They all say I'm a tyrant

Chapter 42

After a snowfall, the capital city has officially entered winter.

Every year when this time comes, You Yan will become more lazy.In the past few years, there were a lot of affairs, and he had to struggle to go to the morning court every day. This year, General You, who was idle at home, became more and more confident. Reading a book in the basin, not even taking a step towards the door.

Master You has never been too lazy to ask about You Yan's daily life, and naturally no one else in You's mansion dares to ask about it, so You Yan lived his life more freely, but Ruiyun seemed worried when he saw that his son was like this all day long .

"My lord," Ruiyun pushed open the door and was surprised when he saw You Yanzheng standing in front of the desk, "You woke up so early today?"

You Yan glanced at him casually: "I slept for too long yesterday, so I woke up early today." He glanced at Ruiyun, continued to look at the paper in front of him, held a pen in his hand, and pointed at the bed in front of him. Open a large sheet of paper thoughtfully.

Seeing him so focused, Ruiyun couldn't help being curious, and took a look in front of the book case. What caught his eyes was a large plum forest, with plum blossoms blooming on the branches, extremely gorgeous, and under the nearest plum tree, standing a A tall and handsome man in black, with a face like a crown of jade, makes people forget the Merlin in front of them, and can't help but focus on him.

Ruiyun looked at it for a while before recovering: "This, this is Your Majesty?"

"Otherwise?" You Yan dipped the pen, and made a few more strokes on the paper, "I haven't picked up the pen for a long time, it's inevitable that I'm unfamiliar, and I can't even show half of his demeanor." You Yan stared at the person on the painting and then After looking at it for a while, "This kind of thing probably can't be given away."

"Oh, I remember," Ruiyun clapped his hands suddenly, "It's winter, and His Majesty's birthday is coming up again, young master, do you want to make a painting for His Majesty this year?" He said and looked down at the painting , "I see that this painting is very good. Besides, as long as it is sent by you, young master, even if it is a blank piece of paper, His Majesty will like it, right?"

You Yan glared at him: "The more this is the case, the more I want to give him the best things." After finishing speaking, he put down the pen, picked up the entire picture on the desk, and held it up to his eyes for a closer look. Finally shook his head, "Take this one away, I'll draw another one."

Ruiyun took the painting over and looked at it carefully, but he still doesn't quite understand what's wrong with the painting, but he is very clear about his son's temperament, especially the things that are given to the current sage. Only the mind can be satisfied.Therefore, he immediately rolled up the painting neatly, spread a new sheet of paper, and then stood aside to study the ink for You Yan.

You Yan held the pen and frowned and looked at the paper in front of him, as if he was thinking about how to write the pen. After a long time, he finally dipped in the ink, turned his head and glanced at Rui Yun: "Where did you go so early in the morning?"

It was only then that Ruiyun remembered what he had just done: "Your Majesty sent Chi guards to bring you tea cakes, and I put them in the outside room. And then, here is a letter of greeting for you." Ruiyun said, from his arms He took out a greeting card and handed it to You Yan.

"Give me a copy of the tea cakes for my father, keep the rest and don't let Shuwen see them again." You Yan took the greeting card and opened it while saying, "Isn't everyone in the court busy with Li Bu?" Case, who would think of sending me a greeting card?"

After saying that, he took a look at the post, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to Ruiyun, "Order to prepare the food and drink, Mr. Lin will come over in the afternoon."

"Young Master Lin?" Rui Yun asked blankly, "Which Young Master Lin?"

"Naturally it's Lin Jue," You Yan put the greeting card aside, "I think it's winter and he has nowhere to spend his time, so he thought of coming to me to pass the time, since he just has nothing to do. It's also interesting to have a drink and chat with someone."

As he said that, he picked up the pen again and dipped the ink again: "I just asked Lin Jue to help me see what is missing in my painting."

"Good sir, I'll order someone to prepare." Ruiyun was about to turn around, but couldn't help but said, "My lord, since you have nothing to do in the mansion, why don't you go into the palace...Your Majesty, maybe I would love to see you."

"Now the whole court is worried about the Li Bu case. It is easy to investigate this case, but it is a problem to deal with it in the end. If I enter the palace at this time, it is inevitable that I will mention this matter. Although there are not so many scruples between me and him , but as a ruler, he definitely doesn't like being influenced by others, he has been on the throne for four years, he will make a decision on this kind of matter, why should I add trouble to the two of us because of this kind of thing." You Yan said As he spoke, he took a sip from the teacup on the corner of the table, "It's too late for me to try every means to make him happy every day. Why don't I finish this painting properly in the mansion these few days."

Rui Yun frowned, he understood the meaning of You Yan's words, in the final analysis, You Yan still didn't want to get too involved in the government affairs, which would cause unnecessary misunderstandings and lead to conflicts between the two.Over the years, You Yan seems to have been grasping this sense of proportion, helping Lin Ce when he needs it, but not interfering too much.

People say that the emperor is ruthless, and no matter how sincere his feelings are when it comes to power and interests, it will inevitably be affected. This truth is naturally clear to You Yan. Probably since the day Lin Ce ascended the throne, he has been making preparations. It's not worth mentioning at all, if these irrelevant things affect the friendship between him and Lin Ce, it would be a shame to him.

Seeing that Ruiyun was still in a daze, You Yan waved his hand: "Go and do your work, don't disturb my painting here."

Ruiyun scratched his head, sometimes he always felt that his son would not marry any woman in the world, and insisted on being with the current emperor, which was really worrying, but when he looked back at his son, he felt that Nothing to worry about.

You Yan was different from ordinary people when he was a teenager. He had too many things that others could not get in his life, so he knew what was the most precious. Ever since he fell in love with that little King Han back then, he understood what he wanted in this life.

A transparent person like You Yan wants that person for a lifetime, so how can he allow himself to lose it?

It's better not to worry about yourself.Rui Yun came back to his senses, and nodded towards You Yan: "Understood, young master, remember to call me if you need anything."

You Yan is always very serious when it comes to matters involving Lin Ce, because he wanted to give Lin Ce a painting as a birthday gift on a whim, so he got up early in the morning and stood in front of the desk and painted non-stop for most of the day.No one knows what kind of painting You Yan wants to paint for Lin Ce, at least in Ruiyun's eyes, those paintings that You Yan dislikes are considered top-grade.

Perhaps in the eyes of my young master, the current appearance of the Holy Majesty cannot be painted with a brush.

It was already past noon when Ruiyun entered the door again, You Yan had been painting all the time, and he didn't even use his lunch, some semi-finished products were scattered beside the desk, which somehow made You Yan dissatisfied, and was thrown aside casually.Rui Yun tidied up these papers without complaint, put them away carefully, and put them in a wooden box.

Even if it is a waste painting that You Yan despises, the painting is after all the holy one, these papers cannot be disposed of casually.

You Yan put down the pen again. It seemed that he was not very satisfied with the painting he just finished. He raised his eyebrows, handed the drawing paper to Rui Yun, took a sip of tea to moisten his thirsty throat: "When is it?" ?”

"My lord, it's almost the end of the day. Mr. Lin should be here soon. Would you like to tidy up?" Ruiyun looked at You Yan's messy robe and loose hair, "It's not good to look like this To see a guest?"

You Yan yawned, sat down in front of the bronze mirror, and asked Ruiyun to tie his hair: "Is the food and drink ready?"

"It's all ready, and I'll deliver it when Mr. Lin arrives." Ruiyun said, "Master, you haven't eaten anything since morning. I just brought some pastries from the kitchen. Would you like to try it first?"

"Okay," You Yan shook his head, and said suddenly, "Have you put away all those paintings just now? There is a picture of Huaicheng on that painting, and you are not allowed to destroy it at will."

"Young master, don't worry, I have received everything in the box."

"En." You Yan instructed again, "Don't let Huai Cheng see it." He took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "We have known each other for so many years, but I still can't draw him I don’t know what to give him in the end.”

Rui Yun was a little curious: "My lord, have you ever painted our Majesty before?"

"Before," You Yan closed his eyes slightly, smile lines formed on his lips, he recalled some pleasant things, "Of course I did, but at that time our saint was still young, we didn't have as much thought as we do now, and we didn't like I am so moody and angry now. I was young and arrogant at that time, and I felt that I was a good painter, so I painted whenever I wanted to, and I was not as entangled as I am today."

Ruiyun has been with You Yan for many years, but he has never seen Lin Ce's portrait, so he couldn't help being curious: "Young master, where is that painting now, why haven't I seen it?"

You Yan glanced at Ruiyun from the bronze mirror, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Of course not everyone can see that painting. If you saw it, I probably have to cut out your eyes to feel at ease."

"Ah?" Rui Yun couldn't believe it, "What, why are the paintings so, so...unable to see?"

You Yan shook his head lightly, a figure of a young man emerged in his mind. The young man was only wearing a middle coat, revealing his firm waist and abdomen. There were also some unbearable marks all over it, like ink The long hair was loose and dripping with water, leaving a water mark on the ground following the boy's footsteps.

It was the first time they had been together, You Yan lazily leaned on the bed, looking at such a picture of a beautiful woman out of the bath, it was hard to hold back, regardless of his sore waist and some uncomfortable positions, he insisted on drawing a picture painting.He was naturally satisfied with the effect of the painting, but the painting was confiscated by King Han, who was still a little young at the time, and even he himself could not see it for many years.

You Yan raised his hand and touched his chin. Speaking of which, the next time he enters the palace, he will look for where the painting is hidden.
