Chapter 154: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wei Yanwan. 74
Jin Yu sat in the pavilion in the courtyard. In the past two days, apart from the empress, there was no one else around the emperor, just like in the Forbidden City.
Li Xin hurriedly walked up to her and said, "Master, I have done what you asked me to do."
Jin Yuyan was fanning herself impatiently. She was already feeling uncomfortable, and the hot weather made it even more unbearable. Li Xin took a handkerchief and wanted to wipe her dryness with concern, but Jin Yuyan blocked her with her hand.
"It's good as long as it's done. Now the only ones who can affect the emperor's mood are the empress and the heir."
Now Yu's situation is getting worse and worse. She knows from far away in the palace that the prince is not having an easy time there. She can only think of ways to climb up so that the prince can have someone to rely on.
Li Xin paused slightly, then put the handkerchief away as if nothing had happened, and picked up the fan beside her to fan herself.
"Now, those people who are like stagnant water should also move."
Wei Yanwan held Jingxuan in her arms and coaxed her, and soon the nanny beside her took her over and held her tightly.
Wei Yanwan: "This child is getting heavier. If it gets longer, I won't be able to hold him anymore."
Holding a pen in his hand, Hongli smiled and added the final stroke. He looked at the finished painting and nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the seal on the side and stamped it.
Seeing the master and servant's skillful movements, Wei Yanwan's eyelids jumped. They must have been in the past countless times. What was this...
But she didn't see when Hongli stamped the document...
Emperor Qianlong, who was known as Zhang Zong, looked at the painting he had finished, smiled and waved to Wei Yanwan, saying loudly: "Come here! Take a look at my painting."
Wei Yanwan smiled and nodded. The nurse carried Jingyu down. Wei Yanwan looked down and said encouragingly, "Yes, Your Majesty's skills are excellent."
Although people nowadays focus on freehand painting, and her face looks somewhat similar, it is not her current face.
Hongli shook his head regretfully and sighed, "I didn't ask a Western painter to come this time, but Yanwan is so beautiful that it takes more than an ordinary person to paint her. To be able to look 30% like her is already a person of extraordinary skill."
Wei Yanwan: "...Your Majesty's words make me ashamed."
She wiped his forehead with her handkerchief and said, "It's very hot outside, Your Majesty, let's go in and rest for a while."
There was ice in it, so it wasn't too hot.
Several people went out to relax together. Looking at Yongqi riding a pony in the paddock, Wei Yanwan smiled gently.
Hongli glanced at her expression from the side, feeling proud in his heart and a smug look on his face.
"Yongqi!"
Hongli called out to them in a deep voice, and the third, fourth, and fifth princes present came riding their horses together. As soon as Yongqi came over, he jumped off his horse. His movements were skillful and his posture was elegant, which showed that he had made some progress in riding.
"Your son pays respects to the Emperor Father and the Empress Mother."
Yongqi smiled and knelt down to greet them. Wei Yanwan looked at them with a little appreciation in her eyes. Hongli took Wei Yanwan's hand and said with a smile, "Get up."
Yongzhang, Yongsheng and Yongqi stood in a row in front. It must be said that they were the emperor's sons after all, who were cultivated with the utmost efforts of the great scholars and ministers in the world. They were indeed of elegant appearance and looked quite decent.
Hongli patted Yongqi and said, "Good boy, I haven't seen you for a while, and you have become so proficient in riding."
"Master Riding and Archery has taught me this. If I don't make any progress now, wouldn't I be failing Master's teachings and the expectations of the Emperor?"
Hongli nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, good boy."
Then Hongli began to watch the riding and archery skills of the third and fourth princes. Yongzhang was average, but Yongsheng was eye-catching.
Wei Yanwan knew that Yongsheng would never become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so she didn't feel wary at all when she saw how outstanding he was.
Everyone knows that even the Third Prince has a better chance of ascending to the throne than the Fourth Prince. Wei Yanwan smiled and said a few words of encouragement.
"Yongcheng is indeed good, and his riding and archery skills are amazing."
She also praised Yongzhang, then looked at Hongli and said with a smile: "I have seen a few children, but I have never seen your riding and archery skills, Your Majesty."
The implication was that he should show off his skills. Yongqi also said with a smile, "Yes! Father, the Empress has never seen you riding and shooting! Why don't you show it to the Empress, and let your son and brothers learn from you!"
"it is good!"
After Hongli agreed, Jinzhong immediately led a horse over. Hongli jumped on the horse swiftly, and Jinzhong took out a bow and arrow.
Hongli took the bow and rode his horse with one hand. He drew the bow and aimed at the target in one go. As soon as he loosened his hand, the sharp arrow broke through the target and hit the pillar behind him.
Yongqi shouted excitedly: "Father Huang is so awesome!"
Hongli's desire to perform was greatly satisfied, and he rode forward only after he had shot all the arrows in the quiver.
He looked down at Wei Yanwan, smiled and held out his hand to her. Wei Yanwan took his hand with great trust and was taken for a ride in the stable by him.
Hongli held her waist tightly and lowered his head, "Yanwan trusts me so much?"
Wei Yanwan leaned on his shoulder, smiled and nodded, saying: "In this life, I only believe in Your Majesty."
Hongli laughed twice, and the vibration of his chest conveyed his good mood to Wei Yanwan. Although the horse was moving, the movement was not large, so she would not feel too bumpy or uncomfortable.
The three children below were looking at them, Yongsheng had a complicated expression. These years, their mother was increasingly disliked by the Emperor. To be honest, her temper was becoming more and more eccentric, and he was distressed watching this.
Now looking at the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, I can't help but feel that I don't need to be so cautious in front of the Emperor.
He still remembered that when he was a child, he saw the late Queen treated the Emperor with fear and trepidation, being extremely careful and cautious. He never thought that the Emperor would like the current Empress Dowager so much.
Yongcheng looked at Yongqi beside him and said to him calmly: "The Emperor's father and the Empress are truly in love."
The teenager already knew what was going on. Yongqi's lips twitched slightly, and he turned to look at Yongcheng and said, "Fourth brother, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing his defensive look, Yongcheng felt a little hurt, but he also knew that what he said was indeed a little suspicious, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing, Fourth Brother was just sighing, Fifth Brother, don't worry."
Yongqi turned his head again and looked at his father and mother in the field without saying a word.
He always knew that his father was deeply in love with his mother, but he knew it early on because the fate of the late queen was right in front of him. He was also frightened when he saw such a friendship.
I am afraid that my father will stay away from my mother in the future and make her sad, and I am also afraid that my father will do something to hurt my mother in the future.
But after so many years, it seems that my mother doesn't particularly like my father, but my father likes my mother very much.
Yongqi felt that he seemed to be unable to understand.
