Chapter 134: Yi Concubine
"You, let's go back and have a look, if it's not of great use, let's destroy it!" Xia Qingqing shook his head, "If it is really destroyed, it will really be used in the future, people say that he has painted it, but we have destroyed the things handed over by others, won't it be unsubstantiated when the time comes?" ”
Xiao Lu was also a little entangled, "Then if we don't destroy it, how many cabinets will we have to build to fit these portraits." ”
Xia Qingqing pondered for a moment and said, "Then find two painters with excellent painting skills, just that!" She looked at her palm.
"Just slap such a big picture book, make a few more blank pages, and let them free up all the picture scrolls that everyone handed in." "No matter how big the paper they handed in, they had to be scaled down to the same size one by one, and copied from this palm-sized drawing book." "In this way, if the volume of that painting is reduced, even if there are more, we can fit it, it is nothing more than a few more cabinets."
"It's a big deal to open up a house in the future, and besides, how can there be so much inspiration?"
Xia Qingqing said with confidence, Xiao Lu shook his head, "Master, it seems that you haven't opened that cabinet at all recently, right?" ”
Xiao Lu asked Xia Qingqing, she nodded naturally, "Of course, how can I have time?" ”
Her non-caring look really made Midori laugh, and she said, "You! Let's go back and take a good look. ”
"They can't wait to even draw the stones on the road, but they have no inspiration, they draw whatever they see, and they are afraid that they will draw slower than others."
"Second, what you said at the beginning, in addition to the signature, there is also the date and time, and even the hour and hour are written, and there are clear notes."
"One by one, they are very attentive, and you don't take this to heart, they sit there and ponder me as soon as they have the effort. I don't even know how many boxes I put in the waste paper that I painted. ”
"Ah, is that so?"
Xia Qingqing looked at the little green jade innocently, and said earnestly, "Then you go and tell them, don't see this, you have to draw everything and hand it over to me!" ”
"It has to be of some use, otherwise it would be a waste of paper and a waste of pen and ink!" Xiao Lu stretched out his hands to her and said, "Master, you should tell them these words yourself!" ”
"What do you think I am telling them now, that they can remember? And why should they listen to me? ”
"Like you said, you're paying so much to motivate them to do this, and if I stop it now, what will happen to me?"
"Bad guys? I'm not going to do this bad guy, you might as well do it yourself. ”
Xia Qingqing said helplessly, "No problem, leave this matter to me, I'd better come by myself, you can arrange the studio when you go back!" ”
"Yes Miss, I can do this." Xia Qingqing half-grinded his teeth and said, "You don't do anything serious, just do these trivial things." ”
"Are there any of those paintings that are yours?" Xiao Lu's fingers were entangled with each other, and he secretly glanced at Xia Qingqing.
said, "Master, the paintings I put are all placed on the top, after all, a few of us are the only ones, and a few of us can enter and leave your boudoir." ”
"Then it must be the first moon near the water, if you look at it, you must also look at my paintings first, right?"
"I'm the sweetest person you've ever had!" As she spoke, Xiao Lu leaned over, Xia Qingqing held a finger and put her head on her head.
Pushed her away and said, "In addition to you, there is Xiaoqing, and Xiaolan." ”
"What you just said, I'll go back and tell her a few people in the original way, you, wait to explain it to them!"
Xiao Lu stomped his feet, "Miss, how can there be such a thing as you!" Xia Qingqing clasped his hands on his chest and began to walk forward quickly.
"You believe I'm not going to forget about it! That's all! I'm sure you'll be able to coax a few of them. ”
"Miss, you wait for me!" Midori hurriedly chased after her.
As soon as he turned around, he saw that the people from Wuyang and Wuyang stopped, and Xia Qingqing walked forward curiously.
I heard a woman dressed in purple talking, this woman had eight steps on her head, and as she walked, the pendants on her body were jingling.
She said, "It's so good that this flower is blooming, no wonder the emperor is watching and not moving here!" ”
Another person said, "The emperor is looking at flowers, that's looking at people," Xia Qingqing was a few points taller than them.
When I put my feet up and looked forward, I saw a scene in the lotus pond.
It stands to reason that since this winter, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond have all bloomed.
Casually, although it is not frozen, it is also extremely cold, and I don't know who put a boat on the surface of this lake.
He was dancing and singing on the boat, so happy, and there was a stove around him, and he was in a mood to sing two sentences, and if he was not interested, he lay down and drank to the poem.
This woman happened to sing a ballad with her back to everyone, and when she heard it, it was the local oolong soft language in Jiangnan, the singing voice was sweet, and her voice was ethereal, and everyone was fascinated by it.
Only then did he stop, listening here, the emperor and queen were in the front, the queen looked at the water's edge, and said to the emperor, "It must be Sister Yi Concubine!" ”
"In this full palace, she is the only one who has such leisure and leisure, and will be boating on this cold water in the middle of winter."
The emperor smiled undiminishedly and said, "It must be her." She! Like a lark, wherever you go, you will sing. ”
Hearing the emperor's words, the queen flashed a hint of embarrassment with a smile on her face, she didn't expect to pay so much effort for the flower-viewing banquet.
Although the emperor was there in person, all the limelight was stolen by this concubine, and even then she couldn't show any anger at this time.
Instead, he said, "The emperor might as well send someone to invite Concubine Yi's sister over and enjoy the flowers with us." ”
The emperor said, "Hey, no, since she likes boating, let her go, let's go elsewhere." ”
As if he had seen through Yi Concubine's trick, the emperor didn't say much, and led everyone to the southeast corner of the imperial garden.
After taking everyone away, Concubine Yi looked back and saw that the emperor had long since disappeared, and kicked the boat in anger.
The queen is even more happy to see this, she wishes that the emperor would ignore Yi Concubine, and the women in the harem can only survive in this palace for a long time if they are favored by the emperor.
There are many people in this palace who have high eyes and low hands, or villains who worship high and low, and the emperor's favor has always been the vane of the palace.
If the emperor likes which concubine, which concubine will have one or two more dishes for lunch, if the emperor is disgusted with that concubine, then her food, clothing, housing and transportation are not as good as a palace maid.
The queen can sit firmly in this position, for so many years, she naturally understands this truth, but sometimes she is the mother of a country.
She can't show too much of the meaning of competing for favor, and the emperor is a woman who likes to read the general situation.
If she is like Concubine Yi and makes her petty character jealous, she will attract the emperor's disgust.
The queen mother, who has been in this position for so many years, must be the person who knows the emperor best, she knows best when to be coquettish and when not to be coquettish.
Just like today's occasion when monarchs and ministers gather together, it is too much for Yi Concubine to do this.
Fortunately, the emperor is reluctant to deal with her, and it is also because of her usual trouble-making nature, if this matter is done by another person today, the emperor is bound to be furious.
The queen mother glanced back again, and the many women who followed behind her, these people were all backyard women, and they naturally understood these methods of competing for favor.
She understood. Yi Concubine's appearance today is a complete disgrace, and it can be said that she put her face underground and stepped on it.
I also glanced at the emperor unexpectedly, in the past, the emperor liked to indulge in Yi Concubine's petty temperament the most, and he never cared about her in general, but he didn't expect that today was a little affectionate, and he didn't give it.
It is enough to see how cold-blooded and ruthless this man in the highest position in the world is. That Yiyi Concubine is also a woman who has accompanied him for several years.
In the palace, it is also regarded as the lord of the first house, and in terms of the current situation, it is uncertain what it will be like when it is rumored out of the palace.
And the most important thing in this palace is also some gossip and rumors, she dares to say that the whole palace can know it in a quarter of an hour.
Yi Concubine deliberately chose to take a boat on the lake when the emperor brought Master Puhua to the imperial garden at this flower-viewing meeting.
As a result, the emperor didn't even look at it, and left with everyone.
I don't know how smiling and generous it will be, the queen laughs secretly in her heart, with a smile on her face, looking at the emperor deeply, how can she not know that this is also the emperor giving her face.
If the saint really left everyone behind and went to find Yi Concubine, then everyone has nothing to say, the emperor's favor has always been freewheeling, and this is not a matter of national affairs.
No one will say anything, but will envy Concubine Yi and be able to win the emperor's love.
And she, the mother of a country, will fall into an embarrassing dilemma, if she keeps the emperor, she will inevitably attract the emperor's dissatisfaction.
If you don't keep it, everyone up and down will look at it, just like that, after the emperor is hooked away by Concubine Yi, her prestige will inevitably drop a little more.
She didn't expect that the emperor would give face like this today.
Maybe it's because she's very satisfied with what she's done recently, or maybe it's because of Master Puhua, after all, such a worldly master doesn't often enter the palace, and something big must happen in the future.
But if the emperor doesn't say it at this time, naturally no one will dare to ask.
The heart of an emperor is often the most unfathomable and unsearchable. She pretended not to know anything and continued to accompany the emperor.
"Master, you see that plum blossom is blooming brightly. In winter, there is a forest of proud snow, quite a style. ”
