Mao Yanshou is a well-known figure, and his most famous deed is the crooked melon and cracked jujube painted by Wang Zhaojun, so that she was not favored by Emperor Han Yuan for many years.

Actually, he didn't do anything wrong. The court painter was originally fat.

On this day, Mao Yanshou's new residence in Chang'an City was completed. There is an endless stream of dignitaries and nobles in the capital. Wang Feng, Fu Yan and other relatives of the emperor stepped forward to greet each other.

Wang Feng said to Mao Yanshou: "Thanks to your help over the years, our Wang family is where it is today." ”

Mao Yanshou remembered that many years ago, Wang Feng found him, gave him a box of gold, and said: "Brother, recently my sister is going to participate in Liangdi's draft, you just need to paint your sister beautifully, and when the time comes, she will be selected by His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have a lot of gratitude." ”

"You're welcome. Lord Wang. When the little one was able to enter the palace as a painter, it was also thanks to your help. Otherwise, I'd still be selling paintings on the streets for a living. Mao Yanshou said with a smile.

"Today, I, Wang, want to ask you to draw a portrait of a person." Wang Feng whispered to Mao Yanshou.

"How beautiful you want to paint, just say. As long as Lord Wang says a word, it is okay to paint Xi Shi. Mao Yanshou said with a smile.

"Not necessarily. The person I asked you to draw is not far behind Xi Shi. Wang Feng took out a portrait.

"Isn't this the portrait of Wang Zhaojun I painted back then?" Mao Yanshou sighed.

I saw that the beauty on the painting was full of pockmarks and bloated. "As long as you draw the true appearance of Wang Zhaojun, I will hand it over to Hu Han Evil Shan Yu, and when the time comes, Han and Hun will be reconciled, you will be a great achievement." Wang Feng said with a smile.

"No. Back then, I deliberately painted Wang Zhaojun ugly. It's already a crime of deception. Now it's beautiful again. If His Majesty knows about it. That's too bad. That's a great crime to kill your head! Mao Yanshou was suddenly frightened.

Besides, Hu Han is evil over there. He asked Wu Chanmu: "Father-in-law, King Gu heard that His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has a thin heir, and there is only one daughter, Princess Pingdu. Compared with the pampered habit, if she marries the Huns, what if she is not adapted? ”

"It's too big to worry about. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty would never marry Princess Pingdu. People will only crown a palace maid as a princess, which is shoddy. Wu Chan said.

"This is not a secret in the Huns. Back then, Emperor Gaozu married a palace maid. Only the princess Nangong married by the military minister Shan Yu is the sister of Emperor Xiaowu. The rest of the princesses are fakes. Han people like to do business with shoddy goods. Hu Han Xie Shan Yu said with a smile.

"What does Shan Yu think?" Wu Chanmu wondered.

"King Gu thought that since the Han Dynasty was sincere and friendly, it was inevitable to send the real princess over. Otherwise, how can it be considered a harmony? Han people also pay attention to the right family when they marry. The lone king dominates the north and is powerful in the world. Shouldn't you go to the daughter of the Son of Heaven? Hu Han Ye Shan Yu stroked his beard and boasted.

In modern times, Wang Ming was in the museum, saw Princess Pingdu's clothes, and asked: "Princess Pingdu is the daughter of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, why didn't she marry the Xiongnu and her relatives?" ”

"The Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu are basically fake princesses. Generally, the emperor was reluctant to marry his daughter to the Xiongnu Shan Yu. Tour guide Wang Fang said.

"Isn't Princess Xijun and Princess Hexie, who married to Wusun before, a real princess?" Xiaohong asked.

"Xijun and Xie Wei are not the emperor's daughters, and they belong to the distant branches of the royal family. Especially Princess Xie Wu, her father, King Chu, still committed a capital crime and was exiled to the Western Regions. Tour guide Wang Fang explained.

"It seems that getting along is also a chore. Most of the princesses don't want to go. Xiaohong said.

"It's not like a thing to be close. Not to mention the uprooting. Importantly, you may not understand the Xiongnu dialect yet. However, the Xiongnu Dadanyu had a very high level of sinicization, and it was not a problem to communicate with the princess of the Han Dynasty. But others are not so good to say. Tour guide Wang Fang said.

Besides, Fu Zhaoyi's side. Fu Yan persuaded his sister bitterly: "The Huns call Han Evil Shan Yu and have no heirs. If Princess Pingdu marries in the past, once Shan Yu establishes the grandson of our Fu family as the heir, our Fu family will be a relative of the Huns. ”

"This is the reason. However, do you think that woman Wang Zhengjun will agree to marry Pingdu to the Xiongnu? Their royal family is also a human spirit. This is especially true of Wang Feng. Even if they marry the daughter of the Wang family, they will not marry Pingdu. Fu Zhaoyi said sadly.

At this time, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was also discussing with Wang Zhengjun about making peace with Han Evil Shan Yu.

"Now that we want to conquer the Western Regions, it is very important to be close to Hu Han Evil Shan Yu. I only have one princess in Pingdu, so how can I be willing to marry the Huns. Emperor Han Yuan cried.

"Your Majesty. The Huns called Han Evil Shan Yu's requirement that as long as the princess was genuine. You're going to have to make a decision. In order to unite with Zhi Zhi, King Kangju can marry his own daughter. Your Majesty needs to endure the pain of love. Wang Zhengjun said slightly.

"Shut up. Princess Pingdu is not your biological daughter. Of course you don't feel distressed. Emperor Han Yuan almost cried.

"Your Majesty, ordinary people pay attention to the right people to marry. Hu Han Evil Shan Yu is also a Xiongnu royal family. If you marry him and are found out by him, it will be a military disaster. Wang Zhengjun said.

Emperor Han Yuan said: "Empress, we can explain to Hu Han Xie Dan Yu." Princess Pingdu is still young, and currently only other adult princesses can marry. I can say that the princess is the queen's own daughter. Or find the daughters of other clans. For example, the king of Huaiyang, the daughter of the king of Chu. ”

At the same time, the king of Huaiyang, who was rushing to the capital, received a message from Zhang Bo: "Your Majesty wants to choose the daughter of the clan to marry the Xiongnu Huhan Evil Shan Yu." King Huaiyang was stunned. He thought to himself: Then wouldn't it be possible for me to be the father-in-law of Hu Han Evil Shan Yu.

Then, he turned around and ordered: "The situation has changed, return to the fiefdom." ”

The soldiers turned and went back the way they came.

Besides, the king of Chu who went halfway.

When the king of Chu heard that Emperor Yuan was going to choose the daughter of the clan to marry Huhan Evil Shan Yu, he was immediately overjoyed, and he said to Xiangguo: "Let's withdraw from the army." When they returned to China, they were ready to deal with the officials of the DPRK and China. The widow fought for my daughter to become the great clan of the Huns. ”

Xiangguo said: "King, I'm afraid things are not so simple. Queen Wang will not agree that His Royal Highness's daughter will marry Da Shan Yu. ”

"So you have to withdraw from the army first, and then go up and down when you return home." The king of Chu said.

So Sangkook ordered the troops to retreat. The soldiers scattered all over the mountains returned the way they came.

Zhi Zhishan heard that the Han Dynasty was going to make peace with Hu Han Evil Shan Yu, and he was immediately angry and scolded: "Brother Ji Hou Shan wants to be the son of the Han Emperor now." actually wanted to marry the princess of the Han Dynasty. Why doesn't the Lone King have this blessing? ”

"You dare." Kangju princess Yese broke in. "The Great Clan has misunderstood, the Lone King didn't mean that." Zhi Zhishan Yu hurriedly explained.

"Big Order. If you really want to marry the princess of the Han Dynasty, I won't stop you. It's just that I can't be allowed to be a concubine. Yese roared.

Outside the camp tent, a group of soldiers were watching Zhi Zhishan Yu's jokes. "Big orders are afraid of the original." The centurion laughed.

"What nonsense?" The military advisor Wei Lu appeared behind the centurion, and he was colored.

The words are divided into two ends, and then talk about Mao Yanshou's side. He said to his wife: "Actually, I didn't want to make Wang Zhaojun ugly back then, but you also know that the rules of the court are like this. If you draw a poor girl like Wang Zhaojun, it is too beautiful. Once she gains power, the queen will definitely dispose of me. ”

"Then the husband doesn't have to suffer. As long as you paint her beautifully and hand over the painting to Huhan Evil Shan Yu, it can be regarded as atonement. Mrs. Mao said.

"But once Your Majesty sees Wang Zhaojun at the Harmony Ceremony, our family will be beheaded all over the house." Mao Yanshou cried.

"Not necessarily. Your Majesty has seen so many portraits of women, you must have forgotten who Wang Zhaojun is! Mrs. Mao comforted herself.

"That's hard to say. If His Majesty finds that such a stunning beauty has never been lucky, he will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly. Once I check the portrait of Wang Zhaojun in the palace archives, then I will be miserable. Mao Yanshou cried bitterly.

"Knowing today. Why bother in the first place? Husband. Mrs. Mao said.

A few days later, Mao Yanshou took out a portrait of Wang Zhaojun and gave it to Wang Feng.

Wang Feng opened it and looked at it, and was shocked, and said: "Such a beauty, it's a pity to marry this old man from Huhan Yedan." ”

"Could it be that General Wang wants this beauty?" Mao Yanshou joked.

"I'm not blessed." Wang Feng couldn't help but say sadly.

So, can Wang Zhaojun's portrait really be delivered to Huhan Evil Shan Yu's hands? Will Fu Zhaoyi, the King of Chu, the King of Huaiyang and other forces stand idly by?
