marriage gentleman

Chapter 13

The palace man spread out the drawing paper and prepared the pen and ink.

Qi Guang paced to the painting table, rolled up his sleeves, the brush was stained with ink, with a few strokes, a figure gradually appeared on the drawing paper, standing on the top of the mountain, looking up at the sky.

When Lu Li came in, one of Qi Guang's paintings was almost finished.

He stepped forward silently and saluted Qi Guang.

Bald Qi didn't raise his head, and said, "Get up, Jing Heng, why don't you come over and take a look at the painting of the widow?"

Lu Li took a look with his probe, and there was a smile in his eyes.He said warmly: "High mountains and flowing water, could it be that your majesty is waiting for a bosom friend? And the person standing on the top of the mountain is the bosom friend in your majesty's heart?"

Qi Guang added the last stroke, but drew a small house beside the figure.

She put down her paintbrush and said, "No, no."

Lu Li said: "This humble minister is stupid, and cannot guess what His Majesty means."

Qi Guang glanced at him and said, "Jing Heng, you were quite smart a few days ago? You guessed the widow's mind very well. Why are you so stupid today? Do you know what is the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Lu Li still smiled gently and said, "I really can't guess what His Majesty meant, maybe it was just a coincidence last time."

For the first time, Baldy Qi realized that Lu Li's thoughts beside him were hard to guess. Looking at his appearance, he was so sincere that he couldn't be more sincere, as if the last time was really a coincidence, or her thoughts were too easy to guess.

Suddenly, Qi Guang's eyes deepened.

Lu Li's cheeks were slightly red, maybe it was because of the hot weather, the sun made her cheeks a little red, and it happened to be her favorite red.Qi Guang called out: "Jing Heng is tired after coming all the way, Jiang Dezhong, please give me a seat."

Jiang Dezhong quickly moved a chair over.

After Lu Li sat down, he said again: "I am curious, what is the meaning of His Majesty's painting?"

Qi Guang asked the palace servants to carry the painting case to the window so that the brush and ink on the painting paper could be dried.Then she moved to the imperial concubine's couch, drank Yuqian Longjing, and said: "It doesn't mean anything, it's just a whim."

So no matter what Lu Li guessed, it was wrong, because she herself didn't know what the purpose of drawing such a picture was.

Apart from collecting beauties, Qi Guang also has another hobby, which is painting.There are many paintings by Qi Guang hidden in the quiet room next to the bedroom, and Qi Guang often paints in the quiet room in his spare time.

She was very talented since she was a child. At the age of four, the paintings of birds singing and flowers were praised by the court painters.Later, Qi Guang studied hard and practiced hard, but after Huizong found out, he thought that Qi Guang's move was no less than playing with things and losing his ambition, so he burned all of Qi Guang's paintings.

Qi Guang was depressed for a long time, and it was not until the second year after he ascended the throne that he began to take up the brush again.

The painter at that time also said to Qi Guang: "If Diji can practice hard for ten years, with Diji's talent, she will surely achieve great success in the future and become a master of the generation."

When Qi Guang thought of it later, he could only smirk.

She had never imagined the state of great accomplishment.

Painting is just one of her hobbies, if she studies hard for the sake of great success, it will go against her original intention of painting.

Lu Li said with a smile: "That's how it is. Your Majesty is very elegant. If you don't have it, you have it. If you have it, you don't have it. This kind of state of mind is far behind."

Qi Guang looked at him, and said again: "Jing Heng's tongue is like a lotus flower, no wonder."

"Weichen just told the truth to Qin Yushi, without any exaggeration." Lu Li got up and said, "How about Jing Heng making a cup of Yuqian Longjing for His Majesty?"

Qi Guang glanced at the tea in the cup and said, "That's fine."

Jiang Dezhong brought the tea set.

Qi Guang sat on the imperial concubine's couch, watching Lu Li make tea.After a long while, Qi Guang turned his head away, sighing inwardly that beauty misleads others.It was as if Lu Li had dug out her heart and put his heart in it. Jiang Dezhong also made tea in the same way, but the tea leaves or teacups were in his hands, but it was as if he had just passed through the sunset. Out of the corner of the eye, his reddish face has reached a new level of handsomeness.

Every move seemed to tease her heart.

"Your Majesty, the tea is ready."

When Qi Guang took the teacup, he trembled a little, and he didn't know whether it was his heart or his hands.She took a sip, and Lu Li looked at her expectantly.Qi Guang said: "No... not bad."

Lu Li said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Qi Guang seemed to think of something, squinting at him.

"Lu Li, you really didn't mean it?"

Lu Li was puzzled and said: "I don't know what His Majesty means."

Qi Guang said: "Forget it, let's pretend that the widow didn't say it."

At this moment, Jiang Dezhong, who was originally waiting outside the hall, hurried in with a flustered expression on his face.When Qi Guang saw this, he knew that something was wrong.Jiang Dezhong was like a man. To have such an expression on his face, something big must have happened.

She shouted: "Why panic, don't panic. What happened?"

Jiang Dezhong trembled his lips, and said: "Return...to His Majesty's words, there is a news from the Lin family...the news that Mr. Lin Wuzi died of illness." Qi Guang was stunned all of a sudden.

Why did Duanduan die of illness?He was frightened and fell ill for a long time.It took Qi Guang a while to recover, and asked, "Why did you die of illness?"

Jiang Dezhong swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and said, "I haven't figured it out yet."

Qi Guang said: "Then what are you doing here, go and find out."

As soon as Jiang Dezhong left, Qi Guang became a little anxious.

The fifth son of Lin died of illness, Lin Quan will inevitably blame himself, and there will inevitably be gaps between the monarch and his ministers.

Lu Li said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we still don't know the cause of Fifth Young Master Lin's death. Lin Shangshu is a sensible person, and he will never blame His Majesty in his heart because of this." After a pause, Lu Li said again: "King Min usually If your Majesty is worried, it is better to ask Min Wang to express condolences to the Lin family instead of His Majesty."

Qi Guang was a little anxious at first, but after hearing Lu Li's words, he immediately calmed down.

That's right, she almost forgot that Qi Xuan had a good relationship with Mr. Lin Wu and was her imperial brother, which just happened to express the importance that the king of a country attached to the Lin family.

"This proposal is very good." Qi Guang clapped the desk and said, "Come here, pass on King Min."

Not long after, Jiang Dezhong came back, and his face turned pale again.With a puff, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and said, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, this slave deserves death."

Qi Guang couldn't help frowning, and asked: "What is the cause of Mr. Lin's death?"

Jiang Dezhong tremblingly said: "Physician Zhang said that Mr. Lin Wu was frightened, and then he contracted a cold. Mr. Lin can't smell the smell of coral, and accidents will happen if he smells it. Before, His Majesty asked the servants to go to the treasury to pick a few. The treasures were given to the Lin family to shock them, so the slaves decided to choose a few decent decorations, one of which was the jade Guanyin sent by the Great Wei. After Lin Wugong accidentally broke the Guanyin, he discovered that the outer layer of the Guanyin's eyeballs was white jade, and the inner layer was made of white jade. It's coral."

Wei people are really treacherous!The crime deserves to be punished!
When Qi Guang thought of Lin Quan's eyes, he couldn't help rubbing his brows.This situation is terrible, perhaps Lin Quan thought that she intended to kill his son, and if she couldn't get it, she would simply destroy and kill him, but she was really wronged.

Jiang Dezhong kowtowed again.

"Your Majesty, this slave deserves death."

Qi Guang said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, no one would expect such a thing to happen." She rubbed her eyebrows again, and at this time Lu Li said: "King Min should be here soon, Your Majesty don't need to worry."

After Lu Li's voice fell behind, the servant outside the door stepped forward to report.

"Your Majesty, King Min is here."

Qi Guang said: "Quick pass."

Qi Xuan strode in quickly, and was supported by Qi Guangxu just as he was about to salute.Qi Guang said: "Does the emperor know about the affairs of the Lin family?"

"I've heard about it along the way. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this matter is on my shoulders, and I will give Your Majesty a satisfactory explanation."

Qi Guang sighed: "Well, I will leave this matter to you, and comfort Lin Quan."

"Yes, my younger brother takes orders."

Qi Xuan looked up at Lu Li at this moment, and said, "It turns out that Minister Lu is also there."

Lu Li saluted.

"My minister has seen the prince."

Qi Xuan said again: "Your Majesty, I have already heard that Lu Shilang has a good tongue, Lin Shangshu is stubborn, I am afraid that I cannot be completely comforted by my servant alone, I am bold, I have a ruthless request. "

Qi Guang understood what Qi Xuan meant.

She ordered: "Jing Heng, you go to the Lin Mansion with the emperor's brother."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Qi Xuan bowed politely again, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." After that, he and Lu Li left together.Looking at the backs of the two of them, Qi Guang sighed softly.

I don't know when it started, but her imperial brother and her will never be the same as before.

When he was a child, Qi Xuan would hold her hand affectionately, call "Sister Huangjie", and mischievously trip her up.But time is like water, that Qi Xuan who would secretly bring food over when she was punished by her mother, was never seen again.
