The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 211 Turn a blind eye

Since I have promised the eldest prince, I naturally have to go on this trip.

But for now, Qin Liuse still has to go back to Shu Yuexuan to prepare some paper, bamboo strips and ropes for making kites, because she wants to make koi kites, and she also needs some paint.

After returning to Shuyuexuan, Qin Liuse saw that it was almost time, so he had lunch and went straight to the eldest prince's Jinhua Palace without resting.

As expected, the eldest prince had already had lunch and did not take a nap. Instead, he moved a stool and sat by the door, looking in the direction of the gate and waiting for Qin Liuse.

When Qin Liuse walked in and saw this scene, she felt a little dazed. She had the illusion that this child was just an ordinary kid, waiting for his parents to come home.

When the eldest prince saw Qin Liuse coming, he immediately jumped up from the stool.

"Eldest Prince, has the Emperor agreed to let you make a kite?" Qin Liuse walked over and asked with a smile.

The eldest prince nodded, stood on tiptoe and looked at the basket in Qingqing's hand, saying, "Father looked at my homework and he said it's okay!"

The eldest prince was laughing happily, and Qin Liuse was immediately infected. When she came here just now, she was still worried whether she would see Emperor Yongjia here.

Now that I look at it this way, it is obvious that there isn't any, and I can't help but feel a little relieved.

In Jinhua Palace, the eldest prince is the most senior. At a young age, he already has the aura of being the boss. He called Qin Liuse, "Come to my study. There is a big table here."

Qin Liuse followed him in and saw that it was indeed a study, but the desk was custom-made according to the eldest prince's stature.

The size is the same as that for adults, but the height is shorter. It is just right for the eldest prince to stand, but it is a bit short for Qin Liuse, so he can only half-kneel.

Qin Liuse took the things from Qingqing's hand, spread out the paper, and took out the pen, ink and paint.

"Can you draw?" Qin Liuse asked.

The eldest prince thought about it and seemed to think he did and didn’t.

Qin Liuse said, "Try to draw it. If there are any incomplete parts, I will fill them in."

It would be fine if she drew it herself, but it would only be the image of the koi in her mind.

But the eldest prince is so obsessed with this koi kite, which shows that it has left a deep impression on him.

Qin Liuse didn't want to destroy other people's memories, not to mention that these were the memories of the eldest prince and his biological mother, and no one could replace them.

The eldest prince's eyes lit up, then he took the brush, dipped it in ink, and started drawing on the paper.

This small person, holding an adult-sized brush in his hand, looks a bit funny, but also a bit cute.

The eldest prince's studies include calligraphy and painting, so it's not that he can't draw.

Although the outline of the koi is a bit rough, it is not easy to draw well even for an adult, let alone a child. The finished product of the eldest prince is full of childishness.

"It's a really good painting." Qin Liuse praised.

The eldest prince actually looked a little embarrassed, "Really?" His father seldom praised him, so he felt a little embarrassed.

Qin Liuse smiled and said, "Of course."

Then Qin Liuse took over the task of adding color.

The eldest prince ran to the opposite side to look, then ran to Qin Liuse's side, and watched the koi quickly take shape under Qin Zhaoyi's pen.

"Wow! I have a koi kite again!" the eldest prince cheered.

It was as if the kite had already flown up.

The child's smile was contagious. Seeing his smile, Qin Liuse also smiled and said, "We have to wait until it is completely dry. Let's go deal with the bamboo strips first."

For a moment, Qin Liuse led the eldest prince to the other side to get bamboo sticks.

The eldest prince was anxious and just wanted to see the kite flying today. The maid in Jinhua Palace was not idle either. She took out the copper tool that was usually used to dry hair and dried the paper from a distance on the table, not daring to get too close.

It is easy to prick your hands when handling bamboo sticks, so Qin Liuse did not dare to let the eldest prince, the golden nugget of the royal family, participate.

"You are too young, let me do it." Qin Liuse said.

The eldest prince really didn't know how to do it, so he squatted on the side with his butt sticking out and watched Qin Liuse do it.

"Qin Zhaoyi, how could you do all this?" asked the eldest prince.

In his impression, the women of his father were good at nothing. They just followed his father around all day and could not do anything else.

Qin Liuse said as he polished the edge of the bamboo strip, "My mother taught me how to do this when I was a kid."

The eldest prince nodded, he felt the same way.

Soon, the bamboo strips were processed.

The painting over there is almost done.

Qin Liuse took the bamboo strips back to the study and cut the koi into shape first.

Then use bamboo sticks to mark on paper, cut them into suitable lengths with scissors, and tie them with ropes to make a bow shape.

Then paste the bamboo bow on and the kite is ready.

The eldest prince grabbed the rope and ran impatiently in the hall.

Qin Liuse was also very satisfied. Today's kite was made very well, steady, with no deviation in weight.

"Let's go to the garden and fly it!" The eldest prince grabbed the kite and couldn't let it go. He couldn't wait to see it fly.

Qin Liuse led him to the Four Seasons Garden. Today the sky was clear and there was a slight breeze, which was indeed suitable for flying kites.

The eldest prince walked and ran, but Qin Liuse had long legs, so the two of them walked to the Four Seasons Garden while talking in harmony.

There was wind everywhere and the kite flew up quickly.

The eldest prince ran around in the garden cheering, and Qin Liuse stood aside and watched him.

The eldest prince is already a big boy at this age and is a little precocious, so there is no need to worry too much about him. Just ask him to slow down occasionally and watch his feet.

At this time, in the pavilion on the rockery not far away, Concubine Xiao De and Emperor Yongjia were sitting on stone benches, looking at Qin Liuse and the eldest prince in the garden.

Concubine Xiao De was telling Emperor Yongjia about what had happened in the harem in the past few days.

As the two were talking, they heard Zhu Wanxi come over and say, "Lady Liu wants to see you."

Concubine Xiao De looked at Emperor Yongjia. Emperor Yongjia raised his hand, and Zhu Wanxi went out again to invite Liu Yiyi in.

Liu Yiyi came here specifically to look for Emperor Yongjia. She was carrying a food box and originally wanted to go to the imperial study, but when she passed by here, she saw Emperor Yongjia's entourage standing under the rockery, so she came over to ask for a meeting.

I never see it in the Imperial Study, but I see it here.

Today, Liu Yiyi was wearing a light pink palace dress, which looked even more tender than the flower.

She walked in carrying a food box, and bowed to Concubine Xiao De and Emperor Yongjia with a shy smile.

Then she smiled and said, "This pavilion is a great place to enjoy the flowers and the view. Your Majesty and Concubine De are here, so it's a good opportunity to try the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made."

As she spoke, she took out the dish from the food box and said tenderly, "I picked this osmanthus flower from the osmanthus tree in the palace last month. Your Majesty, please try it."

"Sister Defei, try it too."

Concubine Xiao De looked at Liu Yiyi and thought that her style was indeed completely different from Qin Liuse's. Liu Yiyi was not only good at acting coquettishly, but also good at being a little bit nice, which was most effective in winning men's sympathy.

As Liu Yiyi spoke, she took out two small plates, put two pieces of osmanthus cake on each, and handed them to Emperor Yongjia and Concubine Xiao De.

Concubine Xiao De picked up the small spoon, tasted it carefully, and praised it a few words. Liu Yiyi immediately acted as if she was terrified and shy.

Emperor Yongjia also ate a piece, then stood up and went back to the imperial study in front.

Liu Yiyi quickly packed up her things and handed them to Zhu Wanxi, and then followed Concubine Xiao De and Emperor Yongjia down the mountain.

The three of them walked to the other side of the garden while talking. Qin Liuse and the eldest prince were flying kites. When they turned around, they saw a group of people walking towards them.

Qin Liuse hurriedly pulled the eldest prince to salute, and Liu Yiyi and the servants also had to salute them.

After paying his respects, Emperor Yongjia spoke a few words to the eldest prince, asking him not to play for too long.

Then he led his people and walked through the garden as if he didn't see Qin Liuse.
