Chapter 15: The Controversy of Butterfly Fortune

In Nanxun Palace in May, Qinxin Yazhai, where wisteria flowers bloom, a graceful and light green figure is busy back and forth. The master and servant are both satisfied with the light green color as green as the grassland.

Although Xiao Hu is a general palace maid uniform, his facial features without makeup, and the bangs on his forehead add a heroic spirit against the backdrop of the morning light. He took out the note from his sleeve carefully and placed it on Yutang's hand, "I want to send a colorful flower and a ruler, and the mountains are long and the water is wide, where do I know?" A magpies tread on the branches carry thousands of words, not like the endless love words of others. He only told her that although he could not meet each other often outside the palace, his longing became stronger.

Although Yutang declined his aunt's intention to revive her family's voice, she spoke out to Hongli in her own way in exchange for sincere help. Xiaohu poured the newly collected petals into a stone mill and mashed them, quenched the juice and placed it in a porcelain plate in the incense burner. Yutang scented with a small fan of light, and the fragrance scattered everywhere. The rice paper hanging in the vegetarian room was also filled with fragrance, which made me intoxicated.

Xiao Hu: "Master, is this really useful?" Yutang smiled faintly and continued to incite, "Is it useless? Brother Hongli has done so much to take me back to the palace. I will do some things like this. When the time is almost over, you can send the scroll to Xiao Yunzi first." Xiao Hu nodded.

Noon is the time for the butterfly happiness. Hongzhou reads famous flowers and birds in Chunhui Hall, and the rich flowers such as peonies and pomegranates. They are completely different from the elegant style of his past paintings. He suddenly feels extremely boring. So he took the scroll to the imperial garden in advance to find inspiration for painting. When he reached the corner, he collided with Xiaohu, who was rushing to the hurry. Hongzhou felt a fresh and pleasant smell floating by, "It smells so fragrant!"

Xiao Hu was a slave since he was young and lived in Shengjing Palace. He had never seen a man like this. Kuang and an extremely handsome man. His cheeks were hot for a moment and he pretended to be angry. However, Hongzhou stood in the same place and looked at it for a long time before walking towards the imperial garden. "I didn't expect that there was such a heroic girl among the palace maids. She happened to appear at this time. Is it because the exiled immortal came down to the earth to give advice?" At this time, the competition table was already ready in the imperial garden. Concubine Xi and Concubine Geng Jia sat upright on the east side and were competing in their eyes. The Fucha family was also waiting on the left.

Several important officials followed Emperor Yong, and Li Wei stepped forward to pay homage to the heads of the harem. He was still in a state of silence, and was incompatible with the dark blue official robe on his body. "I respectfully invite Concubine Xi and Concubine Geng to be unhappy." Niu Hulu smiled humbly as usual, while Geng Jia forced to smile, his body leaned backward, and he showed a faint disdain.

After Emperor Yong sat down, he immediately announced the start of the competition. Both sides held their fists and saluted and began to paint. Hongzhou was always sensitive to the smell. As soon as he opened the scroll, he could faintly smell a medicinal smell. He gently stroked the rice paper. The texture was crispy, and it was obviously a piece of paper that was dried after wet. He immediately had plans in his heart. He picked up the wolf's hair with one hand and dipped it in the ink, sprinkled it on the scroll at will, and a few traces of displeasure appeared between the lower elbows and arms.

On this side, Hongli was carrying one hand behind her, and his right hand was skillfully wandering on Baixuan, calm and composed. Fu Cha Ronger looked at the good man in his eyes, full of praise, "Looking at Hongli, I think he is fully confident." Fu Heng: "This is not very obvious. If you wrestle with the prince, you will naturally not be as good as Hongli. As for this painting, he is the best. However, today he seems to be a little impetuous, and the outcome of this competition is unpredictable."

"Yes, I didn't notice if you didn't say it. Let's take a gamble. I'll beat Hongli, so you can just be easy-going prince!" Fu Heng frowned: "There is no choice but to leave it to fate."

Soon after, the two princes put down the pen and stamped the seal. Concubine Geng Jia was not worried at all and smiled and said, "Haha, there are many flowers and birds in the garden today. I don't know that Prince Bao's spring sleeping picture is comparable to the blooming flowers in the garden!" Concubine Xi was not willing to be outdone: "This matter is entirely based on the will of heaven. The two children have always been incompatible. Sister and I should not forget to make the will of heaven at this time."

When the palace servants hung up Hongzhou's painting scroll, everyone in the garden was shocked. They enjoyed a reputation in the palace and even outside the court. However, the few strokes of orchids on the scroll today were painted vulgarly, without the character of a gentleman. Emperor Yong asked coldly: "Hongzhou, are you unwilling to go to Mount Wutai for me? Why is the level of painting today so good? Even a ten-year-old schoolchild may beat you!" Hongzhou only whispered: "Report to Emperor Ama, my son is quite unhappy today and cannot paint quietly. My son accepts punishment."

While speaking, there were colorful butterflies around the hanging orchid sketches, and the hummingbirds gradually flew down and fell on the scroll. On the side, Hongli's exquisite begonia spring sleeping picture was surrounded by only a few butterflies. Li Wei: "This is God's will. I admire this for having such skills with the prince just a few strokes."

Emperor Yong suddenly realized that this was different, so he ordered someone to take off the scroll and put it in his hand to look carefully. The color was vaguely different on the white pride before it was filled. When he got closer, he immediately became furious and threw the scroll aside: "I'm so brave, I have used such a despicable plan to fight for my trip. You still take me seriously!"

When the people heard the emperor's anger, they all bowed their heads and knelt down. Emperor Yong wanted to attack Hongzhou. Concubine Geng Jia knelt and stopped him: "Your Majesty, this is all done by me. Brother, he has no idea!" Zhang Tingyu replied at this moment: "Report to the emperor, since ancient times, the concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics. If the harem allows this power to breed, it may endanger the country, the emperor!"

Except for the lookout, the other important officials rushed to agree with the situation. Emperor Yong was heartbroken and said to the imperial concubine in a deep voice, "Yuanqing, you know that I hate the harem playing with power the most, but you are still obsessed with it. Don't blame me for not remembering the love for more than 20 years and passing on my will. Geng Jia Yuanqing, doing political affairs with the previous dynasty. From today on, I will be imprisoned by Zhongcui Palace. Without my will, I will not take a step for my life."

Hongzhou: "Don't rest ashamed, my mother was also confused for a moment. Please give me kindness!" Emperor Yong turned around and sat back on the dragon throne, holding the five-clawed golden dragon on the seat, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were visible: "Do you also want to be your mother?"

Geng Jia Yuanqing hurriedly covered Hongzhou's mouth with one hand and said softly, "If you plead with your emperor again, your mother will commit suicide in front of you." With just one short sentence, neither humble nor arrogant, she made Hongzhou kneel down on the ground, watching the eunuch take his mother away. Concubine Xi held the smile on the corner of her mouth and stood up to help Hongzhou up, "Good child, get up first. When your emperor is angry, you will naturally let your mother go." Emperor Yong: "It really defiled the holy virtue of heaven, and send her back to the mansion with the prince!"

After the matter was slightly calmed down, Emperor Yong issued an order to order Prince Bao Hong to visit Mount Wutai for sacrifices throughout the ages, and all the important officials had no objection. Xiao Hu saw all this at the corner gate of the Imperial Garden and hurried to Chengqian Palace.

Concubine Xi brought Prince Bao and the brothers of the Fucha family to accompany the Shenghua to the garden. Emperor Yong held Concubine Xi's hand, "Do you know what I like you the most?" Concubine Xi said with her head, "I dare not test the holy intentions." Emperor Yong said: "I like your intelligence the most, my duty, since the concubine was favored by the past two years ago, and Geng Jia's ambitions are still the same today. I hope that you will keep this true heart in your heart for a long time. I will compensate you for what you think."

Concubine Xi: "I remember, thank the emperor for his kindness, and the children will watch it." Emperor Yong: "What are you afraid of? One is my son and you, and the other two children will sooner or later be from our Aisin Gioro family. Hongli, do you understand what the emperor means?" "Son minister...Son minister understands."

Fu Heng's escort was behind him and joked with Rong'er, "Sister, the emperor's meaning has already decided on your name. Can your Red Luan Star move?" Fu Cha Rong'er saw the elders in front of him, and on the surface he still maintained a humble smile. "You kid, don't forget that you have a share, maybe one day you will point out a marriage to you. Do you think it's better to have a fifth or seventh princess?"

Fu Heng: "Sister, I used to be with Concubine Xi and in front of us. Today's expressions of different appearances are very interesting!" He was about to signal Hongli to look here, and Rong'er had to grin and smile, "Fu Heng, do you have to rely on you today? Oh, I don't know what Sister Yutang is doing at this moment..."
