Phoenix Queen

"Since these paintings are not authentic, then... where are the authentic works?" Jing Feng squinted his eyes. Even though he was wearing a dragon robe, even if he didn't express it intentionally, the oppression emanating from him made the air a little dignified. point.

Under normal circumstances, Jing Feng would seldom show such an expression, but Jing Feng couldn't help but pay attention to everything related to Beimingyu, "Mr. Ouyang...is the authentic work on Chunyu Qing's singer? "

Ouyang Yixian shrugged his shoulders, fixed his eyes on the money bag in his hand, played with the money in the money bag and said, "Who will know... spring, summer, autumn and winter, I have been painting for a whole year, waiting for four paintings After finishing it, I returned to Shouhuang. I originally wanted to hand over the picture to the master, but Qingge told me that Master Deng Jin had left Shouhuang for more than half a year, so I put the painting away and waited until three Years later, Master Deng Jin came to the Shouhuang again to ask for the painting... These few fakes were painted by Meng Na in the past three years."

After talking for a long time, Ouyang Yixian was obviously thirsty, but after swallowing his saliva, Mei Yue handed Ouyang Yixian a cup of hot tea with interest.

"Thank you!" Ouyang Yixian smiled and drank the tea in one gulp. At the end, he still didn't forget to praise, "This is a good old lady, you...you, why did you just soak it up like this? Ah, waste!"

Hearing these words, Xia Ying felt strangely familiar, and couldn't help touching her nose. When she saw Ouyang Yixian's painful expression, Xia Ying unconsciously burst into a faint smile. Yue just washed the tea with boiling water and poured it into the teacup.Baili Fengye's long and narrow red phoenix eyes also showed a bit of sadness, but he never dared to say it, it's just... unknowingly, almost all the tea in their Kunhua Palace was full of Baili Li Fengye made it.

At first, she didn't feel anything, and Xia Ying couldn't tell the difference, but after a long time, she had to admit it.It is true that the tea brewed by Baili Fengye will taste better, and the aftertaste in the mouth will be longer, and the tea brewed by her and Mei Yue will often have an unspeakable astringency... But, I don't know where Baili Fengye went, it seems.After coming to Hua Chu with Xia Ying, Baili Fengye had never disappeared in front of Xia Ying for such a long time.

Just thinking about it, Ouyang Yixian drank several more cups of tea, and then said, "At that time, Mengna felt that what she copied was very similar. It was almost exactly the same as the real one, so, Mengna pretended not to pay attention. Three of the four paintings have been replaced by her own imitations..." At this point, Ouyang Yixian smiled slightly and shook his head from time to time, as if he saw a child playing a prank. It can be seen that this Chunyu's two daughters.They are all mischievous masters, "At that time, I didn't expect Mengna to be so bold. I didn't look at it carefully, and just handed all the brocade boxes to Master Deng Jin."

After a little recollection, Ouyang Yixian continued, "After getting the painting, the master left, and Meng Na never told me that she changed the painting, and after another half a year, Master Deng Jin found me again and told me Below, these three pictures are all fake..."

That was an autumn six years ago...

Ouyang Yixian was in front of Chunyu Qingge's bed, looking at the familiar room, sighing a few times from time to time. At that time, he was the court painter guarding the imperial palace...

Even if it's autumn, if you're outside the palace, you can see fallen leaves everywhere. When the wind blows, the dead leaves all over the sky will float up and turn around, like golden butterflies one after another, waiting When the wind subsides, those golden drops will gradually fall to the ground again, going round and round, often the opposite!

Once... Chunyu Qingge liked the dead leaves in the wind the most. Compared to Chunyu Mengna, Chunyu Qingge seemed much quieter. That woman once went outside the palace just to see the fallen leaves all day At that time, Gui Haixili was still a troublesome child. She and Chunyu Mengna were born at odds. The two often got together to quarrel. There is no way to separate Gui Haixili and Chunyu Mengna, except her...except Chunyu Qingge!

With a wry smile, in Ouyang Yixian's memory, only that autumn is the one he will never forget, because... that year, she didn't ask him to accompany her to go outside the palace to see the fallen leaves dancing all over the mountain!

Chunyu Qingge died in that year!

In that autumn, in Shouhuang's palace, there were flowers blooming everywhere, of various colors. Ouyang Yixian couldn't name it, but he knew... In Shouhuang's palace, there would be flowers blooming in all seasons, even if autumn should be Everything withered, but... that autumn, the flowers of Shouhuang bloomed more beautifully than spring.

In that autumn, Chunyu Qingge died, and Chunyu Mengna got married for the first time... to Yan Wei.

In the winter of the same year, Gui Haixili grew up overnight, hugged his brother who couldn't even speak, and married Hua Chu...

In the warm spring of the following year, it will bloom again, but the old man is long gone!

There was no time to be sad, under everyone's gaze, Ouyang Yixian slowly opened his lips, whispering everything about that autumn.

Master Dengjin came on the fifth day after Chunyu Qingge's death. When she died, she had no time to put on the clothes embroidered by her laziest sister. Everyone knows Chunyu Mengna's embroidery skills Well, however, Chunyu Qingge has never seen her hold a needle for more than an hour...

As time passed, it was time for the girls of Chunyu's family to get married. Chunyu Qingge had a marriage contract with Yan from the moment she was born. Seeing that the wedding date of her sister and the prince was getting closer, how could Chunyu Mengna get married? Yi Yi agreed to embroider two wedding dresses for herself and her sister, but unfortunately... when she appeared holding the wedding dresses, Chunyu Qingge had closed her eyes forever.

How could a dead person wear bright red clothes, but Ouyang Yixian knew that she was so eager to wear her sister's blessing, so Ouyang Yixian took a paintbrush and drew a picture on the bright red embroidered dress, The painting is the fallen leaves in the heavy snow, covering all the red. When Chunyu Mengna embroidered this wedding dress, she must have never imagined that...the wedding dress changed to a mourning dress, and her sister would wear the color-changed embroidered dress. The service chief is buried underground!

"He's here again!" It was the fifth day of Chunyu Qingge's burial.Chunyu Mengna hugged a white cat, she hadn't seen a smile on her face for a long time, she opened the door of her sister's room, and said to Ouyang Yixian, "Go and see, he is here."

Ouyang Yixian didn't know who he was in Chunyu Mengna. At that time, he was indifferent to everything in this world, and stayed in Chunyu Qingge's room all day long.He didn't even paint anymore, he was sluggish like an idiot.

"Meow……"

The white cat in Chunyu Mengna's hand screamed and jumped out of her embrace. Perhaps it was frightened by its master's different aura, and the white cat immediately hid behind Ouyang Yixian, using its sharp teeth Biting Ouyang Yixian's trouser leg.

There was a burning pain on his face.Chunyu Mengna yelled at him, "It was my sister who died, I didn't even cry, why are you crying!"

Ouyang Yixian didn't speak, but retorted in his heart, when did he howl.He obviously couldn't even shed a single tear.

Until now, no one would understand Ouyang Yixian's mood at that time.

Chunyu Mengna pinched Ouyang Yixian's shoulder. "I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"

The white cat obviously didn't understand how its owner could suddenly become so scary, and kept meowing at Chunyu Mengna, which annoyed Chunyu Mengna, so she picked up the skin on the cat's back and pulled The white cat was thrown outside the house.

With a bang, I think the white cat had fallen into the small pond outside the house.

This to this moment.Only then did Ouyang Yixian speak the first sentence, "You are crazy. What if you drowned the sago?"

Chunyu Mengna sneered, "You can still talk, I thought you died with your sister."

That white cat was called Sago, but Chunyu Mengna never called it by its name, only called it kitten... That cat was originally a wild cat, but one day I thought it was very hungry, and I don't know how to get around it At that time, Chunyu Mengna was sitting in front of the window reading a book, when she heard a cat meowing, a palace lady gave her some food, and she didn't finish eating, so she ate all of them. After feeding the white cat, every day after that, the cat would circle around her window twice, coming and going, and Chunyu Mengna raised it.

At the beginning, this cat was afraid of everyone except Chunyu Mengna. Later, after a long time, it also developed feelings for Chunyu Qingge...

During Chunyu Qingge's lifetime, this cat was one of the few things that could be called his favorite. Among the two portraits that Ouyang Yixian painted for their sisters, at least eight out of ten contained this cat...

Everyone knows that cats are afraid of water, Ouyang Yixian went out and jumped into the water when he heard the sound of water... and picked up the cat.

When he stood wet on the shore with the white cat in his arms, the first words he heard were, "Amitabha!"

"Master!" After handing over the white cat to the guard, and instructing him not to hand the cat over to Chunyu Qing's singer, Ouyang Yixian put away his sadness and chatted with Master Deng Jin.

"The poor monk heard that the benefactor of Qing Ge has reached bliss, and hope that the benefactor of Ouyang will mourn and change." Master Deng Jin had a smile on his face that was indifferent to everything, and calmed Ouyang Yixian for no reason, "The benefactor of Qingge It is a poor monk who has seen a rare wise man, but unfortunately, the early wisdom hurts the body, the donor Qingge sees too clearly, and most of them are incompetent, maybe... this may not be a good thing for her! Qingge donor and the poor The monk is destined, three years ago, she also said something to the poor monk, if the benefactor really treats her well, please take good care of your body, the poor monk guessed that this should be the greatest wish of the benefactor Qingge during his lifetime!"

Ouyang Yixian let the cold wind blow all night, thinking about Master Deng Jin's words, he suddenly felt that he had really let Chunyu Qingge down, and then he came out of his sorrow. It was also from that day on that Ouyang Yixian's painting skills were He advanced by leaps and bounds overnight, and leaped to another level, but... from that day on, he burned all the portraits he had painted before. From then on, he only painted mountains, rivers and mountains, and never painted any pretty portraits of people. Therefore, Ouyang Yi The identity of the fairy palace painter has also come to an end.

"I don't know why Master came here?" Ouyang Yixian introduced Master Deng Jin to the Chen Palace where Chunyu Qingge lived, "Master, please."

Master Deng Jin sat down, and carefully took out the three paintings from the monk's robe. Ouyang Yixian put them together and saw that they were the ones he had given to Master Deng Jin half a year ago, "This...is this?"

Ouyang Yixian didn't understand what it meant, and frowned unconsciously, but where is the painting not good?

"Benefactor Ouyang, please take a closer look." Master Deng Jin pieced together the scroll for him, and looked at it for a while.It was only then that Ouyang Yixian realized...that was indeed not his handwriting, "This... this girl, master, please don't take offense, Mengna is stubborn, really... really..."

"Nothing!" Master Deng Jin shook his head faintly, "Everything has its own cause and effect. If Donor Mona hadn't changed the painting, I wouldn't have time to send Donor Qingge for the last time!"

Ouyang Yixian's heart trembled, his eyes darkened. "Master... I have seen Qing Ge!"

"When the poor monk came to Shouhuang, he happened to see the body of the benefactor of Qingge being sent to the imperial mausoleum. The poor monk didn't want to be busy, so he gave the benefactor a ride after everyone left."

"Alright, alright!" Ouyang Yixian's voice was choked with sobs. "During her lifetime, Qingge admired the master the most. If she had a spirit in the sky, she would be happy."

"Amitabha!" Master Deng Jin recited a Buddha's name, "To tell you the truth, Lord Ouyang, your paintings are very important to the poor monk. Can you ask Lord Ouyang to give the other three authentic paintings to the poor monk?"

"Naturally, naturally!" Ouyang Yixian stood up at that moment.However, she hesitated again, and then asked, "Meng Na likes these four paintings very much. During the three years before the master took away the paintings, Meng Na copied more than a hundred of them, and three of them are even more lifelike. If it weren't for If you distinguish it carefully, even my subordinates can’t recognize it. Dare to ask the master how to distinguish it!”

Master Deng Jin smiled slightly, "Don't say it, don't say it." After a pause, Master Deng Jin chanted the Buddha's name again, and then said, "Ouyang Master, if you really want to understand, you can go to Daxia to ask Prince Jing'an, she I will tell the cause and effect of everything to the benefactor!"

"Then, master, can you tell me that the master recognized these three paintings as imitations, and whether it has something to do with Qingge's modification?"

"Of course there are!" Master Deng Jin nodded without hesitation.

Ouyang Yixian quickly called Chunyu Mengna over, at this moment, Chunyu Mengna was already helping Sago wipe off the water stains on her body, as if she knew what Ouyang Yixian wanted her to do, Chunyu Mengna said nothing Then he put three of the paintings on the table, "Okay, I'll return it to you..."

Master Deng Jin opened the scroll and looked at it for a while, then nodded, "Thank you, benefactor."

Chunyu Mengna is not like Chunyu Qingge. She didn't have much respect for Master Deng Jin from the very beginning, so she immediately gave Master Deng Jin a blank look, "The monk can take it, I'm not as good as my sister, you are a monk and old man!" Running into other people's palaces is not afraid of tarnishing the girl's reputation."

"Mengna!" Ouyang Yixian scolded, "Why did you talk to Master?"

Chunyu Mengna rolled her eyes at Ouyang Yixian, and pointed at Ouyang Yixian, "You don't care what I say, you are a painter, at best, you are just a teacher who taught me how to paint, and you made me unhappy, so I still treat you like this say something."

As if feeling that it wasn't enough, Chunyu Mengna added a few more words, "My sister died because she was too kind...I don't want to be the second her!"

Ouyang Yi was so angry that he only felt a headache. Seeing Chunyu Mengna holding the white cat and leaving without looking back, Master Deng Jin suddenly stopped her, "Mengna benefactor, please stay."

Chunyu Qingge turned back with a sneer, "What does the monk have to say?"

"Benefactor, since letting go is obtained, and the past is like smoke, why should the benefactor be persistent?"

Chunyu Mengna sneered twice and shook her head again and again, "I can't understand a single word of what the monk said. You should save these words and go underground and talk to my poor sister, she will eat this It's a set!"

Master Deng Jin sighed, "Amitabha, sin is sin."

Ouyang Yixian didn't know what they were playing dumb, and just kept apologizing to Master Deng Jin. Fortunately, Master Deng Jin didn't care about Chunyu Mengna.

"I got the painting, benefactor Ouyang, the poor monk will go back now." Master Deng Jin brushed the monk's robe and was about to leave.

It was already late at that time, Ouyang Yixian repeatedly tried to persuade Master to stay, but Master Deng Jin finally stayed and lived next door to Chunyu Qingge Yishui House!

It never occurred to Ouyang Yixian that his stay... would cause disaster!

Ouyang Yixian discussed Buddhist scriptures with Master Deng Jin, and after the midnight, Master Deng Jin went to the next door to rest. At that time, Ouyang Yixian was also extremely tired, and he fell asleep soon after Master Deng Jin left.

Drowsy, I don't know how long I slept, suddenly heard some very noisy voices outside, Ouyang Yixian struggled to open his eyes, however, what imprinted in front of his eyes was red, and there was a big fire.

A guard shouted outside the door, "It's gone, it's gone!"

Ouyang Yixian ran out with difficulty, the tongue of water almost rolled Ouyang Yixian in, he couldn't figure out how the fire started...

Chunyu Qingge's Yishui Pavilion is surrounded by water. From a distance, this place seems to be surrounded by water, completely like a small island in the water. Generally speaking, this place is the entire Shouhuang Palace. , the most difficult thing to get out of the water, but it happened to be on fire.

Some guards tried to rush in to rescue him, but the fire was so intense that they blocked everyone from the door...

If the fire started before Master Deng Jin came, then... Ouyang Yixian would definitely not struggle, and even faintly feel that it would be good to be burned to death.But, it can't work now, what Master Deng Jin said is right, he can't die, he still has too many doubts in his heart, and...whether it's Chunyu Mengna or Gui Haixili, neither of them makes people worry Lord, how could he be burned alive like this!

Ouyang Yixian yelled loudly, but the smoke soon choked into his throat, he didn't dare to speak again, he just poured the cold tea on the table onto his sleeve to cover his mouth and nose. When Xian felt that he was about to be burned to death, someone pulled his sleeve...

In the smog, he couldn't see anything clearly, but he heard a few soft sounds of cats, and then someone pulled the hem of his clothes forcefully, Ouyang Yixian quickly lowered his head, and looked down. Look, it's none other than Chunyu Mengna!

Ouyang Yixian never imagined how Chunyu Mengna would appear here, "You... why are you here!"

"Hurry up!" Chunyu Mengna looked up at him, "You still have the heart to ask me, come down quickly, you really want to be cooked and eaten!"

Only then did Ouyang Yixian squat down and jump inside... Ouyang Yixian had entered and exited Yishui Pavilion so many times, he never thought that there would be a hidden pavilion here!

"Hurry up, the fire will come in after a while, the wood will be caught, and if it is loosened, it may fall and hit someone." Chunyu Mengna held Ouyang Yixian's hand tightly, she led the way, and the dark pavilion The inside is already like a steamer, as if it is about to roast people alive.

From time to time, there were several heavy noises from overhead, presumably it was the sound of the beam being burned and falling on the wooden board.

"Mengna, how could there be such a thing in Yishui Pavilion?" While running, Ouyang Yixian didn't forget to turn around and ask a few times, "Why didn't I hear Qingge mention it before."

"What?" Chunyu Mengna shook Ouyang Yixian's hand away suddenly, "You don't think I dug the secret pavilion, but I set it on fire!"

"Why do you think that way!" Ouyang Yixian sighed, "Run, after a while, Sago will turn into a black cat!"

At this moment, the white cat's coat color is almost completely black.

Chunyu Mengna paused, looked at Ouyang Yixian for a while, seemed to be sure whether he was lying, but didn't see why, Chunyu Mengna shook her head, "I know my sister is your sweetheart... I played in the pavilion, and I finished it a few years ago. I was going to scare my sister to play, but I forgot later, and I only wanted to come here after it caught fire today. Fortunately... Fortunately, it was not sealed."

Your Excellency the Darkness has already been tainted with fire, under the firelight, that face that is exactly the same as Chunyu Qingge's can make people see the two of them at a glance...

After running for an unknown amount of time, they finally ran out. When they saw someone coming, the guards gave up fighting the fire, "This fire is too strange. How could it be so big? It seems that no amount of water can put it out."

"Hey! Did you smell a smell of wine? Although it's not obvious, but...but it's definitely wine!"

"Yes, yes, it really smells like wine!"

Listening to the chatter of several guards, Chunyu Mengna glanced at Ouyang Yixian, "You'll be fine if you live, I'll go and bathe the kitten."

Chunyu Mengna wiped off the sweat from the fire, hugged the white cat, and walked to the water bridge. After a while, that Qingcheng's face had already been stained with a lot of dust, her fair face One black, one white...

Chunyu Mengna left against the firelight, Ouyang Yixian looked at her back and sighed slightly... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
