Lu'an Jushi is a world-famous Danqing family, and has left countless masterpieces in his life. Now that people have driven to the west, paintings are even more difficult to find, and the market is priceless.

Although most of Lu'anjushi's paintings are landscape paintings, he is best at painting flowers and birds, especially flowers. For example, the picture of a hundred flowers competing for spring lost in the treasury of King An's Mansion is the famous painting of Lu'an Jushi.

And this picture of the national color and fragrance in front of him, if it is really the posthumous work of Lu Anjushi before his death, it is priceless.

Let's not talk about whether Princess Lingxi can realize the unfinished parts of this painting. Just writing on the masterpiece of Lu'an Jushi, the slightest mistake is a scourge of being scolded by the people of the world, but there are few people in the world who can have such a state of mind.

After thinking about it, everyone looked at Princess Jiaye with a little anger in their eyes.

However, Princess Jiaye, who became the target of everyone, turned a blind eye to this, staring at Lingxi with a pair of eyes, and the corners of her lips raised a sarcasm that seemed to be smiling, as if she had seen her difficult situation.

Lingxi is indeed embarrassed, she has been playful since she was a child, she has been lazy, and she is really not much in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, only at the level of barely being able to take a shot. asked her to start writing on Lu'an Jushi's paintings, but she would never dare.

If she destroys such a copy of the masterpiece that should be handed down, presumably she will also follow the "Hundred Years of History". However, admitting defeat like this, making the barbarian princess laugh, she was reluctant in every way.

For the first time in his life, Lingxi began to regret his lack of learning.

But she has mediocre qualifications, her appearance is not as good as the eldest imperial sister, and her talent is inferior to the second imperial sister, and she has always been the least outstanding one. She simply looked away, just to be the most comfortable princess.

never thought that one day, he would lose the face of the Great Li Kingdom in front of a foreign princess.

In his ears was Princess Jiaye's mockery, "Why, doesn't Princess Dali even have the courage to pick up a pen?" ”

Ling Xi's face was hot, and he was about to get up, but he was held down by the imperial sister-in-law on the side, and then a figure next to the imperial brother stood up.

Bai Boren got up and saluted Emperor Yuanhe, then looked at Princess Jiaye in the middle, and said without humility or arrogance: "Princess Jiaye said that she laughed, Princess Lingxi didn't dare, she just disdained it." Such a trivial matter, why bother the princess, just a small minister. ”

Princess Jiaye was laughed angrily by this man who suddenly appeared and didn't know the height of the sky, and she sneered: "Okay, since you have spoken wildly, this princess will give you this opportunity." But if you ruin the painting of Lu'an Jushi, don't blame Princess Ben for being unkind to you! ”

Emperor Yuan He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his daughter naturally knew that he was two catties, and if he painted hard, it would only increase the laughing stock. Now that someone has accepted it on his behalf, he has finally saved the royal face, but he doesn't care about this person's abruptness.

Emperor Yuanhe naturally didn't know Bai Boren, but now he didn't want to ask, so he just said: "Aiqing is sure, let's paint." After all, it's just a painting, and Princess Kaye won't want your life. ”

His words were obviously dissatisfied with Princess Jiaye's words, but the person who came was a guest, and Princess Jiaye was the daughter of a junior, and Emperor Yuanhe was not easy to care about in public.

But the envoys of Rongguo could hear the meaning of these words, but now, he had no other way but to smile and toast. Thinking that he would have to face the regent's reproach after going back, he really felt the urge not to return to China.

In front of everyone's eyes, Bai Boren got up and walked to the picture scroll. He held the pen at his fingertips and carefully looked at the exquisite picture of the national color and heavenly fragrance in front of him.

Princess Jiaye also understood at this time, this person deliberately provoked himself to relieve Princess Lingxi, and was even more dissatisfied, and said coldly on the side: "You think about painting again, don't spoil the artistic conception in this painting, and destroy the posthumous work of Lu'an Jushi, you can't afford to pay for it." ”

Bai Boren only smiled faintly when he heard this, he was not very outstanding in his own life, although he was also thoughtful, his temperament was too gentle and indifferent, but it was not eye-catching.

But now this is smiling calmly, as if he has a bamboo in his chest, and he has become extraordinary in an instant. He summoned the palace maid on the side and said a few words, and the palace maid took out a box of rouge from her sleeve with a red face.

Bai Boren took out a little rouge and put it in a clean inkstone, mixed it with water to take color, and carefully mixed it until he was satisfied. Then I took the pen and dipped it in ink, and I picked up the pen to paint, and I was completely forgetful.

In just a quarter of an hour, Bai Boren put down his pen and did it in one go. As soon as he stepped aside, Princess Kaye stepped forward, her eyes fell on the painting, and the sarcasm on her lips swallowed it back.

Bai Boren did not apply much brush and ink to the painting, but only painted a butterfly on the peony flower that Princess Jiaye held and sniffed in her hand, a lifelike butterfly that seemed to be attracted by the fragrance of flowers.

That is, the national color is fragrant, the national color is already there, and only the heavenly fragrance is missing. Just how can the scent be drawn? Bai Boren drew this butterfly with this butterfly.

Seeing that Princess Jiaye's face was different, she didn't say a word, and Emperor Yuan He was also a little curious. When the palace maid presented the painting, she couldn't help laughing and praised: "Wonderful, really wonderful." Reward! ”

Tong was also very satisfied with it, and asked the palace people to circulate the paintings to the next one. This painting was originally a beauty appreciating flowers, people are more delicate than flowers, and the national color and fragrance are a metaphor for the princess of Jiaye to fall into the city.

However, at this moment, the rouge butterfly on the flower has become the finishing touch, and the beauty holding the flower has become a foil, and the peony flower that attracts butterflies is the real heavenly fragrance.

When Emperor Yuan He looked at Bai Boren again, his eyes were already a little more appreciative, and he asked: "Aiqing is such a virtuous person, I have never paid attention to it before, but it is called Mingzhu dust." ”

Bai Boren knelt down and bowed, and said: "Bai Boren, the director of the Weichen Rites Department, is a shallow learner, and he takes the liberty of offering ugliness, and asks the emperor for forgiveness. ”

Emperor Yuan He waved his hand in a good mood, and Long Yan said with great joy: "According to Aiqing's talent, it is Qu Cai to only be a small master in the Ministry of Rites, if you go to the Hanlin Academy to be a waiter, it is not buried." ”

Everyone around them cast envious looks, although the director of the Ministry of Rites and the attendant of the Hanlin Academy are the same six products, but in fact, they are very different. Scale Literature

Hanlin Yuan is a close confidant of the emperor, and the official position in the middle office is not high, but he is the person who directly governs the emperor's order and has the most sacred heart.

For example, the Tanhualang Song Bachelor who was last year, although he is only a bachelor from the fifth grade in the Hanlin Academy, he can't stand the sacred heart of others.

Not long ago, he served as the household servant of the fourth product, and he also repaired the classics for the emperor and discussed political affairs.

Bai Boren was in the officialdom, so he naturally understood the weight of Emperor Yuanhe's reward, but he was not arrogant or impatient, kneeling down and kowtowing to thank him.

After this experience, Princess Jiaye had nothing to say for a while, and the envoys of Rongguo took the opportunity to praise the Da Li Neng people, and they toasted again and again, and their faces turned red when they drank it, which was also pitiful.

Probably made up his mind, the envoy no longer dared to let Princess Jiaye go, so he simply let the two attendants stand beside Princess Jiaye on the left and right to look at her, and then finally calmed down.

Staggered, singing and dancing.

In addition to Princess Jiaye, this dust-washing banquet can be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts. Bai Boren was originally an uninvited guest, although he was in the limelight, but a small waiter in the Hanlin Academy could not enter the eyes of the people present.

Bai Boren is not sleek than Bai Zonglin, nor is he as straightforward as Qi's, but like a fusion of the two. He never liked such a scene, and after greeting Ji Lingyun, he left first.

Ji Lingyun looked at Bai Yanran on the side, he didn't understand why Yan'er specially asked her uncle to come to the banquet, but she helped Lingxi crookedly.

Now that she sees Bai Yanran nodding, she naturally won't force her to stay anymore.

Lingxi's seat was next to Bai Yanran's seat, and when he saw this, he only hesitated slightly for a moment, and then quietly left the seat while everyone was intoxicated with singing and dancing.

It was easy not to let Aunt Sang follow, and Ling Xi walked out of the palace gate and saw the corner of the palace wall in the distance

A corner of the garment flashed. But when he saw that there was no one around, he chased after him with his skirt and his crown.

By this time, it was already dark, and it was the sunset of the glow of the sun.

Ling Xi was afraid that the man would leave a moment too late, and he didn't know when he would see him next time. The heart became more and more anxious, but he might as well stumble when he crossed the threshold, and the whole person would fall to the ground in embarrassment.

As if sensing something, although Ling Xi closed his eyes in shock, he was not flustered in his heart. In the flash of light, Hengli stretched out a pair of hands to hold her firmly. The tip of Lingxi's nose hit the man's chest, and the crown of hair on his head was crooked.

"Be careful."

It was that gentle and familiar voice, Lingxi felt that the man let go of himself, slowly opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw Bai Boren.

"You ......"

When she spoke, she found that the man didn't look at her at all, he reached out and carefully put on the hair crown for himself, and then took two steps back, and then looked at himself.

"Why are you here?"

Ling Xi saw that the man had already left, how could he still be here for a long time. Bai Boren quietly reddened the tips of his ears when he heard this, lowered his eyes and replied: "Weichen thought that the princess might come to thank him, so he thought about waiting for a while. ”

How to say that he had made up his mind not to entangle anymore, but he still stopped after hearing the sound of hurried footsteps behind him.

Lingxi was ashamed and annoyed, angry that he was always so embarrassed in front of him. Biting his lip in annoyance, he blushed and said, "I did come to thank you, and I thank you for helping me out." ”

Bai Boren seemed to know her thoughts, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he said softly: "I have written down the princess's thanks, since this is the case, it is night, the princess should go back quickly." ”

Ling Xi opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to watch Bai Boren's back go away.

Princess Kaye hit the wall one after another, and she was bored with herself, and she drank for a while and was really drunk, and she couldn't get up on the table. The envoy breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked the attendant to take her back to rest.

For the sake of the dragon's health, the emperor only sat for a while and left, and the queen sat for a while, and returned to the palace under the pretext that she was too strong to drink.

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot, and the ministers took turns to toast with the envoys of Rongguo.

The envoy of Rongguo was implicated by Princess Jiaye, and he didn't dare not drink, so he had to pour a cup into his mouth. No matter how many people around, they couldn't hold it, and finally got drunk and fell under the table before being let go.

Xu won a lot of favor because of Bai Yanran's tongue battle against Princess Jiaye, and many ladies took the initiative to come forward to talk. Bai Yanran is neither humble nor arrogant, and responds to them one by one.

It was Mrs. Yu's overtures that made Bai Yanran a little surprised, although she only came over with everyone to toast a glass of wine and said a few polite words, but the implicit gesture of favor was self-evident.

In her previous life, she only heard that Shanshan had great respect for her wife, and even if she later became the queen, she still obeyed the stepmother's words. Nowadays, it seems that it is indeed not to be underestimated.
