The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 293
Although Xie Xi is an unfavored prince, there is a huge disparity in status after all.

Even with Concubine Tang Zhuang as her backer, Nanny Lu had no choice but to retreat out angrily.

"A slave in Changle Palace actually wants to take advantage of my concubine, she really is lawless!"

After Nanny Lu left, Xie Xi said with a gloomy face: "I will never finish this matter with Concubine Tang Zhuang! Isn't she more disciplined? Tomorrow I will take this slave into the palace and let her treat Concubine Tang Zhuang Show me your face."

"It's just a slave, why bother to get angry with him?"

A hint of cunning flashed across Lin Zisu's face: "In the end, this is a matter in the backyard. Let me do it. There will be many people to deal with in the future. I can't always let the fourth brother take the lead for me."

Hearing that there was something in Lin Zisu's words, Xie Xi immediately became interested and asked about Lin Zisu's plans.

Lin Zisu clung to Xie Xi's ear and whispered a few words.

Xie Xi sized Lin Zisu up a few times, and said with a smile, "This has always been my forte, but I let you learn it. Tell me, is it 'Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog'?"

Lin Zisu blushed in embarrassment, pushed Xie Xi's back lightly, and said, "It's up to you! Didn't Madam Lu hold a chicken feather as an arrow, I just wanted to see if something went wrong, her master Do you dare to support her?"

Xie Xi was originally a person who was afraid of chaos in the world. After hearing Lin Zisu's words, he clapped his hands and praised: "When you get it, I will add fire to you!"

The two of them didn't take it to heart about a trivial matter.

The purpose of Xie Xi's visit tonight, besides caring about Lin Zisu, is mainly to talk about another important matter.

"Susu, my father asked me to tell you something about my grandfather, he has already taken care of it, so you can rest assured."

Lin Zisu was overjoyed immediately, and then thought that this was the emperor's compensation for her.

The emperor wanted to use his grandfather, but behind the grandfather was the Lin family.

In terms of emotion and reason, the emperor would not abandon Bi Suinan at this time.

Lin Zisu asked about the details, Xie Xi lowered his voice and said, "Cao Lang returned to the capital from Jiangnan the day before yesterday, and it is said that he has a lot of criminal evidence in his hands."

Lin Zisu immediately understood that it must be the emperor's top-down pressure, coupled with Cao Lang's deterrence, that made those aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River be cautious and dare not continue to make trouble.

"Father also made concessions and suspended the opening of the sea ban."

Xie Xi sighed, and said: "Father said that this matter will be done after the second brother succeeds to the throne. Father doesn't even think about it. Even if the second brother becomes the emperor, does he have such courage?"

Lin Zisu also agrees with Xie Xi's statement very much, but judging Xie Yao in front of Xie Xi, after all, is a little uncomfortable, so he changed the subject, raised the scroll in his hand and asked: "Fourth brother, what do you want to send?" What is mine?"

Xie Xi couldn't hide the pride on his face, and said, "Open it and have a look."

Lin Zisu felt that the drawing paper was thick and tough, which was quite different from the paper in Zhongtu.If you unfold it, you can see that the painting depicts a young girl sitting on a crescent moon, frowning and meditating.

That girl has a high nose and deep eyes, she is not a Dayan person at first glance, but the expression on her face is vivid, just like a real person.

And this painting is different from Dayan's current painting, no matter the paper or the brush and ink used.

She caressed the light and dark light and shadow on the painting fondly, and asked, "Is this a Western painting?"

Seeing Lin Zisu's excited face, Xie Xi was very happy, and the haze accumulated by Madam Lu was swept away, and said: "Today, a Western painter came to the palace. I found it interesting, so I went to see it." He asked for a painting back there. I don’t know how he painted it, but it can be so realistic.”

"Da Yan's paintings only draw bright spots and do not draw shadows, so the faces and bodies of the people drawn are straight and flat, without concave and convex. Western paintings have both yin and yang, and there is a distinction between high and low light and dark. As long as ordinary portraits face the light, the Naturally, the whole body is bright when painted, but if the portrait is standing sideways, the side facing the light will be bright, and the side facing away from the light will have dark shadows in the recesses of the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and mouth. This way of painting can make the portrait look like a stranger."

Xie Xi has no interest in painting skills, and the reason why he came to send the paintings is something else.

"Susu, I've inquired. The painter lives in the Huitong hall. After a few days, let's go find him together."

Lin Zisu didn't think Xie Xi would be interested in this painter, so she asked what happened.

Xie Xi didn't hide anything, and said with a smile: "I was thinking, you are much prettier than the woman in this painting, if you can make it painted by an artist, you must be radiant."

Lin Zisu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but in the end she couldn't hold back Xie Xi's stubbornness.

Moreover, she is very curious about Western paintings, and she also wants to see how Western paintings are made.

After Xie Xi left, Lin Zisu studied the painting until midnight, and only reluctantly went to bed when she heard the cock crowing in the backyard.

In the early morning of the next day, just after Yinshi, Madam Lu arrived at Lin Zisu's listening courtyard.

It was just dawn when she passed, and the lanterns under the eaves were still on.Lin Zisu's house was completely dark, without any light.

It seems that it is not up yet.

Nanny Lu knew in her heart that this Lin Zisu was clearly relying on King Dun's favor and not paying attention to her.

She has seen a lot of ladies from this kind of official family, and she can't stand being frightened at all. As long as she can handle her well, she is not afraid that Lin Zisu will not give in.

Hmph, behind her is Concubine Zhuang, how can she be afraid of this little yellow-haired girl?
Nanny Lu has already made up her mind, and when she sees Lin Zisu later, she must give her a blow.

But Lin Zisu's room door was locked from the inside, and she couldn't break in.

Looking around, there was only one girl in the yard. Nanny Lu held the girl and said, "It's half past Yinshi, why hasn't your young lady woke up yet? I've been waiting for her for a long time, go and wake her up." !"

This girl was Lve Ying. She was picking up lanterns under the eaves with a bamboo pole. Seeing that it was Nanny Lu, she replied indifferently: "My young lady fell ill at night and is still resting. Don't bother her."

Nanny Lu immediately sneered: "I haven't taught her how to behave yet, and now she's sick. Is there such a coincidence? Didn't she just pretend to be lazy?"

Lve Ying immediately threw the bamboo pole in his hand to the ground, widened his eyes, pointed at Madam Lu and said, "You are the one who made our young lady sick, and you are still talking sarcastic here now! If something happens to our young lady, I won't let you go!"

Lve Ying clenched his fists as he spoke, and made a few noises like fried beans.

Seeing Lve Ying's cannibalistic expression, Nanny Lu immediately took a few steps back, feeling that it was still inappropriate, she took another two steps back.

Nanny Lu had been waiting in the courtyard for half an hour, but there was still no movement in Lin Zisu's room. She was hesitating whether to go to Mrs. Bi to complain, when she heard hurried footsteps outside the courtyard door, and then saw Two maidservants led Bi Shi in.

With panic on her face, Mrs. Bi asked, seeing Nanny Lu standing in the yard, "Mommy, how is our elder sister's illness?"
