Chapter 105, sour and jealous
The palace maid in front of the palace had already brought warm water and soap to clean her hands, and Wei Jiashu had to put down the charcoal in her hand and carefully wash her fingernails.
After crossing over, although Wei Jiashu does not paint often, her nails have always been trimmed short, which is already a habit in her bones.
Even if she became a concubine, she never changed.
The other concubines all wore at least half an inch of their nails and wore gorgeous red gold armor.
And she, the ten fingers scrubbed each other, and the black between the nails was also washed away, revealing the pale and slightly pink fingers.
Xuan Chengyi couldn't help but be curious: "You don't seem to have nails all along." β
Wei Jiashu took the brocade handkerchief presented by the palace maid, wiped his hands, and said, "Because I want to paint, I am not used to my nails." β
Xuan Chengyi looked at the pair of pink and white jade tender Rouyi, her hands were slender, and her hair was like a spring bud, "Actually, you look good without nails." β
Wei Jiashu smiled, and suddenly saw the time on the enamel table clock on the side, it was already afternoon.
She used the morning food to come to the Xuanzheng Palace, and in a blink of an eye, more than two hours have passed.
Xuan Chengyi retracted his gaze for a long time, he pointed to the various dim sum on the kang table on the side and said: "The new dim sum sent by the imperial dining room is quite exquisite, if you like it, use more." β
The small kang table, which is only three feet, has been fully placed, with peach blossom cake, butterfly cake, milk cake, rhombic flour cake, flower cake, pine nut chestnut cake, Yangchun white ice cream, as well as sour dried apricots and candied green plums.
Except for the two plates of preserved fruits that were too sour, Wei Jiashu liked the other snacks.
Wei Jiashu picked and ate seven or eight pieces, and drank a fragrant glutinous drink, and felt that his stomach was full and very comfortable.
Seeing that she was eating happily, Xuan Chengyi couldn't help but be very pleased.
The emperor doesn't like sweets, if he hadn't specially ordered Wei Meiren to prepare some pastries, the dining room would not have served so many delicate and delicious snacks, as for the sour apricots and green plums, the dining room pondered and sent them up.
The concubine is pregnant, whether she is acidophilic or not, she will make a little sour-like.
But Wei Jiashu didn't want to wronged his stomach.
Wei Jiashu, who was well-fed and drunk, looked at the angle of the sun and said to the emperor: "That concubine will come back tomorrow to continue painting for the emperor." β
There is already a sense of farewell in the words.
Xuan Chengyi frowned, he was going to leave so soon?
Wei Jiashu hurriedly explained in a whisper: "Concubines have the habit of taking a nap at noon. β
This is not a lie, Wei Jiashu is a lazy person, and since he is pregnant, he can naturally eat and sleep all day long.
Back in the Changqiu Palace, Wei Jiashu spread his hair in a bun, widened his dress, and got into the spacious and soft stepping bed in the Qingliang Palace, and slept beautifully.
After waking up, he set up the portrait of the dog emperor and carefully trimmed the details.
It's a pity that Mama Wen, who was sent by the emperor to take care of her pregnancy, didn't allow her to work too hard, so she only drew for half an hour, and then she had to put away the charcoal.
This will be the case every day for the days to come.
She went to the Xuanzheng Hall every morning to paint the Dog Emperor for an hour, then ate some exquisite snacks and drinks from the imperial dining room, and then painted again in the Qingliang Hall in the afternoon.
Such days are dull but fulfilling.
The emperor probably saw that she was doing her best in painting, and had already ordered someone to take the Wu family and the four princesses to Daxuan Palace for summer vacation, and at the same time asked Concubine Li to prepare for the full moon ceremony of the four princesses.
At this moment, Xia Guifei was probably angry, and Hui Jieyu was probably going to be sour when she felt it.
When the three princesses were full moon, they had never been so popular!
And Wei Jiashu seemed to have nothing to do with himself, so he still went to paint the emperor every day.
Even on the day of the full moon of the fourth princess, she first went to the Xuanzheng Hall to paint an hour painting for the emperor, and then rushed to Wu Jieyu's palace to send a congratulatory gift to the fourth princess.
Under the arrangement of Concubine Li, Wu Jieyu lived in the Mingxiu Hall not far from the Qingliang Palace, which is also a spacious palace with five rooms, which can be used to host a grand and decent full moon ceremony for the fourth prince.
Although Wei Jiashu hurried and hurried, he came late after all, so he had to hurriedly step forward and confess to Xia Guifei, Concubine Wen Li, and the main lord Wu Jieyu: "The concubine is late, and I ask the two mothers and Wu Jieyu to forgive their sins." β
Xia Guifei pestled a face, in such a day, she didn't like anyone, she snorted lightly: "Wei Meiren is pregnant, naturally more expensive than others!" β
Concubine Li hurriedly smiled and said: "Pregnant people will inevitably be tired, and it will not be strange to think that Wu Jieyu will come." β
After giving birth, Wu Jieyu has a plump body and a round face, and the complexion on her round face has not fully recovered, but her spirit is excellent, and she smiled warmly: "Sister Wei can come, I'm already very happy, sister take a seat quickly." β
The full moon ceremony of the four princesses is the same as the full moon of the third princess, which is very appropriate. The guests present, except for the concubine, were all smiling and full of auspicious words.
Even Hui Jieyu just said sourly: "The emperor really loves Wu Jieyu!" β
Wu Jieyu smiled peacefully, "The emperor is also very good to Hui Jieyu and the third princess." β
Xia Guifei, who was sitting on the rosewood armchair, pouted and sneered, "Speaking of which, the three princesses are all six months old, and the emperor hasn't given her name yet!" β
Xia Guifei's words were tantamount to a slap in the face of Hui Jieyu, this time Hui Jieyu took good care of the pregnant Ye Cainu, but she couldn't get much love from the emperor, and even the third princess was not very popular with the emperor's father.
Concubine Li frowned, she put down the red gold luanfeng wine cup in her hand, and said busily: "The emperor has been busy with government affairs recently, and there are some momentary negligence. β
Xia Guifei snorted and said: "The emperor did neglect Hui Jieyu's third princess, but he did not neglect Wu Jieyu's fourth princess, let alone Wei Meiren!" As she spoke, Xia Guifei shifted her jealous gaze to Wei Jiashu, who was eating pearl balls on the side.
"I heard in this palace that these days, Wei Meiren has to go to the Xuanzheng Hall every day, and it will be an hour or two when they go!" Xia Guifei's voice was a few degrees higher, and the sour jealousy in her words was a little deeper.
Wei Jiashu: ......
That's the bad thing about being pampered, you can't keep a low profile if you want to.
Wei Jiashu sneered and said: "The concubine misunderstood, the concubine went to the Xuanzheng Palace to paint for the emperor." β
Xia Guifei snorted coldly in her heart, painting? Those painters in the Ruyi Pavilion can't be furnished, and you have to work hard every day with a pregnant concubine?!
Xia Guifei said sourly: "Presumably, Wei Meiren's painting skills are first-class, better than those in the palace!" β
Wei Jiashu was speechless for a while, of course, her oil painting level could not be better than those Western painters, the emperor's move was ...... I really roasted her on the fire!
Concubine Li next to her said lightly: "Guifei Niangniang, let's eat quickly, the dishes are cold." "βWhat's the use of you being sour? The emperor still doesn't summon you! Since she came to the garden, even Hui Jieyu has at least been able to sleep twice, but Xia Guifei has not had one time!
This Xia Guifei is jealous all day long, where is there a concubine? Concubine Li shook her head secretly.
