"What you said is absolutely correct. I am indeed... the Imperial Concubine Xinyue."
So, how dare you put her in danger?
Xie Chenghui smiled and patted Painter Li on the shoulder, watching him being dragged down by the guards in a daze, his eyes softened again.
How could he paint the imperial concubine in private?
If he could, he would never want to draw her in his life.
Because love will be revealed in the writing, and anyone who knows how to draw can see the emotion in it.
The portrait of the imperial concubine just now did not show two-tenths of his skill, because he was afraid that he was too careful in painting and it would become evidence for others to attack her in the future.
Liking her is his own business, so why drag her glamor into bottomless pain.
Xie Chenghui touched the paint that had solidified on the hem of his clothes, packed up his things and left the bamboo forest with the book boy.
"Yue'er!"
After finally catching up with Jiang Xinyue, the two parties had stopped outside the garden of Changchun Fairy Hall.
Without the crowd watching, Jiang Xinyue no longer had to save face for the emperor.
The emperor grabbed her sleeve, she shook it off, grabbed it again, and threw it away again...
After repeating this four or five times, Jiang Xinyue suddenly turned around and pushed him away, her eyes full of disappointment: "I wonder what the emperor wants to do by following the concubine, such a watery person, to court Qin Mu Chu, and half-hearted people? Do you still want to catch an adulterer? Do you want to see my concubine? How many adulterers are there?"
"That's not what I meant."
Emperor Xuanwu, who was at fault first, begged for mercy in a low voice: "I'm just... I'm just jealous."
"Let's go, let's go!"
Wang Dequan waved his hand: "Everyone, let's go. What are you doing here? Magpie, take them back and do whatever you need to do."
Magpie looked very unconvinced. Why were there so many people here and only her name was mentioned?
She seemed like a prickly person.
Xiao Xiangzi pulled the magpie who was still planning to have a look at Wang Dequan and hurried in. The palace people in Hexi Palace only hoped that the misunderstanding between the empress and the emperor would be resolved quickly, and they all entered the Changchun Fairy Pavilion one after another.
Wang Dequan himself also walked to a place where he could not hear his master's words, but could see the two masters.
The minions from Jiuzhou Qingyan naturally followed Manager Wang, and they would do whatever he did.
After all the maids and eunuchs had retreated, the emperor made a fist with one hand, put it to his lips, coughed, and said in a pinch: "Yue'er, I am thirty-two years old this year, and you are only eighteen years old, and you are in the prime of youth and beauty. At that time, I... I saw you and Xie Chenghui standing together. You lowered your head and smiled. The way he looked at you... seemed that you and him should be a talented couple. I felt uncomfortable. I seemed to have a feeling. I don’t know how to vent my anger, so..."
"So the emperor can follow Concubine Yu's wishes and say that the concubine has an affair with Painter Xie? Does the emperor know what Qingyu means to the concubines in the harem?"
Jiang Xinyue said with tears in her eyes: "It means life and death, it means that my children will have no mother, it means that my family will be implicated to death by me, it means that I...I..."
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She waved away Emperor Xuanwu's extended hand and screamed, "Don't touch me! Don't touch me!"
Her whole body was shaking because she was trying to control her excitement. She took a few deep breaths and stepped back step by step: "The emperor is jealous, but let me bear the consequences of your jealousy. Why? If the emperor puts me in a relationship with you, If we are equals and love each other, then why do I ask you this?"
"I……"
"I'm tired. Your Majesty, please reflect on your behavior today! I'm sorry to leave."
He really didn't even give Emperor Xuanwu a chance to speak.
"Bang!"
The loud slam of the door slammed hard on Emperor Xuanwu's face. Although it didn't hit him, it was like a slap on his heart, so hard that he shrank in fear.
Recognizing people by listening to their voices is a door closed by magpies.
The moon hanging in the night sky tonight was very round, and the clear rays of the moonlight shone on the stone steps at the entrance of the Changchun Fairy Pavilion. Emperor Xuanwu sighed and really began to reflect on his reckless impulse today.
Yue'er was right, he shouldn't let Yue'er bear the consequences of his jealousy.
She and Painter Xie were innocent, but he questioned her innocence in front of so many people. Where could she put her face?
No wonder Yue'er was so angry, he really did something wrong this time.
How could Yue'er be the kind of person who judges people by their appearance? She had never met Xie Chenghui a few times in total, and he was always present, so he knew it!
but still……
He failed to control the evil fire that came up at that time, and lost his temper with Yue'er.
Why……
He sat on the stone steps pitifully, sighing one, two, three times...
He sighed until Wang Dequan came over: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to rest. Tomorrow the local officials of Qinzhou will host a banquet for you and the Imperial Concubine. You should go back to Jiuzhou Qingyan to rest early! The Imperial Concubine is so angry I will probably ignore you until I cancel."
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as mute."
The words that came out of Wang Dequan's cold mouth were so cold and ruthless, and there was no word he liked to hear.
Wang Dequan bit his lower lip and looked at the emperor pitifully.
This old guy is still aggrieved...
Emperor Xuanwu was very irritable, sighed again, stood up slowly, and watched the door of Changchun Fairy Pavilion for a while before turning around and leaving.
I can only find a way to coax Yue'er later.
Even he himself didn't realize that when Jiang Xinyue was angry for the first time and when he closed the palace door, he wanted to coax her. But this time, what he wanted to do was to coax her.
The difference of one word shows that Jiang Xinyue's position in his mind has become more and more important.
It wasn't a domineering force that squeezed into his heart, but a little bit of moisturizing and silent care that he didn't even notice.
Normally I don't think it's anything, but once someone else, a very good person of the opposite sex approaches Jiang Xinyue, the emperor will feel offended.
Mu Tan gently closed the garden door and reported the battle situation to the master behind him: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has left."
"gone?"
Concubine Jiang frowned: "Why didn't the emperor wait a little longer? Maybe the imperial concubine will open the door soon!"
Mu Tan shook his head: "Last time, the emperor made the imperial concubine angry. The imperial concubine closed the palace door and did not let the emperor enter for three months. This time, the emperor's crime was more serious. He falsely accused the imperial concubine of having an affair with Painter Xie. He must not be doubled. Are you ignoring the emperor? I think it will take four to five months to start."
Four or five months?
Then they all returned to the capital after summer vacation.
If she couldn't reconcile with the emperor before this, wouldn't it be a chance for the concubines who coveted the emperor's body?
