Chapter 56: Hongyi is imprisoned
After a cup of tea, the little guy led Wang Hongyi to come.
Wang Hongyi went upstairs, and everyone looked at him in unison, which startled him.
The fourth prince looked Wang Hongyi up and down, his appearance was passable, but his clothes were extremely ordinary, unlike the son of a big family, just the appearance of an ordinary scholar, but he never cared about dressing up, as long as he was talented.
Li Hesong was worried that Wang Hongyi would not be able to adapt to it, so he hurriedly stepped forward to introduce.
"The four princes, this is my friend Wang Hongyi, Wang Gongzi, this is the current four princes. ”
When Wang Hongyi heard that it was the fourth prince, he was shocked, but when he saw that the fourth prince just looked at him with a smile, he didn't have the kind of look down on people, and his heart was a little more comfortable.
"Grass people Wang Hongyi, see the Four Princes. Wang Hongyi was anxious to kneel down and say goodbye, but the fourth prince hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him, "Don't be polite." ”
As he spoke, he ordered someone to add an extra seat next to him and let Wang Hongyi sit down. Wang Hongyi saw that the four princes treated each other so politely, and he also relaxed his heart, and his body was no longer so restrained.
"Prince Wang, the fourth prince saw the beauty picture you made, and he liked it very much, so I invite you to come here for a gathering. Li Hesong explained to Wang Hongyi.
"Thank you to the four princes for your love. Wang Hongyi heard Li Hesong mention the beauty picture, and his heart was gloomy.
"The picture of the beauty made by Wang Gongzi is really amazing, everyone here is very curious, who is the woman in this painting?"
"Who, the grass people don't dare to expire the four princes, and I don't know who the person in this painting is. Wang Hongyi replied truthfully that he really didn't know who it was.
The fourth prince Ming Guangji heard Wang Hongyi answer him like this, his heart was unhappy, and his face was much darker, thinking that Wang Hongyi was deliberately expiring himself.
Li Hesong saw the changed faces of the four princes on the side, and he was also anxious for Wang Hongyi in his heart, and tried his best to hint at Wang Hongyi with his eyes, but Wang Hongyi didn't look at him at all, and he lowered his eyes and thought about something.
"Xu Wang Gongzi forgot, hehe, Wang Gongzi, I remember you told me that you have seen the person in this painting. Li Hesong said hurriedly.
"Since you've seen it, how can you not know who the person in this painting is?" the fourth prince calmed down.
"I did see the person in this painting, but at that time, the grass man was seriously ill and delirious, and when he recovered, he always had the appearance of a woman in his head, so he painted it that day. Wang Hongyi recalled the memories of that time, but after all, it was blurry, but the figure of that person was extremely clear.
"I didn't expect Wang Gongzi to have such an opportunity, which is also a great blessing in life. The son on the side said enviously.
"Yes, yes, this kind of woman is hard to find. ”
The fourth prince Ming Guangji listened to what happened to Wang Hongyi, and he was also envious in his heart, thinking that Wang Hongyi looked like an honest scholar, and he would not make up such stories to fool him.
"Can you ask Wang Gongzi to make another beauty picture for me?" The fourth prince Ming Guangji looked at Wang Hongyi seriously, with a sincere attitude, "Li Gongzi's beauty picture was given by Wang Gongzi, I really like it, but I don't want Li Gongzi to cut his love with me, so I can only ask Wang Gongzi to write again." ”
Everyone heard the meaning of the desire in the words of the four princes, and they were busy persuading Wang Hongyi to agree to the four princes and make another picture of a beauty.
But Wang Hongyi just lowered his eyes and didn't speak.
"Prince Wang, the fourth prince really likes the person in the painting, can you paint another one. Li Hesong looked anxious and persuaded Wang Hongyi.
Wang Hongyi pursed his lips, "That day and Li Gongzi tried to paint, it was a whim, after the painting, I have been regretting it in my heart, ashamed and embarrassed, my ability is limited, and the person in the painting is not as good as I think in my heart, so I don't dare to mention her again." ”
"This ......" Hearing Wang Hongyi say this, Li Hesong was speechless.
"In this way, Wang Gongzi can come to my mansion to settle down, paint carefully, all the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are the best for Wang Gongzi to carry on his back, the environment in the house is quiet, and no one will disturb Wang Gongzi, what does Wang Gongzi need, there are also maids and servants to serve, Wang Gongzi thinks this is good?" The fourth prince thought for a moment and said.
As soon as Li Hesong heard it, he understood what the four princes meant, he wanted to take Wang Hongyi back to the mansion directly, and he wouldn't let people go if he didn't paint.
"This, the four princes......" As soon as Li Hesong spoke, the four princes raised their hands to stop Li Hesong's words.
"This prince will definitely not treat Wang Gongzi badly, please rest assured that Li Gongzi, I will invite Wang Gongzi as a guest of honor, and I will treat him with courtesy. The fourth prince looked out the window, and it was not too early, so he got up to say goodbye to everyone and prepared to leave.
"Wang Gongzi ......" Li Hesong looked at Wang Gongzi who was half-framed by the little girl, "Wang Gongzi should draw a picture of the beauty as soon as possible." Li Hesong only held back such a sentence, he understood that as long as Wang Hongyi drew a picture of a beauty, he would be a guest in the palace of the four princes, and that opportunity was also unavoidable, and he only hoped that Wang Hongyi would let go of the obsession in his heart and seize this opportunity to let the four princes appreciate.
Wang Hongyi was stuffed into the carriage by the small servant, and the four princes sat on the side and looked at Wang Hongyi, who was frowning and looking sad.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to the prince, I just hope that the prince can paint for the prince wholeheartedly, as long as the painting is completed, I will let you enter the palace and become the royal painter in the palace." The fourth prince threw out tempting conditions to seduce Wang Hongyi, "It's just that my patience is also limited, if Wang Gongzi deliberately delays and fools me, I can only be polite, I heard that Li Gongzi said that Wang Gongzi is from Liuping Village in Huji Town, and there is still an old mother in the family, right?"
As soon as the words of the four princes fell, Wang Hongyi suddenly looked up at the four princes, his eyes full of panic.
The fourth prince looked at Wang Hongyi's expression with satisfaction, "Don't worry about Wang Gongzi, I will order someone to invite Wang Gongzi's mother to come, and settle her food, clothing, housing and transportation, Wang Gongzi only needs to paint with peace of mind." The fourth prince tried to calm his tone as much as possible, he has always disliked coercing others, but it is understandable that extraordinary things are occasionally very tricky.
"I beg the four princes to be kind to the grass people's mother, she is too old to withstand the toss. Wang Hongyi pleaded with the fourth prince, his mother was his only relative in this world, and he couldn't let his mother have any accidents because of him.
"You can rest assured of this, I will order someone to tell her that the prince is painting for this prince, invite her to come to Yudu City to enjoy her old age, and arrange maids and servants to serve her. Seeing that Wang Hongyi's attitude had softened, the fourth prince was also a little happier in his heart.
"Thank you, Fourth Prince. ”
The carriage slowly moved towards the mansion of the fourth prince, and Li Hesong stood on the second floor of the Yipin Teahouse and looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away, feeling melancholy.
