Knowing that Yu Sheng was appreciated by the emperor, Jiang Huamei was overjoyed.You must know that Jiang Huamei has always spoiled her younger son. After all, with such an excellent eldest son like Yu Ce inheriting the family business, Yu Sheng will be able to live comfortably and live a prosperous life even if he spends his days idle.It was a complete surprise to her that Yu Sheng had the talent for painting and was appreciated by the emperor.She asked the kitchen to prepare a table of Yu Sheng's favorite dishes, and celebrated for Yu Sheng.

As for Yu Mengqing, as Yu Sheng thought, he always believed that he should study hard, and he would follow the same path as Yu Ce in the future, and the two brothers could also help each other.He disapproved of Yu Sheng's idea of ​​entering the Imperial Academy of Painting, and told Yu Sheng that he could paint if he wanted to, but he had to continue reading.Yu Sheng was a little depressed, and Yu Ce comforted him: "Calligraphy and painting are inseparable. The examination of the Hanlin Academy of Painting will also test poetry and poetry. You still have to continue learning."

Just like in the past when you had to take regular courses in the art department, Yu Sheng expressed his understanding.In the future, besides taking cultural lessons with Yu Lu, he will also learn to paint with the painter Yu Ce invited. The days of carefree soy sauce are gone forever, and now he has to complete the beauties of the emperor's harem before Qixi Festival picture.

Yu Sheng has to enter the palace every day. After painting Xiao Guifei, there are Shu Concubine, De Concubine, Xian Concubine, and then there are Nine Concubines, Jieyu, Beauty, Talent and so on.Yu Sheng painted one painting a day, and it took half a month to finish the painting, which made everyone else faint. He thought that the emperor would not really have three thousand beauties in the harem, so wouldn't he have to paint for three years? !

Facts have proved that he thought too much.When he finished painting No.15, the eunuch who received him finally said to him: "Young Master Yu, you have finished painting all the beautiful pictures in the harem. You don't need to enter the palace tomorrow, and you can rest well."

Yu Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Eunuch."

"It's getting late, let's send Young Master Yu out of the palace."

Not long after he left, Yu Sheng came to the imperial garden again, and accidentally saw a beautiful woman in white clothes with slightly curly hair sitting in the flowers. It was the queen of the forest that he had seen not long ago.

Empress Lin was alone, without the maids beside her, her expression was indifferent, as if she was covered by the cold moonlight.He noticed Yu Sheng's gaze and turned to look at him. The eunuch hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "My servant sees the queen."

Yu Sheng was about to kneel down too, when he heard Empress Lin say, "Second Young Master Yu, don't need to be too polite."

Yu Sheng said respectfully, "Thank you queen."

"Your painting," Lin Hou's voice was as clear as autumn wind, "how is it going?"

"Back to the Queen, the painting is already finished." When Yu Sheng was speaking, he couldn't help but look up at Queen Lin.Lin Hou still had that unearthly appearance, just like a fairy who descended from heaven and earth.

"Thank you." Lin Hou said, "Eunuch Li, send Second Young Master Yu out of the palace."

"Yes."

Yu Sheng followed the eunuch for a few steps, then stopped suddenly, turned to Empress Lin and said, "Queen, I... can I make a painting for you?"

Empress Lin seemed a little surprised, "The emperor only ordered you to paint for the beauties in the harem."

Yu Sheng was quite nervous, and even forgot to say, "I wanted to draw it for you. You... are so good-looking, better than any other beauties I've seen these days. There's no reason I only draw them. I won't draw you..." After Yu Sheng finished speaking, he noticed that the face of the eunuch beside him changed suddenly, and then he realized what he had said.He is an ordinary person now, and if he said this to the queen who is a brother, he might lose his head.Yu Sheng regretted it immediately, and looked at Lin Hou nervously.

Fortunately, in the eyes of Queen Lin, Yu Sheng is just a half-grown child, and he doesn't think his words are malicious.He showed a very shallow smile and said: "No need, Second Young Master Yu, please go back."

Yu Sheng was rather disappointed. He didn't know why Empress Lin refused, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only follow the eunuch.Before leaving the imperial garden, he still couldn't help but glanced back at Queen Lin - the eldest prince is not in the capital, and Queen Lin will definitely not celebrate the festival with other concubines. Can only be alone.

In the Dayuan Dynasty, the Qixi Festival was a statutory holiday and an annual grand day.On this day, there is a market in the capital that specializes in begging artful items, called Qiqiao City; there will also be a begging building in the palace for concubines and maids to beg for artful things under the moon.

The Double Seventh Festival is Girls’ Day. On this day, women will visit close friends in their boudoirs, pay homage to the Weaver Girl, learn from female celebrities, and pray for luck. Ordinary men can also join in the fun. A touching and poignant love story.

On such a lively day, the three brothers and sisters of the Yu family would naturally not stay at home.During the day, they ate Qiaoguo and Qiaoqiao rice in the mansion; at night, Jiang Huamei took the children to the street to watch the temple fair.Yu Sheng invited Yu Lu to be with them, but Yu Lu wanted to stay in the mansion to spend the festival with Xu Waner, and Yu Sheng couldn't force him.

Yu Ge was a lively and active age, and she could run away without a trace, so Jiang Huamei had to follow her every step of the way.Yu Ce went to a poetry meeting at the invitation of a literary friend, and Yu Sheng clamored to go with him.

Yu Ce was vigilant, "What do you want? There is no girl in the poetry meeting I'm going to."

Yu Sheng rolled his eyes, "You can put it down. On this Chinese Valentine's Eve, you guys will not find a beautiful woman to accompany you when you sing poems? Who are you lying to?"

Yu Ce still couldn't understand why his younger brother was so sensitive about his pleasure-seeking. He felt that he was about to become a strict younger brother. "Sheng'er, those girls are all talented girls. We just talk about poetry and songs, we don't do anything else."

Yu Sheng was amused by Yu Ce's helpless expression.It has to be said that Yu Ce has calmed down a lot these days, and he rarely even goes to Fuyun Mansion. Yu Sheng attributes his change to his good discipline.But Yu Ce has been honest for so long, it's time for him to let him go. "Brother, go, I won't stop you, and I won't go with you."

"Then you told your mother just now..." Yu Ce quickly realized, "I see, you are going to see your elder brother Wei Lan, aren't you?"

Yu Sheng admitted bluntly, "Mother is still angry with my aunt and forbids me to meet him. She must not know about this, otherwise she will scold me for turning my elbow out again."

Yu Ce looked at him inexplicably, "You meet him as soon as you meet him, how could it be like having an affair."

Yu Sheng blushed instantly, "Nonsense, we, we are not cheating."

Yu Ce shook his head resentfully, "You go together with confusion, and we will meet here in an hour's time."

After saying goodbye to Yu Ce, Yu Sheng walked towards the place he and Yan Weilan had agreed in the letter in a daze.

There are really many people on the street tonight, especially in Qiqiao City, which is full of traffic and crowds.Yu Sheng was lucky that he didn't take the carriage, otherwise he would be too jammed to move.He crossed the crowd to the bridgehead in the east of the city, and saw the young man in black standing in the middle of the bridge at a glance.

After not seeing him for a while, Yan Weilan seemed to have grown a lot taller again, and Yu Sheng suspected that standing beside him probably only reached his shoulders.He stood upright, tall and straight, like a piece of pure white jade, and other passers-by lost their luster under his reflection.

Yu Sheng's heart was pounding, as if he hadn't seen him in half a lifetime, and was about to call him when two girls beside him laughed.

"That young man has been standing here for half an hour, who is he waiting for?"

"Let's say who it is, that person is too cruel, to let the fairy-like young master wait for such a long time."

Yu Sheng felt guilty for a while, so he didn't do it on purpose, who made his mother disagree with him playing with Yan Weilan.

Apart from these two girls, many men and women around were staring at Yan Weilan, and some of them were discussing whether to buy a lantern as a gift for him.

It is a tradition to give lanterns to the person you like on the Qixi Festival. If the sweetheart accepts the lantern, it means that the two are in love with each other, otherwise it means ugly rejection.

Yu Sheng became vigilant inexplicably. He looked around and saw a street vendor selling lanterns not far away, and hurriedly ordered Mifu: "Mifu, go to the old man who sells lanterns and buy all his lanterns." .”

"Ah?" He said in a daze, "All? Why..."

Yu Sheng said anxiously: "Don't ask, hurry up, buy it and send it back to the mansion."

"Oh, good master."

Yu Sheng dismissed the confusion, then walked towards Yan Weilan with a bright smile, "Weilan!"

Yan Weilan looked for fame, smiled slightly, and the coolness around her body turned into a pool of rippling autumn water, "Yu Sheng."

Yu Sheng walked up to him and apologized, "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Yan Weilan nodded, "It's been a long time."

Um?Why didn't Yan Weilan follow the routine? How could he answer the conversation?

"Then, what should we do?" Yu Sheng whispered.

Yan Weilan thought for a while, "Why don't you give me a gift?"

Yu Sheng cheered up, "What do you want? Let me tell you, I have a lot of money recently, and I can buy you whatever you want!"

Yan Weilan looked at him with tenderness in his eyes, and his face was brighter than a blooming peony. "Flower lantern, I want you... to give me a lantern."

Yu Sheng's expression froze for a moment, "Yes, yes. Let's go ahead and see, there should be a street vendor selling lanterns."

Yan Weilan said: "It's nearby, I'll take you there."

Yu Sheng continued to struggle: "The lanterns in that house are not well made."

Yan Weilan raised her eyebrows slightly, "How did you know?"

"I, I..." Yu Sheng said "I" for a long time, but "I" couldn't come up with a reason. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a lot of people gathered in front of him. It seemed that there was something lively to watch, so he quickly changed the subject, "Hey, there seems to be a It's very interesting, let's go and have a look!" After speaking, without waiting for Yan Weilan's reaction, she ran over.

Yan Weilan watched his back and sighed softly.

After Yu Sheng crossed the bridge, he realized that everyone was watching the excitement of Fuyun Mansion.In order to attract new and old customers, Fuyun Mansion has also done a lot of tricks today, among which is the old-fashioned "throwing hydrangea".The red card girl from Fuyun Mansion was standing on the second floor, and there was a crowd of people standing downstairs, looking up at the red card's demeanor.

The red card is worthy of being a red card. She was born with fair skin and beautiful appearance, and her smile is full of style.Seeing this, Yu Sheng couldn't help admiring: "This sister is so pretty."

Yan Weilan nodded in agreement, "It's really pretty."

"..." Yu Sheng felt a little awkward in his heart, but after thinking about it, he felt that his reaction was very strange.I can praise others for their good looks, why can't Yan Weilan?I am really hypocritical.

Yu Sheng forced herself to relax and focus on the red card.Under the booing and urging of the crowd, she picked up the hydrangea and looked back and forth among the crowd.According to the rules, anyone who can receive the hydrangea, no matter who they are, can have a drink in Fuyun Mansion for free, and can spend the night with the red card who threw the hydrangea.

The red card picks up jobs for free, so naturally you have to pick a customer you like.She only took a few glances, and her eyes immediately locked on a person.

Seeing the girl with the red card making all sorts of secret glances at Yan Weilan, Yu Sheng suddenly realized that he had overlooked a very serious problem.

In the past, he and Yan Weilan were together, either in Yu Mansion or Yan Mansion, this is their first date outside (?), everyone on the street can appreciate Yan Weilan's beauty.He lowered the villain's dark attributes so low that he almost forgot that Yan Weilan won the country with his face in the original book. Such a beautiful face in this prosperous age will attract everyone everywhere!

At this time, the girl with the red card had already locked onto the target, and before Yu Sheng could recover, she saw the big red hydrangea flying towards Yan Weilan.

——Don't let the hydrangea hit Yan Weilan!

This idea popped up in Yu Sheng's mind in an instant.He took off, jumped, leaped, and spread his arms, trying to stop the big, red hydrangea.Just when he was about to take down the hydrangea ball, he was suddenly pulled from behind. Just when he thought he was going to fall to the ground, he suddenly fell into an embrace with a faint fragrance of leaves.

"Wei, Wei Lan?"

Yan Weilan put her arms around his waist behind him, and whispered in his ear, almost gnashing her teeth: "Is that why you like her so much?"

At this moment, Yu Sheng felt a chill.He hurriedly turned around and explained in a panic: "I'm not, I don't. Wei Lan, you misunderstood..."

Yan Weilan looked at him expressionlessly, the coldness on his body made people want to retreat involuntarily.It was the first time Yu Sheng saw Yan Weilan like this, his heart skipped a beat, he was thinking about how he made Yan Weilan unhappy, when he saw Yan Weilan smiled lightly, and returned to the gentle and watery appearance just now, "It's a pity that the hydrangea was picked up by others. "

The lucky one who picked up the hydrangea ball was an ordinary-looking young scholar. The red card girl was quite sorry, and had to follow the rules to invite the scholar into Fuyun Mansion.The fun was over, and everyone dispersed.Yan Weilan said: "Shall we go to Qiqiao City to have a look?"

Yu Sheng carefully scrutinized Yan Weilan's expression, seeing that there was nothing unusual about him, he was slightly relieved, and said with a smile: "Okay."

The two of them were about to leave when a pair of hands appeared in front of their eyes, and then they heard a strange voice: "You two young masters, please stay. My master invites you to go upstairs to talk."

Yu Sheng looked at the man in black in front of him, and asked, "Who is your master?"

The man in black said: "King Shu."

"..." Yu Sheng didn't want to deal with King Shu out of a thousand, but he sent someone to invite him because of his status. He really had no reason to refuse.He looked at Yan Weilan, "Weilan?"

Yan Weilan said: "Let's go."

The two of them followed the man in black into the Fuyun Mansion and came to the private room on the third floor.The man in black said: "My lord, someone brought it here." After saying that, the door opened from the inside.

Yu Sheng and Yan Weilan walked in.There was a strong smell of wine in the private room, and a beautiful lady in red was sitting in the hall playing the piano; there were several shadowy figures behind the screen, one of them must be Li Luan.

The man in black made a "please" gesture, and the two walked around the screen and came to the back.

Tonight Li Luan was dressed in purple, sitting cross-legged in front of the table, accompanied by two handsome young men, one of them was pouring wine for him with a smile, while the other was leaning on his lap, playing with his hair.It is worth noting that there is a little red mark between the eyebrows of these two teenagers - these are two brothers.

In a romantic place like Fuyun Mansion, there will always be one or two elder brothers.Many people can't marry their brothers, so they like to try new things from them.According to them, the feeling of being in love with a brother is completely different from the feeling of being in love with a woman and a man.

Before the two could speak, Li Luan said, "Xiao Yusheng, we meet again."

Yu Sheng put on a half-smile, "Hi, my lord."

Li Luan smiled at him, and turned to Yan Weilan, "Are you the seventh son of the Yan family? This king saw you at Xiao Yusheng's banquet."

Yan Weilan nodded lightly, "My lord."

Yu Sheng looked at Yan Weilan and then at Li Luan. He didn't know if it was his illusion. He felt that the moment the two people's eyes met was a little bit of lightning.
