[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

In the room, Wei Rong was also reflecting on the meeting just now.

It doesn't seem to be in compliance with the rules to wait for someone to leave.

It's all because of the day when the two met on the bridge, and being in the same room with him has become a habit.In addition, he was shocked by the fact that the fourteenth elder brother ate the paint, and he even forgot the abnormally strict rules in the palace.

Fortunately, no one came just now.

Fortunately, every time I saw Yinzhen in the past, I would deliberately press the jade ring under my tongue, blurring the tone and not revealing any flaws.

In the studio, she cleaned up the overturned table and cleaned up the scrapped paint.

It is impossible to start work today, so she greeted Qiu Yi and returned to Changchun Palace.

***

Late at night, in the study.

Yinzhen stood in front of the table.

There is a picture on the table.

The slender girl in the painting is wearing a long dark green dress with golden osmanthus flowers embroidered on the skirt, sitting sideways, surrounded by white mist, covering pavilions and pavilions, making her elegant and graceful, like a fairy.

The girl raised her hands, but what she was holding was not a fairy object such as Ruyi Ganoderma lucidum, but a plump golden chicken leg, which made the girl in the portrait a little more cute.Looking closely at the girl's side face, she is very beautiful, but unfortunately, the hanging bangs are slightly longer, covering her charming eyes.

Yinzhen stared at the painting.It took him more than ten days to complete this. Three points were the shadows seen through the water mist, and seven points were based on imagination.As for those eyes, he really couldn't put pen to paper, so he could only cover them with black hair.

Looking closely at the painting now, the profile looks somewhat like that of Wei Changzai.

No wonder when he was at the well, he felt familiar when he saw it.

She also remembered that when they met during the day, she just saw herself, squatting by the well, her eyes wide open, and she looked like a goose.

The corner of Yinzhen's lips smiled unconsciously.

Compared to the first time I saw him smiling and crying in the sun, he was much cuter.

This thought flashed by, and he immediately realized that something was wrong, and drove the shadow out of his mind.

After a moment of silence, he felt that his mind was at peace.

But when he looked down at the painting in front of him again, he became distracted again.

He twitched his brows slightly, so he could only put away the painting, went to get a Buddhist scripture from the bookshelf, and read it silently.

***

The next morning, Wei Rong came to Yonghe Palace.

She originally brought supplementary tool paints, but unexpectedly, all the white porcelain cups were full of brand new high-quality paints.Even the position of each color is exactly the same as before.Wei Rong had to sigh that the quality of the maids in Yonghe Palace is strong.

Qiu Yi smiled flatly: "The window was not closed the day before yesterday, and the rain came in and wet the paint that I always used. I'm ashamed, and I cleaned it up last night."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's a grace to always not dislike our mistakes when it comes to our duties."

After Qiu Yi finished speaking with a smile, she left with a few serving maids.

***

In the next few days, Wei Rong drew three base maps in one go.Then, taking advantage of Concubine De's free time, she submitted it.

Concubine De is not in the main hall.Wei Rong was led all the way back by the court lady, and arrived at the bank of the lotus pond where the curved water flows.

In the open gazebo, Concubine De was sitting at the stone table sipping tea.

The fragrance of tea is accompanied by the quiet fragrance of flowers, and the cool breeze in late summer blows past, just like a gorgeous picture.

There are a lot of tea stoves and tea sets on the table, and a slender woman is making tea. Her movements are elegant and smooth, and she divides the tea and boils water in a series, with a rhythmic beauty.

After entering the gazebo, Wei Rong realized that it was a nobleman.

It's just that I haven't seen her for more than ten days. Compared with the plumpness last time, Mr. Migui's figure has obviously slimmed down.Wearing a water-blue flag dress with silver thread and moiré patterns, her hair was not combed in a bun, and she only tied the three-foot blue silk behind her head with a sky-blue ribbon, and a small bell made of red gold was adorned under the ribbon. .

This makeup look is not uncommon in later generations, and it should be praised as lively and moving, but in this era, especially in the palace, it is disheveled, and it can even be accused of guilt.

Noticing her surprised gaze, Migui smiled, "I made Wei Changzai laugh at me. Your Majesty usually doesn't restrain me very much, and she's used to being loose in private."

Wei Rong laughed and said: "Your nobleman has the look of a banished immortal, and this makeup is even more amazing." She was telling the truth, the appearance of a nobleman is more suitable for this kind of Han clothing that looks like a fairy, and the cheongsam loses three points of beauty color.

Migui's eyes were bright, "Wei Changzai is not only beautiful, but also so sweet-mouthed, no wonder the empress loves you."

Wei Rong blinked her eyes. This sentence sounded normal, but it was a little bit wrong when she tasted it carefully. She didn't know how to answer it.

It was Concubine De who put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Don't I love you normally?"

Migui's eyes fluttered, "Your Majesty naturally loves me, but people are greedy. I always hope that your Majesty will only love me."

She said these words in a coquettish and idiotic tone, accompanied by a glance like water.Wei Rong watched from the side, but she didn't feel strange, only her mouth was full of sweetness.

The sweetness of being forced into a mouthful of dog food.

Concubine De smiled and said: "You are a mother-in-law now, not a child anymore, how can you still have such a temper."

"My lady, I will always be like this. Is it possible that my lady is tired of looking at it?"

Wei Rong pricked up her ears, darling, this style of painting, for some reason, on Concubine De, there is always an illusion of sending you faint lilies.

With Concubine Yi, and the nobleman in front of him, there is a feeling of honey lily.

Obviously, she has such a graceful and beautiful appearance, probably because her temperament is inexplicably calm and domineering.

If she was asked to quietly rank Kangxi's harem with an attack rating, this one would definitely be number one.

Seeing Concubine De's eyes fell on her, Wei Rong came to her senses and hurried forward to explain the business.

"I drew simple blueprints for the several scenery you mentioned earlier. You can refer to them and choose one to paint."

Concubine De took it, and said with a smile: "It's rare for you to be so meticulous. Sit down first, and let Ben Gong take a closer look."

Wei Rong sat down next to her as she said.

Concubine De unfolded the painting, smiled and said, "What kind of paint did you use to make it look like this?"

The frame of the painting is simply outlined with black lines, but it is not ink, but an almost dark gray color.

Migui also poked his head over curiously, and immediately said, "This must be black charcoal."

Wei Rong smiled and said, "Your honor is indeed well-informed."

"I just smell it." Migui smiled. "Jiangnan also uses this to write. The smell is not good, and the handwriting is blurred. Most of them are used by poor people. It is often used for painting, but it is ingenious."

Defei watched carefully.

Wei Rong was waiting quietly, when suddenly a cup of tea was pushed in front of her.

Migui smiled and said: "It's rare for you to come here, try the tea I made."

Wei Rong smiled and said, "Then I'm lucky."

"You work for your mother, you deserve this kind of blessing."

Wei Rong took it and took a sip.She doesn't know much about tea, she just thinks it tastes sweet and the aftertaste lingers on her teeth.

Miss Mi looked at her: "How is it?"

"Very good."

"The good thing?" Before Wei Rong could speak, she rushed to add, "Wei Changzai is a talented woman, don't use those big words to prevaricate me."

Wei Rong: ...do I still have to write a paper for you?

She had no choice but to say, "The first thing is that this tea is sweet and refreshing, and the second thing is that it is very beneficial to the body."

Mi Noble raised his eyebrows, "Oh, I don't know where the benefits are?"

Wei Rong said solemnly, "Quench your thirst."

Mi Noble: "..."

Puchi let out a chuckle, and it was Concubine De who couldn't help it anymore, she raised her head and smiled, "Someone can cure your sharp teeth."

She smiled and said to Wei Rong, "She is only gentle and virtuous in front of others, but she is usually sharp-mouthed in front of familiar people."

Migui said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty still says she loves me. Destroy me like this in front of my sister."

Wei Rong shuddered at the sound of her younger sister calling.Can only cope with the past with a smile.

Sitting next to her, Mr. Migui took a cup himself, and said with a smile, "I'll drink this tea for you. It's really like chewing peonies. Don't you know, this is the snow that I harvested on the plum petals last year and accumulated on the white porcelain." In the altar, it was buried under the plum tree, and it was taken out this year, and this altar is the only one..."

Following her elegant and moving tone, Wei Rong's eyes widened.

Last year's snow water!

Damn it, is this something people drink?Not afraid of bacterial poisoning!

Wei Rong's eyes widened, and she took a sip of the tea in her mouth, neither swallowing nor spitting it out, her little face flushed from holding back.

In the end, for the sake of her own health, she still vomited it out, of course in the bowl.

Migui stared at her, "You..."

It's fine for a cow to chew peonies, but he spits them out after chewing them. Don't you think it's not delicious?

Wei Rong wiped the corners of her lips with a silk handkerchief, and then said seriously: "My lord does not know, I am born with a cold and weak body, and I am most afraid of ice and snow. This snow water is cold to the bone, and it has been buried in the ground for another year. It's heavier, how dare you eat it?"

Without waiting for the nobleman to speak, he rushed to say, "I advise the empress and the nobleman to use less of such cold things."

Concubine De nodded and said: "This is an old saying. Women are inherently cold, more daily warming and less cold is the way to maintain themselves. Even though you are confinement now, you should not eat these casually."

Mr. Mi had no choice but to agree aggrievedly.

Wei Rong can be regarded as seeing clearly, this nobleman really has three parts of sister Lin's temper.There are rose thorns under the cover of the soft and obedient appearance, but it is not annoying, just cute and cute.

She can be regarded as a perfect fit for the dual characteristics of Kangxi's two most favored concubines in the early years, Concubine De and Concubine Yi.No wonder he was valued by Kangxi and favored by the Sixth Palace.

In the end, Concubine De decided on the background of the plum garden.Sighed: "It's a pity that it is summer now, and there is no beauty of plum blossoms in full bloom."

Wei Rong said: "It's not difficult. The branches of plum trees are ready-made, and a few plum blossoms can be imagined to embellish them." After all, it is a portrait of a person, and the focus is still on the person.

Mi Guiren interjected: "After all, it is only when the winter plums are in full bloom and the white snow is piling up."

Wei Rong smiled: "That's not difficult, you can paint other things first, and when it's winter, just fill in the red plums and white snow."

Migui smiled and said: "Wei Changzai still has a solution, anyway, he will have a long time in Yonghe Palace."

Wei Rong's mind moved slightly, and before she had time to think about it, she got up and left.

***

Back in the studio, putting away a few drafts, Wei Rong was about to leave when she heard rustling sounds from outside the window.

Wei Rong walked over, pushed the window open a gap, and saw a certain bear hanging on the edge of the window, trying to arch upwards.

The corners of Wei Rong's mouth twitched slightly, but fortunately the window was not high, she stretched out her hand to hug his shoulder, and with a little force, he let him in.

What's the matter if you have to climb the window if you don't go through the door?Are all boys this age so naughty?

"Why is the fourteenth brother here again? Are you afraid that your mother will worry?"

"I slipped out while playing hide-and-seek in the backyard, and they didn't even know about it." Elder Fourteen sat on the edge of the table, swinging his short legs triumphantly.Those black and white ink marks disappeared on his face. He was wearing a thin bamboo green short jacket and shorts, as cute as the little fairy boy in the painting.

But no matter how cute Wei Rong is, she is not interested in admiring it. This is Defei's sharp-hearted, and if something happens here, it will be a big trouble for her.

The last time the candy was covered with paint is still fresh in his memory. Fortunately, judging from the attitude of Concubine De to him, it should not have been leaked.

Yinzhen is really a gentleman who keeps his word.

"Brother Fourteen, let's go back earlier." Wei Rong persuaded with a good temper.

"I know." Little Bear hesitated at the table for a while, then took out a small oil-paper package from behind, "This is for you."

Wei Rong was surprised, "What?"

"Fourth brother said that I broke your things, so I should apologize to you." Fourteenth elder brother said in a low voice, but quickly cheered up again, "Although he is very annoying, but this time he is right."

Wei Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had no choice but to accept it.

It was soft in her hand, she opened it, and the aroma was tangy. It turned out to be four burritos, each about the size of a middle finger. The thin white soft burritos were wrapped with green vegetable leaves, red sauce, marinated chicken fried until golden, It can be said to be full of color, fragrance and taste.

It's just that the shape is a bit weird and familiar!

Why does it look more and more like a Mexican chicken burrito?Still an improved version of the mini.

"This was made in the small kitchen recently. The fourth brother specially found a recipe to honor my mother. I heard that it is also a new thing from a foreign country. I have eaten it twice, and it is delicious."

Wei Rong's black line, it's really the last time he asked Yinzhen to come out to test the secret nobleman.

The test was unsuccessful, and I tried it myself, and Migui was indeed not the traverser as expected.

According to Brother Fourteen, this thing seems to be popular in Yonghe Palace.

The fourteenth brother proudly showed off, "I heard from Wang Quande, who delivered meals, that many people have come to the small kitchen of our Yonghe Palace recently to beg for this thing as a snack, and the pastry chef is too busy. My ninth brother and tenth brother love it very much, and they take it with them in the imperial study every day, and everyone likes it. It's a pity that Er Niang doesn't like it, so she doesn't allow me to eat more." At the end, the fourteenth brother pouted. .

Wei Rong was full of surprise, the dishes and snacks in the imperial dining room in the palace were cooked carefully, much more delicious than this one.Of course, ordinary little concubines can't compare, but as a stealer, she has tasted all kinds of top-notch dim sum, and it is definitely much more delicious than this chicken roll.

Brother Fourteen wanted to shake his head and retort, "This one is delicious, it's fragrant and crispy after one bite! It's delicious."

"My tenth brother still doesn't eat the pancakes outside, but only smokes the chicken inside."

Wei Rong thought for a while and understood.The imperial family of the Manchu and Qing dynasties believed in Buddhism, and many concubines in the palace also paid homage to Buddha.Even the dishes in the palace are mainly light, paying attention to the original ecological flavor. Foods marinated in heavy salt and oil such as fried chicken rolls are very rare, and the taste is fresh, which really pleases young people.Of course, there is definitely no market for Defei, a vegetarian expert who pays attention to health preservation.
