By the third month of pregnancy, the weather would also enter June. Wang Rong was even more afraid of the heat this year than usual, she was only in June and wanted to set up an ice basin, Zhu Yijun advised her, ”Endure longer, we can go to Ying Tai in July.”
”But I'm hot now.” Wang Rong He said.
”You're still leaning on me despite the heat?” Zhu Yijun asked him, as long as he reached Kunning Palace, Wang Rong He would always be leaning on him, like a huge pillow, and only by leaning on him could he feel comfortable.
”Then I won't be relying on you anymore.” Wang Rong He said.
”Screw it.” Zhu Yijun said, ”I am not afraid of the heat.”
”Your Majesty.” Wang Rong and the kang stood in front of Zhu Yijun, ”Your Majesty, look at me, am I fat?”
”Nope.” Zhu Yijun shook his head, he extended his hand and pinched Wang Rong He's cheek, ”I'm not as fat as you when you were in the palace selection.”
”It took me so much effort to thin myself to the size I was at when I got married.” ”No one would call me the Saltless Queen.”
”That might not be true. If the picture the painter gave you gets out, the people might think that I have an ugly queen.” Zhu Yijun laughed out loud when he thought of the portrait, and immediately told Zhang Cheng to find it, which also made Wang Rong smile.
”Your Majesty is looking at such a portrait of a consort being chosen?”
”If His Majesty hadn't seen me first, he wouldn't have been able to choose me.” Wang Rong asked.
”Not necessarily. Maybe they felt that it was appropriate for eunuch to select such an ugly person to enter the palace. They called you over to take a look and then saw that he wasn't that ugly, so they decided to stay.” Zhu Yijun hugged Wang Rong and said, ”If Emperor Han Yuan was a little bit curious when looking at the portrait, he wouldn't regret losing a great beauty and regret for the rest of his life.”
”If Zhao Jun only served the harem with her beauty, then history would never remember her beauty.” Wang Rong He said, ”Is there no more beautiful woman in the imperial harem of the dynasties than Zhao Jun. Why is the Starlord one of the four beauties? ”
”Beauty is a woman's weapon.” Zhu Yijun said, ”The four beauties' portraits that our sect has spread around are not that beautiful, and probably only the legends that represent us behind us give them more beauty.”
”His Majesty has kept such an ugly portrait. It can't be that he wants to make a dark history of me, right?” Wang Rong asked.
”Black history?” Zhu Yijun asked.
”It's just bad history.” Wang Rong He said, ”The later have never seen me, and can only imagine me through portraits. If I find such a portrait, then I will add that its appearance is not good, and its appearance is not bad at all.”
”And you, when the painter painted the wedding, looked much better.” Zhu Yijun said as he took out another drawing. Zhu Yijun looked at the drawing in his hands, ”Do you have to give me one each? ”Since you don't mind the trouble, bring me that case as well.”
Zhang Cheng brought over a chest made of Gold Silk Sannan Wood, which he had people unroll and display to Wang Rong one by one. This was the portrait Zhu Yijun had people draw when they were getting married. It was different from how it used to be, where one would only sit and paint for their master. His silhouette, his back, and even the clouds in front of his Jiaotai Palace, the whole picture of the wedding ceremony.
All of this was a pleasant surprise to Wang Rongsheng. ”Your Majesty.”
”Back then, when I let the painter draw, I thought that it was just for a panoramic painting. This Emperor said that I would paint more, and everyone in the Painter Guild had already started painting. The paintings are all here.” Zhu Yijun said, ”Right now, it seems like there's something different, it feels like it has returned to the day of our wedding.”
”That's the most beautiful you I've ever seen.” Zhu Yijun said, ”I don't know why you don't like to wear bright red, but you look extremely beautiful when wearing red, with a kind of awe-inspiring, sharp beauty. I have never seen anyone more beautiful than you in red. ”
”Right now, I am the only one who can wear the Great Crimson Palm in your Majesty's imperial harem.” Wang Rong smiled and said, ”Even if someone else was wearing beautiful clothes, His Majesty wouldn't be able to see them.”
”She was clearly moved to the point that her eyes turned red, yet she still said these undesirable drawings.” Zhu Yijun said.
Wang Rong He looked carefully at all the portraits and realized that all of the faces of the people were very blurry. Wang Rong He turned his head to look at Zhu Yijun and said, ”I can't see any beauty in this portrait, but the descendant will still use me as the basis. Your Majesty, I don't care, let's destroy this portrait.”
”That won't do.” Zhu Yijun said, he then gave a look for his people to roll up the portraits and put them back into the box, then carried them back to the Qianqing Palace, ”In the future, you will have to follow us to be buried together with us.”
”A hundred years from now, Your Majesty will be lying down next to him. With someone accompanying him, why would I need to draw a portrait?” Wang Rong He said, ”Then His Majesty isn't willing to destroy it, just make a note on the portrait, it's a random drawing by the painter, the empress herself doesn't look like that.”
”Isn't this like hiding something from our ears?” Zhu Yijun laughed, ”Could it be that our descendants did not know why they would stay behind even if it was just a random drawing?
”Your majesty, your majesty.” Wang Rong pleaded at Zhu Yijun, ”If Your Majesty doesn't agree, then please draw me a few more portraits, put them together and mark the number of years.”
”Doesn't that mean that there are paintings every year?” Zhu Yijun said.
”Then I will also draw His Majesty.” Wang Rong He said.
”You've only learned how to draw lotus now. If you were to paint me, what kind of demons and ghosts would you draw?” Zhu Yijun laughed and refused. ”It can be said that I've suffered and I won't do it.”
