"How is the person arranged by the palace?" The Queen Mother touched her sideburns.

In the past few days, the Queen Mother has felt more and more powerless.

Whether it is the affairs in the court or the harem, they all make him particularly worried.

Wuyue nodded: "This matter has been arranged, and after the Spring Festival, she will be able to enter the palace naturally." ”

"It seems that Hongu can only hope for this woman." The Queen Mother nodded.

At the mention of that woman, the Queen Mother couldn't help but think of a past incident in her heart.

The grass grows and the warbler flies, and it is the day of March.

Li Yan, who had just ascended the throne not long ago, sat in the palace in a daze.

The grandmothers and eunuchs in the palace seemed to be blind, and they didn't see Li Yan in a bright yellow robe sitting on the stone steps.

They came and went, talking and laughing, but they didn't bring the most honorable man in this palace.

However, Li Yan didn't seem to care about this, he had long been used to these people ignoring him.

It's one thing to get used to it, it's another thing to be able to accept it in your heart.

In the air there is no one to accompany and no one to speak.

The Queen Mother always has something to say when she speaks, he is only in his early tens, and he is too tired to understand what the Queen Mother said word by word, and Li Yan does not want to see the Queen Mother often.

He sat there in a daze, but heard a laugh like a silver bell.

He hurriedly raised his head and looked at the palace maids around him, he never dared to laugh out loud so presumptuously, who broke in?

Just when Li Yan looked around, he saw a pretty figure jumping towards him.

"Hey, that nerd, what are you doing sitting here?" A woman with a scent approached him.

The fragrance on his body made him feel a little happy in his heart.

The palace is either a eunuch or a grandmother, and he can't even find a little palace maid of the same age as him.

Turning his head, he saw that the little girl in front of him was about the same age as himself.

"Who are you? Why is it in the palace? Li Yan's immature voice asked the girl in front of him.

This can't be a new palace maid in the palace, right? But looking at the clothes he wears are extraordinarily luxurious, the palace maids can't afford to wear such beautiful and expensive clothes.

The little girl held her face and sat on the stone steps like him: "Before asking someone's name, can you tell me your own name first?" ”

Li Yan looked at the little girl in front of him with some surprise, there are very few people in this palace who don't know him, and this little girl in front of him is not from the palace?

"My name is Li Yan, what about you." Li Yan asked softly.

He was full of curiosity about the girl in front of him.

What's her name? Where did it come from? Why is it in the palace?

"My name is Lu Xiyao." The little girl smiled very cheerfully, "Just call me Yao'er." ”

Lu Xiyao, Yao'er.

Li Yan put this name on the tip of his tongue, muttered it, and suddenly remembered that the first emperor's Taifu was surnamed Lu.

"You're the granddaughter of the first master?" Li Yan looked Lu Xiyao up and down.

Perhaps only with such an identity can he walk around the palace recklessly, and no one cares.

"Ah, you know my grandfather. By the way, your name sounds like it should be the prince in this palace? Why don't you even have a housekeeper or a eunuch by your side? Lu Xiyao asked innocently.

Did she recognize me as a prince?

Li Yan did not reveal his identity.

In that case, it's better to misunderstand it like this.

Li Yan pursed his lips: "How can someone follow an unfavored child like me?" They all went to the emperor who ascended the throne. ”

Lu Xiyao nodded approvingly: "Like my family, those people know that I am a concubine, and none of them are willing to take care of me, when I was young, I couldn't even eat enough and couldn't wear warm clothes, but fortunately, I have survived now." ”

Looking at Lu Xiyao, who was dressed luxuriously in front of her, Li Yan didn't see that she was living a life of not having enough food and clothing.

But thinking about his situation, it was similar to Lu Xiyao in front of him, the two kept chatting under the sunset that day, and chatted until a grandmother ran over in a hurry.

"Why are you here, it's really worrying. Who is this? You don't want to mess around in the palace, if the queen mother knows, there will be good fruit for you to eat. The slightly younger Mama Liu reprimanded Li Yan.

not only reprimanded Li Yan, but also innocently affected Lu Xiyao on the side.

"Miss Lu, you are now a concubine, and it is already your blessing to be able to enter the palace, so don't think about some things that you don't have." Mama Liu put on a straight face and showed her prestige as a grandmother.

That's the way it is in this harem, if your status is not high, even the powerful subordinates can beat and scold at will.

Li Yan could only silently follow Mama Liu, and glanced back from time to time at Lu Xiyao, who was standing in place with a sad face.

Later, Lu Xiyao followed Mrs. Lu into the palace from time to time, and there were more opportunities to meet Li Yan, and from time to time she brought some sweet pastries or small toys outside to Li Yan.

But later, the Lu family was convicted, Lu Xiyao disappeared overnight, and Li Yan never saw Lu Xiyao again.

Thinking of these dusty old events, the Queen Mother sneered.

"Auntie, or Yao'er? Can he tell the difference? ”

And at this moment, Fu Yao, who was silently holding paint in the palace and painting on paper, had no idea what was about to happen.

Xinliu stood behind Fu Yao, watching Fu Yao fill the paper with a paintbrush, and looking at the man who appeared on the screen, Xinliu sighed.

"Niangniang, are you painting the emperor?" Shinyanagi asked curiously.

Fu Yao nodded heavily: "Yes, that's right." ”

Shinyanagi looked up and down.

There was a little amazement in her heart, she had seen the most powerful painter in the palace, and the paintings she painted were not as exquisite as those painted by Fu Yao.

You only need to look at it to know who the person painted by Fu Yao is, not only is it lifelike, but it is more like Li Yan is directly printed on it.

"Niangniang, the slave maid will dry this painting for you, these days are spring, and after the spring is over, this painting can be dried." Shinyanagi said happily.

Fu Jiao was also a little happy in his heart.

The paint used for this painting was bought by Li Yan for himself that day.

If there is no merit, this painting will be regarded as a return gift from her to Li Yan!

Looking at the lifelike Li Yan painted by himself on the portrait, Fu Yao was a little proud.

Her ability to draw with her hands was learned from her mother since she was a child.

Even if your mind is not clear and you don't know what you are thinking, you can still pick up a pen and draw little by little.

It's just that her mother told her since she was a child that she should never draw like this outside. Because those masters don't like to paint so meticulously.

In their eyes, the more you draw something like the original, the more you can't draw the real thing, so this kind of talk is not worth it.

This painting is the only painting painted by Fu Yao after many years that completely refers to the paintings of others.
