Madam Xie's face darkened.
"Miao Yun, don't talk nonsense!"
she reprimanded.
Parents 'orders and matchmakers' words had never been discussed by the younger generation.
Moreover, the one who had arranged the marriage was the empress! You have to marry whoever she says you want to marry!
There was no need to ask, and he could not ask too much! Otherwise, it would be rude!
Xu Miaoyun lowered her head slightly, feeling a little wronged.
She was about to get married, and it was fine if she had never seen this 'husband' before, but could she not even know who he was?
"Don't blame her. After all, it's a lifelong event. It's inevitable for the girl to be a little anxious.”
Ma Xiuying was very magnanimous and said softly,
"I've always liked to help others succeed. I don't like to force people, especially when it comes to marriage.”
"As the saying goes, men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man…Miao Yun.”
She called out.
"Empress." Xu Miaoyun raised her head slightly.
"In two days, when your father returns, the emperor and I will discuss it with your father and arrange for you to meet.”
Ma Xiuying smiled.
"When the time comes, if you really don't like it, I won't force you.”
Xu Miaoyun was shocked.
"Thank you, Empress!"
She was touched and quickly bowed.
Although she knew that she had no right to dislike the prince, the empress's words were very heartwarming.
"No need for formalities."
Ma Xiuying's eyes were gentle as she stood up and said,
"You two sisters are not bad. I hope we can become a family in the future.”
"Let's go and see how Lin 'er's drawing is. This child must have scribbled randomly. I wonder what kind of ugly appearance he drew for me.”
As she spoke, she walked towards Zhu Lin.
In fact, she had been curious for a long time, but receiving guests was a serious matter. She could not ignore them, so she could only hold back for the time being.
Now that the discussion was almost over, she naturally could not help but go and take a look.
The Empress stood up. Xu Miaoyun was about to follow her, but her mother, Madam Xie, grabbed her and stopped her.
"You…you!"
Madam Xie frowned and reprimanded softly,
"In the future, you are not allowed to be presumptuous in front of the Empress! She was the only one who asked you questions, so how could you ask her back?”
Xu Miaoyun pouted.
"The Empress didn't say anything…she's very amiable.”she muttered softly.
Madam Xie glared.
"The Empress is indeed amiable, but she is also the Empress who is the mother of the world! Even the emperor was in awe of her dignity! You little girl really don't understand, you…"
"Stop talking nonsense, do you hear me?”
Xu Miaoyun nodded obediently and followed behind her mother.
"Big Brother Zhu Lin, you drew so well!”
Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Lin's masterpiece, then at the Empress who was walking towards her, and then at the painting. She couldn't help but praise,
"She's exactly like the Empress!”
Zhu Lin put down his brush and smiled proudly.
"Of course! My standards are not for show."
he said proudly.
"Are they really identical? Let mother take a look."
Ma Xiuying smiled as she came over. She glanced sideways and her gaze fell on the painting. She could not leave it anymore.
There was a hint of surprise in her smile.
"Lin 'er, did you really draw this?"
Ma Xiuying said hurriedly,
"Yes, they really look alike! He even drew out the impatient expression on his mother's face!”
Zhu Lin rolled his eyes.
"If it wasn't drawn by me, could it be drawn by a ghost?”
He said unhappily,
"This is called realism. Not to mention the expression, even the crow's feet at the corner of your eyes can be drawn for you!”
Ma Xiuying was speechless.
After Zhu Lin said that, she did see herself in the painting. There were a few inconspicuous crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
Xu Miaoyun and Madam Xie also came over. When they saw the painting, they held their breaths.
The Empress in the painting was exactly the same as the Empress in reality!
They even had the illusion that the empress in reality had walked out of a painting…
"This kind of flaw, don't draw it on…"
Ma Xiuying said unhappily,
"Don't you know how to cover up for your mother?”
As a woman, she naturally loved beauty, and the Empress was no exception.
Time had left its mark on her face, and she would try her best to hide it. Naturally, she also hoped that her portrait would be perfect.
"Then why didn't you say so earlier? This realistic style seeks reality! When people saw the painting, it was as if they were seeing the real person!”
Zhu Lin crossed his arms and said,
"I can only do this for now. Next time when I'm free, I'll draw you a beautiful one. I guarantee that you'll be extremely beautiful!”
Only then did Ma Xiuying smile.
"Then Mother will wait."
She smiled and said,
"This painting is not bad. Mother will keep it first and show it to your father.”
"When you have time, draw him one too, and make it uglier! Only by placing the two paintings together can they bring out my beauty.”
The three daughters of the Xu family were speechless.
Since ancient times, the only person who could make the emperor set him off was this Empress Ma, right?
"Big Brother Zhu Lin, Big Brother Zhu Lin!"
Xu Miaojin tugged at Zhu Lin's sleeve and said hurriedly,
"I want it too, I want it too!"
"Draw one for me too! I want something nice!"
Madam Xie facepalmed.
How could these two daughters be more out of line than the other!
"Miao Jin, don't mess around!" She reprimanded him with her hands on her hips. "His Highness the King of Wei has just finished painting and is already tired. You can't force His Highness!”
Xu Miaojin pouted.
"This child is not forcing, this child is pleading!”she said righteously.
Madam Xie was speechless.
"Hahaha…"
Zhu Lin was amused and laughed loudly.
"Miaojin, you can let me draw for you, but you have to show me something. Otherwise, I won't be motivated.”
Xu Miaojin's eyes lit up.
"How should I express it?" Her eyes sparkled.
Zhu Lin pointed at his own face and smiled mischievously.
"Hey, big brother is tired. He needs a kiss from a beautiful little sister to regain his vitality.”
"Come on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Miaojin kissed him.
"Ouch!"
Zhu Lin touched his face and said in shock,
" Girl, you're quite fast…I didn't feel it just now. Try again. I'll feel it carefully…"
Xu Miaojin glared.
"Brother Zhu Lin is shameless!" She puffed up her cheeks and said angrily.
"Hahahaha…Not bad, not bad. Look at it, I'll draw it for you.”
Zhu Lin laughed loudly and raised his brush.
"With this expression, big brother will draw a cartoon image for you.”
Shua Shua Shua Shua.
With just a few strokes, a girl with a big head and a small body was drawn.
He purposely leaned toward the cartoon image, so he didn't pay attention to the details. Instead, he captured Xu Miaojin's expression and magnified it, even exaggerating it a little…
"Its head is so big, and its hands and feet are so small…"
Xu Miaojin looked at her limbs and muttered,
"It's not like that at all…"
As she complained, the rest of the onlookers covered their mouths and laughed.
"The ratio is not very harmonious, but Miao Jin, this is you!”
" Look at his cheeks. They're like pufferfish. Hahaha, I'm so happy…"
"Lin 'er, how did you come up with this drawing technique? It's really interesting, hehehe…"
PS: Let me tell you about the setting of this book. In history, there are three kinds of statements about the son of Empress Ma.
1. Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Di were all born to Empress Ma, but Zhu Di himself said this to show his orthodoxy. There were many doubts and mismatches, so the credibility was not high.
2. According to the records in the Taichang Temple Annals, Zhu Biao, Zhu Wei, and Zhu Wei were born to Consort Li Shu, and Zhu Di was born to Consort Wei. These two were also the sacrificial attendants of Xiaoling. Consort Li Shu was on the left, and Consort Wei was on the right. This statement had a certain degree of credibility.
3. Only Zhu Biao was the son of Empress Ma. The others were not legitimate sons.
The book's setting was based on the third explanation. Zhu Lin was also a legitimate son, so he was the second son.
In addition, this book has a certain level of emptiness, including some timeline, character appearance order, etc., which is not completely based on history. Everyone, please read it and laugh.
