It rained last night, and there was cool water everywhere, the blue sky was transparent like a good glass emerald, and the Shuangjing Bridge was not far from her palace, so Su Ying did not take a sedan chair, and the palace ladies followed behind with a degree of application, and walked slowly through the flowers and willows all the way.

"Have you ever heard that the painter who came to paint the portrait of the Queen Mother this time is named Ye Jingzhi, this name is really... It's so romantic. Yun Luo blushed, and whispered expectantly: "If you want to come to this Ye painter, you must be very dignified." ”

Su Ying disagreed: "Yunluo, you also know that painting is an elegant industry, no matter how such a person looks, he must always have a romantic name." Do you remember the name of the gentleman who painted for me? Shen said lightly, this name sounds very chic. ”

Yun Luo thought of the painter Shen with swallow jaws and tiger whiskers and leopard head and eyes, and was very disappointed: "I heard that this Ye painter is Mr. Shen's closed disciple, will it be ......?"

"It doesn't matter what he looks like, just finish it early." She was first named the queen mother, according to the practice in the palace, she had to be favored by the Qin Tianjian on the auspicious day, and Danqing Pavilion sent a painter to paint a portrait of her. Portrait is a difficult thing, and it is not easy to be painted, four years ago, she sat motionless on the viewing platform for several hours, and the taste was really uncomfortable, but fortunately, Shen Painter knew many interesting stories, and it was not too difficult to draw while telling them.

From a distance, I saw the red fence bow cave, like a long bridge lying on the waves, and when I got closer, I saw a man in a painter's uniform kneeling in the covered bridge, the palace ladies were waiting outside the bridge cave, Yun Luo helped her to walk in front of the man, and the man slowly raised his head: "Xiaguan Ye Jingzhi, please say hello to the Queen Mother." ”

It's a very fair and handsome face, and the voice is warm and good, really like a person who came out of a book. Su Ying obviously felt Yun Luo's hand tightly gripping her sleeve, so she gently patted the back of her hand, who knew that Yun Luo was stupid, but she didn't notice it at all, but clenched it tighter.

Alas, Yun Luo has seen too few handsome men, and she thought depressedly, this Mr. Ye is actually just very good-looking. Fake cough, and smiled at Ye Jingzhi: "I heard that Mr. Ye is Mr. Shen's proud disciple?" Hey, it's so obvious, it looks the same just by looking at it! ”

The corners of Ye Jingzhi's mouth twitched: "Queen Mother..."

"The mourners are joking."

He was stunned, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Please take a seat for the Queen Mother, and the lower official will paint for you." ”

It was about that Ye Jingzhi's smile was too powerful, Yun Luo finally came back to her senses, her face was still red, Su Ying made a grimace at her, tried to sit comfortably, and said: "Don't kneel, it's tiring to paint like this, Mr. Shen used to sit when he painted a portrait for me." After Ye Jingzhi sat down, he asked again: "Do you know how to tell stories?" In the past, Mr. Shen would tell me the story of the Sword Immortal, would you? ”

Ye Jingzhi dipped his ink and wanted to put pen to paper, and when he heard the words, he said: "Xia Guan can't tell the story of the Sword Immortal, but he also knows some miscellaneous conversations, is the Queen Mother willing to hear it?" Seeing that Su Ying nodded hurriedly, he calmly put down a stroke and said: "Legend of the southerners, a long time ago, there was a strange woman named Ye Quan, who lost her father when she was a child and was often bullied by her stepmother, but she was born smart and beautiful, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and good at female red, it is said that the peach blossoms she embroidered on silk can attract a hundred butterflies..."

"You can't get a good name." Su Ying interrupted: "But as long as the girl in the story is concerned, there will always be a name that is unusual when you hear it, even the surname can't be an ordinary surname, at least it should be a rare compound surname, even if it's Murong, Nangong and the like, surnames are too ordinary, besides, as you said, this girl is good-looking, she does everything well, her life experience is bizarre, and she should have a fairy name." ”

Ye Jingzhi thought about it very seriously: "The Queen Mother is right, in accordance with the Queen Mother's decree, this girl will call the Emperor Fu to pour the country." ”

The Emperor poured the country......

Now it was her turn to twitch the corners of her mouth: "...... It's still called Ye Limit. Reaching out and rubbing the corners of his forehead: "The way Mr. Ye chose his name is really ...... Simple and crude. ”

Ye Jingzhi's blue sleeves seemed to blow a breeze on the rice paper: "It is said that when this Ye Yuan was drawing water by the pond, he caught a carp more than two inches long, with red fin golden eyes, which is very rare." Ye Limit kept it in a pot, the fish gradually grew up, and could no longer find a vessel that could put it, Ye Limit secretly raised the fish in the pond in the backyard, saving food every day to feed, this fish is quite spiritual, Ye Limit will swim to the shore to show his head when he walks to the edge of the pool, if other people are there, he will no longer come out. Later, Ye Quan's stepmother knew, so she asked her to go to the spring a hundred miles away to draw water, and she wore Ye Quan's clothes to the pond to coax the fish out, cook and eat them, and bury the fish bones in the soil. ”

Su Ying's hand slipped, and the tea cup fell to the ground with a clatter.

Ye Jingzhi's face changed slightly, and he lifted the corner of his robe and was about to kneel: "The lower official is panicked." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." She waved her hand: "In the book, there is always a cup to be dropped at this time, I just follow the development of the story, and you continue." ”

“…… Be. ”

Ye Limit came back and couldn't see the fish, he was very sad, and secretly ran to the wild to cry, at this time, suddenly a man with long hair covering his face and ragged clothes fell from the sky and told Ye Limit where the fish bones were. Ye Liang dug out the fish bones and hid them in the house for offerings, and if he wanted anything, he bowed to the fish bones, and he had everything. ”

She listened to it and longed for it: "This fish is so magical, I don't know if it's real?" ”

"It's just some miscellaneous talk, the Queen Mother likes to listen to it." Ye Jingzhi glanced at her, lowered his head and continued to paint.

"If there really is such a fish, what will Mr. Ye ask for from it?"

He said unhurriedly: "Weichen doesn't know, the biggest thing in this world is the human heart, people's desires are endless, no matter how many things you want, you can't fill them." ”

She felt very reasonable: "Yes, it's like eating rock sugar gourd today, but I still want to eat it tomorrow, and after listening to the story today, I still want to hear it tomorrow." Blinked: "Mr. Ye, tell me, what happened to the story?" ”

Later, the girl named Ye Limit begged for a green textile dress and a pair of gold shoes with the fish bone, and secretly went to the cave festival to play, and was in a hurry when she left, and left a shoe, which was later sold to King Tuo Khan by the cave people, and King Tuo Khan ordered all the girls to try them on one by one, but no one could wear them, so she had to check door to door, and finally found Ye Limit, so she wore the green textile clothes, and wore gold silk shoes, dressed like a fairy and entered the palace, and was named Mrs. by King Tuohan.

Since then, he has lived a life of fine clothes and jade food, and only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals.

The end of this story is not much different from other stories she has heard, the girls in it have entered the palace to live a happy life, although she does not think that the palace is very good, but the girls in the story are extraordinary, probably because the person who wrote the story thinks that only entering the palace is a complete story. Besides, the girl Ye Jingzhi talked about today was bullied by her stepmother, no one in the stories she heard before would bully such a girl, the protagonist must be liked by everyone, but this girl is not only loved, but even finding a husband is so troublesome, thinking about it, the story Ye Jingzhi said is really novel and interesting.

Outside the window is the ten miles of smoke and waves on the lake, like a huge turquoise silk, Su Ying looked at the lake for a while, turned his head, and just looked at Ye Jingzhi's gaze, he seemed to bow his head a little hastily: "Xiaguan is rude." ”

She didn't care, she got up and walked to the table to take a look, Ye Jingzhi's painting work is really powerful, the people in the painting are lifelike, looking at the painting is like looking in the mirror, she praised: "Mr. Ye is really good at painting, this portrait is much better than mine." ”

Ye Jingzhi smiled slightly: "Thank you Queen Mother for your praise." ”

It was noon from the Shuangjing Bridge, and it rained a few showers, Gong E held a large umbrella of oil paper, drizzle drips on the top, making some trivial sounds, until passing through Yongxiang, only to see someone in the Linglong Pavilion in front of him, thinking that it was a few palace people who sheltered from the rain, and did not care, when they got closer, several palace people hurriedly saluted, but one sat alone on the corridor, the person heard the movement and turned around to see, and hurriedly saluted: "The concubine asked the queen mother to say goodbye." ”

It turned out to be Wu Yuehua. Su Ying stepped forward to help her up: "It's raining, why are you here?" ”

Wu Yuehua's eyes were red, thinking that she had just cried, and her voice was hoarse: "The concubine is rude." ”

She was born so beautiful, her clothes were slightly wet at this time, and she wanted to cry, which was even more moving, Su Ying didn't know what to do, so she had to lead her back to her bedroom first, and let Gong'e change her clothes, before holding her hand and asking, "Why are you crying?" ”

Wu Yuehua choked up and said: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, today is the birthday of the concubine's mother, and the concubine is just... It's just..."

Oh, she understood, Wu Yuehua was homesick and missed her mother, she remembered that she was like this when she first entered the palace, except for Yunluo, there was no one she knew with her, she stayed in the huge imperial city all day long, she couldn't see her father and mother, she couldn't see her brother and sister-in-law, she didn't even dare to cry loudly, she could only secretly hide and wipe her tears. I also thought that although she also entered the palace, she and Sun Miaoyi love to play and have a cheerful temperament, while a beauty like Wu Yuehua is always sentimental, maybe she will cry when she sees the flowers falling, not to mention missing her family. And she is now the queen mother, and she can see her mother for a few hours every festival or palace banquet, which is much better than them. Thinking about it like this, she felt even more pitiful for Wu Yuehua, and said softly: "Don't cry, if your mother knew that you were crying so sadly, how sad it would be." ”

It's okay not to say this, as soon as she said it, Wu Yuehua cried even more, the handkerchief to wipe her tears was wet, she was most afraid of seeing others crying, now it was the fairy who was in charge of the rain was crying, and the beauty in front of her was also crying, she hurriedly helped Wu Yuehua wipe her tears, and she racked her brains and said a lot of good things, which made it easy for Wu Yuehua to stop her tears, and quickly called Gong E to serve a snack and let her eat, maybe she forgot to cry while eating. This trick was really effective, Wu Yuehua's face was much calmer, and she was silent holding the tea cup.
