Portrait of the Empress Jing
Qiqi had no idea what she could say, how could she be so delicate?
It was just because I knew Duanmu Qingqing had been watching Dandan behind her, and although she was not resentful, the envious and sad look was also uncomfortable.
She doesn't want to be faced with her all the time, it's just a misunderstanding.
But now, I am afraid that after this "hugging", I will never misunderstand it.
This villa is full of shadow guards. What the senior brother has done to her now will spread throughout the villa in a short while. Soon, everyone knows that the owner of the manor came back and brought back a little lover...
Rubbing her sore eyebrows, she pursed her thin lips and stopped talking.
This misunderstanding is a bit big.
When Chu Jiangnan returned to Wuxia Pavilion, Duanmuqiong immediately took two servants to the next room to clean up. In fact, there was nothing to clean up. However, the guests came. Even in this situation, it was very likely that they would be their future owner's wife, and Duanmuqiong did not dare to be careless at all.
Chu Jiangnan directly carried Qiqi back to his dormitory and asked her to sit on a soft chair.
"Are you tired?" he asked.
Qiqi just wanted to roll her eyes, but she still held it back.
She shook her head, looked up at him, muttered red lips and said unhappy: "Senior brother did it on purpose."
A martial arts practitioner just pulls her, how could he really lose his control?
He pulled her over hard, but he was afraid that he would even expect Duanmu Qingqing to knock out now?
He doesn't like Duanmu Qingqing.
Chu Jiangnan's eyes were soft, but he just walked aside and sat down without saying a word.
"Even if you don't like others, don't use me as a show. I don't want to offend women." Does he know the most toxic woman's heart? A woman blinded by jealousy is very scary. What if Mu Qingqing wants her to take revenge?
It is easy to hide from open guns, but it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows. If it is not necessary, she does not want to add any more hatred to herself.
Although, thinking so seems to make people think too badly.
"When did I take you to act?" He deliberately pulled her over, because Duanmu Qingqing was walking by his side, and he was a little resistant to the smell of powder, and it was so uncomfortable to smell it.
However, where does the term "acting" come from?
Qiqi just tilted her lips and didn't speak.
Well, my senior brother really felt sorry for her just now and was afraid that she would be tired. He was not a man with a black heart, and he would not have so many colorful things. He was the one who was too careful.
But... "Does senior brother really like that Duanmu girl? I think she is pretty, and she is gentle and gentle. You can tell at a glance that she is a gentle woman. Why doesn't her senior brother like it?"
I don’t know how many men’s eyes will be attracted when she walks on the street. Even though she was resentful just now, she didn’t really look at her with resentment. She was just sad alone. There were really not many such docile girls these days.
"Senior brother?"
"It's not that I like it or not, I just never thought about walking with the girl." He didn't need to tell lies in front of her. It was because of this that he subconsciously stayed away from all women.
Qiqi didn't understand it at first, but after looking up at his gaze and glimpsing the dimness in his eyes, she remembered what he had said.
My life is not long, so why bother a good girl?
Senior brother... Actually, I must have lived a hard life over the years, right?
"Where will we go for meals later?" she suddenly said.
Chu Jiangnan raised his handsome thick eyebrows, but still couldn't keep up with her jumping thinking. He said for a moment: "I'll go to the main hall later. I'll come back the first day today and have a dinner with the Duanmu Butler's family."
Seeing that she didn't speak, he said, "If you don't like it, we can also go directly to Wuxia Pavilion..."
"I like it, why don't you?" Hearing this, Qiqi immediately smiled and said with a smile: "I also want to try the skills of the villa chefs as soon as possible. When will the meal start?"
"Wait for a moment, Duanmuqiong will come to invite us." He couldn't see through the expression in her eyes, so he gave up and wanted to pick up the tea that the servant had just poured on. He just touched the cup of rice ball and said it back.
Qiqi smiled and said, "I'll get you some flower tea, which is better than drinking tea. Your illness will not be cured for a while. Tu really needs to quit."
Chu Jiangnan didn't say anything, nor did he refute her words, "It won't be good for a moment."
These people seemed sure that he would receive their treatment and made preparations silently. Even Qiqi went to that different time and space and told her another senior brother that he wanted a set of "chairs", and that "chairs" were probably also prepared to treat him.
He thought, even if he was unhappy at that time, would they find a way to knock him out and throw him onto her hospital bed?
At least, the fourth prince will be the first to attack him...
It’s not that I really don’t want to live, but I’m just afraid that I can’t open my eyes again after lying down.
He would rather look at this world more and do more than die under Qiqi's knife.
If she died under her knife, she would not be able to survive. The royal family would not let her go. Do this girl understand?
He didn't say anything, Qiqi stood up and walked around his dormitory to observe the layout in the room.
There are several scrolls hanging on the wall. Although they look like they are randomly painted, the majestic atmosphere in them is easily visible.
"The person who paints these paintings must be a passionate person." She walked over, her long fingers fell on one of the paintings, and her fingertips gently depicted them with the lines in the painting.
"You may have read it wrong this time." Chu Jiangnan stood up, walked behind her, and admired the scroll with her. "The person who painted these paintings happened to be a ruthless person."
"It's just that people look ruthless." She didn't ask who the paintings were from, but after seeing the poem below the scroll, she had already guessed it.
She only knew that his brushwork was so beautiful, but she didn't know that his paintings were so exquisite and outstanding. This senior brother... had too many surprises waiting for her to discover. It would be a pity if such a perfect man really died young.
I looked at the wall one by one, and my eyes suddenly fell on one of them.
This painting is different from other scrolls. The other paintings are all landscape paintings, but the one in front of you is a figure painting, which is a young and beautiful girl.
Although it is a black and white brush and ink painting, the lines with a bit of heroic spirit hidden on his face are lifelike, and her eyes, the silence-like look, are so emotional in his pen.
What a beautiful, so elegant beauty, but these are not the ones that surprised her the most. What shocked her was that the woman's facial features were so familiar, where did she see them?
Seeing that her eyes were clear and she was thinking about something, Chu Jiangnan's eyes were filled with a faint joy, and a stunning smile appeared on the corners of her lips: "Guess, who is the person in this painting?"
Qiqi couldn't help but look up at the scroll again. The more she looked, the more she felt that the woman's facial features looked familiar, but she was sure that she had clearly never seen her.
She looks so familiar, unless she looks extremely similar to the person she knows... Could it be...
She turned around and looked at him suddenly, exclaiming: "Is she the Empress Jing of that year?"
She is... Chu Xuanchi's mother?
But why is her picture here? What does the world's number one farmer have to do with Chu Xuanchi?
She didn't notice that her little hands hidden in her sleeves were constantly holding tightly. Looking at the woman in the painting and thinking about her beautiful charm back then, her heart was immediately tightened.
Perhaps, only such a beautiful woman can give birth to such a stunning man as Prince Xuan.
She always thought that Chu Xuanchi was so outstanding because he was born in the imperial family and the excellent genes of the royal family. But now it seems that he is more like his mother than his father.
When she saw the portrait of Queen Jing for the first time, she felt an indescribable excitement, just as if she was standing in front of her, facing the scroll, she suddenly became serious.
Chu Jiangnan's big palm fell on top of her head, gently rubbed her hair, and said warmly: "It is indeed Empress Jing, the mother of the Fourth Emperor Brother."
"Then she..." She once heard that Empress Jing died of illness back then, but she once guessed in Chu Xuanchi's nonsense that the mind was blinded by cold poison. The things that happened back then would never be as simple as being spread to the outside world.
Chu Xuanchi has always been resentful of his mother's death. Empress Jing's death must have been affected by some royal conspiracy.
I just felt sorry for him that he had to bear the terrible pressure at the age of a young age. How did he survive over the years?
"You should ask the Fourth Emperor Brother directly about Empress Jing." If he was willing to say it, he added in his heart.
Seeing the loss flashing in her eyes, he said softly: "The father has always been resentful about Empress Jing's death. He said that he had something else in his heart or nostalgia. Since Empress Jing died of illness, no one in the palace dared to mention Empress Jing's affairs. Even everything that Empress Jing used during her lifetime and all the portraits were destroyed by the father's order. This painting..."
He looked up and his eyes fell on the woman in the painting with Qiqi. He didn't know what was flowing in his eyes: "This was what I drew based on my memory. Because I couldn't bring it back to the palace, I could only put it here and pay tribute to me occasionally."
"You...the relationship between you and Empress Jing..." In fact, Qiqi could hear the loophole in his words, but he had just said that if she wanted to know everything about Empress Jing, she would ask Chu Xuanchi directly.
She knew that no matter how she asked, he would never say it, and Chu Xuanchi...
His mother was his biggest taboo, and he would never say anything about her to her.
"Empress Jing and my mother were friends who could talk to each other during his lifetime. I have had a good relationship with the Fourth Emperor brother since childhood because of this. Empress Jing treats me very well. I respect her as much as my mother."
The eyes slowly swept across the lines of the woman's face in the painting, with a little longing and a little indescribable sadness.
Qiqi can see it, but can't see it thoroughly.
