Chapter 66: Painting
On the way back to the palace, Zhu Ran kept thinking about how to stop Du Yuxuan's decision to take Zhuyu as a concubine? Thinking about it, there seems to be no other way than to beg Zhu Heyu. But when I begged him, I couldn't open my mouth, and second, I was afraid that he wouldn't give face. Du Yanzhuo is the right man of the court, and it is surmised from Zhu Heyu's behavior that it is difficult for him to break the harmony with Du Yanzhuo because of such trivial matters.
"Thank you, ma'am!" Zhu Ran turned around and found that Shui Xin had tears in her eyes, excitement and joy, as well as the shyness of a girl's transformation into a woman.
"Look at you, why are you still shedding tears." Zhu Ran stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears for Shui Xin, sighed and said earnestly: "As long as you are good, what are these things." But there is a sentence that still reminds you, if you really like Lang'er, you must have a good relationship with Zhao Yihong, she is your future mother-in-law, and you must not be like today in the future. ”
"Yes...... But I can't forget the things Zhao Yihong did to Miss! They look down on people! ”
"You're here again," Zhu Ran suppressed Shui Xin and said lightly: "I won't forgive them, but for you, I am willing to deal with them, for Lang'er, you also have to hide those things deep in your heart, you chose Lang'er, that is, you chose everything around him, including his mother and his eldest sister." ”
"Madame... I ......" Shui Xin bowed his head and said no more.
……
As soon as she returned to Fuhuan Courtyard, the maid sent by Zhu Heyu came to the courtyard to inform Zhu Ran and asked her to go to Qingfeng Residence.
When I walked to the door, I stopped when I caught a glimpse of the people inside. Indoors, Zhu Heyu and Du Yuxuan are sitting next to the hardwood case on the left and right, both sitting in danger, but Zhu Heyu's face is gloomy, but Du Yuxuan is a little smug. Zhu Ran asked Zhu Heyu to say goodbye, and a very funny idea appeared in her mind at the moment when she bowed down, could it be that Zhu Heyu learned that she had an adulterous affair with Du Yuxuan, and the next moment the three of them were going to confront each other. Zhu Heyu asked her to excuse herself, and she quickly dispelled such thoughts. After looking up, he glanced at Du Yuxuan, originally wanting to say hello, but in front of Zhu Heyu, even if he smiled at Du Yuxuan, I am afraid that it will not work. Zhu Ran knew that he and Du Yuxuan were innocent, but at the same time, he also knew that Zhu Heyu had a grudge against her relationship with Du Yuxuan, even if he didn't say anything, even if he didn't have a seizure with him. But the more this is the case, in front of Zhu Heyu, the more Zhu Ran can't get along with Du Yuxuan generously. In the end, I chose to be expressionless.
But even if his face was expressionless, Zhu Heyu still had a chill when he looked directly into Zhu Ran's eyes. What else is he going to do with himself! A wave of anger poured out in Zhu Ran's heart regardless of the consequences, thinking that since this is the case, then break the jar and break it! looked at Du Yuxuan and smiled slightly, "Du Gongzi is good." ”
This good sound aroused two voices, one was audible but uncomfortable and incomprehensible; One is that she can't hear but makes her shiver and instantly regains consciousness. The former is Du Yuxuan's sneer, and the latter is Zhu Heyu's index finger clenching the teacup silently. Zhu Ran calmed down all of a sudden, she already had something to beg Zhu Heyu, Shui Xin's happiness was in her hands, and she couldn't go against Zhu Heyu.
The silent smoke was interrupted by the maids who came into the house.
The waitress brought a small chair and placed it more than three feet in front of the two of them. Zhu Heyu instructed Zhu Ran expressionlessly: "The princess of the side sit down." Zhu Ran sat on the chair and looked at Zhu Heyu suspiciously, but saw that the maid had prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the big case next to the two of them. Do what? Paint a portrait of her?
It was to paint a portrait of Zhu Ran, Zhu Ran sat upright and couldn't move, but his eyes still couldn't help but glance at the ordinary clothes he was wearing today, what kind of sale is Zhu Heyu! There was no warning on Zhuran's face, but he was already impatient in his heart. Yesterday I almost didn't sleep all night, this morning I watched the sunrise and saw the sunrise in the sky, and I went to Zhufu to deal with those irrelevant people, at this moment, I was extremely tired, but Zhu Heyu wanted to paint a portrait of her.
The two of them started writing together, and the sound of the breathing of the three people in the room was the sound of the brush rubbing the rice paper. For an hour or so, Du Yuxuan took the lead in putting down the brush, stood up, stretched out his body and said, "I've finished drawing!" Zhu Heyu also closed the pen at this time. Du Yuxuan rolled up the painting he had made, turned sideways to look at Zhu Heyu's painting on the big case, and after staring at it carefully, he mocked: "Prince Ruixin's pen power seems to be not as good as before!" ”
Zhu Heyu didn't care, and looked at Zhu Ran, and Zhu Ran went over. Zhu Ran slowly walked to the side of the two of them, to see himself in the painting, but after a closer look, he was inspired, painting people with eyes and hearts. She went to appreciate the painting, only from the perspective of a person who admired the painting, and the person who painted it had affection for the people in the painting. Zhu Ran herself felt strange, just because she saw this, she was upset, and her pulse accelerated! looked at Zhu Heyu and found that he had already moved his gaze to himself.
Du Yuxuan got up and wanted to leave, but Zhu Heyu stopped him and said, "Doesn't Du Gongzi plan to let me and my concubine appreciate your masterpiece?" ”
Du Yuxuan's footsteps stopped, and after hearing Zhu Heyu's words, he said loudly: "Since Prince Ruixin loves me so much, I will give this painting to the prince!" After speaking, he threw the rolled up painting on the wooden table with a lot of strength, and without waiting for Zhu Heyu's reaction, he raised his legs and left.
Surprisingly, there was no portrait of Zhu Ran on the paper, but Du Yuxuan's painting was a gold lacquer vase with a hollow peony pattern in the West Sea standing north and south behind Zhu Ran. Before Zhu Ran could take a closer look, Zhu Heyu took the painting in his hand and asked Zhu Ran while looking at it, "Who is better between me and him?" ”
Zhu Ran lowered his head and asked Zhu Heyu rhetorically: "How can the prince answer this?" ”
After Zhu Heyu heard this, he put down the painting and went to see Zhu Ran, when he was painting, he knew that she was very tired, and said in a soft tone: "But I'm tired, go back to sleep." ”
Zhu Ran didn't shirk it, and said directly: "That Ran Ran retired." ”
When he walked out of the door, Zhu Heyu seemed to remember something and asked, "Is your mother's affairs going well?" ”
He bowed down and replied lightly: "Lord Lao is worried, everything is going well." ”
Absentmindedly walked in the direction of Fuhuan Courtyard, and did not follow the maid by his side. Thinking of the conversation with Zhu Heyu just now, I didn't know what it was like in my heart, so I asked myself in my heart, if she didn't use some skills in this conversation, would she still be able to come out at this moment? Zhu Heyu asked her what she said: "Who is better between me and him?" Although she didn't answer, she changed her title from the usual concubine to Ran Ran. I can't help but think, why does a title work, is it because Zhu Heyu has her in his heart? She justified herself, but she convinced herself......
