Chapter 153: The Night Banquet Storm - Protection
For speculating on people's hearts, Luo Qingqian is actually not good at it. The reason why she can see a lot of things quickly is because of her keen observation and integration skills.
In other words, Luo Qingqian's research on people's micro-expressions is very thorough!
But now that the Queen Mother's face is being painted in front of her, and she is silent, Luo Qingqian is very difficult to judge what kind of mood the Queen Mother Zuo is in.
"The emperor has arrived!"
While everyone was silent, the eunuch's shout suddenly came from the door.
A group of noble ladies hurriedly stood up, and their faces could not hide their excitement.
The biggest wish to enter the palace is to see the emperor, but I didn't expect to really meet it! This made all the noble ladies can't help but tidy up their makeup.
Only Luo Qingqian retreated slightly and retreated behind everyone.
"Queen Mother, I'm here to pick you up and take you to the front hall!"
With these words, the emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe stepped in, not only did he come, but behind him, he was also followed by the current dynasty's god of war - Long Yunche.
Seeing this, everyone in the room immediately knelt down and saluted the emperor and the prince, and the delicate sound was like a yellow bird coming out of the valley, which made people feel refreshed and happy.
The emperor smiled slightly: "Let's all be flat!" ”
After that, he didn't go to see everyone, but stepped forward with Long Yunche to the front of the Queen Mother.
On the contrary, it was Long Yunche, and his cold eyes saw Luo Qingqian's body retreating behind the crowd at a glance.
The eyes of the two met in the air, and there was a trace of warmth in Long Yunche's originally condensed eyes.
Looking at the two sons approaching, Empress Dowager Zuo smiled and said, "Why are you here?" ”
"Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and I and my eleventh brother want to give you a birthday first!"
After speaking, he waved his hand, and the little eunuch behind him stepped forward and took out the brocade box in his hand, and in the brocade box was a jade Ruyi with a perfect shape and color.
The emperor personally sent the jade Ruyi to the Queen Mother and said: "I wish the Queen Mother a healthy body and all the best!" ”
"Good, good!" Empress Dowager Zuo held the jade Ruyi in her hand, and her hand was warm and comfortable, knowing that it must not be ordinary, so she smiled, "Mourning the emperor!" ”
Another little eunuch walked up again, and there was a jade Guanyin in the brocade box in his hand.
Long Yunche knelt on the ground and said, "Erchen wishes the Queen Mother a long blessing!" Live a long and healthy life! ”
Empress Dowager Zuo looked at the solemn Jade Guanyin, there was a faint flash of light on it, knowing that this must be a good thing, she nodded again and again: "Not bad, not bad!" Che'er has a heart! ”
The emperor rolled his eyes at this moment, and he had already seen the oil painting supported by two little eunuchs.
He immediately stepped forward, and after taking a closer look, he was a little surprised: "Queen Mother, this is you!" ”
Empress Dowager Zuo nodded and said, "Can the emperor see at a glance that it is the mourning family?" The mourning family is much older than the person in the painting. ”
The emperor looked at the painting, shook his head and said, "The queen mother's words are wrong!" The person in this painting is clearly the appearance of the Queen Mother, and even the charm is exactly the same as in my memory! I clearly remember the heroic appearance of the Queen Mother when she went to participate in the autumn hunt when I was a child! ”
"Autumn hunting?" Empress Dowager Zuo suddenly smiled and said, "That was really a long time ago, and now the mourning family can't even hold a bow and arrow!" ”
The emperor suddenly turned around, and said to the Empress Dowager Zuo in a low voice: "Empress Dowager, you have always been the queen mother who can shelter me from the wind and rain in my heart, and I will never forget this." ”
Empress Dowager Zuo looked at this son, who had become a generation of emperors, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more.
The emperor asked, "Who did this?" It's so lifelike! I want a reward! ”
Before the Queen Mother could answer, a small head suddenly poked out from behind the oil painting, and it was another girl among the twins.
She looked at the emperor with a pair of big eyes and said timidly: "This is a congratulatory gift painted by Sister Luo to the Queen Mother."
As he spoke, he raised his little hand and pointed at Luo Qingqian behind everyone.
The emperor's eyes searched among the people, and this time Luo Qingqian couldn't hide anymore, so he could only walk up slowly under the unfriendly gaze of the other nobles, knelt down and kowtowed: "The people's daughter Luo Qingqian sees the emperor." ”
The emperor looked at the girl kneeling on the ground, and Luo Qingqian's appearance immediately appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect Miss Luo Er to have such an ability to paint such a expressive painting!" But I see that this painting is different from our imperial painting style, can the second lady explain? ”
Everyone doesn't understand it, but wouldn't it be a revelation that they don't have enough knowledge if they ask questions? Therefore, everyone also looked at Luo Qingqian with curiosity.
Luo Qingqian didn't get up, and continued to hang his head and said: "This painting uses the painting method of Xiyi, which is naturally different from the painting method of our imperial capital. ”
Chen Kerong rolled her eyes on the side, and said boldly: "Why haven't you heard of Miss Luo Er's painting methods before?" Is this painting really painted by Miss Two? ”
Everyone was also puzzled.
Luo Qingqian was a well-known idiot in the imperial capital before. It's unbelievable that a fool can have such drawing skills!
After all, painting is not something that can be learned overnight! Even if this Xiyi painting is different from the imperial capital, it is definitely not a matter of a few months to be able to paint so realistically!
A delicate-looking woman next to Chen Kerong glanced at Luo Qing and said, "Miss Luo Er is a person who has enlightened her wisdom by the Buddha, and maybe this painting ability is also the same." ”
Chen Kerong pursed her lips slightly and smiled: "If it is really the Buddha who also ignited the painting of the second lady, it would be really magical." I don't want to put our imperial ink paintings, but I just go to Xiyi's painting ability. ”
A few people next to him couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing that this Miss Luo Er had successfully attracted the emperor's attention, all the nobles were very jealous in their hearts. I wish I could hurry up and charge her with a bully!
Empress Dowager Zuo, who was already sitting in her position, did not make a sound, her eyes flashed.
Although she also suspected that Luo Qingqian was lying, this painting really touched her heart. If Luo Qingqian told the truth, she would not pursue this matter at all.
But if Luo Qingqian was lying to her......
The last thing she can accept is deception!
"It's just a painting, it doesn't matter who paints it! As long as it is for the Queen Mother, how can the Queen Mother hold on to this little thing! ”
Long Yunche, who had not spoken, spoke!
Just this opening is obviously defending Luo Qingqian.
Others couldn't hear anything, but the Empress Dowager Zuo and the emperor heard the meaning, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other.
Luo Qingqian heard that Long Yunche was defending her, but she didn't raise her head, and continued to say softly: "Your Majesty! This painting is indeed painted by Qing Qian's own hands, Qing Qian will never dare to deceive the Queen Mother and the Emperor!! ”
Long Yunche couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Miss Luo has also saved the queen mother before, I don't think she will deceive us about this." ”
Looking at Luo Qingqian, who was still kneeling on the ground, Long Yunche couldn't help but feel distressed.
The emperor saw that his younger brother, who had always been idle and didn't care about things, suddenly became so interested in Miss Luo Er, and he felt a little tempted in his heart.
His tone was cold, but he said, "Stand up and talk back!" ”
"Yes!" Luo Qingqian heard the coldness in the emperor's tone, and stood up with some puzzlement! But he still didn't look up.
The Emperor asked, "Miss Luo, please explain why you can draw such a realistic picture!" ”
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother. used to be stupid and stupid, and lived in the backyard of Luofu on weekdays. But my brother worked as an errand boy in Wanyi Pavilion very early. At that time, in order to learn the Xiyi language, my brother once invited a Xiyi person to live in the house. ”
Long Yunche nodded on the side and said, "I can testify to this matter!" Her elder brother Luo Yunfeng did work in the Wanyi Pavilion. ”
Hey? Who asked you to testify here? I haven't said anything yet!
The emperor glanced at him, but saw that Long Yunche's eyes were still fixed on Luo Qingqian. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the emperor couldn't help but complain in his heart: Is he, the eleventh brother, enlightened? But, how do you look a little silly!
The emperor continued to hold back a smile and nodded, "Well, I believe in the words of the eleventh brother, you continue!" ”
Luo Qingqian said again: "That Xiyi man has nothing else to do except teach my brother Xiyi language on weekdays, and I saw him painting when he was okay in the yard." That's why I learned this painting at that time. ”
"Can an idiot learn to draw?" Chen Kerong didn't believe it.
