Chapter 1,079 The Profoundly Metaphorical Maple Leaf Painting

Mrs. Chengenhou actually knew that her husband had a knot in his heart.

This knot is still about the Queen Mother.

Thinking back to the time when he failed to live up to expectations and could not support his sister, so that even though she was the main wife, she was suppressed by a favored woman. Every time Cheng Enhou thought about it, he felt sorry for his sister, and he wanted to grab all the red ones no matter what. When giving objects to your sister, you cannot use your strength to support her. Use these objects to reflect the dignity of the main wife.

Support your girl on a spiritual level.

Marquis Chengen always felt sorry for his sister. He had failed to live up to his expectations and had made her suffer. However, he never thought that his sister was now the Queen Mother, and the current emperor was not the Queen Mother's husband-in-law, but her biological son. Son, even the emperor has to be shorter in front of her.

There is no need to wear bright red clothes to show her dignity and dignity as the main wife.

Mrs. Chengenhou saw these things more clearly than Chengenhou, so she tried to persuade him again and again, but he was just a paranoid and stubborn person. No matter what, he thought the girl just liked her.

Since he likes it, he works hard to find these objects to make the girl happy.

He himself doesn't have much ability, but at least he won't treat the girl badly in terms of clothing.

"Our Lord Marquis feels that the Queen Mother has suffered a bit in the past!" Mrs. Chengenhou explained with a wry smile.

Shao Wanru understood, and looked at these objects helplessly, then turned to the calligraphy and paintings on the side. The purpose of her visit today was not actually the things in these brocade boxes.

Seeing her eyes turning around, Madam Chengenhou hurriedly took out a scroll of calligraphy and opened it. A scroll of landscape paintings appeared in front of her. It looked like it was an authentic work.

Mrs. Chengen Hou placed the painting in front of Shao Wanru and opened another one, a picture of fishing at night on the Hanjiang River.

After putting it down, open it again.

After opening each painting, there are various kinds of pictures. There are landscape pictures, some people pictures, some pictures of bustling cities, and some travel pictures.

Shao Wan's eyes slid over these scrolls, and finally landed on several similar scrolls.

These scrolls are basically about mother and child. Some children are playing together, some are mother and child having fun together, and some are mothers sewing new clothes for their sons.

There are all kinds of differences, but they show the same theme, mother and son are in harmony.

"These...are almost the same!" Shao Wanru's fingers slid across several pictures of mother and son playing in front of her, and she said softly.

"My father thought it would be best to prepare these pictures for the Queen Mother. My father has always wanted to find a picture that can reflect the harmony between the Holy Emperor and the Queen Mother and their children. Not only the Holy Emperor, but also the Queen Mother's children, and Father also hopes to be on it together. "Mrs. Cheng'en Hou is actually a middle-aged man, very smart.

Seeing Shao Wanru's painting sliding through his fingers, he understood it clearly and explained with a smile.

Everyone present knows the reason for this.

"Which picture does Marquis Chengen think you like the most?" Shao Wanru's eyes fell on the painting and asked softly, her long eyelashes fluttering a few times, with a bit of curiosity that suited her age.

"Father said that every one of them was good, but every one of them didn't have the feeling he imagined." Young Madam Chengenhou shook her head, "It's always not as good as he expected. I heard that my father is still asking the painters in the palace to help." He painted a picture, but after picking and choosing, nothing seemed to be the most suitable."

Regarding Chengenhou's persistence, Mrs. Chengenhou was helpless, and she was under great pressure as a young lady.

"Isn't there one that is most suitable?" Shao Wanru said pointedly, "Hasn't Marquis Chengen found one that he is satisfied with?"

She said as she casually picked up a scroll and looked at it, then put it down and picked up another one.

These words reminded Mrs. Chengenhou, and she thought for a while and said: "It's not impossible. I just got a painting. I heard our Lord Hou said that the painting was very good, but I didn't take it seriously and didn't look at it. I heard it was a maple leaf." Are they included in these paintings?"

As Marquis Chengen spoke, he also walked over and took a look, but didn't find the painting in question. He turned around and gave another instruction to the woman behind him. The woman nodded and left, and soon came in with a box in her arms.

From the outside of the box, this painting looks more exquisite than the previous one.

Opening the box, Mrs. Cheng'en Hou opened the scroll carefully and showed it to Shao Wanru. She said, "I couldn't remember this scroll before. That's how our Lord Marquis mentioned it. He also said that it wouldn't be more interesting if he didn't." This is the painting. When the time comes, I will give it to the Queen Mother in front of all the ministers, so that the Holy One can also appreciate the Queen Mother’s love for her son!”

The painting unfolds, showing a mother and three sons. The painting is vivid. One son is lying on the bed, as if he is ill. The mother is taking care of the sick eldest son. The other son is leaning on her side, as if Yiyi, looking at the eldest brother on the bed, and the other is not. The governor was playing so enthusiastically that he didn't notice what was going on with his mother, his eldest brother, and his second brother.

It was a very warm scene. Even though Shao Wanru was prepared, he didn't find anything.

"It's actually made of maple leaves. This... is so ingenious!" Princess Ruian also came over and said in surprise.

The maple leaf is used as the base, and the paste is particularly suitable. The few strokes in the blank space make the form of the mother and child more vivid. The veins of the maple leaf also reflect the ingenious conception.

"This is a really good pair, good...it's really good. Not only does it fit well, but it's also clever. It's hard to buy for money." Princess Ruian liked it more and more as she looked at it.

One mother and three sons, aren’t we talking about the Queen Mother!

The mother in the painting looks at her eldest son lovingly, and the second son who is leaning on her hand is also very attached. As for the third son, he is completely ignorant and is playing on the side.

"It's indeed good. I didn't take it seriously before, and I haven't seen it before. Our Lord Marquis is used to doing some out-of-character things. I didn't expect it to be so relevant. It's really good!" It was also the first time for Mrs. Chengen Hou to see this. Painting, a smile appeared on her face. It was rare for Marquis Chengen to give her such a long face.

Shao Wanru looked at the scroll carefully. The painting was indeed very good. Using maple leaves as the painting was also a wonderful idea. No wonder it was sent to the palace as the Queen Mother's preference.

In the presence of the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the ministers, and the officials and their families, he presented it to the Queen Mother and started it on the spot...

Imagine this scene, it is very grand and suitable for giving such a decent birthday gift. The Marquis of Chengen is not from a powerful family, but more importantly, it is the natal family of the Queen Mother. It would be too obvious to just give away priceless things. The wealth of Cheng'enhou Mansion has increased.

Only this kind of calligraphy and painting is very elegant and shows identity.

If I hadn't known a little bit about maple leaves in my previous life, I would never have thought that using maple leaves as the base and accompanying it with pen and ink would make the painting even more outstanding.

But no matter how I look at the painting, I don’t think there’s anything unusual or wrong about it.

How could such a painting make the Queen Mother sick, and how could it become the source of rebellion against King Zhou?

Holding the scroll in his hand, his long eyelashes fluttered on his face, and his eyes became more and more serene.

"Why are Zhuo Zhuo looking at this painting so enthusiastically?" Princess Ruian couldn't help laughing when she saw Shao Wanru looking at it over and over again, seemingly reluctant to let go.

"Grandma, please stop making fun of me." Shao Wanru said, reluctantly putting down the painting, saying coquettishly, and looking calmly at Yu Jie standing beside him.

Yujie understood, took a step forward, and whispered in surprise: "Why is it so similar to the painting prepared by our princess?"

Her words were low and she was talking to herself, but standing close, everyone could still hear her clearly.

"Zhuo Zhuo also prepared such a maple leaf painting?" Princess Ruian asked with a smile.

Shao Wanru nodded shyly and said with a bit of embarrassment: "It can't be compared to the one in Cheng'enhou Mansion, which I painted with maple leaves."

"That's such a coincidence. I wonder if Princess Chen can let me see it too?" Mrs. Chengenhou also became interested and asked with a smile.

"Of course you should!" Shao Wanru nodded and nodded to Yujie. When she came here before, she just wanted to see this maple leaf painting and draw her own painting from it.

When I first made such a painting, I also had this intention in mind.

Yujie turned around and went out. After a while, she took the prepared paintings from the carriage and put them in a box. She came in front of everyone, opened the box, and carefully took out the paintings inside.

When they saw the paintings inside, the eldest princess Ruian and Mrs. Chengenhou nodded repeatedly. The artistic conception was not overstated, but the painting skills were very good. The most unique thing was the craftsmanship, which is really hard to compare.

"Princess Chen is really ingenious." Mrs. Chengenhou praised her repeatedly.

The one in Chengenhou's Mansion was sold outside, but the one in Prince Chen's Mansion was made by Princess Chen herself. The difference between the two is clear, and it also shows how much you care about it when you give it to the Queen Mother. Just such a painting, In comparison, the paintings of Chengenhou Mansion are inferior.

The birthday gift given to the Empress Dowager was given in front of the emperor and the ministers, so it was naturally unique. Now that the two paintings collided, and the one from Prince Chen's Palace was more outstanding, Mrs. Chengenhou wanted to give up.

This painting is not a painting by a famous artist. Although it is very exquisite, it is better than ingenuity. Now this ingenuity is not as good as Princess Chen. It is better not to give this painting away, otherwise it will embarrass the Chengen Marquis Mansion.

It is best not to bump into something that is tricky. After bumping into it, if you win, it will be okay, but if you lose, it will naturally be bad.

"Princess Chen's paintings are very good. They were actually painted by Princess Chen herself. The Queen Mother must have liked them very much after seeing them." The young lady of the Marquis of Cheng'en also praised them repeatedly.

Shao Wanru blushed and said a few polite words, and then asked Yu Jie to put the painting away. After looking at it for a while, he thanked Mrs. Chengenhou and left.

Mrs. Chengenhou and the young lady sent them to the door together. Watching them get on the carriage and leave, Mrs. Chengenhou held the young lady's hand and returned to her yard. After sitting down, she told her confidant to go to the study. He stood guard at the door, waiting for the Marquis to come back to his house, and immediately invited him over, saying that he had something important to discuss...
