【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 117 The Love-minded Grandma in the Weird Neighborhood 33

The news that Madam Yun had a good medicine to treat that private disease spread quietly throughout the huge capital city.

Just when Yun Xi was setting up her clinic at home, the emperor suddenly summoned her.

After rushing to the palace and paying their respects to the emperor, Yun Xi, confused, waited for his instructions.

"Can you keep a portrait of that painting you drew?"

Yun Xi was surprised and glanced at the other person. "Your Majesty, charcoal drawings don't last as long as ink drawings."

"No problem, draw a few pictures for me."

"Well, I'm afraid I need to go home and get some tools and paint."

"Zhang Deshun, you follow."

It took the two of them half an hour to go back and forth. Yun Xi set out her paints and drawing board, and began to paint a portrait of the emperor under Zhang Deshun's arrangement.

Shen Heng glanced at Yun Xi, who was sweating profusely, and continued working with his head down.

Yun Xi observed the emperor carefully for a while, then raised her hand and started drawing. The "rustling" sound was like a pleasant note, stirring the hearts of several people.

After the system came back, Yun Xi followed the video tutorial system to learn it again, and she didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Perhaps the emperor was afraid that she would not dare to look him in the eye, so he granted her special pardon and allowed her to wander around the hall. Afterwards, the emperor summoned ministers to handle official business as usual.

Since the emperor came forward, Yun Xi also gave him face and drew several pictures of the emperor in different postures, some standing with his hands behind his back, some working seriously with his head down, some drinking tea elegantly, some frowning majestically, and most importantly, some with an expressionless face, neither sad nor happy. This picture shows the emperor's most realistic facial features.

After drawing the rough outline with just a few strokes, Yun Xi used the brush to refine and color it. As she became more and more proficient in painting, the eunuch Zhang Deshun, who had been waiting on the side and was in charge of the seal, exclaimed in surprise.

Shen Heng looked up, "What?"

Zhang Deshun knew he had lost his composure and quickly knelt down to apologize, "Your Majesty, I was reckless. Please punish me."

"No problem, why are you surprised?"

Shen Heng was very tolerant towards the eunuch who held the seal.

"Mrs. Yun's paintings are truly full of charm."

Shen Heng was extremely curious. He stood up casually, stretched his hands and feet, and moved over quietly. When he saw the person on the paper, he was shocked. He had never noticed that he was so handsome.

Yun Xi, immersed in the painting, did not notice that she had removed the wrinkles around the emperor's eyes and some spots, and also performed beauty and skin smoothing treatment. How could he not be handsome!

It's obvious that when painting a portrait of the emperor, you can't just paint everything on it.

She continued painting until noon, when the emperor invited her to dine with him. "Zhang Deshun, go and invite the Empress Dowager and the Queen to come along, and ask Madam Yun to paint a few pictures for my mother and my wife as well. Don't worry, you won't be short of your reward."

Yun Xi's confused mind suddenly became clear, and she quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.

The two most noble women in Dongpu Kingdom came here together. Yun Xi secretly watched them. The Queen Mother was worthy of being the champion of the palace fight last time. There was still a hint of youthful charm on her kind face.

As for the Queen Mother, she unexpectedly had a baby face, and her chubby figure made her look particularly blessed.

"You are Madam Yun. Thank you for taking care of the Eighth Prince in the past. You have taught this child to be very well-behaved." The Queen helped Yun Xi, who was bowing, up and said kindly.

The Queen Mother nodded in agreement. "Xiao Ba is a good boy. I heard that he studies literature and martial arts very hard, and strives to catch up with his brothers."

The Queen agreed, "Indeed, the Crown Prince went to test the brothers' knowledge a few days ago, and Xiaoba has made great progress."

"That child grew up without a mother and was forced to wander around. He truly had a miserable life. Fortunately, he met Madam Yun."

The Queen Mother looked so sincere that Yun Xi almost couldn't help but smile. Was the person they were talking about the same Eighth Prince she knew?

Throwing snakes into her bed in the middle of the night, catching mice to scare her, secretly spitting into her bowl...

I can't think about it, it makes me feel sick.

There were sixty-six imperial dishes served at the dinner, including all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. The three nobles picked a few and took a bite, then ate some rice casually and stopped to drink tea and comment on the portraits. Yun Xi took a look and thought, isn't this just right?

He stuffed a large silver ingot into Zhang Deshun's pocket and asked him to pack up the bear paws stewed in milk soup, rose cakes and bird's nest soup and bring them to the children in the evening. These were all imperial meals and had never been touched by anyone.

The emperor noticed this and casually ordered, "Zhang Deshun, pack up all the dishes on the table and send them to the Yun family."

Yun Xi was overjoyed and bowed to express her gratitude.

Zhang Deshun looked at the emperor carefully. He didn't expect that the emperor was so good to Madam Yun. The imperial meals were only given to ministers during palace banquets or the New Year.

Moreover, the dishes that the Emperor had touched were all stained with the aura of the True Dragon Son of Heaven, and he had never rewarded anyone. Normally, His Majesty was frugal, and only had a few dishes at a meal, which he usually finished. It was rare that there were any leftovers today...

"In the afternoon, please draw a few more portraits of our family of three as a thank you. You draw very well." The emperor said lightly.

"Yes! Why don't you three sit together and I'll draw a group photo for you three."

Yun Xi was full and put down her bowl and chopsticks. The palace maid beside her handed her a handkerchief, which made her stunned for a moment and nodded in thanks.

"You make the arrangements."

Yun Xi asked the three of them to sit properly and draw a formal picture, and then asked them to be more intimate. "Your Majesty, you can put your hand behind the Queen's waist. Such a loving relationship between the emperor and the empress will be a story that will be praised by everyone in the future. You can also lean on the Queen Mother's shoulder. Relax a little and don't be too tense."

The queen blushed so much, they were already an old married couple.

The Empress Dowager laughed heartily, "It's been so many years since the Emperor last acted coquettishly with me that I can't even remember."

The emperor was a little embarrassed.

He stayed in the palace for three days and painted many portraits of the emperor, the empress dowager and the empress. Other members of the royal family only came once and stood together for a family portrait, including the emperor's princesses and princes, the emperor's half-brother and his wife with their children. As for the concubines and concubines, they were not qualified to be in the painting.

And the rumors outside had spread to the point that she was made a concubine and stayed in the palace.

Fortunately, she returned home on the third night, which made Yunduan feel relieved.

Yunduan seemed to have grown up a bit, and her coquettishness was accompanied by a hint of steadiness, "Mom! I miss you so much!"

"What are you worried about, little brat? The emperor is a wise ruler. What can he do to me?" Yun Xi hugged the child. "Not only did His Majesty not do anything to me, he also rewarded me with a lot of good things. He even gave me the second courtyard next to ours on the west side. It's twice as big as ours. You're so lucky, a rich second-generation."

"Hehe, mother, I will be the general in the future, and you will be the imperial consort."

"You chatterbox boy, mother has asked for mercy and brought you some snacks from the palace. You and Xiaoni can eat them. I am going to clean up the yard next door and sell medicine there from now on." Yun Xi smiled warmly.

"Great!"

The yard next door is the same length from north to south as the one we live in now, but it is wider.
