Chapter 328: Poetry and Painting Double Saint
Daming Palace, Zhongcui Palace.
The hostess of this palace was originally just a concubine from Wupin.
But just a day ago, Emperor Jiajing, the ruler of the Ming Dynasty and known as the first person in the world, issued a decree to mention the position of Concubine Xue Susu in one breath, that is, the concubine.
Rou concubine, so far she has become a rou concubine.
Who is the most favored woman in the Ming harem, at the moment when Xue Susu was promoted to concubine, there was no suspense.
But she was born in Qinhuai Painting Boat, and her status is so low, she shouldn't have enjoyed such an honor.
The ministers of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Qingliu officials, had a group of people who wanted to persuade Emperor Jiajing to remove Xue Susu's position as a concubine.
However, the Qingliu officials hesitated for a long time, and finally the second assistant Xu Jie personally made the decision...... Don't play!
"The top priority at the moment is to deal with the strict party, and not to make extraneous branches."
With just one sentence, Xu Ge persuaded the gossip officials who were about to move.
Xu Ge Lao's wisdom, no one dares to doubt it.
But only Xu Jie himself knew that if it weren't for Emperor Jiajing, who only gave Xue Susu the position of a first-class concubine, he really couldn't suppress the young and impetuous Qing gossip official with his old bones.
Fortunately, Emperor Jiajing did not let her be the queen.
Zhong Cui Palace.
Xue Susu made a spoon with her hands and served the meal she had prepared for Emperor Jiajing.
Pearl jade white jade soup, the favorite of the legendary Ming Taizu.
The delicate tribute imperial porcelain bowl was filled with thick soup, and Emperor Jiajing smiled slightly.
"Let Concubine Ai cook herself, the subordinates of Zhong Cui Palace are really useless?"
Xue Susu smiled lightly, but in her heart she was carefully figuring out the meaning of Emperor Jiajing's words.
The emperor of the strongest dynasty in the world, every word she says must have a deep meaning, and she must deal with it carefully.
"The subordinates in the palace of the concubines are all rewarded by Your Majesty, of course, they are suitable."
"It was the concubine who wanted to make His Majesty happy, so she secretly asked the imperial dining room for the recipe of [Pearl Jade White Jade Soup], and learned to make it for Your Majesty to taste."
"If Your Majesty doesn't like it, the concubine will admit the punishment."
Who would have thought?
The delicate and beautiful woman in palace clothes in front of her is actually the holy master of the painting of the Daci Dynasty?
The so-called 'painting skin and tiger is difficult to draw bones, knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts' is probably like this.
"You are my beloved concubine, where am I willing to be punished?"
Emperor Jiajing smiled, but let the soup get colder and didn't enjoy it.
"It's better to punish the next person, right?"
When Xue Susu heard this, he still kept a smile on his face, but his heart was full of alarm.
She couldn't guess Emperor Jiajing's thoughts.
If you can't guess it, it's an extremely dangerous signal!
"Your Majesty...... Who do you want to punish? Xue Susu asked cautiously.
"I can't recognize a few people in the palace of the concubine."
Emperor Jiajing pretended to groan, only for a moment, as if he had made up his mind.
"I remember that you have a personal palace maid named Ah Chang?"
"Just punish her, right?"
Xue Susuxing's eyes widened, staring at Emperor Jiajing!
At the moment, she is just an ordinary mortal.
A Mahayana realm of cultivation, all hidden in a self-portrait in the bedroom.
Is it self-exposed?
Emperor Jiajing wants a showdown?
Xue Susu secretly complained in her heart!
If Emperor Jiajing made a move on herself at this moment, she really couldn't even resist half a move, let alone assassinate Emperor Jiajing.
"Am I being deceived?"
"Except for cultivation, he almost always stays with me."
"Over the past few days, the reward for me has far exceeded that of the harem and other concubines."
"Could it be that I was confused, all his favors were disguised, and he only waited for me to let my guard down before I could do it?"
"Eldest sister...... It's all useless, this trip can't complete the task, and even your life can't be saved. ”
Xue Susu definitely didn't dare to imagine that once Emperor Jiajing made a move, he would still have the opportunity to escape back to the bedroom and liberate the cultivation hidden by the [Immortal in the Painting].
She closed her eyes and waited for death.
However, it was a long time before the fatal blow was delivered.
"Why is Concubine Ai crying?"
Emperor Jiajing's majestic voice rarely showed a trace of tenderness and concern.
"I just saw that Ah Chang didn't serve by Concubine Ai's side, so I was just joking."
Xue Susu opened his eyes.
As the Holy Lord of the Pure Land, she has been pampered for many years.
Once faced with death, he only regretted his confusion and carelessness, and then he shed tears.
But I didn't expect that it turned out to be a false alarm?
When the four eyes met, Xue Susu only saw the doting smile in Emperor Jiajing's eyes, and there was no killing intent.
She was relieved, and hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "Concubine...... The concubine's gaffe made His Majesty smile. Ah Chang's hometown had something to do, so she asked her concubine to take leave and return to her hometown for a few days, so she was not around to serve, and she came back in a few days. ”
"Oh."
Emperor Jiajing nodded casually.
Looking at his appearance, he is not very interested in a little palace maid, but it is very reasonable.
"Concubine."
"Huh?"
"There is a strange person in the Ming Dynasty, Tang Bohu, who is known as the 'double saint of poetry and painting'. This person entered the Tao with poetry and painting, and it is needless to say that his cultivation is profound, and his poetry and painting attainments are rare in ancient times. ”
"I know that Concubine Ai is very talented, especially fond of ink. In a few days, I summoned him to the palace and painted a portrait of his concubine? ”
Tang Bohu is not a person in the officialdom, but he is famous in the Ming Dynasty, and he can be regarded as the first Confucian cultivator in the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Jiajing's proposal, no matter how you listen to it, is to make Xue Susu happy.
However, Xue Susu's face turned pale in an instant.
The name 'Tang Bohu' seems to touch the past that she most unwilling to recall in her heart.
"What? Aifei is unwilling? ”
Emperor Jiajing asked while observing Xue Susu's face, looking very concerned.
"Aifei and Tang Bohu have an old relationship?"
That's a reasonable question, but it's also very sensitive.
Xue Susu is an Oiran of the painting boat, and it is reasonable to read countless people.
But she is now the emperor's favorite concubine, who dares to mention the past of the painting boat?
But Emperor Jiajing asked, revealing a trace of weirdness.
"Nope!"
Xue Susu blurted out.
"No, Your Majesty."
"Even when the concubine was painting the boat, she never saw Mr. Tang Yin."
She candidly mentioned the painting boat just to show that she had a clear conscience.
It's the truth.
But covering up lies with the truth is a trick not to deceive.
Xue Susu forcibly suppressed the messy mood, maintaining a gentle and sweet smile on his face.
"Concubines, just listen to Your Majesty's arrangement."
Night, very deep.
On the dragon bed, Xue Susu seemed to be sleeping.
She was held in the arms of Emperor Jiajing, like a docile cat.
However, the Holy Lord of Painting, whose eyes were closed, was extremely clear in his heart.
Xue Susu now has only one thought: Tang Bohu will enter the palace in two days to face the saint and paint a portrait of himself. If Achang can rush back tomorrow, he will definitely invite her to intercept and kill Tang Bohu halfway. If you can't come back, you can find another way.
Poetry and painting double saint Tang Bohu?
Looking at the entire Da Ming, I am afraid that he is the only person who can recognize his identity at a glance.
Because of his painting, Tang Bohu is her guide!
"Negative people."
"Why do you and I still see each other?"
……
…………
After sitting in Zhongcui Palace for a day, Xue Susu never waited for Ah Chang to come back.
She can't inquire about the front-line war, which is not in line with the identity of Xue Susu's harem concubine, and may cause exposure.
Xue Susu really didn't understand.
A prince of Wanli, a Chang.
The two Mahayana realm powerhouses went to Yunzhou, why haven't they returned to the dynasty in triumph?
Xue Susu at least knew that the commanders of the alliance forces of the Three Kingdoms in Yunzhou City, Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and Zhou Yu, were only at the level of the Dao Realm.
Xue Susu couldn't sit still.
Because, Tang Bohu entered Beijing.
The double saints of poetry and painting arrived in the capital of Daming today, causing a huge sensation.
In addition to profound cultivation and grandmaster-level poetry and painting attainments, Tang Bohu's uninhibited personality is also a major feature.
That night, the people of the whole capital knew that Tang Bohu, the double saint of poetry and painting, stayed at the Yanbo Painting Boat at night, and also ordered a new Oiran.
One night of romance, in Tang Bohu's chic life, there will be a new romantic affair.
The next day, Tang Bohu entered the palace to face the saint.
Everything went smoothly.
As a celebrity in the Daming Dynasty, Tang Bohu was unanimously welcomed by the Yan Party and the Xu Party.
Yan Song and Xu Jie, both hope to win over this powerful figure with fans all over the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Jiajing was also in a good mood, chatting with Tang Bohu about poetry and painting, and praised him endlessly.
"Tang Yin."
"The grass people are here."
"I promised Concubine Rou to ask you to paint a picture for her, I wonder if you would like to?"
"The grass people are willing!"
Tang Bohu didn't know who Concubine Rou was.
But being able to paint for Emperor Jiajing's favorite concubine is also extremely glorious for a savage like him.
Tang Bohu is uninhibited, but he does not despise the powerful.
In fact, he is the kind of person who has no choice but to choose debauchery.
"If you make Concubine Rou happy, let Your Majesty reward me. Since then, I have been in the court and got rid of the identity of the rivers and lakes, but I have fulfilled my wish to join the government for many years! ”
Tang Bohu was young and talented, at the age of 16, he was the first in the Suzhou Prefecture Examination, and at the age of 28, he was the first in the Zhongnan Zhili Township Examination.
Later, he entered Beijing to take the exam, and was imprisoned for implicating Xu Jingkechang in the case, and was later deposed as a minor official of the Zhejiang Domain.
Tang Bohu was deeply ashamed and resolutely refused to take office, so far he ended up in the rivers and lakes.
During this time, he fell out with his wife.
Tang Bohu divorced his wife, lived alone in the Peach Blossom Nunnery, and immersed himself in poetry and painting until the realm was completed.
All kinds of things in the past made Tang Bohu feel a lot of emotion.
Looking around the left and right, I saw that the Jinluan Hall was resplendent and majestic, and my heart yearned for it.
"If I have the right time, I should make the best use of what I have learned in my chest and build a golden stone!"
Tang Bohu thought like this, and suddenly felt arrogant.
"Mr. Tang Yin, please come with the old slave?"
In my ears, there was a strange voice that was neither male nor female.
Tang Bohu glanced at the other party and recognized it as a eunuch, secretly disdainful in his heart.
A dignified husband, or bowing in front of the carriage and horses, or the old and dead flowers and wine.
What's the matter with being a slave from the palace?
Lu Fang has served Emperor Jiajing all his life, how old is his vision? How rich is the experience?
With just a simple eye contact, you can know how Tang Bohu despises him in his heart.
The old eunuch's face was silent, but he still smiled and said, "Mr. Tang Yin, please?" ”
"Oh, good."
Tang Bohu nodded.
He suddenly felt in his heart that he couldn't go with important ministers like Yan Song and Xu Jie, and accompany Emperor Jiajing to discuss national affairs in the Jinluan Palace, but he wanted to go to the harem to paint portraits of women?
The work he does doesn't seem to be as clever as the old eunuch?
"Alas......"
Tang Bohu sighed.
He also admitted that he had been unruly all his life and owed countless love debts, which really made him have a sharp decline in his ambition to forge ahead.
Among the countless women in Tang Bohu's past, there are only a few people who are really qualified to be recorded in his heart.
"Is she okay?"
"When I separated, I was too ruthless after all."
"Every time I think of her, I can't help but regret it."
"I heard that she went to the Pure Land of Sanskrit, but there was no news after that."
"How many years have passed, and we have not had the chance to see each other again."
"When I enter the palace today, Your Majesty may leave me in the court for reuse."
"Da Ming and Da Ci are hostile, I just hope that the two of us don't meet on the battlefield."
Tang Bohu thought for a while, and soon came to Zhongcui Palace.
"Mr. Tang Yin, we're here."
Standing in front of the gate of Zhongcui Palace, Lu Fangpi reminded with a smile.
"Mr. is a man, don't follow the rules in the harem, don't bump into the girls."
Tang Bohu disagreed, and said in his heart, I use you old slave to teach me to be a man?
"Please rest assured, Tang Mouxiao is a measure."
He responded casually, and stepped into the Zhongcui Palace, but he didn't notice that Lu Fang stayed outside the palace and didn't continue to follow.
As soon as he entered the palace, Tang Bohu felt an inexplicably strange sense of familiarity.
Long?
Déjà vu?
He took a closer look and found that the flowers and plants in Zhong Cui's palace were all newly transplanted.
In particular, there are many scarce peach blossoms, which are his favorites!
"Bi peach, Wuling color, early picking, thousand petal peach...... Obediently, the palace is really extraordinary, many peach seeds I have been searching for many years without results, but they are all here? ”
After all, Tang Bohu is a person from the rivers and lakes, and his thinking is out of the way and he doesn't know the depths.
He thought to himself: "That lady doesn't know beauty or ugliness, I'll try to paint her as beautiful as possible." If I can make my mother happy, I beg her to give me a few saplings and let me transplant them to the Peach Blossom Temple. ”
All the way to the main hall of Zhongcui Palace, Tang Bohu still did not see Concubine Rou.
He was getting impatient.
"The emperor is still a corporal and a virtuous corporal, and he has invited me as a guest of honor."
"This Rou Guifei really doesn't know what to do, with the name of Tang's poetry and painting double saints, she didn't come out to greet her?"
Tang Bohu thought like this, and his face was a little ugly.
Thanks to the fact that this is the Imperial Palace.
If it was just an ordinary rich family, or even a vassal king and prince, he might have left a long time ago.
After a long time, a beautiful and indifferent woman's voice came from the main hall of Zhong Cui Palace.
“…… Is it Tang Yin? ”
Tang Bohu was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart how to call him by his name, this lady was also arrogant.
But then he realized that something was wrong, because the woman's voice was familiar.
Suddenly!
Tang Bohu's face changed greatly!
"You, you, you......"
Although they have been separated for many years, her voice has always been imprinted in Tang Bohu's mind.
At this moment, the memory was awakened, and Tang Bohu stammered in surprise.
After a long time, he exclaimed, "Aren't you in the Pure Land of Sanskrit?" Why are you running here?! ”
Inside the main hall, the woman sighed faintly.
"How many years have passed, and your temperament is still like this."
She was disappointed and hated.
This man's talent once made her fall in love.
But this man's temperament is really too bad.
Mo said that compared with Emperor Jiajing, even many civil and military courtiers of the Ming Dynasty were much deeper and more stable than him.
"You're still like this, but fortunately I asked the palace people to step down in advance, so as not to hear your nonsense."
Xue Susu stepped out of the main hall and stood in front of Tang Bohu.
Her tone suddenly softened: "I haven't seen you for many years, have you ever had any regrets?" ”
Tang Bohu was originally frightened inexplicably.
The people of the Daci Dynasty are hiding in the harem of the Ming Dynasty, what is their intention?
But when he heard Xue Susu's question, he was immediately diverted.
The past came to mind, and Tang Bohu immediately remembered that he had lost the imperial examination, regretted for a while that he had been addicted to alcohol, and became angry with the beauty next to him.
When he left with a negative spirit, he abandoned the beautiful woman and ignored it, and even polluted it as a red face and a disaster.
But how many years passed, and he only kept a few years of purity and self-discipline, and then he made the same mistake again.
is still lingering in the Qinglou painting boat, indulging in lust, so that he has spent most of his life in the rivers and lakes.
"Susu, I ......"
