Emperor's Red Makeup: The Duke is too black

Chapter 22 The Secret in the Painting
Tarbayou struggled to stand up to salute, but was supported by Xiao Lingzi, Empress Dowager Shengde also looked at him lovingly, and said: "Why do you salute when you are not well, the Ai family doesn't pay attention to these trivial etiquettes, come on, Your majesty, please sit down too, the weather is fine today, let's have a good chat."

There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of Tarba Rui's mouth, but it didn't appear on his mouth, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, my fourth brother and I have been ill for a long time, and the Queen Mother is busy with state affairs these days, we should have a good chat Let's chat, Xiao Lingzi, go prepare some fashionable melons and fruits."

Xiao Lingzi glanced at the Empress Dowager Shengde, and then slowly retreated after getting her permission.

However, Tarbayou's eyes flickered when he saw this scene. Thinking about it, the people around Empress Dowager Shengde have always looked down on the little emperor, Tarbarui?
Taba Rui didn't feel embarrassed, if she was embarrassed, how would she continue to perform this scene?
"Queen Mother, it is said that the woman that the fourth elder brother likes is very gentle, virtuous, and tender. You must give him a marriage." Ta Barui winked at Ta Bayou, Ta Bayou understood, and said respectfully: "Back to the queen mother, the woman my son likes is Lin Ke'er, the jewel in the palm of General Lin Xiaotian."

Lin Xiaotian?The Empress Dowager Shengde narrowed her eyes, isn't that her brother-in-law's brother? Speaking of which, it is also the influence of the Lu family.

Since he wants to support the Four Kings, it is not impossible for Lin Keer to marry him.

In a short while, the Empress Dowager Shengde had already calculated the benefits and losses, and said with a smile: "It is a good thing for two people to be happy, and the Ai family must be the master."

She is in charge of major affairs in the court, and Concubine Nan Shu, whom she trusts, is in charge of all matters in the harem. The emperor in front of him is afraid that he can't do anything.

"Then what time does the Queen Mother think is the best time to set the wedding date?" Taba Rui asked.

The Empress Dowager Shengde thought about it, and in one month it will be the congratulatory conference where all the small countries will come to congratulate her. It is definitely too late to prepare for the wedding. After all, she is the prince of Dayan, and this prince is still an important pawn in her hands. Over there, she also has to make arrangements.

Seeing her hesitation, Taba Rui said casually: "In two months, it will be August [-]th, or it will be on that day?"

"Alright, Yu'er, what do you think?" The Empress Dowager Shengde asked while holding Tarbayou's hand kindly.

"Everything is up to the queen mother." Tarba Rui lowered his eyes, still as plain, ordinary, and weak.

However, Taba Rui didn't believe that he was really such a person.

Seeing that he was so obedient, Empress Dowager Shengde was even more satisfied with this pawn, and praised him again and again.

"Since You'er's matter has been settled, what about the emperor's matter?" Empress Dowager Shengde suddenly looked at Ta Ba Rui with an inexplicable expression.

"What's my business?"

"The emperor has been changing different women for the past two years, but the few concubines in the harem are half-untouched. This is not good. Rain and dew are coming, this is the key to balancing the harem."

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager Shengde, Taba Rui had changed, became obsessed with women, and became fatuous.This is very good, there are many kings who died on women in the past!
Taba Rui stared at her with a smile in his eyes, but there seemed to be a slight coldness in that smile, the Empress Dowager Shengde was slightly startled, but she didn't know what she was shocked about.

"Queen Mother, I have entrusted you with important national affairs, but you still haven't given me a little space in matters of the harem. Could it be that those bitches forced you to teach me a lesson?"

Tarba Rui's voice is cold, anyone can hear that she is angry now!

Empress Dowager Shengde did not expect that Taba Rui, who has always been obedient, would make her unable to step down like this. Fortunately, there are only three of them at this moment, and the maids and eunuchs are all guarding at a distance, savoring his words carefully, presumably because of those few Only pretty women get angry, especially Long Qianqian, who is called a charming girl by Concubine Shu.

Empress Dowager Shengde sneered in her heart, she really couldn't pass the beauty test.

"Okay, the Ai family will not talk about the emperor. Whoever the emperor likes will go there. The Ai family is just a poor and lovely child who lives so lonely in the deep palace at a young age. If the emperor loves him , she might be able to be happier." As she spoke, she took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Tarba Rui also sneered for a moment in his heart, bitter trick?
Ta Bayou didn't speak, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, he just sipped the tea that had been cooling for a long time, intending to see how far this play would go?
"Since the queen mother said so, then I will go to see her tonight." Tarba Rui made a disgusted expression, and emphasized: "But I only went to see her for the sake of the queen mother." , and the rest, don’t think too much about it.”

"The emperor has this kind of heart, Aijia is really happy. If you think about it, Prime Minister Nan will be happy too." She was hinting at Ba Rui, which angered Nantong and made the court unstable, so Nan Kexin had to coax her.

Tarba Rui pretended not to know, but he didn't directly refute her words, but his complexion was a little bad, and he said: "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, so I went back to rest first, the queen mother and fourth brother can chat for a while."

"Then the emperor pays attention to his health, he should go back and ask the imperial physician to take a look." The Empress Dowager Shengde didn't plan to keep Tuba Rui any longer, the atmosphere was destroyed, so what was left?Besides, she finally had this opportunity to talk to Ta Bayou openly, how could she let it go?

Tart Bayou also worried: "The emperor take care of the dragon body."

Seeing that Tarbayou was about to get up, Tarbarui waved his hand, "I understand, fourth brother is inconvenient, so there is no need to send him off."

----

In the inner room of Jingrui Palace, Ta Barui was studying a painting in front of him, frowning very tightly.

"Your Majesty, you've been watching for over an hour, you should take a rest." Lu Yi came in with a bowl of blood swallow's nest, and advised softly.

"Lu Yi, come here." Taba Rui beckoned.

"Yes."

"Come on, let's see what is so special about this painting?" Taba Rui pointed to the five peaks in the painting and said.

The painting is a dangerous landscape, with five towering peaks, different heights, but with a ferocious majesty, under the peaks, you can't see the bottom clearly, but you can see the clear distribution of huge rocks on the peaks .

After looking carefully for a long time, Lu Yi shook her head, "I can't see anything, but these five peaks are like the five fingers of a person. Could it be that the key lies in the fingers?"

"I thought so too, but which finger is it on?"

"The emperor wants to find the treasure in this painting?" Lu Yi was puzzled, "But the emperor is not short of money, and it is not a time of war, civil strife is still pending, so it is useless to find this treasure."

"No, I don't believe this is a treasure. I just think that it was left by the late emperor to confuse everyone. Even if there is a secret in this painting, it cannot be a treasure." Tatba Rui affirmed.

Dayan's treasury is in her hands. She knows whether the late emperor really hid the so-called treasure in the painting. The existence of this painting may be the result of the late emperor's intention to confuse some people with evil intentions. It's a pity , the painting fell into her hand.

"The emperor really wants to know the secret?" Lu Yi was even more puzzled. Although she didn't know what kind of person the Palace Master was, she knew a thing or two. She would not be obsessed with other people's secrets unless that person was interested in him. She works!

However, the first emperor is dead, so it is completely useless to her.

"I really want to know." Taba Rui looked at the painting, if she deciphered the secret in the painting, her journey would be much easier!
"Give this painting to Qingfeng."

"Yes."

Tataba thought, with Qingfeng's wisdom and methods, he will definitely be able to find out the secrets in this painting!
