Chapter 40: The Court Painter Who Took Bribes

"Mr. Su, you have worked hard for me to paint a portrait, this is a small gift for you."

A beautiful woman avoided other people's eyes and handed a piece of gold cake to Su Chen's hand.

"You're welcome, girl." Su Chen happily received the gold cake into his sleeve.

"I hope Mr. Su can bother with the portrait." The woman said.

"That's natural, Su will do his best to draw the girl's beauty."

After that,

Su Chen picked up the brush and began to paint the girl in front of him on the drawing board.

Yes, now Su Chen is a painter.

After working as a marquis, a general, and a prisoner, Su Chen wanted to live a peaceful life, so he went to the Han Palace to find a position as a court painter.

Not only can you enjoy a quiet life, but you can also earn some small money.

After a stick of incense, a beautiful woman appeared on the drawing paper.

"How does the girl feel about Su's drawing?" Su Chen showed the painting to the girl.

"It's so good-looking, worthy of Mr. Su." The woman said in surprise.

In this palace, it is said that Mr. Su's portrait is very beautiful, and there are already many palace maids who have been favored by the emperor because of looking for Mr. Su's portrait, and it is true.

Is this dignified and gorgeous woman really herself?

"Wait for the little woman to be ... After that, there is also a lot of gratitude. The woman said shyly.

Su Chen didn't believe this at all.

Because many people have said it, but after being favored by the emperor, no one has fulfilled his promise.

Hum! What the longevity marquis said is right, and a woman's words cannot be believed.

"Next." Su Chen continued.

"It's my turn, Mr. Su's it's my turn." A woman walked over and secretly stuffed a gold cake according to the process.

"There's Mr. Lausu."

After drawing a few portraits, Su Chen had already harvested a lot of gold cakes, and after drawing the last one, he could call it a day.

Su Chen looked at the girl in front of him, and the girl also looked at Su Chen.

"Isn't Mr. Su still painting?" The girl said curiously.

"Did the girl forget something?" Su Chen gave the girl a hint of action.

"Nope." The girl whispered.

"Sister-in-law?" Su Chen opened his mouth tentatively.

"You know me?" The girl said in surprise.

"Yes, we are from the same village." Su Chen casually told a lie.

There was no extra money to earn, so Su Chen reluctantly picked up the pen and continued to paint.

"I have a habit of painting paintings, that is, I need something to stimulate me to draw well, and if I don't have this stimulation, the level may drop a little." Su Chen said to Wang Zhaojun.

"It's okay, Mr. Su just paints." Wang Zhaojun said.

Su Chen smacked his lips, he deserves to be one of the four beauties, can I get the emperor's favor without bribing my conceited beauty?

It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that you underestimated my Su someone's shamelessness.

"Miss Wang, look at this portrait." Su Chen handed the finished product to Wang Zhaojun and looked at it.

"You! It's too much! ”

Wang Zhaojun looked at Su Chen's portrait and was a little speechless.

She is indeed very confident in her appearance, and she can feel it from the jealous eyes of the palace maids around her.

But what does this painter mean by painting himself so ordinary?

Other people who are far inferior in appearance to themselves are painted by him as fairies who have fallen into the mortal world, and he is painted as an ordinary man mixed in the fairy world.

How can anyone be so kind to his fellow villagers!

"Girl, Su is going to hand over these paintings to those palace eunuchs, you just wait for the emperor's roll call." Su Chen took the portrait in Wang Zhaojun's hand.

"Don't!" Wang Zhaojun grabbed Su Chen.

"You painted me so ugly, you can't use this one!" Wang Zhaojun said unrelentingly.

This is to send this portrait to the emperor, then she will no longer be able to get the emperor's favor, and in the end she can only die alone in this palace.

"Girl, you are a palace maid in the palace, and what kind of style do you have to pull and pull with a painter like me." Su Chen waved his hand and broke free from Wang Zhaojun.

"You have to know what you look like, and I will draw what you look like. If you are dissatisfied with this portrait, I can't do anything, I can only draw the true face inside and give it to the emperor. Su Chen said.

"Nope! I don't look like I'm painted. ”

"You think it's useless, I still think I'm the best beautiful man in the world." Su Chen said shamelessly.

Su Chen, who said that he was the most beautiful man in the world, would not admit it, and he would be second at most.

"This girl, do you think she's good-looking?"

Now those palace maids haven't finished yet, Su Chen asked a girl next to him.

"It's not pretty." The palace maid glanced at Wang Zhaojun and said with a clear conscience.

Of course it's not good-looking, only if she doesn't look good, the emperor won't spoil her, and her chances will be more.

"Miss Wang, did you hear me?" Su Chen stared at Wang Zhaojun and said.

Emei is peerless, and it can make the flowers shy in the forest.

Wang Zhaojun, who has the posture of 'falling geese', is undoubtedly very beautiful, at least in Su Chen's opinion, she is more in line with her own aesthetics than Yu Ji.

It's just that if Wang Zhaojun, who didn't go to get married, would he still be one of the four beauties, would he still have the reputation of 'falling geese'?

"Shame on you!" Wang Zhaojun gritted his teeth and said.

"You took their finances to paint them so beautiful, just because I didn't bribe you, you painted me like this!" Wang Zhaojun complained to Su Chen aggrievedly.

"Girl, don't be innocent, I, Su Chen, have painted countless paintings in the court, and I haven't received a single five-baht coin." Su Chen said righteously.

What I received was just a small gold cake, and I really didn't receive a five-baht coin.

"The money you collect is in your sleeve, I saw it with my own eyes!" Wang Zhaojun grabbed Su Chen's sleeve.

Su Chen let Wang Zhaojun search his sleeve.

Rummaging through Su Chen's sleeve, Wang Zhaojun, who didn't find anything, went to find another sleeve, but still found nothing.

"Miss Wang, after the inspection is completed, you can let Su go." Su Chen looked at Wang Zhaojun with a smug expression.

At this time, Wang Zhaojun bit his lip, and his eyes were a little wet.

"You must be hiding somewhere else!" Wang Zhaojun's tone of voice was already crying.

Wang Zhaojun endured the grievance and continued to grope around Su Chen's body, trying to find Su Chen's bribe-taking money.

Su Chen looked at Wang Zhaojun, who was holding back his crying, and felt pity in his heart.

You're crying, don't hold back, I want to see the delicate beauty crying in front of your eyes.

"Don't touch my pants, I'm not hiding them in them."
