Now everyone knows that Leng Yi has been in the palace to help the emperor figure out how to embroider beauties.

Zhao Guangyi is lustful, and these important ministers also know it, so they don't think it's strange, they are a little strange that the emperor actually let Leng Yi, the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion, serve as his own personal guard with a knife, which shows his favor for Leng Yi. Many people began to wake themselves up to the fact that they must find an opportunity to get closer to the celebrity around the emperor.

Zhao Guangyi continued: "Leng Yi has an urgent matter that hasn't come yet, so let the embroidery girl come out first and explain to everyone how this embroidery is done." I know that the ladies and princesses here must be very interested, and although you Aiqing are not good at female workers, after listening to it, go back and show off with your ladies and daughters-in-law, and have a good time. ”

So everyone laughed.

Wang Jien hurriedly gestured to the maid who was waiting next to him, and a palace maid bowed her head in shame. It is the embroidered lady rain.

Yusi first kowtowed to the official Zhao Guangyi, and then gave blessings to everyone present. Then he stood next to the embroidery and began to explain.

She was already shy, and it was the first time she spoke in front of the emperor and so many princes, ministers, concubines, and princesses, she was very nervous, so she could only keep her head down, and her voice was trembling, but she slowly smoothed out when she spoke, after all, it was something she had experienced: "This embroidery is actually mainly the credit of Lord Leng Yi and Lord Leng." Because only he can draw a very realistic painting, even a lot of hair and eyebrows, really exactly like a real person. This kind of ability can't be painted by other painters at all. He also taught us how to draw his drawings as embroidery specimens, which was completely different from the previous copying, using different shades of shadow to show the three-dimensionality, and also paying attention to perspective and so on. We've never heard of anything we've ever heard of. Master Leng taught us for a long time, and we barely learned it. Then I thought about how to use different colors of silk threads to express the light and dark colors of the painting. This is actually very simple, because Mr. Leng's paintings are very realistic, and the colors are the same as real people, we only need to choose the corresponding color of the silk thread. ”

Everyone began to whisper, they had never seen such a painting, and they didn't believe that anyone could paint a portrait exactly like a real person, and even had no less than one hair and eyebrows, which was incredible. I thought to myself, it must be this embroidery girl exaggerating. However, when they looked closely at the embroidered portrait, they realized that every hair was so realistic. I also think what the embroidery lady said is somewhat credible.

In this way, everyone is a little confused, is there really a painting technique in this world that is exactly as realistic as a real person?

After the rain had quieted down, she began to introduce the stitches and threads used in embroidery. She has been told by Wang Jien to delay as much time as possible, and to say that at least one meal will take more than one meal. So, she said it very carefully. The stitching method from head to toe is explained in detail with threads. Listening to the crowd was drowsy. They didn't understand this, so they were naturally not interested, but seeing that Emperor Zhao Guangyi seemed to listen to it with relish, he didn't interrupt her explanation in the slightest, so he had to listen hard. How did they know that the official family was not interested in Yusi's explanation, but cooperated with the delay so that Leng Yi, who was hiding behind, could calmly "depict" Mrs. Hua Rui's flower-like face.

Yusi said that she had worked for two meals, and she didn't know if she had enough time, and she was still talking over and over again, and a few naughty little princes and princesses had already begun to yawn.

And at this moment, Wang Jien saw that Leng Yi had quietly come out of the corner door of the back hall, nodded at him slightly, and knew that the matter had been done, so he coughed lightly and glanced at the official Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi turned his head to look at the corner gate, and when he saw Leng Yi coming out, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Leng Aiqing is here, okay, let him talk about it again!" ”

The rain hurriedly stopped, and Fuli stepped aside.

Zhao Guangyi beckoned Leng Yi over and introduced: "This is Leng Yi, my imperial guard and Kaifeng Mansion's pusher. That is, the founder of this embroidery! ”

Leng Yi shook his head and said, "Weichen greets all the princes, mothers, and princesses. Humble to all of you! ”

Everyone smiled and nodded, after all, this is a character grandly launched by the official family, that is, what do you think of him in your heart, but you also have to give the official family face and face it with a smile.

Leng Yi noticed that among the people present, there were three who were very interested in observing themselves carefully, one was a little prince who was about thirteen or fourteen years old, one was a white-bearded old minister, and the other was Mrs. Hua Rui.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Zhao Guangyi didn't want to spend more time on the embroidery, and said to Leng Yi: "You simply told them about this embroidery, to put it simply, I saw that many people's minds were on the lantern anagram, waiting to get my reward!" ”

The crowd laughed. Especially a few naughty little princes and princesses, they giggled even more.

Leng Yi hurriedly agreed, and after Tuan Tuan made a gesture, he said: "My painting, it is not clear in a few words, if you are interested, you can ask me separately, and I will answer in detail, is it better?" ”

Zhao Guangyi nodded and said, "That's fine!" Let's start watching the lanterns and guessing the riddles! ”

With a cheer, the young princes and princesses all ran to the lanterns, staring at the anagrams on the lanterns with excited eyes and began to guess hard, trying to be the first to guess. The old ministers are all old-fashioned, but such festivals are all lively, although they don't fancy the reward, but they also have to make an interesting look, twisting nonsense and looking at the lantern anagram one by one.

Zhao Tingmei smiled and was about to come over to talk to Leng Yi, but was preempted by the thirteen or fourteen-year-old little prince, and stepped forward to say to Leng Yi: "Lord Leng! ”

Wang Jien on the side hurriedly introduced Leng Yi: "This is His Royal Highness Prince Yuanzuo. ”

Leng Yi hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Weichen greets His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhao Yuanzuo waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite!" He looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Lord Leng, you come with me, I have something to tell you alone!" With that, he turned and walked out the door.

Leng Yi hurriedly followed, and when he arrived at the corridor, Zhao Yuanzuo saw that no one was following, so he took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Leng Yi, and said in a low voice: "This is a letter written by an old man to Li Yu, the Duke of Longxi." I know that Li Yu and his wife are guests at your house at this moment, please transfer it on your behalf. ”

Leng Yi didn't know what happened before, that day the crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo and the second prince Zhao Yuanxi mistook (at this time his name should be Zhao Deming, later changed his name to Zhao Yuanyou, and finally changed his name to Zhao Yuanxi, in order to keep it from messing up, so they used the last name Zhao Yuanxi) The two of them pretended to be in the name of their father Zhao Guangyi, and tricked Xiao Zhouhou into going to the mansion of the second prince Zhao Yuanxi to accompany them to eat, drink, play and sing. In fact, someone really wrote a letter to Li Yu and his wife, asking the prince Zhao Yuanzuo to pass it on his behalf. Therefore, when Xiao Zhouhou was about to leave, Zhao Yuanzuo went to get the letter to her, but Zhao Yuanxi was drunk and confused, trying to rape Xiao Zhouhou. After being angry Xiao Zhou, he almost pinched his eggs.

After Xiao Zhou left, Zhao Yuanzuo scolded his younger brother severely. Because of this incident, he has been embarrassed to come to the door to hand over the letter, so he delayed it for a few days, originally wanted to wait until the Lantern Festival on the day of the Lantern Festival Li Yu and his wife came to participate in the Lantern Festival, and then handed it over to them in person, but he didn't think that this time for the Lantern Festival, his father did not invite Li Yu and his wife. sent someone to inquire and got Li Yu and his wife to be guests at Leng Yi's house, so he wanted Leng Yi to transfer it on his behalf.

Leng Yi hurriedly took the letter and said, "Weichen will transfer it to them as soon as he goes back." ”

The crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo nodded, and said in a low voice: "You also bring a word to Mrs. Zheng Guo for me by the way, just say ......, just say ......, well, just say sorry for my second brother." ”

Leng Yi was slightly stunned, but he didn't ask anything to say sorry. Just nodded and agreed.

The prince glanced at Leng Yi apologetically, and said, "I'm really sorry to ask you to make amends for us, please eat and drink another day to thank you." ”

Leng Yilian said that he didn't dare to be.

The two returned to the noisy lobby, Leng Yi glanced at the dragon chair, but did not see the emperor Zhao Guangyi, a little strange, looked around, the huge hall was brightly lit, the laughter was endless, and sometimes there were naughty little princes and princesses chasing and frolicking past.

His gaze slowly searched, and finally, at the corner door leading to the back hall that was relatively dim without hanging lanterns, he saw Emperor Zhao Guangyi.

His assassin was blocking the corner gate door with his chubby body. Facing him sideways was the flower-like Lady Stamen. Zhao Guangyi seemed to be talking to Mrs. Hua Rui, to be precise, Zhao Guangyi was talking alone, and Madame Hua Rui was just listening with her eyes down.

However, when Leng Yi came in, Mrs. Hua Rui seemed to notice it, she looked up inadvertently, and when she saw Leng Yi at the gate, she actually smiled slightly.

This smile was immediately discovered by Zhao Guangyi, since the death of his brother Zhao Kuangyin, he had never seen Mrs. Hua Rui smile. Of course, he didn't have much chance to meet Madame Blossom. Because Mrs. Hua Rui lives in the Buddha hall and does not see outsiders. Now seeing that Mrs. Hua Rui actually smiled, Zhao Guangyi was surprised and delighted, and followed her gaze, but saw Leng Yi and the crown prince Zhao Yuanzuo coming in from outside. Zhao Yuanzuo never smiled when Mrs. Hua Rui saw it before, presumably if it wasn't for him, then there was only Leng Yi.

Why did she smile at Leng Yi? Zhao Guangyi is also a very strategist, and when he rolled his eyes, he remembered the way Mrs. Hua Rui carefully observed the embroidered portrait just now, and immediately knew that Mrs. Hua Rui must have a strong interest in Leng Yi's special painting talent. - She wants to ask Leng Yi for advice, and then draw a realistic portrait of her deceased husband Meng Chang!

After guessing this, Zhao Guangyi immediately had an idea to approach Mrs. Hua Rui, so he smiled and said to Madame Hua Rui: "My imperial guard Leng Yi is here, Niang Niang is leaving slowly, how about meeting this talented guard of mine?" ”

Mrs. Hua Rui is the concubine of Zhao Guangyi's brother Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Guangyi should call her the imperial sister-in-law. However, he deliberately avoided this ethical term and used the usual "Niangniang" title just for future plans.

Madame Blossom didn't look at him, hesitated slightly, and nodded slightly.

After Zhao Guangyi announced the start of the lantern appreciation and riddles, Mrs. Hua Rui was about to retire, and persuaded him all the way to the corner gate where he went out, and had to block the place with his body, because he knew that Mrs. Hua Rui was gone, and he didn't know that Ma Yue would see her flowery face in the Year of the Monkey.

But no matter how Zhao Guangyi persuaded him, Mrs. Hua Rui insisted on leaving, and when Zhao Guangyi was helpless, when he saw Leng Yi coming in, he had nothing to say, and introduced Leng Yi to Mrs. Hua Rui, the purpose was to keep her, but she didn't expect her to agree, so he was really overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned Leng Yi to come over and made an introduction. Leng Yi hurriedly bowed and greeted. Mrs. Hua Rui returned the salute and said softly: "Lord Leng's Danqing Wonderful Pen, it is a real magic skill." Admirable! ”

Leng Yi hurriedly humbled a few words.

Mrs. Hua Rui said: "This palace also loves Danqing, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to get the guidance of adults?" ”

"Don't dare to be, the mother is polite."

Mrs. Hua Rui could hear that Leng Yi was just polite, but she didn't mean to agree, so she glanced at Zhao Guangyi next to her.

This glance, in fact, did not have any color, but it hooked out Zhao Guangyi's soul, and looked at her dumbfounded.

Madame Blossom frowned slightly and looked away. Zhao Guangyi suddenly fell down like a tall building, looked at Mrs. Hua Rui in despair, and sighed in his heart: she is sad and lost, she is so beautiful, if she smiles, how beautiful should it be?

Wang Jien next to him coughed lightly, which woke Zhao Guangyi up from his distraction, and he coughed heavily, shyly rubbed his fat belly, and said to Leng Yi: "Leng Aiqing, since Niangniang wants to learn your painting techniques, you can explain to Niangniang." Then he winked at Leng Yi, meaning that he would agree.

Leng Yi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes!" Weichen's carving insect skills, if the mother can see it, she knows everything, and she has endless words. ”

Mrs. Hua Rui bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you so much, I will ask the adults for advice instead." Immediately, he turned to look at Zhao Guangyi, and said, "Official, the concubine is unwell, so she will retire first!" ”

Where is Zhao Guangyi willing to let the beauty go like this, but he knows that he can't keep Mrs. Hua Rui, and it is already a miracle that Mrs. Hua Rui can stay for so long, mainly because Leng Yi's realistic embroidery attracted her. Therefore, if you want to keep her, you can only rely on Leng Yi.

Zhao Guangyi hurriedly said: "Since Niangniang admires Leng Aiqing's painting skills, why don't you ask for advice or two now, his painting, I can be said to be peerless!" I'm afraid that this kind of magic skill can't be learned once or twice. Niangniang should take advantage of all opportunities to ask Lord Leng for advice. ”

Madame Blossom looked a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Zhao Guangyi hurriedly glanced at Leng Yi and asked him to keep Mrs. Hua Rui.

Leng Yi smiled and said: "What the official said is right, Weichen's painting techniques are indeed different from others, and he will not be able to learn them for a while." However, today is the Lantern Festival, the beautiful scenery of the good day, it is not appropriate to talk about the painting in detail, denying that others have heard it, and it seems that Weichen is showing off in public, which is annoying. ”
