Shen Gong Ji

"Yang... Juntian?" The little emperor's voice was somewhat uncertain, and he looked down at me who hadn't had time to get up yet.

I stood up and bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty." But I was relieved that he still remembered me.

It's really a coincidence that it's better to come early than to come by coincidence, and I just met like this.This time we must seize the opportunity.I clenched my fist secretly, and secretly glanced at the noble young man next to me.

"Why are you here?" The little emperor's voice seemed a little surprised.

Before I could reply, the noble young man on the side smiled and replied, "Return to Your Majesty, a few days ago, I wanted to ask the clerk for a statue of the Great Wilderness God to put it on. Guan Meiren is busy with His Majesty's picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix. So this Yang Cairen drew a picture for my servant. I didn’t expect the painting to be very special, and my servant liked it very much, so I invited Yang Cairen to come here to describe it.”

I couldn't hear the little emperor's voice for a long time, but felt his eyes linger on me.I was a little bit flustered.

"I see." He finally said, "I didn't know you had such abilities."

I continued to maintain a humble posture, and replied, "Your Majesty laughed at the small tricks." Various thoughts turned in my mind, but I couldn't think of a way to make him pay more attention to me.Do you want to take the risk and seduce your noble son in front of him?Not to mention that I don't know how to seduce at all... The point is that after I do this, I will be killed by the nobleman before I can be favored...

We still have to hold on...to win steadily...

"Where is that painting? I'd like to see what a good painting like you, Aqi, looks like."

"Hehe, your majesty made me look like a mean person." The noble young master said, leading the little emperor to a shelf covered with red brocade in the left corner of the room.The palace attendant next to me stretched out his hand to uncover the brocade, only to see that the shelf was crystal clear, and when the sun shone in, it reflected a dazzling brilliance, creating a misty net of light between several turns, enclosing my The secondary painting looks like it is glowing.

Damn... no wonder he has to ask for paintings and display for this shelf, this shelf tm is made of crystal! ! !

It's really a decadent life of capitalism... How many people have been exploited...

The little emperor stood three or two steps in front of me, tilted his head slightly, with a naive novelty on his face, "It really is a strange painting, it looks as if you can touch the people in the painting with your hand ,alive."

"This is exactly what I think, that's why I can't help but want to meet the artist of this painting." Your son said, turning his gaze back to me.

Why is this noble son so cooperative that he brought the little emperor's attention to me... Normally, he should try his best to make the little emperor ignore me...

The little emperor also turned his attention to me.This time, I didn't have time to lower my head, and I met his gaze all at once.His black and white pupils seemed to have been washed by freshly melted snow, looking at me so cleanly, I felt my heart tremble violently.

I hurriedly lowered my head, "Young master is too famous."

"I think what Aqi said is quite right. Yang Cairen, you draw very well, and you should be rewarded. But this time I don't have anything with me, Aqi, tell me what should I reward him for?"

There is no need to reward anything, just let me meet the old patriarch!I was anxious and wanted to speak, but I couldn't find a chance.

Did this little emperor do it on purpose... He obviously wants to reward me, so he should ask me what kind of reward I want. Ask your son what he is doing!

"In my opinion, the position of Deputy Director of the Documentation Department is still vacant, why not let him take the position?"

I panicked when I heard it.This proposal seems to be a great reward. After all, the monthly salary of the deputy director is very high, and he can enter and leave the Tianxiang Hall and other departments at will, which can be regarded as improving my status as a meager talent.However, I have just entered the Documentary Department, and Guan Shangyi will definitely feel that his status is threatened if he becomes the deputy director so soon.I have expended so much effort to get close to him, not to make enemies with him...

Damn... this nobleman must have done it on purpose...

It seemed that the little emperor really started to think about it. I panicked and immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty must not!"

When I came like this, the noble son and the little emperor were stunned for a moment.It was only then that I realized that my reaction seemed a little too big, it seemed a little too bold to reject your son's "good intentions" so clearly...

It's over... This beam must be considered closed...

Damn... I really can't play with this kid who is probably in his early twenties... I am obviously older than him... Why doesn't I have such courage?

"Your servant...you mean...it's just a painting. This reward is too heavy, and I'm ashamed..." I lowered my head, not daring to look at your young master's expression.

"Well, since you don't want to be the deputy director, then I will give you the right to enter Zihuan Garden with Guan Meiren to view the scenery and paint, how about it? If you want to paint in the future, you can enter the garden with Guan Meiren at any time Come on. I really want to know what the effect will be if the scenery in this garden is painted in this way." The little emperor's voice seemed to be a little smiling.Nima, is he looking at me as a joke... How unkind...

I was so frightened that my hands and feet were cold, so I don't have the heart to pick whether this reward is good or not, so I can only kowtow and thank you quickly.

After I finished kowtowing, I heard the little emperor say, "Okay, Yang Cairen, let's go down and rest."

yeah?Is this an eviction order?

Didn't he plan to leave me alone to catch up on the past or something?

Even if he didn't see me that time before, but this time I was in front of him, why is he still like "I don't know you well"?

There was a helpless depression in my heart.But what can I say in this situation?Don't you just beg for nothing?

This is the sacred decree...

Anyway, the young master is here, so he can't say anything.Forget it.I comforted myself like this, like the two of them kowtowed again, got up and backed out of the cubicle, and then went out with my head down.

When I was stepping out, I looked back quietly, only to see that the little emperor was stretching out his hand, brushing lightly at Ouyang Qi's temples, his smile was a little gentle, it was not a young man's smile, but a smile that was stronger than anyone else's. A mature man's smile should be touching tenderness.

I don't know why my mouth feels a little bitter.I hastened to step over the threshold, and the vermilion gate immediately closed behind me.

All of a sudden, my heart suddenly felt empty.

Has the little emperor really lost interest in me?

I really don't understand, he was still like a half-grown child before he entered the palace, although he didn't see me many times, but every time he was considerate and clingy, could it be said that the emotions he showed were really okay? No, can you really become a stranger just by turning your face?

Which one is real, the one in Beichuan, or the one in the palace?

Although I didn't understand what I was depressed about, when I returned to Cuiwei Courtyard, I didn't hide my emotions much.It made Qianyi nervously follow me, always looking for a chance to ask me what happened.Wen Feng was also busy serving tea and water, with a worried expression on his face.

After dinner, the depression in my heart finally dissipated.Thinking about how stupid I am, I have been troubled for so long because of a child's liking for the new and dislike the old. How can this be what a big man should do?

Moreover, I don't like him like some concubines, so it's completely unreasonable to be so troublesome.

Force yourself to stop thinking about those messy things, and focus on the unfinished line drawings a few days ago.After painting for a while, I was really not in the mood, so I simply went to bed early and went to sleep.

Tomorrow, I have to go to the Documentation Department to further build a good relationship with Guan Shangyi...

I spent a few days with Guan Shangyi in the Documentary Department, and I found that this person is indeed a very likable person.He never put on airs to the servants below, and was very careful and thoughtful. He would remember all the little things that others told him, including the birthday of a palace servant's father, and he even prepared gifts.

Everyone in the Department of Difficulties likes him.

Probably because I helped him and he was very kind to me, I took the opportunity to ask him to learn traditional Chinese painting from him, and he readily agreed.That way I can spend more time with him.The more contacts between people, the more secrets are exchanged, the relationship will naturally harden.I believe that in time, I will be able to win his trust and get in touch with Mr. Hui further.

I learned that Guan Shangyi was originally the son of a general in the court, but he was not interested in martial arts since he was a child, and he only liked painting.Fortunately, his family was well-off, so he had many opportunities to visit famous mountains and rivers when he was young, and also met some people in the world.I found that when he told me these things, his expression was subtly different from usual.Normally, he smiles kindly and perfectly, without leaking anything, but he always lacks a bit of freshness.But when he talked about what he had seen and heard when he was playing around, his whole face was bright, and his eyes were shining with brilliance, and he was much more handsome than before.

Looks like another caged bird trapped in this palace.

Where there is coming, there will be going, and I also made up some things about living in the Wuxie tribe.Fortunately, he doesn't know much about the Wuxie people, so I can make it up as I like. I just told him some interesting stories about modern life, but he listened with great interest, laughing several times.

In addition, I found that traditional Chinese painting is very interesting. Sometimes Guan Shangyi would spend half an hour brewing a stroke, but after one stroke, one painting would be completed, which made me admire.The artistic conception pursued by traditional Chinese painting is not found in oil painting. It is a very wonderful feeling. Every time I listen to Guan Shangyi talking about it, I don’t feel sleepy all night without sleep.After I finished learning, I went back to the yard and couldn't wait to try the new painting method by myself. After several times, I forgot that I was close to people for a purpose.

Until one night Uncle Jin came to see me.

He came to remind me that there are only about ten days left before the envoy of Qi Nation enters Beijing.But I haven't started planning the Grand Picture Banquet yet.

Uncle Jin scolded me again, and asked me to figure out a solution within three days, and I must give him an explanation when he comes back three days later.It was only after he left that I thought about it. I dare to say that I have spent so much effort here because of him... What do you mean by giving him an explanation?

Immediately, I became a little self-defeating, the little emperor didn't even have a hair of interest in me, what could I do?It's useless even if I turn into a monkey on the spot.

However, when I thought that I would stay in this man's country for the rest of my life, and never see the half-revealed career lines of beauties, I decided to bite the bullet...

The next day, when I was watching Guan Shangyi's painting of a hundred birds facing a phoenix, I mentioned this to him.

"It seems that the messenger is almost here, right? Are you sure you can finish the painting?" I looked at him who was concentrating on drawing on the table.

He looked up at me and chuckled, "If I can't finish painting, I have to wash my neck and wait to be chopped off."

"Your Majesty is reluctant to chop off your head, what a fine head."

"Go! If you don't look good, I will kick you out."

I acted in panic, "Oh, Beauty Guan is going to get angry, everyone, come out and watch the spectacle!" Then he threw it over, almost throwing me all black.

I smiled and moved closer to him, pretending to be ignorant, "Xiao Guan, what is this Grand Plan Banquet like? Is there a lot of delicious food?"

"Of course there are many delicious ones, but I'm afraid you won't be in the mood to eat them then."

"Why?"

"Think about it, it's such a rare opportunity to meet Shengyan, who wants to eat?"

"Cut...Your Majesty doesn't like it. No matter how hard I try, it's useless. It's better to eat with peace of mind." I yawned and made a gesture of abandoning myself, "Look, I was thrown into the palace as soon as I entered the palace." A haunted yard, in this life, I guess there is no hope~"

After Guan Shangyi finished listening, he stopped writing, sighed softly, and glanced at me, "Don't be sad. Compared with other young masters, you are already very lucky. In this palace, you must learn to be content." .”

I saw the pity and intolerance in his eyes, and I was secretly happy.It seems that it is feasible to pretend to be pitiful.

"Yeah, I'm already content. It's just that when I think about staying so lonely in this palace for a lifetime, I feel that there is really no hope at all." I also sighed, looked down at his painting, and worked hard Some tears are brewing in the eyes, although the effect is not obvious enough, but it should be able to create a little crying effect...

He stretched out a hand and placed it gently on my shoulder, with a hint of reassurance.

I pulled out a wry smile, and looked sideways at him, "I'm fine, I figured it out a long time ago. Just listen to it."

He looked at me seriously, "Actually, getting His Majesty's attention is not necessarily a good thing. You are simple, and that kind of life may not be what you want."

Well... It seems that success is not far away.

"Shang Yi, I don't think about this for vanity." I took a step back, sat down on a chair, and frowned, "I originally entered the palace to save my clansmen, I was worried that if I kept doing this , will my people..."

Sure enough, after I finished speaking, Guan Shangyi's expression became more solemn, and a few complex emotions appeared in the depths of his eyes.

I stopped when I was ready, I stood up, smiled and said to him, "It's getting late, I should go back. Xiao Guan, don't be too busy, go back and rest early."

He smiled again and nodded at me.

I guess the Virgin Mary-like concern for the country and the people I showed at the end should have moved his heart?Hopefully, after thinking about it all night, he can choose to help me.

After all, this world is still unfamiliar to me, and the grand plan banquet is such a grand event, if there is a slight mistake, not only will the goal not be achieved, but my life may also be in danger.If Shang Yi guides me, the chances of success will be much greater.

The next day, I deliberately went to Sili early.The lights in Guan Shangyi's room were on, and he probably didn't rest all night.

The palace attendant instructed me to have a good relationship with Guan Shangyi recently, so there is no need for a special notification.I opened the door and went in, only to see him having breakfast.

"Oh, there are delicious ones! I just happen to be hungry!" I sat down opposite him without any politeness.He has long been used to it, and asked the palace servant to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"Xiaoguan, did you stay up all night?" I asked him while eating Xiaolongbao.

He nodded, "I want to finish the painting quickly so that I can relax completely."

"Then you can't work so hard. When you turn around and relax, you will easily get sick."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

We chatted a few words casually, and the meal was almost finished.The servant served hot tea, and I took a sip of it, only to feel the fragrance on my lips and teeth, which made me very uncomfortable.

"Juntian." He suddenly called me.I immediately looked up, "Huh?"

He put down the teacup, so that the palace servants don't have to wait, and just go down to eat.After everyone had left, he continued, "What you told me yesterday, I thought about it later."

I continued to play dumb, "Talk? What talk?"

"Okay, I know you're anxious. You don't have to pretend." He said with a faint smile, but it surprised me.

Could it be that he actually saw it...

Damn...then I'd be ashamed of myself...I still think I'm good at acting...

"However, what you are worried about about your people is really worth considering." He paused, then rolled his eyes at me, "If you want to win His Majesty's favor, it's not like there's no chance at all."
