Falling flowers are flying and skirts are fluttering.
Sui Tingheng held the pen in his hand, raised his head and his eyes fell on the woman drinking tea with her mother under the flower tree.
A petal fell into the inkstone, and even the ink was dyed with the fragrance of peach blossoms.
The pictures are colorful, but not as bright as the prospects.
He lowered his head and gently traced those bright pearl eyes. She liked to laugh, and even her eyes were a bit brighter than others.
"Your Highness." Fuyi came to the table with his skirt in hand and curiously asked, "Have you finished the painting?"
Hearing her voice, he stopped writing: "You still need to fill it in slowly. Color."
"Your Highness is really a master of painting. He painted the court lady so beautifully." Fu Yi looked at herself in the painting and was lost for a moment. Is she so beautiful?
"I'm not good at painting. I can draw shapes but not spirits." Sui Tingheng put down his brush and said, "This painting is not even three points as good as the girl's."
Fuyi thought the prince was just being modest. , looking carefully at his face, I found that he actually thought this painting was not good enough.
In all her life, she has never seen anyone who has such high demands on herself.
"Although I don't know how to paint, your highness's painting skills are already outstanding." He lowered his head and blew away the petals that fell on the painting, and sighed: "I have long heard that your highness is knowledgeable and talented. Today, After seeing His Highness's paintings, I understand what it means to be banished to the mortal world, and how talented you are."
"As long as Miss Yun doesn't mind my crude paintings." Sui Tingheng stepped aside so that he could admire the paintings: "Today is the sixth day of March, and three days later it will be Miss Yun's eighteenth birthday. ?”
Fuyi then remembered that his birthday was coming soon.
No wonder her mother has been making new clothes and new jewelry for her recently. She thought it was her recent kindness that impressed her mother, but it turned out that her birthday was coming soon.
"Fuyi is already eighteen years old?" The queen walked up to the two of them holding a few flowers in her hand, "Time flies so fast, you become a big girl in the blink of an eye."
The queen was too kind. The words made Fuyi once again wonder if he had broken his brain and lost a piece of memory. Otherwise, why would the emperor and the queen look so familiar to her when she was a child?
When she was a child, she was naughty and playful, and did not like to study. She played hooky with Lin Xiaowu and the others all day long, and never had any contact with Prince Li's Mansion.
Could it be that father has been in contact with the emperor privately for a long time?
Seeing Fu Yi blinking and looking at her, the queen touched her bun and said in a friendly tone: "Do you prefer to stay with people with outstanding talents, or appreciate people with superior martial arts?"
"My friend Cao Sanlang is outstanding in martial arts. My brother has studied hard since he was a child and has some knowledge in his belly." After thinking carefully, my daughter said: "My daughter admires both of these people."
Seeing Fuyi Not understanding the meaning of her words, the queen shook her head and chuckled, seemingly completely unaware.
"Mother." Sui Tingheng asked: "Did you pick these flowers for your father?"
The emperor is a rough man, but the queen likes to grow flowers and grass. Flowers and plants appeared in the room, which must have been arranged by the queen.
"Your father is busy with government affairs and has no time to enjoy the flowers. If you don't let him take a look, wouldn't you be letting down the peach blossoms in the garden?" The queen put the peach blossoms into the vase and ordered the chambermaid. Send the vase to the emperor.
Royal study room.
The emperor looked at Prince Ning who was kneeling in front of the royal cabinet. He had not seen him for over ten days. Prince Ning had lost weight and was wearing a light blue spring robe. He looked both downcast and obedient.
“What are you doing?” The emperor walked up to King Ning and stretched out his hand to help him up: “How can we, brothers, be so estranged to each other?” "Strictly speaking, my wife just married into the palace and didn't manage the back house well, so those traitors were allowed to sneak into the palace, which almost caused disaster." Prince Ning's eyes were slightly red, and his face was full of disaster. They are all regretful: "My brother, I have let you down, my dear brother."
"The Lu family comes from a prominent family in Lingbei. She was the princess personally chosen by your father and Imperial Concubine Zeng for you. She must be a rare and virtuous woman." The emperor patted his shoulder lovingly: "She must be very scared if something like this happens. Please stay with her more during this time."
"My dear brother, I would like to follow the teachings of my royal brother." King Ning's face turned pale, and the emperor patted his wound.
"My brother has only been on the throne for two years, and the ministers in the DPRK have been dissatisfied with you recently. You must be careful in your words and deeds in the future, and don't cause trouble again." The emperor's eyes were full of sorrow: "Next time something like this happens again I'm afraid that I won't be able to silence everyone, so I can only bear the pain and punish you severely."
"Yes, brother, I have recorded it." Prince Ning knelt down again and stood in front of him. The emperor did not stop him.
"Ruijing," the emperor looked down at the young man kneeling in front of him: "I remember that you don't like to wear such dull colors. Although your father is gone, you still have your brother here, so don't feel wronged. "Myself."
"Yes." Prince Ning looked at his clothes and responded obediently.
"Get up and say something back. What does it look like for brothers to kneel back and forth?" The emperor grabbed Prince Ning, turned around and saw the chamberlain of Zhaoyang Palace standing outside, and asked aloud: "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, I saw that the flowers in the peach forest are blooming just right, and I want you to see them too."
"Bring them in." The smile on the emperor's face became more real: "Your sister-in-law loves it. Send some flowers Damn it, it’s rare for you to come to the palace today and enjoy the flowers.”
“Oh, by the way.” The emperor took out two poetry books from the imperial desk and put them in Prince Ning’s hand: “I heard that you have been here lately. I like poetry, so take these two collections of poems back and read them.”
“Thank you for the gift, I will read it carefully.” Prince Ning bowed and stood, letting the emperor pat his injured shoulder lovingly.
After walking out of the imperial study, Prince Ning put his hand on his shoulder, which was already numb from pain, and handed the collection of poems to the palace servant who was waiting outside: "Just because he heard that I love poetry, the emperor found a collection of poems for me. The emperor treats me with such care, But I can't even manage a house well, and I have caused so much trouble for him. I really don't deserve the high expectations I have for my brother."
"My lord, don't be too sad, your injuries are still there. It's okay." The chamberlain supported Prince Ning and said, "When the princess becomes familiar with the affairs of the inner chamber, there will be no more troubles like this." "This matter is because of the laxity of the king. It has nothing to do with the princess, don't talk nonsense! King Ning sternly interrupted the chamberlain and scolded him with a stern face: "Go back and receive the punishment yourself!"
After saying that, he ignored the chamberlain who knelt down to beg for mercy and turned around to leave.
When passing by Chenque Palace, the outer fence has been removed and the whole palace has been greatly changed. There are green bamboos and lotus ponds behind the palace.
Seeing the plaque hanging above, Prince Ning turned around and left expressionlessly.
He forgot that this palace is no longer called Chenque Palace, but Chenxi Palace.
Xi, the seal of the emperor.
Even though he could not change his father's will for three years, his good brother still spared no effort to show his trust and love for his only son to the world.
Remembering that the queen was in the peach blossom forest, he could only endure the pain in the wound and turned around and walked towards the peach blossom forest.
"Your Highness, is this how peach blossoms are drawn?" Fuyi rolled up his sleeves and drew a simple peach blossom on the paper.
"Although it is a bit raw, it is quite charming and cute of peach blossoms." Sui Tingheng used a pen to add stamens to the peach blossoms, adding a bit of charm to the peach blossoms that originally looked very sloppy.
"Your Highness has wonderful hands." Fuyi stared at Sui Tingheng's hands with envy. We all have hands. Why is there such a big difference?
“It’s just that I have studied for a few more years than Miss Yun.” With a few strokes, Sui Tingheng painted another peach blossom and accompanied it next to it. “If you had been painting since elementary school, you might be better than me. The painting is even better.”
A talented person can speak so nicely even if he has a noble status.
Fuyi looked at the two peach blossoms squeezed together, put down his pen and said: "With such a beautiful scenery, I really should have a few drinks to live up to the spring scenery of this garden."
"Miss Yun dug it out two days ago. The wine hasn't been finished yet." Sui Tingheng put down the pen and put away the drawing paper: "Should I ask someone to bring the wine?"
"Okay." Fu Yi looked around. " Where is the Queen? "
"Just now when you went to pick flowers, Princess Kangyang came into the palace to ask for an audience, and the queen returned to Zhaoyang Palace." Sui Tingheng took Fu Yi to sit at the carved white marble table under the peach tree. Next: "Before your mother leaves, please ask me to take you to Zhaoyang Palace for dinner at noon."
"Thank you, Queen." Fuyi arched his hands in the direction of Zhaoyang Palace.
"The Queen likes you very much." Sui Tingheng reached out and brushed away the petals on the table: "If it weren't for the Flower Festival..."
"Your Highness." Fuyi interrupted with a smile: "I will share your worries with you. , is the duty of being a minister.”
After spending time with Sui Tingheng several times, Fuyi got to know this immortal-like His Highness better, and at least no longer regarded him as perfect and emotionless. The jade carving said: "Your Highness would like to express his gratitude again, then It’s my daughter’s fault.”
“My father was demoted to Chongzhou, and your Majesty brought him back to the capital for re-employment. This is a blessing to my family.” Fu Yi looked at Sui Ting seriously. Heng: "Have a chance to meet It's hard for a wise king to repay you, so I can only swear to be loyal to you."
The wind made the branches rustle, and Sui Tingheng looked at the hair tie flying in the air on his temples: "I understand. ”
"Your Highness, the wind is strong. You have an injury on your shoulder. Please go see the Queen next time." Cen Chu saw that King Ning's face was getting paler and paler, and reached out to help him.
"I'm fine." King Ning stopped in confusion when he saw a group of servants carrying various food boxes to the peach garden. The two leaders were still holding wine jars.
The royal sister-in-law never drinks alcohol, so why does she ask the palace attendant to prepare wine?
"Your Majesty," Cen Chu couldn't help but said after seeing the patterns on the wine jars clearly: "Those two wine jars...it seems that five years ago, the wine was specially brewed to celebrate the late Emperor's longevity."
Five years ago it was the late emperor's 60th birthday, so the utensils and other objects used in the palace that year were all printed with the word longevity and blessing.
When the queen entertains others, why does she use wine from five years ago?
Wang Ning walked into the peach grove stepping on the fallen flowers and heard a familiar voice.
"The fairy is drinking under the peach blossom tree. It's a pity that Fuyi doesn't know how to compose poetry, otherwise I really would have composed a poem for His Highness."
He looked at the two people under the peach blossom tree, one of them was drinking. The red robe is woven with gold, and the features are picturesque.
One person is wearing a goose-yellow palace skirt and looks as beautiful as a flower.
"The wine that has been buried for five years seems to be stronger when you drink it."
King Ning suddenly remembered that he and Yun Fuyi had buried two jars of wine here, and they made an appointment when she was eighteen years old. Dig them out again.
With the peach blossoms blooming, Sui Tingheng drank the wine in the glass, turned around and saw Prince Ning in the distance.
He calmly withdrew his gaze, filled the cup with wine, and gently clinked the glasses with Fu Yi. When he raised his hand, the red sleeves overlapped with the sleeves of Fu Yi. The red was bright and the yellow was warm.
“Although it is strong, it is very delicious. I like it very much.”
