peasant ugly daughter-in-law

Chapter 167
After finishing speaking, Ye Qingqing put the handkerchief in Hongxiu's hand into her hand, and stretched it in front of the three servant girls beside Tang Yu.

What was unexpected was that the three of them were silent and just lowered their heads slightly.

Ye Qingqing felt that it must be embarrassing, Tang Yu frowned slightly and hurriedly said, "Ah Qi, Ami, Xiao Shu, Princess Gu is asking you something, why are you so rude."

At this time, Ye Qingqing saw for the first time that Tang Yu had other expressions on his face besides indifference.

The palace lady named Ah Qi replied, "Thank you for the kindness of the princess, we are not hungry, the princess should eat more." This Ah Qi spoke respectfully, but his tone was completely cold.

It was only then that Ye Qingqing noticed that the three dowry girls brought by Tang Yu were not like personal maids at all, and the relationship between master and servant was like strangers.Under normal circumstances, women who enter the palace will never have the opportunity to leave the palace, so the dowry maids brought by the young ladies to the palace must be personal maids who have been by their side since childhood and can speak their own words.How could Tang Yu enter the palace with someone he didn't know well?Besides, I brought three of them.

Although Ye Qingqing and Tang Yu only spent one morning together, Tang Yu really felt very comfortable. She had an indifferent and warm aura.On the other hand, the three maids around her, although they were respectful, their aura did not match Tang Yu's at all, as if they were treating strangers.So Ye Qingqing concluded that these three people were definitely not Tang Yu's personal maids.

It was heard that Tang Yu's entry into the palace was handled by the Prince Regent himself, because the Prince Regent was all princes and had not given birth to a princess, so it had long been rumored that the Prince Regent loved his niece Tang Yu very much, and treated him like his own daughter since she was a child.Today in the main hall, Tang Yu also knew clearly that his own words were taught by the regent himself, so the rumors are so.

Since the regent loved Tang Yu so much, how could he have the heart to send her to the palace?Because the regent will definitely take action against the little emperor secretly, by then Tang Yu will have become the little emperor's concubine, and if he hurts the little emperor Tang Yu will definitely be affected.Even if Tang Yu was sacrificed for the benefit of the family, why not let Tang Yu's personal servant girl enter the palace.It's not someone who can talk to me, so what if I bring three of them?
Seeing how indifferent her maidservants were, Tang Yu had no choice but to say nicely, "I think my three maidservants must have eaten enough at noon, so the princess doesn't need to care about them, I'm afraid they will be gone soon." It's time to prepare to enter the main hall, you have to eat quickly."

So Ye Qingqing nodded, and ate all the remaining snacks openly.

When Ye Qingqing had just finished eating and there was no more incense, Aunt Hui announced that the ladies were going to enter the main hall.

The exams in the afternoon were painting and piano, and the seats were still the same as those in the morning, so Tang Yu was still next to Ye Qingqing.

After all the beautiful girls were seated, they waited for the little emperor and Tai Tuo to enter the palace.

At this time, Tang Yu turned her head to Ye Qingqing gently, and said softly, "Sister, you should get rid of distracting thoughts in the two exams in the afternoon and concentrate on the exam."

Ye Qingqing looked at Tang Yu gratefully, and nodded vigorously.

In addition to Tang Yu's help this morning, Ye Qingqing was also very grateful that Tang Yu didn't ask the reason for what happened in the morning when he was just resting.Although you can't easily trust anyone in this deep palace, Ye Qingqing will definitely remember Tang Yu's helping hand to Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing probably has a clear idea of ​​the theme of this painting.Because when Aunt Hui taught Ye Qingqing to paint in Biezhuang, she mostly asked her to copy the pictures of mandarin ducks playing in water, dragon and phoenix in harmony.So presumably the theme of painting in the afternoon must be consistent with the theme of writing in the morning.

Ye Qingqing looked at the paper, ink, pens and inkstones that the palace people had prepared for all the beautiful women in front of her, and felt troubled.Ye Qingqing guessed that most of the paintings of the women above the main hall would be the content taught by Aunt Hui, but if they all painted the same content, Ye Qingqing's painting skills would definitely not be among the best.It's not that Ye Qingqing didn't pay attention when studying, but that Ye Qingqing is really not proficient in poetry and painting. In addition, Ye Qingqing didn't receive such education when she was a child, so her foundation is weaker than ordinary ladies. Divided.

Just when Ye Qingqing was racking her brains and didn't know what to draw, the emperor and Taifu entered the main hall.The moment Ye Qingqing saw Li Rui, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She had already thought about what to draw.

The beautiful girls above the main hall stood up and saluted the emperor, and the emperor said "flat body" and all the beautiful girls sat down.

As expected, the theme of this painting is the same as the poems in the morning, which is to paint what I feel about love in my heart.Because the painting is done on the spot, the exam time this time is one hour.But for the confident Ye Qingqing, it was enough.

Ye Qingqing took a deep breath, forgot all the distracting thoughts in her mind, closed her eyes and imagined the picture she wanted to draw.After a while, Ye Qingqing began to mix the paint.

What happened in the morning was her own fault, Ye Qingqing must never make those who helped her feel sad again.

After the paint was adjusted, Ye Qingqing began to concentrate on painting.

Only half an hour later, most of the content of Ye Qingqing's painting has been completed, only the last bit of modification and inscription is complete.Ye Qingqing looked at the hourglass next to the main hall, it was still early, so she breathed a sigh of relief and twisted her neck.

But when she inadvertently glanced at the painting made by Tang Yu, she was not surprised.

Tang Yu painted two butterflies dancing among flowers.In the painting, two light yellow butterflies are light and free, dancing in a cluster of peonies.But there is absolutely nothing wrong with looking at this painting, but this time the little emperor's theme is about the feelings between men and women.The relationship between love and butterflies is the well-known story of Liang Zhu turning into a butterfly.Although the story of Liang Zhu has been circulated for so long, and people admire both Liang Zhu and their dedication to love, this is clearly a tragedy of love, and it is a very unlucky thing. How can such a work be drawn on top of the draft? , this is clearly a subject that everyone avoids.

For example, if Ye Qingqing's "National Style · Weifeng · Gangster" written in the morning can barely be called a work of a beautiful lady in the palace to wake up the little emperor, but there is no reason to justify Tang Yu's butterfly painting.

With Tang Yu's painter, not to mention mandarin ducks playing in water, even playing dragons and phoenixes should be nothing to her.But why did she choose to paint Shuangdie Xihua?

Could it be that Tang Yu doesn't want to enter the palace?
If this is the case, she can go to ask the regent. There are many women in the regent's family, and there must be someone who is more suitable for entering the palace than Tang Yu.Why did Tang Yu suffer the fate of being eliminated after participating in the draft?

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, if a woman fails to pass the draft, she must serve as a servant girl in the palace for three years before she can leave the palace.Moreover, within three years after leaving the palace, they are no longer allowed to participate in the draft process and are not allowed to add people, which adds up to a full six years.These six mothers are the most important six years in a woman's life.
