Chapter Twenty-Four: Portrait of Entering the Palace
Recently, Shu Ruo began to practice Chinese painting, Shu Ruo has studied Chinese painting, after all, it is not a major, compared to oil painting, it is a little worse, but compared with Leng Yan, there is still a comparison. The main thing is that she doesn't like to paint Chinese paintings very much. But there is no way to have to pick up the Chinese painting, and the painting bag that she walked through with is not an artifact space, and it can be inexhaustible.
The bag contained two sets of sketch pencils, a few charcoal strips, a small box of watercolor paint, and a large box of acrylic paint. Fortunately, there are charcoal strips in this time and space, and Shu Ruo mainly paints charcoal strips on weekdays. But in order to earn money, there will be people who paint black beautiful statues, and the box of watercolors is used up like this. On the day the acrylic paint first came, I painted a picture of a beautiful woman bathing in the cold cold. No alternative pigments have been found. Shu Ruo decided to open Jing Yi Xuan, but he also knew that it was unrealistic to paint on his own for a long time, and Jing Yi Xuan would have to rely mainly on the share of consignment in the future.
Shu Ruo told Leng Yan about her troubles, but fortunately, Leng Yan was obsessed with painting and had a lot of collection of painting materials. I brought them all to Shu Ruo one by one, and found one that was similar to watercolor paint, and another that was somewhat similar to modern gouache paint.
But Shu Ruo was so happy, and on the day he received the paint, he painted a landscape painting in Leng Yan's memory. For this reason, Leng Yan deliberately went to the Four Princes' Mansion to show off in front of Leng Han. Leng Yan coveted Leng Han's beautiful bathing picture but couldn't, which was quite a pity, which made up for a small loss.
Got a cold response with two words, "Childish!" ”
Palace.
Mother, your birthday is coming, Yu'er wants to give you a birthday gift, but you have to cooperate with this birthday. The tenth princess took her mother, Concubine Fang, to walk around the imperial garden.
"Oh, I also want the mother concubine to cooperate, but the mother concubine wants to see what birthday gift Yu'er wants to give to the mother concubine."
"Yu'er recently met a painter outside the palace, who is good at painting portraits of women, and she looks like a real person. I would like to invite him into the palace to paint your portrait. The eyes of the tenth princess were shining.
"Is that Shu Ruo that you often talk about?"
"Mother, you know Shu Ruo!"
"Don't you talk a lot these days? How did you forget? Concubine Fang said with a smile.
"Looks like it!" The tenth princess thought about it, and she seemed to often mention Shu Ruo to her mother and smirked.
Concubine Fang's own daughter's expression was a little misunderstood, Yu'er didn't fall in love with others, "It must be good to be able to get my Yu'er's praise." The mother wants to see, can it be tomorrow? ”
"Tomorrow? The concubine and the retainer retired first, and I haven't told him yet, so I'll ask him if he has time tomorrow. With that, he ran away.
Looking at her daughter's disappearing figure, Concubine Fang had a trace of worry, although the emperor did not fancy the family, and the princesses of Yu'er's brother were not all nobles. But the princesses' concubines were not lightly tossed by the emperor, not to mention that Yu'er was the emperor's favorite princess. Yu'er is still young, so she must have thought too much about it.
"Shu Ruo, do you think we are friends?" The tenth princess was a little apprehensive after asking, after all, Shu Ruo didn't go to other people's houses to paint, she all came to her.
"Are we friends?" Shu Ruo looked at the ten princesses who were usually majestic and high-spirited, how could this be, it was a little interesting, teasing her.
"Okay, you Shu Ruo, why aren't we friends anymore, I'll help you paint a portrait, I'll visit you when you're sick, your shop is open, I'll come to cheer, and I'll introduce you to guests, we've known each other for a while, why aren't we friends......"
"Have you forgotten that you smashed my stall and whipped me?"
The tenth princess blushed when she heard Shu Ruo say this, and felt a little guilty when she thought of the incident when she came to find fault with her, but she still said stiffly, "At that time, we didn't know each other. That doesn't count, why are you flipping through those old yellow calendars. Let's just say now, I've been nice to you lately. ”
The tenth princess almost shouted out behind her, and Shu Ruo, who listened, covered her ears, "Is this normal, talking about human words?" ”
……
The tenth princess did not react. Only Shu Ruo dared to talk to her like this, who was not in a hurry to please her on weekdays.
"I said, what are you doing with me today?"
"I brought you something delicious." I can't say it.
"That's it?" Unbelief.
"Okay, I want to ask you to come into the palace to help paint a portrait of my mother, my mother's birthday is coming, this is my birthday gift for her." It's out.
"What time?" The Imperial Palace, the legendary Imperial Palace, I actually have the opportunity to go and see, although the modern Forbidden City has been visited, but it is always different. Shu Ruo's heart was excited, and the main reason for the ten princes was that Shu Ruo thought like this, and he was annoyed that he was so entangled just now.
"Is it possible tomorrow?"
"Okay!"
"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow, go first, I'll go back and prepare." The ten princesses bounced away.
Nervous, so nervous, Shu Ruo thought that he was going to enter the palace tomorrow, and he couldn't help but think of the palace fighting dramas he watched before, and those concubines were so scary. In the past, my girlfriend always complained about herself, and she wanted to let me go to the palace fight drama to survive no more than one episode, and I would be killed in seconds.
"Shu Ruo, you wait to see the mother concubine of this palace, don't be nervous, the mother of this palace can be gentle, the mother concubine said that the sun is good today, and the portrait in the imperial garden can bask in the sun and enjoy the flowers." The tenth princess took Shu Ruo on the way to the imperial garden.
"Mother, I brought Shu Ruo here."
"Grass people Shuruo, meet Concubine Fang, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose."
"Hurry up, you are the Shu painter that Yu'er said." Concubine Fang looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and she looked good, no wonder her daughter liked it.
The words are like beads, the voice is soft and crisp, the double butterfly embroidered Luo skirt, the skin is like snow, the dark eyes release the beauty of tranquility, the ten princesses are seven points similar to it, this is Concubine Fang. "Exactly down there."
"Yu'er always praises you to the palace, and praises the portraits you painted, and there is no one in the palace to compare, so I have to pull the palace to paint the portrait." Concubine Fang looked at the handsome young man in front of her with a smile on her face.
"Thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess's love, the grass people are disrespectful. It's just to make a living. ”
is not coquettish or arrogant, and he looks handsome and looks good with me. Let's see how capable it is? If your ability is good, you can ask the emperor for a good errand. As long as Yu'er likes it, the colt doesn't need to be too powerful, so that Yu'er won't suffer. At this time, Shu Ruo didn't know that Concubine Fang was a mother-in-law, and the more she looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she became.
"I'm going to trouble Painter Shu today."
"Don't you dare to be a grass person, I don't know if you want to sit or stand?"
"Sit down!"
"Okay, that may have to be hard work, if you are tired, just say, you have a proper little action, I have no problem."
Shu Ruo began to paint a portrait, during which the tenth princess kept looking next to her, full of admiration, and would ask Shu Ruo a few words if she didn't understand.
Half an hour later, "Niangniang, are you tired?" You can walk around when you're tired. "Shu Ruo didn't dare to let Concubine Fang maintain a posture for too long, she was afraid, she was afraid that she would be tired, and she would be the one who would suffer when the time came. Quickly finish the overall dynamics, and then slowly work on the details.
"Mother, you can move now, come and see, Shu Ruo has already drawn a sketch, you are beautiful."
Concubine Fang walked over and was amazed to see it, although it was only an outline, she could already see that her painting skills were amazing, and she seemed to be standing on that piece of paper.
It took another hour for Shu Ruo to finish the painting. During this period, Concubine Fang has been paying attention to the interaction between the tenth princess and Shu Ruo, and found that the two of them did not have any signs of male and female love, and only saw the pure worship in the eyes of her family Yu'er, and it seemed that she was thinking too much.
"Shu Ruo, this palace really thanks you so much, you painted my mother so beautifully!"
Concubine Fang herself was also very satisfied, only saying that this was the best birthday gift she had ever received, and she rewarded Shu Ruo with a lot of good things. Shu Ruo was so happy, but he didn't dare to show it. It wasn't until he left the palace gate that he took a long breath and relaxed.
Looking at the majestic palace wall of the palace, it is still a small courtyard in Xishu Hutong, and it is comfortable. Concubine Fang is beautiful, but there are so many women in the emperor, and it is too tiring to share a man's love with so many women in his life.
"Mother, I give you this birthday gift, but you are still satisfied."
"Satisfied, my Yu'er has really grown up." Concubine Fang looked at the tenth princess with a look of relief.
"I knew you'd love it. Another day, I will go to Jingyi Xuan to set up a picture frame, frame the words, and hang them in your dormitory when the time comes. ”
"Okay, listen to Yu'er."
