"What, let me paint the portrait of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion!" Merton looked at Li Chengqian, who came uninvited, in shock.

Merton didn't expect Li Shimin to act so quickly, and only a few days later, he immediately got a heated discussion about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty in the Great Court Meeting, but these courtiers are also figures with heads and faces, although they know that this will benefit them a lot, and they are embarrassed to say that they want fame, so they all refuse.

However, as soon as Merton's poem came out, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces immediately sensed the great influence of Lingyan Pavilion to inspire future generations, which could not only bring great fame to themselves, but also inspire future generations.

When it was decided that he would be a candidate for the portrait of the ministers, Yan Liben, who was unanimously recommended by everyone, resolutely resigned, and instead recommended Morton as the painter.

"Of course, pay attention to the fact that you wrote it, the poem was written by you, and the painting is now the most similar to what you painted in Chang'an City, not who you are." Li Chengqian had an expression of I am very optimistic about you, and he hated Mo Dun only gritted his teeth, this time he really moved a stone and hit his own feet, and he was so cheap that he actually found such a trouble for himself.

You must know that Lingyan Pavilion can have twenty-four meritorious heroes, and it will take nearly a month to paint one a day.

"Brother Mo rest assured, Lingyan Pavilion has just been proposed, and it will take at least a year to complete the construction, so Brother Mo has plenty of time." Li Chengqian said.

Merton breathed a sigh of relief, at least in terms of time.

"Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures. Brother Mo's poems are heroic and generous, and he is really a model for my generation of men. A sissy voice tried to pretend to be heroic, and she grinned and hugged her fists.

"Who is this?"

Mo Dun looked at the sissy who had been silently following Li Chengqian, no, this is a sissy at all, full of rouge powder, and deliberately pretending to be heroic.

Li Chengqian's eyes flickered suddenly, and he looked away from Mo Dun and said: "Haha, I forgot to introduce, this is the younger brother of this palace, Li Zhen, I regret that I didn't meet Brother Mo in Chongwen Pavilion the day before yesterday, and I came to visit today." ”

"Little Wang Li Zhen greets Brother Mo." Li Zhen deliberately said in a thick voice.

"Well said, well said." Merton was confused and could only follow along.

"Merton, my younger brother usually likes Danqing very much, and I heard that Brother Mo Danqing is unique, so I came here to ask for advice." Li Chengqian explained.

"Please also ask Brother Mo for advice!" Li Zhen took out two pieces of rice paper and handed them to Merton.

Morton picked it up and took a look, a portrait of Li Shimin holding Princess Jinyang painted by Merton, due to the unskilled match between light and dark, the portrait was only three or four points similar, but for new scholars, it was already rare.

As for the other one, it is a comic portrait drawn by Morton for Li Chengqian, which is simply a vivid imitation.

Li Chengqian looked at his comic avatar, extremely embarrassed, glared at Merton fiercely and said: "Although the painting of the younger brother is nonsense, it is also enthusiastic, so you can teach it reluctantly!" ”

Merton looked at Li Chengqian and was already annoyed, wisely not teasing him, but looking at the sissy Li Zhen in front of him with a headache, it should not be said that Li Zhen is dressed as a man, Li Qian, who is so close to Li Chengqian, and is slightly two or three years younger, then there is only one possibility, it is Li Chengqian's sister Li Liqing, the princess of Changle.

This is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, with a respected status, and Merton finds that he always inexplicably provokes some people he can't afford to provoke.

"Purple!" Merton shouted into the back room.

After a long time, the purple-clothed cloaked walked out, and this girl went crazy in order to draw a violent man.

"What's wrong, young master?" Ziyi said in a daze.

"Take Prince Li to your studio and explain the painting skills I taught you to Prince Li." Merton arranged that in order to cultivate purple clothes, Merton spared no effort to teach his painting skills, and Merton really couldn't provoke Li Shimin, if he let him know that he taught his daughter to paint by hand, then he would definitely not survive tomorrow.

Ziyi came over in a daze, looking at Li Zhen in men's and women's clothes, and couldn't help but light up his eyes.

"This sister is so beautiful!"

Li Lizhen's face suddenly turned half red, and she said in a thick voice again: "The girl is wrong, the younger brother is a man." ”

This girl is estimated to be the first time to disguise herself as a woman, and she has no experience at all, and anyone can debunk it at a glance, but he thinks that his costume is seamless, and he speaks the words of a man in a thick voice.

Ziyi patted his forehead speechlessly, walked up to Li Lizhi and whispered a few times.

Li Lizhen hurriedly looked down at her rather large chest, touched her Adam's apple again, and her face suddenly turned red.

"Humph!" Li Li glared at Li Chengqian and Morton hatefully, and arrogantly led the purple clothes away.

"What's my business?" Merton's face was inexplicable, he really suffered for no reason.

"Sister She's willful, please forgive Brother Mo." Li Chengqian said bitterly.

"Now you can give me an explanation!" Privately led a princess dressed as a woman to Mofu, if this was spread, Merton would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

"My father wants to help my sister set a family affair, my sister is unwilling, she is in a bad mood, my sister usually likes Danqing, especially after seeing the paintings painted by Brother Mo for my father and Jinyang, I can't put it down, in order to let my sister relieve her depression, this palace came to Mofu." Li Chengqian explained.

"Marriage, eldest grandson Chong?" Merton asked.

"How does Brother Mo know?" Li Chengqian was surprised! It stands to reason that this matter is still under discussion, and Princess Changle is still losing her temper and has not made it public at all.

Morton secretly said in his heart, how could I not know, I also know that your sister was very unhappy when she married the eldest grandson, and she died at the age of twenty-three.

It's a tragedy! Merton knew in his heart that this was a political marriage between Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji, and he did not consider Li Lizhi's feelings at all. Whether to save the whole elf-like woman, Merton fell into the battle between heaven and man, and after a long time, conscience prevailed.

"Do you feel that the blood relationship between Princess Changle and Li Lizhi is too close?" Merton asked cautiously.

"I know, according to the seniority, the eldest grandson Chong is my cousin, isn't this a kiss?" Li Chengqian said with a nonchalant expression.

Empress Changsun and Empress Changsun Wuji are brother and sister, while Li Lizhen and Changsun Chong are cousins. ”

"Kiss and kiss?" Merton then remembered that there was such a saying in ancient times.

Merton thought about it and said carefully: "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ever known why there are so many singles in Mojia Village, and poverty in Mojia Village is only one of the aspects. More importantly, Mojia Village strictly prohibits the marriage of close relatives of three generations of direct and side lines. ”

"Three generations of direct lineage, three generations of side lineage!" Of course, Li Chengqian knew what this meant, Li Lizhen and Changsun Chong were blood relatives of the third generation.

"What's wrong with that?" Li Chengqian asked in a trembling voice. He knew the situation in Mojia Village, there were many singles in the village, but Mojia Village, which was so eager to reproduce, strictly forbade close relatives to marry.

"Because there is a high chance that children born of consanguineous marriages are mentally retarded, cerebral palsy, and various genetic diseases." Merton said word by word.

In later generations, there was even an extremely large and prominent royal family, which was cut off by men because of the marriage of close relatives, and the dynasty collapsed.
