A lake blue palace dress brings bursts of coolness, the white lotus on the chest is in full bloom, the skirt is polar, like a sparkling lake, and the fine pearls and jade dotted on it look from a distance, like the broken gold sprinkled by the sun on the surface of the lake, bringing some warmth to this slightly cold color.

Beiliuyun's gaze fell on her, the lake-blue peacock swayed, a few white jade lotus hairpins, fresh and elegant, and a touch of white tassels behind the bun, swaying gently with her steady steps, indescribably good-looking.

Chu Luoyi also looked around, and on both sides of the emperor's dragon chair, there were two golden pools, the living spring introduced from nowhere, spraying water outward, the pond was blooming with golden lotus, and a few red carp occasionally jumped out, gurgling water, adding a bit of vitality to the luxurious hall.

On the jade steps, there are large rhododendrons, peonies, peonies, and cosmos, which are put together to form a big longevity character, and the vitality is infinite.

Under the jade steps, two white crane incense burners exude a faint fragrance.

From the bottom of the jade steps, two rows of mahogany tables are lined up in turn, the prince stands next to the first table on the left, and the king of Yangshan sits facing him.

After that, there were several princes who were crowned kings, and then there were envoys from various countries.

Chu Luoyi's gaze fell on the touch of snow white, the man in a pure white robe was slightly green, and only a white jade fell from his waist, and his demeanor was elegant, like a spotless white orchid, elegant and warm. The man's arm is a woman's hand, a water-pink dress, smart and cute, and the eyes are clear and unworldly.

Beiliuxue's eyes also fell on Chu Luoyi, bowing slightly at her, the woman on the side looked over with some curiosity, and when she saw Chu Luoyi, the whole person was stunned.

"It's beautiful..."

Chu Luoyi also bowed slightly at her, with a light smile on the corner of her mouth.

Turning his head, he saw Beiliuyun, his fiery gaze had been firmly fixed on him, and there was a little more Yin Owl belonging to the emperor in his familiar eyes.

Chu Luoyi looked at him greedily, but in an instant, she forced herself to look away, and the river fish on the side was like a bedbug, which made her disgusted from the bottom of her heart.

Jiang Yu'er, who was dressed in an orange palace suit, also saw Chu Luoyi, and couldn't help but stop Beiliuyun on the side with more force, with a strong sense of demonstration in his eyes.

Chu Luoyi didn't look at her, except that she was standing beside him now, she was just a clown jumping off the beam to her.

When Chu Luoyi looked away, Beiliuyun turned his head to look at the fish beside him: "What are you worried about?" ”

Yu'er was stunned for a moment, and said with a stiff smile: "I'm just a little worried that Your Majesty will leave me." ”

"How so?" Beiliuyun said.

Yu'er's eyes were happy, and he was always happy to believe his words.

Looking Jiang Yu'er up and down, Beiliuyun said casually: "Today's weather is quite hot, why does the queen wear so much." ”

Yu'er looked at the high-necked skirt that Beiliuyun landed on her neck and asked, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes.

I don't know what's going on, since I came to Tanglin, the festering that was originally slightly better suddenly erupted, like a menacing torrent, and like a volcano that has been suppressed for a long time.

In just a few days, there was hardly a good place on her body, and the ulceration had run up her neck and was about to crawl to her face.

The Huang Ying and Huang Li behind him lowered their heads one after another, not daring to say more, now the queen mother is not only in front of His Majesty, but also has a gentle side, and the time next to her is better than Xiao Yuluo at the beginning.

"I felt a cold a few days ago, so I wore more." Jiang Yu'er unnaturally let go of Beiliuyun's arm, and said with a dodging gaze.

Before she came, because she was afraid that the smell would spread, she wrapped all parts of her body firmly with a white cloth, and then smeared it with heavy incense powder, so that she could appear in front of everyone.

Beiliuyun nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask again.

Beiliuyun was headed by Ouyang Qiancheng and Qingxue, Xiang Yu sat behind the table behind the two of them with the child in his arms, lowered his head and took care of it carefully, sometimes looking up at her, as if he was still immersed in what he heard that day.

Ouyang Qiancheng's gaze had never left Chu Luoyi, looking at the eyebrows and eyes that looked like in his memory, his heart was complicated.

Could it be that there really be two people in this world who are so similar?

Qingxue still raised her arrogant head slightly, and there were waves of water flowing in her eyes, and she did not hesitate to throw flattering glances at the men who came and went.

Many people stepped forward to talk to Beiliuhai, and Chu Luoyi stepped forward alone.

"Your Majesty has arrived~" As the eunuch's shrill voice remembered, the old emperor of Tanglin appeared in front of everyone in a bright yellow dragon robe.

Everyone got up one after another, like the old emperor to celebrate his birthday.

The old emperor waved his hand and said, "You go on, the hour has not yet come, and I am idle and bored alone, so I can't help but come and see in advance." ”

Many people laughed and stepped forward to talk to the old emperor.

The old emperor has a good temperament, and he is not sharp, and he rarely has the emperor's frame, but many people are willing to talk to him.

Looking at Beiliuyun who was talking to Beiliuxue beside him, Jiang Yu'er dragged her skirt and walked in front of Chu Luoyi, the glass cup in her hand swaying with an amethyst-like liquid.

Looking at Jiang Yu'er who stopped in front of him, Chu Luoyi also stood still.

"Concubine Luo, long time no see."

Chu Luoyi didn't speak, just looked at the woman in front of him calmly, clearly smelled the smell coming from her body, and subconsciously thought of Beiliuyun.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Yu'er said coldly: "Chu Luoyi, don't come back, you are just his old love, and now I am her queen, he loves me, you are destined to be impossible with him!" ”

Chu Luoyi raised his eyes slightly, the focus of his pupils finally fell on the woman in front of him, recalling that he had almost fallen on her hand several times, and said in a hoarse voice: "The fate of a new love is always better than an old love." ”

Jiang Yu'er didn't care, in her heart, her life had already changed, she was convinced of this, and therefore she was full of confidence in Beiliuyun's favor and now her own position.

"Hmph, you don't have to bother, then again, as the concubine of Beiyan, marrying the prince of Beiyan, the prince of Dongling, your means are not high? However, after serving Lao Tzu and serving his son, he must be very happy. The fish smiled a little hideously, and under the torture of this time, the whole person became more and more distorted.

Chu Luoyi took a step forward and whispered in Jiang Yu'er's ear: "The father and son who are waiting are better than you guarding the boudoir empty, and the spring heart is unbearable." ”

"Chu Luoyi, don't be complacent, the man you love is now by my side, what do you have to be proud of! Let me tell you, even God won't help you, in your life, it's destined to be impossible with Beiliuyun! You just wait to see us raise our eyebrows and grow old together! Jiang Yu'er was not angry, and said coldly.

Chu Luoyi's expression remained unchanged, but his face turned a little pale uncontrollably, Yu'er's face was flushed, and when he saw Chu Luoyi's expression, his eyes flashed with excitement.

The old emperor's eyes fell on Chu Luoyi and Jiang Yu'er and said, "What is Empress Zaiyu chatting with Luoyi, it seems that she is chatting very happily?" ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Chu Luoyi and Jiang Yu'er, with inquiry in their eyes.

Jiang Yu'er looked up at the kind old emperor, and said with some embarrassment: "I just heard that Princess Wujun is versatile, so I can't help but ask for advice." ”

Beiliuyun's gaze fell on Jiang Yu'er, his gaze was gloomy as if he was looking at a dead corpse, Jiang Yu'er, today is your death.

He listened to her words word for word, and since Luo Luo entered this hall, his mind never moved away from her.

"Oh? I have long heard that Empress Zaiyu can sing and dance, and she is even more good at painting, so I might as well have a discussion with Luo Yi today. "The old emperor was in high spirits.

Yu'er was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect the old emperor to make such a request, he turned his head to look at the eyes projected around, and could only respond stubbornly: "I can help Your Majesty, and this palace is happy." ”

Chu Luoyi looked at the old emperor of Tangling, and he didn't know why he suddenly made such a request, but he was silent and didn't speak.

Beiliuhai on the side walked up to her and said, "Luo Luo, if you don't want to, you can refuse, grandpa won't embarrass you." ”

Chu Luoyi shook her head, no matter what, today is the birthday of Emperor Tanglin, and it is always inappropriate for her to refuse like this.

Jiang Yu'er opened his mouth at this time: "At Your Majesty's birthday banquet, there are countless women with soft postures, and the dancing posture of the fish is really difficult to compare with them. ”

Jiang Yu'er secretly thought, firstly, her dancing posture was really average, and secondly, she was worried that she was beating violently, and the smell on her body could no longer be concealed.

The old emperor seemed to be in high spirits: "This is very good, Luo Yi, what do you think?" ”

"The concubine has no opinion."

The old emperor of Tanglin raised his hand and waved, and the palace maid instantly put on two bookcases, and then placed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which was quite detailed.

The tables of the two face each other, close together, so that they can clearly see what the other person has drawn.

When the two of them stood firmly, everyone in the court surrounded them.

Jiang Yu'er was full of confidence, raised his sleeve with one hand, picked up the brush, and quickly put down the pen.

Chu Luoyi stood in front of the spread out of the drawing paper, his heart was at a loss, and when he looked up, he saw Beiliuyun standing next to the fish but staring at him with burning eyes.

There is hatred, love and hatred, joy and dislike in that gaze, as if it contains a thousand words and a thousand strands of affection.

Chu Luoyi retracted his gaze and slowly put down his pen.

I saw that the ordinary brush was like a swimming dragon in the hands of the fish, and a hazy mountain and river scene slowly outlined the outline under her brush, but the ink-colored mountains and rivers contained a terrifying power, and in a short moment, a magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers gradually emerged in her majesty.

Beiliuhai's eyes fell on Jiang Yu'er, I have to admit that Jiang Yu'er is very good at painting, just looking at this silhouette, he seems to be able to imagine the scenery of mountains and rivers with lakes and mountains, the mountains are majestic, the sea is rippling, the mountains are high, the sea is boundless, and the end is a splendid river and mountain.

Chu Luoyi also slowly lifted the pen, and ink-colored lotus flowers bloomed under her pen.

The music of the main hall was slowly sung, and everyone surrounded the two in the middle, and the old emperor couldn't help but walk down from the dragon chair and watch the situation of the two up close.

The burning incense pillar has become shorter little by little, the fish have switched to colored paints, and a beautiful and boundless scenery of mountains and rivers has gradually emerged, making people have to sigh at the creation of the devil and the axe between heaven and earth.

Looking at Chu Luoyi again, he was still painting lotus flowers, and the ink-colored lotus flowers were a little sad and strangely beautiful for no reason.

After another moment, the fish slowly brushed up, and there was a look of ambition in her eyes.

Since she was a child, she has been good at painting, and she is full of confidence in her own painting, although this picture of mountains and rivers is not fine enough, but it is by no means everyone can make it.

After the fish put down the pen, his eyes fell on Chu Luoyi's drawing paper, and the patches of ink-colored lotus flowers made people feel quiet.

The old emperor of Tanglin looked at Chu Luoyi, who was concentrating on painting lotus flowers, and reminded: "Luoyi, this time is almost up. ”

Chu Luoyi didn't make a sound, when the last lotus flower was finished, the pen turned, chatted a few strokes, on a flat boat, a man with long hair and shoulder-length, supporting his head with one hand, his slightly drooping hair blocked his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression, and the lotus flowers in the competition blocked half of his body.

A lotus flower is gently twisted in his bare hands, and a black crow falls on his shoulder, full of gratuitous sadness.

When it came time for Chu Luoyi to write, everyone had to re-examine the painting.

The man's posture is lazy, beautiful as a demon, adding a bit of demonic air to the lotus flowers in this pool, just like a demon who has fallen into the mortal world, charming all beings, but inexplicably sad, sad and lonely appearance makes people can't help but break their hearts.

The black crow on his shoulder stood on the man's shoulder, looking around, and the sky was overcast and sad, making people want to cry.

The old emperor saw that the two of them had put down their pens, and when the ink was a little dry, he ordered the palace maid on the side to hold up the two paintings.

Yu'er was originally full of confidence, and naturally no one could compare to his own painting work, but when he looked up, a touch of shock flashed in his eyes.

The two paintings stand side by side, their own brightness, golden light, lush greenery, and clear water, but it is difficult to attract people's attention.

On the other hand, Chu Luoyi's pool of ordinary lotus flowers, because of the simple black and white, although it was monotonous, but because of the appearance of the man on the flat boat at the end, it became sad, and the lotus flowers that had always been pure and noble became enchanting, hanging their heads, which made people's hearts ache.

Look at the lonely man again, like a goblin who has fallen into the mortal dust and can't be loved, lonely and lonely hiding in a lotus pond, looking for a little comfort, this world, it seems that only this pool of lotus flowers remains, and the black crow on his shoulder is with him.

The joyful music was diluted by this black and white lotus picture, and the sadness and heartache that permeated the hall were difficult to suffocate.

Chu Luoyi raised his eyes and swept the mountains and rivers of Jiang Yu'er, his expression was waveless, but he was not optimistic.

Mountains and rivers can be beautiful, can also be magnificent, majestic and magnificent beauty is probably only able to be able to have the world in mind can be expressed, this is difficult for fish to do, so you can only choose beautiful.

But no matter which one it is, the mountains and rivers map should pay attention to a stable word, mountains and rivers, if the ratio of mountains and rivers is unbalanced, it is turbulent mountains and rivers, and it is difficult to have a sense of beauty.

Although the mountains and rivers are not simple, they can focus on the momentum, although the painting of the river fish is exquisite, but the mountains and rivers are turbulent, and the momentum is naturally unstable, whether it is beautiful or magnificent, it will make people have a sense of disobedience, and it is indescribably awkward.

The old emperor looked at everyone's expressions and said with a smile: "The two paintings seem to have their own merits, I don't know what Chongqing wants?" ”

An old minister stepped forward and said: "The old minister has always loved lotus flowers, and has collected a lot of paintings about lotus flowers over the years, but I have never seen a lotus flower with such a bewitching and sad posture, which is really amazing."

"Yes, it's black and white, monotonous and boring, but it just makes people can't take their eyes off, and I've never seen such a sad scene painted with two colors." A lady spoke, her brows full of appreciation.

Jiang Yu'er's face was a little ugly, and he turned his head to look at Chu Luoyi who was standing beside him, and said with hatred in his heart, Chu Luoyi, why do you have to go against me everywhere!

"It's so sad, I'm going to cry when I see it." Han Ruoxi choked with red eyes.

Beiliuxue's gaze fell on Chu Luoyi and did not speak.

The lotus has integrity, but you prefer to let it be demonic, the demon is ruthless and lovely, but you prefer to let him be trapped by love, the world is complicated, but you prefer to use black and white, the crow stops for the carrion, and it refuses to leave when it is full of life, is it because of the heart that has rotted?

Everyone discussed in a low voice, some discussed the use of color, and some discussed the story afterward, and it was lively for a while.

Jiang Yu'er's mountains and rivers were neglected, which was really a shame for her, in front of everyone's eyes, no one ridiculed her and no one said that she painted badly, but it was precisely because of this that it was the biggest shame for her, indifference.

Turning his head to look at Beiliuyun beside him, he saw that his gaze passed through the layers of crowds and fell on the woman, with tenderness and infatuation in her eyes that she didn't want to believe.

Yu'er gritted her silver teeth, stepped forward with a smile and said: "Luo Yi is really talented, and this palace is willing to bow down." ”

Chu Luoyi raised his eyes lightly and swept over Jiang Yu'er, but did not speak.

Jiang Yu'er said again: "How can such a moving painting not have an inscription, why don't you ask Luo Yi to write an inscription for this painting?" ”

Everyone looked at Chu Luoyi, Chu Luoyi did not refuse, Jiang Yu'er walked to Chu Luoyi with an inkstone in his hand, and Chu Luoyi slowly wrote with a pen.

All love will be impermanent for a long time, life is more fearful, and life is in danger of morning dew.

From love to worry, from love to fear, if separated from the lover, worry-free and fearless.

Beiliuyun looked at the short two lines of words, and repeated gently, if you are separated from your lover, you will not be afraid of worry.

Bei Liuyun's fingers tightened a little, and he turned his head to look at Chu Luoyi with red eyes, Luo Luo, don't you want me anymore?

After putting down the pen, Chu Luoyi also stood in front of his painting, slowly losing his mind.

Jiang Yu'er looked at Bei Liuyun's focused look, and couldn't help but want to step forward and tear Chu Luo's clothes.

At this moment, the eunuch beside the old emperor reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the hour is coming, is the birthday banquet ready to start?" ”

Everyone came back to their senses, and their hearts were inexplicably a little sad.

"The birthday feast is about to begin, so please take a seat as soon as possible." The old emperor smiled and spoke.

Only then did the crowd move, and they walked together like their own seats.

Jiang Yu'er passed in front of Chu Luoyi and looked at her with red eyes: "Chu Luoyi, don't think you won." ”

Chu Luoyi ignored her, turned around indifferently, Jiang Yu'er looked at the polar skirt and stepped on it.

Chu Luoyi's back seemed to have eyes, and his fingertips lightly twisted a cluster of blue firelight, shooting towards Jiang Yu'er's feet.

"Ahh Jiang Yu'er felt a pain in her feet, her center of gravity was unstable, and the whole person fell to the ground at once.

Everyone turned around one after another and looked at the river fish that had fallen to the ground.

A pair of slightly round beautiful eyes were affectionate, and he was aggrieved: "I already think that I can't compare to my sister's superb painting, why does my sister still embarrass me so much!" ”

The fish reacted very quickly, looking at Chu Luoyi and accusing bitterly.

When everyone heard this, their eyes fell on Chu Luoyi, wandering back and forth between the two, guessing what this scene was all about.

The old emperor frowned slightly and said, "What's going on?" ”

"I was looking up to my sister's talent, congratulations sincerely, who would have thought... Who would have thought that my sister would laugh at me for being stupid and embarrassing, I was in a hurry to explain, but my sister pushed me to the ground! Jiang Yu'er choked and opened her mouth, and a teardrop slipped from the corner of her eye, looking pitiful.

"How can this Luo Yi be so open-minded? It's a pity that her outstanding painting skills? ”

"I have long heard that Concubine Beiyan Luo is vicious, and I have never believed it, but I didn't expect it to be the case."

"Could there be any misunderstanding? Concubine Luo doesn't look like this kind of person..."

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the fish sat on the ground, aggrieved.

The old emperor of Tanglin looked at Chu Luoyi and said, "Luoyi, what's going on?" ”

Chu Luoyi walked towards Jiang Yu'er step by step, looked at her condescendingly, and said, "Really? Since Empress Zaiyu sincerely asks me for advice, then make a ceremony of kneeling and bowing, perhaps, I will reluctantly accept your apprentice with dull qualifications. ”

No one thought that Chu Luoyi would open his mouth like this, and there was a sigh in the hall for a while.

Jiang Yu'er pointed at Chu Luoyi and said, "You... Don't go too far, you're lawless in full view..."

A touch of coldness flashed in Chu Luoyi's eyes: "Really? Since Empress Zaiyu said that I humiliated you, if I don't humiliate you, wouldn't I be sorry for the crime you gave me? ”

Jiang Yu'er looked at Chu Luoyi with shocked eyes, Chu Luoyi raised his hand and took the mountain and river map made by Jiang Yu'er before, and said in a hoarse voice: "The pen has four potentials, and the ink is divided into five colors, but you use ink and one color throughout the text, it is for the dead pen and ink, the lines are soft, there are no knots and no bones, it is for the dead lines, the mountains and rivers are unbalanced, the mountains and rivers are oscillating, it is for the dead landscape, the whole painting is lifeless, in my opinion, Queen Zaiyu, you are full of dead air, and no matter how bright the color is, it can't hide the inner part of the silverfish!" ”

Chu Luoyi threw the painting in his hand on the ground, and the delicate embroidered shoes lightly stepped on it.

Jiang Yu'er's eyes widened, her chest rose and fell violently, she resisted the urge to catch her, turned her head sideways to the old emperor and said, "Your Majesty, is this the hospitality of Tanglin?" ”

The old emperor was about to speak, but Beiliuhai stepped forward and said: "Empress Zaiyu is really eye-opening, when accusing others, it is better to ask yourself what good things you have done!" ”

Everyone looked at Beiliuhai in puzzlement, Beiliuhai pinched Chu Luoyi's wrist with one hand, and the wide sleeves drooped slightly, revealing the woman's snow-white wrist.

The two bright red scratches on the slender wrist are shocking, and the strong color contrast is shocking.

Yu'er's pupils shrank suddenly, and there was unwillingness in her eyes when she looked at Chu Luoyi, this was not what she did, she had never touched her hand at all!

Xiao Liuzi stood aside and said, "How can you, as the queen of a country, be so vicious, even if you lose, you won't brutalize our poor master like this." ”

"Shut up! I didn't, I didn't touch her at all, she was the one who hurt me herself! Jiang Yu'er shouted at Xiao Liuzi.

Xiao Liuzi sneered: "It's true that the master pushed you, but if you don't hurt the master with a sharp armor, how can the master push you away, and the humiliation you suffer is just to blame." ”

Facing the pointing and pointing of everyone around her, Jiang Yu'er was a little flustered, and subconsciously looked up at Beiliuyun, with a flash of hope in her eyes.

Beiliuyun looked at the red blood stains flowing down his wrist, a touch of annoyance rose in his eyes, and regardless of everyone's gaze, he strode forward and snatched the snow-white wrist from Beiliuhai's hand.

Beiliuhai didn't expect him to be so bold in front of everyone, and he didn't react for a while.

Looking again, I saw that Beiliuyun had already raised her wrist, put it to her lips and sucked it gently.
