Xiao Chong: The Abandoned Concubine Shocks the World

Chapter 21
"Don't be afraid, I just want to draw a picture for you." Xie Huaiyuan was afraid of frightening her, and comforted her softly, "Although there are many women in the world, there are not many beauties, and even fewer beauties with attitude. Just like the flame of fire, the light of lamps, the precious color of pearls and shellfish, gold and silver, only the beauty with style is the real ultimate beauty. When I meet a few with style, I will welcome her into the house, with beautiful clothes and delicious food I just want to draw a few more pictures, but unfortunately, they always change so quickly, their eyes are no longer clear, and the beauty that I value is also disappearing very quickly."

Xie Huaiyuan sighed regretfully, "It's been a long time since I met a woman who can make my heart flutter, until I saw you"

Steady, must be steady, Yao Tong said silently several times, and his flustered heart calmed down.

"So, the Ninth Young Master's invitation to me to rehearse in Cuiliyuan is just a cover."

Xie Huaiyuan was startled, he didn't expect her to ask such a question, his crown-like face was full of smiles, "No, I really like your play, you are very unique, some ideas are shocking, but very interesting."

Yao Tong's tense emotions have relaxed at the moment, and he smiled, "Master Ninth still has vision, so I can rest assured."

Xie Huaiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Over the years, he had heard all kinds of words, but no matter how much he hated his defeated general, he would only call him vicious and unfeeling, and he had to admit his talent and ability.

Xie Jiuye was conceited that he was talented. Hearing Yao Tong's provocative words at this moment, he felt very fresh.

"I don't want you, Ah Tong, to be such a confident person." Xie Huaiyuan clapped his hands and laughed.

Yao Tong also laughed, "It is Yao Tong's dream to get Mr. Jiu to paint, but since Mr. Jiu also said that people's attitudes are like fire, everyone has their own posture. Yao Tong will be unique in Mr. Jiu's works."

Xie Huaiyuan looked at her deeply, with great interest, "What kind of uniqueness do you want?"

"I also ask the ninth son to give Yao Tong a day to prepare, and then draw tomorrow."

The competitive spirit has been aroused by her, Xie Huaiyuan suppressed the desire in his heart, and agreed to her.

After fighting for a day, and standing under the sun again, Yao Tong felt his hands were cold, "Where are Zidian and Qingshuang?"

Jin Xia supported her, with deep fear on her face, "Not long ago, Dan Yan brought tea over, and they fainted after drinking it, what are you going to do to thank him?"

She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and Yao Tong wanted to comfort her, "It's not what you think, Xie Jiu. It's not an ordinary person. No matter what happens tomorrow, don't talk. He can't use common sense to speculate."

"My lord, Flying Pigeon from the Daming Mansion passes on the letter."

It was mid-winter, and the north side of the Grand Canal, which runs through the north and south, was frozen, making it impossible to take a boat. When He Zhenghan and his party arrived in Xiangyang Mansion, they changed from the waterway to horseback riding.

Sleeping in the mansion shop at night, the dark guard sent an urgent letter.

After reading it, He Zhenghan had no expression on his face, "Let's go immediately, one person and two horses, and rush back to Daming Mansion."

"My lord, it's cold outside and the road is dark." The dark guard silently swallowed his unspoken words, "Your subordinate obeys."

At the dawn of the morning sun, Danyan brought a group of maidservants to serve Yao Tong. Obviously she was the one who put Yao Tong into such a situation, but facing Yao Tong, she didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt or complacency. Her words and deeds remained the same as before. Similarly, she served Yao Tong to wash and wash gently and submissively. Compared with Jinxia who was glaring angrily at the side, she seemed more sensible.

"Jinxia, ​​stop staring, learn from your sister Danyan." Yao Tong slightly raised his eyes, met Danyan face to face, and smiled at her.

Dan Yan, who had always acted as if nothing happened, her calm expression cracked under her smile, "Ma'am, you just joked, Miss Jinxia is capable and sensible, there is nothing Dan Yan can learn from her."

"Miss Danyan is more polite. She has a thick face, a dark heart, and a soft body. Not only Jinxia, ​​but even I have to learn from it."

Dan Yan laughed dryly, "Madam really likes to tell jokes."

Yao Tong ignored her and stopped the maid who wanted to put makeup on her. After washing and washing, she went to see Xie Huaiyuan with a plain face.

"But you made Ah Tong unhappy with your careless actions?"

Xie Huaiyuan frowned when he saw that she was not wearing makeup, and scolded her coldly.

Dan Yan and the others immediately knelt on the ground.

"I don't allow them to put on makeup. Master Jiu, don't blame them." Yao Tong sat opposite him with a relaxed attitude, "I think clear water and plain noodles are what Master Jiu wants."

Xie Huaiyuan listened more and more seriously.

"Since Jiu Gongzi can create a family of his own in the painting of ladies, why bother to follow the old ways in makeup and clothing. These are meant to serve the theme, how can we turn the cart before the horse?"

"It's like the play of 'Gianna', yes, yes, but I am obsessed with it." Xie Huaiyuan is extremely smart, as long as he understands it thoroughly, he will immediately know what he wants.

"That's what Master Jiu wanted." Yao Tong continued, "What kind of me does Master Jiu want to paint?"

She was really curious about this point, because the femininity in those pictures of beauties were all different, so which aspect of her did Xie Huaiyuan take a fancy to?
"Your eyes."

Xie Huaiyuan's gaze was fixed on her eyes, "There is the desire to survive like a fiery lava, extremely beautiful, extremely beautiful."

"I have been looking for such a look for a long time, and finally found it."

His eyes were full of nostalgia and pain, "Dianyan, go to my bedroom and fetch that box."

Yao Tong did not expect that there was a wedding dress in the box.

"Put it on."

Jinxia's complexion changed drastically. How could Madam wear a wedding dress for the man next to her?
"Okay." Madam's cheerful voice sounded beside her ear.

Just when she was about to speak, the peach pit in her mouth moved, causing her to cough. Yao Tong immediately glanced over at the sound and shook her head. She was afraid that Jinxia would forget her instructions in a hurry, so she made her mouth full of peaches. Nuclear, even if you want to say it, you can't say it.

Besides, it's just wearing a wedding dress and asking Xie Huaiyuan to paint a picture, and it won't lose a piece of meat, so why are you so nervous?
When she changed into that wedding dress, Xie Huaiyuan was stunned, his eyes were full of sadness, that person might have looked like that back then
Xie Huaiyuan was satisfied with Yao Tong's demeanor and his cooperation in painting.

For two whole days, no matter what request he made, Yao Tong fulfilled it one by one. When he finally put down his brush, Xie Huaiyuan felt unprecedented joy and ease.

"This one is ready, let's draw another one by candlelight at night."

When Xie Huaiyuan made this request, Yao Tong flatly refused, "No."

Her cooperation for the past two days made Xie Huaiyuan almost forget her temper, he was stunned for a moment, "What?"

"Master Ninth, I don't want to die." Yao Tong explained seriously.

"Did you hear something?" Xie Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows and asked.

He had heard the voices of discussion behind him, some said that he had a cruel temper and killed people when he lost interest, and some said that he sacrificed his life for painting, which is why he painted so well.

It's all nonsense, he doesn't take it seriously, those people are gradually losing their minds and turning into a mess, he doesn't want to keep people by his side, they just look for life, what is he doing?
"I'm no more energetic than Master Jiu, I'm tired." Yao Tong said seriously again.

"Then you rest for one night and start tomorrow night."

In the next few days, Yao Tong fulfilled his duties, seeing that she was no longer afraid of him, and she was not like other women, there would always be obsession in her eyes, Xie Huaiyuan felt that she was more and more rare.

"Tomorrow we will go back to Jiangzuo."

Yao Tong opened his mouth, but did not speak.

"Although Xie Jiu is not as powerful as Prince Ji's son, he can still allow Ah Tong to be free in Jiangzuo."

Yao Tong's eyelashes trembled, she was free and at ease, if she could really be free and at ease, she would really have nothing to miss in this Daming Mansion.

Thinking of that stern and stern man, my heart ached. He had something to love in his heart. To him, he was just a temporary position, and he had never been in his eyes.

That's fine too.

"Jiuye, it's not good. Smoke and dust are billowing not far ahead. There is a large group of people coming, and they are coming here. Hurry up."

Xie Huaiyuan hadn't set off yet, when an accident suddenly occurred.

He climbed up to the watchtower himself, and sure enough, a crowd of soldiers and horses came like a storm.

"Didn't He Zhenghan leave the Daming Mansion?"

"I don't know Master Jiu, let's go, it's too late."

In just a short moment, the galloping horse approached a little closer, so close that one could see the handsome man on the tall horse in front of him.

"Take her with you."

"No, it will implicate you, Master Jiu."

The peach blossom eyes were full of unwillingness, and he was just a little bit close to taking people away.

"Before I leave, burn this place, and my things cannot fall into the hands of other men."

"Ma'am, you're awake!"

Yao Tong was blank for a moment, not knowing where she was, she moved slightly, only to find that she was lying on the bed, naked under the quilt.

How is this going?

The little girl raised her voice, and there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside, and two middle-aged mothers came in.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing these two people coming straight to her, Yao Tong was about to lift the brocade quilt on her body without saying a word, her pretty face sank, and she asked in a cold voice.

"The old slaves are ordered by the son to come to examine the wife!"

"Physical examination?"

"Ma'am, don't embarrass this old slave." The nanny with the corners of her mouth drooping, replied blankly, "The person who serves the son of the world must not be dirty."
