Chapter 10: Portrait of the Empress
Li Xin looked at the woman in the painting, and her questioning gaze may be telling others that she has complex thoughts at this moment. Maybe I wanted to ask Zhan Tianyou before, but after I changed my mind, I wanted to ask Hongli even more.
Hongli ~ You come and tell me that the woman in this painting is me, right?
Zhan Tianyou gave the answer before Hongli, this is our Qing Dynasty Empress.
"Are you sure it's me" She waited for an answer, for someone else to tell her.
He went up to look at her portrait, and when he had seen it, he turned his head to look at the queen, and then he looked at the painting again, this time from head to toe, and carefully and seriously looked at it again.
Dear ~ This is too much like you. Once he decides, he does not allow anyone to refute the previous words for any reason, this is the Qianlong Emperor and Li Xin is the empress of the Emperor.
She tried to accept what Hongli said, looking at the woman in the portrait, just as Hongli said before, whether it was her hair and eyes, her clothes, and the peach blossoms in her hands, they all described the painter vividly.
Li Xin was overjoyed and shouted to Ulanala, come too.
The attendants brought a gold-rimmed picture frame, put the queen's portrait in it, and took time to hang it in the Kunning Palace, and hung it in the middle of the Dongnuan Pavilion in a better position.
Li Xin was reluctant to hang the portrait on the East Warm Pavilion, but hung it above the main hall, because it was more conspicuous.
"Why do you want to hang the East Warm Pavilion?"
Li Xin said this, and he could only acquiesce.
I think that whoever you are, as soon as you walk a few steps inside this gate, you will see the portrait of our queen mother.
When the palace attendants heard the news, they joined hands with a few people, and the maids spread out the scrolls, and the attendants began to put them in the frames, and everything was done one by one according to the emperor's requirements until the binding was completed.
The painter is taking care of the maid on the side, so don't mess up such a beautiful painting.
Li was overjoyed, and couldn't stop praising his exquisite painting, how could he not know about it before, and it felt like the first time he painted a portrait. She took out gold and silver and gave it to the painter, and deliberately praised him.
Ulanala still has to wait for his son Yongqi and mother and son to draw together.
Mu Si Lijia hopes that it would be good if there were flowers in everyone's portraits later, and the painter would paint us more beautifully.
Li Xin said that at the end of the garden of Kunning Palace, there is a Gesang flower that is blooming brightly in the past few days, the boss looks strange and neat, and the purple flower is in his eyes, and even his mood has become comfortable. The main thing is that the flowers all grow in the open space, and when the garden is large, I rarely go there, and it is a pity that it blooms alone in the back, and no one appreciates it.
Mu Si Lijia knew her thoughts, and if this was the case, then go and cut her back, and arrange a flower outside the palace gate. The matter was quickly decided, and Concubine Jia took it to the garden of Kunning Palace for her attendants.
Mu Silijia learned to cut the flower vine with the attendant, grabbed the sickle with her right hand, gently pinched the flower vine with two fingers, used the sharpest position of the sickle, and gently used a little force to aim at the flower vine, and the flower vine was cut off.
Concubine Jia dropped the sickle, picked up the cut flower vine, turned around and told the maid that the first knife in the palace had been successfully completed, and the maid took the vine and looked forward to the second knife of the concubine. The maid put all the cut flowers into the bamboo basket, and the big guy cut the flowers and vines at a fast speed, and after a while, all the bamboo baskets were full.
Li Xin and Ulanara tied garlands with their hands, and the two maids used the fallen petals to spread an even layer on the ground, and then fixed the tied garlands on the ground into multiple butterfly shapes.
Wan Xiao rushed to the front, asked people to go to Kunning Palace to bring a big chair, and put it next to the tied butterfly garland, and the pure concubine lost her usual reserve, and had to paint a portrait of Erlang's legs.
The time has come for the royal painter to shine, the pen in his hand begins to dance, the body outline is outlined in place, the next step is to draw the hair and facial features and clothing, and the last process is coloring.
Manshino wasn't satisfied with this, and sat on the chair and posed in various poses.
At this time, the people who should have come have already gathered here, Concubine Jia's son Yongchen, Concubine Chun's son Yongzhang, Concubine Xian's son Yongqi and daughter Qingyun Gege, Concubine Ling's son Yonghui, Concubine Yue's son Yongying and daughter Longkey Gege, Concubine Yun's two sons Yongxuan and Yongju.
All gathered outside the Kunning Palace, everyone had to come forward to watch, and the painter's most wonderful moment.
