Although Huayan listened to Caiqing read the storybook, her mind kept turning about the disaster situation in the Northland.
Cai Qing gradually realized that the Crown Princess didn't seem to be listening, she slowly stopped talking, and wanted to ask, but seeing that Huayan was frowning as if she was thinking about something, she obediently sat aside with her book in hand.
Huayan thought for a long time, then came back to her senses, and said to Caiqing, "Send someone to invite Cheng Zixiao to come to the East Palace."
Caiqing nodded, put down the notebook, and immediately found someone to give orders.
Huayan told Caiqing again, "Go get the pen and paper, I want that kind of drawing paper."
Caiqing should be, and went immediately.
Not long after, Caiqing brought a pen and paper and spread it on the table.
Hua Yan got up from the imperial concubine chair, walked to the table, picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, and began to sketch on the drawing paper.
Cai Qing stood aside, thinking that Huayan was painting, but soon found that what the princess painted was not a painting, it seemed to be a topographic map, but this topographic map is different from the topographic maps and geographical records on the market. The markings are very clear, and even the mountain roads are very detailed.
Although she had never been to the Northland, she knew the place names marked by Huayan, and knew that the Crown Princess was drawing a topographic map of the Northland. She couldn't help being amazed, the Northland seemed to be in her heart.
When Cheng Zixiao was secretly invited into the East Palace, Huayan still hadn't finished the topographic map of the Northland, and when she got the report from the deputy housekeeper, Huayan said casually, "Please come here."
Steward Fu should be, and immediately brought Cheng Zixiao under the phoenix tree.
Cheng Zixiao came from afar, and saw the magnificent poinciana with bright flowers, the wind blows, and the flowers and leaves float down. Wood complements each other.
Cheng Zixiao paused, and saw her back at the table, standing in front of the table, as if she was drawing with a brush. The sun shines through the branches and leaves of the poinciana tree, casting mottled light and shadows, and the thin light shines on her snow-like wrists. Shining white.
The emerald green bracelet on her wrist reflected fine patterns in the mottled sunlight, very beautiful.
Cheng Zixiao choked for breath inexplicably, and stopped moving forward, as if he was afraid of disturbing Huayan, he stood at a distance.
Butler Fu glanced at Cheng Zi and smiled, and said in a low voice, "The Crown Princess invites Mr. Cheng Qi to come over."
Cheng Zi smiled and collected himself, didn't speak, just stood there without moving.
Seeing this, Steward Fu stopped urging.
Hua Yan knew that Cheng Zixiao was coming, so she said without looking back, "Master Cheng Qi, come and talk."
Cheng Zi smiled and pursed the corners of his mouth, then walked to Huayan, and naturally saw the topographic map of the Northland that she was drawing on the table, his eyes showed surprise, and he said, "The topographic map of the Crown Princess It’s really unique and very rare.”
Huayan tilted her head and glanced at him with a smile, she continued to write, "You were born in the Northland and grew up in the Northland since you were young, and your business spread all over the Northland. You should be very familiar with the Northland. What do you think of my topographical map?"
Cheng Zixiao looked at her lightly smiling face, moved away without any trace, looked at the topographic map, and said calmly, "The topographic map of the princess is very well done, fine and accurate, and it is better than the topographic maps circulated in the Beidi market. More than ten times."
Huayan smiled, "I searched for medicine for my brother in the past, and traveled every inch of the mountain and every inch of land in the Northland."
Cheng Zi laughed suddenly, admiringly, "It's no wonder the princess can draw such a topographic map." After finishing speaking, his gaze fell involuntarily on the bright wrist she was drawing with a pen, seeing her slender fingers, fair hand bones, shrunken pupils, and Immediately looked away to look elsewhere.
Huayan never noticed the change in her expression, and said with a faint smile, "In your opinion, is Yuqiu County a county that will suffer from floods?"
Cheng Zixiao thought about it, and looked back at Huayan. She was still smiling lightly, making it impossible to see what was in her heart. He hesitated and said, "Although it doesn't look like a county that will be affected by floods. , but the fact is that after the flood, there is no conclusion in the world that it must be impossible.”
Huayan smiled lightly, "Your words are well-regulated, not like what you, Mr. Cheng Qi, would say."
Cheng Zixiao stopped talking.
Hua Yan finished the last stroke, put down the pen, turned around and sat back on the chaise longue, waved her hands casually, "Sit down."
Caiqing immediately moved a chair and said crisply
