Had breakfast.

With nothing to do, Luki decided to go out and buy some painting tools to pass the time.

Lux, on the other hand, and Kahina have to go to their respective colleges to make final preparations for the holiday.

Quinn went to the pro-barracks.

Fiona learned that Lu Qi was just going out to buy things, and she didn't plan to follow, and planned to continue practicing swords while she was in a good state after dinner.

As for Bobby, she is lying in the living room in a happy daze at the moment.

"Let's go." Luki sat on top of the carriage and said to Yurina outside the carriage.

"Yes."

After a reply, the carriage drove slowly.

This time, the goal is also clear, and it is heading straight for the streets of Dulang.

It was the famous art center of Wangdu, where many craftsmen, carvers, painters, musicians, etc. were concentrated.

After about an hour of rolling through the morning bustle of the streets, the carriage stopped.

"Your Highness, it's here."

Outside the carriage, Yuna's voice was heard.

Lu Qiyan, who closed his eyes and recuperated himself, opened his eyes when he heard this, yawned slightly, and then got up and got out of the carriage.

The street is bustling with people, and it looks very spacious, and there are various storefronts on both sides of the road.

You can also see some sculptures and paintings placed on the side of the road for people to see.

From time to time, some musicians can be heard playing their own songs, and a variety of music sounds, but there is a sense of harmony without disturbing each other.

Although he studied music with Sana for a while, Lu Qi still didn't know much about it.

But the sculptures and paintings that lined the streets, he could read them now.

As I walked down the street and looked around, I found a few nice exhibits.

After walking a little way forward, Lu Qi saw a group of people gathered together, quite lively, and suddenly became a little interested.

So he stepped forward as well.

There are a lot of people here, but the place is big enough that it's not crowded.

In addition, many people noticed Lu Qi and gave him his place.

The appearance of His Royal Highness the prince did attract a lot of attention, but at this time, more people's eyes were still focused on the front.

When Lu Qi got closer, he found that this was an art exhibition.

Many excellent paintings are exhibited here for people to enjoy.

Which painting has more people in front of it means which painting is better.

When Luci approached one of the most popular paintings, he looked up and saw at a glance that the quality of this painting was indeed higher than that of other paintings of the same period.

In front of me is a painting of sunflowers, and the weather can tell that the sunflowers are about to ripen when summer is approaching autumn.

The sun, the fields, the woods, and the blue sky catch people's eyes at first glance.

"It's a really good picture."

"It gives people a very comfortable feeling."

"I don't know which artist it is."

"Is the artist there? I'm interested in buying it privately. ”

People are also very impressed with the evaluation of this painting, and some people even want to pay for it directly.

"Your Royal Highness, what do you think of this painting?"

Lu Qi was watching, and suddenly a crisp female voice came from beside him.

When he heard the sound, he turned his head to look over, and saw a young woman standing not far in front of him, with an elegant and beautiful face, a slender figure, long brown hair spilling down her shoulders, and a white skirt, which looked very beautiful, and looked a little noble.

At first glance, it is the kind of noble temperament cultivated in a large family.

At this moment, her blue eyes were looking at Lu Qi, and there was a bit of surprise in them.

Although I had seen it from a distance just now, if you look at it up close, this Royal Highness the prince is really handsome as rumored.

Very rare.

And his eyes were incomparably clear, like two jewels.

This makes her look at it and have a feeling of appreciating a work of art.

Lu Qi withdrew his gaze from the woman and looked at the sunflower painting again: "I think this painting is indeed quite good." ”

A smile appeared on the woman's face, and she was about to thank His Highness for his compliment, when she heard his words and follow-up.

"It's just that there are still a few fly in the ointment."

Luci continued.

The woman's eyes blinked, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "I don't know where they are?" ”

"In the first place, the priority is not clear enough."

Lu Qi didn't hide it, and pointed out casually: "At a glance, the sunflowers, the blue sky, the white clouds, the woods, and the fields, each of them is well drawn, but if you want to express everything, the protagonist is not so conspicuous, and this is the first shortcoming." ”

The woman listened, showed a thoughtful expression, and asked again, "What about the second place?" ”

"The second place is that the light and shadow are not deep enough, and the color contrast is not enough."

Hearing this, Lu Qi continued: "Such a painting is indeed comfortable for the eyes to look at, but this is also the problem. The impact is not strong enough, there is no kind of impact that is impressive at first glance, maybe I look at this painting well now, but when I go back, I will forget everything about this painting in three days. ”

At this time, his evaluation also attracted the attention of many people around him.

As soon as I heard him say this, I also looked at the painting again, and I felt the same way.

The woman also glanced at the painting, observed it carefully, and then looked at Lu Qi again, and her expression was a little humble and asked: "What about the third place?" ”

"The third place is the problem of painting."

Lu Qi smiled: "There is nothing to say about this, I can see that the painter has a good level, but the heat is still not in place, obviously this is the work she painted when she was growing up." ”

"His Royal Highness is so right."

The woman's eyes lit up at this time, and she also admired it a little: "This is exactly the painting I made two years ago, and it was well received by many people at that time. There are still too many shortcomings, and if I were to paint the same painting again, it might be different. ”

When the people around heard this, they immediately understood.

The woman was the artist of this painting, and she was a little surprised.

This woman looked like she was no more than twenty years old, and two years ago she was even younger, could she paint at such a young age?

"I didn't expect you to be the owner of the painting, disrespectful."

Lu Qi couldn't help but glance at the woman more.

A good-looking smile appeared on the woman's face: "It's my honor to get His Royal Highness's comments, I don't know if I can delay you for a while?" ”

Lu Qi thought for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

When the woman heard this, she immediately moved, and she ran to her painting, and then moved it to Luci along with the easel.

Then he quickly took all kinds of oil brushes, and looked at Lu Qi expectantly: "Can you ask His Royal Highness the Prince to change this painting for me?" ”

Lu Qi paused, he didn't expect this woman to be so direct.

How can there be such a request for redrawing.

And this painting was made two years ago, how can it be so easy to change.

People who don't know think that this woman is deliberately embarrassing Lu Qi.

But Lu Qi didn't feel the woman's malice, and from her twinkling eyes, it could be seen that she really wanted Lu Qi to help refine it.

"Okay."

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Qi did not refuse.

There is still some difficulty in refining this painting, after all, the painting is already very brilliant.

But for Lu Qi now, it's just a small meaning.

He's got a lot of confidence.

Picking up the brush and dipping it in the paint, Lu Qi did not hesitate at all, and landed on the painting in front of him, breaking the silence of the painting immediately.

At this moment, the audience around me was a little distressed.

If the painting is not good, this stroke is enough to destroy the whole painting.

The owner of the painting was very focused at the moment, and his eyes were watching Lu Qi's movements seriously.

From the feeling of Lu Qi when he held the pen, she could see that His Royal Highness the prince in front of her must have good painting skills.

And Lu Qi's movements are also very skillful, and he did not hesitate at all from the beginning of his pen.

It was as if in his mind, he had conceived the same painting countless times.

All kinds of pigments, all kinds of color mixing, without any pause at any step, give a confident beauty.

The onlookers were a little engrossed, and no one spoke.

And the woman's gaze couldn't help but shift from the painting to Lu Qi's face for a few seconds, staring at this handsome face, she had a little urge in her heart to immediately make a portrait of him.

Resisting this impulse, the woman looked back at the painting, her eyes shining brightly.

The painting in front of me has changed differently from just now.

She can naturally see the gap in the changes.

In this way, more than half an hour passed.

There were a lot more onlookers around, and they all looked at the repainting that was close to the finished product, and let out an exclamation.

With the last stroke, Lu Qi stopped, and after looking at it, he also showed a somewhat satisfied expression.

"It suddenly feels different!

"Yes, if it only gave me a comfortable feeling before, now it makes me feel like I've been there."

"It's called immersive!"

"With such a change, the value of this painting feels more than several times greater."

"I feel a little craving for melon seeds."

"I'll buy ten pounds!"

Around, an exclamation of comments was issued.

After Lu Qi's retouched paintings, you can still see the shadow of the previous painting, but it gives people a completely different feeling.

If it was just a good thing to look at, it was a beautiful feeling.

At this moment, this sunflower painting brings people the feeling that summer is passing and autumn is coming, which makes people feel immersive and touching.

The woman was fascinated, heard the comments of the people around her, came back to her senses, and said unabashedly amazed in her eyes: "This change is also fantastic!" ”

She even felt the urge to rush forward and hold the painting to look at it carefully.

At this moment, she realized that in front of Lu Qi, even if it was her current self, she was at most a newbie who had just come out of the oven.

She thought that her current self, drawing the same picture again, would definitely be better than just now.

However, after reading Lu Qi's at this moment, she suddenly knew that even if she painted the same one now, it would not be better than the one in front of her.

"If you're satisfied." Lucky's smile.

At this time, there is a sense of vanity that every time I finish cooking, I get a good review from the girls.

He still likes it.

"Not only satisfied, when I return home, I must hang it in my bedroom!" The woman's white and tender face was more rosy, with a sense of joy like a treasure.

"Returning home?"

Luki heard the key word and repeated it.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself."

Only then did the woman remember that she didn't seem to have declared her name yet, so she made an elegant lady's salute, "First meeting, Your Royal Highness, I'm Panise Margaret from Grande." ”

"Margaret."

Lu Qi was a little impressed by the name, and after about two seconds, he suddenly said, "First meeting, Princess Margaret." ”

"You can just call me Panis." Panis winked and smiled at Luki.

Lu Qi still had some surprises at the moment.

Granette, a country located in the southeast of Demacia, is not bad.

Demacia has been an ally for many years, and the friendly relationship between the two countries goes back a long way.

And Panis, standing in front of her, is King Grande's only daughter.

In terms of identity, she is on the same level as Lu Qi.

"I didn't expect that on the first day I came to the royal capital of Debang, I could meet His Royal Highness by chance, I don't know if this is fate?"

Panis looked at Lucky's beautiful eyes at the moment and said with a smile.

"I guess it's some kind of fate." Luck nodded.

Panis looked at Lu Qi and took the initiative to say, "What is Your Highness going to do next?" If you don't mind, can I join us? This is my first time in the royal capital, and it would be great if His Highness could show me around. ”

Lu Qi was a little big when he heard it, if it was someone else, he would have refused directly.

But the one in front of me, after all, is the princess of a neighboring country, and I'm afraid it's not good to refuse.

After thinking about it, he said euphemistically: "I'm going to buy some painting tools, I'm afraid I don't have much time." ”

"Then please leave this to me!"

Panis's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she trotted away.

Leaving a confused Lucky.

Soon, he saw Panis, followed by several servants, walking over.

And those servants have a lot of painting tools in their hands, and they all look brand new.

At this time, Lu Qiqi remembered.

Groland may be a small country, but it is a country known for its arts.

Many of the famous artworks that have been found in the Runeterra are from this country.

And this country is naturally indispensable to the art of painting.

On this National Day, there was also trade between Grante and Demacia, and most of the things traded were these.

"These are some of the best quality painting tools in my country, please accept them, Your Highness."

Panis added, fearing that Luqi would refuse, "Just as a thank you gift for your Highness to help me repaint." ”

To be honest, the quality of so many painting tools in front of me is even better than that of Durant Street.

After accepting it, Lu Qi didn't have to worry about running out of tools for painting for a while.

It's just that he has a vague hunch that there will be a lot of trouble after accepting it.

However, looking at Panis, who was very enthusiastic at the moment, he didn't know how to refuse at all.

At this moment, a voice came from not far away.

"Panis, why did you sneak out when you just arrived in the royal capital today? I'm not telling you, I'll come out when I'm done with business! ”

A strong male voice rang out.

When Lu Qi looked, he saw a middle-aged man in a brown coat, also with brown hair, walking towards him, with a bit of majesty.

Panis's face changed, she looked at the man, and lowered her head: "I'm sorry, uncle, I couldn't hold back. ”

"Alright, go back with me first, and we'll see His Majesty the King later."

As the man spoke, he noticed Lu Qi, was slightly stunned, and after reacting for a second, he also saluted, "First meeting, His Royal Highness, I'm Dupont Margaret." ”

Although it was only the first time they met, it did not prevent him from recognizing Luffy's identity.

One is because Luqi wears the coat of arms of the Shield family.

The second is his outstanding temperament and excellent looks.

Recognizable, quack-high.

"First meeting."

Lu Qi bowed slightly, and also bowed.

The man, also surnamed Margaret, appears to be Panis's uncle and appears to be the king's younger brother.

"I didn't expect to meet His Highness here, but we are about to meet His Royal Highness the Third, so we have to take our leave first."

DuPont was quite polite and Luqi said.

When Lu Qi heard this, he immediately nodded: "That's a pity, I'm still going to take her around, so goodbye." ”

Du Pont smiled when he heard this: "If you have this idea, after seeing His Majesty the Third, I can ask Panis to go to His Highness." ”

Lucci: "."

If you knew it, you wouldn't be cheap.

Looking at the anticipation flashing in Panis's eyes, he immediately said again: "I can only wait for a while, I've been a little busy lately." ”

"Then it's settled." Panis's eyes did not diminish in anticipation, and she beckoned goodbye: "See you another day, Your Highness." ”

After saying goodbye, she left a bunch of painting gifts and left with Dupont.

Yuna then asked, "Your Highness, what should you do with these things?" ”

Lu Qi sighed: "Take it." ”

This time, it saves a lot of time.

All the painting tools left by Panis were loaded onto the carriage, and the whole carriage sank.

Then, he drove slowly and headed home.

In the carriage, he took a few looks, and found that all kinds of painting tools were readily available, paints, brushes, canvases, easels.

It can be seen that this batch of tools is still worth a lot of money.
