The next morning, Fu Xuechen's letter arrived in the hands of Princess Zhiling.

Yu Zuo, who was a messenger again, handed the letter to Princess Zhiling, but took a roll of paintings wrapped in brown paper with wax marks in his hand and removed the wax marks with his hands.

"Sixth brother! You ...... "Princess Zhiling wants to snatch the painting back."

Yu Zuo relied on his height advantage to lift the painting out of Zhiling's reach, and said, "I can talk about it last time!" This time this painting belongs to me, you have to keep your promise, don't grab it! ”

Zhiling said depressedly: "That's also a letter from Sister Xuechen to me, shouldn't I take a look at it first?" ”

It makes sense, but it's too late! Yu Zuo had already torn off the wax mark and unfolded the painting, and suddenly, a girl with familiar eyebrows and eyes appeared in front of her, and the two brothers and sisters moved together and froze in place.

Princess Zhiling was surprised and delighted: "Sister Xuechen drew herself?!" Ahhhh Sixth brother, return my painting quickly! Take my portrait! This one is mine! ”

While dodging Zhiling's scramble, Yu Zuo quickly put the painting into his sleeve pocket, and refused: "I said in advance that this painting belongs to me, how can I break my promise?" If you want, you can ask for a new one! ”

Zhiling paused: "Sixth brother! Don't forget you're a man! Do you take away the portrait of someone else's girl, like words? Paint me my sister's portrait and I'll give you the portrait of me from last time!" ”

Yu Zuo raised his feet and left: "I can see you almost every day, what is the use of your portrait?" ”

Zhiling couldn't catch up with him, unwilling to shout: "You, you...... I、I tell the concubine to go! ”

"Don't make a fuss!" Yu Zuo was not threatened by her: "The imaging technique of this portrait painting is very useful!" I take it to learn the above techniques, I believe the mother can understand, you don't make trouble for me! ”

Zhiling gritted her teeth and sulked, she didn't even have the heart to write a reply to Fu Xuechen, and in the afternoon, she wanted to catch Yu Zuo and continue to fight for the portrait, but unexpectedly Yu Zuo and Fu Yuchen both went to the Qingwei camp, and from then on, they would not take riding and archery classes in the palace in the afternoon, and if they wanted to find him, they would have to wait for the literature class every morning in the future.

Zhiling felt more and more aggrieved, and after school in the afternoon, she really ran directly to Yanning Palace to see Concubine Xie.

Concubine Xie happened to be drinking tea and reading the script in the palace, and when she heard that Princess Zhiling outside the palace gate asked to see her, she was surprised for a moment, and the palace maid who raised her head to show her unexpected face asked Princess Zhiling to come in.

"Zhiling, please concubine Niangniang!" Princess Zhiling gave Concubine Xie a blessing, and her movements were slightly impatient.

Xie Guifei couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Zhiling is out of school?" Didn't you go back to the Xiu Palace? Why did you come directly to the palace, I'm not afraid that your mother won't see you for a long time, and you'll be in a hurry? ”

Zhiling raised her head, and the grievances on her face were about to overflow: "Sixth brother bullied me!" ”

"Huh?!" Xie Guifei was really surprised this time, and she never dreamed that Zhiling would come to the door to complain: "How dare he do it?!" Zhiling, don't be wronged, tell this palace quickly, why did he bully you? If he is really wrong, this palace will definitely make the decision for you and punish him severely! ”

Mama Zhao on the side also followed the old eyes, and looked at Zhiling in surprise, Yu Zuo has a gentle temperament since she was a child, and she is very friendly to everyone, why did she suddenly learn to bully people?

"The sixth brother took the painting ...... Sister Xuechen gave me"

Princess Zhiling told the matter one by one, and in the face of the concubine, she didn't dare to hide anything, and even agreed in advance as a reward for helping to hand over the fold and intercede, and this time the painting will be transferred to Yu Zuo.

The focus is on the back: "I also want to appreciate Sister Xuechen's work, but the sixth brother didn't wait for me to take a few more looks!" That's a portrait of someone else's girl! It's not appropriate for the sixth brother to take it away like this, right? Sister Xuechen also painted a portrait of me, I can exchange my portrait with Sixth Brother, so it's no problem, right? ”

Zhiling didn't mention what Yu Zuo said at all, he wanted to use the portrait painting technique to learn something useful, and he wanted her to help explain? Nothing! Wait for the concubine to ask, and answer by yourself!

Concubine Xie and Mama Zhao looked at each other, this ...... This is really unexpected, bullying is such a bullying method.

Concubine Xie Guifei's brain turned quickly, and she immediately instructed Mama Zhao to take out a pink pearl necklace from her makeup, and gave it to Zhiling: "This matter, it is indeed inappropriate for your sixth brother to do it, since it is agreed to be transferred by you, then it should be passed by your hand first, how can he rob it?" This necklace should be regarded as the palace to compensate you for him! When he comes back, this palace will scold him for you, don't be angry! ”

Pink pearls are rare, Zhiling liked it when she saw it, and immediately forgot all the grievances in the back of her mind, took it happily, thanked her again and again, and said that she would not care about the sixth brother's affairs anymore, so she left satisfied.

Concubine Xie asked Princess Zhiling to send her away, and said to Mama Zhao speechlessly: "Zuo'er actually took a portrait of a little girl, and she is not afraid of being known, what does this mean?" ”

Mama Zhao thought for a while, and guessed with a smile: "According to the slave maid, the little girl of the Fu family is indeed a rare beauty embryo, and she has not yet grown, she is already beautiful. ”

Concubine Xie was still a little incredulous: "Can't you?" Zuo'er is only thirteen, and he is only fourteen years old, so he knows what big and little beauties are? ”

“……”

Mama Zhao doesn't know what to say, people's judgment of beauty and ugliness is still divided into ages? Not to mention that Yu Zuo is thirteen years old, even if he is only two or three years old, he knows to be close to people who look better!

Concubine Xie shook her head: "Wait for him to return to the palace in the evening, and listen to him tell him what is going on!" Maybe it's all because we want to be crooked, and he doesn't have any other thoughts at all. ”

Yu Zuo, who had dinner with his mother and concubine in Yanning Palace that night, was asked about this before he had eaten a few bites.

Sure enough, the woman was unreliable, crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and just made the will to build a girls' school for her, and immediately sued him behind her back, but what she did was just a small painting.

Yu Zuo secretly complained to Princess Zhiling, but he didn't panic, took out the portrait from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the concubine, and said calmly: "Mother, you will know at a glance!" ”

Xie Guifei took it curiously, unfolded it, and was suddenly shocked: "This ...... It's so realistic! Is there such a magical painting technique in the world that reproduces like a real person? This seems to be the number of lines and the intensity of the brush and ink to express the distance of light and darkness? ”

Xie Guifei, who was born in a scholarly family, is also a talented woman who is familiar with chess, qin, calligraphy and painting, and her appreciation of calligraphy and painting works is not bad at all.

"Mother, the dishes are going to be cold!" Yu Zuo reminded.

Xie Guifei came back to her senses at this time, but she was a little reluctant to return the painting to her son: "Do you want to learn the techniques?" ”

Yu Zuo nodded: "Erchen feels that if this portrait painting method like a real person can be learned by more painters and used to arrest wanted criminals, it will definitely be more useful than the original portrait painting method, so Erchen plans to learn it by himself first, and then teach it after mastering the essence." ”

"I see!" Concubine Xie accepted his statement, but also felt that there was something wrong with him: "But after all, this is a portrait of a girl, and it's still a little bad for you to keep it, why can't you exchange it with Zhiling?" Isn't it possible for you to learn painting skills with Zhiling's portraits? ”

"Mother, Zhiling Erchen is too familiar! If you want Erchen to look at her face and learn painting skills, Erchen will lose interest, don't be unable to learn anything at that time. Yu Zuo mentioned Princess Zhiling with a look of disdain.

"......" Concubine Xie was silent by him, Princess Zhiling is actually good-looking, because she is young, the baby fat has not yet faded, and she looks a little sweet and cute, but when it comes to beauty, Princess Zhiling is indeed not as good as the little girl of the Fu family.

The little girl can be cold and charming, her makeup is a little thicker, and she can be stunningly beautiful at once, her eyes are smart and moist, and she seems to be able to speak...... It's like this at a young age, and when you grow up, you still have it?

Although Yu Zuo is still young, it is not surprising that he will prefer the portrait of the little girl of the Fu family, and he is not the only one, I am afraid that anyone will choose, and the result will be the same!

Xie Guifei finally had to warn: "Then you have to tighten other people's portraits, don't let others peep, don't easily lose or damage them, and don't let them fall into the hands of others." ”

"Erchen can save it!" Yu Zuo nodded solemnly.

Concubine Xie was still very relieved about her son, so she ate and drank with relief, and after a while she remembered and asked, "Zhiling wants to build a girls' school?" Or did you make it happen? ”

"Yes!" Yu Zuo explained what a girls' school was, why Zhiling wanted a girls' school, and how Emperor Yuan An agreed to build a school, and appointed the third prince as a temporary priest for the girls' school, and appointed him as the deputy of the sacrificial wine.

Concubine Xie listened carefully, and asked a lot about the constitution of the girls' school, and finally couldn't help but say in an envious tone: "What a good idea!" No one thought of this idea before, if there was a girls' school in the previous dynasty, and there were many sisters in my Xie family, all of them gathered together to go to school, and there were sisters from other families as companions, how fun it would be! ”

Yu Zuo was surprised to hear her mother so emotional, and she couldn't help but smile on her face.

Concubine Xie glanced at him: "What are you laughing at!" How could it not be such a good idea that you came up with? It's still Zhiling's girl Bingxue who is smart, and she actually thought of it! Thanks to the Holy Lord, a ...... who will pity his children."

Yu Zuo really smiled this time: "Mother, it wasn't Zhiling who came up with this idea, it was Xuechen of the Fu family." ”

"Huh?" Concubine Xie was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "It turns out that this idea came up with the little girl of the Fu family?" No wonder when she went back to the flower viewing party, she and Zhiling stuck together all morning, muttering endless words! ”

Xie Guifei immediately thought of the safety issue: "The girls' school is the first priority for men and women, and you can't let men outside sneak in, but it's the reputation of the girls in the school that will be ruined!" ”

Yu Zuo nodded: "Erchen knows!" What my father meant was that only the female gentleman was invited to teach in the school, and the guys who did heavy work in the school could be transferred by the palace attendants to guard the safety, and the female guards of Zhiling could be appointed in the school, and the Qingwei of the sons and daughters was responsible for the patrol outside the school, so that they could be safe. ”

Xie Guifei hesitated: "But the Qingwei under your command will be an adult in a few years." ”

She didn't mention the issue of Yu Zuo's adulthood, royal men always have some privileges, Yu Zhi is about to be crowned king, and Yu Zuo is also a prince when he is an adult, they will often take an inner servant with them when they travel, and they will not stay in the girls' school, and occasionally go over to have a meeting and make a decision, which will not damage the reputation of the girls.

Yu Zuo smiled and said, "Mother, if Qingwei can successfully find a way, I am afraid that in the future, recruiting teenagers to train in the direction of the Praetorian Guards will become the norm, and there will be no shortage of young guards to guard the girls' school." ”

Concubine Xie was relieved, and said with great longing: "In this way, when you build the girls' school, the palace will invite the ladies and school-age daughters of their families to come, and tell them about this in advance, the girls will be very happy!" ”

After happily having dinner in Yanning Palace, Yu Zuo retired and returned to his prince's office.

He took out the portrait from his sleeve pocket again, unfolded it, and stared at the vivid girl in the painting, with a hint of wisdom and playfulness between her eyebrows and eyes, and the memories of the previous two months came to mind.

I don't know why, those memories that I didn't deliberately remember, since the day I was in the Wenhui teahouse, I clearly recognized the other party as my companion, but after being denied by the other party, the other party took off the mask, and the touching face under the mask, as well as the past, were engraved into the depths of his memory along with his short-term thinking confusion at that time.

This girl is so bold! He couldn't imagine that he was accompanied by the other party without realizing it, and he spent almost two months inseparable!

Did she think about it, what if she was accidentally exposed in the middle of the road? Or what if your usual behavior is more casual, and you hook your shoulders and backs to inadvertently make it light?

Wrong! It seems that I have already done something frivolous!

Yu Zuo remembered that he had been speechless behind the other party, correcting the other party's posture of drawing the bow hand in hand, and he had also hugged the other party's soft waist and led her to dodge other people's attacks when Guozi was learning to fight...... That's right! How did he feel at the time?

I just think that the other party is so good-looking! And...... The body is so weak!

"......" Yu Zuo silently wanted to cover his face, thought about it, stretched out a palm, and covered the portrait, the girl's double bun, and the jewelry on the bun, if these are replaced with a man's simple bun and hairpin, then the person in the painting is the person under the mask on the teahouse that day.

Cover the good-looking and soft eyebrows again, and ignore the light makeup red on the cherry mouth, isn't it a close companion who has accompanied him for two months! The temperament of the eyes is exactly the same!

Why don't you care when you have it, and you always have to wait until you lose it to find that you don't cherish it?

Don't want to lose! What to do?

Yu Zuo squeezed his fist hard, there was only one way he could think of......

Thank you for the support of the book friend Qi and the shallow acacia with a wisp of monthly passes! Thank you!
