Empress Cao asked her grandson, granddaughter, and granddaughter to go down to rest, and Liu Yan was cheeky and said that he was too young to rest, and he also came out.

Gui Yuan followed and persuaded: "Princess, I'm afraid that someone will gossip if you leave like this." ”

Liu Yan didn't reply: "Let them go." Won't they talk when I'm sitting inside? ”

Gui Yuan didn't really want to persuade him.

Among the people who came today, there are of course Princess Fuyu and their really close people, but there are really a lot of people in the clan, and some people Gui Yuan only knows that his surname is Liu, as for how many layers of kinship are separated, only God knows.

Many people are staring at Liu Yan today.

is different from the first three princesses, Liu Yan is the queen's own child, and several princes and sisters can marry her, which is definitely different from the previous horses.

The emperor did not idle the first three horses in front of him, but he did not use them very much. Except for Zhao Lei, who got a knighthood because of being a colt, but his actual job has not moved, and he is still hanging in the Hanmo Pavilion. Others think he's unproductive, but he thinks he's good.

The only thing that didn't go well with Zhao Juma was probably that there were suddenly more people asking him to paint, and most of them were either enjoying flowers, feasting, or painting portraits.

Painting is his lifelong passion, he doesn't hate it, but no matter how much he doesn't hate it, he can't stand the same thing. As for portraits, the requirements of those people are the same, the more powerful and decent the better.

As for whether it looks like me or not, whether it looks like a god or not, it doesn't matter!

The third princess was very happy, and gave him a trick, let him draw the same face, and then add some branches and leaves according to the subtle differences of the person being painted, such as clothes, military generals and civil officials are naturally different.

As for the rest, it is not much different, because now there is a beard, and most people are on par with the emperor, and the beard is a thousand people, and he can draw it with his eyes closed.

Zhao Lei was originally teased by his wife, and said with a smile: "How can this be." ”

But I didn't expect it to be like this later.

First, after painting a portrait of Meng Guogong, that is, Meng Guoma's father, he became famous, and the later people asked for a particularly simple one: "Just paint like Meng Guogong." ”

As Liu Fang said, except for the slightly different backgrounds of the clothes and accessories, the faces are all the same!

Do you still use him to do this work? Find a painter on the street, and draw ten or eight pieces a day for five dollars of silver.

But Zhao Lei's reputation has already begun, and it seems to have become a symbol of the status of a powerful person.

You see, Meng Guogong has painted it, General Tan has also painted it, and Sun Shangshu has also painted it, don't you paint it? If you don't draw, you'll be outdated.

However, this painting is not painted in vain, people will send a moisturizing pen, and after the painting is finished, I feel satisfied, and there are additional gifts, calculate it, and make a lot of money.

This is an unexpected joy for Liu Fang!

Of course, she is not short of money to spend, she has a rich dowry, and she doesn't expect her husband's concubines, let alone the two jujubes he earns in the Hanmo Pavilion - it's not that she speaks straight, the Hanmo Pavilion is really the Qingshui in the Qingshui Yamen, and after a month, the money earned is not enough for the daily meals of the princess's mansion.

doesn't expect to return to hope, Liu Fang is still happy to find that her husband has a good way to make money.

She is not happy for money, but a man has a foothold in the world, if he can't support his family and shelter his wife and children, but everything is reversed, and his wife supports his family, others will inevitably look down on him and gossip about him.

Now that Zhao Lei is talented, the paintings he paints are quite popular, and Liu Fang is of course relieved.

What those people outside think is that if they become the concubines of the four princesses, then those who were originally born in poverty will definitely ascend to the sky in one step, and those who are originally born in rich and famous families will definitely be able to go to the next level, at least three more generations of wealth, right?

Last time, there was a relative who didn't know which way, also surnamed Cao, followed Mrs. Cao to enter the palace to ask for peace, and saw Liu Yan holding her hand, and the greasy feeling suddenly made Liu Yan unhappy.

Even more displeasing is yet to come.

The strange woman who called herself aunt chattered endlessly, and a big mouth painted red opened and closed, blowing her nephew into a peerless peony flower, but Liu Yan's attention was deviated from the beginning.

Because she'...... The teeth were quite big and yellow, and more importantly, the red lipstick she wiped was stained on the teeth, and every time her mouth opened and closed, the yellow teeth stained with red stains were revealed......

Until Yingluo asked people to pull her away, Liu Yan didn't remember who the "aunt" was, let alone her own son or nephew or nephew she introduced.

But there are a lot of them.

Everyone knows that the emperor and the queen love the four princesses, and the most difficult level to be a colt is actually the princess herself. If the emperor and the queen choose a person, he will be perfect everywhere, but the fourth princess herself doesn't like it, and this person has no fun!

But if there is a person, his family background may not be obvious, his literary talent and martial arts are lacking, and his appearance is not so handsome and amazing, but the fourth princess likes it, then the emperor and the queen have passed the level.

It's a pity that the princess is not so easy to approach, in the past, when the princess was young, she went out of the palace to play a lot, but then again, the princess is still young, what do they have to calculate?

Now that the princess has reached the end of the palace, it is a good year to be out of the palace, but the number of times she can leave the palace has decreased sharply, making it difficult for people who want to get close to the princess to find opportunities.

Last time, the relative of the Cao family played the idea of "the moon is the first to get the moon near the water" and "the fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders". Although the relatives are far away, they are also surnamed Cao. Queen Cao is also the daughter of the Cao family, marry the princess back to the Cao family, how good it is to be close to each other!

I have to say that there are a lot of people who think this way.

Even the Ma family, who shrank their heads to avoid trouble a while ago, that is, the second prince and his father-in-law's family, also moved their minds.

Marrying a daughter to the prince thought it would be a million profits, but now it seems to be a loss-making deal.

Although the emperor gave him a name, the second prince can't mention marrying a concubine again, but he doesn't like to see Ma's horizontal and vertical looks, the two used to have some affection, since Ma gave birth to a child, the second prince didn't enter her house at all, and he didn't see her face anymore.

If this continues, it is not much of an advantage for Ma to give birth to an eldest son.

But if you can marry the fourth princess, it will be different!

The Ma family is also well-informed, and they heard the news of the fourth princess's intercession for the second princess and Xiao Liu Ben.

Look, the fourth princess has such a big face, and speaking to the emperor and queen is so weighty!

If the children of the Ma family can be the concubines of the four princesses, at least the Ma family will not have to worry about the peace and wealth of the Ma family in the past few decades, and they will no longer have to tremble like last time, and they will always be afraid that the emperor will be guilty.

Moreover, the Ma family thinks that if they marry the fourth princess, it will also be very beneficial to the second princess and Liu Ben, maybe the grandson of the Ma family, Xiao Liu Ben, who is not yet a year old, will be able to be the prince and the emperor in the future, so does the Ma family's honor and authority need to be said?
