Li Er returned to the Lizheng Hall after receiving the worship of the hundred officials in the Taiji Palace, and was playing with the eldest grandson Empress teasing the little son at this time.

After the New Year, the little son will be five years old, because of the arrival of Wang Xiang, the eldest grandson queen spent ten years of Zhenguan, the little son was free from the pain of losing his mother, and he was very happy under the teasing of Li Er and the eldest grandson.

When Wang Xiang and Li Zhi came over, they heard Li Er's cheerful laughter from inside the Lizheng Palace, it seemed that Li Er's mood was very good, and Wang Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he doesn't have much fear of Li Er now, being reprimanded for the New Year will always affect his good mood.

gave Li Er and Empress Changsun a big gift, and said a few words of blessing, Empress Changsun is always gentle and elegant, smiling, Li Er also rarely did not have a straight face, and said lightly: "Why didn't you enter the palace to worship today?" ”

Wang Xiang didn't know the custom of 100 officials entering the palace to worship at the beginning of the new year, but he naturally wouldn't say that he didn't know.

"The official position is low, and he is not qualified to enter the palace to worship."

Li Er was stunned when he heard this, and Empress Changsun pursed her lips and chuckled, according to the system, the official position judged by Wang Xiang's Gewu Academy was indeed not qualified to enter the palace to worship on the first day.

"Is the official too small? Which Wupin official can come and go in and out of the palace at will like you? ”

Yes, don't argue in front of Li Er, what he says is what he says.

Wang Xiang obediently bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "It was the minister's negligence." ”

Li Er nodded with satisfaction: "What sketch did you draw in the Yiguo Mansion yesterday, I told the queen that the queen was very curious, and I happened to be free today, so you can draw two more sketches for the queen to see." ”

After listening to Li Er's words, Wang Xiang secretly said in his heart: Sure enough. I have long known that there are two things that cannot be avoided when entering the palace today.

I'm afraid that the queen's curiosity is secondary. Li Er's own desire to paint a portrait is the main reason. After helping Wei Chi Jingde and Qin Qiong paint sketches and portraits yesterday, Wang Xiang felt Li Er's thoughts, and sure enough, as soon as he entered the palace today, he let himself draw sketches and portraits, and said that the queen was curious and secretly despised it.

Fortunately, knowing Li Er's virtue, he had already prepared, Wang Xiang said unhurriedly: "Carving insect skills, since the queen mother is curious, she will sacrifice her ugliness again." ”

Seeing that Wang Xiang didn't push back, he agreed very well. Li Er nodded with satisfaction and said, "I asked someone to prepare new paper and charcoal for the Gewu Academy. ”

"No need, the ministers are ready."

When Wang Xiang entered the palace, he prepared new paper and charcoal from the Gewuyuan.

Li Er was stunned for a moment, and then saw Wang Xiang take out new paper and charcoal and immediately understood that Wang Xiang had already known his thoughts, and couldn't help but blush, coughed dryly and said: "You can practice sketching at any time with paper and pencil with you, no wonder you can have this attainment in sketching." ”

Hearing him say this, Wang Xiang despised it even more in his heart, who would be fine to walk around with paper and pen during the New Year, not because we know you.

Empress Changsun smiled and said nothing, although it was mainly Li Erxiang's portrait. However, she is also a little interested in Li Ershuo's sketches.

"Wang Jiancheng, is the portrait you painted really exactly the same as a real person?" The little son has a gentle and quiet temperament. I usually like to write and draw, and I heard that there is a kind of painting skill that can draw portraits with stones, just like real people, so I am naturally very curious.

Li Zhi's little ghost also leaned over and looked at the black charcoal pen in Wang Xiang's hand and wondered: "How does this look like the coal used to burn the fire in the Gewu Academy." ”

Wang Xiang smiled: "This is coal, but it is just the shape of a pen that people polish into a pen." ”

"Huh? Can coal be used for painting in addition to fire? ”

"Just draw it and see it."

Under Li Er's instructions, the maids moved the small table that the little son usually used to practice calligraphy, and Wang Xiang laid out the new paper and asked, "What does Your Majesty want to draw?" ”

Actually, it's just a question.

Li Ermian did not change his color and said: "Just draw me." ”

Wang Xiang was about to open his mouth to ask Li Er to sit down and not move, but saw him get up and walk inside.

After a while, he came out of it again, it turned out that he had changed his clothes, Li Er was wearing civilian clothes just now, and now he was wearing luxurious and exquisite court clothes.

After changing his clothes, Li Erda sat on it with a serious face, and Wang Xiang was secretly amused, he looked like a person taking pictures for the first time in front of the camera.

"Your Majesty, don't be too nervous, relax a little."

Of course Li Er is not nervous, he can not change his face in front of thousands of troops, how can he be nervous because of a portrait, the painter in the palace does not know how many times he painted a portrait, the reason why he put on such a serious expression is completely to show the majesty of the emperor, but this majesty is similar to the nervous appearance in Wang Xiang's opinion, it is all tense and unnatural.

Sketching pays attention to the restoration of the real thing, if it is really restored to Li Er's appearance, it looks like a likeness, but Li Er will definitely not be satisfied, and will think that he deliberately painted him ugly, and appropriate adjustment is necessary.

"Don't be so serious on your face, be natural."

"Your Majesty, can you smile a little?"

"Forget it, you better stop laughing."

……

Watching Li Er's expression on his face change under Wang Xiang's "guidance", Xiao Zizi and Li Zhi couldn't help but smile, and even the eldest grandson queen couldn't help laughing, it was the first time they saw Li Er's rich expression.

In the end, the handsome guy Li couldn't stand it anymore, his face stiffened, and he said angrily: "How can there be so many things, the painters in the palace didn't have such trouble painting me before!" ”

Wang Xiang said unhurriedly: "Then does Your Majesty think the portraits they painted are like?" ”

If Li Er had been like it before, he would definitely feel like it, but since he saw the sketches drawn by Wang Xiang for Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde, he knew that the portraits painted by those painters were really "god-like, not similar".

If the sketches painted by Wang Xiang are ninety or even ten images of real people, the portraits drawn by those painters are only two or three images in Li Er's eyes.

There was no way, remembering that Wang Xiang had also fiddled with Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde for a while when he sketched them, Li Er had no choice but to snort dissatisfiedly and continue to sit back to accept Wang Xiang's "training".

Being able to train Li Er like this can also make him not angry, Wang Xiang feels a great sense of accomplishment, and his heart is secretly refreshed.

However, as soon as Li Er sat down, he had a serious expression, no matter how he trained him, Wang Xiang really wanted to cry without tears, and said with a depressed face: "Your Majesty, why do you have to put on a serious expression as soon as you sit down......

Li Er was also depressed, it wasn't usually like this, but it was naturally like this when he painted a portrait, and he couldn't change it when he got used to it, and he was suddenly dissatisfied: "This is the majesty of the emperor." ”

"Then can you put away your imperial majesty for a while?"
