Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 194
Tangtang woke up from sleep, because she was full at home before entering the palace, and now she hummed in her mother's arms for a while, and soon regained her energy, turning her black phoenix eyes to look curiously at Emperor Minghui, Lu Yun, looked at and yawned a little.

Emperor Ming Hui rolled his eyes with a smile, and stretched out his hand towards the little girl: "Come here and give Grandpa a hug."

Tangtang didn't recognize her birth, but when the child just woke up and was the most clingy to mother, the little girl turned her head and hid in mother's arms. Xiaopang also hugged mother tightly, only a pair of black and white eyes , looking secretly at the utensils on the low table.

Emperor Minghui found out, and picked up an empty tea bowl to tease the little girl over.

Tangtang's eyes followed the tea bowl.

Lu Mingyu coaxed softly: "Tangtang go, there are good things from the emperor's grandfather."

Tangtang looked up, seeing her mother was smiling all the time, Tangtang was encouraged, and finally became lively, she grinned towards Emperor Ming Hui, meaning she wanted to be hugged by the emperor's grandfather.Emperor Ming Hui hurriedly took the little girl over, put it on his lap and hugged it, holding the tea bowl for Tangtang to play with.

Lu Yun sat next to him and watched, both of them liked Tangtang very much.

Lu Mingyu was of course happy that her daughter was liked, but seeing Emperor Ming Hui hugging her daughter and sitting with her aunt like a family of three, Lu Mingyu felt a little sour in her heart.If Chu Xing was at home, he would definitely like his daughter as much as Ming Huidi did, right?How unfair, Chu Xing worked so hard to go to Nanzhong to serve the emperor, but his daughter was hugged and liked by the emperor, if Chu Xing could see the situation in the palace over there, I am afraid that his eyes would be red-eyed?
It was the first time that the husband and wife had been separated for such a long time after marriage. Lu Mingyu missed him and almost thought of her husband in everything.

Emperor Minghui sensed his niece's gaze, and stared blankly at him, as if looking at someone else.Emperor Ming Hui's mind was so clear, after a little thought, he guessed what his niece was thinking, and said with a loud smile: "Ah Nuan, don't worry, when Shi Jin comes back, I will give him a month's leave."

Seeing through her thoughts, Lu Mingyu blushed and lowered her head in denial: "Why did Uncle Huang mention this all of a sudden?"

The niece was thin-skinned, so Emperor Minghui thoughtfully let her go, and his eyes fell on Chu Ying, "I heard from your sister-in-law that Yingying is good at calligraphy and painting. I haven't admired a painting for a long time. How about Yingying painting a chrysanthemum for me and Concubine Rong? The painting is so good. I love it." There is a reward."

Chu Ying was terrified, and immediately bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, I, I only know a little bit about painting skills, so I dare not make a fool of myself in front of the Emperor."

Emperor Minghui said kindly: "It's okay, I just want to see the paintings made by your little girl, Yingying draws as she pleases, don't be nervous." After speaking, he winked at the chief eunuch Guo Yong.

Guo Yong nodded, and walked out quickly. After a while, several young eunuchs came in with the Four Treasures of the Study, Easel and Round Stools, and stood neatly in a row.Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty glanced at the chrysanthemums all over the room, pointed to the south window and said, "Put it over there."

The little eunuchs followed orders in an orderly manner, set them up, bowed their heads and retreated.

Emperor Minghui said to Chu Ying again: "Go Yingying, paint with peace of mind, don't need to think about it."

Chu Ying looked at her sister-in-law embarrassedly.

Lu Mingyu knew that Emperor Minghui wanted to match up sister-in-law and Liao Shou, but she couldn't think of the purpose of Emperor Minghui's arrangement, so she could only encourage sister-in-law softly: "Go Yingying, don't be nervous, even if you don't draw well, there will definitely be rewards of."

Chu Ying had no choice but to turn around and walk to the window.

Lu Mingyu wanted to go and have a look, but Ming Huidi said in time: "Ah Nuan is sitting here, your aunt misses you every day, you two have a good talk."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yun understood, and moved to his niece with a smile. Emperor Ming Hui was teasing Tangtang over there, and she held her niece's hand and chatted about family affairs.Lu Mingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and while talking to her aunt, she paid attention to Liao Shou in the distance, knowing that Emperor Ming Hui's letting his sister-in-law paint must have something to do with Liao Shou.

Liao Shou didn't know that Emperor Minghui was kind to him. After re-entering, he had been secretly looking at Chu Ying.I didn't have that kind of thought before, but now that the emperor wakes up, Liao Shou looks more and more satisfied with Chu Ying. Although he can only see Chu Ying's thin back from his position, Liao Shou also thinks the back is beautiful, including the little girl. Magnolia flower hairpin on the head.

But just watching is not enough. Liao Shou wanted to ask Chu Ying if he had a chance, but he was just a courtier, and he couldn't go to the emperor to find her rashly. He was worried about how to get close. The emperor suddenly asked her to paint. Follow her and go to the south window alone.

Liao Shou followed suit with his eyes.

The warm pavilion uses glazed windows, through which the warm winter sunlight shines in, and everything in front of the windows is bright. She stood there with the light behind her back, her face was unclear, and most of her body was blocked by the easel. Liao Shou I could only see her scanning the nearby chrysanthemums from left to right, then dipped her brush in ink, and started to draw.

She can even draw, she deserves to be a lady.

Thinking of her identity, Liao Shou couldn't help retreating again.Even if such a well-educated lady can marry into the family, what can he do with her?He can only wield knives and sticks, can't play chess or paint, just like a stone on the side of the road, but she is a precious flower raised in a greenhouse.

Although Chu Xing is a general, but seeing how Chu Xing dresses, behaves, and behaves, he knows that he and Lu Mingyu can definitely get along together, and he and Chu Ying are not worthy of each other.She didn't know him well before marriage, at most she thought he was decent looking, maybe she would agree to marry him a little bit, but once she found out after marriage that he was actually a rough man, a man who would sleep without washing his feet when he was tired, would she be able to marry him? like?

The chest that had just been warmed by the warm sun became cold again.

Liao Shou looked at her figure blurred by the sun from afar, thinking that after one more look, he left.

But just when he was about to leave, the girl behind the easel suddenly moved. She put down her paintbrush, took small steps, and walked to a pot of chrysanthemums that Liao Shou couldn't name and didn't even look at. waist, lowered his head and looked at the petals carefully.Liao Shou couldn't see what she was looking at, he just saw her staring at the flowers for a while, and then smiled.

The pretty cardamom girl squatted in front of a pot of pink lotus-like chrysanthemums, smiling softly, like a fairy who came down from the sky to enjoy the flowers.At that moment, Liao Shou couldn't hear anything, only the girl in pink was left in his eyes.

He couldn't help but walk over there.

Lu Mingyu was the first to discover his actions, and at this moment, she finally understood the emperor's good intentions.No matter how rough Liao Shou is, he must know how to avoid taboos. Even if he is interested in Chu Ying, he can't please Chu Ying for no reason in front of them.It's different now, Chu Ying is painting, Liao Shou came over, it can be said that he went to appreciate the painting, doing intimate things in the name of elegance.

"Does Tangtang live in the palace tonight?"

The voice of Emperor Ming Hui coaxing his daughter came from next to his ear. Lu Mingyu looked over and saw his daughter smiling at Emperor Ming Hui with her little face up. She couldn't speak, otherwise she would definitely open her mouth and agree.Lu Mingyu looked at her aunt who had been coaxed away by Emperor Minghui in one night. She had to admit that her uncle, the emperor, was really a master of romance.

I just don't know how my sister-in-law will respond.

Because she was certain that Liao Shou would talk to his sister-in-law at most and would never dare to bully others, so Lu Mingyu didn't go there, only observing the other side curiously.Not only her like this, Lu Yun and Ming Hui Emperor also looked at Liao Shou and Chu Ying with leisure time.

Chu Ying drew seriously, and Liao Shou's approaching steps were too light, so she didn't realize that there was a figure beside her. When she turned around and dipped in ink, she saw a man in black over there.Chu Ying was unprepared, Huarong turned pale with fright and took a step back, almost screaming out.

Liao Shou didn't want to scare her, and Chu Yingcang retreated, and then he recovered from the strange feeling of losing his soul. Looking around, he couldn't remember how he got here.Seeing Chu Ying standing in front of the easel with her head bowed, her cheeks gradually turning from white to red, Liao Shou coughed awkwardly, "I'm sorry for scaring you, I, I'm here to watch you paint."

In fact, he came to see her, but he didn't dare to say it. It was too fake to say that he came here to see chrysanthemums, and he couldn't even say it himself.

After Chu Ying was shocked, she guessed that he came to see the painting. She blushed because she was surprised. At this time, she heard the man's explanation. She looked at the hem of the man's clothes and asked nervously, "Master Liao can also paint?" The sister-in-law always praised her for her talent, but Chu Ying didn't have confidence in herself. She was afraid that she would meet a master in painting and laugh at her.

Her voice was soft and soft, and it was very pleasant to hear. Liao Shou looked at her shy appearance anxiously, and said without thinking: "I don't know..." Just after finishing speaking, he suddenly realized that he couldn't draw and come back Looking at her paintings, doesn't it make it clear that she has ulterior motives?

Liao Shou changed his words immediately, and said with a dry smile, "I'm only superficial, and I'm far behind you."

Chu Ying didn't know if he was being self-effacing, but it was the first time she was praised so bluntly by a foreigner, she blushed even more, and turned to look at her drawing board, "Lord Liao is too modest, my paintings can only be coaxed Tangtang, I can't do it."

She degraded herself too much, Liao Shou hurriedly said, "Who said that, I really think it looks pretty."

He took a step closer, and the tall figure happened to cover her. Chu Ying panicked and lowered her head even lower.Liao Shou knew that he had lost his composure, so he hurriedly backed away and looked towards the emperor with a guilty conscience. He saw those who were coaxing the children and chatting about the daily routines. , I'll just take a look."

Chu Ying didn't want to show it to him, but she didn't have the courage to chase away the guests, and she had nothing to say while standing still, so she had to bite the bullet and continue painting.However, there was a strange man behind her, and the feeling was completely different. Chu Ying couldn't concentrate, and always felt that the man seemed to be... looking at her.

Chu Ying really couldn't draw any more, but the emperor asked her to paint, and she had to show the emperor for a while.

Thinking of the friendship between Liao Shou and her elder brother, Chu Ying bit her lips, and said with a slight tilt of her head, "Liao, brother Liao, I'm not used to having people around me when I draw, and I don't dare to draw when there are people around. Brother Liao wants to see, wait I'll look at it when I'm done, okay?"

When asking someone for help, the address should naturally be softer.

A delicate "Brother Liao" came to her ears, and Liao Shou's bones were about to crumble. He nodded without thinking, without saying a word, for fear that if he stayed one step longer, he would disturb her drawing. Just returned to the original place.

Emperor Ming Hui saw it, and silently scolded his courtiers for being stupid.

Liao Shou was delighted, looking at Chu Ying's petite figure from a distance, and the soft and sweet "Brother Liao" echoed in his ears.
