Chapter 48 Shuangtianting above

"Please take a look at this picture." He wears a begonia red embroidered branch peony and collar brocade palace dress, combed the ginseng bun, and the beads on her temples are burning. Her appearance was originally delicate, but now she is even more like a bloody rose, which is full of pearls and jade.

Following the direction of her finger, it is an ancient painting of the previous dynasty. The paper has appeared a faint tooth color, but there is a vast color of water in the painting. In the middle, I occasionally see Tingzhou. The clouds are drooping in the distance, and the autumn grass is covered with frost nearby. Although it is a cold day now, the Qilan Hall is as warm as spring because of the burning charcoal fire. This painting is born. Life is full of autumn.

Sitting opposite He's, the originally reserved woman holding the scroll, carefully looked at several places where the ink was transported, and looked at the seal. Her eyes lit up, and the original trace of reservedness also disappeared. Her tone was surprised: "The picture of the previous Cao family's "Shuangtianting Picture"! Earlier, my father was very infatuated with Cao Mi. His greatest wish in his life was to see the whole picture of Sanqiu. However, in his whole life, he had only seen "Danran Layer Forest Map" in the Gao family, and I didn't expect this one to be with you!"

The words were surprised, but later turned into jealousy - the former Wei Xiangzuo has been immortals for hundreds of years, among which Cao, Xu, Gao and Qu are the most famous. Except for Cao Mi, these four people are all from a family, that is, the figures of the ancestors of the three families in Yedu today, but Cao Mi is the only one who was born as a commoner and painted with one hand. The skill is known as colorless for a hundred years. Cao Mi painted nearly a hundred paintings in his life. Among them, he is the proudest and recognized as the best one is the three autumn pictures - these three autumns are not seasonal, but three pictures that are all made in autumn and depict autumn colors, that is, the "The Picture of Frosty Tianting" taken out by He and the "Dan Dyeing Layer Forest Picture" collected by the Gao family. , and there is also a picture of Guihua.

At that time, all three pictures were hidden with ten thousand gold. Except for the Gao family's grabbing the Danyan Layer Forest Map and has been well preserved so far, the other two pictures have changed. After the death of the former Wei Dynasty, the whereabouts were even more unclear, but I didn't expect that this "Picture of Frosty Tianting" was actually in the palace!

Seeing this, He smiled and said, "Are you sure this is the real thing?"

"Naturally it's true." Zhaoxun Ouyang was shocked when he heard the words, and then looked at it carefully again for a moment. He nodded affirmatively and looked unhappy. "Cao Mi's Sanqiu Tu is something his father has been chasing in his life. I have listened to them growing up since he was four years old. Although there is no such a good as Sanqiu Tu at home, Cao Mi also has several other calligraphy and paintings. How can he not even recognize his true deeds?"

Hearing that there was a trace of pain in her tone, He didn't pay attention to it. She still smiled and said, "Don't be angry. The Empress also knows that my concubine is no better than the Empress. Although she learned to recognize a few words in the boudoir, she is far worse than her. Although Tianting's picture was given by your majesty, there is no false reason, but my concubine felt that it was reassuring after reading it!"

Her words both apologized and quietly praised Ouyang. Although Ouyang's face was unhappy, she eased, but she was really reluctant to return it to her with the Picture of Shuangtianting in her hand. She said, "This painting turned out to be hidden in the palace. No wonder my father has been looking for it for many years. Even Gao and Qu have asked these people. , but they are all missing.

"As long as you like it." He Shiyan said, "My concubine was still thinking yesterday that Mrs. Gao's birthday is approaching. What should I do to celebrate? Don't blame the gentleness beside the concubine. Mrs. Gao, she said, is the mother of the Ouyang family and the same clan as the Empress Dowager Gao. Therefore, the Empress Dowager tried to protect the Ouyang family from the position of concubine Zhaoxun, and pressed Tang Longhui, who would only be spoiled by Sun Gui's concubine.

"What?" Ouyang was invited to the Qilan Hall by He today, and he probably knew what happened. Originally, he saw He take out this picture just to kill time and show off Ji Shen's favor to himself, but he didn't expect to give this painting to himself. Speaking of it, the Ouyang family has been scholarly for generations and trained Ouyang's young man's training, and his personality is very clear. Gao, if He wants to give her pearls and jade, she will certainly not accept Liancheng Meiyu, but calligraphy and painting happen to invest in her benefits, especially this "Shuangtianting Picture" is still the concern of her father's life. Although he knows that He does this naturally want something, it is really difficult to let go like this. In her heart, she was surprised and jealous - in terms of position, as soon as she entered the palace, she was Zhaoxun, or the empress dowager happily issued a decree. When the He entered the palace, she was only the lowest good man. Even if she was promoted to Rong Hua now, she was just a concubine, two levels worse than her own concubine. In terms of family background, the He family was not even comparable to the her pastoral family. , not to mention Ouyang, a scholarly family.

But such a precious picture in Ouyang's eyes, He took it out casually and gave it away!

Seeing Ouyang's face changing, He guessed her mind clearly, raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, and sighed softly, "Mother, don't be too careful! This is just a heart, and it is also a feeling of maintenance by Xie Niangniang in those years. Speaking of this painting, it hasn't been a few days since it arrived at my concubine's place. It was still appreciated by your majesty two days ago. I didn't find out here for a while. There was a lot of time in these two days before I took care of it. I recognized the picture of Shuangtianting. I thought that I didn't enter the palace, it seemed I heard that the uncle of Ouyang County has always loved Cao Mi's paintings the most, so he invited his mother to have a look. When my concubine entered the palace, she was lonely and often bullied by the Tang family. Except for the people she met next to her, there was no help, and how could she call it a pearl of dust? Moreover, the Empress also knows the details of my concubine, but she knows a few words. What does she know more than a real lady like her? It's really a grievance to put this painting in Qilan Hall!"

What He said about the maintenance was that when she entered the palace or was still a good person, she was already very favored, which greatly shook the status of Tang Longhui, the first person under Sun Gui's concubine. At that time, Tang Longhui was deeply angered. As long as she met in the palace, she would definitely pick He's right. Several times she was punished to kneel in public and talk outside. Her ancestors were just a cheap merchant. Once when Tang Longhui punished the He family, she happened to be met by the Ouyang family. The Ouyang family was not very kind, but she was one of the same concubines as the Tang family, and the position was still ranked before Longhui, but in terms of spoiling the Tang family, she had been suppressing her. The first grand concubine was deeply loved by Ji as a treasure. She was born as a maid of honor, so Ouyang looked down on Sun and Tang from the bottom of her heart. When she saw Tang punishing He, she naturally had to use this matter to suppress Tang's arrogance. She asked He to get up and go back to the palace and go back to the Empress Dowager Gao in Ganquan Palace to sue. For this reason, the empress dowager ordered the female officials around her to go to the fairy hall to reprimand severely reprimand. Tang's first time.

After this incident, He went to Deyang Palace to thank Ouyang once. At that time, she was just a good person. Although she was favored, Ouyang was single-minded to deal with Sun Gui and Tang Longhui, and did not pay much attention to her. However, the He family was certainly ancestor from business, but since this dynasty They are some small officials. Compared with the Sun family and the Tang family, the minor officials of the Tang family were still the ones who pestered Ji after the throne. Ouyang felt that He was also qualified to go to his own door, so he said a few pleasant words to send her.

Later, He's promotion to the throne became a world woman and acted wildly. Tang Longhui could no longer bully her. Instead, she gradually lost her favor. Only relying on Sun Gui's concubine, she did not immediately neglect the court. Ouyang was still happy about this, but then found that although Ji Shen no longer often went to Yuntai Palace, she did not go to the door of Deyang Palace. Most of them went to the Qilan Hall of Pingle Palace.

In this way, Ouyang naturally has no good face for He.

He had already stood in the palace. Because of Ji's deep love for her, even Sun Gui did not dare to bully her too openly. After sensing Ouyang's indifference and indifference, although she was the empress dowager's niece and did not dare to fight back as recklessly as Tang Longhui, they also lost their original closeness. The relationship is getting flat.

This time, He wanted to use her to deal with Mu Biwei and asked her not to move, but the day before yesterday, he visited Zuo Zhaoyi and asked Qu to speak. Ouyang only brought a little dissatisfaction, but he also made up his mind that he might not have to help, but at this moment, He asked her to follow her heart and sent this picture again. "The Picture of Shuangtianting", plus although He did not say it clearly, she points out that she only has time to clean up the things given by Ji Shen in the past in the past few days... Why does Ouyang not know why she has free time? Thinking that Mu's origin is not worthy of being a concubine, but one is to atone for his father and brother, and the other is that the female official is just a palace slave. Thinking of the cynicism of the people around the Tang family yesterday - this Mu entered the palace, as if it was specially to lose the face of the official eunuch girl!

Ouyang, who originally planned to stand by and watch, gradually shook.

Seeing that her eyes were stuck to the painting and refused to move away at all, He sighed softly and said, "My concubine knows that I don't know the importance. What is Mrs. Gao's identity? Not only the mother of the Empress, but also the cousin of the Empress Dowager's mother. Isn't the Ouyang family a member of Yedu? Although my concubine is a small family, because she served your majesty in the palace with a shy face and sent a small gift to congratulate her, it was Meng Lang in the end!" As he said, his eyes turned red, showing grievance.

He's appearance is beautiful and looks like a fierce beauty. Such a grievance is very different from Mu Biwei's weak state. She is strong and fragile, and what she said is extremely humble. Ouyang's is reluctant to paint. When she said this, she unconsciously raised a sense of guilt and raised her eyes. He said, "What did my sister say? Let's not say that even if your father's official position is a little lower, you are still a serious official body, and you are also the daughter of the official family! Where can those things compare with Anfu Palace and Yuntai Palace? The so-called ministers are all working for your majesty. If you are loyal, what does it matter with the level of the official position?

Hearing Ouyang's sister, He was relieved. She knew that Ouyang would definitely stand on her side next.

Almost holding an hour, Taoye, who returned to He's side to serve, quietly came in and reported, "Two ladies, Qique Palace Mu Qingyi is looking for a meeting outside the hall."
