But while they look up to these men and love these men, they also complain about them and hate them, none of them can really focus on one person, and there are always other women around them.

Therefore, when these women are favored, they must beware of the jealousy and framing of other women. When they fall out of favor, they are full of grief and pain. No day is truly enjoyable.

They care so much about how they look. From clothing and makeup, to body shape, skin, hair and body odor, it is necessary to take care of it. Even if the nails are not dyed properly, they will be annoyed for a long time.

But Zhang Weizhao didn't care about his appearance. Living in the harem, a place full of beauties, she doesn't seem to have a trace of uneasiness due to the comparison of appearances.

She is at ease and at peace. In her place, the lament for the easy old and fleeting youth, the longing for the gentleman, and the worry about the poor fortune of the man seem to be completely absent. She just sat here comfortably, watching the two little princesses play in the sand, fearless and worry-free.

Ye Tongying just wanted to know what Zhang Weizhao thought. She wanted to ask again, but saw Narcissus hurrying over, and said to Zhang Weizhao and Ye Tongying: "Miss Zhang, Miss Ye, the queen mother of the front hall brought her niece, the son-in-law of the Ministry of Works' family to meet the queen mother. Miss Yu looks good, can speak, and it is said that the painting is also good, the queen mother is very happy, and said that please both of you to meet. ”

The Queen's niece?

Ye Tongying almost immediately sensed that this girl Yu was not good. She immediately got up from the small stool next to the sand table.

Zhang Weizhao didn't react so quickly because it didn't matter to him. Seeing Ye Tongying's expression as if she was facing a great enemy, she slowly understood what was going on. It's another candidate for the crown princess, right? It's just a summit of these candidates, what is she doing with soy sauce?

But since the Queen Mother has spoken, she always has to go. She squatted down, greeted the two princesses, and followed Narcissus to the front with Ye Tongying.

Zhang Weizhao and Ye Tongying entered the hall to greet the queen mother, queen and prince in turn.

The last time Zhang Weizhao saw the queen was at the palace banquet on Qixi Festival. That was also the first time Zhang Weizhao saw the queen of Dayan. However, afterwards, Zhang Weizhao could hardly remember the queen's appearance, and could only recall a thin, thin, and blurred figure.

And when I saw the queen again today, I could see that the expression on her face was much more vivid. Thinking that when the emperor and Jin Guifei were not present, she didn't have to deliberately reduce her sense of existence.

After the ceremony, Zhang Weizhao saw a girl wearing a bamboo-blue gown standing next to the Queen Mother. This girl has a slender figure, fair skin, moon eyebrows and starry eyes, beautiful and dignified.

Zhang Weizhao didn't think much of it was too busy to see the excitement, and secretly compared it in his stomach, Ye Tongying was delicate and cute, and Yu girl was dignified and beautiful, these two were chess opponents.

The Queen Mother, the Queen and the Crown Prince were saluted, and several girls saluted each other.

"Sister Yu is well!" Ye Tongying came over first to salute Miss Yu. I saw her stepping forward in a curling manner, gracefully bending her knees and making a blessing salute, while bowing her head slightly, her voice was very crisp, and the whole person looked delicate and bright.

Miss Yu smiled and said, "This is the sister of the Ye family, right?" Sister Ye is well! When he returned the salute to Ye Tongying, he secretly looked Ye Tongying up and down.

"Sister Yu, you are so beautiful! It's like a person coming out of a painting. Although I had never seen you in the palace before, I felt very kind when I saw you. Ye Tongying chatted with Miss Yu enthusiastically, with a sweet smile and gentle words. But in the words, he secretly pointed out that he was already very senior in the palace, and Miss Yu had just entered the palace.

This is similar to her straightforward attitude when she asked Zhang Weizhao in the backyard. Zhang Weizhao, who was standing on the side, could see that Ye Tongying's back was tight, and knew that this girl had entered a fighting state.

"Sister Ye is the real beauty. When I was at home, I heard that the eldest lady of the Ye family was unusually beautiful, and she was taken by the concubine Niangniang to raise her, and she was very pampered. It is a privilege to see it today. "Miss Yu is very gentle and polite.

As he spoke, he turned to Zhang Weizhao again.

Zhang Weizhao looked at her and looked at herself, bowing her head and bowing her hand. "Miss Yu is well!"

"Zhang Dao is healed!" Miss Yu bowed her knees slightly. Zhang Weizhao is a proud person beside the Queen Mother, and no one with vision will despise her. After the greeting ceremony, Miss Yu continued:

"I was here just now, and I saw a lot of paintings with exotic characters, are they all painted by you, Miss Zhang?"

"I painted it." Zhang Weizhao replied with a smile.

"These paintings are really extraordinary and funny! What materials do you use to paint? Doesn't seem to be ordinary ink? ”

"These paintings are all drawn with charcoal strips."

"I see, you can draw such a beautiful picture with charcoal strips!" Miss Yu admired from the bottom of her heart.

"It's just that the writing is too ugly. Far worse than the painting. The Queen Mother said coldly.

"That's what the Queen Mother said. It turns out that my master often said this when he was in the Xuan Miao Temple. Zhang Weizhao smiled.

The queen next to her heard the queen mother bury Zhang Weizhao in public like this, and she was secretly surprised in her heart. She knew that Zhang Weizhao was very proud in front of the Queen Mother, but she didn't know that she was so proud. You must know that the Queen Mother said that Zhang Weizhao's words were ugly, which seemed to be derogatory on the surface, but in fact, there was intimacy in the tone.

The queen smiled and said to the queen mother: "There is a specialization in the art industry." How many all-rounders are there in the world. Miss Zhang is very rare at a young age, with outstanding medical skills and good painting skills. That is, in the Queen Mother's Palace, there are such talents. He turned to Zhang Weizhao and said: "My niece, who has been studying painting since she was a child, has also had some experience now, so when she saw Miss Zhang, she didn't care about anything else, so she just wanted to discuss the meaning of brush and ink painting." You can learn more in the future. ”

"The queen has won the prize. The grapevine is ashamed. Zhang Weizhao said humbly. At the same time, I muttered a little in my heart, isn't this a summit between their candidates for the crown princess? Why did you bring me out and talk? Therefore, try to keep your speech concise and reduce your presence.

Ye Tongying was left aside, very unhappy. But this is the territory of the Queen Mother, and she doesn't dare to bring out the unhappiness on her face. simply walked up to the prince who was sitting on the side: "Your Royal Highness the prince, where is my puppy?" ”

"Just now, Feng Hao took it out to drink water and feed it. I should have fallen asleep in the side hall by this time. Chen Youcong remembered that the Queen Mother told her to be kind to Ye Tongying, but she felt that in order to keep her position as the prince, it was very embarrassing to deal with a young girl, so she was always a little awkward when talking to Ye Tongying, her eyes looked at the ground, and she didn't look at Ye Tongying.

Ye Tongying looked at him eagerly with her eyes, and then asked, "Just now I asked you to give my puppy a name, have you thought about it?" ”

Chen Youcong didn't have time to answer, but he heard the Queen Mother say: "You all come and see, how about this "Pinghu Fishing Song"? ”

The two palace maids unfolded a scroll and presented it in front of the Queen Mother.

On the horizontal picture, surrounded by clouds and trees in the foggy mountains, a calm lake water is displayed in front of people's eyes. The silhouettes of mountains and trees are reflected in the lake, fishing boats in the distance are standing with fishermen standing on their fences, and nearby villages are scattered at the foot of the mountain.

On one side of the scroll is written in Junxiu block letters, and the seal below is "Lanxi Jushi".

"The artistic conception is fresh and broad, with the hidden universe in the chest, and the background of the machine at the bottom of the wrist. It is indeed a rare masterpiece! Chen Youcong praised. The scenery depicted in this painting is fascinating, and it really deserves such a compliment.

"Thank you for the compliment! The little girl was ashamed. Miss Yu smiled humbly.

Ye Tongying heard the prince praise the girl's painting so much, her heart was sour and angry, the prince had never praised her like this. But her mother taught her that no matter what angry things happened in the palace, she should not attack in front of the prince, especially when she met the woman next to her to offer courtesy to the prince. So she also praised: "Sister Yu is really Lan Zhihui, and her painting skills are so exquisite." Dare to ask the words on this seal, Lanxi Jushi, is it my sister's alias? ”

"Yes. Lanxi is a stream in my hometown. With this as a name, it is also a reminder of the longing for the homeland. Miss Yu replied.

"My sister's hometown must be a place with beautiful scenery and beautiful landscapes." Ye Tongying said.

"Yes, after my family's hometown is the tea mountain, the mountains are empty and green, and the streams are clear. The tea brewed with this stream has a long aftertaste, and it is forgotten to drink. When it came to the scenery of her hometown, Yu girl's face showed a look of fascination.

"My sister's hometown is so good, it's worth missing my sister so far. Does my sister plan to return to her hometown to settle down in the future? Ye Tongying asked with big eyes.

Miss Yu suddenly got stuck, and she couldn't answer for a while. Ye Tongying saw that she was choked, and her heart was very happy. Since you are showing off the landscape painting of your hometown and think that your hometown is so good, why don't you go back to your hometown? What's on display here? It's not that I can't bear the prosperity and wealth of the capital.

The queen said on the side: "This place of peace is my hometown. Miaoqing, yes and no? ”

It turned out that Miss Yu's name was "Miaoqing".

Zhang Weizhao was a little embarrassed when he heard this, not for anything else, but now there are too many nobles in the capital called Miaoqing, as if there are many "Jiaxin" and "Zihan" in every primary school in later generations.

She was silently complaining about Yu Miaoqing's name in her heart, and suddenly heard the Queen Mother say: "Wei Zhao, how do you see this painting compared to you?" Since the last time Peony accused Zhang Weizhao of pretending to be a ghost, the Queen Mother and Zhang Weizhao seem to be close again, calling Zhang Weizhao's name every day.

"Miss Yu has everyone's demeanor, I'm just carving insects. Not the same thing. Zhang Weizhao replied decently.
