Under the gloomy sky, the boat docked beside the boat, and Xiao Langyan boarded the boat. As soon as the tall figure approached Sun Qingya, the girl couldn't help but raise her eyes, looking at the emperor timidly and curiously.
In the words of his father and brother, the young emperor "works hard to govern and is scornful". His eyebrows are high and his thick eyebrows, especially his thin eyes, are particularly dark and breathtaking.
He is even more majestic when he is not smiling.
Shen Dingzhu couldn't hide anymore, so she took Cui Lianfu out of the cabin and said hello respectfully.
"Your Majesty is here just in time. My concubine is taking Miss Sun San to visit the lake to enjoy the scenery."
"Are you just appreciating red leaves like this?" Xiao Langyan said with a cold face, holding a big palm behind his back and holding a fake maple leaf in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone took a closer look, and Sun Qingya covered her mouth in surprise: "It's a painted leaf!"
Each maple leaf is different, and the color painted on it is cinnabar.
Afraid that Shen Dingzhu would be punished, Nanny Song hurriedly stepped forward, knelt in front of Xiao Langyan and explained: "Your Majesty, this is..."
"I want to listen to your concubine." Xiao Langyan stared at Shen Dingzhu with his thin eyes and forcefully interrupted the next words of Nanny Song.
Shen Dingzhu let out a slow breath, her beautiful black eyelashes slightly drooped, and when she raised her eyes again, her eyes were gleaming and her red lips were plump and soft.
"There was a strong wind the night before, and yesterday I discovered that almost all the red maples in the maple forest had fallen into mud. Thinking that Miss Sun San was going to the palace to appreciate the maples, and the emperor's decree had been issued, I came up with this idea. Confuse the real with the fake.”
Xiao Langyan only knew that she was good at calligraphy and female celebrities, but he didn't know that what Shen Dingzhu was best at was actually painting. Before Shen's father taught her calligraphy, he first made her study painting with Confucian masters for many years.
Therefore, Shen Dingzhu's copying skills are very skilled, let alone painting some red leaves?
Last night, she painted thousands of red leaves overnight and called on the entire Yaoguang Palace to help. Everyone worked together to apply cinnabar and hang fake maple leaves.
Shen Dingzhu was tired until the third watch. She rubbed her brows tiredly many times. Shen Bi persuaded her to go to bed, but she refused.
After telling all the facts and reasons, Shen Dingzhu lowered his head: "The maple leaves are fake, but my concubine's intention to let Miss Sun San appreciate the red maple is true. I did not intend to deceive the emperor and Miss Sun San. Please forgive me. "
Xiao Langyan's thin eyes were deep and he stared at her with complicated eyes. The dark and cold meaning in his eyes seemed as if Shen Dingzhu had done something that made him sad.
Only Sun Qingya's eyes gradually brightened when she looked at Shen Dingzhu.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry that my daughter's entry into the palace has caused trouble for you," Sun Qingya said sincerely. She frowned and put herself in her shoes, "Thousands of red leaves were completed overnight to create such a fake and real thing. Scenery."
Sun Qingya was filled with emotion: "Qingya is very touched by your mother's heart. This will be more memorable to Qingya than seeing the real maple leaf forest."
As she said that, she looked at Xiao Langyan: "Your Majesty, can you give the thousands of red leaves painted by the imperial concubine to your daughter? I want to keep it well."
Xiao Langyan pursed his thin lips and said, "Take it if you like it." Although he was answering Sun Qingya's words, his cold eyes were still fixed on the obedient Shen Dingzhu who bowed his head.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Qingya said, with a girl's unique bright and lively tone.
Shen Dingzhu suddenly thought of something, and she couldn't help but speak, with a beautiful smile.
"I just remembered that Miss Sun San also has a hobby of collecting calligraphy and paintings? The Emperor has many unique copies. If you can ask for the Emperor's permission, you can take a good look at them."
Sun Qingya's eyes were indeed as bright as stars. She quickly looked at Xiao Langyan, her tone cautious, and with a blushing tone: "Your Majesty, can I go and have a look?"
Xiao Langyan took a slow breath, and Xu Shou stood behind him, feeling that the cold air coming out of his emperor was about to freeze him to death.
What's wrong with Concubine Shen today, so enthusiastically bringing others together with the emperor?
Didn't Concubine Shen realize that the emperor made a special trip to see her?
"You come with me on the boat and go to the library to see it." Xiao Langyan said solemnly to Sun Qingya.
This sudden blessing was like a gift, making Sun Qingya's moon-white cheeks extremely pink.
She lowered her head, thinking of something embarrassing, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shen Dingzhu took the lead and said, "Send me off to your Majesty."
She has a natural complexion, is delicate and beautiful, and has a respectful attitude. There is nothing wrong with her.
Cui Lianfu and the two noblemen Tong and Zhang also quickly stood behind Shen Dingzhu and sent off the emperor and the future queen together.
Xiao Langyan originally turned around to leave, his back as cold as an iceberg. When he heard Shen Dingzhu's words, he turned around again and stared at her with dark eyes.
Shen Dingzhu lowered his head and felt a hot and dangerous look fall on her.
Sudden!
An autumn shawl with the fragrance of aloes covered her.
Before Shen Dingzhu could react, she touched the clothes with her slender jade fingers and felt the silk embroidery material and the slight warmth.
Only then did he realize that this was the coat Xiao Langyan had just worn.
"If you're afraid of the cold, don't come out to enjoy the breeze. Take my clothes and go back to your Yaoguang Palace." Xiao Langyan said his next words that sounded cold and filled with anger.
Then he left from the bridge and got on the boat he came from.
When Sun Qingya heard Xiao Langyan's sudden bad attitude towards Shen Dingzhu, she couldn't help but frown.
The imperial concubine is so good, why do you want to hurt her? The emperor's character is indeed as unpredictable as his father and brother said.
Shen Dingzhu tightened his cloak and said in a soft and calm voice: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Xiao Langyan took the silent Sun Qingya and left in a boat.
Standing on the bow of the boat, he saw the boat where Shen Dingzhu was sitting getting further and further away.
When his boat was almost out of sight, Shen Dingzhu pulled his cloak off his shoulders, put it on his arm, and entered the cabin with Cui Lianfu and the others.
This woman! !
He didn't even want to wear his clothes properly.
Xiao Langyan lowered his eyes and didn't speak much along the way, but Sun Qingya, on the other hand, was surprised and admired the beautiful scenery after a while.
But following the emperor was far worse than staying with Concubine Shen. Sun Qingya felt pressured and uncomfortable.
Arrived at the library.
The palace was filled with the aroma of ancient books. Sun Qingya was considered a talented woman and had read countless books in private. As soon as she entered this place, she felt dazzled.
She wandered among the bookshelves, but Xiao Langyan stood at the window absentmindedly, looking out with his hands behind his hands.
The weather is gloomy, it should be raining soon. At this time, should Shen Dingzhu have returned to Yaoguang Palace?
Just as he was thinking about it, Sun Qingya's voice of surprise came from behind him: "There is actually "Zhangzhou's Strange Stories from the Land" here."
Xiao Langyan looked back and said calmly: "My mother is from Zhangzhou. The books on the shelf you are looking at now were all collected for her."
Sun Qingya held the book and walked up to him with lotus steps. Her eyes were sparkling, bright and charming: "Really? My ancestral home is also Zhangzhou, and I am really destined to be with the emperor."
At this point, she suddenly realized that she was too straightforward, and quickly lowered her head, her ears turning red: "What I mean is..."
Xiao Langyan had already withdrew his gaze and said in an indifferent tone: "No need to explain, it's not important."
Sun Qingya felt embarrassed, and the redness on her face faded a lot. She silently walked back to the bookshelf and returned the book in her hand.
After that, she walked around and took a look, but accidentally took out a calligraphy book from the shelf with a rainbow-like font, round and beautiful fonts.
Reading from beginning to end, Sun Qingya found that this book was like someone's pen practice. She watched the author's handwriting grow from youthful to mature, becoming a unique style of elegance.
"Huh? This book has no signature or name, but the font is so grand and beautiful..." She looked down and saw the year number at the end of the book, which was the 36th year of Jiankang.
Isn't that the reign of the late emperor?
Before she could take a closer look, Xiao Langyan's cold voice came from behind: "Put it down."
