Four hundred and two, painting plums
When the eldest prince was about to approach Lanxiu Pavilion, the wind suddenly blew tightly, and with the north wind, a cold aroma wafted over, and when he wanted to look carefully, he disappeared again. Wen? =≤≈.
Most of the plum has already bloomed.
Lanxiu Pavilion used to be a place to enjoy plum blossoms, and on the second floor of the pavilion, the plum garden is at the foot. Now it has been changed to Princess Yuyao's residence, and most of the plum trees have been circled. Princess Yuyao also said the day before yesterday that when the flowers bloomed, she invited him to come to enjoy the plum blossoms and drink.
It is said to be drinking, but one of the two people is weak, and the other is still small, and the wine is actually made of flower dew with a slight wine aroma but no wine taste, and it smells like wine, but in fact, it does not smell like sweet water. Princess Yuyao also said that she should soak wine with plum blossoms and enjoy the snow around the hearth, which is interesting.
Princess Yuyao had already heard the news that he was coming, and came to the door to greet her, and the eldest prince saw that she was only wearing a brocade sable shoulder, and she came out without wearing any clothes, so she didn't care about the cold and hurriedly said, "Go in and talk again." ”
Princess Yuyao smiled and said, "I'm not cold at all. But the royal brother, you have to wear thicker, I heard that the mother asked someone to make you a fire fox fur coat, why didn't you wear it? ”
"It's not snowing, and I can't wear that." The face of the coat is dark stone blue cloud brocade, the piping is gold wire twisted silver thread, the shining silver light of the stars when trying on the clothes is like a night star on the body, the prince feels a little luxurious, it is not suitable to wear on weekdays, and secondly, it is not without clothes, this new dress he wants to keep it for the New Year and then take it out to wear.
Princess Yuyao has the opposite temper with him, if she likes a dress, she can't wait to put it on for a moment, and in addition to changing it, she also likes to wear it continuously. She thinks very clearly, anyway, she is still growing now, and if the clothes are ready, it will be a season at most, and after the season, she may not be able to wear it next year. Besides, new clothes are brought in every season, box by box. The emperor is very generous to his daughter, always rewarding this and that, Princess Yuyao has never figured out how much she has been a princess in a year, anyway, she doesn't point to that life.
"The emperor's brother came by coincidence, so Niangniang sent two baskets of tribute pears over, Guo Shanggong asked people to take it and boil pear soup, and my brother also drank a cup."
Lanxiu Pavilion was originally a place to enjoy the scenery, and the original Changxuan was changed into the daily living place of the princess, and a long table was placed in it, on which a wide cocoon-colored drawing paper was spread.
The paper has just been drafted, and the painting is the plum that has bloomed outside Changxuan. She has not been learning to paint for a long time, but this painting seems to have a structure and artistic conception, but the brushwork is still immature.
Princess Yuyao saw him carefully studying the sketch, and pushed him embarrassedly: "What's so beautiful, it's blind." As he spoke, he took a piece of paper and covered the painting.
"The painting is good, and when the painting is finished, I will take it and hang it."
Princess Yuyao shook her head quickly: "No." "When you hang up, there are more people who see it, and it's a big shame.
Besides, she doesn't usually have that much patience, so it's great to draw two strokes. This time, I wanted to draw the scenery outside Lanxiu Pavilion on paper to show people.
Lin Minsheng has been gone for several days, and it has been snowing again in the capital, I don't know if it is cold there? He was too far away and didn't hear from him, and he didn't know when he would be back.
But...... When he came back, more than half a year had passed, and he didn't know if these plum blossoms were still there, and it was a pity that he couldn't see them because they were in such a lively mood.
If he paints it, he won't see the flowers when he comes back, but he will still have a painting to see.
She hasn't told anyone about this plan, and it is said that the imperial brother should not know about it. But I don't know why, maybe it's because she herself is a little weak-hearted, and she always feels that the smile of the royal brother when he looks at her has a deep meaning, as if all the thoughts in her heart can't be hidden from him.
Fortunately, at this time, the pear soup came in, and it was only by drinking the soup that the matter of the painting was diverted.
There is only a little rock sugar in the soup, and the pear flavor is very strong, which is different from the usual drink.
Wang Nianqiu stood aside and waited, in the past few days since she entered the palace, she has changed very much, and she is almost like two people before, and she is almost unrecognizable if she is not careful. She was finally not as thin and shriveled as she was before entering the palace, she had added some flesh to her cheeks, and she was wearing a newly made palace dress, covered with a red cotton satin vest, and her face looked a little ruddy against the clothes.
The eldest prince also had to admit that Wang Nianqiu's stay in Lanxiu Pavilion was indeed a good place for her. Lanxiu Pavilion has few things to do, Princess Yuyao treats the people around her very well, Wang Nianqiu eats and wears here, and the work is not heavy, and there are not many troubles like elsewhere.
Princess Yuyao asked her, "How is this soup boiled?" It's not the same as before. ”
Wang Nianqiu was a little apprehensive: "Does it taste bad?" ”
The eldest prince said: "No, the pear fragrance is stronger than before, although it is a little bitter, but the aftertaste is longer." ”
Wang Nianqiu saw that there was no displeasure on his and Princess Yuyao's faces, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "When the slave maid was helping to cook the soup in the teahouse just now, she peeled the pear skin and the core together and put it in to cook. ”
Princess Yuyao praised her: "Your method is quite coincidental." ”
"It's not a coincidence," Wang Nianqiu was a little embarrassed: "It's like this at home before, and I was reluctant to throw away the pear core and skin, so I cut out the pear flesh and cut it and ate it, and the remaining core and skin are used to cook soup, the bitterness is a little, but I can't drink it when it's hot, and it's quite fragrant." ”
Princess Yuyao smiled and said: "This method is not bad, a pear can be eaten once, and it can also be conjured into a soup, it is a good way to be thrifty, I think it is good to drink it like this, and cook it like this next time." ”
The eldest prince and Princess Yuyao have never lacked a bite to eat and drink, and they have never experienced such a thing as having to come up with a few ways to eat a pear.
The eldest prince heard something else in her words.
It wasn't just a soup, he heard her nostalgia for the old things and the old people.
Maybe she remembered the days before she entered the palace, or maybe she thought of someone who had also drunk this soup.
Seeing off the eldest prince, Princess Yuyao washed her hands and continued to paint that picture. Take advantage of the fact that there are fewer things to draw a little more these days, and when there are more things at the end of the year, the weather will definitely be colder, and there will be no effort to paint.
