Scoundrels are always annoying, but many times very effective. Being appropriately thick-skinned can save yourself a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The female officer Jiayi really had nothing to do with Lord Rong, so she said in a low voice: "When I meet the empress, Lord Rong will just say good things. It's not convenient to talk about other details here."
It seems that Jiayi is really inconvenient to talk.
There were few things that were inconvenient to talk about, and Uncle Rong suddenly felt confident. He said with a playful smile: "Thank you, aunt."
The female official Jiayi who was greeted by her blushed and rolled her eyes angrily: "Why don't you take your hands away?"
"oh……"
It was quiet again on the carriage. Uncle Rong found a lot of topics to ask, but this time the female officer Jiayi didn't open her mouth. No matter what you ask, always reply: "You will know when the lord meets your wife."
When he arrived at Prince Zhongshun's palace, Uncle Rong obviously found that the atmosphere in the palace was very tense today. Going all the way to the back, I didn't meet many people.
It is indeed very different from the past.
Passed through Yimen, crossed two bridges, and walked to a verandah.
Uncle Rong was taken outside a pavilion near the water.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is inside, please go in."
Brother Rong glanced around, it was too quiet and remote here. It's not appropriate to meet the princess alone. He secretly found a reason for himself and said with a smile: "Auntie, just go in with me."
If there is one more person, even if the empress becomes angry, her anger will not be too strong.
The female officer Jiayi wanted to accompany Lord Rong in, but she couldn't go in without the empress's instructions. Reluctantly, he knocked on the door and heard the princess's voice coming from inside.
Jiayi led Lord Rong into the pavilion and then gently closed the door.
Uncle Rong carefully looked at this apartment. The room style is extremely exquisite and elegantly furnished. Stanley Red Mansions houses many exquisite antiques. There are things on the four walls, with paintings and calligraphy hanging on each wall.
There is a big couch against the wall in the room, and a graceful and beautiful woman is leaning on the couch.
There is a small kang table next to the beauty, and a small smoker is placed on the table. There are clouds of smoke and birds on the stove, and the elegant fragrance fills the whole room. Brother Rong followed the beauty's gaze and approached carefully. His eyes couldn't help but fly around, but he could clearly see a long scroll of pictures hanging on the wall of the couch.
After taking a closer look, I don’t know why. I can identify several seals on it - "Yexi Yuyin", "Jiaolin Liang's calligraphy and painting seal", "Tangcun", "Bo Luan descendants" and other white and red square seals.
The picture shows a group of people marching into the wind.
On the right side of the painting, two people are riding horses and directing in front. The person in the front turns his head and covers his face with his hands as he moves forward. The person in the back holds a flag and bends down to move forward. The flag in his hand is blown back by the strong wind. A foal followed the horse, and the mare hesitated in the cold wind.
As Uncle Rong looked at it like this, he suddenly felt the coldness of the scene in the painting.
In the center of the scroll are two women, one of whom is wearing a sable crown and a Hu suit. Her right hand is holding the horse's mane, and her left hand is covering her chin, as if to block the invasion and blowing of the cold wind. Their eyes are looking straight into the distance, with their eyes showing A look of determination. Behind him, a female companion holds a pipa in her right hand, covering her face with her left hand, looking back.
Behind the two women are men wearing Han official uniforms and two barbarians riding horses and talking. Several people have different faces, some are pensive, some are restless, some are gloomy, some are tired, some are domineering...
At the end of the painting, a man dressed in Hu costume is galloping on his horse, holding the yellow on the left and the blue on the right.
There is a line of small words on the far left. However, the distance was too far and Uncle Rong couldn't see clearly.
However, the princess noticed his expression and said angrily: "This work is "The Ming Concubine Leaving the Fortress" by Gong Suran, a female Taoist priest in the Jin Dynasty."
Concubine Ming is leaving the country?
Uncle Rong blinked involuntarily, how could Prince Zhongshun have such a picture?
Puzzled.
When she was confused, the empress said calmly: "Jiao Lin and the Liang family learned that the fourth princess was going to marry in Mobei. They also heard that the Thirteenth Master had asked the Liang family how many paintings they had when they were young, so they took Gong Suran's collection from the family. "The Picture of Concubine Ming's Leaving the Fortress" and the "Picture of the Chariot" written by Yan Liben in the early Tang Dynasty were sent to me."
Uncle Rong looked back and saw a particularly familiar transformation. It is a painting that will definitely appear in the history books of future generations. The painting talks about Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo.
This can be regarded as a real national treasure and cultural relic in future generations.
Uncle Rong couldn't help but rub his hands quietly. He was so surprised that he could see such a painting with his own eyes. I really want to take this painting back to Ningguo Mansion one day.
A truly valuable thing.
Suddenly, he finally remembered who Concubine Ming was. Isn’t that Wang Mingjun from the Han Dynasty? One of the four beauties in ancient times was Queen Zhaojun of Luoyancai, so "The Concubine Leaving the Fortress" tells the story of Wang Zhaojun.
He sighed secretly, only blaming himself for his shallow knowledge. I almost thought Concubine Ming was concubine Ming from some kind of religion, but luckily she didn't make a joke. Then I thought again, my dear, the Jiao Linliang family must be deliberately making people disgusting.
However, looking at the appearance of the princess, it seems that the Liang family is not deliberately disgusting, otherwise they would not have hung the "Modern Chariot Picture" and "The Ming Concubine Leaving the Wall" in this room.
Uncle Rong laughed dryly and said, "The Liang family of Jiao Lin is also on the road. They know that the talents and beauty of our four princesses are comparable to King Luoyan Mingjun, and their righteous deeds are comparable to Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty."
Why is the queen sneering?
Did your own horse hit the horse's leg?
Uncle Rong secretly complained in his heart, and quickly changed the topic, and said with indignation: "The Liang family did not know the time. Although they knew the righteousness of the four princesses, they forgot about the sorrow of the empress. How can these two paintings be hung in the palace for the empress to see? For the injury, it is better to let Ronger take it to Huiningguo Mansion to deal with it."
Princess Zhongshun's face sneered even more. "I summoned you to hold you accountable, but you set your sights on the famous paintings in the palace."
"Your Majesty is unjustly accused, no...Rong'er is unjustly accused. Ronger wholeheartedly cares for your Majesty, how can he be a shameless person who has the idea of a famous painting?"
The princess waved her hands in disapproval and sat up. He said seriously: "Aren't you a shameless person? Is there anyone as shameless as you in the world?"
Forehead……
"Empress..."
"The palace treats you well, and I treat you well. The Thirteenth Master regards you as the prince's nephew. None of the direct brothers in the palace are as popular with the Thirteenth Master as you are. You actually harmed the Thirteenth Master like this. Master?"
Uncle Rong opened his eyes wide and mumbled in confusion: "How did I harm Master Thirteenth?"
"You..." Princess Zhongshun planned to curse, but she was worried about what to do. Brother Zhao Rong said: "Come here and talk."
"Oh... Ouch, it hurts... it hurts... please be gentle, my dear."
Uncle Rong enjoyed having his ears pulled by the princess for the first time, and he was really merciless. "Empress..."
"If you weren't Ke'er's husband, I really want to chop off your head." The princess cursed. He leaned over again and whispered in Brother Rong's ear: "You ungrateful and heartless thing, how did the Thirteenth Master treat you in the past? Now, even though you know that the Thirteenth Master is in poor health, you still ask the Thirteenth Master to help you." Take care of the pimples."
"Does your Majesty know?" Brother Rong carefully rubbed his red ears and smelled the fragrance coming from the mouth of the beauty who was so close to Chi Chi. He felt so embarrassed. You can't avoid it, you can't hide it.
What's more, the princess, who is over forty years old, has few obvious wrinkles on her face. She smells the fragrance and feels a little excited.
She explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you may have misunderstood Rong'er. Rong'er just heard that Thirteenth Master was worried about acne, so she told Thirteenth Master about the method of treating acne by the miracle doctor in the sky."
"It's such a good idea, why don't you do it yourself."
"Well...it's an emergency. It's about people's lives, so Ronger has no choice but to report it to Master Thirteenth."
"Why don't you go directly to the palace to meet the saint?" The princess cursed with anger in her heart. "Such a good method. If you enter the palace and say long live, you can still get a lot of merit."
How could Uncle Rong dare to take this merit? He said sarcastically: "Don't you know that Rong'er is in a difficult situation? If she brought it to the palace, it would arouse suspicion today."
The empress was stunned. She naturally knows it, even more than Jia Rong.
He gave him a strange look and lost some of his anger. He sighed: "The Thirteenth Master cherishes his talents and treats you sincerely... But how could he forget his situation and go out with those people?"
The princess had great grievances, and these grievances were mostly due to the fact that Prince Zhongshun insisted on leaving the palace to promote cowpox cultivation despite his illness.
"There are so many officials in the court, including many princes. Why does he need to go there again and again..."
Brother Rong listened to the princess's complaint and said sarcastically: "The Thirteenth Master is also doing it for Dayan and the people. Doesn't the Queen know that the Thirteenth Master is devoted to the people and has long put life and death aside."
"You are chewing maggots for nothing. Isn't this your fault? If I had known this, I would not have allowed Master Thirteen to save you or protect you that day."
"..." Brother Rong was very embarrassed and whispered back: "Why don't Ronger go outside and find Master Thirteen now?"
"Can you hold him back?" the princess snorted. She couldn't even keep Thirteen, let alone Jia Rong. Of course, she also knew that no one could stop what Thirteenth Master had determined in his heart.
Even if the current emperor personally gives the order, it cannot stop the Thirteenth Master.
But, Thirteenth Master cares about the people and thinks about all the people. But he forgot that there were people in the palace who cared about him and missed him.
"Your Majesty, calm down." Brother Rong licked his face and gave her a shoulder with a smile. "The Thirteenth Master has great ambitions. We can't stop him, let alone stop him. We can only support him. If he is blocked, the Thirteenth Master will be dissatisfied even if he recovers from his illness. He may even suffer from heart problems, and the gains outweigh the losses."
"Heh..." The Princess glared at him and said: "Nothing too big, not too small, no sense of measure. Take your hands away, do you think I am someone like Jiayi who is so easy to coax?"
After the whole thing was clarified, Brother Rong saw that his mother-in-law was actually just angry for a moment, and now it's better to vent his anger. He plucked up the courage and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty is Ke'er's mother, and she is Rong'er's mother. It is right for a child to be filial to his mother, but if he is too unfamiliar, it is inappropriate."
"Just choose the one you want." The princess didn't stop him. Letting this bastard slump his shoulders, he couldn't help but think of his brother in the palace. So many brothers died young and caused a lot of trouble, and the younger ones were still ignorant.
No one understands people's hearts like this bastard.
It would be great if there was such a pleasing brother in the palace. I envy people outside, and I don't know what the situation is like between parents and children in middle-class families outside.
Will there be children who will pinch their parents’ shoulders and beat their legs? Will there be children who will laugh and play with their parents?
This has never happened before in the palace.
Just as he was sighing, he saw Brother Rong taking out a hairpin from somewhere. The kid's face was even brighter, "I was planning to give this thing to my concubine when I came in, but... fortunately I haven't forgotten it yet. Ronger, please plug it in for me."
The princess glanced at him with a smile, and naturally took the hairpin from his hand. I looked around. "This thing doesn't look like a vulgar thing. Where did you get the hibiscus hairpin?"
Brother Rong doesn't know much about these gold and jade jewelry, but he just sees them as exquisite, beautiful and gorgeous. Anyway, it won't be a shame no matter who you give them to. So I picked it out from the jewelry box of the Princess of Beijing County.
Xun'er's things don't belong to Uncle Rong.
Anyway, with this idea in mind, he shamelessly borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha.
"Don't worry, Madam, this thing comes from the right place. Although it is not a precious thing, it is a little bit of Ronger's heart."
"The pearls inlaid on it are not from our Dayan." The empress said, "These kinds of objects are usually in the palace. Occasionally, if they are circulated, they are given from the palace or collected by the people in Jinling. .”
Ahem...
Sure enough, women know these things very well, and they can guess the way out just by looking at them. Although it was not clear whether it was given by the palace or collected by Jinling, Jia Rong himself did not know.
Anyway, Zhen Xun's things may be from the palace, or they may be from Jinling.
"Rong'er, put it on your empress."
It would be great if he really was his own brother. The empress thought quietly, she didn't blame Brother Rong. Thinking about how this bastard boy behaved in front of me in the past few years, I actually became more pleasing to the eye.
Ask Brother Rong to fetch a glass mirror from the side cabinet and take off the hairpin from his head with his delicate hands. Asked: "Who have you worn a hairpin for before?"
"I wore it for my wife." Brother Rong said hehey. He has helped many people wear hairpins, and Keqing, Sister Feng, Baochai, Palace Judge, Daiyu and others have all enjoyed this treatment.
The princess's expression changed inexplicably, and she asked, "Have you ever worn it for your wife?"
Um...Youshi? I think should not be.
Although my relationship with Youshi is not bad, even close. But such actions should not happen. After all, Youshi was not her biological mother, but Jia Zhen's later fill-in.
There is not much age difference between the two of them, so it would be inappropriate for her to wear a hairpin.
He took a long look and saw the princess in the glass mirror. Judging from their appearance alone, it was probably impossible to tell who was older, she or Youshi.
"What are you touching, messing up your hair, and pulling your ears." The princess slapped his hand, then looked at herself in the mirror and said, "You are too young, not suitable for me."
"Your Majesty is getting very young." Uncle Rong knelt down, took a look in front of her, and said with a smile, "If people who don't know your identity look at her, they will just think that she is my sister."
"Nonsense." Every woman doesn't like others to compliment her on her youth, especially when she looks really young, she will be happy when others compliment her.
The princess glared at him with a smile. "Don't you want to be a filial child in the palace for a day? Why did you stop? I still want to see how you are filial."
