When Chi Tang woke up, it was already the next morning.

The morning light shines through the cracks in the doors and windows and sprinkles on the extinguished candlesticks.

As she straightened up from the case, the cloak over her shoulders slipped down, a little cold.

Chi Tang hurriedly picked up the cloak and put it back on.

Looking around, the palace maids who had been sent out last night stood back in their place, as if they had never moved.

The unfinished drawings and inkstone tools were placed on the floor so that she would not accidentally touch and deface them while she was asleep.

Chi Tang moved the things back to the table one by one, and guessed nervously when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had left.

Looks like she should have left after falling asleep, right?

I don't know if she sleeps well, whether she talks in her sleep, or if she does anything embarrassing......

While thinking wildly, he picked up his paintbrush and prepared to continue painting.

At this time, the door of the palace opened, and a group of palace maids rushed in, holding water basins, fragrant pancreas and other things in their hands.

The female officer at the head smiled and said, "The maidservants are waiting for the townsman to freshen up!" ”

Chi Tang recognized her as the person next to Concubine Shu, so he responded with a smile.

The female official personally twisted the handkerchief and stepped forward to wipe her face, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Niangniang said that the townsman suffered, and the Lu family remembered it in his heart. ”

Chi Tang hurriedly said: "Niangniang is polite, I didn't suffer anything." ”

Painting was originally what she liked, accompanied by King Wei during the day and the prince at night, and even a little lively.

Even if I slept on the table at night, I didn't feel any discomfort, and I slept very comfortably.

So Chi Tang really didn't feel that he was suffering.

Listening to the ears of the female officer, I only felt that she was well-behaved and sensible, and couldn't help but feel a little more pity: "Don't worry, you can go home today......"

But she can't finish painting today?

Chi Tang still wanted to ask, but the female officer completed the task and stepped back.

After that, I set the table to eat, and I didn't find a chance to ask.

After the palace maids left, Chi Tang continued to paint.

About half an hour later, the door of the temple was wide open, and the guard of honor was solemn.

The Holy Driver is coming.

Chi Tang hurriedly came out from behind the painting and knelt on the side to greet him.

A trail of footsteps walked in front of her, and one of them turned and strode towards her.

"Ah Tang!" Before the words fell, a pair of hands had already held her shoulders, and she immediately squatted down.

Chi Tang looked up in amazement, and a familiar face came into view.

There was nothing wrong with her, but when she saw those distressed and anxious eyes, she had some squeamish grievances for no reason.

"Daddy......" his mouth was deflated and he wanted to cry.

"Look! This kid looks like I've bullied her! The emperor pointed at Chitang and said with a smile.

"Girls are like this, love to be coquettish, last time Twelve Niang went to her grandfather's house for a few months, and when she came back, she was red-eyed when she saw the minister, and she didn't know what grievances she had suffered in her grandfather's house!" The man beside the emperor laughed.

Chi Tang grabbed his father's hand and glanced at it, recognizing that it was the Duke Xue of Qi State.

Did Daddy ask Qi Guogong for help and come to the palace to save her?

Actually, she's fine, won't this annoy Your Majesty?

However, the emperor's appearance couldn't tell whether he was angry or not, and after chatting with Qi Guogong for a few words about Xue Zheng, he asked people to submit Chi Tang's sketches.

"I'm not done yet......," Chi Tang whispered.

Chi Changting patted her shoulder comfortingly and helped her up.

The emperor glanced at her, looked up at her, and asked, "When was that painting drawn?" ”

Chi Tang perked up and said busily: "I painted it in Wuxing Palace, I originally wanted to paint it and give it to Miss Lu, but when I returned to Wu County, Miss Lu went out, so I put it aside and didn't send it out, and I don't know when I lost it." ”

Chi Changting couldn't help but look sideways.

After not seeing each other overnight, his girl learned to lie? Who taught?

"Oh?" The Emperor glanced at the sketch again and smiled noncommittally, "It is indeed somewhat similar to the drawing." Glancing at Chi Tang, he smiled again, "You are a little girl, it is also a miracle that you are still affectionate when you draw a beautiful woman with fine brushwork." ”

Chi Tang originally wanted to reply, but her father was here, and there was no room for her to reply.

"When the little girl was in Wudi, she was taught by Mrs. Yan Guo, and often went in and out of the Lu family's back house, and had a close relationship with the big returning Lu girl, often ate at the same table, slept and lived together, and the relationship was extraordinary." Pond Changting Road.

Chi Tang only nodded in agreement.

The emperor smiled: "Zijin doesn't even look down on my princesses, but she falls in love with you, a little girl." ”

Chi Changting touched his daughter's head, and said with a calm expression: "The little girl is well-behaved, diligent and studious, and Yu Danqing is very talented, not to mention Miss Lu, even if the painting saint is alive, she will especially favor the little girl!" ”

Chi Tang's face turned red as soon as he "poofed", and he buried his head and didn't dare to look at people.

Daddy is not humble at all!

The emperor didn't think it was wrong, and pointed at him and laughed: "Chi Erlang, Chi Erlang!" You're too rude! It's been a year since it was established, why are you still as arrogant as when you were just the champion! Does anyone boast about his daughter like that? ”

The little girl was so embarrassed that she secretly patted his hand, Chi Changting smiled slightly, held her daughter's hand, and said conceitedly: "The courtier deserves the praise of the minister!" ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Since your daughter is so good, why don't you teach it yourself?" I remember you're good at it yourself! ”

Chi Changting was humble again at this time: "Your Majesty praises falsely, in terms of paintings, she is inferior to Miss Lu, and the little girl can get the guidance of Miss Lu, which is also her opportunity." ”

Qi Guogong pointed to Chi Tang's sketch and said with a smile: "The gestures are continuous, it seems that I have already obtained a little bit of the true inheritance of the Lu family!" ”

Hearing this, Chi Tang glanced at his painting in astonishment.

She didn't really get the guidance of Miss Lu, how could she get the true biography of Miss Lu?

However, the emperor glanced at it and did not refute, only asked, "Is Lu Zijin here?" ”

Outside the door, he replied: "I've already gone to please, I haven't arrived yet, I should be on the way." ”

Not long after finishing speaking, Lu Zijin came in with Dali Qing Cui Sheng.

I don't know where I was imprisoned yesterday, but when I entered the temple, I was still dressed in white and unstained, and I didn't look haggard at all.

As soon as she entered the door, the emperor beckoned to her: "Zijin come and see!" ”

Lu Zijin stepped forward.

"How?" The Emperor asked with a smile.

Lu Zijin glanced at the shy little girl Chi in surprise, then nodded and smiled: "Ah Chi is extremely talented, this one is much better than the previous one, if Your Majesty wants to see the two paintings that are exactly the same, I'm afraid you will be disappointed." ”

"How can there be two identical paintings in this world, am I such an unreasonable person?" The emperor smiled and said, "How long has this girl been learning to paint with you?" ”

The emperor seemed to ask casually, but no one dared to really answer casually.

Lu Zijin smiled slightly, but replied cautiously: "I don't want to go to school, but I only occasionally give a few words, but Ah Chi has a good understanding." ”

The emperor laughed and said, "In this case, how can you confiscate her as an apprentice?" Chi Changting said just now, even if the painting saint sees his daughter, he wants to accept apprentices! ”

Lu Zijin's gaze swept over the blushing little girl Chi, and fell on the humble father of the little girl Chi.

In this world, there are always some blessed people who do not need to be humble.

But it's okay if I'm not humble, and it's really ...... to praise my daughter like this

Lu Zijin smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I have always wanted to accept Ah Chi as an apprentice, but I am afraid that Chi Jun is high, and I can't look down on Zijin-"
