Chapter 18 Change the Portrait
Ji Shuidong poured a cup of hot tea and moved a chair for Lv Pangxiao. Lv Pangxiao sat down and took a sip of tea and said, "but there is something wrong."
Yao Yulu was still worried about the portrait. Seeing Lu Panxiao say this, her mind was not here.
Ji Shuidong also sat down and asked, "Aunt Lu, you might as well say it directly if you have something to do."
"It's inconvenient to say this. Why don't you ask Ji Xiunu to avoid it for the time being?" Lv Pangxiao has some concerns in his heart. After all, it is not good for one more person to know.
This aroused Yao Yulu's curiosity. She didn't know what she had to avoid. She said, "Auntie doesn't have to care. Shuidong and I are sisters. It doesn't matter if she listens to it."
"I don't know if you have read the portrait I asked you to take back to your bedroom that day?" Lv Pangxiao said with a little serious expression.
Yao Yulu and Ji Shuidong were shocked and looked at each other. Although the painting didn't look good, how could Lv Pangxiao know that they deliberately rushed here in the middle of the night to plead guilty? Yao Yulu consciously looked at it and replied, "Out of curiosity, Yulu turned over a few pages, which has nothing to do with Sister Shuidong."
Lv Pangxiao smiled and her eyebrows eased. It seemed that this woman was cautious and didn't think I was here to plead guilty? She said, "Don't worry, Yao Xiunu. I'm not complaining that you have seen the portrait this time. It's okay, but I don't know if Yao Xiunu finds that her painting is a little strange?"
After hearing this, Yao Yulu was even more surprised. Didn't Lv Panxiao also know the strangeity of her painting?
"As my aunt said, it is extremely ugly. I don't know who is on the painting, but the name of Yulu is signed on the bottom of the painting." Yao Yulu remembered the unknown woman in the painting, and she was even more angry and depressed. She felt that Lv Panxiao was not malicious and revealed it all in anger.
"Is that true? Do you know the importance of this painting?
"Yulu understands, but she doesn't know how to save it."
"Shuidong drew another picture for my sister, but I don't know how to change it."
Ji Shuidong suddenly popped up with such a sentence, and Yao Yulu stared at her fiercely. How could she tell others about such a private thing, but Lv Pangxiao didn't say anything else, but just smiled and said, "I didn't expect you two to be prepared. Don't be afraid, I won't say it. Maybe I can help you."
Yao Yulu thought about the last vase, and she always felt that Lv Pangxiao seemed to be a trustworthy person. Last time Ji Shuidong was able to sink the injustice was also thanks to Lv Pang Xiao's help, but this matter had nothing to do with her. Why did she have to take the initiative to ask for help in the middle of the middle of the night? She didn't dare to agree directly with doubt in her heart and asked, "Yulu doesn't understand. How did my aunt know about this? And why... Will you help me?"
"Yao Xiunu doesn't have to worry too much. I can't tell you about the cause, but it's definitely not harmful to you. If you believe me, you might as well give me the painting, and I will find some ways to help you change the painting."
Yao Yulu pondered and said for a moment, "Shuidong, give the painting to my aunt."
Since it was an unsolvable thing, it's better to let it go. She was afraid that this matter would be involved in Ji Shuidong, so she said, "This painting was used to practice when Shuidong was bored before, but she didn't expect it to come in handy."
Lv Panxiao took a look at the painting. She never thought that there was still such a good painter hidden in this show girl. Looking at the people in the painting, every stroke was a careful work. She would smile and said, "I understand that I'm doing this just for justice. I don't want to see anyone. It's just a storm, Yao Xiunu, please rest assured.
Lv Fanxiao took the painting and hurried out. It was very late at night. She was also afraid of being talked about by others, and she was careful all the way.
"Sister, why did Aunt Lu help us?" Ji Shuidong was very puzzled. When she saw Lv Pangxiao going far away, she pulled Yao Yulu to make a fuss.
"To be honest, Yulu doesn't know the way out of this, but she always feels that she won't hurt me. Since there's nothing we can do, it's better to be a living horse doctor." Yao Yulu said truthfully that the gangs in this harem are their own masters. She can't figure out the intention of Lv Pang Xiao's move, or if she wants to contain someone or maybe for herself?
"I hope nothing will go wrong and ruin my sister's future." Ji Shuidong said sincerely that she hoped that this sister could be selected with her and have a company in the future. She wholeheartedly wanted to repay the person who treated her so sincerely.
"In my sister's words, I just hope there will be no more problems." Yao Yulu was a little tired, and then went to bed to rest. She no longer thought about it. After all, she didn't know what to do after thinking about it. It's better to wait for the good news.
The next morning, the girls received the training as usual. Today's training is very important and they need to learn how to serve the emperor, which is probably the most important lesson.
"As the concubine of the king of a country, not only beautiful immortals can win the heart of the emperor. They are virtuous and generous, which are all necessary virtues required by a concubine." Lv Pangxiao stood in the center of the front hall and explained to the girls one by one.
"Here, what we teach is not everyone's tricks. Sometimes if we hurt people too much, I'm afraid it will hurt ourselves. There are some rules that we need to teach everyone to serve the emperor on weekdays. If the emperor reads and criticizes until late at night, and as a concubine, what should you do?
A beautiful girl answered first: "I advise the emperor to go to bed together as soon as possible."
After hearing this, other actresses and aunts laughed. Lv Fanxiao suppressed her smile and said, "Wrong, this is by no means a perfect solution. We should prepare a peaceful ginseng tea for the emperor, advise the emperor to invade, and retreat first for the sake of the emperor's smooth departure in the morning tomorrow."
"If the emperor is less unwell, what should you do?"
Another beautiful woman replied, "Massage the emperor and relieve the pressure of the emperor."
"This is wrong again. The dragon's body is big. If the emperor is not feeling well, he should quickly notify the imperial doctor for the emperor and accompany him."
This morning, it ended in the question and answer between the actress and her aunt. At lunch, Yao Yulu didn't see Lv Panxiao for a long time. She was a little anxious and didn't know what happened.
It was not until the beginning of the afternoon training that Lv Fan and Xiao came late. This afternoon's time passed by Yao Yulu. She failed to listen carefully these days of training because of this and that, but fortunately, Mama had taught her these things before entering the palace, and she was not bothered by it.
Back to bed at night, Ji Shuidong saw that Yao Yulu had been depressed, so he comforted her and said, "Sister, don't worry too much. You will definitely avoid danger."
"I borrowed my sister's good words." Yao Yulu had no intention to eat. She looked at the dinner in front of her and just ate a few bites casually. She sat at the table, embroidered a few flowers for a while, and played with jewelry for a while, and had no intention to do anything.
It was getting dark. At this time, there was a knock on the door. Yao Yulu hurriedly opened the door. As soon as she saw that it was indeed Lv Panxiao. She was a little nervous and didn't know whether it was success or failure. She hurriedly asked, "Aunt Lv, how's going?"
Lv Panxiao made a "sh" gesture and closed the door into the room.
"It has been changed. You can quickly take this waste painting and burn it." Lv Pangxiao took out a piece of folded rice paper from his arms. Yao Yulu saw it and laughed happily.
"Yulu, thank you Aunt Lu for your help. I don't know how Aunt Lu did it?"
"This is not difficult for me, and there is nothing wrong with entering and leaving the House of Internal Affairs as an aunt." Lv Pangxiao didn't seem to say a word.
"Thank you, Aunt Shuidong. You have helped our sisters so much. I really don't know how to repay you." Ji Shuidong remembered the previous vase and couldn't help sighing sincerely.
"You don't need to thank me so much. I'm just restoring the original appearance of things." Lv Pangxiao said lightly, as if it were true.
"Yulu remembers Aunt Lu's kindness in her heart."
"It's getting late. I'll leave first. I hope the two girls can stand out in the draft in a few days." Lv Pang Xiao has helped these two so much and hopes that they can stand out.
Seeing Lv Panxiao push the door and leave, Yao Yulu hurriedly found a brazier and burned the waste painting with a happy smile on her face. She was really happy. She was afraid that this incident would ruin her future and make all her previous efforts in vain.
"Sister, are you happy now?" Ji Shuidong looked at the rice paper burning into ashes in front of him and turned his head and asked.
Yao Yulu nodded and smiled: "I'm happy, or I was brushed down before I saw the emperor. Isn't it a waste of effort?"
"If the emperor met my sister, he would definitely give me some benefits. After all, it's all thanks to Shuidong." Ji Shuidong joked.
"My sister will never forget my sister. If I want to find a close person in this harem, it is very difficult. If my sister bothers me so much, I will never forget my sister's kindness." Yao Yulu said, remembering that there was no one who could talk but her mother in the house before. At this time, the sister in front of her treated her so sincerely. She was moved and grateful and didn't know where to start.
"I don't know if Shuidong's portrait can win the emperor's favor. Shuidong's appearance is mediocre, and it is very difficult to stand out in this harem." Ji Shuidong knew that she was far inferior to Yao Yulu, Song Jinzhi and others. She lamented that she could make a small promise after the draft.
"Don't say that. The talent show is not a beauty pageant. My sister is skillful and beautiful. How can the emperor not like it?" Yao Yulu stroked Ji Shuidong's hand, which seemed to be stable and from the bottom of his heart.
"Sister, I don't know what will happen if the Empress Dowager sees the portrait in a few days." Ji Shuidong is a little worried, and he hasn't calmed down these days.
"It's hard to say that the status of this woman is going to change." Before seeing the emperor's show women frame each other, they set each other up. After seeing the emperor, they are very favored, and the favored one is expected to be Ai Ai. Who knows what will happen?
The two talked. It was late at night. Yao Yulu was lying in **, but secretly expected to see the emperor again. The emperor could think of the little girl who danced for him that day.
