Chapter 144: The Great Seal of the Sixth Palace
"Age and time are not important. When he leaves his name in history, who will care about these trivial matters?" The emperor spoke eloquently.
Jiang Ruyin nodded in response.
"In this case, the sisters who entered the palace in the first year cannot be ignored."
The emperor frowned, "Among the first year batch, except for Concubine Gong, none of them gave me peace of mind."
Jiang Ruyin laughed, "Hongning has learned from Hongxuan how to make Concubine Qian happy, but I've never seen Hongxuan make me happy."
"Hongxuan protects Hongning, and you also protect Concubine Qian. It can be seen that Concubine Qian and her son are also good people. I am just saying it wrong, okay?" The emperor smiled and patted Jiang Ruyin's hand, then turned to Su Peisheng and said:
"I'm going to see Concubine Qian tonight."
Turning around, the emperor found Jiang Ruyin pouting and raised his eyebrows.
Back to the topic, the emperor mentioned a few people.
"Fucha's character still needs to be tempered. Since she already has a title, there is no need to promote her. As for Concubine Wan, there is no need to worry about her. As for Shen,
The emperor frowned. If Shen Zishan was not useful, why would he keep her as a noble lady?
"I remember that Shen stayed in the palace to serve the Queen Mother last year, and I asked her to stay in the palace this year as well."
"Did someone enter the palace at a very young age in the first year?"
Jiang Ruyin responded softly, "It's Concubine Chun. A few days ago, Suiyuxuan was closed to the public, and Concubine Chun moved to Xianfu Palace."
The emperor smacked his lips and said, "She seems to be a lovely girl."
"Chun Chang was only fourteen when she first entered the palace, so she was naturally more lively."
"I'm already nineteen, time flies." The emperor was in a delicate mood, as he was also over forty years old.
"Give it to a noble man."
"Xinhe will be raised by Concubine Jing, and Lou will be the noble lady. If she gets pregnant again, she can raise the child herself."
Jiang Ruyin nodded and reminded:
"There are also Concubine Guo and that concubine."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and could hardly remember the two people's appearance.
"How long have they been in the palace?"
"Two years."
"constant."
Jiang Ruyin nodded, "That's all. The rest are agreed to by Concubine Qi and Guo Luoluo, who just entered the palace this year."
The emperor shook his bracelet and said, "Guarjia is cute and adorable, worthy of the name Qi. Guoluolu is gentle and docile, I am thinking of bestowing a title on her."
"Should we ask the Imperial Household Department to draft one for His Majesty? Or has His Majesty already made up his mind?"
The emperor looked into the distance and squinted at the bright sunlight.
"A face as pale as a pear blossom, a waist as slender as a willow. Quietly, delicately reflected in the water, her movements like a willow swaying in the wind."
The emperor's smile grew wider. "I'm thinking, how about giving her the character 'Ling'?"
"Beautiful appearance, smart and clever. It's a word with excellent meaning." Jiang Ruyin said.
The emperor clapped his hands and made his decision. "This year, only those who have been promoted or given titles will be sent to the Old Summer Palace. A lot has happened in the palace this year, so the others should stay here to relax and unwind."
"Of course, the master position of each palace is indispensable."
When Jiang Ruyin saw that the emperor had finished speaking, she looked at him and said, "I thought I could come to your place to be lazy, but I never thought that you would drag me to handle palace affairs."
The emperor leaned towards Jiang Ruyin and asked, "Yin'er, are you unhappy?"
Jiang Ruyin adjusted the emperor's position so that he could lie comfortably, then lowered her head to rub the emperor's face and whispered softly in his ear:
"Yin'er thinks that Silang only has Yin'er in his heart."
After saying this, she raised her head and looked at the emperor, trying to see something in his eyes.
Instead of the deep and faint light she had imagined, Jiang Ruyin only saw a pair of soft and affectionate eyes.
Pulling the beautiful woman's hand to his lips and kissing her gently, the emperor's eyes were like water.
"I have already fallen in love with Yin'er."
......
......
Looking out into the distance, the rolling green hills resemble a giant emerald dragon lying across the earth. In the sunlight, the mountains are lush and verdant, the rich green seeming to flow. At the foot of the mountain, the rippling blue lake is like a giant mirror, reflecting the light of the sky and the shadows of the clouds. A gentle breeze blows, and ripples appear on the lake surface, sparkling and dancing with golden fragments.
Shangxia Tianguang is a garden within a garden surrounded by water on all sides. The lake is vast and boundless, and the clear water extends all the way to the sky. The water and the sky seem to be merged into one, inseparable.
Across the lake, lotus leaves spread out in a blanket of blossoms, some unfurling, others curled. Pink, purple, and red lotus flowers stand gracefully amidst the green leaves. Willows sway along the shore, their slender branches drooping, gently touching the water, creating ripples.
Pavilions and towers are scattered throughout the lake in an orderly manner, their eaves and brackets appearing even more regal and elegant under the shade of green trees. The vermilion railings are reflected in the water, adding a touch of splendor and solemnity to the lakescape.
The breeze blows gently and the willow branches sway.
On the upper floor of Hanyue Tower, a young man stood tall and proud, his figure as straight as a pine tree. He wore a moon-white brocade robe embroidered with elegant bamboo patterns, a dark silk ribbon around his waist with a warm jade pendant dangling from it, and his every move revealed his grace.
His face was as white as jade, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, his eyes were starry, yet they also revealed a warm and soft light. His nose was straight, and his thin lips were vaguely showing a faint smile. His black hair was tied up with a mutton-fat jade crown. His aura was like an invisible power, and people dared not blaspheme him.
Beside him stood a woman with delicate makeup. She wore a pale purple silk dress, capped by a moon-white gauze gown as thin as a cicada's wing. The hem of her dress was embroidered with delicate ruyi patterns. A pink ribbon tied in a delicate bow was tied around her waist. Her dark hair was like clouds, half pulled into a loose bun, adorned with a mutton-fat jade hairpin. The end of the hairpin was adorned with a few pearl tassels, which swayed gently with her movements.
The woman had a pretty face, with eyebrows as dark as distant ink, eyes as clear as autumn water, a straight and beautiful nose, and lips as red as cherries without any makeup.
Not far in front of the two of them was an elegant young man in official uniform.
He picked up his pen and sketched the general clothes and appearance of the characters, then bowed to the couple.
"It has been outlined. Your Majesty, please wait for a moment."
Jiang Ruyin glanced at Fu Qiu, and Fu Qiu nodded.
Jiang Ruyin said softly, "Your Majesty has been standing for a long time. It's time for lunch."
The emperor looked at Jiang Ruyin countless times and sighed,
"After all, she is a Han Chinese woman. She looks more gentle when she wears Han Chinese clothes."
Maybe it’s because I’m full of anticipation, but I always feel that time passes very slowly.
When the finished product was presented to the emperor, he nodded and said, "This painting captures some of the artist's spirit. The artistry is quite exquisite."
Jiang Ruyin's cheeks flushed slightly at the first sight. It was simply the painter's own decision to add a touch of rosy color to Jiang Ruyin's cheeks in the painting, and the beauty's affectionate and slightly timid look in the painting was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Jiang Ruyin laughed, and the next second her eyes were filled with shyness and joy. She said softly, "The painter is indeed an extraordinary talent. He has perfectly displayed the emperor's outstanding demeanor." After that, she quietly raised her eyes and looked at the emperor.
But the emperor stared at the painting and frowned.
The painter clutched his sleeves nervously.
