Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin invited a well-known local painter. The dyes they used were excellent and the painter could paint people lifelike.

　　Luo Shuyu wanted to paint the two of them on one piece of paper, and the artist fulfilled their request.

　　The painting of two people was sent to Emperor Tiansheng. Since they were going to paint portrait today, Luo Shuyu thought it would be better to paint the single person portrait as well. It seemed that the two of them never had a portrait, and it was a different experience for them.

　　This portrait was the result of Shen Mingyun's obesity, but fortunately the aftermath didn't last too long.

　　After Prime Minister Yan, who was far away in the capital, was dismissed. The crown prince and the fourth prince were at odds with each other, and the two were determined wouldn't give up to put to death their enemy.

　　Nowadays, there were more and more people standing behind the fourth prince. Of course, although Prime Minister Yan himself was not working in the front, he could still move behind the scenes. There were still a lot of people behind him, and they wouldn't shake his foundation.

       Although the letters that were placed on Emperor Tiansheng's table proved that he committed treason, but it was also possible that someone else might forge the letters to harm him. Although this matter had a conclusion on the surface, it didn't cause much damage to Prime Minister Yan.

　　He was the prime minister of a country, how could if someone say that he committed treason then he really committed treason. Even Emperor Tiansheng would also think it twice, so as not to chill the hearts of other veterans who had followed him for many years.

　　Prime Minister Yan was really cunning, and he also knew that the fourth prince was too anxious. Did he think it was so easy to bring him down?

　　This plan was too clumsy, if it was other princes, Emperor Tiansheng might believe it, but he was a veteran of the two dynasties. Before, he followed the former emperor, and then followed Emperor Tiansheng. He was an honest and loyal minister in Daxia Kingdom, just a few letters were not enough to bring him down.

　　However, because of this incident, Prime Minister Yan could see Emperor Tiansheng clearly. He knew that Emperor Tiansheng didn't want to see the crown prince ascend the throne, so he had been allowing other princes to attack the crown prince and get his position. The opponent of the crown prince would never be the other princes, but Emperor Tiansheng himself.

　　Emperor Tiansheng already knew that the crown prince was not his own son.

　　It was time to start working on their next steps.

　　In June of the twentieth year of Tiansheng, summer.

　　This year's summer was hotter than ever before. In the hot days, everyone just wanted to enjoy the cool air, and didn't want to be exposed to the scorching sun outside.

　　Concubine Mei was drinking mung bean soup with some ice in the bedroom where Emperor Tian Sheng took a rest.

　　Of course this mung bean soup was not prepared by her. Concubine Mei was different from other concubines. She always disdained to win over Emperor Tiansheng with delicious food. So if Emperor Tiansheng asked her to prepare delicious food, she would boil a few sweet potatoes or a few corns and send them to Emperor Tiansheng.

　　One was for safety, and the other because it wasn't complicated.

　　Over time, Emperor Tiansheng also got used to the fact that she didn't like to go into the small kitchen.

　　Concubine Mei didn't drink mung bean soup in small sips. Unlike other concubines who took a small sip and then wiped their mouths with a handkerchief, she was very heroic and she could finish a bowl of mung bean soup in a moment. It was a long walk from her Changle Palace to Emperor Tiansheng's bedroom, and the weather was so hot.

　　After drinking one bowl of mung bean soup, she asked for a second bowl, and she also drank Emperor Tiansheng's portion as well. It was really comfortable to have ice in summer: "Did His majesty ask me to come here just to drink mung bean soup?"

　　Emperor Tiansheng asked the old eunuch to fetch a painting, and said, "I told you to come and see the painting."

　　Concubine Mei's eyes brightened slightly: "Did Jin'er and Yu'er send the portrait?"

　　Emperor Tiansheng: "Yes, they look pretty good, come and have a look."

　　The two eunuchs erected the painting, just right to display the painting perfectly.

　　In the painting, Luo Shuyu was sitting, and Li Mingjin was standing behind him on the left. The appearance of the couple looked better than the last time when they went to Gucheng.

　　Concubine Mei looked at the person in the painting, and said to the point: "Jin'er seems to have matured a lot, and Yu'er has become more reserved."

　　In fact, what she thought in her heart was that her son was starting to show his sharpness, and the intelligence in her daughter-in-law's eyes was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

　　Emperor Tiansheng sighed: "Looking at the two of them really makes me feel comfortable, do you have this kind of feeling?"

       When he looked from left to right, he found that the two of them were particularly pleasing to the eyes, "It's just a little strange, how come Mingyun has become so fat after staying there for a year, but the two of them still haven't grown any flesh, is it because the north is too cold and bitter, therefore they can't get fat?"

　　Concubine Mei said: "If Your Majesty loves them, why don't ask them to come back to serve you, so  we can still see them everyday."

　　Emperor Tiansheng smiled and said, "I'd like to, but the situation is pressing now, if they come back, who will take care of the north?"

　　Concubine Mei never said much about the affairs of the future, and she stopped talking when it came to this.

　　Concubine Mei continued to stare at the painting, she sighed and said, "Your Majesty, can you let me bring this painting back to my palace?"

　　At that time, Emperor Tiansheng asked Li Mingjin for painting on a whim, and he wouldn't look at Li Mingjin's painting everyday. So it would be best to let Concubine Mei keep the painting.

　　Emperor Tiansheng said, "Alright."
