Good pregnancy, quick to wear: the soft fox is pampered in the plane

Chapter 25 The weak fake daughter VS the great tyrant (25)

That night, Rong Ye summoned Jiang Xue in the Self-cultivation Hall.

Jiang Xue went there happily, His Majesty must have thought that he was favored and noticed him!

In the Xiu Shen Hall, Jiang Xue looked at the man with a shy face and saluted: "See your Majesty."

"Well, Xue Jieyu is here?" Rong Ye looked up from the book and waved, "Come here and sharpen the ink for me."

"Yes."

Grind...grind ink? What does this mean?

The man's expression made her a little uneasy. Could it be that the seduction incident was exposed?

Jiang Xue stepped forward nervously, paying attention to his face while sharpening the ink.

If there's nothing wrong, that's fine.

The two of them sat in the dim environment of candlelight, one reading and the other polishing ink.

"Your Majesty, is it okay?"

She asked, looking at the pool full of ink in the inkstone.

Rong Ye glanced lightly and pointed at several inkstones prepared behind him: "Continue."

Jiang Xue frowned, how long will it take to grind so much?
  "Well, don't want to?"

"No, I will grind it now."

"Ah."

Jiang Xue picked up the inkstone and continued to grind it, not sure what Rong Ye was thinking.

He didn't stop until his wrists were slightly sore: "Your Majesty? Are these enough?"

"continue."

Jiang Xue wanted to say something angrily, but in the end she still didn't dare to speak and could only lower her head and continue.

Rong Ye felt happy when he saw her feeling aggrieved but afraid to vent.

You should really ask Wan'er to come and see what she looks like now, it's really ridiculous.

"Your Majesty, the painter has arrived."

"Please come in."

The painter came in with tools and saluted. Rong Ye raised his hand to stop his movements: "Stop talking nonsense, let's get started."

"Yes."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at the curious Jiang Xue with a smile and said: "The painter in the palace came to paint my portrait. Thanks to my concubine, it saved me the trouble. With the ink polished by my concubine, I will definitely draw a hundred times better." Nice portrait.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xue was immediately happy, it turned out to be like this.

It seems that His Majesty is very optimistic about her now.

"Your Majesty, this is what a concubine should do."

"Well, not bad." Rong Ye said with a change of tone, "The painter is an old man in the palace, and his painting skills are very good. Since my beloved concubine is here, I want the painter to draw one for you first."

Jiang Xue was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly.

This kind of treatment is probably not available in the entire harem, not even the one in Zhaoyang Palace.

She knelt down shyly, with a victor's look on her face: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Rong Ye took everything in his eyes and his eyes darkened.

"Okay, let the original painter come and paint Xue Jieyu's portrait. Remember my requirements. If you don't meet my requirements, you will have to hang your head."

Jiang Xue listened happily and did not notice the surprise and embarrassment in the painter's eyes.

The painter wiped the sweat from his head.

His majesty's request has never been encountered in his many years of work.

"Original painter, please?"

Jiang Xue said proudly, her eyes seeming to look down on everyone.

"Yes, ma'am."

According to the request, the original artist found a windy place that was extremely difficult to stand on as the background, and then invited Jiang Xue to stand there.

She didn't think much and walked over briskly.

The original painter glanced at Rong Ye, nodded, and started painting.

Not long after, Jiang Xue, who looked proud just now, couldn't help but feel worried. The place was windy and bumpy, making it uncomfortable to stand for a long time. However, the painter did not allow her to move, saying that it would affect the painting.

Helpless, she asked the man beside her for help, but got the same answer as the painter.

"Obey, it will be soon. Don't make things difficult for the painter."

"Yes."

Jiang Xue couldn't vent her grievances, so she could only say to the painter: "Hurry up, I will feel uncomfortable standing there. If you don't paint well, look at your head."

The painter turned to look at the man who wanted to watch the show, and nodded to Jiang Xue with sweat on his face: "Yes."

It wasn't until a long, long time later that when Jiang Xue was almost fainting, she finally heard the painter's voice: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty is ready."

Jiang Xue didn't wait for Rong Ye to say anything, and trotted over to check the portrait.

The next second her sharp voice sounded throughout the hall: "You idiot, what are you drawing?"

The original painter immediately knelt on the ground: "My dear, I did my best."

"You, you." Jiang Xue pointed at him and was speechless for a long time.

You can tell she looks like her in the painting, but her eyes are crooked and her mouth is slanted, and her posture is still artificial and coquettish.

It's her, but it's not quite her. She's always ugly.

"Your Majesty, look at her, she painted my concubine so ugly, you must vent your anger on my concubine."

Rong Ye took the portrait with a stern face, looked at it for a long time and then looked at the painter and said, "Not bad."

"What?" Jiang Xue was stunned.

"The painting is good. It has Xue Jieyu's shy attitude. That's how you look to me."

"His Majesty?"

Is this called good? It's just so artificial without any sense of beauty.

Is this the result of standing in the wind for so long?
  No matter how stupid Jiang Xue is, she knows at this moment that Rong Ye is humiliating herself!
  "I think these words are excellent. Why is my concubine different from what I think?"

Rong Ye looked at Jiang Xue, his voice and eyes were full of the majesty of an emperor. Jiang Xue was so frightened that she was shaking all over and couldn't speak clearly: "No, no..."

"That's good." Rong Ye looked at Jiang Xue with a sneer: "Come here, the painter is very skilled. This painting is my favorite. I appreciate it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The painter received the reward tremblingly, and then hurriedly left.

Such an errand is very frightening.

"Xue Jieyu, this is your first portrait after entering the palace. You should take it back and hang it up properly without any damage."

Jiang Xue was scared and angry at the moment. Rong Ye not only wanted to humiliate herself, but also asked her to hang such an ugly painting!
  Just when she was thinking about how to ask Rong Ye to take back her words, the man had already opened his mouth to chase them away.

"Go ahead, it's hard work standing here for so long."

Rong Ye didn't give her a chance to say anything and asked the attendant to send her out.

The attendant held the painting in his hand and followed closely behind him. Jiang Xue turned away angrily.

In the end, the painting was hung in the most conspicuous position in the main courtyard of Nuanxin Pavilion by Rong Ye's attendants.

In the next few days, everyone in the harem knew what Rong Ye said in the Self-cultivation Hall, 'In my eyes, Xue Jieyu is like this'.

There would always be concubines who would come to chat in her yard. When looking at the painting, they could not help but laugh and leave again. Jiang Xue was so angry that she threw a lot of things in the yard.

Compared with the joy of the harem, the previous dynasty was a storm.

The You tribe repeatedly invaded the border and continued to provoke.

In the end, Rong Ye sent soldiers and horses to conquer, but what everyone was worried about was that the people sent by His Majesty this time were not recommended by the Wang family or people with reputation and ability among the nobles.

Instead, he chose an inconspicuous person from a poor family to serve as a general.

Sometimes some people are happy and some people are sad.

Just when the former government began to worry, the newly appointed general sent good news from the border one after another.

In the end, it took a month to repel the rampant You tribe hundreds of miles away from the border, and even captured the You tribe's little prince alive.

The leader of the You tribe who was eager to protect his son proposed peace and was willing to become a vassal state of Yiguo, with Yiguo as the main source of tribute every year.

Rong Ye was happy that the newly appointed young general had been promoted to several official positions before he returned to the court. For a while, the general became the new favorite and the object of fawning for everyone in the court.

Another month later, the young general returned to the court with his troops.

Rong Ye held a celebration banquet for her with a big wave of his hand, and also entertained the envoys of the You clan.

The entire Yi Kingdom was celebrating, and so was the palace, where a grand celebration banquet was held.
