of the Painting

"Side concubine, side concubine...... You wake up......"

Her groggy consciousness gradually became clear, she opened her eyes and looked at the veil on the top of the bed, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Back to the side concubine, it's time."

"Well, got it, wait for me to change my clothes."

She remembered that a month ago, she had become Chu Lianruo, no longer the abolished queen Qin Zhaoxi, and she would one day avenge herself and her family.

After Chu Lianruo had breakfast, she ordered someone to sort out her daily clothes, and ordered Siwei to write a letter according to what she said. Siwei was originally the daughter of a poor Xiucai family, she could read and write, and she was a little arrogant, but she was not reused in the Cenzhou Governor's Mansion, otherwise she would not be a dowry maid for this original body.

Chu Lianruo glanced at the letter, saw that the handwriting was neat and delicate, and was satisfied, put it in the envelope and found someone to send it to the Governor's Mansion of Cen Prefecture quickly.

She asked the prince to go back to her parents' house to live for a few days yesterday, in Dahuai Country there is a custom of asking her husband to accompany her husband back to her parents' house on the third day of marriage, if Chu Lian was given marriage by the emperor, but it was only a side concubine, and Cen Zhou was far away, so this step was saved. And newlyweds can go back to their parents' house to live once a month, so it is really reasonable for her to make this request.

King Ling didn't embarrass her, and readily agreed. At that time, King Ling was sitting behind Mingyi Xuan's desk, leaning on the back of the chair, holding the jade pendant on his waist in his hand and playing with it, quite leisurely, "The side concubine is homesick, but this king has something important to do and can't accompany him." However, the king's ship has been idle for a long time, so let Xieyang escort the concubine back by water. ”

Chu Lianruo thanked King Ling, but in her heart she felt that his words had saved her a lot of effort, because she went to Cen Zhou for another purpose, if King Ling accompanied her, some things would be difficult to do. And what this notoriously idle prince is busy with is not what she cares about.

On the side table was a white porcelain vase, in which were a few peonies that the maid had picked up from the garden this morning, and when she came back to her senses, the peony had been ravaged by her and was a little miserable, so she withdrew her hand and called the maid to replace it.

The maid just removed the flowers, and someone else reported that they came to the painting to ask for peace, and in this month, they always came to ask for peace every once in a while, and they were not limited to the hour, Chu Lianruo naturally didn't care about these, but it was naturally not good to see people when they came, and besides, this person didn't hate it.

Chu Lianruo said, "Let her in." The maid took the order and went out, and after a while, the purple-clothed girl walked in, and when she saw Chu Lianruo, she smiled and said, "What kind of enmity does the side concubine have with that peony, and she has ravaged the delicate flowers so miserably." ”

Chu Lianruo didn't answer, but thought of something, hooked her lips and said, "When I saw you talking about peony, I actually remembered the time you smiled by the Mirror Lake Pavilion. ”

Entering the painting sat on the chair placed by the maid, and when she heard this, she smiled and bent her eyes, "I will be regarded as Concubine Chu praising me." ”

Chu Lianruo lowered her eyes and sighed, "Don't talk about it, I'm really a little curious about this." ”

After thinking about it, he said, "Actually, it's nothing, when you enter the painting, you come from a drama troupe, so you naturally have to interpret each role superbly, otherwise you won't have anything to eat, how miserable it is." ”

Chu Lianruo nodded, "I see." ”

He immediately said, "So I like to eat very much now, and I can't walk when I see delicious food." ”

Is this the result of being punished miserably since childhood, Chu Lianruo thought to herself, but said in her mouth, "I made some snacks here, since you love to eat so much, you can bring some back." ”
