Ling Ruo nodded and said: "Well, if Sanfu wakes up, remember to tell me. Also notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to choose a cemetery for Jade to bury her alive. Although she is a servant, don't treat her too badly. How much is needed?
The money will be deducted from the monthly regulations of this palace."
"Yes, I will take care of it later. Master's kindness will be rewarded in the future." Yang Hai is different from Shuixiu and others. He only followed Ling Ruo after entering the palace, but what he has experienced in the past three years,
He has been convinced of Ling Ruo, and he is glad that he can meet a master who values love and justice. For example
Just like Jade this time, originally at this time, as long as Sanfu survived, he would definitely be loyal to his master, not only because his life was saved by his master, but also because he had no other way to go. In this case, a
The posthumous affairs of the deceased can be left to others to handle, and there is no need to mention them at all.
Ling Ruo didn't know what Yang Hai was thinking, so he only smiled bitterly and said: "While I am in the palace, my hands have already been stained with blood, so I don't expect any blessings from this palace. I just hope that the Yin Vulture will not be too injured, so as not to
Disaster for future generations."
There was nothing to say all day, and in the evening, Hongli showed Ling Ruo the oil paintings he had painted in the past two days and asked her to help choose the best one for Wu Ya.
After Ling Ruo rejected one after another, Hongli finally couldn't help but said: "Mother, isn't this picture of a tired bird returning to its nest good? I think this painting is the most beautiful and realistic, and the brushwork is also used.
most."
Ling Ruo smiled, and took the painting aside again. On it, several birds and geese were flapping their wings across the sky, flying to the bird's nest built among the branches. The sunset was enchanting on the horizon, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed most of it red.
The sky and the palace with red walls and yellow tiles below are truly beautiful.
"I don't deny that your painting is good, but it is very unlucky to give it to the Queen Mother. Do you know why?" Seeing Hongli shaking his head, she sighed softly and said: "The Queen Mother is seriously ill.
It is very likely that she will not be able to survive this autumn. And this painting not only shows tired birds returning to their nests, but also the setting sun. Are you insinuating that the Queen Mother's death is approaching?"
Hongli hurriedly denied, "No! Erchen didn't mean that! Erchen just thought the painting was good, and there was absolutely no intention to allude to the emperor's grandmother. In fact, he was also very sad when the emperor's grandmother was sick, but it was a pity that he was powerless and couldn't help.
Imperial grandmother."
"Of course E Niang knows that you are filial, but others don't. If someone sees this painting and uses it to make a fuss, you will definitely suffer a loss. Therefore, this painting must not be used."
"I know, sir, thank you for reminding me." Hongli broke into a cold sweat after hearing this, and took down the painting himself before Ling Ruo could do anything.
When he saw the last painting, Ling Ruo looked at it carefully and then nodded and said: "This painting is quite good. Although the brushwork is a bit poor, it is very suitable to present to the Queen Mother."
Hongli looked over and saw that he had painted "The Rising Sun" earlier. Because he had just painted it at that time and was not familiar with his brushwork, the overall style of the painting was very immature, and the scenery underneath was even a little deformed. It was really difficult to use it.
He glanced at Ling Ruo and said, "Mother, is this painting really suitable? Otherwise, I will paint another one."
"No need, just this one. The quality of the painting is secondarily important. The most important thing is your intention. Otherwise, as the Queen Mother, you can get whatever paintings you want, even Tang Bohu's. And the artistic conception of this painting is just right.
, it can make the Queen Mother feel relaxed and not always think about her illness."
Hongli said doubtfully: "Does it really have such an effect?"
Ling Ruo stroked his shoulder and said: "The rising sun means that everything is beginning to revive after a night of silence. Look at the trees you painted, every tree and every blade of grass gives people a sense of vitality and prosperity.
It means: Eniang felt very good when she saw her just now. Is there anything more suitable to give to your imperial grandmother than this?"
After listening to Ling Ruo's explanation, Hongli's doubts disappeared and he said with a smile: "Well, tomorrow I will send this painting to the imperial grandmother. I hope she will feel better and it will also help her condition."
Just as Ling Ruo was about to speak, Yinzhen's voice suddenly came from outside, "What are you two, mother and son, talking about, so lively?"
"Your Majesty." Ling Ruo and Hongli quickly stood up and saluted. At that time, Yinzhen changed into a sapphire blue bat-patterned casual clothes. Without waiting for Ling Ruo to get down, he helped her and said gently: "There are no outsiders, so there is no need to salute."
At this time, Hongli had already knelt down on one knee and said: "My son, I would like to send my regards to the emperor. I wish the emperor auspiciousness."
"Get up." Saying this, Yinzhen let go of Ling Ruo's hand, picked up the paintings Shang spread on the table and said, "Are you talking about these paintings just now? Look, the style of this painting is a Western oil painting.
, who painted it.”
Hongli was about to speak, but Ling Ruo had already stopped him and said with a smile: "I am brave, my Majesty, please guess, is it my concubine or Hongli?"
"Let me guess?" Yinzhen shook his head with a smile and held the painting carefully. Sixi, who came with him, had never seen a Western oil painting before. He leaned over curiously. When Yinzhen noticed it, he quickly lowered his head.
Yinzhen glanced at him and said, "Okay, don't pretend to be honest in front of me. Now that you've seen it, let's guess together."
"Hey." Sixi agreed carefully, looked at the painting in Yinzhen's hand carefully, and said with a smile: "This is the first time for me to draw this kind of painting. It looks like the real thing. It's so good, it should be Xi."
Painted by the Concubine."
Hongli glanced at him and said deliberately: "Eunuch Xi, do you mean that my painting skills are poor?"
Si Xi hurriedly called Qian'er and said: "Brother Si has unjustly accused me. You are both civilized and martial. Master Zhu often praises Brother Si in front of the emperor. How can your painting skills be poor? However, I think it is worse than Concubine Xi." , you..." He smiled and whispered: "You are a little bit worse than that."
Hongli said angrily: "I've been beating around the bush for so long, but it's not just that my painting skills are not as good as E Niang's."
Si Xi lowered her head and did not dare to answer, but Yinzhen said: "Your mother-in-law has always been very talented. She is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Why is it strange that you are not as good as your mother-in-law? But I think this painting
It doesn’t look like it was painted by your mother-in-law. The reason why the painting looks realistic is because
Regarding the relationship between painting methods and colors, the painting techniques of these paintings are still a little immature, especially this painting of the rising sun, which is lacking overall. I heard that a new Western painter recently came to teach oil painting, Hongli, these
Is it you who drew it?"
"Yes, it was painted by my son." At this point, Hongli took the picture of the rising sun and said, "Eniang said that this painting should be given to Emperor Zuma. Can you agree with it?"
Yinzhen had already looked at the painting carefully just now, and he naturally understood the scene in it. He immediately said: "Since your mother-in-law said it, it can't be wrong. Your imperial grandmother will be very happy when she sees it. Why don't you do it now?"
Send it off, and take the opportunity to have dinner with the imperial grandmother."
