Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 32 The Emperor's Reward

"Princess Duanyi, please wait here first, this old servant will report to the emperor, and I will return quickly." Eunuch Su was about to turn around when Yun Wan called him back.

"Grandpa Su, stay for a while." Yun Wan presented the most cherished Ye Mingzhu to Eunuch Su, which was a gift from the old lady to his mother, "Grandpa, you have worked hard, Yun Wan is very grateful for your long journey to save Duanmu Mansion from the fire and water .”

"Princess Duanyi is serious. The servant is ordered by the emperor. After the report is over, you can thank the saint face to face." Su Gonggong asked the little eunuch to accept Yunwan's gift. Although he didn't know what was in the box, he Looking at the exquisitely carved rosewood, it can't be handkerchiefs, sachets and other small items, right?

"Eunuch Xie reminds me that there is a painting here, please present it to the emperor first." Yun Wan politely sent the painting scroll that her father had treasured for many years to the emperor, and asked Su Gonggong to say: "This painting is presented to the emperor by my father." He had searched hard for more than ten years before he found it. He heard that the emperor liked wood carvings, so he specially asked Zhang Sengyou to carve this golden nanmu painting box, but it was a pity that my father could not present it to the emperor himself. The little girl doesn't know if the emperor likes it, so I have to trouble my father-in-law to present it on my behalf."

"Princess Duanyi is really thoughtful. The slave entered the hall to expressly tell the emperor, please wait a moment." Su Gonggong took the painting box, turned around and entered the Xuande hall.

……

"Princess, why hasn't Eunuch Su come out yet? I'm dying of anxiety." Xue Qing was afraid that Yun Wan would catch a cold and get stomach ailments again if she stood outside for too long.

"Xueqing, are you and I the ones who can complain about the emperor's feet?" Yun Wan was afraid that Xueqing would say something disrespectful, so she reprimanded her severely.

"Princess Duanyi, please come in." Eunuch Su had just accompanied the emperor to admire the paintings for a while, and after seeing that it had been half an hour, he quickly reminded the emperor that the sender of the paintings was still waiting outside the palace, and he hurried out to invite the emperor with his permission. Yun Wan enters the hall.

"Okay, thank you for your kind words." Yun Wan knew that Eunuch Su would definitely speak well for her, otherwise she wouldn't have kept them waiting for so long.

"Princess, you are welcome, but you are only allowed to go in by yourself, and tell the emperor the origin of this scroll, it doesn't matter if you say more." After giving the order, Su Gonggong led Xueqing to wait in the side hall.

In order to calm down her tense mood, Yun Wan took a few deep breaths, raised the thick golden brocade curtain and entered the main hall, and found that the emperor was fascinated by the painting, so she knelt quietly in front of the hall, fearing not to disturb the emperor, but also fearing to be frightened to the emperor.

"Here?" After a while, Shen Yixiang turned around and found Yun Wan was kneeling.

"My daughter pays tribute to the Holy Majesty, and may the Majesty have a long life and prosperity." After finishing speaking, Yun Wan kowtowed to the Emperor three times, "Thank you Long Enhaodang for relieving Duanmu Mansion from the crisis."

"Excuse me, Duanmu Chongze has devoted himself to me, and I will remember this love!" Shen Yixiang nodded as he spoke, his regretful expression hard to hide.

"If my father can feel the concern of the Holy Majesty, he will rest in peace. When he was alive, he often mentioned that Long En is nothing to repay, and being able to be used by the Holy Majesty is a blessing from the previous life of the Duanmu Mansion." Yun Wan said carefully word by word. with.

"Do you know a thing or two about the origin of this painting?" Shen Yixiang asked thoughtfully.

"This is the second volume of the Luoshen Fu painting. The Holy Majesty ordered everyone to search for this painting 20 years ago to no avail. My father has always remembered this matter. Every time he thinks of it, he is filled with regret, but he has never given up hope of finding it. Finally, he found it in a Buddhist scripture in a temple. The pavilion found this painting, and caught up with Zhang painter who was carving the Zen wall in this temple, so he begged hard for a painting box, and it was precisely because he knew that he would present it to the Holy One that he dared to carve the dragon and phoenix auspicious patterns." Yun Wan dared not face it directly. Shengyan, I don't know if the emperor likes this vivid wooden carving box.

"Gu Kaizhi's paintings are really exquisite, and together with the painting case carved by Zhang Sengyou, they are simply treasures in the world. Duanmu Chongze has taken great pains." Shen Yixiang remembered that he had indeed ordered someone to find this painting 20 years ago. Concubine Yi passed away, and he was very sad. Concubine Yi liked Gu Kaizhi's paintings when she was alive. Shen Yixiang found many scrolls for her, but the second volume of this painting of Luoshen Fu was missing. He once ordered Duanmu Chongze to go to the south of the Yangtze River three times. Searched for this painting to no avail.

Those who like to paint have been gone for so long, and now those who are looking for paintings have also passed away. Kong left this painting for Shen Yixiang to appreciate alone, which made his sense of loss doubled, and the pain of longing cannot be resolved.

"Your Majesty, you are so elegant. Master Zhang once commented that Mr. Gu is the finishing touch, but he himself is just painting his flesh and blood." Yun Wan heard this sentence from her mother. At that time, her grandmother insisted that Yun Wan learn calligraphy and painting. As a last resort, I taught her to appreciate paintings first. Only by learning to appreciate first can I know why I write?How to write?

"What you said is very good. I will keep this painting well. Let's go to Su Rui to receive the reward." Shen Yixiang was completely attracted by the scroll, and he didn't even look at Yun Wan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Yun Wan left in a hurry. She did not expect to see the Emperor so soon. She sent the painting only to fulfill her father's wish, not to get a reward from the Emperor. But for Shen Yixiang, all those who approached him The courtiers are all greedy people.

Who should I give to when I find calligraphy?Shaohua is gone and reincarnation turns.The flowers are blooming like a brocade, and the people have not returned, and the temples are white and gray, enjoying the drunk alone.
