General doctor's wife

Chapter 19 Wing Ju
"Ladies, the Empress invited some ladies to take a look at your ladies' paintings." Qin Ranran's question was interrupted by a respectful voice of a young maid. Following behind Mrs. Cheng Engong, she walked to the side of the table.

The Empress and Fu Jia were looking at the pictures of chrysanthemums on the table and discussing something. When they saw a few people approaching, they hurriedly waved and said, "Come and take a look, I only think which one is good. It's really a choice." If you don't come out, Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Li are unwilling to help me."

"Your Majesty, I'm going to complain about my concubine's grievances. Everyone in the capital knows that we can't even write well. You let us do such elegant things. Isn't that embarrassing us?" Mrs. Qi laughed at herself smile.

"In the entire capital city, you two are the only ones who can expose your shortcomings and deal with them calmly." The queen finished with a smile, and waved to Mrs. Cheng Engong and Qin Ranran: "Come and see, both of you."

Mrs. Cheng Engong stepped forward and took a closer look at the scroll in front of her, only to see that the first one was a white chrysanthemum. The white chrysanthemum was directly drawn on silk as the background and drawn in lead white, which looked crystal clear and had a special charm.In the second picture, a few yellow chrysanthemums protrude from behind a jagged rock, which are outlined in fine brushwork and full of vitality.The third picture has only one red chrysanthemum, the color is bold, and the details are lifelike, which is quite vivid.

Qin Ranran followed Mrs. Cheng Engong and looked at the signatures below. The white chrysanthemum was written by Qi Chuchu, the daughter of Mrs. Qi, the yellow chrysanthemum was written by Feng Yaru, the daughter of the Zhennan Houfu, and the last red chrysanthemum was written by the Minister of the Household Department. Made by Wu Yilan.

"It's no wonder that the empress can't choose. I just think that every picture is good. Why don't I hand it over to His Majesty and let His Majesty choose it?" Mrs. Cheng Engong winked at Qin Ranran, signaling her not to Talk more.

Qin Ranran was a little puzzled, but she didn't show it on her face, she just stood aside smiling with her head down and her hands down.

"Yes, send them all to His Majesty, let His Majesty have a headache." The queen smiled lightly, and beckoned her servant to put away the scroll and send it to Emperor Deqing.

Soon, the little servant ran back and confessed: "Your Majesty, His Majesty said that he is very interested today, so he invited His Majesty to take the young ladies who are willing to travel with you to the Imperial Garden."

The queen immediately understood His Majesty's intentions, and said to the wives: "I will take these little girls to the imperial garden for a walk, please sit here for a while." After finishing speaking, she stretched out her arms to signal Fu Jia and Qin Ranran supported her, and said to Wan Qiu: "Ban Qiu is the most capable person by my side, if you need anything, just look for her."

A few quick-witted people immediately understood the intention of the empress, and hurriedly winked at their daughters, or stepped forward or back to find their own positions.And those who reacted a bit too late and didn't understand the meaning just told them not to cause trouble.

Wan Qiu looked at everyone with a smile, keeping everyone's reactions in mind quietly.

"Ranran, I'm a little tired. You can follow me when you arrive at the Royal Garden. I'm always worried." Qin Ranran heard the queen's inaudible words, and the fingers holding the queen's arm were in the wide sleeves. The cover slid down to the wrist, and carefully checked the pulse.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's okay, it's just that I'm a little tired from the activities today, and I'll get someone to make a cup of ginseng tea for my Majesty later." Jiafu remembered Qin Ranran's words with a smile on his face.

Emperor Deqing's laughter came from another section of the flowers: "A Sheng, look, the young people nowadays are much better than their fathers. This poem is written with pride!"

The queen didn't look at it, but just smiled and said: "Your Majesty thinks it is good, it must be very good."

Seeing that the queen was a little tired, Emperor Deqing immediately pointed to the chair beside him: "Come and sit, Fu Jia, you are so good at taking care of your mother."

Fu Jia responded bluntly, standing beside the empress, seeing that the empress was fine, her gaze swept across a group of young princes.

Meeting the familiar pair of gentle eyes, Fu Jia's eyes lit up immediately, and the two exchanged a smile.

Emperor Deqing and the empress looked at each other affectionately between Fu Jia and Chen Zhixiu, the second son-in-law of Duke Feng, exchanged glances, and smiled even more happily.

Qin Ranran stood beside the queen and looked at the scene in front of her. Either Chen Zhixiu really liked the princess, or the city was too deep and good at acting, and deceived everyone...

Lu Chengan looked at Qin Ranran, who had been looking back and forth between Princess Fujia and Chen Zhixiu, and his doubts deepened.

What did Ran Ran discover?
"Your Majesty, there are three ladies whose paintings are all excellent. Let's take a look and choose the first one." The Queen said to Emperor Deqing gently.

Emperor Deqing looked at the scrolls in the hands of the maids, motioned them to spread the paintings on the table, and said to the Fifth and Seventh Princes, "Look, which one is the best."

Two tall men with smiles on their faces came out.A tall and burly man dressed in a crow-blue mottled robe, with handsome features and a nose very similar to that of Emperor Deqing, always with a gentle smile on his face.

The other looked a little younger, dressed in a royal blue robe with dark bamboo patterns, with star eyebrows and sword eyes, and looked very handsome.

"Father!" The two of them clasped their fists in a neat salute, and Emperor Deqing nodded with a smile, motioning for the two to go to the table and watch.

The two stood in front of the desk and watched with smiles for a while, discussed in a low voice, ignored those admiring eyes, and bowed to reply to Emperor Deqing: "Father, my seventh brother and I think this painting of white chrysanthemums is the best. , using white silk as the color of white chrysanthemum, the idea is slightly better, and this painting is vivid and vivid, it can be the first."

Emperor Deqing laughed loudly: "Queen, I will leave the first prize to you."

The queen should have smiled, looking at Qi Chuchu with a trace of unnoticeable worry in her gentle eyes.

"The boss is not here today, otherwise you three brothers can still look at it together. He still has some insights into the painting." Emperor Deqing suddenly remembered something and spoke to several people.

The Seventh Prince immediately made an aggrieved look: "Royal father, why do we brothers have the opportunity to see the paintings here, please give us a chance to express ourselves."

Emperor Deqing smiled even more happily: "Lao Qi is a child's heart."

"Your Majesty is loving, so the children dare to act like a spoiled child to Your Majesty." The queen calmly sipped the ginseng tea that Fu Jia asked to serve.

"The winner of today's painting has been selected, and the poem, Liu Hai, show it to the queen." Emperor Deqing stroked his beard and waved at Liu Hai.

The queen watched carefully, and Qin Ranran was also looking at the poems on the paper behind the queen.

The words are gorgeous, the fonts are weak, and the rhymes are not appropriate... Every time Qin Ranran reads a song, she will silently pick out the faults in it, until the last few pages, her mind has drifted away.

"The only one that can withstand the cold is Dongli chrysanthemum, and the golden millet is clearer at the dawn of dawn."

She silently chewed this line of verse in her memory for two lifetimes.After a while, he looked up at Lu Chengan.

All words are in a smile.

　I don't know how to write poems, so I borrowed from Bai Juyi's "Ode to Chrysanthemum"
