As soon as he went to work the next day, the emperor's chief steward, Cui Gonggong, came over to summon him and asked everyone in the academy to bring tools and follow him.

Dean Liu walked in front, Liu Jinghuan and I were still young, following behind, I was really curious, and couldn't help but ask him: "What is the matter of calling all our painters over?" ”

Liu Jinghuan was a little taller than me, bowed his head slightly and said to me: "I heard that Beidi is going to send the princess over this year, and now the Beidi mission has arrived, and I heard my father say that when the Beidi mission came in the past, some celebrations would be carried out, and the painter needed to draw the picture down and keep it as a commemoration of the friendship between the two countries." ”

It dawned on me that this was the same as when the leaders of two countries met and held hands for reporters to take pictures. "I see, what kind of activities do you usually do? Isn't it going to be hard? ”

Liu Jinghuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry about the ethereal, it can be done at your level." ”

But I can only sketch statically, and I can't do anything about movement, you think I'm a camera? However, after looking at the seniors in front of me, it shouldn't be my turn to play, so I was immediately relieved.

Then Liu Jinghuan whispered to me to introduce some of the previous activities, and which master's paintings were selected, I listened to it with relish, but Liu Jinghuan suddenly stopped talking, I looked at his expression, it seemed to be a little panicked, and looked forward, it turned out that he had walked to the imperial garden, the emperor They were not far away, the prime minister stood on the left side of the emperor prettyly, his eyes seemed to be looking at this side, his eyes were cold, I knew that he could be young and above him, he was definitely not a gentle person, and quickly rubbed his arm, It's really embarrassing to desert in front of the prime minister, who is the head of the hundred officials, and to be caught.

When he looked at the past again, the prime minister smiled gently and listened to what the emperor said. It's a picture that is cold to everyone else, but you can make me show my face.

After I went down with the people from the Ministry of Rites, they arranged a place for me, waiting for the group of Beidi envoys to enter Beijing, and be sure to draw all the important pictures.

The people of the Ministry of Rites are quite objective, according to the expertise of each painter, we were assigned corresponding positions, like Dean Liu, who is good at painting large scenes, so he was arranged to a high place in order to grasp the whole scene. Some of the other painters are good at drawing sides, and some are good at drawing details, and they are arranged in corresponding positions. I was arranged to be next to the emperor, and I was going to draw a big close-up later, and Liu Jinghuan was arranged to a distant place.

The baby is bitter, but the baby can't say, I bear it with a bitter face, and I want to try to memorize it and draw it later, the painting is not so realistic, I hope the emperor can understand, after all, you are a dynamic picture.

It's more than May now, the weather is hot or not, but in the sun, plus the ancient people wore a lot of clothes, and can't be like modern times, feel hot and take off, after a while I sweated, I put my tongue out to dry, and found that this Erha way to cool off is completely useless, I can only greet the little palace maid next to her, let her bring me a glass of water, the little palace maid went down.

Before the little palace maid's water came back, a group of little eunuchs came over with a tent, and it was suddenly much cooler, and I looked at other painters, and suddenly felt that this ruling class was still a little human. I looked at the officials who were still waiting, secretly wiping their sweat one by one, and then looked at the tent above me, which felt really cool.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Beidi's envoys to come in, led by a man dressed as a Mongolian man, not bad, that is, the hat, and the fur on his body, I looked hot, I don't know what identity Beidi is?

Next to him is a personable man, a little similar to the emperor, and then look at his dress, it should be the emperor's brother, look at the age should be the emperor's brother, there are quite a lot of emperor's brothers today, but I don't know which one?

On the other side of the Mongolian man is a girl dressed in Mongolia, this one should be the princess sent out by Beidi to kiss. The eyebrows are a little heroic, the cheekbones are high, the face is a little round, the eyes are small, the nose is a little collapsed, the mouth is large, and the figure looks quite burly. As far as my aesthetics are concerned, it is not a beauty, of course, there is such a person in the harem, it can be regarded as exotic, the emperor is used to seeing the gentle beauties of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and it seems that it is not bad to experience the wildness outside the plug.

Thinking of this, I secretly glanced at the emperor, fortunately, although the emperor is handsome, but not girly, standing with this princess of Beidi is still very manly, and the height can also be controlled, in fact, the emperor's appearance is also a major factor affecting foreign administration, who said that the emperor's face is not important, I am anxious with him!

The emperor with a mighty hundred officials stood on the steps to greet the Beidi envoys, I was composing on the side, the envoys of Beidi were still climbing the one hundred and eight steps in front of the Guangming Palace, almost the fifth floor, I looked tired, I don't know if they need to eat some covers, this thing eats no sore waist and legs, and it is not difficult to climb the fifth floor. There are also ministers, who have to climb this every day when they come to the court, why some of them are still so fat, I really can't understand it.

Thinking of this, I looked at the civil and military officials, these officials are not bad in terms of appearance alone, except for a few sorry ones, the men's heavenly group of this court is quite pleasing to the eye.

It is said that the ancient imperial examination selection, in addition to their own talents, there are also palace examinations, sorry for the talented, no matter how talented it is, it is useless, the ancient emperor is thirsty for talent, and he is unsightly, but if he often faces it in the future, he can understand, the emperor is also a person, and everyone has a love for beauty, I understand. Therefore, no matter what era it is, you still have to rely on your face to eat, for example, the majestic Prime Minister, the head of a hundred officials, is actually the first of a hundred officials!

My main task is to paint the emperor to receive the envoys of Beidi, there is a very famous painting of the same theme in history, called "Bu Yuan Tu", Yan Liben painted, it is about the Tang Taizong Li Shimin receiving the envoys of Songtsan Gampo, in case of a carelessness my painting can also be passed on, think about it is really a little exciting, so I painted very seriously, imitated the artistic conception of the painting, and painted our dear boss, His Majesty the Emperor, with an upward angle to paint extremely tall and handsome, extravagant, Then the envoy consciously shrunk a little, drawing a shorter one from a top-down angle, tall and low, attacking, and judging the strength and weakness.

Fortunately, the next thing is for the emperor to entertain the envoys of Beidi, this picture does not need to be created, and I have a lot of time to perfect.

The next day, before my painting was perfected, the maid from Beidi's side came to summon her, saying that the little princess of Beidi heard that my painting skills were good and true, and she had painted many concubines in the palace, and she wanted to paint it too. I'm a little confused, this little princess doesn't understand his situation, or is he stupid, you don't seem to be a concubine yet, so anxious to declare sovereignty, saying that other concubines have, you have to have it, how many episodes can you live in such a palace?

Of course, no one in this palace can be offended, I, I'm still honestly pretending to be a grandson, don't you just draw a picture, you can live a few episodes about my!
