Chapter 399: Portrait of a Beautiful Woman
Besides, I don't know that the Kannai Post House is staging a big drama at the moment, and the little prince is still singing and dancing in Hannaji's royal tent, celebrating the promotion. Looking at the situation in the king's tent, it seems that the world has been cleared and peaceful, and there will be no more fighting.
Besides, I also sighed in my heart, I hope that the years and months will be like this.
It's a pity that this is impossible, even in the peaceful years, there are disputes, and there are also poor and rich, and it is impossible for them all to enjoy wealth and tranquility like him, a minister.
Qi Jiguang's mind was not here, but he was thinking that he had already let his words out, in case the little prince was really more serious here and brought 10,000 elite horses into the customs, how would he explain to the imperial court? Do you have to bear it?
He only brought 3,000 cavalry to escort the little prince into the customs, and if the little prince brought 10,000 men, it would be a real threat to him.
Of course, the little prince will not do this, even if he destroys all his cavalry, he will not be able to escape the pursuit of the official army, the Tatar iron cavalry is indeed brave, but 10,000 people want to spread wild on the mountains of the Ming Dynasty, that is self-destruction.
Besides, he didn't think about this, he was willing to bring 10,000 more hostages to the little prince, so that there would be 10,000 more hostages, preferably more nobles, and the overall weight of the hostages would be heavier.
What he is most worried about this time is that the final negotiation will not be successful, and he will be detained by the king of Alta, in that case, it will be the best ending to be able to learn Su Wu to shepherd sheep, at least when Su Wu is shepherding sheep, he can also have a free love with a woman of the Huns, and give birth to a son to inherit the incense.
Dongpo once used this incident to illustrate the characteristics of human nature, the so-called easy to endure death, difficult to endure, Su Wu shepherd, heart like iron stone, let the Huns single in every possible temptation and threat, not wavering at all, Li Ling personally came to persuade the surrender but also failed to succeed, holding the Han Festival shepherding for more than ten years, the bison tail hair on the head of the Han Festival was bald, but he could not hold back his lust, "inevitably gave birth to a child for the Hu woman."
Besides, I don't want to have a free love with a dark-faced, rough-skinned bearded woman in the bitter cold place outside the Cypriot one day, and I don't play platonically, it's too palatable.
If the mission brought out of the pass wants to return safely to the pass, it depends on the situation of the Tatar hostages in the hands of the imperial court, and the quantity and quality must be sufficient, and there must be no mistakes.
The imperial court took the little prince and his party as hostages, and the king of Alta also took them as hostages to ensure the safety of the little prince after entering the customs, and the two diplomatic missions were actually hostages of each other.
The same is true for embassies and diplomats in later generations, if you send one, I will send one, and if you detain my people, I will detain your people, and the diplomatic norm is that consulates and personnel are sacrosanct, and all countries abide by this principle, which is nothing more than holding hostages of equal quantity and quality, and both sides have scruples.
Besides, he is very busy now, and the wine, mutton, melons and fruits on his low table have been removed, and they have been replaced by snow-white rice paper, on which he sketches the sketches of foreign beauties, which is the manuscript, and then continue to process on this basis.
Before, he was surrounded by a bunch of beautiful women, all of whom seemed to want to eat him in one bite, begging and begging him to paint himself, and there was no way, so he had to grit his teeth and agree to them all.
These were collected by the little prince from all over the world, just like the maiko team under him, who specialized in performing songs and dances for the amusement of the master and guests.
Besides, everything is complete and waiting to get out, and the mood is also very good, and I can't help but think of my old profession again, I want to paint and write, and my hand addiction is also a little committed.
Here he painted, and the beauties sang and danced more and more vigorously, trying to show the best side of themselves, so that he might paint himself the most beautiful, and then compete for favor before the little prince.
Even if it weren't for this, women were born with this preference, leaving the most beautiful moments of their youth forever, and they could evoke their good memories after many years, and their hearts re-rippled with the sweetness of the year.
This may be the reason why beautiful women like to be painted or photographed the most, and ugly women are not even superfluous in mirrors.
Although the number of these beauties is not large, they almost bring together beauties of all ethnic groups except for Han beauties, and even Arab beauties and Persian beauties, not to mention beauties of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and even two beauties, and it is seriously suspected that they are European beauties, blonde and blue-eyed, and extraordinary.
Does the little prince want to be comparable to the Turkish Sultan? The harem collects beauties from all over the world?
However, the Sultan has a principle that he is not allowed to marry a beautiful woman of his own clan as a concubine.
Compared with the Tatar beauties and the Han beauties, the difference is not very big, just like the difference between the Tatars and the Han people, the same black hair and black eyes, but the facial contours are relatively rough, as if there is no polished finished artwork.
Indeed, man is the most perfect work of art in the world, there is no other species that can be compared, let alone artificially created things, and the further development of science has a limit, and it is impossible to compare with the Creator.
Man is perfect at birth, and then he constantly begins to wear and wear, and in old age, like a car that is about to lie down, it can only stagger around with rough air, and finally completely scrapped.
If human beings were only made by God or Nuwa or any other god, then who made these gods?
If it's all nature's masterpieces? So how did nature come about?
Moreover, the infinite reverie unfolded in my heart, but the pen did not stop at all, and the paper kept rising like a cloud of smoke, and the images of beautiful women jumped on the paper.
The little prince and others have long stopped watching singing and dancing, and they all gathered around him to watch him paint, and I felt that seeing a great painter painting with my own eyes was the greatest blessing and the greatest enjoyment in this life.
"With this painting skill, you can also be a prince." The little prince laughed.
The people around him all smiled bitterly, this master really can't leave this, do you really want to make a prince for his Anda?
Not to mention, if the little prince insists on doing this, it is not impossible, just as it is as easy as trying to get a commander without authority for the little prince.
The control of the princes of the alien race is not very strict, and the tradition of the Han people is too loose, and many generals can be crowned kings to show respect to appease their hearts, so there are Li Ling of the Western Han Dynasty, and later there are Wu Sangui of the Qing Dynasty, Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi Prince of the Three Domains, as long as Su Wu is willing to surrender to the Huns, he is also a prince, and he can marry a Hun princess or something, anyway, there are many Hun princesses.
Qi Jiguang also smiled secretly, in the original Mongolian nationality, * armor has a precedent of being crowned king, and a cook of Kublai Khan is also crowned king, according to this principle, it is not a dream for a painter to be crowned king.
The Han nationality began to strictly enforce the rules of the king from Liu Bang, and he led his troops to eliminate Han Xin, Peng Yue and other three queens of the opposite sex, and swore with the princes that those who were not Liu were not kings, and those who were not military merit were not marquis.
From then on, no matter which family or surname the Han regime abided by this principle, not the royal family, not the emperor's biological son can never be crowned a prince, the prince's son is the county king, and the son of the county king is kicked out of the ranks of the prince. There can only be one place for each branch of the hereditary lineage, otherwise, the land in the whole world is not enough for the prince to grab, then the prince will go all over the land, and the county king is not as good as a dog.
"Do you still need to keep drawing? I think it's already the best. A noble guard said in stiff Chinese.
"Well, this king also thinks so, will it be enough to continue to paint." The little prince laughed.
Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Yunming is a small freehand painting method, and now it is indeed okay." However, he is better at painting oil paintings, which is called earth-shattering ghosts and gods, but it is rare for me to see him paint, and I still borrowed the light of His Highness to see it with my own eyes. ”
"Oh, it's a little freehand, so a big one is better?" The little prince asked with a smile.
Besides, he smiled: "These are two painting methods, I can't say that the one is better, the freehand is also called the splash ink painting method, which is suitable for landscape painting, not suitable for character portraits, and the character portraits are more suitable for small freehand." ”
About an hour later, more than two dozen portraits were completed.
The little prince smiled: "I think this is fine, no need to continue to bother." ”
When the beauties heard this, they all stopped singing and dancing, and ran over to see their portraits, and then compare them with others.
Besides, there is no partiality at all, leaving the most beautiful moment of every beauty on the paper, which can be said to be absolutely beautiful, not the most beautiful.
At this time, he felt that what he was best at might not be acupuncture, but the excavation of beauty, of course, the beauty of beautiful women, not other things.
"Let's take it back first, if you want to paint oil paintings, you have to continue to wait, probably when you come back here from the mainland."
Besides, he signed each painting and smiled.
Unceremoniously, these beauties first retrieved their paintings, and then bowed down to thank them.
Gongbi oil paintings, of course they all want to see how this great talent in Jiangnan uses his housekeeping skills, waiting for that is not a problem at all, they have nothing else, what they have is time and loneliness without recreation.
Besides, looking at these beauties, I seriously suspect that they are all trafficked by human traffickers, maybe Zhuo Maolin has intervened, the Slender Horse family in Yangzhou is a concentration camp and training center for beautiful women, and it is also the largest female slave trafficking organization in the mainland.
But of course he won't ask Zhuo Maolin about this kind of thing, and friends must also be cautious, and they can't test other people's privacy indefinitely.
"Brother, where is my portrait? By the way, I don't want your painting, I want a portrait of me. The little prince was also moved, and also wanted to leave a portrait to pass on to future generations.
In fact, starting from Genghis Khan, each generation of kings has left their own portraits for their descendants to worship and admire, and the Tatar people also have their own royal painters, and the little prince has asked the painter to paint a lot of his own portraits since he was a child, but compared with the painting skills, the painter has to cut off his head.
Now that he is doing Anda, of course he unceremoniously asks for a portrait.
