The next morning, Shu Ruo went out for a walk. I walked around two streets and didn't see a satisfactory shop. I just got a rough idea of how much money it costs to buy a shop and rent a shop. If you buy a shop, the silver will not be enough for a while. Shu Ruoxiang is too, at present, it is only enough to buy the yard where he lives, how can he buy a shop. She didn't know that, in fact, her money was more than enough to buy a shop somewhere else. It's just that Yanjing is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and every inch of land is valuable.

In the morning, I didn't find a suitable shop, so Shu Ruo bought Xi'er something to eat and went back.

Prime Minister Liu's Mansion.

"Miss, I've bought the number, and I can go to the portrait this afternoon."

"Really? That's great. Liu Yuyan walked into the house after listening.

"Miss dress up nicely and then go, I'll go pick out clothes for you." The maid Zizhu cleverly ran to choose clothes.

"Miss, you made an appointment with Miss Yang to see the Tenth Princess this afternoon." The maid Zilan reminded.

Liu Yuyan stopped moving, how could he forget about this, miss this number, how long will you have to wait in line next time, "Zilan, you go to General Yang's Mansion to tell me, just say that Miss is not feeling well today, so I won't go into the palace with her to see the tenth princess." Go to the palace gate to report a letter again, help me convey my apologies to the tenth princess, and go to compensate another day. ”

General Yang's Mansion.

"Miss, just now the porter came to report, the maid of Liu Xiangfu came to say, Miss Liu suddenly felt unwell, and I can't accompany you to the princess today."

This is a coincidence, I happened to go to the portrait in the afternoon, and I was thinking about how to shirk it, "Qiuyue, you help me go to the palace gate to report a message to the princess, just say that Miss Liu is sick, Miss I will go to visit the patient, and I will not accompany the princess today." It's not okay to pay for it another day. ”

Yang Caixuan decided to go to the Xishu Hutong courtyard to paint a portrait first, after all, this number was not easy to get, I invited a few painters before, and I was not satisfied with the painting, and I wanted to try the Shu painter who is now praised by everyone in Yanjing. After painting the portrait, I went to see Liu Yuyan again, and it was not considered to have deceived the tenth princess.

In the imperial garden, the tenth princess was originally a palace maid setting up refreshments, and the two sisters came over to enjoy the flowers together. As a result, I heard the eunuch report that Liu Yuyan was sick, Yang Caixuan went to visit, and she couldn't enter the palace to accompany her today, she was a little disappointed, and she was also worried that Liu Yuyan's illness was not serious. Later, I thought about it, and I was free anyway, so I went out of the palace, first to see if Shu Ruoyi needed help, and then went to see Liu Yuyan.

Shu Ruo's small courtyard has already gathered some young ladies at this time. Individual ladies also brought supplements, greeting Shu Ruo if he was better, and after Shu Ruo thanked him one by one, he had time to start the portrait.

If you come to the same artist on the same day, you can imagine the chances of encountering it. Liu Yuyan took the maid and was just about to enter the door of Shuruo's small courtyard, when she saw Yang Caixuan getting down from the sedan chair, she was shocked, "You didn't go to accompany the tenth princess??? ”

Yang Caixuan didn't expect to run into Liu Yuyan here, "Aren't you sick?" ”

Two red clouds hit Liu Yuyan's face, and he said weakly: "I was a little dizzy before, this will be much better, this uncomfortable painter started painting today, and he came over." ”

Yang Caixuan complained in her heart, you just pretend, "Have you seen the doctor?" Then you have to pay attention to it, and go back early if you don't feel well. ”

"The doctor in the house has seen it, and it won't get in the way." Liu Yuyan felt embarrassed, and changed the topic, "You also came to find Shu's painter, didn't you listen to you?" ”

"It's decided on the fly, let's go in!" Just your sick appearance, I also want the fourth prince to take a fancy to you, Yang Caixuan doesn't want to say more.

Liu Yuyan glanced at Yang Caixuan deeply, is this to compete? You, Yang Caixuan, may not be able to win against me.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and entered Shu Ruo's courtyard and waited to call their numbers.

Here, the tenth princess also came, still like that, "Shu Ruo, Shu Ruo, I'm here, I'll come here when I have time, I'm righteous enough, I'll help you." ”

Hearing this voice, Yang Caixuan and Liu Yuyan glanced at each other, miserable, the tenth princess is here, and the lie has been exposed so quickly.

As soon as the tenth princess entered the door, she saw that Liu Yuyan and Yang Caixuan were sitting there in a little panic. Seeing the Ten Princesses looking at them, they had just knelt down to greet them, but they were stopped by a gesture from the Ten Princesses. The tenth princess wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at Shu Ruodao, "Shu Ruo, I have something to do, I'll help you draw it in a while." ”

Shu Ruo nodded to the tenth princess, glanced at the three of them, this is acquaintance, didn't think much about it, and continued to paint.

The tenth princess was a little angry and a little sad, "You made an appointment to come together?" Yuyan, are you well? ”

Liu Yuyan didn't dare to look at the tenth princess, so she didn't say anything. Yang Caixuan was more frank, "The princess is so coincidental, are you familiar with Shu's painter?" I was going to see Yuyan, but on the way, I heard that Painter Shu had started to paint today, and I was afraid that I would pass the number, so I came. It's really rude to break the appointment with you, and I'll compensate you here. ”

When Liu Yuyan heard Yang Caixuan say this, she had an expression of almost crying, "Princess, I'm also better, so I came here." After all, Shu's number is too difficult to arrange. ”

"Why do you need this today? After the emperor came out, the palace asked you, do you want to be the princess of the fourth brother of the palace, you shook your head at that time...... Forget it, Hongu went to the portrait. The tenth princess wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say that she was busy. She was a little sad, she felt that the two good sisters she had in her heart were not calm enough with her.

"Princess......" Liu Yuyan looked at the tenth princess as if she was angry, and wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to say.

When the tenth princess sat down, she waited for a while, waiting for which of the two of them would come to her portrait, and seeing that they had no intention of stepping forward, she called a number and began to paint. I laughed at myself in my heart, if the two of them wanted me to paint, they would have let me paint when they entered the palace earlier, so why wait until they met here today.

Yang Caixuan looked at Liu Yuyan who was still very worried, "Since you are afraid that the princess will be angry, why don't you ask the princess to help you draw?" ”

Liu Yuyan looked at Yang Caixuan, "I don't dare." After hesitating for a moment, he spoke weakly, "Caixuan, I don't fight with you, I know that the god of war like the fourth prince, only a young lady like your general's mansion is worthy, I am too weak." But that day's painting appreciation party was ...... by the portrait of the prince I just wanted to try. "I was about to cry when I said that.

Yang Caixuan snorted coldly in her heart, you are not weak, which of those sisters in your house was not eaten to death by you. But he still pretended, "Don't belittle yourself like this." This depends on who the four princes choose in the end, and before they are chosen, we all have a chance. ”

The two who had their own thoughts didn't pay attention to anyone later. However, the tenth princess has been sullen all afternoon, and even Shu Ruo, who has been painting seriously, can see it.

After finishing the last stroke and letting Xi'er send off the guests, Shu Ruo asked for a while while packing up the tools, "Does the princess have something on her mind?" ”

The tenth princess felt that the affairs of her daughter's family were not good and told the man that it was not good, so she shook her head.

Shu Ruo saw that the princess didn't want to say, so he invited her to dinner together. only to find out that Xi'er, the child, didn't know where to go.

During the meal, the tenth princess still couldn't help but ask, "What would you do if you found out that your best friend was hiding something from you and lying to you?" ”

"Since he has something to hide from me, it must be that he doesn't want me to know, so I don't know. As for lying to me, it depends on what lies to me, I will be angry but I will still forgive for white lies, and nothing else can be forgiven. Shu Ruo replied seriously, "In fact, even the best friends will have their own private space." ”

"Thank you, Shu Ruo." The tenth princess listened to Shu Ruo's words, and felt better.

"Then now, can the young lady laugh and show the little brother?" Seeing that the tenth princess was fine, Shu Ruo laughed.

"Okay, you Shu Ruo, you dare to tease this princess, I see that this palace can't spare you."

"Princess, spare your life, let the little one go!"

"Don't let it go!"

In such a fight, the tenth princess completely forgot the unhappiness when she saw Liu Yuyan and Yang Caixuan in the courtyard of Xishu Hutong during the day.

And Liu Yuyan, who went back from painting the portrait from Xishu Hutong, became more and more angry about the fact that she was caught lying by the tenth princess herself.

"Zizhu, what are you doing, why didn't you inquire about Yang Caixuan, and I also went to find the portrait of Painter Shu today." Looking at what Yang Caixuan has to say and don't have a brain on weekdays, this time she is hiding it to death, but her father and the fourth prince also have a thought.

"Miss, the slave is not handling things properly, please punish the young lady."

"Forget it, forget it this time. I didn't expect her to have this in mind. "You have to think about it and plan it.
