The plum blossoms stand proudly in the snow, defying the frost. They are so familiar.
How could this not be familiar?
This is an imitation of his "Cold Plum Blossoms".
When Helian Qi was a prince, he did not hold an official position in the court. He was obsessed with poetry and literature, and was particularly good at painting and playing chess. He was a well-known talented prince in the capital.
One of his paintings, "Cold Plum Blossoms", was included in the "Dayan Painting Collection" published by the imperial court, and has been imitated by countless artists.
But this was the first time he had seen something so ugly being hung in the house.
"Do you like painting?" Helian Qi frowned slightly.
Ning Wanyin replied in a gentle voice, "Yes, I have studied hard at home."
"Then you have learned very poorly." Helian Qi's words were always harsh.
Ning Wanyin was neither angry nor annoyed, and nodded in agreement, "Mother also said that I don't have the talent to learn painting, but this is what Your Majesty likes, so I hope to learn a little bit. If Your Majesty doesn't like it, I won't learn it in the future."
Helian Qi was stunned.
It was normal for the concubines to please him, so he was not surprised by this answer.
With a casual glance, I saw a black and white chess game on the coffee table.
"You still like chess? Whatever I like, you like too." Helian Qi raised his eyebrows slightly.
What the superior likes, the subordinates will follow.
But this woman's behavior was so explicit that it was indeed a bit too shallow.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Ning Wanyin bowed and lowered her eyes slightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked pitiful and said the words she had prepared three years ago:
"I am pleased with your majesty. I know that there are many beautiful women in the palace, and my humble figure and appearance are not worth mentioning. I can only use external things and my humble skills to make your majesty look at me more."
The room was filled with silence.
Wang Degui was stunned. He had heard many concubines' love words in the palace, but Lady Ning said that you only wanted His Majesty to look at you more. It was really pitiful.
Love that is humble to the point of being in the dust will move those who hear it.
Ning Wanyin did not pin her hope of survival on the emperor's pity.
Convincing him of her feelings was only the first step. She used "pity" to narrow the distance between her and the emperor, and the next step was the key.
"I am stupid, but I have a sincere heart and am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty. I will do whatever Your Majesty likes. It has been like this in the past and it will be like this in the future." Ning Wanyin slowly finished the second half of the sentence and looked up at Helian Qi, sincerely and earnestly.
She is willing to be the sword in His Majesty's hand and the chess piece in his palm.
Let the emperor know that she is more useful alive than dead.
Helian Qi's eyes, like a calm lake, were rippled. For the first time, he looked at the young woman in front of him seriously...
Show loyalty to him?
Tsk, that’s interesting.
