Chapter 49: Reshaping the Portrait
The ink paint was all placed on the table, but Ning Liuying suddenly became nervous for no reason.
Although she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when she was still Ke Wan, she has not practiced these skills since she was reborn. At the moment, it is a bit ugly to draw a complete portrait with skill.
Seeing that Yuan Chufeng, who was looking at Ning Liuying, he naturally noticed her mood, he patted her hand, and sighed lightly: "It's difficult for you to let you paint?" Originally, the king didn't blame you for this, so you don't have to blame yourself too hard and take some responsibility that you shouldn't have. ”
After that, Yuan Chufeng was going to order someone to remove the pen and ink paint.
Ning Liuying hurriedly pressed the paper on the table and shook her head at Yuan Chufeng, "The prince misunderstood, I was just a little nervous for a while, not that I couldn't draw." Since I promised the prince that I will do what I say, I ask the prince to believe me. ”
Yuan Chufeng thought for a while, and saw that Ning Liuying's serious expression did not seem to be fake, so he also believed her, and moved to the side.
"Then the king is watching you."
Ning Liuying nodded, then grinded the ink with her own hands, added water and mixed it thoroughly, took a fine pencil and began to draw thin strips on the paper.
Looking at her smooth operation, it seems that there are really two brushes, Yuan Chufeng nodded lightly on the side, and put his heart at ease.
Ning Liuying swayed her pen and ink on the paper, although she was still a little rusty at first, but she quickly regained the feeling of practicing painting when she was a young lady from an official family.
According to the appearance of the portrait in her memory, she carefully sketched the outline of Chu Ruoxi on the paper, although the figure has not yet taken shape, but it is already seven or eight points similar.
Yuan Chufeng watched quietly from the side, looking at Chu Ruoxi's familiar eyebrows, and felt very emotional in his heart for a while.
I never thought that Ning Liuying would still have attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is very different from her before, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she has completely changed a person after amnesia, but-
A slight smile appeared on Yuan Chufeng's face.
However, he likes this Ning Liuying even more.
……
Ning Liuying painted seriously, completely forgetting the existence of Yuan Chufeng, and Yuan Chufeng didn't make a sound, just stood aside and waited.
After Ning Liuying's meticulous work, it was already three hours later.
Originally, the two of them rushed to the small garden just in time for the spring sun, but at this time, by the time Ning Liuying finished painting, the sun had begun to gradually sink in the west.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the mahogany window on the beauty in the new painting on the table, which makes the beauty's eyebrows appear softer.
Ning Liuying clapped her hands with satisfaction, and when the paint was almost dry, she lifted the paper on the table and carefully admired the painting she had just finished through the sunlight.
I saw that only a woman was simply drawn on the paper, although the lines were very concise, but it was just a few strokes to outline the woman's demeanor, making her smile and smile like a real person. As for the woman's clothing, it is slightly embellished with strong colors, not seeking to be decorated, and the color is very simple, but it has a unique style.
Looking at the whole painting, I am afraid that even if an expert painter is present, it is rare to praise the sentence "exquisite and unique".
Yuan Chufeng watched quietly beside Ning Liuying, and he didn't open his mouth until this moment.
"Not bad. The form and spirit are there. ”
Hearing Yuan Chufeng's voice, Ning Liuying suddenly reacted that there was such a number one person staying by her side, her heart was nervous, her palms shook, and the drawing paper in her hand slipped down.
Fortunately, Yuan Chufeng reacted in time, and directly reached out and scooped up the drawing paper in his hand.
He unfolded the drawing paper, traced the eyebrows and eyes of the woman on the paper with his eyes, and said lightly: "If you are not careful, it would be a pity to ruin the painting that took three hours to complete." ”
"That's what the prince said." Ning Liuying whispered.
She looked at the drawing paper in Yuan Chufeng's hand again, and asked with hope, "What does the prince think?" Did I do what I promised? ”
Yuan Chufeng didn't answer immediately, he still looked at the woman on the drawing paper intently.
A smile and a smile are all like a living state.
If Chu Ruoxi is alive, I am afraid that there will be no difference between it and this portrait.
"Lord Wang?" Seeing that Yuan Chufeng didn't answer, Ning Liuying was a little nervous, so she called carefully.
Yuan Chufeng pulled back his thoughts from his trance, he coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "This king has said that the form and spirit are all there, and it is a first-class work. The portrait that was originally offered in the Huixin Pavilion was made by Zhang Dan, a painter who was found by this king, and he thought it was the pinnacle of work. When I see what you draw today, I know that there is a sky outside the sky. ”
"Painter Zhang Dan?" was praised by Yuan Chufeng, Ning Liuying was surprised, but she couldn't believe it, "But that Zhang Dan, who is called the 'first painter of the palace'?" I asked myself if my skills were not as good as those of Zhang Painter, so don't torture me. ”
"When did this king lie to you?" Yuan Chufeng glanced at Ning Liuying, and when he saw her unconfident demeanor, he immediately felt a little funny.
He waved his hand to beckon the subordinates and instructed them to take this painting down, "Take this painting down, raise it like the one in the Huixin Pavilion before, and be sure to keep it properly." ”
The subordinate responded, took the painting down, and by the way cleaned up the piece of pen and ink paint on the desk that had been used almost the same, and soon only Ning Liuying and Yuan Chufeng were left in the study.
"The prince should keep it well this time." Ning Liuying said softly.
Yuan Chufeng nodded, he took Ning Liuying's hands, his expression was very complicated, "This king has to thank you this time, if it weren't for you, it might really be impossible to find it." ”
"This disaster was caused by me, these are what I should do, and it is my luck to be able to help the prince." Ning Liuying turned her face away, not daring to look at Yuan Chufeng's serious eyes.
"Actually, it's not recovered, this new work is not as good as the old things in the past."
"It doesn't matter, the painting has a lifespan, so it should be regarded as a rebirth and continuation of its life." Yuan Chufeng was relieved by Ning Liuying.
He carefully rubbed Ning Liuying's tender hands, and always felt that something seemed to be missing from the white bone wrist, "You should wear a bracelet here, and it will also line your clothes today." ”
Ning Liuying looked noncommittal, "Wearing too much gold and silver jewelry is cumbersome, and besides, the prince rewards me with gold and silver jewelry, but I think the most suitable thing is jade jewelry." ”
"You'll be picky." Yuan Chufeng smiled, "In the future, I will send jade ornaments to your yard, and let this king see how jade ornaments raise people." ”
Ning Liuying pursed her lips, "The prince doesn't have to break the bank." ”
"Bojia people smiled, how can it be called a broken fee?" Yuan Chufeng suddenly smiled a little ambiguously.
Ning Liuying blushed slightly and stopped talking.
At this time, Yuan Chufeng suddenly put down her hands and groped on the shelves in the study.
After a while, he seemed to have found a small mechanism, and when he broke it, a small compartment appeared somewhere on the shelf.
Darkly, at this time there was a small brocade box lying down.
