The Neon Tower

Today is the day to enter the palace, so Yuhan prepared all the painting tools, pens and ink, took the token, and headed to the palace.

The Empress Dowager's birthday is ten days later, the Holy Majesty ordered Yuhan to draw a scroll that would make the Empress Dowager smile.The empress dowager entered the palace at the age of 15, and was promoted to concubine on the day she entered the palace because of her noble status and young beauty. For the lord of the harem.Strange that she never smiled again?At that time, the Empress Dowager said to the Empress Dowager that the Empress Dowager was originally a reserved and pessimistic person, so it was no surprise that she didn't smile much.The Taishanghuang passed away shortly after he ascended the throne. Years of accumulated fatigue and chronic diseases that could not be cured for a long time prevented him from enjoying a long life.Since then the Queen Mother has become more gloomy, doesn't talk much, and doesn't move around.My favorite thing is to read some storybooks circulating in the market, such as the rich lady elopes with the oil seller, and the princess falls in love with the bearer. There is no good ending like this in the frontier.And most of these books were secretly brought in by Yuhan for the Queen Mother.Although the Queen Mother was serious, she really cared for Yu Han. Every time before leaving, she would prepare two big boxes of snacks for him to take home and eat slowly.In Yu Han's heart, the Queen Mother was not as unkind and serious as it was rumored outside.She doesn't like to laugh, she doesn't need to put a smile on her face in order to show that she is kind and kind, maybe she is really tired, and she turned back to the real her when she gained the highest position.

If the Empress Dowager really had such a temperament, it would not be difficult to please her, but she should show her joy. . .Only with one scroll. . .Easier said than done?For this reason, he even went to ask Zhen Rong, who had a lot of bad ideas, for advice.But Zhen Rong said a few words back and forth, meaning that he was not close to the Queen Mother since he was a child, and he really couldn't think of a way to make her laugh.Asked in vain, I still want to go.

"Yuhan? You're here." Yuhan was thinking about how to please the Queen Mother, but without looking around, she was really brought back to her thoughts by the clear voice.Looking up, he yelled in his heart that it was not good, so he quickly knelt down.

"My minister salutes His Royal Highness, the prince is a thousand years old."

"Get up, this... I'm scaring you again." The prince carefully helped Yu Han up.

"This humble official deserves to die. Walking around in the forbidden palace, he dared to think wildly, neglected left and right, and failed to salute His Highness in time."

"Didn't Bengong tell you that you can be exempted from all etiquette in front of Bengong? If you do this again, Bengong will be angry."

"Who is going to be angry?" An elegant and calm voice sounded in the distance.He walked slowly, still handsome and gentle.

"Uncle..." Seeing him, the prince hurriedly withdrew his misty and affectionate eyes, and saluted his uncle.

"Slave greets His Royal Highness Duan Wang." The eunuchs who followed the prince also saluted.

"Father?" Yuhan asked curiously, "Why did you enter the palace today?"

Duan Wang walked up to Yu Han, and slapped him on the back of the head: "You son of a bitch, ha! Have you become more virtuous? You don't have to visit your father since you have your own mansion?" Then he picked up Yu Han's ear again: "Say, how long has it been since you came home?"

"Oh...Dad...It hurts...It hurts."

Like this, Yuhan was dragged away by his father for a long time, and he was relieved only in a secluded place.

"Father... can you change the way? I am a dignified seven-foot man. It is embarrassing to be dragged away by you like this. After all, I am the royal painter of the court, the emperor's imperial brush, and was once the accompanying student of His Royal Highness. You... . " When he wanted to continue talking, he saw Duan Wang's serious eyes, and immediately stopped speaking.

"How many times have I told my father that you are no longer the prince's accompanying student, remember to hide when you meet the prince in and out of the palace."

"You think about it again, isn't His Royal Highness very normal?"

"Didn't you see the way he looked at you, as if he wanted to eat you clean?"

"This is the Forbidden Palace, be careful that the walls have ears." Yu Han leaned closer to King Duan's ear, "You told me before, but I don't believe that His Royal Highness is a broken sleeve. It's so hard to find a broken sleeve... With that said, Yuhan thought of the Neon Building that he went to a few days ago. . .No. . .In fact, broken sleeves are not difficult to find.

"In short, don't get too close to the prince."

"Baby, obey." Yu Han never dared to disobey King Duan's intentions, but he obeyed after a little rebuttal during the period.

"Uncle Duanhuang really can disrupt the situation..." In the imperial garden, the prince muttered while drinking tea under the gazebo.

The little eunuch next to him seemed to read the prince's thoughts: "Why don't you invite Mr. Fan over here to have a little gathering with His Highness?"

"Don't, Yuhan is busy. The emperor gave him a difficult problem a few days ago. If he can't do it, his head will fall. No one can save him."

"The Empress Dowager has not shown her joy for more than ten years. This is indeed an extremely difficult task..."

"I hope he will be auspicious and have his own appearance."

"My minister will see the empress dowager, my empress is blessed and safe." Yu Han knelt in front of the empress dowager, waiting for a response.

The queen mother was lying on her side on the Arhat bed, beckoning him to flatten her body.

"Yuhan, did you bring the book?"

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, yes, I brought two copies."

"Only two? Ai's family is almost bored in the palace. Those concubines will gather together to pay their respects and say a lot of things that I don't know. Or don't come at all and stay in their own palace. People. This harem has never changed for decades or hundreds of years, it's boring."

"Does the Empress Dowager want something new?"

"Good boy, don't try to trick Ai's family. This trick was not taught by your adoptive father..."

"This has nothing to do with father, it's the humble official who deserves death for offending the empress dowager."

"That's right, Prince Duan is wandering around on weekdays, not doing his job properly, how can an idle prince still care about Ai's birthday..." The Queen Mother said slowly.

"No, Empress Dowager, my father has been worrying about receiving gifts from my mother recently. It's not that I don't care about my mother's birthday. It's just that my father is normal... that is, he looks like a fool..."

"All right, all right." The Queen Mother waved her hand: "The Ai family understands that both the Holy One and King Duan were born to the Ai family, so they naturally understand, but seeing King Duan become such a virtuous person... I can't help being a little sad."

Yuhan wanted to say something, but when she saw that the Queen Mother was still talking, she closed her mouth: "Boy, you can be regarded as a good grandson of the Ai family... you can do whatever you want about the painting, and the Ai family will take care of it." with you."

"Follow...follow me? Hey, why does this sound wrong... Which book did you learn it from?"

"Thank you Queen Mother, but as a birthday present for the Queen Mother... Yuhan will still work hard."

"Okay~ Aijia is waiting to see your kid's good show." After speaking, the queen mother raised her hand again, signaling Yuhan to back down.Yu Han saluted, bent her body, and quietly exited the Queen Mother's bedroom.
