There is no phoenix

In Xiayun Palace, Miaoyu and Daiyu are seriously painting.

After nearly an hour, everyone has finished drawing.

Miaoyu's painting is red plum, and the inscription on it is "Fragrant Lingzhi has a unique charm, and the proudest is the most sympathetic to the snow."

Daiyu's painting is green bamboo, and the inscription is "If you want to ask the bamboo king what is the ambition, the branches and leaves are my love."

Tanchun painted willows, and the inscription reads, "With the wind and the sky, there is a ambition to rise to the clouds, because fate is involuntary."

Xichun's painting is Qinghe, and the inscription is "It is difficult to wipe away the turbidity of the pond, but I hope that I will not be stained with dust."

Shui Yiyi painted chrysanthemums, and the inscription was still in meditation.

Everyone gathered around to look, and seeing that Shui Yiyi's paintings were also very good, they only heard Shui Yiyi say: "I only drew a few chrysanthemums, and I always feel that something is missing. Sisters, help me think about it."

Seeing that Shui Yiyi was a little anxious, Xichun hurriedly said: "Little princess, you add a few chrysanthemum leaves and draw two bees on the flower, it will definitely be more vivid."

Shui Yiyi sighed: "But I haven't even looked at the bees carefully, how can I draw them? Good sister, I know you are the best at drawing, please help me draw."

Shui Yiyi finished speaking, handed the brush to Xichun, and said to Miaoyu: "Sister Huang, help me think of a poem, I can't think of it."

Xichun had no choice but to lower her head to help Shui Yiyi add some chrysanthemum leaves, and drew two bees on the blooming chrysanthemum: one bee was lying on the chrysanthemum, and the other was flying towards the chrysanthemum.

Everyone saw that Xichun's addition really made the picture more vivid and lifelike.

Shui Yiyi saw that Xichun Tian painted so well, and said with a smile: "Sister's hand is so skillful, I couldn't draw so well just now, you added it, it really looks like what Yu Huayuan saw."

Xichun laughed and said, "That's because the princess's chrysanthemum is painted well, so it has this effect."

Shui Yiyi asked Miaoyu again: "Sister Huang, did you help me think of a poem? If you think about it, help me write it."

Miaoyu smiled and said: "A wisp of fragrance lingers and dances, Ao Shuang fights the cold and is full of gold. I think the paintings of the emperor are all yellow chrysanthemums. How about adding this line to the poem?"

After hearing this, Shui Yiyi asked Miaoyu to write it down.Miaoyu smiled and said, "My sister's handwriting is actually pretty good. I read it, and you write it yourself. If the emperor sees it, he will believe that you drew it and wrote it."

Shui Yiyi listened, so she sat up straight and added the poem.Everyone looked at everyone's paintings and commented on them.

For a while, the maid came to pass the meal.Miaoyu asked the maid to set up a bigger table, asked Xiang'er to accompany Zijuan, the color screen, the book attendant, and Shui Yiyi's personal maid, and she and Shui Yiyi accompanied Daiyu to the table.

After lunch, the girls played chess together again.Just after playing chess for a while, the palace servants outside came in and said: "The emperor is here!"

Miaoyu and the others hurriedly got up to greet them.

Seeing Shui Ruoyang coming in with a smile, seeing two tables of chess set up, he said with a smile: "See, you've been playing for a while, who is the best at chess?"

Shui Yiyi went up to hold Shui Ruoyang's hand and said: "Father, they are all very good. This sister Lin won just now, and she is playing next to Sister Huang, and this fourth sister is also very good, only a little older than me. I lost all three of her games."

Shui Ruoyang listened, looked at Daiyu and Xichun, then at Tanchun, and said with a smile: "In this case, you three sisters will play a game of chess with me, how about it?"

Daiyu Tanchun Xichun heard this, and hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that the minister's daughter will be bad, and the emperor will laugh at me."

Shui Ruoyang smiled and said: "It's okay, Miaoyu calls me emperor father, you are Miaoyu's sisters, just treat me as an ordinary elder. Which of the three of you is the oldest?"

Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Back to the emperor, the courtier's daughter is the oldest, she is 14 years old this year, and the two of them are one year younger than me."

Shui Ruoyang saw that Daiyu was not very nervous at this time.I couldn't help but look at Daiyu carefully, but I saw: light-colored dress, long black hair, only a jasper and vermilion hairpin on the head, which matches the elegant dress very well, a graceful and slender figure, white and reddish With a creamy face, under the black willow-leaf eyebrows, there is a pair of beautiful eyes like spring water and clear waves. Although he only looked up at Shui Ruoyang just like in the Royal Garden, Shui Ruoyang was amazed: No wonder Shui Rong was born two years ago. I can't forget after seeing Niannian, such a beautiful face like flawless jade, such a scent of books all over my body, such an elegant and otherworldly demeanor, as long as it is a man, it may be really difficult not to be tempted.

Shui Ruoyang hurriedly smiled and said: "Okay, Miss Lin, you can play with me first! I am an elder, and you are a girl, so you play first!"

After hearing this, Daiyu had no choice but to sit down and lay down first.

Shui Ruoyang took a close look at Daiyu, saw that Daiyu only looked at the chess game and not at herself, so she couldn't help laughing and said, "Miss Lin must have played chess a lot when she was young, right?"

Daiyu said: "Back to the emperor, my daughter used to play chess with her parents when she was young. It's just that when she was young, she never won and always lost."

Shui Ruoyang smiled and said: "I heard that you left your father for the capital at the age of six, and stayed with your father for a year when you returned home at the age of nine. If you can beat your father at such a young age, your father will be ashamed! "

After hearing this, Daiyu raised her eyes to look at Shui Ruoyang, blushed quickly and said: "Your Majesty, this is not what I mean by my ministers, it's because my ministers were less patient in learning everything when they were young, and it's the same when playing chess, that's why my ministers are so talented. He said he often loses in chess."

Shui Ruoyang laughed and said: "I heard from the King of Beijing that you were very lively when you were young. Even when you returned to Yangzhou that year, you often quarreled with your father about learning to ride a horse. Is there such a thing? "

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Go back to the emperor, yes. Because at that time the courtiers were most envious of people who could go out on horseback. When Uncle Wang of Beijing came to Yangzhou, the courtiers were arguing with my father to buy horses. But my father was busy, so I let people pretend Uncle Shui remembers a swing for my daughter-in-law to play with. After my daughter came to the capital, Uncle Shui took my daughter-in-law and my third and fourth younger sisters to Beijing to learn how to ride a horse, and Uncle Shui even taught us sisters in person.”

Shui Ruoyang smiled and said: "It seems that you, Uncle Wang of Beijing, have liked you since childhood."

Daiyu said: "To tell you the truth, Uncle Shui treats my daughter very well. When my daughter sees Uncle Shui, she feels a sense of closeness. Uncle Shui always calls my daughter Yu'er, and my daughter is very kind to me."

Shui Ruoyang smiled and said, "What does Miss Lin think of me? Do you think I'm not as kind as your Uncle Beijing Wang?"

Daiyu hurriedly said: "No, because my daughter's father said that Uncle Wang of Beijing has been to our house many times, so my daughter should be familiar with it. I was really nervous when I saw the emperor in the imperial garden just now. Now listen to the emperor talking with Bei Jing Uncle Wang is as kind, so I am not so nervous."

Shui Ruoyang smiled and said: "Miss Lin, you don't have to be nervous. The King of Beijing is my younger brother, and you can also treat me like my uncle. I am about the same age as your father, and I will call you Yu'er in the future. how?"

Daiyu hurriedly said: "The emperor is a Ming emperor, and my ministers have also heard that the emperor is benevolent. It is an honor for the emperor to call my ministers by their names."

Shui Ruoyang smiled and said: "That's good, girl Yu'er, you play chess well!"

Daiyu and Shui Ruoyang played the game for half an hour, but the result was a draw.

Shui Ruoyang praised: "Yu'er, your chess skills are really good. I can't beat you. You are worthy of being Gusu Lin Ruhai's daughter! I am old and can't be younger than you. Third girl, now you come to play with me in the next game!" "

So Tanchun took Daiyu's seat.Shui Ruoyang still let Tanchun go down first, and said with a smile: "You are Concubine Xiande's sister, I want to see, which of your sisters is the most powerful!"

Tanchun hurriedly said: "The courtier's daughter is not good at chess, the emperor should not laugh at the courtier's daughter."

Shui Ruoyang said: "You're only 13 years old, and it's not easy to manage a big family like Rongguo Mansion."

Tanchun hurriedly said: "To tell you the truth, the servant girl only started to help the housekeeper this year, because the housekeeper's sister-in-law was often sick and not in good health. The servant girl is only helping out, and the wife is mainly in charge."

Shui Ruoyang sees that although Tanchun's appearance is not as good as Daiyu's, she has slender shoulders and slender waist, a tall figure, an oval face, handsome eyes and sculpted eyebrows.He sighed secretly in his heart: "The girls in Jia's mansion are really good."

After one game, Tanchun lost a piece, got up and said to Shui Ruoyang: "The emperor is good at chess, my servant is ashamed!"

Shui Ruoyang said with a smile: "You are already good. Concubine Xiande's chess skills are similar to yours now, but you are still so young, and you will definitely be better than her in the future. Miss Si, now it's your turn to accompany me to the next game .”

Xichun listened, stepped forward to salute, and took Tanchun's previous seat.

Shui Ruoyang asked: "The fourth girl is also Concubine Xiande's biological sister?"

Xichun hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, my daughter was originally a girl from Ningguo Mansion, because my daughter lost her mother shortly after she was born, and her father went to Xuanzhen Temple to practice Taoism, so the old lady took my daughter to Rongguo Mansion to raise her up to now."

Shui Ruoyang nodded and said: "So you are the daughter of Jia Jing from the Ningguo Mansion. Your father is good and has passed the Jinshi exam. You are his daughter, and you have lived in the Rongguo Mansion since you were a child? I heard from Miaoyu that you like reading scriptures very much." Playing chess and drawing pictures, why would you like to read scriptures at such a young age? Could it be influenced by your father?"
