Chapter 81 Chen Xu’s temptation
After all, it was Emperor Chen who issued the eviction order, so even if some people were reluctant, they had to leave.
Yu Wenhui, Yu Wenzhi and other four Zhou envoys quickly left the East Palace. After getting on the carriage, Yu Wenhui couldn't help but complain.
"The emperor of the Chen Kingdom is indeed different from before. He came to the East Palace this time to use that little lady to beat us. There is a hidden meaning in his words!"
"After all, he is the king of a country. How can he still be the same as the previous proton? However, this Emperor Chen is very hidden. My father may have guessed wrong. The new emperor of Chen State is not a cowardly and incompetent emperor, but a man who cannot hide himself. "The old fox."
Prince Yu Wenxun said in a deep voice, with some worry in his tone.
Yu Wenzhi disagreed and smiled with disdain.
"I don't care what the emperor of Chen is like. However, Chen Shuling deliberately dropped a portrait, which led us to see that the young lady we saw is really extraordinary. Although I don't know her true appearance, I think her skin is very good. Xue, with her graceful figure and elegant demeanor in her bones, must be a lovely person."
Speaking of beauties, Yu Wenhui's interest suddenly increased.
"Do you also think that this young lady is hiding her appearance intentionally? Is it possible that she is really as beautiful as the portrait of Chen Shuling?"
"Whether there is, I'll find out later when I have the opportunity!"
Having said this, Yu Wenzhi sighed again, "I'm afraid that guy Gao Changgong has already arrived first. Today's East Palace banquet, I think he seems to be very nervous about this little lady, and this little lady is said to be in the land of Northern Qi with her mother. After living together for fifteen years, could it be that I was with Gao Changgong as early as the Northern Qi Dynasty..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted and Yuwenhui sneered.
"You are wrong about this. I observed carefully today that the young lady is clearly still a virgin..."
At this point, Lonely Shan, who had been standing quietly by the side, couldn't listen anymore, so he interrupted: "Everyone, what is the purpose of our coming to Chen country? She is just a little lady who is good at painting, and she is not someone else's concubine. Why? Can you insult it at will?"
Yuwenhui couldn't help but smile and looked at Dugushan in surprise.
"You boring gourd, I thought you couldn't speak. Why, you feel sorry for that little lady, but did you miss something? She is not only good at painting, but also has medical skills. She is a person who can paralyze people. The miracle doctor who was destined not to live past the age of twenty-five for more than ten years stood up!"
There is indeed nothing great about being good at painting. It is just a name for a talented woman. But if you are a miracle doctor who can extend people's lifespan and bring people back to life, then it will be different.
Dugu Shan was not thinking about this, but asked with some confusion: "She said that her paintings can enter people's hearts, understand human nature, and judge character. Have you ever thought about what she means?"
…
"You said that your paintings can touch people's hearts, understand human nature, and judge character. What do you mean?" In an empty hall in the East Palace, Chen Xu also looked at Xiao Jinyu and asked.
Xiao Jinyu looked at Chen Xu coldly, and suddenly curved her lips and smiled.
"If your Majesty can look carefully at the painting I painted, you will understand the meaning!" she said.
It’s not that Chen Xu couldn’t understand it, but he saw the way Zhou Envoy looked at Qi Envoy in the painting, and the way Chen Shuling looked at Chen Shubao. The artistic conception painted with Spring and Autumn brushwork was so thought-provoking that it made people think more about it. .
However, he still didn't believe it and asked: "You just met Zhou Envoy once today, do you really know their temperament well?"
Xiao Jinyu smiled again.
"Your Majesty, all appearances are false. Whether my paintings can recognize human nature is not important. What is important is what your Majesty sees and thinks. If your Majesty believes it, it exists. If you don't believe it, then leave it to God. In the future, You’ll see for yourself, won’t you?”
Chen Xu was suddenly startled, and realized that there was a hint of ridicule in the girl's smile.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go back!"
Xiao Jinyu raised her hand and saluted, then turned around and walked out of the hall without looking back.
After walking about five or six steps, a voice suddenly came from behind:
"Thank you, Yu, Qing!"
Xiao Jinyu did not stop or look back. The voice seemed to sigh in disappointment, and shouted again: "Xiao Jinyu!"
Xiao Jinyu stopped for a moment and asked:
"Why did your Majesty call me?"
After another period of silence, a voice came from behind:
“You look a lot like an old friend of mine!”
After that, he sighed heavily and said earnestly: "It's so similar that I had the illusion that she had returned to the human world. Do you think people really have an afterlife? "
Xiao Jinyu didn't answer.
He continued minding his own business, "Sometimes I regret it when I think about it, but at the beginning I really had no choice. If she had not died in my hands, maybe the ending would have been more terrifying than death. She was The noble daughter of the Xie family has her pride and self-esteem. I know that she will definitely not want to bear the humiliation of her enemies, so I will fulfill her pride and let her die pure and innocent, without even any pain..."
"After that, I avenged her. I think she must be happy under Jiuquan. After all, I did it. I achieved what she wanted to see: the people's peace and happiness, and the mountains and rivers forever!"
"This is her ideal, and it is also my ideal. Do you think she will be happy when she sees the Chen State today, where the people are getting richer and the country is getting stronger?"
Having said this, he seemed to be waiting for an answer from Xiao Jinyu.
However, after a long time, Xiao Jinyu replied: "The daughter of the people doesn't understand what your majesty is talking about, so why should you tell me, but if your majesty has finished speaking, the daughter of the people will leave!"
This time Chen Xu did not stop her, Xiao Jinyu went straight to the main hall, passed through the back garden, and walked out of the East Palace.
Xiao Xian and Fenghuang had been waiting outside for a long time. When they saw Xiao Jinyu walking out of the East Palace under the guidance of the chamberlain, they immediately greeted her.
"How is it? Your Majesty, he..."
Seeing Xiao Xian's sad eyes and sullen eyes, Xiao Jinyu smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Your Majesty just asked me how my paintings can penetrate people's hearts, understand human nature, and judge character?"
"Then how do you answer?"
Or how did you do it? How can we capture in the painting all the thoughts and ideas of the guests in the East Palace in just one cup of tea?
What a vivid painting! It's as subtle as everyone's movements, expressions and eyes, as subtle as the unpredictable and deep smile on the corner of the emperor's lips, even the ruthless jealousy in King Shixing's eyes, and the treacherous look in Yu Wen's straight eyes.
"It seems that Uncle Xian took a serious look at my painting." Xiao Jinyu said with a smile, "Uncle Xian, do you still remember that I said that I can read faces, look at people's eyes, analyze current situations, and it is not difficult to draw conclusions, but the key is that there are people letter!"
She believed that Chen Xu was not a person who believed in destiny, so even if it planted a seed of doubt in his heart, that would be enough.
"Ayu, you are really different from ordinary people. Even Uncle Xian opened my eyes today!"
Xiao Xian couldn't help but sigh, Xiao Jinyu smiled, and the three of them boarded the carriage and drove towards Jianxi Hutong.
Wu's servant hurried back to the main hall, but when he saw Chen Xu still standing in the hall suspiciously, he bowed and rushed over and asked:
"Your Majesty, the young lady has left. Are you going back to the palace now?"
Chen Xu suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"I'm really confused. I still believe in reincarnation in Buddhism. If a person dies, he will never come back!"
After sighing, he took out the picture of the East Palace Night Banquet and looked at it carefully. As he looked at it, his face suddenly changed, and he suddenly ordered in a deep voice, "Find someone to check and see what King Shixing has been recently. What are you doing?"
"yes!"
"In addition, pass my message to Mao Xi and ask him to send someone to pay close attention to every move of the Zhou envoy!"
"yes!"
