Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 214 Snake essence is a disease ([-])

The queen took a deep breath, her legs gradually slid down, and she knelt down in front of Emperor Ming Hui.

"Chen and concubine are guilty."

"The empress has ruled the harem for dozens of years, so I need to ask about such trivial matters?" Emperor Minghui said coldly.

The queen fell on the ground and gritted her silver teeth. She stiffened her waist and tried to calm herself down.She entered the palace at the age of 15, and has been ups and downs for decades, but now she has fallen into the hands of a yellow-haired girl, how can she swallow this breath.

"The concubine is guilty." The queen did not argue, but repeated mechanically.

A trace of disgust flashed in Emperor Minghui's eyes, he waved his hand, "Get up, don't make an example."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The queen got up and was helped back to the seat by Nanny Qiu.

Qu You knelt in the field, listening to Emperor Ming Hui's reprimand to the queen, not to mention how beautiful it was.It would be a beautiful dream to bring down the queen at once, but she didn't force it, as long as she had nothing to do with her, she wouldn't bother her.

"Princess Rui is a great talent. I am very pleased. Now, the summit of the four countries is approaching. With her talent..." Emperor Ming Hui stroked his beard and smiled amiably.

Qu You trembled all over, goosebumps crawled all over her body in an instant, she raised her head quietly, looked at Emperor Minghui who was praising her so much on the Dragon Throne, and couldn't help sighing heavily.Being an emperor is not easy. For the sake of the country and the subjects, even the irony is so true.

"What does Your Majesty mean, the girls don't understand."

Emperor Minghui frowned, and looked at King Yan involuntarily.Didn't she already agree, why is Princess Rui's reaction still so strange.Chu Xu's eyes fluttered in embarrassment, he coughed and walked out of the crowd.

"I would like to report to my father, the nine younger brothers and sisters are newly married, it is really not easy to worry about this matter, please forgive me."

Emperor Ming Hui took a breath, forgive me, how can he forgive... The envoys of the four countries are already on their way to Beijing and will arrive tomorrow, but at this important moment, there is not even anyone who can respond.

"Princess Rui, I ask you, are you willing to contribute to the country?"

What's the matter, why did she get involved again.Qu You was a little confused, she glanced at Chu Xu, trying to figure out what kind of riddle they were playing.As soon as she raised her head, she saw Chu Xu's mouth opening and closing singing praises to her, and she was shocked in place.

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. The nine brothers and sisters are as wise as they are stupid. They will definitely do their part for the country and the people..."

"Stop, stop, stop..." Qu Youzai couldn't help it anymore, she interrupted Chu Xu loudly.What a mess, she is a woman, so everyone is responsible.

"Ninth younger siblings, why should you be humble? All the courtiers in the palace saw the painting just now." Chu Qingge walked over with a smile on his lips.She really didn't expect that this country girl was so talented, and she shocked the entire Yuhua Palace in just half a stick of incense.

"Princess Rui, get back down." Emperor Ming Hui said.As more and more people got mixed up, he really knew how that girl would respond.

Qu You pursed her lips, leaned down, "Thank you Lord Long En." After finishing speaking, she deliberately thumped her numb legs.

Chu Yu walked over with big strides, and immediately blocked Qu You's body. His eyes seemed to be frozen, and he looked at everyone with an unkind expression.

"The competition is over, please forgive me and leave." After saying that, he pulled Qu You and wanted to leave.

"Ninth Brother, be safe and don't be impatient." Chu Ming stretched out his hand to stop him.

Chu Yu turned around expressionlessly, looked at the crowd around him, slightly raised his thin lips, and snorted coldly.

"Brother Emperor, what is the meaning of this?"

Chu Ming glanced at Emperor Minghui, then turned his head and smiled at Chu Yu and his wife, "Brother, I have a few words to ask the nine younger siblings, I wonder if it's convenient."

"It's inconvenient." Chu Yu refused him without even thinking about it.

Chu Ming choked for a moment, and suddenly became a little embarrassed.He took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions again, "Ninth brother, don't worry, the summit of the four countries is coming soon, we should fight against each other."

The same hatred... Chu Yu looked at the fourth prince Chu Xian and the sixth prince Chu Lin behind him, and couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart.The Five Emperors' Party and the Great Emperor's Party have always been in an endless confrontation.Now, Chu Ming said that he wants to fight against the enemy, which is simply a joke in the world.

"Brother Dahuang speaks directly, there is no need to beat around the bush."

"We are an alliance." After speaking, Chu Ming glanced at Chu Yu and his wife.Chu Yu is indifferent and ruthless, even King Yan, who has a mother and compatriots, may not be a bit unsympathetic.If it weren't for the military power he held in his hands, he wouldn't have swallowed his anger like this.

Chu Yu's thin lips curled up, and she neither nodded nor shook her head, but looked at Chu Ming with cold eyes, looking at him in shock.He took a deep breath and turned to Qu You again.

"Brother Yu presumptuously, I don't know, who did the nine brothers and sisters learn from?"

"I am also very curious." Behind him, Chu Qingge's voice suddenly came.

Chu Yang pulled Chu Yuan, Shen Lian led the maidservant, and everyone gradually moved closer, completely surrounding Chu Yu and his wife.It seems that he is very curious about Qu You's master.

Emperor Ming Hui looked at the crowd gathered in front of the hall, and couldn't help frowning, "Come here, invite Prince Rui and his wife back to the main hall."

Huang Tu bowed and said 'yes', turned around and walked towards the entrance of the hall with a smile on his face.

"The emperor invites the prince and princess to return to the palace."

Qu You turned around and looked, only to see Emperor Ming Hui smilingly nodding at her on the dragon chair.The old man is late, the hero is late... For some reason, such a sentence suddenly flashed in her heart.

"Let's go, go back."

Chu Yu didn't say a word, and there was some hesitation in those thin cool eyes.His arms tightened suddenly, and his thin lips approached Qu You's ear, "Don't be afraid, I have everything!"

Qu You's heart warmed, and she nodded silently.

Chu Yu waved away the crowd, raised his legs and walked towards the hall.The couple stood in the center of the hall, letting the courtiers all over the hall look at them.

"Prince Rui." Emperor Ming Hui said.

"The girl is here." Qu You bowed his knees.

Emperor Ming Hui nodded, feeling more and more satisfied with Qu You from the bottom of his heart, he gently raised his hand, "Prince Rui, don't be too polite, give me a seat."

The palace man took the soft chair and placed it neatly behind Chu Yu and his wife.In front of all the courtiers, Chu Yu helped Qu You to sit down.This inexplicable move immediately shattered the hearts of countless girls.

"That bitch can actually sit down." Lin Fang hid in the crowd, her eyes were red with hatred, she twisted the silk handkerchief vigorously with both hands, wishing she could replace it with her own body.

"Prince Rui is Miss Limei's fiancé-in-law. Even if Miss Lin is not here, she is not a country girl. Now, she alone dominates the God of War in the Great Chu Kingdom, so she can live with peace of mind." Tong Yanran rolled her eyes, seemingly inadvertently, blowing the wind in Lin Fang's ear.

Lin Fang turned his head, and a gleam flashed in his charming eyes, "Miss Tong, you and I are not very familiar with each other, so don't say these inexplicable words in the future."

She's just a concubine, she really thinks she's willing to get close to her.If it weren't for that, seeing her climbing onto King Fu's bed, she really didn't even want to talk to her.Tong Yanran smiled contemptuously, turned around and ignored her.

The quarrel between the two didn't affect Qu You at all, she smiled slightly, and sat down with Chu Yu's hand.

"Come here, present the painting." Emperor Ming Hui ordered.

The palace man held the painting and carefully handed it to the dragon chair.Emperor Ming Hui raised his hand and waved lightly, the palace people quickly separated, and slowly spread the scroll towards both sides.I saw that on the four-meter-long scroll, there were crowds of people in a mess; but if you look carefully, it is not difficult to find the essence of it.

"Prince Rui." Emperor Ming Hui raised his head, a gleam flashed under his calm eyes.

"My daughter-in-law is here." Qu You Fu changed her address.

Emperor Ming Hui nodded in satisfaction, turned around and signaled the palace servants to carry the painting down. "Come and explain to me the meaning of your painting."

"My daughter-in-law obeys the order." After finishing speaking, Qu You got up and walked towards the wooden table.She raised her hand and gently rubbed the scroll, a smile appeared on her pretty face, "Returning to my father, this painting is called 'Rising Sun on the River', it is a random creation of my minister and daughter-in-law, and I can't wait for it to be elegant. "

Emperor Ming Hui nodded, and seemed to appreciate Qu You's modesty.He raised his hand slightly, motioning her to continue talking.

"The whole picture is divided into three sections. In the first section, the minister and daughter-in-law are painting the countryside of Luoning City in spring. The sparse forest and mist cover several huts, grass bridges, running water, old trees, and boats. A willow forest, The branches are just turning green. Although the spring is cold, it has already returned to the earth. The middle part is the busy moat wharf. It is densely populated and the grain boats gather. Some people are resting in teahouses, some are reading fortunes, and some are eating in restaurants. Yes. Boats in the river come and go, end to end, or pulled by trackers, or rowed by boatmen. Some are full of cargo, and go upstream, and some are moored at the shore, unloading nervously. The back section is a lively city street. Teahouses, wine shops, fabric workshops, butcher shops, and the famous "No. [-] Building in the World" in Chu State... There are silks and satins in the shop, medicine clinics, fortune-telling, cosmetic surgery... all kinds of industries, everything you expect " Qu You said while promoting his own restaurant, his serious tone matched his exaggerated body movements, and he saw the corners of everyone's mouths twitching.

"Nine younger brothers and sisters, I am willing to bow down to the imperial sister." Chu Qingge smiled generously.

Qu You felt a 'thump' in her heart, and she secretly raised her vigilance.If you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal.The sudden approach of the three princesses must have been plotting.

"Sister Sanhuang is serious, this painting is a work of a woman's boudoir, it's hard to be elegant." Qu You complimented her indifferently.

Well, what a waiting room for elegance.Chu Qingge secretly hated him, but there was still a smile on his face that didn't show at all.She turned around and took the painting, and handed it to Qu You.

"Ninth brother and sister, I don't know, can you comment on it for sister Huang."

"The women of the people have little talent and learning, and dare not play tricks."

Chu Qingge's face froze, and the hand holding the scroll was tightly clenched.She forced a smile, straightened her waist and walked back to her seat.

"This time, the princess admits defeat." As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar immediately.

"Third Princess actually admitted defeat."

"This Princess Rui actually has such a great talent?"

"Who knows what she painted, maybe the third princess let her do it for Prince Rui's face, otherwise, with the strength of the third princess, how could she easily admit defeat."

The chattering voices reached the ears of Chu Yu and his wife.Chu Yu lowered his eyes, his eyes grew colder, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he turned to look at the crowd.

"If you are not convinced, you can go forward."

"Prince Rui, the courtiers are not convinced." Qin Zimei stood up suddenly.

Chu Yu nodded, those ice-quenched black pupils stared at her firmly, as if they wanted to see through her, making her tremble involuntarily.

"Come on, prepare tools."

Qin Zimei raised her legs and stepped forward, turned around and gave a blessing to everyone, then walked towards the wooden table with her head held high.

Qu You shook his head helplessly, these people really don't give up, one loses and the other wins again, don't they really treat themselves like idiots?After thinking about it, she waved her hand to find the palace man, and whispered a few words in her ear.The palace man nodded and retreated.

Qin Zimei settled her pose, waiting for the censer to be lit before painting.She turned her head and looked at Qu You suspiciously, "Princess Rui, you—"

Qu You raised his hand, interrupting her questioning.She is waiting, waiting for the palace servants to find tools, and when the time comes, she will show these bumpkins what real painting is.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and when everyone was waiting impatiently, Qu You's tools were finally brought up.

"Princess Rui, can we start?" Qin Zimei asked.

"Wait a moment." Qu You replied without raising her head, she fiddled with the small carving knife in her hand, checking back and forth repeatedly.Yes, the blade is bad and not sharp, just suitable for painting, "Get me some paint, any color."

The palace man nodded and went down to prepare again.

Qin Zimei curled her lips and looked over with contempt in her eyes.Concubine Rui repeatedly shied away, probably because she was afraid that she would lose face if she lost.From this point of view, the victory just now was really a step back from the third princess.

After a cup of tea, the palace servant came back with the dye in his hand.Qu You checked everything needed, then raised her hand and smiled at Qin Zimei.

"Miss Qin, please!"

"Princess Rui, please..." After finishing the words, the palace servants brought over the lit incense burner.

Qu You picked up the carving knife, and dabbed it on the paper carefully while dipping it in paint.This time, she painted Qinghe Village, the hometown and hometown in her memory.She completely forgot the existence of everyone, as if she had entered a land of no one, she concentrated on staring at the blank drawing paper on the table with her breath held, then picked up the brush and swiped it, a lifelike painting suddenly appeared on the paper superior.The paper and the temperature of the fingertips seem to melt together, and the paintbrush in the hand is playing in the warm orange light.She pursed her lips, her eyebrows and eyes were full of seriousness.It seems that at this moment, everything about her is on this drawing paper.From the shallow to the deep, delicately sketched, her soul at this moment is in a grand carnival.

"time up--"

Qin Zimei and Qu You wrote together, and then slowly took a step back with both legs.

The palace man stepped forward and was about to take the scroll away when Chu Yu raised his hand to stop it.He walked to the center of the hall and knelt on one knee, "Father, in order to show justice, my son invited the Grand Scholar, Uncle Qingyang and Marquis Luyang to comment together."

"Precise play."

"The minister waits to obey the order." As soon as Emperor Huihui finished speaking, the three of them walked towards the hall.

Qu You shrugged, as if he didn't care much about the ending.She raised her head and gave Chu Yu a sweet smile, then casually played with her fingers.

"Miaomiaosecond..."

A cry of joy suddenly reached everyone's ears, and those who wanted to see Qu You make a fool of themselves couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.Could it be that this village girl is really talented, otherwise, how could King Qingyang be so excited.

"It seems that we have all lost sight." Chu Qin's heart tightened, the knuckles of the hand holding the wine glass were clearly defined, and the fingertips turned white, which could be seen from the exertion.

The Seventh Prince shook his head, "Prince Qingyang is Lao Jiu's uncle, so it's inevitable that he will turn to someone."

"No, no, King Qingyang has a clear distinction between public and private, and he is a master who helps his relatives. What's more, he is a royalist party, and he is not very close to the old nine." The prince disagreed very much.

"What's the use of saying this, the truth is waiting to see the show." Chu Ming raised his eyebrows lightly, and there was deep mockery in his eyes.It is more ridiculous to expect that the village girl will succeed than to say that she is the one who is full of wealth.

In the arena, King Qingyang and the others carefully observed the scroll, their eyes were burning hot, as if they were obsessed with seeing some peerless masterpiece.

"Shen Aiqing, how are you?" Emperor Minghui asked.

"A masterpiece, it's really a masterpiece." King Qingyang twitched his lips, and looked at Qu You excitedly, "This painting has concise lines, bright colors, and the arrangement of scenery and objects is even more good. Only a few strokes can paint the whole picture. The simplicity of the village stands out."

After Shen Tao finished speaking, the academician Feng Haoran took over the conversation, "I have the guts to ask the princess..."

"My lord, please tell me." Qu You lightly raised his hand.

"I don't know if the concubine and Grandmaster Linghui know each other." After speaking, she seemed afraid that Qu You would shake her head, and stared at the past firmly.

Grandmaster, Linghui——

Everyone sat up straight and suddenly opened their eyes wide.
