With Wu Mei and Fan Min staying in the palace, it became more lively and Tang Yin's peaceful life was gone forever. At the start, he was still enjoying it a lot. Other than the fact that Wu Mei and Fan Min were not by his side during the morning assembly, she was surrounded by them at other times. What was even worse was that the two of them kept bickering non-stop, causing Tang Yin to be the top two.
Fortunately, Mrs Huarong Yuan Qianyi was mature and steady, and did not participate in the battle between Wu Mei and Yue Yang. Otherwise, Tang Yin would have no place to hide. In this period of time, Tang Yin had instead frequently come to Yuan Qianyi's chamber. Firstly, she had avoided Wu Mei and Fan Min; secondly, Yuan Qianyi's steadiness and consideration had made Tang Yin feel that there was something different about her.
This afternoon, Tang Yin had just eaten lunch with Wu Mei and Fan Min and used the excuse that he had to enter the toilet to sneak into Yuan Qianyi's place. Seeing Tang Yin coming over, the two palace maids guarding the door immediately greeted him. Because the female officials of the palace had already recruited all the palace maids, there were many palace maids in the various palace halls. However, Yuan Qianyi was the only one who did not ask for new palace maids, the ones waiting for her were still the four young palace maids from before.
Tang Yin recognised the two of them and asked with a smile, "Spring Fragrance, Spring Red, is Qian Yi in his room?"
"Madam should be taking a nap by now. I'll go inform them." At the same time, she turned around and was about to walk into the room.
"No need, I'll just go in directly!" Tang Yin waved goodbye to her, passed through the two girls and went inside.
He was the King, so how could the palace maids dare to stop him? However, when they saw Tang Yin casually walk in, the two palace maids became extremely nervous and clenched their fists, unable to do anything about it.
The hall in the room was empty, Tang Yin raised his gaze to look inside, only to see Yuan Qianyi sitting by the side of the table, crocheting and drawing, it was unknown what she was writing. Tang Yin was very curious, he deliberately lowered his footsteps, and walked behind Yuan Qianyi quietly, then lowered his head and closed his eyes to take a closer look.
It turned out that Yuan Qianyi was drawing on a palm-sized piece of paper. She was drawing a oriole bird chirping on a branch, and although it was only a sketch, Yuan Qianyi's drawing skills were extremely high. She was drawing very slowly and vividly, as if the sound of a bird could be heard when one looked at her.
Oh! Tang Yin took in a deep breath. He really could not see that Yuan Qianyi had this kind of ability. As he gasped in surprise, he blurted out, "Good painting!"
The sudden voice caused Yuan Qianyi to be extremely frightened, her body that was seated on the chair started to tremble, the hand that was holding the brush started to tremble violently, causing the painting that was almost completed to blossom. She instinctively turned her head and just happened to meet Tang Yin's smiling eyes. In an instant, the anger, astonishment, and astonishment on her face disappeared and were replaced with a faint smile as she asked, "When did the King arrive? This is so scary. " With that, she put down the brush and picked up the drawing of the flower, as if she wanted to throw it away.
Tang Yin anxiously stopped her, and without waiting for Yuan Qianyi to react, he had already received the map from her hands, and as he read it he was amazed: "I really never thought that your painting skills would be so high, when did you learn it?"
Looking at the map in Tang Yin's hands, Yuan Qianyi frowned slightly and said with a smile: "Great King, this is what I learned after entering the palace. Since it's boring in the palace, I will use this to pass the time."
"Yes." The inside of the palace was indeed very boring. Tang Yin had already experienced this firsthand, after becoming the king, he was far from being as free and comfortable as when he was a County Head. He looked at the sketch and said faintly, "It's a pity for this painting. If I hadn't disturbed it, Qian Yi would have finished it."
"My lord, you're being too serious. This concubine was just randomly drawing some random pictures on the spur of the moment." Yuan Qianyi replied indifferently.
Tang Yin liked Yuan Qianyi's neither arrogant nor impatient personality. It was as if no matter how amazing her abilities were, she would just treat it as a very normal thing. He returned the drawing paper back to Yuan Qianyi, and at the same time, looked at her up and down as if he didn't know her, and muttered: "Just how many things do you have that I don't know …"
His question caused Yuan Qianyi's heart to instantly leap into her throat, as if she would pop out at any time. However, seeing that Tang Yin's expression did not contain any other intention in his question, her heart slowly relaxed. She smiled and said, "No matter what kind of ability concubine has, isn't it still the King's?!"
Her casual words made Tang Yin burst out in laughter. Someone like Yuan Qianyi, the more contact he had with her, the more easily she would be trapped inside. Hearing Tang Yin's candid laughter, Yuan Qianyi's heart gradually recovered its calmness. She asked curiously: "Why has the King come to my place again today?"
Tang Yin blushed. In the past, whenever Yuan Qianyi invited him over and over again, he would push it whenever he could, and whenever he could. But now, he would be the one running over here every few days. Tang Yin laughed bitterly in his heart. He waved his hand, gesturing for Yuan Qianyi to take a seat. He stood by the side of the table and said helplessly: "I don't understand why Xiao Mei and Xiao Min are always arguing. Qian Yi, you are a woman.
Yuan Qianyi laughed and said, "Your Majesty is a mystery to us. Their quarrel was actually just to attract the King's attention. "
"Oh?" Tang Yin's eyes lit up, he walked up to Yuan Qianyi and asked: "What do you mean?"
"There are so many women around the King, and they are all peerless beauties. I think Miss Wu Mei and Miss Fan Min are all filled with uneasiness, and they are all afraid of losing the King's heart." Yuan Qianyi calmly helped Tang Yin analyze. Right now, her attitude towards Tang Yin had changed greatly, and was no longer as flirtatious and alluring as before. Furthermore, she could also tell that Tang Yin did not take that kind of attitude anymore.
Tang Yin answered thoughtfully. He was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "Perhaps what you said makes sense, but what method should I use to resolve this?"
Yuan Qianyi laughed, and then said while hesitating to speak: "Actually, the method is very simple …" She intentionally stopped halfway through her words to keep Tang Yin in suspense.
As expected, Tang Yin became interested, and asked closely: "What way?"
"Actually, Miss Wu Mei and Miss Fan Min were arguing and fighting. Their final goal was only one, and that was the throne of the Queen. As long as the King made the Queen, I think the quarrel between Miss Wu Mei and Miss Fan Min would be greatly reduced." Yuan Qianyi said with a smile.
Queen? Tang Yin immediately frowned, he knew that the Queen in his heart was still far from Shang Jing. How could he be the Queen now?
Seeing Tang Yin frown and not saying anything for a long time, Yuan Qianyi could roughly guess what he was thinking. She asked softly, "Is there no queen in the king's mind yet?"
"That's right!" Tang Yin nodded and sighed.
So Tang Yin did not plan to choose the queen from the two of them. Could it be that there were other candidates? Other than Wu Mei and Fan Min, there were no other women by Tang Yin's side. Yuan Qianyi could not figure it out, but she was clever enough to not ask, and said with a smile: "Although the King is not prepared to make a queen yet, but we should marry Miss Wu Mei and Miss Fan Min as well, and make her her wife, so that we can stabilize their hearts."
Although Yuan Qianyi was speaking up for Wu Mei and, and in truth, she was speaking up for herself as well, and although Tang Yin had promised to take her as his wife, he had not made a move for a long time.
Tang Yin didn't have any objections to what she had said. Setting Wu Mei, Fan Min and Yuan Qianyi as her wives was something he had decided long ago. He nodded and smiled, "I will consider this matter."
Yuan Qianyi did not speak anymore. She looked at Tang Yin and faintly smiled without saying a word.
Now, this elegant and indifferent Yuan Qianyi made Tang Yin feel as if she was a lot prettier than before. Looking at her beautiful face, Tang Yin unconsciously froze. Seeing him staring straight at her, Yuan Qianyi blushed and asked: "What's wrong, King?"
Tang Yin regained his senses, and hid his awkwardness with a hollow laugh. He casually said: "I see that your painting is not bad, can you draw a portrait for me?"
"Alright!" Yuan Qianyi did not even think about it, and immediately agreed, then asked: "Right now?"
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded his head.
After Yuan Qianyi left her bedroom, it was already night by the time she saw Tang Yin. He did not directly return to the main palace, but instead walked towards the study room, instructing Shangguan Yuanwu and his entourage to immediately send someone to find Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji to enter the palace.
After arriving at the study room, Tang Yin picked up the portrait Yuan Qianyi had made, and opened it up for closer inspection. Yuan Qianyi's style was not complicated, it was simple and simple.
After looking for a while, he called Brother Shangguan over and asked: "Yuanwu, Yuanbiao, what do you think of Qian Yi's drawing?"
On the other hand, Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao said in unison, "You drew very well, King." Although the two of them did not understand painting, they could still tell that the person in the portrait was extremely similar to Tang Yin, just like how a real person would.
Hearing Brother Shangguan's affirmation, Tang Yin was extremely happy, and muttered: "I didn't expect Qian Yi to be such a talented girl."
This was indeed surprising. Brother Shangguan added in his heart.
Tang Yin had been waiting in the study room for a short time, before Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji arrived one after another. Tang Yin summoned the two of them into the palace late at night. The two of them thought that something big had happened, so they rushed over without stopping at home for even a moment.
Seeing Tang Yin, the two of them bowed and greeted him, then asked: "The King summoned all of her subjects into the palace late at night, what happened?"
was surprised that the two of them were able to make it here so quickly. Seeing the sweat on both their faces, Tang Yin laughed and said: "It's not a big deal, Qiu Zhen, Yuanji, come over and sit!"
