Meng Xing came to the princess's mansion very early, sat in the hall and drank tea, waiting for Princess Yangping and Zhuo Lingyan to dress up.

Half an hour later, two women walked out. Princess Yangping is still dressed in cold and noble clothes, but Zhuo Lingyan is dressed as a fairy.

"Still didn't get anything yesterday?" Princess Yangping asked.

"yes. I've walked all over the inner city, but still haven't found anything. Meng Xing said.

"But I heard that you went to Yichun Courtyard and competed with Xing Yixuan for the Oiran lady." Princess Yangping's expression was still cold, making it impossible to tell whether she was angry or didn't care.

Meng Xing almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, and forcibly held back, this princess sent someone to follow her? Could it be that those two subordinates were sent by the princess?

He coughed and said, "I'm the one who went to Yichun Courtyard to check if there is a demon gate." ”

"Really?" Princess Yangping replied expressionlessly, and walked out first.

Zhuo Lingyan glanced at Meng Xing up and down, and said, "Flower heart big radish!" ”

Meng Xing smiled bitterly and followed behind, Emperor Daqin's three palaces and six courtyards, why don't you talk about people's hearts? Those princes and nobles, which one is not three wives and four concubines? They also went to the Qinglou and the Sect Shop every day, and no one dared to say anything.

Princess Yangping sat in her luxurious golden silk nanmu carriage, and Zhuo Lingyan naturally sat with the princess.

Meng Xing was still riding a horse, accompanied by the attendants, and the armor guards on both sides, driving towards the outside of the city in a mighty manner, and there were also other young ladies and gentlemen following along the way, forming a longer procession, attracting the attention of passers-by.

All the way out of the city, go straight to Qingyun Mountain in the western suburbs, about thirty miles away from the capital.

After walking for more than an hour, I finally came to the foot of Qingyun Mountain.

This Qingyun Mountain is not high, only about six or seven hundred meters.

At the foot of the mountain, there were already some noble young ladies who came, among them was the little marquis surnamed Lu, surrounded by some talented people in Confucian shirts.

When the princess's carriage drove here, some of the little princes and county lords came to greet them.

The little marquis Lu Qingshu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked over, arching his hand and saying, "See Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

A group of talented people behind him also followed suit, and Lu Qingshu followed to introduce them, including famous poets in the capital, calligraphers, piano skills, chess and painting skills.

Lu Qingshu said with a smile: "The princess is a female champion, and she likes poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she invited them to come, and she can help the princess." ”

The cold and noble Princess Yangping nodded slightly: "I have a heart." ”

Lu Qingshu's face was happy, and the princess's sentence of "I have a heart" showed that she was a little satisfied with his approach.

Lu Qingshu glanced at Meng Xing, this head catcher of the yamen really followed, but it was like the princess's personal guard, and the fairy next to him was on par with the princess.

Some maids and servants brought tables and placed them by the small lake at the foot of the mountain, and put various fruit bowls and refreshments on the table.

Those little princes and county lords began to get together in twos and threes to talk and eat some snacks and so on.

Meng Xing, Princess Yangping, and Zhuo Lingyan sat together, eating and admiring the scenery of the lake and mountains. Princess Yangping seems a little out of place, and she doesn't fit in with other little princes, county lords, and the like, but likes to be alone.

After eating for a while, Zhuo Lingyan said, "Meng Xing, you can help me draw." ”

If you, a holy woman, don't concentrate on studying the formation, you will become stinky and beautiful. Meng Xing thought to himself and said, "The day before yesterday, I asked you to make something for me, have you made it?" ”

"It's done." Zhuo Lingyan threw him a storage bag.

Meng Xing was not polite, and directly turned the storage bag into his own and put it away. Well, this storage bag can also be given to Senior Sister Xiao and Senior Sister Liu, the people in the martial arts cultivation system are not as rich as the people in the Daomen, and there are too few ways to make money, unless they rely on robbery.

Meng Xing set up his own special easel, spread rice paper on the easel, and then began to grind the ink.

"Stand in front, stand closer to the lake, and I'll draw for you." He snorted at Zhuo Lingyan and said.

"Let's talk about it, if you want me to paint in the future, you have to pay for it, or exchange it for something. The same goes for princesses. ”

"It's okay for the palace to pay, but the price can't be too high." Princess Yangping said lightly.

"Count you cheaper, thirty taels when you are free, and one hundred taels when you are busy." Meng Xingdao.

"You're really going to make money. It's more than tripled when it's busy. When are you busy? Princess Yangping said.

"For example, when I have something to do, I call it busy, and when I don't have something to do, I call it usual."

Whether you have something or not, it's not up to you to say something, you say that there is something, and if you don't have it, it will become something. Princess Yangping snorted in her heart.

While speaking, Zhuo Lingyan was already standing by the lake, with his hands outstretched, standing like a fairy.

This situation immediately attracted the attention of other little princes, little county lords, little marquis and the like, and they looked at them curiously one by one.

"What is this for?"

"What is that shelf for, it's still covered with rice paper, is it used for writing? Is that convenient? ”

"This is deliberately eye-catching, princess people, doing things is maverick."

Many aristocratic sons and ladies talked about it.

On the other side, Lu Qingshu's heart moved, walked up to the talented man who was good at painting, and said: "Painter Wang, you also go and paint a picture for that girl, she is the person next to the princess, if you attract the attention of the princess, you can rise to prominence." ”

Painter Wang nodded, a little excited in his heart, today is his opportunity to show his talent, if he paints well, the princess likes it, and he may not necessarily fall in love with him, maybe he can really rise to the top, if he can become a horse master, he doesn't have to work hard in this life, and he doesn't have to work hard to take the imperial examination.

So, a table was also placed not far from Meng Xing, covered with rice paper, and the painter Wang looked at Zhuo Lingyan and began to paint her.

On the other side, Meng Xing had already begun to outline Zhuo Lingyan's physiognomy outline, and he was very serious with one stroke at a time.

Some people couldn't bear it anymore, so they gathered to watch how the two men painted.

"Huh! There is something peculiar about this painting, and it seems that I have never seen it before. ”

"What kind of gimmick is this, right? Deliberately eye-catching. ”

The onlookers behind Meng Xing said, and then ran to see the Wang painter's work, and watched it with relish.

"It's still Master Wang's strong painting skills, and he can draw the outline of a beautiful woman so quickly."

"Yes, yes! The person dressed as a guard will put on a show, and if he can't draw it, he won't paint it, and after a while, he will lose the princess's face, and the princess won't stop him. ”

The cold and noble Princess Yangping still sat there, as if those things had nothing to do with her, she ate snacks and drank tea slowly.

Lu Qingshu had a smile on his face, he deliberately let those talented people follow, just to make this kid embarrassed and conspicuous when he painted, and slapped him in the face.

Lu Qingshu was worried that he would be seen by the princess as deliberately targeting Meng Xing, so he called all the people who knew how to play chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, and by the way, he just happened to please the princess, and let those talented people compose poems, play chess, play the piano and the like for the princess, with the princess's temperament, she will definitely like these.

He was a little grateful to Meng Xing, if it weren't for this guy, he wouldn't have thought of a better way to please the princess.
