A cliff and a rock

" Achoo!" Zhai Tianyu sneezed causing Ji Yu to look at him with slight disgust, she raised her head from the painting that she was making and then said, " Was it necessary for you to come here, your majesty? There are more than fifty concubines in the harem who would have loved your presence." 

Zhai Tianyu wiped his nose and then leaned on the couch. His eyes fell on the portrait that Ji Yu was making and tilted his head before saying, " Yeah but compared to them, you are the safest at the moment. Is that Xiao Lin? How come I never knew that she was this beautiful?" 

" She might not be beautiful in your eyes, but she is in mine," stated Ji Yu as she added a few strokes to her painting. Once Xiao Lin's face was etched on the paper, Ji Yu's eyes softened as she softly traced the face that was smiling down at her with her fingers. " But why are you here? I don't think that I have done anything that would make you visit me."
