According to the practice in the palace, if a concubine is newly promoted, the emperor will either go through the motions or stay overnight, in short, he will have to take a look at the concubine's palace. It was night when Pei Zhao came out of Yanhe Hall after approving the excerpts, Tong He said cautiously: "Your Majesty, today Wu Zhaoyi and Rong Jieyu are promoted, do you still go to Jingchun Hall as usual?" ”

Pei Zhao was silent, rubbing his temples tiredly, Tong He understood at the moment, and immediately ordered: "Go to Jingchun Hall and tell me, please Rong Jieyu prepare to take over." ”

Yun Shan took the palace people to kneel in front of the door of Jingchun Hall early and waited to pick them up, and the palace lady beside her smiled and said: "Niangniang has been in the palace for only a few months, and she has been on a shoulder to shoulder with Sun Niangniang of Tangli Palace, and today Your Majesty has come to visit you first, which shows the weight of Niangniang in Your Majesty's heart." ”

Yun Shan smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Luan drove to the front of Jingchun Palace, and Tong Hecai woke up Pei Zhao softly: "Your Majesty, wake up, Jingchun Hall has arrived." ”

He had always slept very lightly, and he quickly regained his senses, because he saw that Yun Shan was still kneeling on the ground with low eyebrows, so he said lightly: "Get up." ”

The furnishings in the Jingchun Hall were added one by one according to Jieyu's grade, and Pei Zhao saw a very familiar Dingyao black-glazed plum bottle on the desk, so he said: "I remember that this bottle is a pair." ”。

Yun Shan said with a smile: "Your Majesty has good eyesight, this pair of plum bottles was rewarded by the Queen Mother, saying that she wanted to congratulate the concubine and Sister Wu on her promotion, so one person gave one." ”

While speaking, the palace ladies served a few delicate points, and Yun Shan personally held a glass of cheese in front of Pei Zhao: "The concubine thinks that it is late, and Your Majesty probably doesn't have any appetite, this is the cheese of the concubine's hometown, and the concubine is presented to the Queen Mother during the day, and the Queen Mother likes to eat it very much, please taste it too." ”

When Pei Zhao heard this, he scooped a spoonful of cheese and tasted it, and couldn't help laughing: "It's so sweet, she likes to eat such sweet and greasy things the most." ”

Yun Shan saw that his eyebrows were gentle and his expression was tired, so he said respectfully: "Your Majesty will go to the court tomorrow, please settle it early." The concubine body is in the side hall, if Your Majesty has any orders, just call the concubine body. ”

Pei Zhao nodded slightly, and Yun Shan was about to retire, when he was suddenly stopped by him: "Did she mention to you, Ye Jingzhi, the edict of Danqing Pavilion?" ”

Yun Shan said: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine has never heard this name in the mouth of the mother. ”

Pei Zhao said, "It's okay, you go down." ”

When he walked to the door of the hall, Yun Shan couldn't help but look back at Pei Zhao quietly, his face was hidden in the flickering lights in the hall, he couldn't see what his expression was, he seemed to feel something, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, Yun Shan was a little scared in his heart, but suddenly heard him whisper: "She...... She is not thin on you and likes to be lively, so you go to talk to her more. ”

Yun Shan replied "yes", a little hesitant in her heart, wanting to say something, but she didn't know how to say it, and finally lowered her eyes: "The concubine is retired." ”

The flowers in Baihuazhou, Cuiweitang, Hibiscus Pond and other places have bloomed all over the place, which is Su Ying's favorite time in previous years, every day is not to enjoy the flowers or catch butterflies, and the flowers picked can also be made into a hydrangea or something. But at this time this year, she didn't have the heart to go out, and she only knew how to sew robes in Changle Palace every day.

In the seventeen years since she was born, she has never been so virtuous. However, "virtuous" also has to endure hardships, for example, she has been sitting upright for more than an hour, and the work in her hand is only one-twelfth of it, seeing that a sleeve is about to be formed, she held it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, and hung her head in some frustration and said: "Duan Niang Duan Niang, look at it, why is this stitch crooked?" ”

Duan Niang took it and took a closer look when she heard this, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother uses Ning silk, which is the softest and lightest fabric, and it is really difficult to sew it, but the slave maid sees that the Queen Mother has been sewn very neatly this time, and she must not need to dismantle it again." ”

Although she said so, Su Ying looked left and right, and still felt dissatisfied, so she simply opened the sleeves that were easy to sew along the stitches, and Duan Niang couldn't stop her, so she had to say urgently: "Amitabha, Niangniang, you have dismantled it five or six times today alone, and you want to continue like this, I am afraid that when Your Majesty's birthday comes, this dress will be difficult to sew." ”

Su Ying regretted it very much in her heart, when she was at home in the past, her mother found the most famous embroidery girl in Tianjing to teach her to be a female celebrity, but at that time she was greedy for fun and refused to learn, and the family was used to her, so everyone simply turned a blind eye.

The eldest sister-in-law said, "My sister's female celebrity is excellent, and there will be more good people coming to the door in the future", but she was quickly rejected by her father and brothers: "My family Ah Ying doesn't learn what Lao Shi's children are popular, and there are also a large number of young talents begging to hold it!"

In this way, her female popularity is just perfunctory, if she sews a handkerchief, she can barely handle it, but it is really difficult to sew a robe. What's more, she is also very demanding, and she must make this robe perfect.

Recalling the tent that Wu Yuehua gave her on her birthday last year, Su Ying was almost ashamed and wanted to find a crack to get into. Pei Zhao is a first-class young talent, but it is obvious that he will never "beg to hold" such a self who can't even sew a robe. She rubbed her sore neck, and leaned in front of Duanniang: "How did this needle start?" I seem to have forgotten again. ”

This time, she sewed very slowly, and almost every stitch she had to show Duan Niang, and she looked left and right seriously. As the so-called emperor pays off, she finally sewed a neat sleeve with fine stitches.

Duan Niang rubbed her neck and said with a smile: "The queen mother is probably tired of sewing clothes for so long, and the slave maid ordered someone to prepare snacks, so you can take a break." ”

is getting closer and closer to Pei Zhao's birthday, where does she have time to rest? Su Ying shook her head, and was about to continue to bow her head to sew clothes, when a little fat man rushed to her at a lightning speed: "Mother, mother, what are you doing?" Why don't you accompany Ah Ming to Shangyuan for archery? ”

She was busy sewing clothes, and said without raising her head: "Archery is not suitable for a weak woman like the queen mother, Ah Ming will go by herself." ”

Pei Ming blinked his eyes, leaned over curiously and asked, "Queen Mother, what is this?" It's so beautiful. ”

Pretty?

Su Ying proudly showed Pei Ming the things in her hand: "This is the clothes sewn by the queen mother, I know that you are a child with vision!" ”

Pei Ming nodded hurriedly: "The clothes sewn by the queen mother are the best!" But the queen mother, Ah Ming is already four years old, and he doesn't need to talk about it for a long time, and it's useless for you to sew so big. ”

"......" Su Ying looked at Pei Ming in disbelief: "Ah Ming, the queen mother thinks that this seems to be a robe." ”

Pei Ming's eyes widened, and he wanted to take a closer look, but he was pinched by Su Ming: "Ah Ming, your imperial brother's birthday is coming, aren't you going to give him a birthday gift?" ”

Pei Ming's eyes turned a few times, and he was very entangled: "What does the imperial brother like?" ”

Well, this question stumped her, Su Ying thought about it and didn't have the slightest clue, so she had to tell him: "I think as long as you prepare it with your heart, he will definitely like it." ”

Pei Ming cheered: "Then I'll paint a picture for the imperial brother!" ”

This is a very good idea, Duan Niang immediately ordered someone to prepare a paintbrush inkstone, Pei Ming really sat down obediently to paint, and never came to quarrel with her again.

After sitting for several hours, Yun Luo came in and told her: "Gonggong Tong sent someone to say that His Majesty will come to ask for peace soon, and the Queen Mother is just resting." ”

Seeing that the robe was already more than half completed, Su Ying was very satisfied, she saw that Pei Ming was still immersed in smearing, so she walked over and asked, "Ah Ming, have you finished painting?" ”

As she spoke, she looked down at Pei Ming's painting, only to see that the lines were outlined in lilac, crow, and xuanqing, which looked like three human figures, but it was really bizarre. The edge is painted with green and light blue, and a little red and pink dotted among them, which can barely be seen as a field of flowers.

Su Ying pointed to the square ochre color on the scroll and asked, "What is this?" A tree? ”

"It's close!" Pei Ming was very excited: "Queen Mother, you must know what Ah Ming painted, you say, is this painting very good?" ”

Belch...... Ah Ming's little doll can draw such a strange masterpiece, it is still very encouraging, of course, Su Ming wants to praise him, so he smiled and said: "It's not just good, it's just beautiful, beautiful, ......beautiful, beautiful" She was racking her brains to find out what other idioms, Pei Ming couldn't wait to ask: "Then the queen mother, tell me, where is the beauty?" ”

Since the color is a tree, then the three limbs twisted are probably monkeys, Su Ying was sure in his heart, so he praised him: "Hmm, these three monkeys are very good at drawing, where do ordinary people want to use these colors to draw monkeys?" Do they want to climb the tree and pick fruit to eat? The queen mother thought it would be better to draw a few fruits on the tree. ”

Pei Ming: "......"

Su Ying thought that he was so proud that he couldn't speak, so he patted him on the shoulder seriously: "It is commendable to draw well, but you must also guard against rashness, do you understand?" ”

Pei Ming pursed his mouth aggrievedly: "Queen Mother, Ah Ming is not painting a monkey, it's you, I still have the imperial brother!" ”

Hey?

Su Ying stared at the painting hard, but she didn't see the slightest human appearance, so she had to explain with a dry smile: "That...... I've never known how to appreciate paintings, so it's better to give me the paintings, and I'll look at them for a few more days, and I'll definitely be able to understand them! ”

"What do you want to see?"

I don't know when Pei Zhao had already walked in, his gaze stayed on Su Jin's face for a moment, and he asked again with a smile: "What did you just say you want to understand?" ”

Without waiting for Su Ying to speak, Pei Ming couldn't wait to present the "masterpiece" to Pei Zhao: "Brother Huang, look at the painting I painted, can you see what it is?" ”

Pei Zhao looked at the painting, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly returned to his impassive appearance: "Is it the scene of swinging that day?" ”

"Brother Huang is right!" Pei Ming saw that even the imperial brother could read his artistic attainments, and he was happy.

Su Ying looked at Pei Zhao in disbelief: "How did you see it?" If she continues like this, she will start to doubt her own vision!

Pei Zhao smiled faintly, pointed to the clove-colored lines and told her: "On the day of the swing, your clothes were exactly this color." ”

"That's it?"

"That's all."

Obediently, Pei Zhao's memory is too good! Su Ming was so impressed that Pei Zhao smiled slightly, and said to Pei Ming: "This painting is not very bad, but it is not good, if you want to paint well, you have to work hard, remember, there is no ability in this world that comes in vain, such as archery, martial arts, even if it is a painting, you must learn and practice with your heart, understand?" ”
