Zhao Ji held Chen Jun in his arms, teased him for a while, and then asked Yang Jian to grind ink for him, so he found a pen to start to fall ink. In the past, he tried to draw landscape pictures, but they were not ideal. In front of Chen Jun, of course he had to show off his skills in his flower and bird pictures. He had been drawing flowers and birds for his life, and he was familiar with it to the extreme. After making a little layout, he first drew the outline of the mountains and forests in the distance. He was not good at drawing landscapes as his eyes, so the rocks were only used to set off and serve as the background color. Then he used a layered painting method to draw a thick maple tree, and an eagle stopped on the dead branches, and looked down fiercely at the bottom and opened his mouth and ran to the pheasant trying to rush into the grass.

Although Zhao Ji's writing was not bold, the eagle used heavy brushes mixed with ink and wash. His rigorous and solid style of painting was also vividly expressed at this time. The eagle in the upper left corner of the painting turned its head and peered, forming a diagonal line with the pheasant. The pheasant fled out of the painting, panicked, and extended the imagination to the outside of the painting. If Chen Ao was here at this time, I am afraid that the real applause would not be the eagle and the pheasant, but this maple tree. Although the eagle and the pheasant are good, the real finishing touch is on this maple tree. The thick trunk of the maple tree forms an impenetrable thickness with the huge rocks, giving people a sense of dark clouds covering the city and wanting to destroy it, setting the atmosphere of running between the eagle and the pheasant to the extreme.

Zhao Ji finished it in one go. It took only half an hour before the painting was completed. When he raised his head, he found that Chen Jun, who was holding the wet nurse on one side, had already fallen asleep.

Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing in silence, and then put down his pen and said, "This painting is for Jun'er. He is my thousand-mile horse and my goshawk. This goshawk's picture will be sent to the Painting Academy for frame later and will be hung in Jun'er's bedroom."

Yang Jian on the other side has not digested the news just now. Now that His Majesty wants to lock Chen Ao, it is really hard to guess whether it is a blessing or a disaster. I don’t know if I can overcome the difficulties this time. I was depressed. At this time, I heard Zhao Ji’s words and hurriedly said: “Yes.”

Zhao Ji continued: "Yang Jian, you advised me not to worry too much, why do you have something to worry about?"

Zhao Ji did not look up at Yang Jian, but he didn't need to look at him. Yang Jian's disobedience could be heard from his voice and tone.

Yang Jian said: "I am thinking about Taiyuan."

Zhao Ji said solemnly: "The inner palace does not interfere in politics, do you still remember this rule?"

Yang Jian was so scared that his face was pale. He immediately bowed to the ground and said, "I should die. I forgot the rules. Please forgive me."

Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said, "Get up, I don't mean to blame you. Although this is a government affairs, it is also your family matter. After all, your relationship with Shen Ao is unusual." He smiled and said, "Let's talk about it, what's wrong with Taiyuan?"

Yang Jian plucked up his courage and said, "Your Majesty, I am the most accustomed to being a man. I am the one who is so reckless this time? Who is the Duke of Zheng? The relatives of the royal family and the Duke of the Kingdom of China are also the Duke of the Kingdom. It is said that the foreign dynasty has a great influence and is rich enough to rival the country. Such people, not to mention killing, even ordinary people dare not offend them. Therefore, I think there must be some hidden information behind this, so please be aware of it."

Zhao Ji said, "I think so too."

Yang Jian said in his heart, since this is the case, why did he not wait for Chen Ao to come back and call the imperial envoy to take it back to Beijing?

Zhao Ji looked at him, as if he could see Yang Jian’s thoughts, and said lightly: “Are you thinking that I will take his lock back to Beijing and I will check it out?”

Yang Jian didn't dare to say yes, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Zhao Ji sighed and said, "I always want to give someone an explanation. How can the Duke die in vain? This time I nodded and asked Jiang Min to lock him up and take him, so I already had the intention of protecting him. Do you understand?"

Yang Jian thought to himself that Jiang Min and Chen Ao were also friends of the world, and the relationship between these two was quite good. His Majesty sent him there, but it turned out that he did it on purpose, so he felt relieved and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhao Ji said tiredly, "It's a good thing, and Chen Ao has done such a big deal again. I have already figured it out. If he really killed Duke Zheng for no reason this time, I will never let him go easily. Otherwise, people's words will be terrifying. Even if Concubine Zheng does not come to complain to me, the whole court will criticize me for being favored. The prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. I have said this principle not once or twice."

Yang Jian felt sorry for his heart and said, "Your Majesty is saying."

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "I originally wanted to return to the palace tomorrow, but now it seems that the harem is probably going to have a rupture. I can only continue to do idle clouds and wild cranes in this mountain. I don't care about the harem affairs, nor do I want to care about it."

Yang Jian said: "Your Majesty means that you want to take Chen Aosuo back to the capital and say it together?"

Zhao Ji said, "I can't see Concubine Zheng. When I see her, I feel ashamed. Okay, let's go down. I'll take a break first. When will Jun'er wake up? Then call me up." He clapped his hands, looked at the painting, and couldn't help but say, "The dark clouds are overwhelming the city. There is nothing wrong in the world, why do anyone always want to disturb my dream?"

Zhao Ji couldn't help but sigh, looking out the window with a distant look.

At this time, the harem was in a mess. It is said that after hearing the news, Concubine Zheng fainted suddenly. The imperial physicians rushed to treat him, and the palaces had to go all out to visit him. The attic was now bustling with the concubines from all palaces and courtyards gathered together, and their faces were worried at the same time, but no one could understand what they thought in their hearts.

From time to time, the imperial physicians came in and out. The third floor of the attic was divided into a private room and an outer hall. The private room was Zheng Fei's couch, and the outer hall was the person who came to visit. At this time, someone suddenly walked out of the private room. It was the imperial physician Wu, the most skilled in the imperial hospital.

As soon as Doctor Wu came out, the concubines were still sitting steadily. Without asking, Doctor Wu bowed to all the nobles in a regular manner and said, "The Concubine Zheng's body is not a big deal. She was just frightened and just recuperated. The lower official has prescribed a dose of medicine and kept it well, so that the medicine will be cured naturally."

The concubines were all in their heads, and some people gave me rewards to Doctor Wu, so Doctor Wu left with the medicine box.

However, there was no silence in the outer hall, and no one spoke. Some people looked at the concubines of Xian and Shu, some people thought that nothing had happened. Some people bought their heads and drank tea, and some people kept their eyes and thought.

If Chen Ao is here, when he comes out, he will probably have to set up a table and draw a picture of the ten beautiful pictures of the deep palace. It is really rare to have so many beautiful beauties fighting each other.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu whispered. It is well known that these two palaces have been approaching each other recently, so no one disturbed them. Some people couldn't help but think that if Concubine Zheng saw them, they would be afraid that this mental illness would be difficult to cure.

Concubine Shu seemed in great spirit these days. Concubine Shu only gave birth to an Emperor An Ning. Originally, her mother could only be honored by her son. Fortunately, An Ning was quite favored in front of the emperor, so Concubine Shu's status was very stable in the palace. Now An Ning gave birth to another prince and raised it in the palace. Your Majesty also ordered this prince to be the King of Zhennan, which was more decent than the prince. The son-in-law was also the famous King Pingxi, who was inferior to one person and above millions of people. Even if Concubine Shu could not become the queen mother in the future, she would become the second-ranked figure in this palace, and no one dared to underestimate it.

As for Concubine Xian, she felt a little depressed. Her brother was imprisoned. Fortunately, she was still a god-proud supporter. Although she didn't have to worry too much, she couldn't help but worry about her in the palace. A few days ago, the empress dowager asked her to go there and comfort her a few words. She had some intention of making decisions for her inside and outside, which made Concubine Xian relieved her.

As for other palaces and courtyards, most of them are fence-bearing. Concubine Zheng is favored and approached Concubine Zheng more. Seeing that Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu have a more decent status, they are more flattering to them. Some are just weak-hearted and will not offend anyone.

Many people already felt something was wrong with the atmosphere. At this moment, someone outside sang, "The Empress Dowager is here."

After hearing this, the concubines hurriedly went to welcome the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager had some illness a few days ago, and now she had just gotten better. She came to the hall surrounded by the concubines and greeted the eunuchs in the pavilion. The eunuchs answered one by one. The Empress Dowager smiled faintly and said, "Since you have entered the palace, you should stop the miscellaneous matters outside the palace. It is the right thing to serve Your Majesty well."

I don't know if this sentence was meant, but no one knew. The eunuch who served in the pavilion had to smile dryly and said, "What the Empress Dowager said is."

The Empress Dowager nodded, her eyes fell on the Xianfei, and said, "Chen Ao is a little out of character, it's so good. Why did this happen again? Even Houyuan was frightened, so he deserves punishment!"

Concubine Xian Yingying said, "Grandmaster calmed down." A hint of joy flashed through her eyes. The Empress Dowager said not that she deserved to die, but that she should punish. It is unknown whether the word "Punishment" was intentional or blurted out, but more or less, the Empress Dowager still had some sense of maintenance.

The Empress Dowager had come, but the Empress Dowager did not come. Many people couldn't help but feel strange. Logically, this is the etiquette in the palace. Although the Empress Dowager did not give anyone a medical treatment, it was necessary to greet him. Such a big thing had already been passed down to Jingtai Palace, so how could there be no movement? So everyone was muttering in their hearts that some people remembered some things between Concubine Zheng and the Empress Dowager not long ago.

The Empress Dowager disliked and said to Shufei: "Is Jun'er okay?"

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Your Majesty has asked someone to take it to Wansui Mountain. I want to ask too. I will send someone to take a look tomorrow."

The Empress Dowager said with a stern face: "There is such a strong wind on the mountain, don't blow it. Let's be more careful. The Ai family made a piece of clothes a few days ago and pinched the days. There are still thirteen days to be the full moon period. I'll give it to you at that time. It's just a pity..."

The Empress Dowager said halfway, but she stopped talking. Many palace concubines had different expressions, but they were listening to the conversation between the Empress Dowager and Shu Concubine. She only heard Shu Concubine say, "What a pity?"

The Empress Dowager said, "It's a pity that such a good child has a bastard father. His son was born and he didn't see him come to see him. He was just making trouble there. Today is a good thing. How can we make people feel at ease when we make this happen?"

Concubine Shu smiled embarrassedly and had to say, "Chen Ao is still young, and many things are a bit unlucky."
