In the evening, Wen Nianruan had just finished taking a shower. She was wearing a thin gauze dress, and her exquisite curves were looming.
Qiu Bai said at the door of the bedroom: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here."
What is the Dog King doing here?
Wen Nianruan's good mood disappeared: "If you don't see me, just say I have fallen asleep."
"But I know that my beloved concubine is not sleeping."
Xiao Jinran's half-smiling voice sounded at the entrance of the palace. Qiu Bai stood aside and did not dare to speak. She did not expect that the emperor would come so quickly. He was still outside the palace just now and came to her in the blink of an eye.
He heard everything the empress said clearly.
Gan!
Wen Nianruan cursed secretly, picked up the clothes and wrapped himself tightly. He couldn't take advantage of Xiao Jinran's dog eyes.
Xiao Jinran pushed the door open and came in, and saw Wen Nianruan half-lying on the chaise longue with her legs crossed and her white and tender feet dangling leisurely.
Seeing Xiao Jinran's eyes falling on her feet, Wen Nianruan was startled, and immediately crossed his legs and sat upright, hiding his feet under the skirt.
She had to keep her promise to Yun Chenan not to show her feet in front of other men.
"Your Majesty is here, what's the point of your visit?"
Wen Nianruan spoke lazily and sat motionless on the imperial concubine chair. Ever since the showdown with Xiao Jinran, she didn't bother to pretend anymore. She could even pretend to salute before, but now she doesn't even say salute, and she doesn't even have a look on her face.
Xiao Jinran looked at him with a good face.
Xiao Jinran ignored her attitude, lifted up his clothes and sat at the desk: "You are my beloved concubine, I can't come to see you anymore?"
"If you say you can't, should your Majesty just lift your ass and leave?" Wen Nianruan forced out a fake smile on his face.
"."
Xiao Jinran twitched the corner of his mouth, poured a cup of tea, and blew the white mist lightly: "It seems that my beloved concubine still doesn't want to see me."
Wen Nianruan snorted: "It's not the first time you've known this, and you still don't have any self-awareness?"
"." Xiao Jinran's face turned darker again.
After taking a sip of tea and suppressing the anger in his chest, he said: "I heard that although my beloved concubine is in confinement, she is living a good life. Concubine Shu, Jiang Xiuyi and Yang Guibin are still having fun with my beloved concubine in Fuhua Palace today.
.”
No need to think about it, it must be Ye Qianhe's complaint.
Wen Nianruan responded: "Ah, what's wrong with them playing with me? You said you wouldn't let me go out of the palace, but you didn't say you wouldn't let them in."
Look, how reasonable and confident.
Xiao Jinran closed his eyes and took a breath, no longer discussing the matter with Wen Nianruan, knowing that he could not convince her.
He turned his eyes and saw a scroll on the dowry. He stood up and picked it up to take a look.
Wen Nianruan's eyebrows twitched, and he subconsciously wanted to get up to stop him, but Xiao Jinran had already opened the scroll.
That's all. Wen Nianruan pinched the center of his eyebrows and lazily sat back on the chair.
Xiao Jinran looked at the portrait and was startled for a moment, then blurted out and asked: "Who painted this?"
The portrait was painted by Wen Nianruan, but it was definitely not painted by herself. Wen Nianruan was not proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It was obvious that the person who painted this portrait was a master of painting, so he could paint people so lifelike.
This portrait was sent by Xiao Yi some time ago. Wen Nianruan kept it on the dowry box because she usually didn't have outsiders coming to her bedroom, so she didn't pay attention to it.
Who knew that Xiao Jinran would come today, and his dog eyes were quite sharp.
Wen Nianruan rolled his eyes upwards and responded casually: "It was drawn by someone else."
"who?"
Xiao Jinran stared at Wen Nianruan with sharp eyes.
An idea flashed in his mind, and Wen Nianruan looked Xiao Jinran in the eyes: "The painting was painted by Concubine De."
She was thinking in her heart, what Concubine De painted, what Concubine De painted, is what Concubine De painted.
Sure enough, Xiao Jinran's eyes softened a little, but he was still a little suspicious.
Ye Qianhe's painting skills were well-known in the Imperial Capital and her painting skills were superb. Xiao Jinran had no doubts about her painting skills at all, but what he doubted was how could Ye Qianhe paint a portrait for Wen Nianruan, and the two of them had no doubts about her painting skills.
The relationship is not that good either.
Hiding the doubts in his heart, Xiao Jinran closed the portrait and put it down without asking any more questions.
Wen Nianruan breathed a sigh of relief and began to say: "It's late at night, it's time for the emperor to go back and rest."
Xiao Jinran raised his eyebrows: "What if I want to rest at my beloved concubine's place?"
Want to rest here? Climb quickly!
Wen Nianruan gave a fake smile: "Then your Majesty, it's better not to think about it. If you stay here, I will lose sleep all night. My fragile body cannot bear this sin."
The sky is big and the earth is big, sleeping is the biggest.
If Xiao Jinran stayed here, would she have to keep her eyes open and watch out for him all night?
"."
A layer of ice formed on Xiao Jinran's face, slightly cold: "Wen Nianruan, do you hate me so much?"
Aren't you insulting yourself by asking this?
Wen Nianruan thought about it seriously: "I don't like it anyway."
She didn't dislike Xiao Jinran that much, but she didn't like him either.
As long as Xiao Jinran doesn't come to Fuhua Palace and they don't disturb each other, that's fine. But as soon as he comes to Fuhua Palace, Wen Nianruan feels repulsed. Although she is his concubine, there is no emotion between them.
.
Xiao Jinran suddenly teleported to Wen Nianruan, placed his hands on both sides of her, pressed forward, narrowed his eyes and asked, "What if I stay tonight and want Concubine Wen to sleep with her?"
Wen Nianruan moved back and distanced himself from him, with a sneer on his lips: "If the emperor insists on doing this, our cooperation will end here."
She promised that she would help him deal with the Queen Mother's party.
Xiao Jinran clenched his fists with five fingers, veins protruding on the back of his hands, and his face was gloomy: "Are you threatening me?"
"If you think it is, then it is."
Wen Nianruan looked at Xiao Jinran without hiding or dodging, not timid at all.
"Okay, okay, you are really good!"
As if gritting his teeth, Xiao Jinran stood up straight, threw down his sleeves and left with a cold face.
Qiu Bai, who was guarding outside the palace, saw the emperor leaving angrily, and knew that he and his wife had broken up on bad terms again.
When Qiu Bai entered the palace, he saw Wen Nianruan jumping down from the imperial concubine chair in a hurry. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He took out two boxes of rouge from the makeup box and handed them to Qiu Bai. He said anxiously: "Give this rouge to Ye Qian."
He, just say I want her to draw a portrait."
Under the misty autumn clouds, I didn't know what Wen Nianruan meant, but seeing her anxious look, I took the two boxes of rouge and hurriedly went to find Ye Qianhe.
Wen Nianruan took a breath, hoping that Xiao Jinran's movements were not as fast as Qiu Bai's.
In order to save the portrait, she had no choice but to go to Ye Qianhe for help.
When Qiubai came back, he said it was done.
Ye Qianhe accepted Wen Nianruan's rouge and agreed to draw a portrait for her.
Ye Qianhe has been coveting Wen Nianruan's rouge during the day, and taking this opportunity, she will definitely not refuse it.
After Xiao Jinran returned, the more he thought about the portrait, the more strange he felt, so he asked Eunuch Fang to ask Ye Qianhe if he had painted a portrait of Wen Nianruan.
Ye Qianhe was a little confused. Why did Wen Nianruan come to her for a portrait?
portrait.
After hearing this, Eunuch Fang went back to resume his duties. Xiao Jinran learned that Ye Qianhe had indeed drawn a portrait of Wen Nianruan, and his doubts were dispelled.
As everyone knows, although Ye Qianhe agreed to paint a portrait for Wen Nianruan, the portrait has not yet been painted.
Wen Nianruan didn't care whether Ye Qianhe painted or not in the end, as long as she said "I painted a portrait of Concubine Wen", that would be enough.
In this way, Xiao Jinran really thought that the portrait in her bedroom was painted by Ye Qianhe.
