Xu Yinzhen asked Lang Shining to serve rock sugar yellow sandalwood pears, and said: "Mr. Lang, let's taste it." Lang Shining blinked and took it with both hands. Wu Ning listened to his accent and pronounced "emperor" like "emperor mulberry" , couldn't help but laugh in my stomach.

Lang Shining pinched the small silver fork with his big hand, tasted a piece of rock sugar rosewood pear, with a surprised expression on his face, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, said: "My lord, what kind of pear is this? It's very delicious, thank you emperor!".

Yinzhen smiled: "As long as Mr. Lang likes it."

Wu Ning watched Yinzhen gossip with him for a long time, and finally got to the point. The two chatted about the pictures for a long time, which seemed to mean that Lang Shining was finishing several pictures that Yinzhen was eagerly waiting for.

After a long while, Yinzhen smiled mysteriously at Wu Ning, and said, "I'll show you something!" Then he got up himself, walked to a painting on the wall, stretched out his hand and pushed it lightly, and the frame squeaked and turned around , but it turned out to be a secret door, Wu Ning opened his eyes slightly, and saw Castiglione's expression of not being surprised, taking it indifferently, holding the agate silk dish in one hand, eating rock sugar pear juice, and Su Peisheng stood aside His face was straight and expressionless.

Not long after, Yinzhen came out with some scrolls in his hands. Seeing this, Su Peisheng quickly went up to help him hug him. Yinzhen asked him to hang them up in the painting hall. When the lights were shining brightly, Wu Ning saw the first painting scrolls. On the picture scroll is Yinzhen sitting cross-legged among the rocks, holding a rosary and wearing cassock, just like an eminent monk who has retreated to the mountains and forests to practice Zen. What made her unable to believe her eyes was that there was actually a A red poisonous snake, sticking out its tongue, stared at Yinzhen ferociously!

Very dark style...

Seeing the expression on Wu Ning's face, Xu Zhen was like a child showing off his favorite toy to others, there was a trace of innocence in his expression, and he proudly asked: "Not bad!".

Wu Ning nodded repeatedly.

Yinzhen began to explain the pictures to her in simple terms: it turned out that he was playing an authentic eminent monk in the painting, reciting scriptures, and his practice was profound.No, the poisonous snakes have come to listen to his chanting!

Wu Ning: "...".

Su Peisheng had already hung up the second painting, Yinzhen tightly held Wu Ning's hand, and dragged her to the second painting.

Wu Ning raised his head: Pfft...

Yinzhen in the painting is wearing a Mongolian robe with colorful stripes and red boots on his feet, holding a peach in his right hand, and handing it to a small, black and thin monkey on a pine tree. When they reached out to catch Taozi, both the man and the monkey looked very happy.

Wu Ning: "...".

The composition of the third picture is more quaint, and it is fishing alone in the cold river and snow.

The sky and the earth are all a piece of cold white, Yinzhen pretends to be a fisherman who is fishing, wearing a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat, with an indifferent expression, Wu Ning stared at the picture for a long time, as if he could hear the silent snow falling between the sky and the earth, but he didn't notice why At that time, Yinzhen who was beside him had quietly walked away.

Someone patted her on the shoulder suddenly, Wu Ning was immersed in the picture of fishing alone in the cold river, startled suddenly, turned his head, and was stunned.

Yinzhen in front of him: wearing a foreigner's wig on his head, long and straight to his shoulders, and a bow tie, with a full set of Western clothes.

Yinzhen smiled at Wu Ning: "How is my body?", and turned to Castiglione again.

Castiglione praised sincerely: "Oh! Very handsome! Your Majesty! You are very handsomely dressed! You are an out-and-out handsome man!".

Yin Zhen turned to Wu Ning again and said, "What do you think of Ning'er?".

Wu Ning smiled and said: "At first glance, the concubine may not be used to it, but just as Master Lang said, the emperor is an out-and-out handsome man, no matter how he dresses up, he is good.".

Yinzhen straightened his sleeves, then raised his hand to touch the tie under his throat, sat back on the huanghuali wooden chair with great satisfaction, said to Lang Shining: "Let's start!", and then blinked at Wu Ning, He said: "It's up to you after I finish the drawing. Mr. Lang only needs to draw a rough outline, and he can go back and complete it after recording it. It doesn't take too long.".

Wu Ning was frightened: What do you want me to pretend...

Castiglione said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please sit over there, where the light is brighter!".

Yinzhen couldn't help correcting him: "It's the light that is brighter!".

Castiglione smiled good-naturedly: "Yes, the light is more...brighter!", when he pronounced the word "bright", he seemed to be having a hard time, Wu Ning could see clearly under the light, and saw that his saliva spit out .

Yinzhen sat motionless opposite Castiglione, the room was silent, Wu Ning sat on the side chair at one side, recalling the famous sentence of Yongzheng in history: "I am such a man! Such is my nature!", endured Can't help laughing dumbfoundedly.

After Yinzhen finished painting, he clapped his hands and summoned several court ladies. No.1 held a set of light blue smoke-colored clothes on the tray, while the second and third held some color-matched pearl hairpins. Wu Ning looked at the clothes, It didn't look like a flag dress, and he said in a daze, "This is it?", but it was a set of Ming-style Hanfu with a stand-up collar. Yinzhen pushed her into the dark room inside, signaled Qingming to go in and serve, and closed the door again. .

Wu Ning saw that there was a hole in the dark room, the setting was well thought out, there were portraits hanging on the walls all around, and there were layers of plain curtains hanging behind the screen, Qingming waited for her to change into the light blue Hanfu, and helped her Then she changed her hairstyle, rolled up her hair, and put a light blue flower hairpin on her left temple. Wu Ning looked at herself in the mirror, and felt that the color was fresh and light, which made people feel cool even in this midsummer night. Five or six points.

She went out of the room, when Yinzhen saw her, his eyes lit up, he took her hand, looked him up and down, nodded and said: "It looks good!", and excitedly dragged her to the table under the fence outside the eaves Beside the case, there are chessboards, folding fans and other things on the table, which are naturally scattered. There is also a pink plum vase with a white background, and a few snow-white and stretched flower branches are inserted in the middle. "Landscapes have unvoiced sounds", Yinzhen asked her to lean on the table, look at the rocks in the backyard, and asked her to change her posture several times before letting Castiglione to paint.

Seeing Yinzhen's high interest, Wu Ning couldn't bear to rebel, and smiled as he let him do it. It happened that there were butterflies flying by in the garden. Yinzhen pointed and said, "Draw the butterfly in it too." Wu Ning simply put it out. He took a butterfly-watching pose.

Castiglione's paintings were made into scrolls, and it was already autumn in August when they were delivered.One evening, Wu Ning was watching the sunset by the Taohuaxi River, but Su Peisheng brought someone to look for her. Lord Dao Long Live held a small banquet in Qingyan, Jiuzhou, and asked Concubine Ning to have a drink together.

The sunset glow in the sky gradually dissipated, Wu Ning went with the sedan chair, saw that Yinzhen had set up a small banquet in the depths of the flowers, it was the dark fragrance floating in the moon dusk, saw her coming, waved her away from her ceremony, and smiled and placed the banquet on the table. Pushing the scroll forward, said: "Look.".

Wu Ning had already guessed six or seven points, took it and carefully opened it, and saw that it was indeed the portrait of himself that day. In the painting, the woman had slender eyebrows and eyes, with a complacent expression, wearing a light blue Hanfu, half leaning and half standing next to the table The dark blue streamer on the clothes brushed the ground, and the rocks, bamboos, and colorful butterflies under the corridor were all drawn with great care. If she didn't know that it was cast by Castiglione, she would not be able to see the traces of Western paintings at all.

Seeing the expression on her face, Yinzhen smiled and stretched out his hand to pour her a glass of wine, saying: "Try it, this is lotus bamboo wine. It has a weak taste and no stamina. It is most suitable for women to drink. It was a few days ago in the imperial dining room. A newly tossed pattern."

Wu Ning took it and drank it, still looking at the painting.Yinzhen said proudly; "Not bad?" Wu Ning nodded and said, "I like it very much."

Yinzhen laughed loudly, and said again: "It's a pity that I like it more than you. I want to keep this painting, but I can't let you ask for it.".

Wu Ning blinked, only felt that Yinzhen's smile seemed to have some meaning, she lowered her head, held the cup in both hands and slowly sipped the green lotus and bamboo wine, and she heard Yinzhen come over and say softly: " Put this scroll of pictures in the warehouse, no one else can see it except me."

Wu Ning put down the cup, frowned slightly on purpose and said, "Can't you give it to concubines? Your Majesty is really stingy!".

Yinzhen smiled and said: "Every Qixi Festival in the future, I will personally help you dress up and design clothes, and then ask Castiglione to draw a pair for you, until there are twelve pieces, all of which will be given to you to make twelve screens!" , he said, put down his chopsticks, raised his hand and gestured in the air pretentiously.

Wu Ning couldn't help himself, he covered his face on the table and laughed, and after a while he raised his head and said to Yinzhen: "Concubine, thank the emperor for your kindness, thank you for your great kindness!".

The moon is over.

The moonlight projected from the window panes on the bright yellow curtains of the dormitory. Yinzhen lay on his back on the pillow, holding Wu Ning's long hair in his hand, twirling it gently between his fingers, Wu Ning was in his arms, thinking Just now about the screen, I still can't help but chuckle.

Yinzhen bowed his head and said, "What is Ning'er laughing at?"

Wu Ning turned around, buried his face in the pillow and said, "It's nothing."

Yinzhen hugged her from behind, rubbed her neck lightly, said: "Aren't you telling the truth?", and pinched her waist while speaking.

Wu Ning immediately curled up into a big shrimp, she was the most ticklish, she was out of breath from laughing, raised her hand to block Yinzhen's hand, and cried repeatedly: "The emperor spares my life! The emperor spares my life! ", sat up again and lifted the quilt to hide at the end of the bed.

Yinzhen had been on guard for a long time, grabbed her wrist like a cat catching a mouse, dragged her over and strangled her in his arms, seeing her smiling so hard that her teeth could not see her eyes, she couldn't help but bowed her head and kissed her hard on the face, staring at her. He glanced at her, and then sighed: "At this moment, it's really like the past, when I was still the fourth elder brother." Wu Ning was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and the smile in his eyes slowly disappeared. Go, just staring at Yinzhen quietly.
