In the quiet hall, Wu Qing's inner voice suddenly burst out.

[What the hell! What is that on the imperial concubine's hand! Is it the legendary emerald bracelet! ]

Concubine Lin raised her fair hand and asked, "You have been looking at my hand. Do you like it?"

Wu Qing coughed: "Yes."

Wu Qing: [The imperial concubine’s hands are so white. ]

"..." Concubine Lin was not angry. Instead, she took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and smiled at Wu Qing, "Stretch out your hand."

Wu Qing stretched out his left hand in a trance, mesmerized by the imperial concubine's smile.

Zijuan watched from the side, her heart pounding, fearing that the fragile jade bracelet would break in Wu Qing's hands, and she almost opened her mouth to stop it.

Is the queen crazy?

That jade bracelet is a priceless treasure, a good thing that the Queen Mother would praise whenever she saw it. Your Majesty actually wants to let Wu Da Ying, a lowly man, wear it?

Wu promised to enter the palace for a year, but she had no favors and her daily meals were bland, which made her figure as thin as a willow branch, so slender that she could be blown down by a gust of wind. Compared with the imperial concubine, her wrist was even smaller, and the bracelet slipped onto her wrist with a light touch.

Concubine Lin looked at it for a moment and said, "It's still pretty good, but a little wide."

The imperial concubine thought that it was okay to be a little thinner, and that if she took care of herself slowly in the future, she would be able to become plump and beautiful.

Wu Qing nodded and couldn't help turning his hand to observe the jade structure of the bracelet in the sunlight.

Wu Qing: [Wow! How much is this worth? Several hundred million! So beautiful!]

Concubine Lin stared at her carefree smile in silence.

She was a little dazed, as if she saw the innocent self before she entered the palace.

Zijuan looked at Wu Qing's hand swinging in the air and couldn't help scolding him, "Wu Yingda, do you know how valuable this bracelet is? You don't thank the queen for her kindness, but you still swing it around. If the bracelet breaks, ten Wu families won't be enough to compensate for it."

Wu Qing reluctantly took off the jade bracelet, thinking: [Zijuan is right. If it gets bumped, I can't afford to pay for it. I'd better return it to the owner as soon as possible.]

Concubine Lin frowned and glared at Zijuan, saying angrily, "Why are you so nosy? Wouldn't it be nice for Wu Yingda to wear this bracelet?"

Zijuan was stunned: "My lady, what are you doing...?"

Concubine Lin interrupted her impatiently: "I am not short of money, so what's wrong with giving her a broken bracelet?"

Without saying anything, she put the emerald bracelet back on Wu Qing's wrist.

Zijuan said anxiously, "My queen, last time the queen mother praised this bracelet so much, you were reluctant to give it to anyone else. Why did you give it to Wu Da Ying so generously today? If the queen mother heard about this, what would we do?"

Wu Qing: [Something that the Queen Mother also likes? Then I can’t take it. If the Queen Mother finds out, she will definitely blame the Imperial Concubine.]

Concubine Lin glanced at Zijuan coldly and said, "You are getting more and more daring now. Get out."

Zijuan's eyes turned slightly red, she sniffed, and left with a bit of grievance.

Concubine Lin turned around and saw Wu Qing’s stunned expression.

Wu Qing: [What a miserable worker. I feel for him.]

Concubine Lin raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you sympathize with her?"

Wu Qing lowered her head and replied, "I dare not."

Wu Qing: [I dare not, not that I have no intention. Zijuan’s words may be unpleasant to the ears, but speaking objectively, her starting point this time is good. Alas, the evil feudal system.]

The imperial concubine sneered.

Do you think she is cruel and ruthless? Don't you think that if she is not cruel, how can she survive in this cannibalistic harem?

Concubine Lin asked someone to bring a set of writing brushes and ink, and asked Wu Qing why she was summoned over in the afternoon.

"Don't you like drawing pig heads very much? I will give you this opportunity. From now on, you will sit here and draw one for all the concubines in the harem."

Wu Qing looked up, the astonishment in his eyes clearly visible.

All the concubines in the palace? There must be 30 or 40 of them. Draw a pig head for each one? This, this.

Concubine Lin raised her lips slightly and said calmly, "Don't want to do it? It's okay. There are not many people in Xinzheku recently. I see that Jinxiu beside you is very skillful and is very suitable for that place."

Xinzheku was the most miserable and tiring place in the palace. The palace servants sent there had to do dirty work day and night, and when they died they would be thrown into a mass grave.

If Jinxiu went there, she would be skinned alive even if she didn't die.

Wu Qing: [Damn it, Jinxiu can't go there. Ahhh, so vicious, this beautiful bad woman has successfully got hold of me! ]

Wu Qing thought about it and said happily: [Wait, this is a great opportunity! If I draw this, won’t I attract the hatred of the whole palace? ]

Wu Qing patted her chest and promised solemnly: "Don't worry, my lady, I will take care of this matter. However, I am not sure about the appearance of some concubines, so I need your help."

"Qingfang, you are good at painting, come and help Wu Daying." Concubine Lin ordered.

A pure, fragrant and blessed body should be like this.

Soon, a set of tables and chairs were placed in the center of the hall. Wu Qing sat down, picked up the brush, smiled, and prepared to work hard.

Concubine Lin was lying on a couch on the side, occasionally commenting on Wu Qing's paintings.

The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, and she looked at it and then closed her eyes.

In the first half of last night, she was awakened by Wu Qing's voice. In the second half of the night, she was confused by Doctor Guo's words. Now, as soon as she fell asleep, she fell into a dream.

Fortunately, she was not woken up by Wu Qing this time.

When Concubine Lin woke up, it was already dark and Wu Qing had completed her masterpiece.

Wu Qing held a thick piece of rice paper, placed it on the small table on the couch, and asked the imperial concubine to taste it.

Wu Qing smiled wickedly in his heart: [The Imperial Concubine will definitely be very 'surprised'. ]

Concubine Lin flipped through the pictures one by one and was very satisfied.

The Empress, Concubine Shu, Concubine Sun, Concubine Yue... except for Concubine De who was not in the palace, all of them became pig heads on paper. Wu Da Ying's painting skills were immature, but with the help of Qing Fang, he captured the characteristics of everyone and knew who the protagonist was at a glance.

Then the imperial concubine turned to the painting at the bottom.

Concubine Lin sat up straight abruptly, her face pale with fright.

"What is this!?" she screamed.

Upon hearing this, the servants came over one after another.

Concubine Lin hurriedly stopped everyone: "Don't come over!"

Wu Qing: [Is it a good painting? I understand. Hey, why are you so surprised, Imperial Concubine? You are making a fuss. ]

Concubine Lin's emotions were in turmoil. She covered her heart and asked loudly, "I'm asking you, what is this?"

Wu Qing: [It’s no wonder that the imperial concubine doesn’t understand. This is a modern painting technique, called stickman pornography. ]

Wu Qing pretended to be innocent: "My lady, this is a pornographic picture."

Concubine Lin sneered: "I am not blind. I want to ask you, who is this person?"

Wu Qing answered honestly: "It is you, my concubine."

Concubine Lin sneered again and pointed at another person: "What about this one?"

Wu Qing raised his eyes and looked at Concubine Lin timidly, and suddenly his ears turned red with shyness.

Wu Qing: [Oh, I don’t understand what your Majesty means.]
