Chapter Eighty-One: The Contest (Final)

High in the sky, the sun has become an orange ball like egg yolk, and the sun's halo dyes the whole world and the sky with a dim yellow.

Because the competition has ended, most of the people in Wenqu Yuan have left, and most of the rest are men and women chatting happily by the Wenqu Pool. The Wenhui competition is for those top talents, and for others, it is a rare opportunity to find a spouse.

Wenqu Garden, an attic at the back of the square, the door number of the attic reads 'Wenqu Pavilion' This attic belongs to the special area of Wenqu Garden, and outsiders are not allowed to enter on weekdays.

Today, Jing Zetian won the first prize in the Wenhui and was invited by the director of Wenqu Yuan to enter the first story, in fact, the main purpose was to transfer the winning reward to Jing Zetian.

Zhao Su, Li Shishi, Qiu Xiang and Yang Zhanfei entered the attic with Jing Zetian. As soon as Jing Zetian and others entered the attic, they were attracted by the decoration in the attic, this attic is two-storey, the spacious hall on the first floor, the hall is surrounded by huge windows, the lighting effect is very good, now the sky is dusk, the attic is still very bright. Different from other places, around the hall on the first floor, there are densely hung various scrolls of calligraphy and painting, and there is a faint fragrance of ink wafting in the air in the whole hall.

In the middle of the hall, a large collapse was also built, the collapse is a rectangle, three feet high from the ground, made of bricks and stones, covered with rare animal fur, very comfortable, Zhao Chongde, Kong Xiang and other five judges just now are sitting on it drinking tea and chatting happily.

Zhao Chongde saw the arrival of Jing Zetian and the others, quickly got up and got off the seat, walked in front of Jing Zetian, bent down and said politely: "The situation was special just now, so the old minister did not greet His Highness, and I hope His Highness will not blame." ”

"Hehe, it's a good thing that Lord Zhao didn't reveal my identity, otherwise this competition would be boring." Jing Zetian said with a smile, and at the same time gently helped Zhao Chongde, who was bending down and saluting, with both hands. According to the etiquette system, Zhao Chongde needs to give face to the royal family, so he salutes Jing Zetian, but in terms of power and the influence of the court, Jing Zetian is far from enough.

The other four people on the collapse also followed Zhao Chongde and walked down the collapse, Kong Xiang looked at Jing Zetian with a smile, Yan Shigu's expression was full of curiosity, only Ji Fang and Liang Luowen didn't know Jing Zetian's identity, and they were a little confused at the moment.

"Hello Mr. Kong." Jing Zetian saw Kong Xiang coming over and took the lead in saluting.

"Your Highness, I am really amazed by the old man today." Kong Xiang's voice was still full of excitement at the moment.

"This young man turned out to be the prince?" Ji Fang asked incredulously.

"Yes, it's the sixth prince of my Dahua, and it's also the old man's personal student." Kong Xiang said to Ji Fang in a daze. He and Ji Fang had been competing with each other a lot before because of the students, and this time he finally won a big way.

"What! When did you old man have a disciple? Ji Fang was confused at the moment.

"It's just these two days, Your Majesty personally decreed it." Kong Xiang put his hands behind his back, tilted his face upwards forty-five degrees, and said casually.

"Hey, I didn't expect it, you old man Kong picked up a treasure this time." Ji Fang reluctantly accepted the reality.

Jing Zetian was very interesting to watch the two old doctors fighting gently, which was very funny.

Liang Luowen's identity is not very noble, but he is also a great Confucian in the world, and his prestige among the literati is no less than that of a doctor in Taixue. At this moment, after he knew Jing Zetian's identity, his expression did not fluctuate much, and he took out a scroll from the cabinet next to the hall and handed it to Jing Zetian.

"Your Highness, this painting was carefully created by Master Yan, you won the competition today, and this painting is yours." Liang Luowen cautiously handed the scroll to Jing Zetian, Jing Zetian was not polite, took it directly, and prepared to give it to Li Shishi for a while.

"Hehe, my painting is given to His Royal Highness, and there is a feeling of playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong." Yan Shigu said out loud. Ever since he saw Jing Zetian's sketches, his heart couldn't be calm, and he wanted to know where Jing Zetian had learned this painting method. Of course, he didn't consider that this was Jing Zetian's originality.

"Master Yan is polite, the master's painting is something I have always wanted to study." Jing Zetian said modestly. Yan Shigu has been painting all his life, and in many details, he is still stronger than Jing Zetian, and Jing Zetian's advantage is vision and innovation.

"The old man wants to know where His Highness learned this painting method, and after seeing His Highness's painting just now, he has been reluctant to give up on this painting method." Yan Shigu said expectantly.

"I have nothing to figure out this painting method, it's not early today, I have to go back to the palace early, I'm free another day, Master Yan can find me, I will give Master Yan detailed guidance." Jing Zetian said without modesty. A generation of masters asked him for advice, which made him feel very happy, anyway, he has already made such a big splash today, and he doesn't mind being in the limelight again.

At this moment, the people in the attic, when they heard the conversation between Jing Zetian and Yan Shigu, at first they thought it was a normal polite remark, but when they knew that the painting method that Yan Shigu praised was actually created by Jing Zetian himself, they must know that the difficulty of creating a painting method is very different from learning a painting method. After knowing the real situation, they all have their own tastes in their hearts.

'I, Zhao Su, thought that I had a talent and talent among my peers, and it was difficult to have an opponent, but I didn't expect to meet an existence that made me not even have the courage to compete. Zhao Su thought bitterly

What does it mean that there is such a wonderful young man in the world, and he drew me on a scroll of paper? Li Shishi thought blankly.

……

"Okay, it's not early, I'm going back to the palace, you guys say goodbye." Jing Zetian arched his hand and said to everyone. "Oh, by the way, I'm going to take my last painting with me, I know your rules, but this painting works for me, I'm welcome." Jing Zetian remembered something and continued.

Wenqu Yuan has a rule, after the Wenhui competition, in the competition, some good works will be taken back by Wenqu Yuan, placed in the hall of this attic, and now the calligraphy and painting hanging everywhere in the hall are all excellent works in the Wenhui competition, which is an ancient version of the calligraphy and painting exhibition.

"Well, it's okay, Your Highness can take it with you, this is not mandatory." Liang Luowen said brightly. At the same time, he glanced at Li Shishi, who was standing there quietly, and didn't know what he was thinking.

There is also Zhao Chongde who always glances at Li Shishi from time to time, originally Zhao Chongde wanted his son Zhao Su and Li Shishi to get closer, and maybe they can get married in the future, Li Shishi's father Li Yuanshang is not a member of the family, he also holds the position of Shangshu in the court, and he is also very doted on Li Shishi, many nobles of the family are paying attention to Li Shishi, so it is also a powerful help in the court.

Zhao Chongde, as the manager of a family, naturally has a good look, through what Jing Zetian did today, nine times out of ten it is Jing Zetian's intention to Li Shishi, this discovery made his immaturity directly ruined, and now he is not willing to compete with the emperor for a daughter-in-law, in that case, it will cause the emperor to be suspicious, after all, the power of his Zhao family is already very strong, and everything must be cautious.
