So His Highness wants to hear something about this painting?
The Crown Princess understood, and after thinking for a while, she said: "I remember that it was the late Crown Prince's sixteenth birthday. I was only seven years old that year, and I went to the East Palace with my cousins to pay tribute to the late Prince.
The prince celebrates his birthday."
Ji Yannuo's expression condensed and he seemed to be listening very seriously.
The Crown Princess continued: "The birthday banquet was very grand, not only the princes, but also the royal family members, and the princes and noble daughters of all the houses came.
Because there were no elders present, the princes made a lot of noise again, and soon drinks were served, and everyone was drinking and having fun, and the scene was very lively."
"After three rounds of drinking, I remember that the prince was a little drunk." The prince was only seven years old at the time, so her brothers and sisters naturally would not let her drink. What she drank was fruit pulp, so she was very sober. "Princes,
He coaxed the late prince to paint."
"The first prince originally refused, but the princes made a big fuss, so in the end he reluctantly had the easel set up and the painting painted."
Speaking of which, the painting by the late Prince Edward was not very good. I can only say that the painter was very average.
But the Crown Princess was young at that time and could not tell the quality of the painting. Because she wholeheartedly admired the former Crown Prince, she pestered him to get the painting.
After she finished the painting, the princes and royal family members told Ji Yannuo with half-smiling mocking looks.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid they were all secretly mocking the former prince for his poor painting skills, right?
But Ji Yannuo asked her: "After the emperor painted this painting, what did everyone think?"
The Crown Princess's face was slightly stiff, fearing that Ji Yannuo would feel sad, so she said: "Time has passed so long, I don't remember clearly. I only vaguely remember that many people praised the late Prince for his good paintings. Concubine
I was confused, so I stepped forward and asked for the painting.
The late prince has a gentle and kind temperament, so he agreed immediately."
Ji Yannuo was silent for a long time.
He glanced at the Crown Princess briefly, nodded and said, "You are really interested. Leave the painting behind and go back first."
Ji Yannuo opened his mouth to see the guests off, but the Crown Princess did not dare to stay any longer. She only bowed respectfully and bowed before leaving the bamboo house.
On the way back to Lanxi Palace, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
It seems that the worries last night were unnecessary.
Why should she lower herself to compare with Ye Fuxun?
His Highness's treatment of her and Ye Fuxun were completely different.
Seeing that the Crown Princess was happy, Bi Liu and Bicui hurriedly said good things to make her happy: "My Lady, the piece you played today is simply like fairy music. Your Highness is so enchanted when you look at me."
Bi Liu covered her mouth and smiled and said: "More than that, when the empress told His Highness about the former Prince, His Highness listened to you attentively, with a gentle look on his face."
"Seriously?" The Crown Princess glanced at Biliu and Bicui with a smile, "I am in a good mood today, so I will give you a hairpin each. Go and pick the one you like."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bi Liu and Bicui looked at each other with infinite joy.
In that bamboo house, there were waves of coldness seeping out of the iceberg and snow, causing the air to condense into frost.
Ji Yannuo stared at the scroll, his eyes seeming to burn two holes in the painting.
Xu An stood aside uneasily, not daring to say a word.
After a long while, Ji Yannuo suddenly spoke: "Xu An, go and ask Ye Fuxun to come over."
Xu An was startled and quickly responded respectfully: "Yes, Your Highness. I will take care of it now."
Hurrying to Yunjin Pavilion, Xu An saw Ye Fuxun and said with a smile: "Ye Fuxun, His Highness has summoned you to the bamboo house."
Recalling the cruel scene of punishing Peng Zhaoxun and Liu Fengyi outside the bamboo house just now, I wanted her to die!
She was determined not to join in the fun and pretended to have a headache to fool him.
Xiao Yu was alert and hurriedly stepped forward to support Ye Fuxun, asking for help.
Xu An had a wry smile on his face.
He understood Ye Fuxun's desire not to get into trouble, but His Highness had already spoken, so how could he let her go?
"Ye Fuxun, please don't embarrass me. His Highness calls you over. Even if you faint, I will have to find someone to carry you over before you can be revived."
Ye Fuxun instantly opened his closed eyes, and read the serious look in Xu An's eyes, with a bitter look on his face: "Do you really have to go?"
Xu An nodded sincerely: "Ye Fuxun, you really have to go."
Ye Fuxun let go of Xiao Yu's hand and stood up straight, patted the dust on his sleeves, and said with the determination of a strong man breaking his wrist: "Then let's go, please Eunuch Xu to lead the way."
It’s another day of racking your brains to survive under the hands of the great demon Ji Yannuo.
Here she comes.
After walking tenaciously all the way, and finally arriving in front of the bamboo house, Ye Fuxun thought of Peng Zhaoxun being taken away and given dumb medicine, while Liu Fengyi had her hamstring broken while she was still alive, and her feet were inexplicably nailed to the ground, making it impossible to walk.
Moved.
"Eunuch Xu, please tell me the truth," she looked at Xu An, "Your Highness is in a very bad mood?"
Xu An looked at Ye Fulun, empathizing with the desire for survival in her eyes, and nodded silently.
Ye Fuxun wrinkled his face and blinked: "Can you please give me a clear path? As soon as I enter, won't I have to be punished in public again?"
Xu An hurriedly waved his hand: "Ye Fuxun, you are worrying too much. You will never do that. I can guarantee it."
Peng Zhaoxun and Liu Fengyi went to the knife's edge on their own, but Ye Fuxun was different. His Highness personally asked him to invite her here.
Ye Fuxun was dubious and made a gesture on his neck with his hand: "Are you really not going to... click me off?"
"No, no!" Xu An said with a bitter face, "Ye Fuxun, why don't you hurry in?"
After waiting for so long, His Highness's patience may have been worn out.
If His Highness loses his patience, everything will be difficult to say!
Ye Fuxun was dejected and followed Xu An into the bamboo house step by step.
There was silence in the bamboo house.
It was so quiet that only the long breathing could be heard faintly.
Huh?
Ye Fuxun looked around from behind Xu An in confusion.
They saw Ji Yannuo lying on the couch, his eyes closed...
Asleep?
She was so happy that she reached out and tugged at Xu An's sleeves, mouthing: "Your Highness is asleep, how about I come back another day?" It's best not to come again.
Xu An hurriedly grabbed Ye Fuxun who was about to leave: "Ye Fuxun, even if His Highness is asleep, you can't leave!"
If His Highness wakes up and doesn't see Ye Fuxun, will he still need the head on his neck?
"You just wait in this bamboo house. His Highness will naturally have something to say to you when he wakes up."
Firmly pressing Ye Fuxun to the ground, Xu An walked out in small steps, turned around and closed the door tightly.
drink!
Is this because she's afraid that she won't be able to escape?
Ye Fuxun glanced at the closed bamboo door and wrinkled his nose.
Ji Yannuo seemed to be still sleeping on the couch.
Was he really asleep, or was he pretending to be asleep to scare her?
Ye Fuxun walked curiously to the couch, knelt down slowly and looked at Ji Yannuo without blinking.
