Long Xiaonangui is the king of a country, but at this moment, he can't see the slightest majesty of an emperor on his face, only the usual elegance and calmness, if not for the bright yellow dragon robe, he who is serious about painting at the moment , looks like a humble and jade-like Young Master Moshang.
The paintbrush in his hand strokes lightly and meticulously, as if there is a picture scroll of a beautiful woman that needs to be perfectly outlined in his brush.
The process of painting went smoothly, and Long Xiaonan seemed to be immersed in it, but when he was about to finish the painting, his hand suddenly stopped, and the soft eyes staring at the woman on the scroll in front of him gradually became deep and cold .
In the next second, he took the paintbrush in his hand and slammed a negative "X" on the beautiful painting that was only a few strokes away.
not her!
This is not her!
Annoyed, Long Xiaonan tore off the picture scroll that was completely destroyed because of an "X", then crumpled it into a paper ball and threw it on the ground.
Looking around, there are already many crumpled paper balls on the ground, all of which are paintings that he is not satisfied with.
Long Xiaonan closed his eyes, suppressed the impatience in his heart, took another piece of white drawing paper, and started painting again.
Not long after, another unfinished painting was crumpled into a ball in his hands and thrown to the ground.
Repeated several times, discarded balls of paper spread almost every corner of the imperial study, Long Xiaonan's patience finally ran out, he threw away the last piece of drawing paper that he didn't draw a few strokes on, and shouted: "Come on!"
Outside the door, Chief Eunuch Li Zongguan pushed the door and entered.
Director Li didn't seem to see the discarded paper balls all over the place, but he could easily avoid those paper balls that obstructed the road, and came straight to Long Xiaonan.
"Your Majesty." Manager Li bowed and saluted.
Long Xiaonan sat back on the chair, knocked his eyelids lightly, raised his eyes and asked, "How is the preparation for the banquet going?"
Manager Li bowed and replied: "Going back to the emperor, the preparations have been completed on the side of the palace, and there is no problem on the side of the Eldest Princess, just wait for the banquet to start now."
As he spoke, Manager Li glanced calmly at the ball of paper at his feet where a woman's face could be vaguely seen, and added: "The invitations to King Qi and Princess Qi were also sent over immediately. , it should be received by now."
Long Xiaonan's gaze landed on a portrait of a woman on the table that was so blurred that she couldn't see her face clearly, and murmured: "Will she come?"
Although Long Xiaonan didn't mention his name, Manager Li knew it well, and he replied firmly, "If it was just an ordinary banquet, it would definitely not happen, but the wedding banquet of the eldest princess... as far as I know, the eldest The relationship between the princess and King Qi has always been good, so this time the eldest princess is getting married, even if the king does not see your Buddha face, the king will definitely attend the wedding banquet of the eldest princess, and of course, Princess Qi will also attend. "
Long Xiaonan didn't say anything more, he waved his hand, indicating that Director Li could step back.
Manager Li bowed: "The slave will leave."
Just when Director Li bowed his head and was about to step back, Long Xiaonan suddenly said again: "Where are you leaving?"
Long Xiaonan's questioning was endless, but Director Li was tacit: "I set off yesterday, in order to ensure that this trip is safe, this time I will send people from there, and they are all top-notch. Alright, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
The best one
It's so good that every time you go out on a mission, do people always go and never return
Long Xiaonan secretly sneered, and then said: "Let the other side keep an eye on it, even if it doesn't work in the end, don't let that sinner do bad things, and get rid of it if necessary."
"Yes." Manager Li understood.
After Manager Li withdrew, the Imperial Study Room returned to silence.
Long Xiaonan's eyes remained on the blurred scroll on the table.
I don't know if he stared at the fuzzy portrait in front of him for a long time, and Long Xiaonan's vision gradually became blurred. No matter what, he couldn't see the woman who appeared in his dreams almost every midnight in the past two or three years. Face recalled.
The picture scroll in front of him was when he and her first met, and he organized and painted it bit by bit based on the only two or three times he met her.
At that time, after the painting was completed, he really did not expect that she would have such a deep impression in his heart, so deep that every frown and smile of her was perfectly and truly presented by him in the painting.
But at this moment, Long Xiaonan couldn't understand no matter how he thought about it, it was obviously not many years ago, how could the picture scroll in front of him, which had been kept very well by him, suddenly become more and more serious in the past few days without any warning? The more blurred, until now it is completely invisible.
However, what made Long Xiaonan even more puzzled was—
Perhaps the painting will become blurred due to the polishing of time and years, but how can even his deep impression of the woman in the painting become so blurred? It is even impossible to draw her every frown and smile perfectly into the painting.
Long Xiaonan caressed the picture scroll in front of him so blurred that he couldn't even see the outlines of the characters, and a self-deprecating smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "That's right, we haven't seen each other for two years, nine months and twenty-one days. See, it's been so long that my memory of you is blurred."
-
Night, dark as ink.
In the lonely night, a black figure that almost merged with the night threw himself into the Mu residence.
Su Yin tore off the human skin mask under the veil of the black bamboo hat, and changed into a black dress before lighting the candles in the dark room.
The candlelight illuminated the whole room, and one could vaguely see the hazy and charming face under the veil of the bamboo hat that Su Yin did not rush to take off.
Su Yin blew out the torch in his hand, his eyes flickered darkly: "Come out."
With her surprisingly calm voice, the door of the room opened suddenly.
It was pitch black outside the door, and it was so quiet that there was no sign of trouble, as if there was no one at all.
However, the air was quiet for less than three seconds, and a red figure appeared outside the door as if teleporting through space.
Su Yin squinted her eyes.
When she saw the face of the visitor, she was stunned almost imperceptibly, and then she sneered slightly: "Who am I? It turns out that you are the defeated one, oh no, now you should be called a turtle. Why is it appropriate? You fled in that battle back then, and you still have the guts to show up today?"
Being ridiculed as soon as he came out, it is impossible for anyone to have a good temper, not to mention that the person being ridiculed is none other than Li Zhan, who has always had a bad temper.
Li Zhan was still wearing a floor-length red robe, and the candlelight shining from the room made the femininity around him even more profound.
He walked towards the room quietly, but did not step into the room. He just leaned lazily against the door frame with frivolous eyes: "Crazy woman, you still dare to mention the events of the past. If you hadn't played tricks behind your back, Do you think you can beat me?"
Su Yin sneered disapprovingly: "Conspiracies and tricks are also a kind of strength, and a defeated opponent is a defeated opponent. Since you were inferior to others and became a coward, why are you so brave now?"
"It's true." Li Zhan scanned the surrounding environment left and right with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, and there was a half-smile in his eyes: "I don't know who has an unyielding desire to linger on, chasing The man has been chasing all over the world, but he still can't love him. The poor man can only live like a parasite in this desolate mansion... "
In the end, Li Zhan turned his eyes back to Su Yin, as if he didn't see her face that was almost hideous under the veil of the bamboo hat, and asked with a smile: "Why? Jun Lintian's old love is still refusing to answer You?"
The so-called murder.
Li Zhan's last blow undoubtedly killed Su Yin's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
The pain deep in her heart was poked again and again, and Su Yin's usual calm tone no longer existed, replaced by an extremely sharp and sharp voice: "Shut up!"
Li Zhan shrugged his shoulders, and continued to add fuel and vinegar: "Isn't it good to be a good person? If you have to be a beast that sprays poisonous juice from time to time, it's no wonder that you chased Jun Lin, the sky is poor, and Bi Luo is almost in hell, and he still ignores you. .”
Good words are warm in three winters, and bad words are cold in June.
Li Zhan's sarcasm, which is neither warm nor cold, immediately defeated Su Yin's calm and calm pretense, and there were strange streamers of light like strands of silk glowing around her, making her whole person look gloomy.
Obviously, Su Yin is now on the verge of madness, as long as Li Zhan stirs up the flames a little, she will definitely explode.
However, Li Zhan did not come here today to anger Su Yin, he came with another purpose.
As for Li Zhan's purpose, after Su Yin changed his mind, he suddenly understood.
Guessing why Li Zhan came here based on the words just now, Su Yin suddenly laughed back in anger: "I said you have been timid for more than ten years, why did you suddenly dare to show up? It turned out that it was because of that little bastard Mu Ziling. "
People with a bad temper like Li Zhan usually have another disgusting personality hidden, that is, protecting their weaknesses.
And if he can protect his weaknesses, there are only those two little brats surnamed Mu in the world.
So at this moment when he heard Su Yin say his little girl, Li Zhan, who originally wanted to be merciful, couldn't bear it anymore.
I saw him change his posture leaning against the door frame, and then put his arms around his chest, as if he was recalling some unsightly past events, with a look of disdain: "Su Yin, you forgot that when you were in the ancient domain, Why are you sticking upside down and stripping off in front of Jun Lintian, don't you even bother to be looked at by him... In terms of lowliness, you are the originator, who dares to compare with you?"
Su Yin was full of treachery, and roared angrily: "Enough! Shut up!"
Li Zhan stood up straight, and snorted coldly: "Crazy woman, before in the Central Prosperity, you had someone give my little girl the Shadowless Needle and you still haven't settled with you, but now you're still asking the old man Long Snake to help you!" Old cancer, what do you want to do?!"
The bamboo hat and veil that Su Yin wore on her head had been shattered by the treachery overflowing from her at some point, revealing her true face.
I saw that her originally charming and beautiful face had become distorted and hideous at this moment.
Su Yin was not at all curious about how Li Zhan knew about the old man Long Snake. Instead, after hearing what he said, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth: "You think I have tried everything possible to make Old Man Long Snake You are invited here, what do you want to do?"
