Chapter 60: The Fifteenth Day of the First Month

The crowd waited quietly for him to finish. Yu Miaoqing was particularly worried in her heart, because the scroll in the box was now her picture of Chang'e running to the moon.

"Where did this box come from?" Chen Jianjun asked.

"This girl did it." The Queen Mother pointed to Zhang Weizhao and said.

Zhang Weizhao saw that the Queen Mother had pointed at him, and he came out to salute the emperor.

"How did you come up with the idea of doing this? What is this called? ”

"Back to the emperor, this is called the Wanshi Mirror. Recently, there was leisure in the palace, and the trail was made for the queen mother's leisure. Wan Shi Mirror is the name she re-named for the diorama, which is more acceptable to people nowadays.

"How did you know that such a quick scroll can make the person in the painting look like it comes to life?"

Chen Jianjun actually asked about the core part of film technology. Cinematographic film is frame-by-frame, so why is it that in the eyes of the human eye, it is not a separate picture, but a coherent action and character? It's because of the "visual persistence principle". In other words, human vision has a characteristic that the light and shadow taken in by the eye do not disappear immediately, but stay on the retina for a short period of time, during this time period, if a new image enters, it will overlap and coherent with the previous temporary image to form a continuous picture.

But Zhang Weizhao couldn't directly throw out this term, she thought for a while and said: "Xiaodao was born as a doctor and understands the truth of the operation of the physical body." It takes a very short period of time for the human eye to see something clearly, and if a new picture comes into view before this period, the human eye will not be able to tell that these are two separate paintings, but only a coherent picture. ”

Chen Jianjun listened, thought for a while, and slowly nodded: "I see." As he spoke, he turned the mirror over and over again, and scraped the sheepskin on the back cover with his fingernails. After studying the appearance, he leaned over to look at the animation inside, and said as he watched:

"The style of painting is fine, and the characters are elegant. It's a pity that the pen is weaker. This is what you painted? This sentence was asked to Zhang Weizhao.

Zhang Weizhao smiled: "Although the idea of the box was conceived by Xiaodao, the painting inside was not painted by me. ”

Yu Miaoqing walked out and gave a salute: "Thank you for the emperor's compliment." The scrolls inside were painted by courtiers. ”

"Oh? It turned out that you drew it? In the future, we should work more on pen power. This is not to ask you to practice arm strength, although the arm strength can not be small, otherwise the pen is unstable, but more importantly, the mood should be broad, and the characters should not only see whether the part is fine, but also look at the overall charm. "Chen Jianjun's comments are very professional. He doesn't talk nonsense, he gets straight to the point.

"The courtiers have been taught." Yu Miaoqing's teaching is from the bottom of his heart.

"There's also a scroll here, how about the emperor take a look?" The Queen Mother saw that her son was in good spirits, and she felt happy. asked Zhang Weizhao to come over and put on the scroll of the Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers that she had drawn herself.

Chen Jianjun picked up the Wanshi Mirror again, first quickly browsed it, and then slowed down to take a closer look.

"Whose hand is this?" Chen Jianjun is a connoisseur, so it is natural to see the difference between the two at a glance, although the subject matter of the two scrolls is very similar.

"It's a trail." Zhang Weizhao bowed his hand as a courtesy.

"Although this celestial girl is not as detailed as the Chang'e just now, there are several folds of her clothes that have not been clearly described. But the faces and expressions of the people are painted strangely well, the eyes are very bright, and there is a kind of free and easy charm. You are still young now, if you practice more, you can become a big family in the future. Just, are you a doctor or a painter? As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Weizhao with his eyes intent.

"I practice medicine for a living. Drawing is my hobby. Zhang Weizhao replied. She found that the emperor always had a slight impatience in the face of other things, but when he talked about painting, the slight decadence on his face was swept away, and there was a kind of sparkling look in his eyes. Seeing that the emperor asked her very seriously, Zhang Weizhao's attitude of answering was also very serious.

"Oh, that's very good. We are almost the same, I have the world as my profession, and painting is also my hobby. Chen Jianjun said. Hearing this, everyone laughed.

"However", Chen Jianjun laughed at himself again: "There are also imperial histories that say that painting is my main business, and being the emperor is just my sideline." I'm much more a painter than an emperor. "Dayan's speech is very powerful, and criticizing the emperor is not an ordinary poisonous tongue. Of course, this is also because Dayan has a system that encourages speech officials to speak, which will form such a situation.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly. Before she could say anything, Empress Yu had already spoken: "That's because the emperor has always been broad-minded, so they dare to say anything." Some people are outspoken and dare to admonish, while others are just pretending to be extreme in order to gain a false reputation for uprightness. ”

Chen Jianjun listened and said lightly: "What the queen said is true." Then he went to laugh with the Queen Mother again.

Empress Yu was snubbed, but her expression was still very relaxed, and she sat calmly next to watch the emperor and the queen mother chat.

The Queen Mother called Chen Youcong to the side again, and told the emperor that the prince had made a lot of progress recently, and she felt very relieved in her heart. Emperor Wen Yan encouraged the crown prince a few words. Chen Youcong bowed his head and was taught.

In this way, the whole scene looks peaceful and peaceful. But Zhang Weizhao keenly found that from the time Chen Jianjun entered the hall, Chen Youcong consciously stood back, becoming a silent background board, and would not take the initiative to say anything unless asked.

Zhang Weizhao felt that this was not so much that Chen Youcong was afraid of his father, but that he gave in to his father. As soon as he spoke, the ladies in the palace, especially the Queen Mother, would turn their attention to him, and Chen Jianjun didn't seem to like to see this kind of situation.

Chen Jianjun does not have much gentle and caring fatherly heart for Chen Youcong. It's not that Chen Jianjun doesn't like to see this son, but that he doesn't have the consciousness of being a father in his heart. Although biologically speaking, he has long been an adult man, but mentally he is more like a teenager. Therefore, for him, the son means more of a potential competitor, and sooner or later, he will take everything that belongs to him. Instead of being like the kind of mature father, he will thank his son from the bottom of his heart for continuing his life, and is willing to hand over everything he has to his son from top to bottom to inherit.

On the contrary, Chen Youcong is the more stable one. He took care of his father's emotions very much, worked hard when he needed to do things, and retreated when he needed to retreat, trying not to let his father feel threatened because of his existence as a young heir. This is also the wisdom of survival that has grown up in a harsh environment.

The emperor and the queen mother talked and laughed for a while, and then asked the queen mother to move to the Baohe Hall to participate in tonight's palace banquet. The emperor personally invited the Queen Mother to the banquet, giving the Queen Mother enough respect and his filial piety. This is the main purpose of the emperor's visit today.

The palace banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the queen mother, the queen and the golden concubine will inevitably attend. Unless the other concubines have had children and have a noble status, they have no chance to participate.

In addition, important figures in today's clan and the emperor's confidants will also be present. For them, it was naturally a supreme honor to receive the emperor's banquet on this day.

Zhang Weizhao is not suitable to serve the Queen Mother on such an occasion, and stays in Changle Palace with Luluo to entertain himself. Zhang Weizhao personally cooked and ate. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you should eat Lantern Festival. At this time, the Lantern Festival in the north is relatively large and has thick skin and hard stuffing, and Zhang Weizhao thinks it is not delicious. According to the memory of her previous life, she made soft and glutinous small southern rice balls, pothos originally liked sweets, and when she ate such rice balls, she only felt that they were simply delicious in the world, and she was so happy. The other little palace maids also felt greedy when they saw it, and Zhang Weizhao gave everyone a few tastes.

While the master and the big palace maids were out, these little palace maids showed their strengths in the small kitchen, made food and took it out to share with everyone, talking and laughing while eating. When the mood is high, they encourage each other to sing small songs to have fun. Some of the bold palace maids sang the tune of their hometown. These palace maids come from different regions, some Wu Nong whispers, some have northern customs, and they are correspondingly interesting. The little palace maids coaxed Zhang Weizhao to sing one too, Zhang Weizhao thought about it, and sang an ancient style song that he had heard in his previous life. Who knows the ancient style music in the previous life, and it can't arouse the interest of the ancients at all in this life, everyone just laughed and said what kind of song is this, the tune is so weird, and the lyrics are not decent, Sister Zhang, you deliberately made it up to tease us, Zhang Weizhao also laughed with them.

There was still half an hour left before the end of the day, that is, at about eight o'clock in the evening, the Queen Mother returned to the palace. The ancients' concept of time was different from that of today's people, and most people believed that the sunrise and sunset were in accordance with the time of the day, so eight o'clock was not early. After all, the Queen Mother is old, and she is tired after a day of trouble, especially during the palace banquet in the evening, she has to wear a heavy crown, wear a heavy dress, listen to the flattery of all kinds of people, and at the same time encourage and reward these people, which are very exhausting, so the Queen Mother took off her makeup and rested after washing.

Although Zhang Weizhao often followed the Queen Mother's side, he did not do the work of a personal palace maid, so he didn't have to be on duty all night, so he returned to his room and prepared to turn a few pages of a book and go to rest.

I don't want to suddenly hear a very soft knock on the door. When Zhang Weizhao opened the door to look, he found that Feng Hao, the prince's attendant, was standing outside the door.

Feng Hao lowered his voice and said, "Miss Zhang, the prince is waiting for you outside the palace gate." As he spoke, he handed over a fox fur coat.

Chen Youcong has never met Zhang Weizhao in private. Today's incident, Zhang Weizhao's first reaction was whether something would happen? After a moment's thought, she took the big coat, draped it over her body, and closed the door with her backhand. Follow Feng Hao and walk out quietly along the side corridor.

Winter nights are cold. Fortunately, this large coat is soft and thick, blocking a lot of the cold.

Chen Youcong waited in the shadows outside the palace walls. Seeing Zhang Weizhao come out, he whispered to her, "Can you go over there with me?" He pointed to the northwest of the Forbidden City.

That's the direction of Anle Hall.
