Chapter 5 The Moon Concubine Niangniang
Chu Yun bowed, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." 《”
Qi Yunhui glanced at her, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, "Are you a famous painter recently?" ”
She smiled, "I wonder what the rumors are in His Highness's mouth?"
"The people in the palace say that the new painter is a peerless beauty, and it seems that it is really true at this time, the girl is beautiful and unparalleled, and she deserves to be the first in the world. ”
The prince praised it. She bent slightly, not going to her heart. Back then, she was the emperor of Chu State, and others also said that she was the first in the world, and it seems that the first in the world is not very valuable.
The prince looked at him for a long time, "What's your name?"
"The next girl's surname is Chu, her name is pity, and her nickname is Yun'er. ”
didn't want to steal Chu Lian's name, but she was also troublesome, so she even added a rhyme, and regretted it after speaking.
"Yun'er, Chu Yun?" This name seems to be very familiar. He tilted his head and thought about it very carefully, and then laughed, "It seems that the emperor of Chu is called this name, it is really a beautiful name, and the person is also beautiful, smart, and cute, I have also seen her dance, that year the Chu army returned to the dynasty victoriously, she danced in front of 10,000 people, although it is childish, but it is very overwhelming." Saying that, he sighed for a long time, "It's just that I don't know where this princess will fall after the fall of the Chu State, and it's reassuring to think about it." ”
Since the fall of the Chu State, this is the first time that someone will show such a sad appearance when mentioning his name, and he is actually the prince of the enemy country, which is really surprising.
She subconsciously saluted, "Thank you, Your Highness, for taking pity on the daughter of the fallen country." ”
He chuckled, "What? do you know this Emperor?"
Chu Yun shook her head slightly, "The lower daughter is from a humble background, how can she know the emperor, it's just that she is also a fallen person at the end of the world, and she just feels something." ”
"The girl is so kind. He smiled, his demeanor noble, like a green lotus.
Chu Yun always felt that the people of Qi were all jackals, and seeing this prince seemed to have a good heart.
"Your Highness just said that you want to find a woman to paint, I don't know what to paint?"
"It's a movable painting that my father has been obsessed with lately. I also think this is ridiculous, but the father thinks about it day and night, and the son also wants to do his best, and asks the girl to be more attentive. ”
He bowed deeply. Treat each other completely with the courtesy of a countryman, and it is difficult for people to refuse.
What Chu Yun has been thinking about every day these days is to make this painting move, if she uses a spell, she can only move for a while, but it is impossible to move from time to time, not to mention that the bracelet that Chu Xiaoyun gave her has the function of imprisonment. She didn't dare to use spells at will.
What the prince is asking for is exactly what she is doing at the moment, and there is nothing difficult about it, so she smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the prince values it, and the daughter will do her best to satisfy the king." ”
"Then thank you Painter Chu. ”
"Yes, if Your Highness is fine, the daughter will retire. She bowed slightly, turned and walked away. I don't want to have anything to do with these powerful people, more things are better than less. It's just that this prince is too close to the people and asks for this. There's really no need to visit by yourself.
Watching Chu Yun's back disappear, Qi Yunhui had an interesting smile on his face.
A eunuch stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, how is this Chu painter?"
Qi Yunhui's originally smiling face instantly became condensed, "Beauty is beautiful, it's just that people are a little colder." ”
"What do you think, do you meet Your Highness's requirements?"
"Let's make a choice first, this palace still hopes to find someone who is easy to control, this woman is too mysterious, if something goes wrong in the middle. I'm afraid that the mother concubine will also be implicated. ”
He is the prince of a country, how could he come to a painter if he has nothing to do, and he has been talking nonsense for a long time.
In recent years, the mother concubine is old and her face is no longer good. Apparently no longer the grace it once had. Although he has become the crown prince, his position is unstable, and he is in danger of being dragged down at any time, and his heart is sad.
In order to hold the emperor's heart, Hu Guifei deliberately looked for a beauty to enter the palace to serve the king this year, but she was only pampered for a few months. ignored it and threw it in the pile of harem women, which was completely useless. But that Mei Concubine inadvertently tied them up.
This time I made up my mind to choose the most desirable one to put next to King Qi to help compete for favor, and I heard that the new painter was a beauty, so I moved my mind, but he has always disliked things that are uncontrollable, and it is also a trouble for women to be too smart.
"Liu Quan, you quickly send people to various places, be sure to find a woman who is the color of the country and the city, appearance is one thing, the most important thing is temperament, to be gentle. ”
"Yes, Your Highness. The eunuch Liu Quan answered, and was about to leave, but was stopped by him, "Wait-"
"What else does Your Highness command?"
"You go to check, where does the Chu painter live?"
Liu Quan smiled lewdly, "Didn't Your Highness have a heart of pity for the fragrance and the jade?"
He laughed, it may not be pitiful or not, it's just such a beautiful woman, even if she can't use it, it's a pity to let it go like this. He doesn't like to be uncontrollable, but it's still a little challenging for his own women, and it's more interesting.
Women, of course, are not suitable for strong ones, and he naturally has a way to make them obsessed with him.
※
Chu Yun walked towards the gallery, thinking in her heart that when the King of Qi sent someone to deliver the decree that day, she felt extremely ridiculous, and heard that this king acted in an unruly manner, and he loved to daydream. I don't know how I thought of such a play, such a painting is not easy to draw, what if I can't draw it, what will be the consequences?
Now that the prince has come to the door to plead, he can't tolerate her saying no. It seems that we must first inquire about the reasons and come up with a solution.
Thinking like this, he didn't go to the gallery, turned around and walked towards the main hall. Yonglan, the eunuch who served in the main hall, she had saved his life, and the two of them were okay to talk, he served by the side of King Qi, so he should know something.
When he saw Yonglan, he pulled her aside and whispered, "This is a secret, if I say it, don't spread it." ”
Chu Yun nodded, "Don't worry, I won't." ”
He looked left and right, looked cautious, looked at the people around and said: "This is all a letter sent by King Chen, saying that he will come to the country of Qi in the near future, and he wants to fight with the king. The king is about to issue an order, if anyone can draw a picture of the enemy, a reward of 1,000 taels will be given, and the official will be promoted to the third level. ”
The bounty is not a thousand taels Chu Yun is not there, but this official is a little tempted to be promoted to three levels, although she is a court painter, she is the last level, if she is promoted to three levels, she is the head of the art gallery, and she can meet the king of Qi, and it will be much more convenient for her to realize her wishes when the time comes. The current owner of the museum is old, and he has reached the age of retirement, and he just has a place for her.
Saying goodbye to Yonglan, she went straight to Huayue Palace. If there is a good person in this Qi Palace, it is the Moon Concubine Niangniang of Huayue Palace. She just gave birth to the Seventh Prince a few days ago, and she doesn't seem to be in good health.
Concubine Yue is Li Shaoqi's sister, and she was able to enter the palace as a painter, thanks to the help of this mother. During her time in the palace, Concubine Yue also took good care of her. She is kind-hearted and has no quarrel with the world, but because of her weak temperament, her life in the palace is not easy.
There are countless concubines in the palace of Queen Qi, and she is not favored by the king, just because she gave birth to the seventh prince, she made an exception to seal the concubine, but King Qi will not come to her palace once a year, except for the occasional person who will take the little prince to take a look, and basically ignore her.
Chu Yun likes this moon lady very much, and she often asks people to call her into the palace to sit, but the palace is different from the people, she grew up in the palace and knows that she must keep a three-point distance from people, so nine times out of ten times she refused. This is not only good for her, but also for Concubine Yue. She has another purpose in the Qi Palace, and if something happens in the future, I am afraid that it will be involved in her.
However, today I am inexplicably restless, and I always feel that something will happen, this Qi Palace is calm on the surface, and I am afraid that it is even more weird than in the Chu Palace.
Although Concubine Yue is not very favored, but in the face of the little prince, all the furnishings here are still of the highest quality, and the hollow mahogany doors are carved with complex and elegant patterns, revealing a delicate and graceful temperament everywhere. The room is lit with precious spices, which are warm and sweet, and smell very good.
The palace maid lifted the curtain, and the first thing that caught her eye was a delicate triangular table, covered with fine brocade, a set of delicate tea sets waiting quietly, a screen followed the room in half, and beyond the screen was one after another gauze curtains.
A gust of breeze blows, the curtain in the room gently pulls up, dancing perfectly under the touch of the wind, and a slender figure arrives.
She has a pair of beautiful big eyes, rippling autumn waves, a straight nose, a delicate cherry mouth, perfectly combined in the face of the melon seeds, the long hair like ink holds the delicate flowing cloud, the hair is inserted with long tassels, with the pace of the beauty swaying slightly, rippling out a perfect arc, a pale green gauze skirt dancing with the breeze, proud crisp breasts, slender waist all show her beauty.
In Chu Yun's eyes, she is a rare beauty in the palace, a few points more beautiful than Concubine Feng, Concubine Xuan, and Concubine Mei, and I don't know if the King of Qi is blind, and I can't see how good this woman is.
As soon as Concubine Yue saw her, she smiled brightly, "I called my sister earlier, you shirked it several times, why are you free today?"
Chu Yun smiled, "I'm here to see Your Highness." “
"It's inside, come with me. ”
There was a crib in front of the big bed, and a baby was sleeping sweetly, with a ruddy face, not at all like a baby who had just been born. He slept soundly, his eyes were closed tightly like two threads, his eyebrows were like two crooked crescents, and his little mouth was constantly moving as if he were feeding.
Chu Yun looked at it for a moment, and suddenly said: "I heard that when His Royal Highness was born, there was a strange fragrance in the palace, I'm afraid he wasn't an ordinary person." ”
Concubine Yue "shh No one knew about it, so my sister pretended not to know. She sighed softly, "It's not that I'm too careful as a sister, it's just that when the national teacher spoke, it was also a strange situation from the sky, and the king of Qi didn't like him because of this, and the outside world said that he was the reincarnation of a goblin, and I don't want the Seventh Prince to follow in his footsteps one day in the future." (To be continued.) )
