193. 45 Drawing Contest
Hua Qingmo looked at Yu Wenjun with a peaceful gaze, and the corners of her lips had a quiet smile as always. In terms of painting, she must not be able to win against Yu Wenjun, but she has her own way to deal with Yu Wenjun, even if she can't win her, she won't lose too badly.
Seeing Hua Qingmo smiling so gently and calmly, Yu Wenjun couldn't help but feel a trace of confusion in his heart. Her painting skills have reached the level of the world's first-class painters, and even the painter saint sighed to himself when he saw her paintings. She has also heard from other people's mouths about the paintings made by Hua Qingmo, and the painters must be incomparable with her, but the matter of attracting butterflies and fireflies is too rare, so it will be unforgettable. But everything is silent in winter, and I am afraid that there is nothing that can attract her with fragrance. I really want to know, how does Hua Qingmo compete with herself at this time?
"Princess Xiao thinks this is good? We each went to the palace on one side to paint, and after an hour we met here, so that the people who came to see the lanterns today would decide. Yu Wenjun laughed lightly, with unspeakable confidence in his eyes.
When Hua Qingmo heard this, she shook her head slightly, and said, "Miss Wenjun has excellent painting skills and skilled brushwork, so naturally it is enough to paint in one hour." It takes time for Qingmo to paint, at least two hours, I wonder if Miss Wenjun can wait? ”
"Naturally, it's time to wait, after all, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival can only be truly enjoyable after nightfall." Yu Wenjun smiled confidently, her beautiful face was like a red cotton blooming in spring, red as blood, blooming wantonly, with a kind of proud beauty of branches.
Yu Wenjun's words made Hua Qingmo nod slightly, she glanced at Yu Wenjun, and said clearly: "That is the case, Qingmo went to the palace on the side to paint." ”
After speaking, Hua Qingmo's eyes looked at Chu Yanqian and asked, "Cousin, cousin has something to ask for, can you help?" ”
"Nature, cousin is curious about what you are going to do?" Chu Yanqian's smile was casual and lazy, and there was a little mildness in his evil voice. He is dressed in green clothes, fluttering clothes, left behind and independent, and has a handsome style that thousands of men will never reach.
Regarding Chu Yanqian's doubts, Hua Qingmo just smiled slightly, without any words to explain, and then she looked at Chu Yunhua and Hua Minzhi, and said with a faint smile: "Brother, Sister Wan, the two of you also come to help Mo'er, the painting made by Mo'er is a little troublesome, and the time for two hours is just barely enough." ”
"You just have to speak, and my brother will naturally help you." Hua Minzhi nodded slightly, and her words were full of pampering and softness.
And Chu Yunhua also nodded lightly, with a gentle smile like moonlight on her stunning facial features, extremely elegant, and her voice was as quiet and pleasant as a willow brushing across the water in spring: "Although Mo'er speaks, Sister Wan will help you." ”
"That's the best, let's go paint!" After Hua Qingmo finished speaking, the four of them left from Tianze Lake and walked to the palace on the side.
Looking at the backs of Hua Qingmo and the four of them, Yu Wenjun suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, and after a moment of silence, she looked at Ling Yanxi on the side and said, "Sister Yanxi, can you follow Princess Xiao and the four of them to have a look?" She knew that the painter was too poor for me, but she was still so calm, Wen Jun felt that she must have to play some tricks. ”
"What Sister Wenjun said is very true, my sister will go and take a look, lest this woman play tricks." After Ling Yanxi finished speaking, he followed Hua Qingmo and the others, and Yu Wenjun also walked to the palace on the other side.
When she arrived in the palace, Hua Qingmo first took out a row of silver needles from her body and put it on the table, and then asked people to prepare paints, and after taking a qiē to it, she looked at Chu Yanqian, her smile was as bright as tomorrow, brilliant, and extremely bright and moving.
Looking at this smile, Chu Yanqian suddenly felt a chill in his back, and he had a hunch that this Hua Qingmo was not asking him to help this time, but to harm him. Unconsciously took a step back, Chu Yanqian's tone changed slightly: "Cousin, why do you look at this son of the world like this?" ”
"Cousin, don't ask more, take off your clothes!" Hua Qingmo still smiled brightly, and her voice was extremely soft.
As soon as he heard this, Chu Yanqian immediately folded his arms, looked at Hua Qingmo vigilantly, and said, "What are you going to do to this son?" ”
Chu Yunhua was made to laugh and cry by Chu Yanqian's words, she stared at him and said loudly: "Brother, don't play." Mo'er said that this painting is a bit troublesome, there is not enough time, you are wasting time like this, not helping Mo'er, but helping Yuwenjun and those people. ”
"This son is just responding to Mo'er's words and performing a little weak." Chu Yanqian smiled casually, his smile was lazy and casual. At this time, he looked at the side of the bed, and the corner of his lips smiled slightly: "What does it mean to look outside?" Why don't you come in and take a good look at the body of this son? ”
When Ling Yanxi heard this, he was shocked, and then left quickly. She quickly found Yu Wenjun and told her what she had just heard, Yu Wenjun was also very puzzled by what she said, and she didn't expect Hua Qingmo to do anything at all. However, she can be sure that no one in the entire Hua Dynasty is her opponent in terms of painting.
Two hours passed quickly, at this time the sky has darkened, Tianze Lake lanterns are lit, thousands of trees are illuminated, the moon shadow is flowing and the spring breeze is plum, and a prosperous scene is born. The lanterns by Tianze Lake are shining brightly, like a garden in spring, and thousands of flowers are blooming, colorful, and thousands of postures.
There are lotus lanterns of various colors floating in the lake, and the light of the candle flame reflects the elegance and generosity of the lotus flower, which is more and more pleasing to the eye. The water surface reflects the surrounding lanterns, as if reflecting the sunset in the sky, and the brilliance is difficult to hide. The lanterns float with the waves, the lights are lit, shining and moving, like the stars, as if since ancient times, they have reflected dazzling brilliance in the Milky Way of water, and the brilliance has never fallen in the slightest.
I dare not forget this situation.
At this time, a banquet was set up by Tianze Lake, and there was a special flavor under the lanterns. Because of the cold at night, Situ Xuan ordered people to light a number of charcoal stoves around the banquet, and in this way, it also drove away a lot of cold.
When Hua Qingmo and the others arrived, the banquet had not yet begun, she sat beside Bai Zixiao, and then reached out to the charcoal stove placed on the side to keep warm. It was really not a human to do this in winter, and for about two hours, she never stopped, and now her hands are frozen and unconscious.
After a while, Hua Qingmo felt much better, so she didn't bake the fire to keep warm, as soon as her hand was put down, Bai Zixiao's hand reached over, and then held her hand.
This action made Hua Qingmo's chest stagnate slightly, she turned her head to stare at Bai Zixiao, under the bright light, his face seemed to extend a layer of warm and soft light, too much less cold.
"See what the Lord is doing?" Bai Zixiao spoke coldly.
Hua Qingmo immediately shook her head and replied, "It's nothing, just take a look." After finishing speaking, she didn't look at Bai Zixiao again, and her eyes fell on the hand he held her. His skin was as white and beautiful as jade, and even in the dim light, it still glowed with a warm luster like white jade, except that there was a circle of tooth marks on his left hand.
Looking at the tooth mark, Hua Qingmo couldn't help but reach out and caress it gently, and her movements were extremely gentle.
"When you look at this tooth mark, have you ever thought about Mo'er?" Hua Qingmo looked up at Bai Zixiao and asked aloud.
Bai Zixiao couldn't help but smile at this, he glanced at the tooth mark, his voice was still cold, but it seemed to be a little more gentle: "Seeing this, the Lord of the Governor only thought that there was a disobedient cat biting the master. ”
Hearing this, Hua Qingmo laughed softly, her smile was not as quiet as usual, but with a hint of pleasure. Her hand moved slightly, interlocking with his fingers, palms facing each other. Then, she attached it to his ear and talked to him about the competition with Yu Wenjun and what happened in the palace just now.
After Hua Qingmo finished speaking, Bai Zixiao pondered for a moment and said: "This method is good, but it can be used on the trial of prisoners in Dongchang, Mo'er, you have thought of a good method for the Governor, and the Governor will reward you well." ”
"But......" When Hua Qingmo wanted to speak again, Situ Xuan and Ye Chenxue walked over side by side, followed by Situ Xin and Situ Sleeve Yue. When all the people at the feast saw this, they stood up and saluted.
"See the emperor, see the queen, see His Royal Highness King Liang, see Princess Xianyu!"
After Situ Xuan sat down, he waved his hand to signal everyone to get up. At this time, the place where Situ Xin and Situ Sleeve Yue were sitting happened to be opposite Hua Qingmo and Bai Zixiao, Situ Xin only smiled faintly when he saw Bai Zixiao, and Bai Zixiao also smiled back with a bewitching smile.
"Shangyuan Festival, the lights are bright, this situation, I can't bear to enjoy it alone, so I use this lantern festival to gather the lights of thousands of homes here, and all Aiqing don't live up to my hard work!" Situ Xuan smiled gently, and his handsome face was soft and handsome under the illumination of the lights. He picked up the wine glass on the table, raised it, and said: "At the beginning of the year, I will respect the heavens to bless my Hua Dynasty with good weather and peace in the country and the people." ”
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" The people at the banquet stood up, bowed again, and then raised their glasses and drank the first glass of wine with Situ Xuan.
After drinking this glass of wine, Situ Xuan let everyone take care of themselves, and at this time, Ye Chenxue looked at Situ Xuan and said loudly: "Your Majesty, just now the fourth sister of the concubine came to talk to the concubine about it, it is said that Miss Wenjun and Princess Xiao of the Jade General's Mansion are trying to paint, and now they have just finished painting, and they want to ask the emperor to comment on the level, can you?" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the banquet, Yu Wenjun's painting is a unique in the world, and even the painting saint sighs to himself. And Hua Qingmo's painting is just novel and special, the two of them competed this time, and everyone didn't have to think much to know that the winner must be Yu Wenjun.
Hearing Ye Chenxue's painting, Situ Xuan smiled gently and nodded: "I haven't seen the painting of Yu Wenjun, one of the four talented women, for a long time, presumably the painting has improved a lot, so I will present it quickly." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Wenjun stood up, and then walked in front of everyone, she held a picture scroll in both hands, and the eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward to open the picture scroll.
It is a painting of a snow scene, with a red plum tree blooming in the snow, the white snow falls, the red plum quietly releases, but there is an indescribable sense of tranquility in the elegance. The sky is slightly dark, but it is very realistic, as if it is a scene of falling snow. There were a pair of footprints on the snow, and the footprints stretched into the distance, and even a vague figure could be seen in the distance.
"Okay, the painter is outstanding, the artistic conception is leisurely, and she is worthy of being one of the four talented women of my dynasty, and she really deserves the name of this talented woman."
