[-]. "The Painter"

He was 20 years old when Bai Qiuyue entered the palace.At that time, Bai Qiuyue was already the most famous painter in Gusu City.

He was recommended to enter the imperial city, where he met the emperor for the first time in the court hall.

Bai Qiuyue didn't have a good impression of the emperor.He is wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, his hair is tied up, and he wears a beaded crown on his head.That's what a king should be like.

What made him feel bad was that the emperor made them kneel for a long time.It wasn't until Bai Qiuyue's body trembled a little that the emperor opened his golden mouth and said to be flat.

Bai Qiuyue was finally able to stand up, and the emperor's eyes fell on his somewhat dissatisfied face.He must have seen something.Bai Qiuyue thought.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't sneer or get angry, he just asked him, are you the most famous painter in Gusu?

Bai Qiuyue said yes, Your Majesty.

The emperor then asked his name.He also answered.

Then the emperor dismissed them.

Three days later, the folk moon festival is to appreciate the moon.Naturally, the palace also held a large court banquet.Bai Qiuyue and his party were invited to paint.It is nothing more than a portrait of the emperor's concubine or a banquet of singing and dancing.

Bai Qiuyue is a conceited painter.

Therefore, in addition to the banquet portraits drawn by the painters, the emperor also received a painting by Bai Qiuyue, the miniature portrait of his most beloved and precious concubine at that time.

Bai Qiuyue drew a goose-yellow autumn moon.

Under the autumn moon is the scene of folk reunion and joy.Pedestrians on the street are like flowing clouds, and lanterns are like daytime, dotted with stars.

The emperor had never seen such a sight.

He asked Bai Qiuyue what he painted.

Bai Qiuyue said that it was the Moon Festival for ordinary people.

The emperor then looked at Bai Qiuyue.The young emperor's eyes locked on him.

That night ended with Bai Qiuyue's painting winning.As a result, he became the most prestigious painter in the palace.Many royal powers and rich people asked him to paint, but the conceited Bai Qiuyue shut the door, and got frustrated.

The son of a prince ran to make a statement to the emperor.Said that Bai Qiuyue had no one in her eyes.The emperor said that it was enough for him to have me in his eyes.The little duke who complained took a sap for this.

Later, some palace people saw His Majesty the Emperor and Bai Qiuyue walking in the courtyard together.His Majesty the Emperor smiled very gently, in contrast to Bai Qiuyue's cold face who was beside him.The palace man was so frightened that he almost threw away the palace lantern in his hand.

After the lights went out that day, Bai Qiuyue said that you should go back.

The emperor said where should I go back.

Bai Qiuyue said to go back wherever you like.

The emperor took his hand.

Bai Qiuyue said what are you doing?

The emperor didn't care, he whispered in Bai Qiuyue's ear and said to go to your place.

Bai Qiuyue was speechless.

When Bai Qiuyue entered the palace, how many princes and princesses admired his talent, and the eldest princess was one of them.The princess often came to bother her, and sometimes Bai Qiuyue was not painting, but she could have a word or two with her.Until one day, the princess stopped coming.

Then Bai Qiuyue learned that the princess was going to get married.

Because of this matter, Bai Qiuyue ignored the emperor for several days.

He fell in love with a selfish and hypocritical man.Bai Qiuyue couldn't help but sigh.He married off his daughter because of jealousy, and controlled Shen Kuoshan because of suspicion.He even planned to kill off the descendants of the Shen family.However, his emperor underestimated Shen Kuoshan's strength.It was a wolf that had been chained for a long time.

Since then, he has been entangled with the emperor until the second year of No.20 in his reign.Suddenly a great plague broke out that year.It spread rapidly from the south to the north, and within a few months, more than half of the imperial city was killed or injured.The emperor's country is half shaken in this plague.

It was at this time that Bai Qiuyue met Shen Kuoshan.Shen Kuoshan's eyes are like a wolf that is about to devour this broken dynasty.

He knew that Shen Kuoshan could do what he said, so Bai Qiuyue said, it's better to kill me.From now on, he will only be a sad emperor, you can leave here.

Shen Kuoshan said that was what he wanted.

Bai Qiuyue contracted that plague.Just after Shen Kuoshan entered the palace and before setting fire to the imperial city.Because of the contagiousness of the plague, Bai Qiuyue turned away the emperor who came.

He sealed the door with an iron lock.This day is the last day of his life.But the emperor broke in anyway.When he saw Bai Qiuyue with a swollen belly, bloody smell flashed in his eyes.

Bai Qiuyue was terrified to see him like this.He said I was going to die.You don't come in.

The emperor hugged him, Bai Qiuyue's body had no strength, and he fell into the emperor's arms.Bai Qiuyue finally touched his face and said don't cry, it's scary.

Then he felt tired, Bai Qiuyue closed her eyes in the emperor's arms.

After that, Bai Qiuyue was placed in the ice coffin by the emperor.It took him a few days to collect all of Bai Qiuyue's paintings.One of them was painted by Bai Qiuyue for him.

A drizzle, wet, joy to tears at dusk.

It was a light rainy evening many years ago, and Bai Qiuyue's clothes were wrinkled by the wind.He looked at the lake with a handsome and clean face, turned his head suddenly, slowly took his hand, and finally responded to him.
