While laughing, I saw a little decently dressed little eunuch enter the house, beat a thousand children, and said with a sneer: "Master De, long live the Lord said something interesting, please go to Cining Palace with all the masters earlier, do you think it is convenient to go at this time?" Concubine De looked at everyone: "That is the case, let's be here to make a fuss, or go to Cining Palace earlier." Everyone agreed, and Concubine Suide took a group of daughters-in-law and grandchildren to get up and leave Yonghe Palace.

Came to the outside of Cining Palace, as the doors listened to the eunuchs' louder voices, Huizhu led Hongli into the palace, before reaching the main hall, across the distance I heard bursts of laughter and laughter from inside, and the footsteps paused slightly, and then continued to walk in the crowd.

As soon as I stepped into the house, the warm heat surrounded me with the rising sandalwood in the stove. Huizhu spat out the cold air, lowered her eyes slightly, and inhaled the mellow fragrance, so she didn't have time to reverie, so she pulled down Hongli, and followed everyone to bow down and bow: "The concubine (slave maid) please live the Lord Da'an, please the Queen Mother's ancestor Da'an." Emperor Kangxi smiled: "Concubine De is here, you should get up quickly." ”

Concubine De led everyone to get up and said, "Thank you for your grace." After finishing speaking, he smiled and walked to the top seat and sat down.

Huizhu firmly held Hongli's hand, followed the Ulanara clan to the side and stood still, and then heard Concubine De laugh and said: "Before the concubine walked in, she heard laughter from afar in the house, how could she be so happy?" But what did the gentleman say that he had to say? After that, he exchanged glances with a concubine beside him, holding back a smile.

Huizhu followed Concubine De's words and looked into the house, at first glance, the people who were full of black pressure on the room, did not look closely, and could not tell who was who, only listening to the chirping and laughter, she was already dizzy, not to mention the room full of flowers dressed up, which was surrounded by a small pile, and it was very tiresome to watch.

Looking at the dazzle, Huizhu glanced at it casually, and wanted to retract her gaze. No, Huizhu turned her head and thought about it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and she was busy looking at it, and she was stunned for a while, and she couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

I saw a six-grade official wearing a broken beaded top hat, wearing a navy blue six-grade heron supplement uniform, a robe decorated with eight pythons and four claws, and black boots, about twenty-seven or eight-year-old Wenchen six-grade official, standing on the ground with his chest up, one hand back, and one hand stretched forward, standing on the ground, talking to Emperor Kangxi, but these are not the places that surprised Huizhu.

When Huizhu looked carefully, she saw that under the edge of the top hat worn by this young civil official, a slightly brown curly head ran out, and on the slightly white face was a pair of rough thick eyebrows, a pair of fine and dense eyes, the blue eyeballs in the eyes were shining with the ups and downs of the tone, and under the eyes were a high nose bridge, convex cheekbones, thick lips, clear contours, deep facial features, and the appearance was obviously different from others, and it was a foreigner at a glance. It's just that I don't know if this foreigner can still be an official in the Manchu court? Huizhu tilted her head, looking at the foreigner official carefully, and thought curiously.

Hongli seemed to look at this too, stretched out his chubby inside, glared at Hongli, and whispered: "What did Eniang say, don't talk nonsense when you enter the palace, otherwise you won't be allowed to eat cakes and cakes when you go back." As he spoke, he saw Hongli holding back his little face, so he couldn't help but ease his tone and coaxed: "Good, that's a foreigner, but what do we want to ask about our little Hongli, let's wait until we return to the house, okay?" Hongli nodded reluctantly, and Huizhu saw it, so he stood up with a smile.

The Ulanala clan turned around, touched Hongli's head, looked at Huizhu and said with a smile: "Sister Niu Hulu may look at Miansheng, this gentleman in the mouth of De Niangniang is a missionary who traveled across the ocean a few years ago. In November, Long Live Lord summoned him, and when he saw that he was a good painter, he left him to be a painter in the palace, and he was also given an official rank. After saying that, the Ulanara clan frowned and thought about it.

Wan Yan said with a smile: "Fourth sister-in-law, listening to Eniang, he is an interesting person, what do you say to follow the customs, as soon as you come, you will change your name to Lang Shining." As he spoke, he muttered playfully: "These foreigners, who don't know how to count etiquette, actually learned to be a Han famous Lang Shining without saying it, and they are very pleasing to the Lord of Long Live." ”

Huizhu listened to the words of the Fourteenth Fujin, and the more she listened, the more she felt that this name was familiar, "Lang Shining, Lang Shining" silently recited a few times in her heart, and vaguely remembered that the name of a certain drama in her previous life was "Court Painter Lang Shining", where Lang Shining was yellow and blue-eyed and tall, but the one in front of him was brown and blue-eyed and thin, how did she look like the protagonist in the drama in her previous life.

Huizhu was still thinking unconsciously, and suddenly saw Lang Shining walking towards her, and asked next to her, "1adies, nete, p1ease?" A group of noble ladies saw Lang Shining who suddenly came over, arced a big jump, and invariably leaned back, and after Lang Shining shook his head comically and left, they both joined hands together, eating and laughing.

Huizhu couldn't help but pout, and the foreigner wearing the coat of a Qing Dynasty official stood in a pile of fat powder, looking like a big singer. In his mind, Lang Shining had already walked to the chair where the Ulanala clan was sitting, and continued to ask, "1adies, nete, p1ease?" The Wulanala clan and the Wanyan clan, who was sitting with their hands down, glanced at each other, hurriedly dodged away, and watched Lang Shining leave.

Suddenly, Hongli replied crisply: "Yes, you?" When the words fell, there was an instant silence in the house, and everyone looked at it together. Huizhu lowered her head and thought of the things that happened to her life on the Birthday Day, and she couldn't wait to hug Hongli and leave.

However, it was obvious that Hongli couldn't feel the cold sweat breaking out of the palm of Huizhu's hand holding him, and he justified with a straight face: "Iamagent1eman."

After hearing this, Lang Shining looked at Hongli with a look of surprise, his mouth opened wide, and then he said in surprise: "Oh! mygod!hata1ove1yboy!” While speaking, the person had bypassed the people sitting in the front row, came to Hongli, picked up Hongli, kissed him on the cheek, looked at Emperor Kangxi, and asked in very strange Chinese: "Your Majesty, I can draw this cute boy without drawing 1adies, heisverynetd1ove1y!" I1ikehim!”

Emperor Kangxi was a little stunned, and suddenly a touch of pride flashed in his eyes, and he laughed and said: "Lang Shining, the child you are holding in your hand is my imperial grandson, the little brother of my fourth son's family, if you want to paint him, he will paint it." Lang Shining can already understand a lot of Chinese, but his answers to spoken English are not very fluent. At this time, Lang Shining listened to Emperor Kangxi's permission, thanked him, and then held Hongli and explained it to the side. However, it seems that Hongli did not understand this explanation, because Huizhu only taught some common sentences, and Hongli did not understand the more esoteric.

Fortunately, the little eunuch who was waiting on the side was clever, bowed down like Hongli explained what he meant, and after half a ring, he saw that Hongli seemed to understand, nodded, and then looked at Huizhu and shouted: "Eniang, 1one1gnen wants to draw Hongli, Eniang also comes, draw Hongli and Eniang together, and the little sister in Eniang's belly also draw together." After speaking, he looked at Huizhu with sparkling eyes.

Now, Huizhu's heart is up and down, and she can feel all kinds of eyes on her, especially the Li family and the Nian family next to her are even sharper, staring at her firmly for a moment.

Emperor Kangxi looked at Huizhu with a sharp gaze, and recalled that Yinzhen had mentioned this matter before the meeting, thinking that Hongli's foreign language was also taught by Huizhu, which was also a good thing. With such a change of mind, Emperor Kangxi eased his gaze and said with great interest: "Niu Hulu, you can also go over and let Lang Shining paint a Western painting for you and Hongli." ”

Huizhu sighed silently, glanced at the Kangxi Emperor who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, was sixty-one years old, and had white temples, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly bowed his head and took his life, walked quickly to the desk, nodded politely to Lang Shining, and pulled Hongli to sit down on the embroidery pier.

Concubine De's mother and son seemed to be brilliant again, with a strange look in her eyes, and her eyes were deep, until the concubine on the side praised and said: "What a blessing, there is such a smart imperial grandson, who can speak Western at a young age, but he is envious of others." Concubine De restrained her thoughts, raised her eyebrows with a faint sense of pride, and said modestly: "A child will say a few words, how can it be so praised, don't let him listen to it." In a word, everyone almost understood the meaning, and saw Emperor Kangxi and the Queen Mother looking at Huizhu's mother and son with a smile, and they also said praise.

The hour passed for more than an hour, and everyone laughed and greeted, during which the queen mother was too old, and did not say a conversation, so she was helped down by the old lady to rest. At this time, Lang Shining also finished drawing, put down the pen, and bowed to Huizhu, and said in a bend: "Thank you, beautiful lady." After finishing speaking, he took a step back with one foot, stretched out his right hand, and looked at Huizhu with a sincere face.

Seeing this, everyone stopped laughing and looked at Huizhu one after another, Emperor Kangxi knew what he meant, but he didn't open his mouth to solve the siege, and also looked at it with everyone's sight. Huizhu's face froze, just looking at Lang Shining and smiling dryly, but his hands held Hongli's shoulders, unwilling to reach out to him.

Just when he was embarrassed, he heard the eunuch raise his voice: "The third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the eighth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother, and the fifteenth elder brother have arrived." The voice was still echoing in the hall, and several Yinzhen brothers had stepped forward, only to see that they were wearing the prince's python robe, with a puff of the hem, two armies, and kneeling on one knee and saying: "Erchen Yinzhen (Yin~) Qing Emperor Ama Da'an, Emperor Ama is auspicious." Emperor Kangxi retracted his gaze, raised his hand and smiled: "Get up." The brothers dusted their sleeves and said, "Thank you Huang Ama." With that, he got up and stood aside.
