Chapter 16 (7)

Shen Shiyun said with a smile: "What, my painting skills are getting unfamiliar day by day, so bad that you can't even save the evaluation?" Li Yijie said: "Where, is it...... It's good, and it's embarrassing. To tell you the truth, I had secretly prepared a gift for you, and when I saw this painting, I was really ashamed to make a move, so I didn't mention it. Shen Shiyun smiled and said: "Then wouldn't I be at a loss? If you paint a portrait of me, I promise, even if you paint it as a bull's head and horse face, I will gladly accept it, okay?"

Li Yijie said: "No, I picked up some wood and wanted to carve a small puppet in your image, but I carved it back and forth, and it was not always good to carve it, and I didn't have a suitable carving knife, so I had to use a sword instead, which was really incompetent." I really admire those folk miniature carving artists, an ordinary piece of wood in their hands, as if there is life, all carved vividly, so amazing. ”

Shen Shiyun said with a smile: "The ruler is short, the inch is long, you envy others, people still envy you, you are so good at kung fu, they don't have it." Hey, it's also interesting, the dignified martial arts alliance leader, Li Yijie and Li Daxia, the sword of recklessness and goodness has been turned into a miniature carving, and I don't know how your subordinates are going to say you behind their backs. Liquidated, these are all my sins. ”

Li Yijie scratched his head and laughed. The two laughed a few words, and Shen Shiyun asked: "You are a guest here, your subordinate brothers are far from being so happy, have you reported peace to them?"

When Li Yijie heard this, his smile slowly froze, and he sighed: "Not yet." I...... It's rare to have a few days of leisure and comfort, and I really don't want to worry about mundane affairs anymore. ”

Shen Shiyun said with a straight face: "This is inappropriate. They are all brave and loyal heroes, and since they regard you as the leader of the alliance, they are willing to be born and die for you, lest you make the slightest mistake, and they are probably looking for you all over the world, can you really be at ease? They have a wide range of doors, and some people may find out that you are in the palace, and think that you have been imprisoned, and they have raised troops to save you, and you can only add more unnecessary casualties and make me embarrassed, and you can sit idly by? Besides, you have promised me that you will help reconcile this dispute and persuade them to submit to the Qing Dynasty. ”

Li Yijie frowned sadly, and thought: "Are you so anxious, are you afraid that I will be ashamed of my brothers, or are you just worried about recruiting troops and teaching everyone to use them for you?" As soon as this thought came out, he immediately blamed himself in his heart: "No matter why, the intentions are always good, you complain that she often conceals it, but how can you trust her?" and said: "I am not good at eloquence, how to face them, I am really not half sure." But I flew the pigeon the same day and did my best. He got up and stood up, saw the scroll on the table, and said: "This painting ......" Shen Shiyun didn't explicitly say that he would give it away, and he didn't dare to take it.

Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "Painting, after you have carved my little puppet, let's exchange it with each other, it will be very interesting." Li Yijie said happily: "Okay! Okay! Then I'll ...... Shall I go first?" he was born with a more contented disposition, and had completely forgotten the awkwardness of the previous moment, and walked out of the door whistling. Zhen Ying hurriedly pulled Yin Yin to shrink to the corner of the wall, Yin Yin had not come back to her senses, her mouth was open for a long time, and she said in a low voice: "It's amazing, this is Concubine Yun's cheating object? Even the little tune has blown out of tune, her vision is not very good." ”

Zhen Ying sneered: "This palace feels very suitable, and only this kind of person is the most suitable for her." Hey, the wild man is going back to the room now, you hurry up, and when you see valuable evidence, you will take the sheep out and bring it out, and the palace will go into the house to explore Concubine Yun's mouth. Dressed up, he entered proudly, and opened his mouth to call: "Sister Yunfei?"

Shen Shiyun turned his head, his expression was calm, he didn't show any panic, and stepped forward with a smile: "What kind of good wind is blowing today?" Hey, speaking of the guards in the palace, they are really becoming more and more rude, and when they see their sister coming, they don't know how to report it. Zhen Ying said in her heart: "You complained about the guards clearly, but in fact accused me of sneaking in without permission. The fox finally showed its tail. If you haven't done anything wrong, why are you nervous?" also smiled on the surface: "Don't wronged the good people, I was afraid of disturbing my sister, so I didn't let them report." Doesn't it bother you, does it?"

Shen Shiyun said: "Where, I'm just painting on the post, which is not serious." Zhen Ying said: "I have heard that my sister's painting skills are a must in the palace, and they will be passed down through the ages in the future, and I don't know how high the price can be." Shen Shiyun said with a smile: "It's just a pastime to pass the time with a few strokes, how dare you hope to sell it for money? Zhen Ying said: "This is a joke, the most favored concubine like you still has complaints, how can we who are used to being neglected not want to live?"

Shen Shiyun said: "My sister praises falsely, and I dare not be ashamed." The imperial concubine has the suffering of the imperial concubine, and the real role is to decorate the faΓ§ade, and the second is to reproduce the royal bloodline, although she can enjoy all the glory and wealth, but the soul is extremely empty, and she consumes her life in vain, how much can she really have? Imagine that the spring night is short, but the concubines of each palace can only sleep alone, lying in the cold big bed, looking at the night getting deeper and deeper, the heart is really desolate, and occasionally the emperor stays in his own palace for the night, which seems to be a great favor. He is the most fond of the new and dislikes the old, today's favorite concubine, may be tomorrow's abandoned concubine, but he is not easy, he always has to be trapped by political interests, marry a woman he doesn't love at all, this is the sorrow of the emperor's family. ”

Zhen Ying was stunned for a long time, and almost reprimanded "boldness", and then thought: "If I want her to let down her guard and be honest with her, I have to get closer to her first. Pretending to be excited, he said: "It makes sense, this palace has long thought like this, and I don't dare to say it to others." Don't look at the appearance of the imperial concubine, but it is not as happy as a civilian couple, there will be gains and losses, probably so. The words changed and said: "But then again, as a woman, the most important thing is the name, the more noble the identity, the more you must abide by the way of women, and the fate is Ruosi, and you can only admit it." ”

Shen Shiyun sighed: "Yes, since she was canonized as a concubine in the palace, she is the emperor's woman, and her previous charming fantasies should be put aside and serve the emperor wholeheartedly." The harem sisters should not be jealous, even if they can't solve the emperor's worries, they must start up on their own and try their best to make him worry-free. ”

Zhen Ying said in her heart: "This is true or false to the edge of the sky, you can say it without blushing and heartbeat." He smiled and said, "If you want to be as open-minded as your sister, the palace will be too peaceful." I'm afraid that some people don't know what to do, and they always hold the mentality of 'not afraid of 10,000, don't meet in case', and think that they are doing it seamlessly, but they don't know that every move of everyone has hundreds of pairs of eyes staring behind them. I heard that a few days ago, there was a nobleman who hooked up with a little white face, and often had trysts in a secluded place. ”

In fact, Zhen Ying's words were purely made up, just a lie and intimidation, but it seems that the concubines who were secretly executed in this way are not a few in the palace in every dynasty and generation, so it is not completely groundless. Shen Shiyun didn't care, and said with a light smile: "Is there such a thing? How can this palace not know?" Zhen Ying said: "My sister is obsessed with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long, and she doesn't care about mundane affairs outside her body, how can she know? ”

Shen Shiyun said: "I see, my sister is very well-informed, and even the royal scandal can be inquired about. But knowing too many secrets from others may not be a good thing. ”

Zhen Ying snorted coldly: "Listen to the teachings, this palace should keep it in mind. And he thought, "Are you suggesting that I don't mind your business?" Hmph, it's not that cheap. Squeezed out a smile and said: "I said sister, look at your body and bones are so thin, and your face is quite pale, you should really go out for a walk with the palace, bask in the sun, always trapped in the room, and people will be locked up with mold." Shen Shiyun said: "Thank you sister for your kindness, it's just that the palace is quiet, and I don't want to go out and run around, causing trouble." ”

Zhen Ying muttered: "You can still attract bees and butterflies without leaving home, you fox is coquettish enough." Shen Shiyun said: "What did my sister say?" Zhen Ying said: "It's nothing, don't you hear that 'people sit at home, disaster comes from the sky', even if you don't want to cause trouble, the trouble comes to the door to entangle you, what can you do?" Shen Shiyun paced a few steps to the side, her eyes squinted at Zhen Ying, and said with a strange smile: "Yes, this palace is also worried about this matter, what do you say?"

Zhen Ying was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that she was sarcastic that she was the "trouble to find the door", and said in her heart: "I came today, if you whisper to me, kowtow a few times and beg hard, and promise me some benefits, maybe my heart will be soft, I will open my eyes and close my eyes, and I will not come to study with you, but you are so yin and yang, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, it has already angered me." She remembered the location of the portrait, while looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the table, pretending to unintentionally shake her hand, touching the painting to the ground, and quickly leaned over to pick it up, dusted off, and quickly scraped the nail of the little finger of her right hand on the painting scroll, and then put the painting on the table, and then pretended to glance at it casually, and praised: "Yo, what a handsome minister." Who is he? Sister, don't touch your heart?"

Shen Shiyun smiled and said: "This kind of thing is not easy to talk nonsense, does this palace seem to be a person who knowingly committed a crime? He is the in-law of a relative of one of my palace maids in the countryside, and he entered the palace to visit relatives a few days ago. ”

Zhen Ying sneered in her heart: "What kind of comfort is the pain of lovesickness for the 'other two', it is clearly the two of you! You are really a lotus, and your own affair depends on the palace maid, you wait for me." He still smiled softly on his face and said, "My sister really has a conscience, which maid follows you, she is blessed." Okay, if you don't say it, your stomach must be urging me to go quickly, so I'll be a sensible person, don't disturb my sister, and say goodbye first. ”

Shen Shiyun didn't hold back, and said with a smile: "Sister is going well, please come and sit often in the future." ”

Zhen Ying said: "This is natural. The heart said: "Then I still need to say that I must be more diligent than anyone else." I'm not a good wind, it's a typhoon, a tornado, it's a hurricane that uproots you and kills you!" I wanted to learn from Li Yijie's tone and add a sentence "As long as you don't get bored", it will definitely be enjoyable, but when I thought of teaching her to be vigilant in this way, I had to calm down because of a small loss, I turned my head to Shen Shiyun and raised the corners of my mouth meaninglessly, and walked out with my head held high, every step was clattering.

didn't go far, and saw Yin Yin standing nearby, also full of excitement, showing that he had gained from following Li Yijie. The two of them hid each other, opened their mouths together, and it was a tacit understanding between the master and servant, and when they saw that the other party was about to speak, they stopped together. Zhen Ying urged: "You say it first, hurry up." Yin Yinqian said: "Niangniang said first." ”

Zhen Ying was furious and shouted: "What this palace already knows, do you need to repeat it for you? ”
