The white smoke floats, and the duck's beak is beautiful; The red candle light is warm, shaking and illuminating the scroll.

It didn't fall at night, but at the beginning of Shen, the room was already dim, and the window was pasted with white mulberry paper that could resist the wind and soak in the light, but because of the dim skylight, there was an extra layer of barrier after all, which made people who woke up after a nap have the illusion that it is evening.

Yingyang's real hair is not as good as the hairpin, leaning on a few, although the mind has been completely sober under the amusement of eleven niang and Shen Hook gossip, just because of the remaining wisps of soothing incense in the golden duck incense burner, the melancholy breath still makes the waist bones lazy, and the sound of the wind rolling outside the house from time to time is mixed with the light sound of cold rain falling tiles, which makes people more and more reluctant to go out.

From the early fall of the first snow, throughout October, it seems that the wind and snow are followed by continuous cold rain, and there is no time to clear up.

Even if being trapped indoors is somewhat annoying, the frost and rain outside are undoubtedly more annoying.

At this time, the room had already lit a lamp and candle, and Shen Hook was still holding a lamp, shining on a picture scroll that Shi Niang slowly unfolded.

The painting is a hibiscus brocade chicken, and the lines, coloring, and composition are impeccable.

"This year's annual exam, excellent." Yingyang smiled slightly: "Yiyi, there is nothing to teach and teach as a teacher in the future." ”

The student is not yet ten years old, and his attainments in painting skills can be blue, although Yingyang feels happy and cherished, but the tone is not without melancholy: "Your senior sister Wu Dan is still far inferior to your skills at this age, especially in Gongbi. Speaking of this, Yingyang paused slightly: "Even freehand, although you are similar to Wu Dan's brushwork, you are also more lean." ”

The two of them are from the same school, even if the penmanship is close, it is not a strange thing, not to mention that Eleven Niang has been the old work of Linmo Pu Jiayi at the beginning of the "practice", but she is still working hard in the dark, and in the past four years, she has practiced more lean techniques than back then, especially in the previous life, compared with the clumsy strokes, there are not many traces of imitation.

Eleven Niang knew Yingyang's temperament, and she couldn't listen to the verbal pretense of modesty, and she didn't say those clichés that were still insufficient, but only bowed and thanked her very solemnly: "Students can have today's results, thanks to the teaching and supervision of real people." ”

"Your talent is extraordinary, rare is not complacent, these four years of excellence and hard practice, in order to get this skillful painting skills at a young age, the Queen Mother some time ago made a decree, let my teachers and students each draw a long scroll for the collection, my peony pen has been painted, you prepare a freehand." Yingyang thoughtfully: "Although you prefer Gongbi, I always think that Yu Freehand may be more talented, in the future, there will be more appreciation of natural accumulation, figuring out the artistic conception, and future achievements will far exceed that of the teacher and your sister." ”

Eleven Niang did not want to mention more "senior sister" to cause real people to be sad, not to mention that she has other intentions today, is just to make a promise, and to see the peony picture that Yingyang real person is ready to offer, in the end to get what she wants, six feet long scroll, ink purple Yao yellow peony colorful gorgeous and graceful, but Eleven Niang knows that Yingyang real people although for many years do not paint freehand, only willing to use a pen to show people, so that most of the people in the world think that Yingyang is good at the pen and not good at freehand, in fact, the freehand landscape of real people is worthy of the value of a thousand gold, real people paint the brush, Although it cannot be said that there is no intention, the pen is ruthless.

Some people are no longer in the world, they have been dead for many years, and their affection is also deeply imprisoned, so that they can no longer hurt themselves.

But when Eleven Niang saw this colorful and gorgeous scroll, she just wanted to sigh at this time.

But of course she still held back, and when the maidservants put away the picture scrolls, she said to Yingyang: "Zhenren, a few days ago, my grandmother mentioned to the students that the Queen Mother intends to let the students enter the palace and read for Princess Tong'an...... I'm afraid that in the coming year, students won't have much time to serve real people......"

Seeing that the real person suddenly restrained her smile, Eleven Niang subconsciously sat up straight and stopped reclining, becoming more and more empty.

She had expected that the real person would immediately object, but what she was waiting for was a long silence.

It wasn't until a layer of hot sweat had already formed on the spine of Eleven Niang that Yingyang asked, "Since you opened your mouth to me, you should have made up your mind...... Want to get into the palace? ”

Although she didn't directly object, her heavy tone obviously revealed the worries of the real person, but Eleven Niang was indeed determined to make up her mind as soon as possible, so she secretly gritted her teeth and admitted under pressure: "Although grandmother is a sister with the queen mother's family, the queen mother has always been wary of the Liu Mansion, and the reason why it is only on guard is that the Liu family still has a place to help and use, and of course the grandmother is unwilling to disobey the queen mother in these small things, laying hidden dangers for the safety of the family." ”

Regarding the Liu family's plan to be Pei Zheng Zhaoxue, Eleven Niang did not hide the real person, of course, this is out of wholehearted trust, and it is now that she can use this as an excuse to persuade the real person to agree, she was about to comfort the real person with long-planned words, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by Yingyang.

"Yiyi, about your senior sister, I don't know how much you know, I just want to tell you that because of a thought, I failed to prevent Wu Dan from entering the palace, which caused her to break the deep palace at the age of her flower, and the teacher is still ashamed." Yingyang closed his eyes, restrained his emotions vigorously, and said again after a long pause: "You don't know the Queen Mother, just like I didn't know her at the beginning, and I didn't remind Wu Dan to guard against Webster." ”

Eleven Niang almost couldn't help but persuade - even if she didn't enter the palace back then, as long as her grandfather opposed the queen mother's interference, Pei Zheng's disaster could not be avoided, and her grandfather would not have the trust of the emperor anyway, and sat back and watched the Son of Heaven become a puppet of the harem, Pei Zheng's clan was destroyed, and her fate would not change in any way, this is not the fault of the real person, in the situation back then, the real person could not save her, and rash action only implicated herself.

"I don't want you to repeat the mistakes of Ottan, but I also know that you have responsibilities and risks that you must shoulder." Yingyang followed closely and said: "Be careful of the Queen Mother, don't be careless, don't be deceived by her superficial kindness, and don't let the Queen Mother see through your guard, Yiyi, you have to be prepared, your opponent is ruthless and vicious, Empress Dowager Wei will never trust anyone, for her, the chess pieces are useless or useless, it all depends on whether the chess pieces have any effect, Yiyi, once you choose this path, you can't turn back, the future will be difficult and dangerous, life and death may only be tied to the Queen Mother's thoughts." ”

Yingyang held the student's hand tightly: "Once you are willing to become the queen mother to control the chess pieces, there is no choice for many things, the family can't help you, and I, the teacher, can only sit and watch, you don't have the luxury of freedom, because in the future, you can only be involuntarily, maybe the four words of peace and joy, for you, even expecting it will become dangerous, and even one day, the queen mother can no longer become a threat, and you have long been trapped in the situation of fighting for power, and you can't get out, only when you let go after death, is liberated." ”

Eleven Niang was stunned, of course, not because Yingyang Zhenren reminded her that she was not prepared, but because of the attitude of Zhenren.

It seems that in the end, I still have insight into some things, and I have already thought that some things cannot be avoided.

"If you decide, don't waver, no one or anything is no longer your concern and concern." Yingyang sighed softly: "Protect yourself, Yiyi, you have to live no matter what, no matter how hard and tired you are, don't relax." ”

Eleven Niang bowed deeply, and couldn't help but choke up a little in her tone: "Don't worry, the student union is safe." ”

No matter how much it is, it will be useless.

When she returned to her residence, Eleven Niang saw that He Zhan was already waiting in the hospital.

"How, my aunt agreed?" Seeing Shi Niang's solemn expression, He Zhan was really hesitant to ask.

"Auntie must have noticed something."

He Zhan was silent, and sighed for a long time: "When you decided to worship your aunt as a teacher again, you should have thought that you would be seen." ”

"In order to enter the palace smoothly, I did use my aunt, but if I don't worship my aunt as a teacher, I will show my painting skills in order to become famous, and it will cause the queen mother to be suspicious, as long as my aunt looks at my paintings, she will also see the clues." Eleven Niang also sighed.

He Zhan bent his finger knocked on the door of his head: "You must say that you are so utilitarian?" You approached your aunt, obviously for fun, and your aunt was by your side, and she was no longer as depressed as before...... Even if my aunt sees the clues, she won't be sure of your identity, she should only think that you are an emperor star servant. ”

"I hope that as we expect, King Jin is the so-called emperor star, not another Adou." Eleven Niang's eyebrows frowned slightly: "As a daughter of the clan, Auntie has never forgotten the brother-sister friendship of the first emperor, and dealing with the Queen Mother will not make Auntie in a dilemma, if it is ...... For the sake of the overall situation, we have no choice but to help Zuo's surname to seize the position, how will my aunt deal with herself? ”

He Zhan bowed: "Therefore, my master also told me not to tell my aunt your identity." ”

"By the way, how much can you read through that Jin Kui suicide note?" Hearing He Zhan mention Master Ling Xu, Eleven Niang thought of the Taoist secretary who came to Shangqingguan to hand over to the real person three years ago.

He Zhan spread his hands: "I know all the words in the book, but I don't know the meaning behind those words, it seems that I am definitely not a destined person, why not hand over this secretary to Ning Zhi and Lu Li, and see if the two of them can understand it." ”

After speaking, He Zhan touched his chin and reminded with a smile: "Eleven Niang, don't forget, there will be a gathering in Yuweixuan tomorrow." ”
