Willing to be hired by Jiangshan

Chrysanthemum Autumn Banquet

It was night, and Yan Xi was writing books at his desk under the lamp, when he heard a change in the room, he raised his head and met Lin Rongchen's smiling face.

Yan Xi got up and saluted, "What is the emperor's happy event today? Could it be that some concubine is pregnant again? Can I allow my minister to congratulate first?"

Lin Rongchen's smile froze on his face, "You really know which pot you can't open and which pot to lift!" He put the picture scroll in his hand on the case, immediately lifted the hem of his clothes, and sat on Yan Xi's chair very casually, pointing his finger After clicking on the picture scroll, the voice was lazy, "Open it and have a look."

Yan Xi looked suspicious, "Is the emperor here to invite his ministers to taste paintings again?"

"That's not true!" Lin Rongchen straightened his back and said with a smile, "This is what Huang Wan left in the morning. Today I learned that you have a nickname."

"What nickname?" Yan Xi rubbed his nose, knowing that he couldn't hear it without thinking.

"The white-headed old man." Lin Rongchen smiled happily, his eyes fell on Yan Xi's face, and he couldn't stop laughing.

Yan Xi clasped his fists and stared at him, "Is it funny?"

"It's... not very funny." He suppressed his smile, "This is what Concubine Shu gave me."

Yan Xi heard the words, rolled up the painting, put it under the candle...and burned it.

Lin Rongchen: "..."

It's okay not to mention Concubine Shu, but when it comes to her, this painting is absolutely impossible to keep.

"Why did you burn it? If she asks me next time, how should I answer?"

Yan Xi said indifferently: "Why do you keep the fake ones? If the emperor is afraid that Concubine Shu is not willing, I will draw you a real one."

Lin Rongchen just smiled and said nothing.

Yan Xi spread out the rice paper, grinded it, and picked up the brush. Lin Rongchen took the brush away from behind, "Forget it, what do I want that kind of fake painting for? Besides, the real one is in my study, why do you need to draw another one?" ?”

Yan Xi didn't speak.

Lin Rongchen said: "What? Not happy?"

"No." Yan Xi turned around and met Lin Rongchen's gaze, "I just feel that I don't have the skills to separate myself, and I'm afraid I don't have so much energy to accompany the emperor to act like this."

Lin Rongchen pondered for a while, "If not...you also pretend to have broken your leg and rest it for a few months."

"..." This idea is really good.Yan Xi didn't want to talk.

"That's it. You find a suitable opportunity, preferably when there are many people."

Yan Xi glanced at Lin Rongchen silently. "I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know how terrifying a jealous woman is!" Thinking about these days, just seeing the tip of the iceberg is scary, and when you can't see it, those secret calculations are probably even more scary.

Lin Rongchen tilted his head and looked at him meaningfully, "Is it only women who are jealous?"

Who burned the painting just now?Who is ignoring people?

Yan Xi raised her eyes, "What does the emperor mean by saying this?"

Lin Rongchen nestled back into the chair again, looking at him deeply with his eyes, "Yan Xi, haven't you noticed that you have gone too far recently?"

"Excessive?" How could he not notice?But I don't know why, I can't control myself more and more.Seeing him with other women, and hearing him name other women, Yan Xi just felt very unhappy, and sometimes even forgot the inviolable etiquette between monarchs and ministers.

"Or, I can use another word—to be proud of being favored."

"..." Yan Xi's face suddenly burned up, obviously she was very unhappy just now, but she felt extremely guilty when Lin Rongchen said that.Was he overwhelmed by jealousy?

Lin Rongchen said: "Have you thought about the question I asked you today?"

"No." Yan Xi told the truth.When he came back from the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he sat down at his desk and wrote a book, and he had no time to think about it.

Lin Rongchen looked at him with his chin propped up, and suddenly sighed, "Forget it, rest! I'm busy these days, so I won't come."

"Ah."

Send Lin Rongchen away, sleepless all night.

Sure enough, Lin Rongchen didn't come for several days, and Yan Xi didn't look for him either.He was afraid of encountering the scene of that day again.According to Liuli, Concubine Hui recently brought a picture scroll and went to Lin Rongchen to comment.

Yan Xi laughed at himself, these women are really fighting for favor.

For his silence these past few days, Liuli was very puzzled, others wanted to pounce on him, but he was lucky, he nestled in the Hehuan Hall every day, drinking tea, reading books, playing the piano... his life was extraordinarily leisurely and comfortable.

"I heard that the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden are blooming very delicately this year. Concubine Shu also hosted a chrysanthemum banquet. Why don't you go and see the beauties?" Liuli received the invitation early this morning.

The beauties in her family refused to go out except for the daily greetings, so sooner or later they would be isolated, and besides, Concubine Shu invited him, how could he not go?

But Yan Xi shook his head abruptly, "I don't want to go!" What can I say to a group of women?Maybe before he opened his mouth, he was ridiculed from head to toe.

"This way..." You will have no friends.Liuli shook her head, "After all, she is Concubine Shu, her status is higher than that of a beauty, so she can't go if she doesn't go. Besides, in this deep palace, there must be a sister who can talk, even if it's fake, it's better than nothing. Otherwise, the beauty won't be there. Do you think it's too maverick?"

Yan Xi was very grateful for Liuli's sincere concern, "The emperor told me not to go out and walk around if I have nothing to do, why don't I ask him next time when he comes."

His current situation is to be ignored and treated as air.

Suddenly remembering what Lin Rongchen said, Yan Xi got up, "Go, go and have a look!"

When Liuli heard this, she laughed and hurriedly waited for her to change her clothes, "The beauty finally figured it out."

Yan Xi was shivered by a gust of westerly wind when he stepped out the door, "What's wrong with the weather this year? When has the capital been so cold?" He wrapped his cloak tighter, "The ancients said: those who are abnormal are demons. "

Liu Li felt a chill down her spine at what he said, and somehow the word "ghost" popped up in her mind. She shook her head, suppressed these strange thoughts, and urged: "Beauty, don't be too late!"

"Let's go!" Yan Xi lifted her skirt, twisted her slender waist, walked gracefully to the entrance of the imperial garden, and said to Liuli, "My eyesight is not very good, Liuli, help me to see, Concubine Shu, Concubine Yi and the others What kind of skirts are you wearing?"

It was the first time that Liuli knew that Yan Xi's eyesight was bad, so she gave him a sympathetic look, and explained the outfits of all the concubines one by one.Yan Xi nodded while listening, "Well, okay, I see."

Walking up to them, he greeted several people, "I have seen you all, my concubines!"

Luo Ying was quite familiar with Yan Xi, after all, she had spoken to Yan Xi a few times, and she was very happy to see him here, "Miss Xi, come and sit down!"

Yan Xi bowed, "My sister came here uninvited, I don't know if I will disturb my sisters!"

"How could it be!" Luo Ying pulled him into the banquet very enthusiastically. "I can't see you on weekdays. If you have nothing to do, you should come out and walk around often!"

Yan Xi smiled and nodded.Looking up, the banquet was full of purples and reds, which was actually very eye-catching.Regardless of whether he recognized them or not, whether he had seen them or not, he nodded and smiled.

But a few people dismissed his overtures and started discussing them quietly.

Unfortunately, because of the same status as him, these people sat next to each other. Yan Xi's eyes are not good, but his ears are good!

"Hey, isn't this Yu Wei? Do you still remember? On the day of choosing a concubine, she wore a 'wedding dress', and she hasn't been in bed until now. It's really ironic."

The other person laughed lowly, "I said she looks familiar! Look at her big and thick face, it's no wonder the emperor likes her!"

Another person said: "Didn't you see that she was walking just now, her waist twisted like it was about to break. If you can't twist it, don't twist it! It's embarrassing!"

Another person said: "Didn't you say she was sick? What kind of sickness?"

"..." Yan Xi looked down at herself, and asked Liuli, "I really told them...frivolous?"

"..." Liuli coughed, "Don't listen to their nonsense, beauties, you are taller than them, but so what, maybe the emperor likes this?"

"..." Yan Xi continued to ask, "I twisted my waist just now... really ugly?"

It's hard for Liuli to answer this.

Yan Xi: "..."

That's all, I won't twist it in the future!

Liuli said in her ear: "Beauty, don't listen to their nonsense! These people like to gossip, I will write it down for you. Let the emperor take care of them later!"

Yan Xi smiled.I thank you!

Everyone talked to each other, only Yan Xi seemed to have nothing to say, nothing to say.Sitting like this is really embarrassing, why not perform something.

He raised his glass, cleared his throat, and was about to speak when he fell to the ground with a "plop" and convulsed.The posture was so ugly that even Liuli blushed for him.

The concubines: "..."

This was the first time they encountered such a situation, and all of them turned pale with fright.

Liuli hurriedly went to help him, "Quickly send the imperial doctor!"

This matter alarmed Lin Rongchen, and when he flew all the way to the Hehuan Palace and saw Yan Xi leisurely crossing his legs and nibbling melon seeds, he finally let go of his hanging heart. "Which show are you in?"

Yan Xi smiled and said: "Didn't the Emperor say that I will announce to everyone that I have a hidden disease and need to rest." In this way, he will not have to go to various banquets in the future.

Lin Rongchen supported his forehead, "I didn't expect to announce that you were ill so early. Since you fell ill in public, that's all, I will tell the imperial hospital and prescribe some medicine for you."

Yan Xi tilted his head to look at Lin Rongchen, with a smirk of success.

Lin Rongchen looked at him, his heart fluttered, he coughed lowly, and turned away, "Did they make things difficult for you?"

Before Yan Xi could open his mouth, Liu Li who was at the side couldn't wait to tell everything that happened during the banquet in detail.

There was a smile on the corner of Lin Rongchen's mouth, looked at Yan Xi, and asked, "Your beauty didn't say anything?"

Liuli nodded, the emperor can still laugh?Don't you feel wronged by the beauty?

Yan Xi said embarrassingly: "What do I have to worry about with them as a man? Just listen with the left ear and go out with the right ear."

Lin Rongchen punched his mouth, chuckled, "Okay, I know." After saying that, he turned to Liuli, "In the future, your beauty will be proud, and you can avenge him any way you want."

After hearing this, Liu Lidun felt much more at ease.

Yan Xi: "..."

Still revenge, is this palace fight endless?

The author has something to say: After entering the palace, the length is about 20 chapters, and Gongdou will not write too much, too detailed.The main reason is that the author can't write, hahahaha.
