5. Chapter 5
The master was dressed in white, and his hands were still holding his already gray beard, and he continued to walk forward with the students, but he really had the feeling of a fairy wind.
"The front is the Champion Pavilion, I'm sure everyone has heard of it."
The Master gently pushed the door open. The interior is elegantly furnished, the seat cabinets are made of sandalwood, the patterns are carved very beautifully, and the workmanship is also very complicated, presumably it is also the meticulous work of a first-class carver.
"This was once the realm of the National Academy, and you must have only heard of it but never been there. There aren't many opportunities, so let's take a look! ”
"Could it be that these are the places where the portraits of the champions of the past dynasties are placed in legends?" Zhou Jinyu looked excited, as if she was yearning for this place.
The master nodded, "Yes, this is the place where the portraits of the champions of the past dynasties are placed." ”
Xiao Jing didn't seem to be influenced by her master, but walked to the middle. There is a portrait of a teenager hanging on the wall, fluttering in white, handsome and chic, with a calm gaze, but there is no immaturity that belongs to a teenager, and there is more calmness that a teenager does not have, Xiao Jing smiled slightly, is this portrait too exaggerated, how can there be such a perfect face in the world, is it not to buy the painter?
"This is King Shengqing." The master's voice came to mind behind him, and somehow he walked behind Xiao Jing and looked at the portrait on the wall with her, but the expressions of the two were different, one smiled and the other sighed.
"Why does the master sigh, why is the portrait of King Shengqing hanging in this Champion Pavilion?" Xiao Jing felt strange, it was not strange that this portrait was painted so perfectly, he was a prince, even if he didn't buy the painter, the painter would deliberately paint it perfectly, but why did this portrait hang here?
"You don't go out much, you probably don't know it yet! Two years ago, the emperor's birthday happened to be close to the day of the liberal arts imperial examination, and the king of Shengqing quietly participated in the imperial examination as a son of the poor family in order to give the emperor a special gift, and won the champion. The master was very happy when he talked about the Shengqing King, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at the portrait on the wall.
"If you are happy, why did the master sigh just now?"
"Hey... King Shengqing is full of talent but is jealous of talent, he has been weak and sick since he was born, and the imperial doctor said that he will not live to be twenty years old. ”
"I see." Xiao Jing's brows furrowed slightly, but her head was thinking about what kind of illness could predict that she would not live to be twenty years old.
"This portrait was painted by the old man himself." The pride on the Master's face when he said this. "You didn't look stupid when you saw the portrait just now, but you smiled a little naughty. I wonder if you think of something funny? ”
"This portrait was painted by the Master, so it's not funny."
"You girl is a little interesting, King Shengqing is handsome and extraordinary, and there are countless women who admire him, but you girl, I don't see that you have the slightest love for him."
The master laughed. What is there to love about a painting, give yourself a piece of paper, you can draw it yourself, if the portrait is not exaggerated, then the Master has not seen God? Xiao Jing shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"I have heard about King Shengqing participating in the scientific examination, at that time, my brother happened to follow my father to be the examiner of the scientific examination, and it is still the King of Shengqing who my brother helps." Shangguan Lanxue walked behind her at some point, and her voice was gentle and good.
"So, my cousin has seen the person in the painting?" Xiao Jing looked at Shangguan Lanxue and asked
"It's nature. After the scientific expedition, he personally came to the door to thank him, but I saw it once, like a portrait, it is different from other princes and princes, his face is pale but his spirit is very good, and his talent is needless to say. Hearing Shangguan Lanxue say it herself, Xiao Jing looked up quietly again, and suddenly felt pity, I heard that the royal family was helpless, I was afraid that even if she was really born with a peerless appearance, it was not a good thing, so she was a little curious about him.
