Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 231 The Man in the Picture

The day after the secret letter was found, it mysteriously appeared on Emperor Ming Hui's dragon case. Looking at the thick pile in front of him, Chu Yuan frowned into a Sichuan shape. He never thought that Lin Ziyang That old man had already become a traitor with his foreign contacts.

"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body!" Huang Tu stepped forward to dissuade him.

"You don't need to persuade me, this time... I won't be soft-hearted any more." After speaking, he raised his hand and slapped the table hard.

Huang Tu sighed heavily, and a trace of incomprehensible emotion flashed in his lowered eyelids.

Emperor Minghui unpacked the letters and read them one by one. The more he read, the more he felt uneasy, and the storm in his eyes deepened.Lin Ziyang, who was actually sent to Dachu by the Qi people, has been lurking for 20 years, so good~ Chu Yuan clenched his hands, his eyes flashed fiercely.

"come..."

"The slave is here." Huang Tu bowed.

"Find a brocade box and keep these letters well."

"According to the order."

Qu You seemed to have had a dream. When he woke up, his whole body was sore, and it was difficult to breathe as if he was drowning.She raised her hand and stretched, touching her flat stomach.so hungry...

"Huanshan..." Qu You lay on the bed, pulling a long tune weakly.

"Princess." Huanshan pushed the door open and walked in.

"I'm hungry." Qu You said sadly.

Huanshan didn't answer, she opened her mouth to call Lingyou outside the door, and the two quickly helped Quyou wash and put on makeup, and when she realized it, a dignified and majestic princess had already appeared in the bronze mirror.

"What is this for?"

"Someone came from the palace, and it is said that the eighth prince came to the palace and proposed to the emperor that he wants to compete with you, miss." Huan Shan answered with her mouth, but her hands kept arguing with her.

The eighth prince, Chu Qin, is he crazy? He doesn't know that he is a painter Linghui, so he wants to compete with him in painting?
"He doesn't know, I'm..." Qu You asked curiously.

"He knows!" Lingyou took the words.

"Then he still..." He still wants to compete, isn't he looking for abuse?
"Maybe I thought I could win."

Qu You nodded, and walked out of the master bedroom after getting dressed.

Inner Hall of Prince Rui's Mansion

A young eunuch with delicate features was sitting on a soft chair, drinking cup after cup of tea.Hmm~ This errand at Prince Rui's Mansion was indeed not in vain, the cakes are not only delicious, but the tea is also delicious, it really makes people reluctant to leave.

When Qu You came out, she happened to see the little eunuch's intoxicated face, she suppressed a smile, put on the majesty of a princess, and coughed lightly.

"My servant has seen Princess Rui." Hearing the voice, the little eunuch hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"The father-in-law is exempt from courtesy."

"Thank you, princess."

"I don't know, what's your father-in-law's name?" Qu You asked as he swept the table, only to see that the porcelain plate that was originally filled with pastries was now empty.

"Slave Xiao Linzi, I have met Princess Rui!"

Well, he is a sensible child!Qu You nodded, turned to look at Huan Shan beside her, Huan Shan understood, and quietly backed out.

"This hot day, I can't let you come here for nothing. When you go back later, pack some snacks, just treat it as a snack for you to try."

"Thank you, ma'am..." Xiao Linzi knelt down excitedly.

Huanshan walked into the room and handed over the packaged snacks, Xiao Linzi thanked her for a while, and then took it with both hands.

"Your Majesty, the emperor and all the lords are in the palace, you can do it now." Xiao Linzi bent down to remind.

"Okay, then let's go!" Qu You walked out of the inner hall first after finishing speaking.

Lingyou and Fengling followed up consciously, while Huanshan stood at the door of the inner hall, looking over from a distance, God bless, miss, all dangers turn into good fortune...

Chu Xu and the others had been waiting at the gate of Xuanwu, and when they saw Qu You's carriage approaching, they walked over one after another.

"Ninth Brother and Sister, are you ready?" Chu Xu asked worriedly.

"I'm ready, what else do I need to prepare for painting?" Qu You couldn't help feeling amused.

"Since that's the case, let's go in!"

"it is good."

Everyone raised their feet and went to the palace together.

Qianqing Palace

When Qu You and the others appeared, everyone paid attention and wanted to know whether it was the so-called master Ling Hui who would win, or the eighth prince Chu Qin who usually loves calligraphy and painting would win.

"My daughter-in-law has seen my father!" After entering the shop, Qu You saluted first.

"No courtesy, take your seat."

"Thank you father..."

Qu You walked slowly, led Lingyou and others to the front, and sat down.

During this period, Chu Ming has been paying attention to Qu You's situation. He watched her sitting there with a calm expression, only occasionally showing a slight worry in his eyes.

Seeing this, he sighed softly in his heart. If Qu You pointed out the Ten Thousand Years Mountains and Rivers Map later on, it might cause Chu Qin's backlash and everyone's discussion.

There was a lot of discussion about the painting in the inner city before, and they bragged about it, which aroused everyone's curiosity and wanted to see it.Now that Chu Qin had taken the lead in presenting the painting, no matter how stunning her painting was, it lost some interest.

"Our hall has heard before that the princess's painting skills are superb. There have been rumors about this in the city. The hall is also very curious. Today, with the light of the father, I can see the painting of the princess!" Among the crowd, Chu Qin held a Gently fanning the folding fan, the end looks suave and suave, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling, full of boundless romance.

Hearing this, Qu You glanced at him lightly, and then turned to Chu Ming. Until now, she still hadn't guessed what kind of method he used to see the painting she drew.

Perhaps it is possible to use the hidden guards to sneak into Prince Rui's mansion to spy secretly, but that is absolutely impossible.So... where did the problem go wrong?

Before it was too late to think about these issues, Qu You turned his eyes slightly, and then said softly, "The eighth prince is absurd..."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head slightly to signal the little eunuch at the side to take out the painting that she had prepared earlier in the morning, but when it was presented just now, everyone couldn't help being stunned.

This "Ten Thousand Years of Rivers and Mountains Map"...how could it be so small? !
Looking at the size, it seems that it is not even half of the painting of the Eighth Prince. Could it be that he is afraid of losing face, and it is specially used to fill the scene!

Although the value and artistic conception of a painting are not judged by its size, there are already masterpieces by the Eighth Prince, and the "small and exquisite" one of the princess now inevitably disappoints everyone.

Originally, I wondered which of these two people had the better picture. Although Wang Hao didn't have enough time, after all, the original picture was drawn by her own hands, so the artistic conception in it can be seen.

Qu You got up and followed Chu Yu to the center of the hall. Unknowingly, her eyes looked at his back softly. There seemed to be a thousand words in her eyes, but in the end they just turned into a soft light, and finally rippled in her watery eyes. In bright eyes.

"The courtier's daughter-in-law makes a fool of himself, don't blame the emperor!" After finishing speaking, Qu You let out a long breath.Fortunately, she was scribbling on the carriage when she came, otherwise, she would definitely be dead...

"Haha... good!" While smiling, Emperor Minghui kept nodding his head, his eyes were full of smiles.

Looking at the things behind Qu You, she couldn't help but feel a little interest in her eyes. This girl is usually smart, so I don't know what new tricks this painting will have.

Seeing the interest in Emperor Ming Hui's eyes, Chu Ming had a strange smile in his eyes.

The more curious the father is now, the more disappointed he will be when he sees him later!

Now, what about your Five Kings... how do you treat them?

Seeing Emperor Ming Hui's expression full of interest, Qu You smiled faintly. She took two steps back slightly, raised her slender jade hand slightly, and drew a graceful arc in the air.

As the red silk fell slowly, the majestic landscape picture that everyone had expected was missing!

Instead, it is a beautiful picture of flowers and plants!

It is said that it is flowers and plants, but in fact it is not necessarily the case. There are also characters among them.

The whole picture is a rosy plum grove, as if there is a breeze blowing, and the petals are blowing with the wind. The woman under the plum tree is dressed in white, leaning slightly on the side of the tree. Her facial features are not depicted. How clear it is, there is only a faint outline, and there are petals falling, covering her face.

Only those eyes seemed to be full of peach blossoms, but for some reason, it turned into a rain of peach blossoms.

It was like a season of flying flowers, it was obviously a plain white gauze skirt, but it was covered with pink peach blossom petals, it seemed to have turned into a pink and tender pink skirt, pretty and lovely, too beautiful to behold.

Everyone saw this painting, but they only felt a line of poetry come alive in front of them, "Under the drunk-eyed fragrant tree, half buried by fallen flowers..."

Although it is not as shocking as they imagined, but it just feels special. At first glance, I just think it is too beautiful, but when I look at it carefully, I can't help but feel that I have been hooked out of my soul, and I want to wipe it away. With those fallen flowers, take a good look at what kind of world-renowned beauty this woman is!

However, among those who thought this way, there was only one person—Chu Xu!
After Qu You slowly pulled off the red silk, he froze there, or rather... froze there!

That woman... Even though he had never seen such a scene before him, he still knew who it was.

Although Qu You didn't draw her face clearly, Chu Xu only felt that she was exactly the same as the one in his memory.

Dressed in a pink peach red palace dress, it seems that there are peach blossoms blooming in the eyes, which makes people addicted.

That's... his mother and concubine - Liao Qingchen!

If Chu Xu's feeling when he saw the scene in front of him was nostalgia, then when the queen, concubine Xian and others saw it, they just felt full of fear!
This woman...was the thorn in the eyes of all the women in the harem back then!
His Majesty has never doted on someone so much, or in other words, has never cherished the women in the harem so much.Even though the queen has always been a little unconscious, women are always extremely sensitive when it comes to feelings. She has always felt that His Majesty's feelings for Chao Yunhua are not just as simple as doting on a concubine.

If it wasn't for the joint suppression of the Lingyang Houfu and Liyanghoufu at that time, her position would have been abolished long ago!
What His Majesty wants to give that woman is not just the love and care that an emperor has for his favorite concubine, what he wants to give her...is a home!

A home that belongs only to them and their children is something that makes everyone feel fear and dread.

And those things that happened later were just the trend of the times. If they didn't act first, they might be the ones who died now.

But even if he thought calmly in his heart, when he really faced the woman in front of him again, no matter whether it was the queen or the concubine Xian, he couldn't help feeling a little bit of fear in his heart.If possible, I'm afraid they don't want to think of any memories about her!
Looking at the painting in front of them, some veteran officials in the court naturally thought of Concubine Mei, that "mysterious" woman in their first reaction.But for someone like Song Qi who doesn't understand the past, the person in this painting...is Empress Lianfei!
Because the woman's face in the painting is only an outline and not very clear, no one can tell who the person in the painting is.

However, Princess Rui just presented it in front of everyone's eyes, but she didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and it was difficult for others to speculate on the meaning of her painting.

And when Chu Qin saw the corner of the embroidered painting, his eyes froze!
It's not a picture of mountains and rivers for thousands of years!
how so? !

Thinking of this, Chu Qin suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Ge, but saw that the other party also had a blank expression on his face.Seeing this, he suddenly realized that he had been "played" by Qu You again!
She was...prepared for a long time!
She wanted to spread the rumors in the city on purpose, and if she got hooked, she could take out this one, and it wouldn't be the same as him.If she didn't take the bait, no matter which painting she used, it would be fine.

But... is this the end?

She deliberately set up a trick to lure herself into the bait, but she didn't have any other tricks. Chu Qin categorically didn't believe what she said. So, what exactly was she planning to do?

Seemingly noticing that Chu Qin had been watching her, Qu You slowly turned her head to meet his gaze, but suddenly smiled brightly at him, and then withdrew her gaze.

It was not her final plan to deceive Chu Qin, what she wanted to know now was His Majesty's reaction!

I don't know if this painting is in His Majesty's eyes, when he saw it for the first time, who did he think of?

Chuoyue Jiaobo in the [-]th spring, when will she be relegated to the world of mortals.

Spring birds sing silently in Taoyuan, and Peng Island locks in the evening clouds.

Dan's face is tender, his eyebrows are fresh, and he is willing to stain the vermilion powder innocently.

Concubine Yang is not as talented and beautiful, but she is also loved and diligent by the king.

She was very curious about this question, whether it was Concubine Xian who was once a favorite, or Concubine Lian who was in the limelight at the moment, or... Concubine Mei who had passed away long ago?

But at this moment, Emperor Minghui was looking straight at the embroidered painting in the center of the hall, the wine cup in his hand had already slipped from his hand, and the bright yellow dragon robe on his body was wet with the wine, but he didn't realize it.

dust...

Even though the embroidery in front of him didn't clearly depict her outline, he could tell at a glance that it was his Chen'er!
No one knows her voice and smile better than him. From the first time he saw her, he never forgot her.

That year in Qifengpo was exactly the season in the painting. He hurried past, but saw the woman falling gracefully from under the peach blossom tree. out, slowly walking towards him.

But at that time, they didn't know that this walk... would be a lifetime!
It seems that from the very beginning, Jiang Shan had promised them a farewell. Even though the relationship between them was as beautiful as flowers and beautiful couples and fleeting years as water, in the end they could not match the majesty and imperial power!
He couldn't even...even write her name in the history notes!
Thinking of this, Emperor Ming Hui's eyes were filled with tears, but he still looked straight at the direction in front of him, not even refusing to blink.

It turned out that the flowers were blooming everywhere, and the years passed like this, but he didn't even have the courage to go down to see her.

For so many years, the peach blossoms on Qifengpo have bloomed and fallen, and every time he thinks of it, he seems to see Chen'er standing in front of him in a peach red gauze dress, but the Shangxie chanted by the two before has become "I wish Never with you!"
Concubine Lian looked at Emperor Minghui beside him looking at the painting with tears in his eyes, and for a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

The woman in that embroidered painting... isn't she? !

When she first saw the red silk being torn off by Prince Rui, Concubine Lian thought it was her at first sight!
Because she is currently favored by the emperor alone in the palace, the concubine took the opportunity to present a gift to His Majesty, and also took the opportunity to "curry" herself.

It's not that Concubine Lian blindly put gold on her face without self-knowledge, it's just that there are many people in this palace who do this, and she has also experienced a lot.Furthermore, she is the only woman in the entire harem who likes to wear palace clothes embroidered with plum blossoms, and there is no one else!
