west wind sleepless

A gorgeous eight-carrying sedan chair slowly landed and stopped in front of an imposing mansion.

The sound of the pass quickly passed through the triple courtyard.Finally, a maid whispered outside the crystal bead curtain: "King Jing is here." Inside the bead curtain, a beautiful woman put down the scroll in her hand and smiled slightly: "Please."

In the hall, the young King Jing was drinking tea, looking at the beauties who came out surrounded by a group of maids: "Ruiyang, it was said that you got a good thing and invited me to share it, but now you asked me to wait for a long time, but Are you trying to whet your appetite?"

Princess Ruiyang smiled and said: "Brother Wang is still so impatient. Ruiyang dares to neglect you, but I am afraid that you will be tired in the next court, why not take a rest first."

"There is nothing to be tired of. The world is peaceful, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful. Besides, there are hundreds of civil and military officials in state affairs." King Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, "The only thing I can do is family affairs. You know, my father has been worried about you recruiting a son-in-law for a long time. "

When he said this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.Princess Ruiyang is the most beloved jewel in the palm of the emperor, and she obeys everything she asks for.As soon as she became an adult, the emperor gave her the princess mansion, allowing her to enjoy the mansion exclusively, just like the princes who enshrined the king, which shows the prosperity of the favored family.What's more, the princess was born radiantly, she is a beautiful woman of national beauty, I really don't know how many eyes she has seen through the eyes of the officials and eunuchs, and she also wants to be a son-in-law in her dream.

"The random flowers are becoming more attractive," Princess Ruiyang said slightly, "Since Brother Wang is free and has nothing to do, why don't you worry about it with your father?"

"You are self-willed." King Jing shook his head helplessly, "Father has spoiled you a long time ago. According to me, it's better not to recruit, so as not to hurt other people's children."

"That's very good," the princess said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Brother Wang."

"I have to take care of the unpleasant things. Do you know that not only the father is worried, but those courtiers also love to seize the opportunity to worry about you."

"They are in such a good mood. They don't sweep their own courtyards, but care about whether other people's roof tiles are red or green." The princess narrowed her bright eyes slightly. "Brother Wang should recommend some good jobs to them, so that no one will get sick if they are too idle."

"They're just following Father's wishes and joining in the fun," King Jing changed the subject tactfully, "When will you be willing to take out your good things?"

The princess smiled and gestured with her eyes, and the maid beside her held a long box.

King Jing took out the scroll from the box and unfolded it, then raised his eyebrows. After looking at it for a while, he said to Princess Ruiyang: "It's really different!" One or two, never seen it before. Who did it?"

"Brother Wang, do you want to meet?"

Under the clear sky, the breeze is infinite, and the garden is full of fragrance.Yin Qingyu quietly painted in the sea of ​​flowers.

Two years ago, he was washed to the bank of the river by the current, just as Princess Ruiyang's motorcade passed by, and he was rescued.The icy river water froze his lips blue, and the imperial doctor said that fortunately he had a little bit of inner strength, otherwise he would have died.

He was taken in at the Princess Mansion.The princess was known for her literary talents and liked calligraphy and painting, so she left him as a painter in the mansion.

Before he came, there were already six painters in the princess mansion, all of whom were from different backgrounds.His family name is unknown, he has no famous teacher, and he has no scholarly family background. In the eyes of all the famous scholars, he is really a man of the mountains.

He has no background and no teacher, and he is not good at speaking, how to communicate with others.The painters in the princess mansion often exchanged their painting skills, invited him to drink and chat and laugh, and left him alone.

However, he didn't notice this at all.

——Wake up from the boundless deep water, as if I had a big white dream, and everything has gone away.In his heart, there is only painting.Just want to draw.

A maid came to the side lightly and said, "Mr. Qiu Yu, Your Highness invites you to meet the guests in the front hall."

After seeing the ceremony, King Jing looked at the young man in front of him. "You're not very old, but the painting has the meaning of Laozhuang. This painting," he unfolded the scroll, "why doesn't it have a name?"

Yin Qingyu replied: "I don't know what the name of the question is."

"What are you thinking in your heart, what is the purpose of this painting, and you don't even know?"

Yin Qingyu was quiet for a while, and then said: "I have something in my heart, but I can't speak it, so I borrowed a brush to express it. If words could express it, there would be no such painting."

King Jing smiled and said, "Interesting, it makes sense." Turning to the princess, he said, "Ruiyang, it's rare for you to recruit such a strange talent."

The princess couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile: "A scholar dies for his confidant. If he doesn't meet me, who will he meet?"

King Jing looked at the princess with a smile for a moment, then nodded to Yin Qingyu: "The painting is not bad. Thank you."

The entourage obeyed and came forward to give a pair of jade Ruyi.

"You go down." After King Jing finished speaking, he picked up the tea and looked at the princess. "Ruiyang, I have a few words."

The princess waited for Yin Qingyu to leave, and turned to King Jing: "Brother Wang, do you want to ask about this person's background?" She continued to herself, "You haven't been in Beijing for the past two years, so I don't know, he was in Jiangnan when I was traveling. Saved."

King Jing asked, "Who?"

"According to him, he is an ordinary person, but I can see that he is dressed in high-quality clothes, second only to the satin in the palace. He must have come from a wealthy family. He drowned in the river and woke up in a trance. Ask him why he lost his footing. Ken said."

"Since his origin is suspicious, how can he be kept in the mansion?" King Jing frowned, "There is an unknown person beside you, just in case..."

"I know this too," the princess lowered her eyes. "It is often said that writing is like a person, and painting is the same. No matter how delicate and beautiful peonies can be painted for him, he is cold and lonely, and he has nothing to contend with... He has something hard to say, and I don't want to." It's hard to be strong, and one day he will tell me everything."

King Jing smiled helplessly: "If you want to be so smart, tell others what to say? Even if he is doing his job, he can't guarantee that he will not be implicated. I think he is not careful about you and me, and he doesn't like gold, silver and jewelry. , is definitely not a commoner in the city; if you say rich and noble children, there is no trace of pampering and arrogance. When a drowning person is saved, he should care about his family and return his heart like an arrow, but he never mentions staying in the mansion; if he says he is homeless, why does he wear rich clothes? ? If it’s so strange, there must be something unusual behind it.”

The princess couldn't help but looked at him, her bright eyes showed admiration: "Brother Wang is quick-witted, really smart."

The princess had never praised anyone like this before. King Jing felt hot, but he was still worried: "If his family commits a crime or makes enemies, wouldn't it be troublesome? Father and I will not be at ease."

The princess smiled: "Father doesn't know, so he won't worry. As for Brother Wang... don't you trust me?"

King Jing saw that she was sure, so he could only sigh: "You...you are self-willed. Just be careful in everything. You always show your sharpness, how many people are behind you..."

The princess suddenly interrupted him: "Brother Wang, you always care about me. Do you know that there are many people staring at you behind you? Mrs. Zheng Guogong came to the door the day before yesterday and asked me to speak in front of the father and let her niece marry as Princess Jing; The younger sister of the great general of the country also often visits with her mother, expressing her admiration for Brother Wang."

King Jing's face darkened slightly, and he said, "There are many things."

The princess smiled slightly, with a hint of schadenfreude. Before she could speak, the maid suddenly came to report: "Your Highness, Mr. Zhang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, invites your two Highnesses to come to the residence to appreciate the paintings. There is one more word for Your Highness."

"What?"

"This painting should only exist in the sky, not for princes in the world."

The princess and King Jing looked at each other and said in unison, "What a breath!"
