Chapter 57: Jingci Nunnery(2/2)

There were nuns serving in front of the monastery. When they saw them coming, someone went into the house, probably to report it. However, Madam Kong did not wait for anyone to come out to report it, so she took Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian to the level.

A nun came over to snatch the curtains, and Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian walked into the house.

Entering the door, there is a screen with a double-sided embroidered rich peonies. When you turn around, there is a carved and jade-inlaid Huanghuali Concubine Couch. On it is a bright yellow brocade mattress and backrest with auspicious patterns on the bed of the concubine.

There was no one on the imperial concubine's couch. Under the window not far from the imperial concubine's couch, there was a painting table. In front of the painting table was a woman wearing a bright yellow robe and a jade hairpin on her head.

Ji Xiaotang only saw the woman's side face. Her temples were already white, but her figure was still tall. She was holding a paintbrush in her hand and was concentrating on painting on rice paper.

Madam Kong signaled the two of them to silence, but instead stepped forward to report, she retreated gently.

When Qi Younian saw the woman, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent. He took Ji Xiaotang's hand and took Ji Xiaotang toward the woman.

The woman seemed to be too focused and didn't hear anyone approaching her, and she still painted on rice paper.

Qi Younian didn't say anything, took Ji Xiaotang to the painting table and stood next to the woman.

Ji Xiaotang looked on the rice paper.

It turned out that the woman was painting the pomegranate outside the window and was about to draw it. As for the woman's painting skills, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. The woman had almost no painting skills, but she painted very seriously and enjoyed herself.

Qi Younian's eyes swept over the woman's painting, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice. He hurriedly withdrew his gaze to look at Ji Xiaotang, and happened to see Ji Xiaotang's mouth twitching.

Oh no. Qi Younian called out terrible in his heart. He thought he had thought it was very thorough, but he forgot something. He didn't expect that he would meet her drawing.

Ji Xiaotang asked him what he needed to be taboo. This guy had no other taboo, only one. He couldn't hear anyone say that she didn't draw well, although in fact, she did not draw well for decades.

Qi Younian wanted to remind Ji Xiaotang, but it was difficult to speak, so he could only wink Ji Xiaotang, hoping that Ji Xiaotang would understand.

"Ayou, what are you looking at? Your eyes are about to fall out again." The woman kept painting brushes under her hands, and she didn't raise her head. But she seemed to see Qi Younian and said.

Qi Younian smiled and turned around quickly.

"Grandma, do you know I'm here?"

"I knew it when you are at the door. Listening to the sound of the wind, I knew it was you. Why did I bring someone to see me?" As he said this, the woman finished drawing the last stroke, put the brush in her hand in the brush, slowly raised her head and turned around.

Only then did Ji Xiaotang see the woman's appearance clearly.

The woman had an oval face, with obvious wrinkles on her forehead and corners of her eyes, but her face was rosy and her eyes were bright. She turned out to be a heroic old woman.

This person turned out to be Qi Younian's grandmother.

"Grandma, this is Xiaotang I mentioned to you." Qi Younian introduced Ji Xiaotang to the old woman.

"Xiaotang has seen the eldest princess." Ji Xiaotang bowed his knees and saluted.

Few people mentioned Qi Younian's grandmother now. Even Qi Younian herself has hardly mentioned it in front of Ji Xiaotang. However, Ji Xiaotang had heard Mr. Ji Er talk with his old friend of the same age in a chat in the early years.

The father of the mighty man, the old Weiwuhou who had already passed away, married Emperor Longqing's grandmother, the sister of the third emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the only eldest princess in the Great Qin Dynasty to this day.

But in Ji Xiaotang's impression, Qi Younian's grandmother, the eldest princess, passed away many years ago.

Ji Xiaotang didn't pay attention to the exact time, but the fact is that everyone hasn't seen it for many years, nor has he heard of this eldest princess.

Who would have thought that the eldest princess was still alive and lived in seclusion in Jingci Temple.

After knowing the old woman's identity, Ji Xiaotang immediately understood the painstaking efforts that Qi Younian told her at that time.

This eldest princess, in terms of seniority, is also Empress Dowager Han’s aunt and Emperor Longqing’s grandmother.

Ji Xiaotang felt emotion in his heart, and at the same time he had already worshipped. The eldest princess Qin Min stretched out her hand and helped Ji Xiaotang up.

"Many people have never heard of this title." Qin Min's tone was very plain, and even Ji Xiaotang couldn't hear what kind of emotions she felt when she said this.

Qin Min helped Ji Xiaotang up and looked at Ji Xiaotang up and down.

Qin Min's eyes were so fierce. Thinking that this person was Qi Younian's grandmother, Ji Xiaotang couldn't resist Qin Min's gaze, and his face slowly turned red.

She guessed that the person Qi Younian brought her to see must not be an ordinary person, but she never expected that this person would be Qi Younian's grandmother.

If Qin Min wasn't by his side, Ji Xiaotang really wanted to blame Qi Younian for saying a few words.

Qi Younian did a great job in keeping confidentiality this time, and he should be beaten!

Qin Min looked at Ji Xiaotang, and it seemed that it was not over. Qi Younian was happy to see him at first. Seeing Ji Xiaotang gradually blushing, he couldn't tell what it felt, but he felt that the smell in the room was sweet.

Finally, Ji Xiaotang couldn't stand Qin Min's gaze and glanced at Qi Younian.

This is asking for help from Qi Younian.

Qi Younian immediately understood: "Grandma, don't always stand. If you are tired, sit down quickly."

Qi Younian supported Qin Min and was about to go to the imperial concubine's couch, taking advantage of this to help Ji Xiaotang.

Unfortunately, Qin Min refused to be fooled. She waved her arm and threw Qi Younian away, giving Qi Younian a blank look, then turned her head to look at Ji Xiaotang.

Qin Min's eyes were gone, and all that was left was a kind smile.

"Ayou has a good vision. It's the first time I have seen such a fair-looking girl."

Qin Min praised Ji Xiaotang like this. Before Ji Xiaotang was doing well, Qi Younian couldn't help but smile all over his eyes. It seemed that Qin Min was not praising Ji Xiaotang, but himself.

"Look, I'll give you a beautiful face." Qin Min seemed to have eyes on her head. She looked at Qi Younian's every move in her eyes, and then smiled and hated Qi Younian.

Qi Younian just laughed.

"Does my grandmother like it?"

"I like this girl, who can't like it...Ah You likes it, and her grandmother likes it."

This sentence not only made Qi Younian very happy, but also made Ji Xiaotang feel good about Qin Min.

"What the eldest princess is it all old almanac. No one calls me that now. Just follow Ayou and call me grandmother." Qin Min held Ji Xiaotang's hand and said with a smile.

The heat on Ji Xiaotang's face had not faded, and she lowered her eyes slightly and asked Qi Younian what she meant with her eyes.

Qi Younian nodded heavily.

"Grandmother." Ji Xiaotang also simply called Qin Min "Grandmother".

This grandmother obviously also liked Qin Min.

Qin Min pulled Ji Xiaotang and asked Ji Xiaotang to see her paintings.

Qi Younian was still happy just now. At this time, he immediately became nervous and gave Ji Xiaotang a secret wink.

Qin Min realized it and pushed Qi Younian away with her elbow, blocking him with her body, preventing him from signaling to Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang, come and see this painting of grandmother. Is it good?" Qin Min looked at Ji Xiaotang expectantly.

"Oh..." Ji Xiaotang pondered for a moment, and Qi Younian signaled to her several times, and it should be the painting.

About the painting of the eldest princess. She needs to be careful.

Ji Xiaotang knew what she should say most in this situation, but looking at Qin Min's paintings, those words were really unspeakable.

"Grandma's words are hard to discuss good or bad." Ji Xiaotang carefully looked at the painting before saying slowly.

"How do you say this?" Qin Min immediately became interested. She had been painting for decades, and this was the first time she heard such comments.

"Grandma's paintings are not like them at all."

"Oh..." Qi Younian held his forehead and couldn't help but say a whisper.

"What weird look you are doing? Be more honest and beat you out!" Qin Min immediately glared at Qi Younian, turned her face but looked at Ji Xiaotang with a smile. "My painting doesn't look like it."

"It's not like it." Ji Xiaotang told the truth, and didn't seem to see a colorful look on Qin Min's face. "The skin is not like it, the bones are like it."

Qin Min's eyes immediately lit up.

"It's hard to draw bones by drawing tiger skin. Xiaotang, what you say is not like, bones are like..."

"My grandmother did not paint the shape of a pomegranate, but she painted the rhyme of a pomegranate."

Qin Min was stunned for a moment, then excitedly held Ji Xiaotang's hands.

"Xiaotang is my soulmate."

Qin Min finished speaking, and Qi Younian finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this level, Ji Xiaotang finally passed. Standing behind the eldest princess, Qi Younian gave Ji Xiaotang a thumbs up and signaled Ji Xiaotang to do a good job.

Ji Xiaotang smiled slightly and felt particularly happy.

In Jingci'an, in front of the eldest princess, Qi Younian showed his other side, a childish side he had almost never shown in front of Ji Xiaotang.

Based on this alone, Ji Xiaotang knew that the relationship between the eldest princess and Qi Younian's grandchildren must be very deep.

The eldest princess recognized Ji Xiaotang as a soulmate, and while pulling Qi Younian over, she scolded Qi Younian in a proud tone.

"............ Over the years, you have been right and wrong. On the surface, you praise me for my good paintings, but secretly look down on me. You say that I have painted for decades and have made no progress at all, and that my paintings have always been so bad. Now you understand, it's not that I've painted badly, but that you don't know how to appreciate them!"

Qin Min said so much in one breath, and seemed to have been frustrated for many years, and finally was able to be proud.

Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang were both amused by her.

Qin Min asked someone to come in and put the painting in. While taking Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian to the couch, he took off a bracelet from his wrist and wore it on Ji Xiaotang without saying a word. The bracelet was neither gold nor jade, because it was worn with you all year round, and the beads were lubricated and shiny, and there was a faint fragrance.

Ji Xiaotang naturally noticed that Qin Min had no gold ornaments at all, and it really seemed like she was practicing.

"Thank you grandmother." Ji Xiaotang knew that this bracelet was priceless, so he did not refuse pretentiously, but thanked her and accepted her.

Qi Younian was on the side, and her face looked even more happy.

At this moment, he had confirmed that the eldest princess liked Ji Xiaotang and accepted Ji Xiaotang. Although he had expected this to be the case, his grandmother was still surprised by how quickly he could accept Ji Xiaotang.
