Yao Xi vigorously rubbed off the ghost painting talisman in front of him, dropped the brush and hugged his head in pain.If she dared to present such a painting to the empress, the empress would be furious even if she was a bodhisattva.

But she has really tried her best to use the paintbrush to outline the beauty of the Empress Dowager, but what she thinks in her heart is not the same as what is really shown in the brush.In her eyes, Niangniang is a beautiful elf fairy, but in her writing she is as ugly as a goblin.

After cutting out the drawing paper, Yao Xi plucked up the courage to start another attempt——

Sure enough, everything was in vain!

But the empress dowager has seen how ugly her handwriting is, so she should be able to forgive her for the uglier painting, right?Thinking of this, Yao Xi felt a lot more at ease. She painted very seriously and carefully. Don't expect beauty, but at least the nose is the same as the nose and the eyes are the eyes.

Yao Xi was concentrating on creating, when suddenly the sound of footsteps came from outside the hall.

Yao Xi knew that this was the Empress Dowager leading the people back from the Empress Dowager's Kunning Palace.Why did the empress come back so soon?Are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just so quarrelsome that they have nothing to talk about?The Empress Dowager is also right, why should I stay with the Empress Dowager for dinner before leaving!People in the mother world don't even know how to treat guests, great prosperity is about to perish.

Wan Yu just walked through the apricot blossom forest, and saw the door of the main hall was open, Yao Xi was sitting in front of the desk, writing and drawing with a brush.

A smile appeared on her lips again.To be honest, it would be a bit embarrassing if that girl Yao Xi painted her too beautifully.Wan Yu left the waiter outside with great anticipation, and entered the hall alone.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager came back, Yao Xi quickly crumpled up the messy things he drew before and threw them under the table, and pretended to spread a few clean sheets of drawing paper on top of the one he just drew.

She still didn't dare to show the painting to the empress dowager.Although according to her standards, the last painting is not bad, it can be seen at a glance that it is not only a human being, but it even has a faint expressionist style.

"Xiao Yaozi, how is the painting going?" Wan Yu walked up to Yao Xi, took out the pistol that had been hidden in her cuff and patted it on the desk.The pistol is not light, and she was really tired after holding it all the way.

Yao Xi's petite heart trembled from the fright of the pistol.Madam, what does this mean?It's just a portrait painting, as for risking your life?

Guiltily, she kicked the ball of waste paper under her feet to the table, then smiled and said to the empress dowager: "Go back to your mother, I have been thinking hard for a long time, but I still feel that these vulgar pens and ink can't draw the stunning beauty of my mother. "

Wan Yu doesn't like to hear this.

She loves calligraphy and painting, and the brushes, inks and colors used are the best in the world.And this girl Yao Xi actually said that her stuff is vulgar?How dare I say it! "Does Eunuch think that the objects painted in Aijia Palace are too vulgar and not worthy of Eunuch's extraordinary painting skills?"

"No! Ma'am, listen to my explanation..." Yao Xi panicked.

"Since it's not, then let's draw!" Seeing that the drawing paper in front of Yao Xi was blank, Wan Yu dragged a chair across to Yao Xi and Shi Shiran sat down and said, "It just so happened that Ai's family came back, and my father-in-law took the same picture as Ai's family. Is there any problem with home painting?"

has a problem!And it's a big problem!

Yao Xi put down his pen, and said pitifully, "I really don't know how to draw, I'm afraid my mother will get angry when she sees what I draw." After she finished speaking, she unconsciously looked at the hand gun that was full of ammunition.

"Didn't Aijia promise you that no matter what kind of Aijia you paint, you won't be angry. Let's start writing!" Wan Yu said with a smile.

Ma'am you will regret it!Yao Xi picked up the pen, gritted his teeth, and began to draw a watermelon from a gourd.Because the Empress Dowager is right in front of her, Yao Xi is more nervous than before when she was creating alone. The lines in her pen are sometimes thick, sometimes thin, crooked.

After finishing the painting, this painting is not as good as the previous one!Taking advantage of her not paying attention, she quickly rubbed the painting and threw it under the table.

Yao Xi really didn't dare to present such a crap.She thinks it's better to try to avoid this matter, don't make the empress angry, if the empress gets angry, she will have a hard time.But what do you think?

"Is your lady thirsty?" Seeing the hot tea on the table, Yao Xi had an idea.

Wan Yu was really thirsty. She talked a lot with the queen in Kunning Palace, but she never dared to drink the tea in the Queen's Palace. On the way back, her mouth was parched. "is a bit."

Hearing what the empress said, Yao Xi quickly got up and picked up the teapot and poured a cup full of tea, then walked towards the empress dowager with the tea bowl dangling.Walking halfway, Yao Xi pretended to accidentally knock over the tea bowl with a trembling hand, and poured hot tea into Yao Xi's hand in an instant.

"Ah——" Yao Xi screamed and threw away the tea bowl, clutching his right hand tightly and squatting on the ground, his five sense organs were tangled in pain.She really hurts!But being scalded with tea is much better than angering the empress dowager.Yao Xi's hands were hurting, but his heart was full of joy.

This catastrophe can be regarded as dodging!

Seeing that Yao Xi had been burned, Wan Yu quickly stood up from the chair, walked quickly to the cupboard and brought the usual burn ointment.She uncorked the medicine bottle, squatted down beside Yao Xi, and held her reddened little hand in distress. While applying the medicine, she said, "If you don't want to paint, you don't paint. Why do you do this? Don't you know that Aijia feels sorry for you!"

"Niang Niang..." Yao Xi never expected that his acting skills would be so bad that the empress would see through him at a glance.She moved her reddish eyes, looked affectionately at the Empress Dowager and said: "To a slave, Your Majesty is more beautiful than everything in the world."

Wan Yu pursed her lips, but said nothing.

The ointment is refreshing and cool, which relieves the pain quickly.Yao Xi felt that his hands were not so painful, so he stretched out his hands to clean up the broken porcelain on the ground.

"Hey!" Wan Yu glared at Yao Xi. "Some are cleaned up by people. If you take care of the wound on your hand, the Ai family still wants to earn your 1 taels!"

What 1 taels?It took Yao Xi a while to react, and he lowered his head with a blushing face.

When Wan Yu put the ointment back to its original place, she passed by the book case, and she saw a faint painting under the white paper. "Isn't this already painted?"

Yao Xi gasped in fright, the Empress Dowager actually pulled out the expressionist painting she had painted earlier.Being taller than the dwarfs, she was barely satisfied with the painting, but she couldn't catch the eyes of the empress dowager!

"You draw very fast!" Wan Yu praised Yao Xi with a smile.She picked up the dried painting and glanced at it, the smile on her face slowly cooled down.Is this person with a square head, crooked chin, big eyes, high and low shoulders, hands and feet deformed? "Huh..." Wan Yu let out a long breath to relieve the anger in his heart.

She promised that no matter what kind of ghostly picture she drew, she would not lose her temper with Yao Xi, and besides, the girl still had injuries on her hand.Moreover, Yao Xi has a reason for concealing his painting skills, and he doesn't want to expose the identity of the talented woman of the Yao family...

Pooh!No matter how difficult he is, he wouldn't spoil her like this, right?Or don't draw, at least draw like a person!Wan Yu herself couldn't find an excuse to explain for Yao Xi.

Yao Xi saw that the Empress Dowager's face turned frosty instantly, and knew that the Empress Dowager was angry. "Your Majesty... I really don't know how to draw..." Yao Xi stepped forward aggrieved, and made amends by beating her shoulder with his injured hand.

Wan Yu was temporarily unable to recover from the impact of the portrait on her. "Huh..." She took another breath, calmed down and said to Yao Xi: "Aijia just wants to know what he looks like in the eyes of the father-in-law. Does the father-in-law want to tell Aijia that Aijia is in your eyes?" Is this what it looks like in this painting?" Wan Yu held up the painting in front of Yao Xi and asked with a cold face.

"Your Majesty misunderstood. This servant is not painting your Majesty, but yourself! I haven't painted for a long time, and I am afraid that my brushwork will offend my Majesty, so I will use my own pen first." Yao Xi's desire to survive was burning.The empress dowager was standing by the desk, and she could reach the pistol that was placed there before.Of course Yao Xi didn't think the Empress Dowager would hurt her, but she was still a little scared out of instinct.

"Eunuch, this is clearly a portrait of a woman!" Wan Yu was not stupid.

"The servant is not a real eunuch! Before entering the palace, the servant always dresses up as a woman, so the self in his memory is naturally the appearance of his daughter's family." Yao Xi struggled hard.She absolutely can't admit that the person in the painting is the Empress Dowager, absolutely not!Fortunately, her painting skills are rough, and her clothes and headgear don't have any details, otherwise she couldn't make it down.

She regretted that she didn't rub the painting together and throw it away.Because I really didn't expect to be able to fool my hands with burns, so I kept the one I was most satisfied with for emergencies.

Wan Yu glanced at Yao Xi's injured little paw, and even though she was still angry in her heart, she couldn't bear to argue with her anymore.

"Go to Ning'an Palace and ask Aunt Yuanxi to get some things. You can use dinner in Ning'an Palace, and come back after you finish!" She asked Longyi to have dinner together, and Lan Jieyu, she wanted to ask the two of them Yao Hezheng's case.To overturn the case for Yao's family and take Yao's father and mother back to Beijing, Wan Yu planned to keep Yao Xi from telling the truth first, and then send Yao Xi to his family directly after the matter was completed, so as to give the child a big surprise.

"Yes..." Yao Xi sniffed aggrievedly.The empress was really angry, and she didn't want to have dinner with her anymore.

"Take a few more people to follow, and don't touch heavy things if your hands are hurt." Wan Yu warned.It is not easy for Yao Xi to return to her side, and he can no longer let the child wander alone in the palace, maybe something will happen to him again!

"Yeah." Yao Xi nodded happily, but luckily the empress still cared about her.

***

During Yao Xi's disappearance, not only the Queen Mother was worried about her, but also Meng Delai from Dongchang.

Meng Delai even ordered his subordinates to search for Yao Xi secretly, but unfortunately he didn't know when and where Yao Xi disappeared.Just when he gave up, he heard news from the palace that Eunuch Yao, who was beside the Empress Dowager, had suddenly returned to the palace.

If he doesn't use Yao Xi anymore, maybe he won't have a chance to use it.It would be a pity if he disappeared again, or was accidentally killed by the assassin who assassinated the empress dowager.Yao Hezheng's daughter, Yao Shuanglan, was quite competitive. Not only did she come out of the cold palace, but she also lived in the emperor's Qianqing palace. Not long after she came out, she was promoted from nobleman to Jieyu.According to this momentum, I am afraid that he is aiming at the position of queen.If he doesn't add fire to the Yao family, it's only a matter of time before the Yao family turns around.

Zhu Guozhang's home was ransacked, and the second prince Feng Xin born by Empress Zhu was rumored to be not born by the emperor. The Zhu family was basically finished.Meng Delai was also disturbed that Zhu's house was ransacked, and Zheng Dayun, who supervised the ransacking of the house, seemed to concoct a lot of perjury to smear him.This charge cannot be regarded as a slander, but it is impossible for Zhu Xiangchang to have his criminal evidence in his hands.

He has always been cautious, and the only one who miscalculated is the Queen Mother. He really never thought that the richest businessman in the world is actually the Queen Mother.

Zheng Dayun had to be removed.Tang Huaili served the emperor day and night in the palace, as long as he got rid of his godsons who were in the way, Tang Huaili was at his wits end, so he might not be able to take care of the supervisor.

As for Yao Xi.That kid has become the Empress Dowager's man, so he must be extra careful.Don't let Yao's family do any harm, they let themselves in.It seemed useless to borrow Concubine Kang to present paintings last time, and the Empress Dowager was completely unmoved by beauty.

Since it was impossible to use masculinity to make the empress dowager snub Yao Xi, the only way to do it was from Yao Xi.
