Chapter 106: Wan'er's Birthday
Another pilgrimage will say.
Outside the Xianju Palace, Liu Yi, who had just escorted Wu Zetian back to the hall from the court, quietly asked Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing beside him: "Wan'er!" Is it empty? ”
"I'm free!" Shangguan Wan'er looked straight ahead and replied quietly.
"Understand, you're coming to my house!" Liu Yi whispered again.
Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Liu Yi quickly, nodded slightly, and didn't make a sound, tomorrow is a special day, she has been expecting Liu Yi to give her a surprise, and specially begged Wu Zetian to give her a leave. Liu Yi said it at this time, which made her very happy.
-------
In Liu Yi's study, Shangguan Wan'er, who had been carefully dressed, sat far away from Liu Yi and watched Liu Yi writing.
Liu Yi said casually as he wrote: "Wan'er, what time is it today?" ”
"August 11!" Shangguan Wan'er said angrily, she came over with hope, but she didn't expect Liu Yi to say anything, let her sit on the side, didn't let her read anything, and asked her what day it was, which made her very disappointed.
"Oh!? I seem to have heard someone say one day that August 11 is her birthday!" Liu Yi stopped his pen and looked at Shangguan Wan'er and smiled.
Hearing Liu Yi say this, Shangguan Wan'er's expression changed greatly, originally this person still remembered what he said, but his face did not change, and he said angrily: "I thought you forgot!"
"Although I have a poor surname, I will never forget Wan'er's birthday!" Liu Yi put down his pen and said with a grin, "When I said that I wanted to give you a gift!"
Shangguan Wan'er stood up and walked quickly in front of Liu Yi, her face was already full of joy, "San Lang, what did you give me?" "After so many years, except for her mother who would celebrate her when she was alive, no one has remembered it in the past few years, and every year on her birthday, she is sad and depressed alone, but fortunately Liu Yi remembered it this year, and invited her to come out to celebrate, Liu Yi just said, it has made her happy, and it doesn't matter what Liu Yi gives her, as long as Liu Yi has this heart, it is enough.
"I've always owed you a poem, and I'll make up the poem today as a birthday gift for you!" Liu Yi pointed to the poem that had just been written in front of him.
What kind of poem to send to Shangguan Wan'er, Liu Yi racked his brains for several days, and couldn't think of a very good and suitable poem, so he could only replace it with Li Bai's poem "Qingping Tune".
Hearing Liu Yi say this, Shangguan Wan'er was even more happy, walked quickly in front of Liu Yi, looked at the poem Liu Yi had just written, and chanted softly:
The clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon;
If it weren't for the jade mountain, it would meet Yaotai under the moon.
Liu Yi looked at Shangguan Wan'er, who was tasting poetry, and said: "In the next clumsy, Wan'er's beauty can't be described in words..."
"San Lang, the poems you wrote are extraordinary, and Wan'er admires them very much!" Shangguan Wan'er raised her head and looked at Liu Yi with a happy face, "You used such words to describe Wan'er, Wan'er is so happy!"
Liu Yi put away a shameful mentality, and said with a smile: "It's good if you like it!"
"Wan'er likes the poems you write," Shangguan Wan'er smiled, it was very good-looking.
Although it has been in contact with Shangguan Wan'er for a long time, this beauty's laughing demeanor still makes Liu Yi a little obsessed, Shangguan Wan'er's smile is really seductive, especially in front of himself such a affectionate smile, so that Liu Yi unconsciously sinks, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, this is true, if Wu Zetian deliberately sent Shangguan Wan'er to confuse or seduce himself with hue, then he may have already fallen into the trap.
"Wan'er, sit down, I'll make you a picture!" Liu Yi put away his smile and said to Shangguan Wan'er who was full of affection very seriously.
"Oh?!" Shangguan Wan'er was even more pleasantly surprised, "Today, I finally let me see how good you are at painting!"
Shangguan Wan'er said, also sitting down on the side.
Liu Yi did not pick up a pen and dip it in ink as Shangguan Wan'er thought, but picked up a board-like thing, supported it on the ground with a shelf, and held something that was not like a brush in his hand.
"Yi'an, what are you doing here?" Shangguan Wan'er was puzzled.
"Don't move, you'll know in a moment!" Liu Yi ordered, and walked over to fiddle with Shangguan Wan'er's sitting posture.
Shangguan Wan'er didn't ask anymore, and showed some gentle smiles as Liu Yi instructed.
Liu Yi used his own hard ink pen to quickly sketch a rough outline on the rice paper, and then slowly drew the face on this outline. This is Liu Yi's best at sketching, this is also a necessary means as a secret agent, in any case, there is no camera and other auxiliary equipment, is to use sketches to draw the appearance of personnel or geographical conditions, Liu Yi has a talent for painting since childhood, after professional training, a hard pen sketch is very good, in today's soft pen rule, hard pen painting is no one has ever created, if you use a very fast speed to make a painting, and the real person is very similar, It will definitely surprise Shangguan Wan'er.
It only took less than two quarters of an hour for Liu Yi to draw a lifelike Shangguan Wan'er, and compared it with the real Shangguan Wan'er who was sitting there smiling for a while, Liu Yi showed a satisfied smile.
"Wan'er, come and see, how is my painting?" Liu Yi put down his tools and greeted Shangguan Wan'er, who was already looking at him with a curious look.
Hearing Liu Yi say this, Shangguan Wan'er, who had already been unable to help herself, walked over quickly, and when she saw the painting made by Liu Yi, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Yi'an, how did you draw this?" ”
"You don't think it's like a painting?" Liu Yi asked rhetorically.
"Am I so beautiful?" Shangguan Wan'er blushed slightly, stroked her face, and said a little awkwardly.
In the painting, an unusually handsome beauty is staring at the person looking at the painting affectionately, even if she stands on the other side, the eyes of the person in the painting are also following, Shangguan Wan'er looked at the person in the painting, the appearance is very similar to what she saw in the bronze mirror, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed. Liu Yi's painting style is too different from what he and others have done, it is very realistic, and there is no exaggeration in the character creation.
Liu Yi also understands that the style of Tang Dynasty painting is that the characters are somewhat exaggerated, they are all very plump, everyone looks chubby, although it looks good, but some have lost their original taste, the painting he made is completely different from the current style, it is a completely realistic style, the characters in the pen are basically the same as in reality, Shangguan Wan'er, who is accustomed to the exaggerated painting style of the characters nowadays, is not surprised to see such a expressive painting.
"You are much more beautiful than the person in the painting," Liu Yi looked at Shangguan Wan'er with a smug expression, "How is it, are you still satisfied?" ”
"Well, satisfied, can you give it to me?" Shangguan Wan'er looked at Liu Yi with a blank look and pleaded.
