I didn't have to go back to the dormitory after a short rest, and there was a bed in the inner room where I figured out the imperial study, so Emperor Ji went to sleep under Xiao Anzi's service.

When Xiao Anzi was about to close the door, Emperor Ji turned around and pointed at those palace maids and eunuchs and said, "You all go out and wait first, don't disturb Chen Qing and Pingle County Lord painting." ”

So those palace maids and eunuchs also retreated, and only Chen Siye, Le Xuan and Xiao Tao were left in the imperial study, and Xiao Tao also stayed because she wanted to help Le Xuan.

With the impression in his mind, it took Chen Siye another half an hour to complete the work.

With a sigh, Chen Siye rubbed his slightly sore right hand and said, "Finally finished painting." ”

Le Xuan and Xiao Tao have been standing behind him to observe, and when they saw that he had finished painting, Xiao Tao praised softly: "It's really delicate, it's exactly what Miss lacks, if you want to say that you and Miss are really complementary." ”

Hearing this, Chen Siye couldn't help but secretly rub his thoughts: We must complement each other, it is so appropriate to attack each other's weaknesses with my strengths.

"That's right, what Sister Le Xuan is good at is what I lack, my painting is too monotonous, and I hope my sister will give me advice."

Le Xuan said: "Okay, it just so happens that I am also very interested in your painting method, and we will discuss it with each other when we have time." ”

Chen Siye was secretly happy in his heart, there should be more opportunities like this.

Suddenly, he saw a flaw on the painting, so he raised his hand to refine it again, and Le Xuan also leaned over and pointed to the flaw at the same time and said, "It seems to be a little rough here." ”

The two hands touched together, both of them were stunned, and they couldn't help but look at each other and smile, and Le Xuan also withdrew her hand.

On the side, Xiao Tao saw that the two of them found the flaws here at the same time, and couldn't help but say: "It's really a soul..."

Le Xuan glanced at Xiao Tao with disgust, and Xiao Tao playfully stuck out her tongue.

It's just touching her hands, Le Xuan didn't think much about it, but she suddenly felt that something was wrong, it seemed that since Chen Siye touched her hands and feet in the name of stilts, she was not so sensitive to physical contact with him, and even every time she saw him, she would think of the comfort that made him press her feet before, thinking of this, Le Xuan suddenly felt a little ashamed in her heart, and she couldn't help but have a fever on her face.

Chen Siye naturally didn't know what she was thinking, and after finishing the painting, she looked at it carefully before saying, "I'm done painting, and it's up to Sister Le Xuan." ”

It's rare to be thinking about it, Le Xuan didn't hear anything, Chen Siye said it twice in a row, but she didn't react, it was Xiao Tao who shook her arm, and Le Xuan reacted.

Le Xuan blushed slightly and settled down, and asked Xiao Tao to take out the various paints she was carrying and several brushes of different thicknesses and put them on the table, and then began to retouch and color.

In the morning, he stood and painted for two hours, and in the afternoon he painted for almost an hour, Chen Siye was an iron man and couldn't stand it, his back hurt and his neck hurt, so he didn't stand anymore, walked to the side and sat on the chair to massage himself.

However, the doctor does not treat himself, although the technique is all right, but it is always a little uncomfortable to massage himself, seeing that Xiao Tao is standing behind Le Xuan and there is nothing wrong, Chen Siye beckoned: "Xiao Tao, come and help me press my neck, my neck is about to break." ”

However, Xiao Tao just glanced at him and continued to watch Le Xuan draw, ignoring him at all.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Le Xuan ordered: "Go and press Xiao Yezi, it's really tiring to stand like this." "I can only draw while standing, and I can't see the whole picture when I sit down.

Xiao Tao is not sullen at this time

Ledi walked behind Chen Siye and pressed his neck lightly or heavily.

Xiao Tao praised him just now, and this will give him a look on his face again, which makes Chen Siye a little strange Why Xiao Tao has been a little moody in the past two days, but there is no way to ask in front of Le Xuan, so he can only press in his heart and wait for time to ask again.

Although Xiao Tao's technique is not very good, she just feels her tender little hands, and she also makes Chen Siye feel comfortable.

After only letting Xiao Tao press it for a while, Chen Siye asked her to stop and get up to watch Le Xuan's depiction.

It's just coloring and retouching, and it doesn't take so much time, Le Xuan only took an hour to complete it.

Chen Siye, who had been watching, couldn't help but marvel in his heart, although his sketch was already excellent, he always felt that something was missing, and after watching Le Xuan's painting, he realized that his painting was lacking in life.

After all, it's just the experience of the system, and there is no understanding of him, so it's like a dragon without the finishing touch, although the painting is excellent but there is no god, and after Le Xuan's retouching and coloring, the whole painting suddenly seems to be alive.

She also added her own understanding to the painting, and even added a background, making this portrait much more vivid and less monotonous.

After watching it silently for a while, Chen Siye sighed and said: "Sister Le Xuan's painting skills are really perfect, I really didn't expect it." ”

Le Xuan smiled silently, and said to Xiao Tao on the side: "If you know everything, will you still have it?" ”

At this time, Emperor Ji hadn't woken up yet, so a few people naturally wouldn't call him uninterestingly, so they sat on the chair and waited for Emperor Ji to wake up.

Fortunately, I didn't wait long, and I saw Xiao Anzi open the door of the inner room, and Emperor Ji walked out with a bright face.

"Haha, I slept very soundly this night, and before I knew it, it was this hour... Xuan'er and Chen Qing have finished painting? ”

Le Xuan stepped forward and hugged Emperor Ji and said, "Uncle Huang is so happy, he must have had a good dream." ”

Emperor Ji smiled and groaned: "That's true, let Xuan'er and Chen Qing wait for a long time, right?" ”

Le Xuan said: "No, it's also a coincidence, we just finished painting, and Uncle Huang woke up." ”

Saying that, Le Xuan walked to the side of the case with Emperor Ji in his arms, pointed to the portrait and said, "The portrait is here, please take a look at it." ”

As soon as he saw this portrait, Emperor Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, he picked up the painting and looked at it carefully, and Long Yan said with great joy: "Great, wonderful!" Xuan'er and Chen Qing are really a perfect match, this painting can be described as a masterpiece, even my heart, even my heart! ”

Although Emperor Ji's sentence did not mean that the two of them were very suitable, it still made Le Xuan feel a little ashamed, and it also made Chen Siye think about it.

"Xuan'er, you say, how do you want me to reward you?"

"Uncle Huang, look at what you said, it's just a portrait, so you want Uncle Huang to reward you, that Xuan'er is too greedy, and this time it's Xiaoyezi who has contributed a lot, Xuan'er is lazy."

Emperor Ji smiled and said, "In this case, Chen Qing, if this painting can convince the prince and master of the Wu Kingdom in a few days, I will be promoted to your official position again." ”

Hearing this, Chen Siye immediately knelt down and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" But I couldn't help but complain in my heart, how could it be his turn to reward him, and he had to have additional conditions.

The main purpose of entering the palace today is to paint a portrait, at this time, Le Xuan accompanied Emperor Ji to talk again, then got up to ask for his resignation, Emperor Ji seemed to have something to do, so he didn't leave them to eat in the palace.

At this time, it was almost unitary time, so

A few people didn't stay any longer, and went straight out of the palace and returned home.

There was nothing to say all the way, and after returning home, Chen Siye also said goodbye to Le Xuan Xiaotao and went back to his Tingzhuyuan.

But for some reason, along the way, Chen Siye always felt that the eyes of those maids and servants looked at him a little strangely, and he was not as enthusiastic as before, which made him very puzzled.

As soon as he returned to Tingzhuyuan, he saw Xiangling greeted him with an anxious look and said, "Childe! Something is wrong! ”

Seeing Xiangling like this, Chen Siye said curiously: "What's wrong?" Don't panic, if there is anything to do, I will make the decision for you. ”

Xiangling stomped her feet and said urgently: "Oh no! Did you hear any rumors today? ”

"Rumors? No, I entered the palace early this morning, and I just came back, and I didn't hear anything, what the hell is wrong? ”

Xiangling looked behind him, and saw that no one was following, so she pulled him up and walked into the room.

"What are you doing? Also mysterious. Chen Siye was very strange in his heart, and he had to go into the house to talk about gossip.

After entering the house, Xiangling carefully closed the door before saying: "Rumors suddenly spread in the city out of nowhere, saying that the son lives in the county lord's mansion, but in fact, he has something with the county lord... There is a private relationship, and it is very detailed, if it weren't for the fact that we are by the side of the son every day, I am afraid that we will have to believe it, at this time it is already a storm in the city, and even everyone in the house knows about it, what can I do? ”

In fact, the rumors are even more excessive, saying that the two have an adulterous affair or something, how to commit adultery, Xiangling couldn't say it before it changed to a private affair.

As soon as he heard the news, Chen Siye was shocked, he never thought that the hero of the gossip was himself, and he suddenly had no idea, gossip like this is the most difficult to clear, do you want to be wise?

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Siye didn't come up with any ideas, and seeing that Miaozhu didn't come out, he asked, "What about Miaozhu, where did she go?" ”

"Miaozhu went out to inquire about the news, and she should be back soon."

At this moment, Miaozhu's shout came from outside: "Childe! Xiangling! ”

Hearing this, Xiangling hurriedly went out and called Miaozhu into the house, only to see Miaozhu out of breath and said: "Childe! You're back, and now the city is full of rumors slandering you and the county lord! ”

Hearing this, Chen Siye couldn't help but give up the last glimmer of hope, and was still looking forward to Miaozhu coming back with some good news, "What is going on in the city?" ”

Miaozhu had a difficult face, "This..."

"It's okay, just say it, just say it."

Miaozhu hesitated for a moment and told everything she had heard and heard.

After listening to Miaozhu's narration, Chen Siye couldn't help but turn blue, there was more than one version of the rumors in the city, and the rumors were very different, but they were all slandering him and Le Xuan, he was a pig and understood that it was deliberately done by people, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

The two women's faces were also a little unsightly, and they looked at Chen Siye with blank eyes and said, "Son, what should I do?" ”

Chen Siye took a deep breath and said, "Don't panic, the clear ones will clear themselves, I'll go to the county lord to discuss it first." ”

Saying that, he got up and pushed the door out directly, and went straight to Le Xuan's residence, the rumors have spread like that, and there is no need to avoid suspicion.

But when she saw Le Xuan, she was still calm, "What is Xiao Yezi looking for me?" Why are you so angry? ”

Chen Siye patiently said, "Sister Le Xuan, have you heard of rumors in the city?" Looking at her calm appearance now, Chen Siye concluded that she didn't know.
