Chapter 134: Natural Incompatibility
Lan Qingwu has become obsessed with painting again in recent days.
That day, Lan Qingwu took Ruhan and Ruping to a lotus pond.
The lotus flowers in late summer bloom particularly happily.
The lotus flowers, nestled closely against the round green lotus leaves, appear even more graceful and beautiful under the gentle sunset light!
Ruping arranged the painting supplies, and Lan Qingwu's wide sleeves were also rolled up by Ruhan.
Lan Qingwu began to paint carefully.
The beautiful lotus flowers in the pond gradually appeared under Lan Qingwu's brush. Some were in bud, some were fully opened... Ruhan and Ruping couldn't take their eyes off them. They were so beautiful!
As the painting neared completion, Ruhan and Ruping both felt a surge of anticipation. Such a beautiful scene, waiting for it to be finished...
Suddenly, there was a loud "plop" sound not far away, accompanied by the sound of breaking porcelain. Lan Qingwu was startled and his hand trembled. The brush in his hand drew a large blob on the drawing paper. He spent most of the day painting, but the whole painting was ruined!
Lan Qingwu was slightly frightened. She tried her best to calm herself down and looked towards the place where the sound came from. She saw a woman in palace attire who had fallen down beside the lotus pond not far away. Lan Qingwu signaled Ruping to go and see what was going on.
Ruping walked forward with regret in her heart.
Not long after, Ru Ping returned to report, "My Lord, it's... the former Shen Gong Ren who lived in Chuxiu Palace. The Empress Dowager has given her the title of Shen Cai Nu. Your Majesty summoned her to the bedchamber a few days ago. Today, while admiring the lotus flowers, she accidentally fell. I asked about it, and it's nothing serious."
Lan Qingwu nodded, looked at Shen Cainv who had just stood up, and said in a light voice: "It's good that you are okay. Let's collect the things and go back to the palace."
After returning to the palace, Lan Qingwu looked at the painting and felt a pity. It was only missing the last few strokes. It was so...
Ruhan and Ruping were talking in whispers. Ruhan said, "That Shen Cainu today always looked familiar to me. Who is she?"
Ru Ping also frowned, she felt the same way, and suddenly her heart trembled: "There's something about Shen Cainu's features... like the master's! If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have noticed, especially that aura, there's a bit of a resemblance!"
Emperor Shenwu arrived at Suowu Palace later and saw the destroyed painting at a glance.
The Emperor of God Wu raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly and looked at Lan Qingwu. Lan Qingwu smiled slightly: "It's my fault that I didn't draw it well this time."
"What's going on?" Emperor Shenwu immediately guessed what was going on.
"It was just an accident."
Seeing that Lan Qingwu didn't want to say anything more, Emperor Shenwu reached out and embraced her: "Well, as long as you're okay!"
Lan Qingwu felt warm in his heart and hugged Emperor Shenwu back.
On the second day, Lan Qingwu went to the Goldfish Pavilion to feed the fish.
Lan Qingwu lay on the railing, watching the fish swimming around with a dazed look in his eyes.
"Shen Cainv!" Ruping called out softly.
Lan Qingwu came back to his senses and looked at the person who came.
Shen Cainu bowed slightly and said, "I, the concubine Shen Cainu, pay my respects to Her Majesty Yipin. I frightened Her Majesty yesterday, and I have come to apologize to Her Majesty."
Lan Qingwu slightly turned sideways, revealing some skin on her arm.
Shen Cainu's eyes swept across the purple spots on the snow-white skin, and her heart couldn't help but feel sad. It seemed that His Majesty really doted on this Concubine Yi, and her title "Yi" was also very unique.
"No need to be polite or apologize, it was just an accident."
Shen Cainu paused slightly, "Yes, Concubine Yi."
There was a stranger here, and Lan Qingwu was about to get up and leave. As she stood up, a pungent fragrance overbearingly penetrated her nostrils.
Lan Qingwu suddenly felt dizzy and her eyes went dark before she lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she was already on the bed in Suowu Palace. Emperor Shenwu, Nie Wushuang, Ruping and Ruhan were all in the bedroom.
When Emperor Shenwu saw Lan Qingwu slightly open his eyes, he signaled Nie Wushuang to come forward and take his pulse.
Nie Wushuang stepped forward and took the patient's pulse again. He breathed out softly, "Your Majesty, everything will be fine once you wake up. Your Majesty is particularly sensitive to the fragrance of flowers. As long as you don't smell it again, there will be no problem."
Emperor Shenwu frowned: "Just an allergy?"
Nie Wushuang said firmly: "It's just an allergy!"
Emperor Shenwu waved his hand and asked Nie Wushuang to retreat.
Lan Qingwu was still a little dizzy. She looked at the frowning Emperor Shenwu and said weakly, "Your Majesty, it was just an accident. Don't implicate others..."
"You're still lying in bed, and you're already pleading for someone else! Well, Li Xiang, go and tell that... concubine to return to her own palace. There's no need for her to kneel here. Tell her not to come out unless necessary."
With Nie Wushuang's care, Lan Qingwu felt uncomfortable for two days before gradually getting better.
Late at night, Emperor Shenwu embraced the recovered Lan Qingwu and almost rubbed her into his body.
Emperor Shenwu kissed Lan Qingwu's delicate lips passionately, and the two of them were like mandarin ducks embracing each other, lingering tenderly.
Lan Qingwu gradually lost consciousness and clung to Emperor Shenwu by instinct.
A few days later, Concubine Liang invited Lan Qingwu to attend a small banquet.
Lan Qingwu dressed up and walked towards Concubine Liang's palace.
