Chapter 425: Slow Work Makes Careful Work
"Miss Su, are you about to finish drawing?" Xue Sumei finally took off her previous gentle and virtuous appearance, and asked through gritted teeth.
Su Xiyun glanced up at her, and then lowered her head and moved her pen like flying: "Miss Xue." Don't worry! ”
Princess Duanning sat beside the queen, drinking tea and eating snacks, while listening to Su Xiyun say, 'slow work makes fine work', and almost squirted out a mouthful of tea.
The queen was already waiting and was about to doze off, and she couldn't help asking, "Xiyun, how did you draw?" ”
Su Xiyun raised the drawing paper in her hand with an innocent expression and let the queen and others see: "Niangniang, look, it's still a lot worse!" ”
The queen hurriedly stretched out her head to look, and Duan Ning also came up.
"Wow-" Duan Ning immediately exclaimed excitedly: "Xiyun, this is what you drew with charcoal?" It's realistic! The cousin in this painting is like being alive! I saw that Princess Duanning's face was only half painted on the drawing paper, but that half had already eclipsed the splendor of the hall.
The queen's face was also shocked.
Xue Sumei couldn't move, listening to the exclamations of these two people in her ears, her heart was like ten cat's claws scratching. I was very eager to see what Su Xiyun had painted her. But as soon as she turned her head, Su Xiyun immediately put back the painting in her hand and said to her, "Miss Xue." Don't move! Hold that position! ”
Xue Sumei gritted her teeth and held back, and put herself in the previous posture again. But because of the exclamations of the queen and Duan Ning, her heart was full of curiosity, and she finally didn't feel so tired.
However, Su Xiyun's painting took two hours.
The queen had already narrowed her eyes for a moment. And Duan Ning had already read half of the book in her hand, half of the melons in front of her table were swallowed, and the bright sunlight outside the hall did not know when it had gradually dimmed. However, Su Xiyun in front of the bookcase was still running her pen, as if she didn't know how to be tired.
Princess Duanning put down the book in her hand, staggered to Su Xiyun's side, stretched out her head to take a look, and then her eyes were full of amazement: "Xiyun." You're a great painter! It's just amazing! No, you have to teach me! ”
"You watch me draw first, and I'll teach you later when I'm free." Su Xiyun said that when she spoke, her eyes were still not far from Xue Sumei's side.
Princess Duanning didn't speak, but quietly watched Su Xiyun paint.
Xue Sumei, who was already blackened, saw Princess Duanning coming over, and although she was tired to the limit, she still persevered.
Another hour passed, and Xue Sumei finally reacted in hindsight, knowing that Su Xiyun was manipulating her, and she was about to drop the jade bottle in her hand when she heard Princess Duanning say, "Cousin." If you hold on a little longer, you'll be ready to draw in no time! ”
This sentence successfully stopped Xue Sumei's movements, she gritted her teeth and stiffened up, anyway, she had already persisted for a few hours, just this point, there was no reason why she didn't persevere.
But Su Xiyun painted for half an hour before putting down the pen.
As soon as she saw Su Xiyun put down her pen and announced that she had finished painting, Xue Sumei had already thrown the vase and collapsed to the ground.
"Miss Xue!" Several different exclamations sounded in the room, and the next moment, several palace people hurriedly lifted it up, and at this moment, the queen who was woken up saw the scene in front of her and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly, carry her to my side!" ”
Everyone hurriedly lifted Xue Sumei, who was soft and unable to move, to the chaise longue beside the queen.
"Why are you so tired?" The queen saw Xue Sumei, who was lying there tired and couldn't say a word, she said in surprise, and glanced back at Su Xiyun as she spoke.
Princess Duanning said disdainfully on the side: "Queen Mother, cousin, this body hasn't recovered yet, right?" It's just standing and letting Xiyun make a painting, and she's already tired like this! Xiyun is the most tired person, okay? She has been painting until now! ”
Su Xiyun snickered in her heart, but she hurriedly shook her head on her face: "The princess said that she was laughing, Xiyun just started writing, unlike Miss Xue who still has to hold the bottle, she is the most tired person!" ”
Even if she stood motionless for a few hours empty-handed, she would be so tired, but Su Xiyun was really angry and wanted to vent but Qi Ye was not there, but Xue Sumei, who was known as her childhood sweetheart, came to her one by one, if she didn't take the opportunity to retaliate, it wouldn't be Su Xiyun!
The queen listened to Princess Duanning's words, looked back at Su Xiyun again, and finally spoke: "Yes, Xiyun is the most tired person." Su Mei's body still needs to be rested. ”
Xue Sumei, who was lying on the couch, almost darkened her eyes when she heard this, and fainted.
The queen instructed the palace people to call the doctor, and then asked Su Xiyun to present the painting she had just made.
"Yes, sissy." Su Xiyun smiled slightly, hurriedly walked over to take down the painting on the bookcase, opened it and presented it in front of everyone.
Xue Sumei, though she was so tired that she had no strength, still struggled to poke her head out to look at the painting, which she had to look at anyway, it was a painting that she had worked so hard to stand for hours. Nyomaru longitudinal.
But when she saw the piece of paper, she was stunned.
In that painting, she is holding a vase, her clothes are fluttering, her smile is overwhelming, her posture is smart, and she is as realistic as a mirror, clearly revealing the delicate hair on her face.
This painting is simply stunning!
Judging from Xue Sumei's eyes that she has admired almost all famous paintings and has never seen them, Su Xiyun's painting is simply good. She couldn't help but want to cry, she never thought that she would be so beautiful when she appeared in the painting.
From this point of view, Su Xiyun did paint her seriously, without a trace of deliberate harm to her.
Excited, Xue Sumei immediately turned over and sat up from the couch, ignoring the fact that the queen and others were praising the painting, she walked over and snatched it from Su Xiyun's hand, and took it in her hand to look at it carefully.
The queen saw her excited look, and only smiled faintly: "Su Mei, aren't you tired?" ”
However, no one answered her, and Xue Sumei stared at the painting in a daze.
The queen looked at her twice, and then waved her hand to let the doctor invited by Mama Rong send her back.
After a long time, Xue Sumei turned around, she stared at Su Xiyun and said hopefully: "Miss Su, can you give me this painting?" ”
"Of course." Su Xiyun smiled slightly and said, "This painting was originally you, of course you can take it away, but I don't know ...... Niangniang" Su Xiyun said, turning her head to the queen on the side.
"Since Xiyun painted you, then you take it." The queen waved her hand and said, "If this palace wants it, let Xiyun paint it for me again." ”
Xue Sumei hurriedly said excitedly: "Thank you, Aunt Huang!" ”
The queen looked at the sky outside and said with a smile: "You have been busy from morning to now, you must be hungry, how about eating here in the palace before leaving?" ”
Su Xiyun and the others had no objections, and they all nodded in agreement.
The queen smiled and immediately ordered the meal to be served.
Xue Sumei was a little tired today, but when she held the portrait that Su Xiyun painted for her, she was very excited, and the eyes that looked at Su Xiyun were also full of gratitude, and she didn't seem to mind at all that she had stood for several hours holding a heavy vase.
This made Su Xiyun look at her with admiration.
Personally accompanied the queen to have a meal in a proper manner, and after that, Princess Duanning went back to her own bedroom, and Su Xiyun and Xue Sumei walked outside the palace accompanied by Mama Rong. On Xue Sumei's back, she was carrying a rectangular brocade box, and in that brocade box was the painting that Su Xiyun had spent almost a whole day making for her. Because she couldn't put it down, she didn't want to let the maid hold it.
"Xiyun, thank you for painting me so beautifully." Xue Sumei said to Su Xiyun with gratitude, at this moment, although her body is tired, she is also happy.
Su Xiyun looked at her happy appearance, and suddenly felt a sense of frustration.
"If you like it." She said lightly.
After leaving the palace gate, the two separated. When Su Xiyun got into the carriage of Bofu, she saw that the carriage of Xuefu had already driven closer, and Su Mei was poking her head out of her own carriage and smiled at her: "Miss Su, you have time to go to Xuefu to play with me!" ”
As soon as she heard this, Su Xiyun's face couldn't help but darken.
Are they rivals in love? Why is it as if this Xue Sumei wants to be friends with her now? What a strange woman!
Su Xiyun couldn't understand Xue Sumei, she lowered the curtain and hid in the carriage to ponder.
But there is no doubt that now she is not as angry as before.
When I returned to Bofu, it was already dusk.
Su Lao sent Mama Lin to wait for her at the gate, and when Su Xiyun got out of the carriage, she rushed forward and said with a smile: "Miss, are you back?" ”.!
Su Xiyun nodded, raised her feet and stepped up the steps in front of the Bofu.
"Miss, a big event happened in Dongfu today, and I always told you to go to Chunhui Courtyard as soon as you come back!" Mama Lin said with a smile.
When Su Xiyun heard this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at her, and then, as if nothing happened, "Is the matter of the fifth sister exposed?" ”
Mama Lin didn't expect Su Xiyun to get to the point, she was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, but don't let the slave tell you too much, you will know when you arrive at Chunhui Courtyard." ”
When Su Xiyun heard this, she stopped talking.
When he arrived at Chunhui Courtyard, Su Lao really sat on the couch covered with soft satin on weekdays, and when he saw Su Xiyun, he smiled and beckoned to her, and when Su Xiyun walked to him, Su Lao smiled and asked, "Why did you come back so late today?" ”
"Back to grandmother, the queen rose up today and asked her granddaughter to make a picture for her." When Su Xiyun heard this, she replied lightly: "After that, Niangniang left for dinner, so she came back late." ”
