Luo Li thought about it for a moment and agreed. At noon, after having tea with them in a nearby restaurant, after leaving, he called Lin Song: "Secretary Lin, thank you for taking care of them this time, why don't you let me pay the silver taels? Last time, I said that I would go back to Yanyang to reunite with you." ”

"Don't worry, I don't have a lot of money. Master Luotang, you and I have known each other for a while, can you stop calling me as a secretary? ”

Luo Li smiled and took out a pear wood carved folding fan from his cuffs, "The fan surface of this folding fan is a small gift painted by me, to express my gratitude, and I hope to accept it." ”

Lin Song's ears turned red, and he took the fan tightly, and whispered, "I have a heart." As he spoke, he ran away in a puff of smoke.

Seeing this, Shang Yan walked over and asked in a low voice, "Hall Master, what do you think of Lin Shao?"

"Reasonable and responsible, Sven Gongzi, is a person worth befriending. ”

"Lin Shao twenty and one, fifteen years old on the examination of fame, has not married, ancestors three generations of officials, mostly scholars, scholarly family, can be said to be born in a famous family. ”

"Well, I'm going to continue to make a princess statue in the afternoon, you remember telling them to finish the first draft, I will go back to the palace in the last few days, and officially move in at the end of the month. ”

Shang Yan was slightly stunned and responded: "Yes." ”

After finishing her work in the afternoon, she sent the two painted portraits to Min Yun for review, which originally had a fixed process, but it was also skipped due to the delay of these days. Min Yun is not a pedantic person, and he put it away after looking at the scroll twice.

After getting off duty, she went directly to the Rui Wangfu in her official uniform, and the guards led her directly into the main courtyard after seeing the jade plate.

The Rui Wangfu is simple and simple, the garden is far from the fresh and elegant of the Mu Wangfu, cloth to the school field, no one exercises at this time, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, there are a lot of things.

On one side of the main hall of the palace, there was a sand table with some red and blue flags planted on it.

"Lord Lao is here for a while, and the villain will go to invite the prince. ”

After a cup of tea, Qi Jinghao walked in with a chubby little white ball.

Xiao Maruko was dressed in a light green robe, wearing a small gauze hat on his head, a pair of big eyes blinked, looked straight at Luo Li, stepped forward and bowed deeply, and said glutinously: "Hongyuan has seen a female gentleman." ”

Luo Li squatted down and said with a smile: "Okay, get up quickly, will Mr. call you Yuan'er in the future?"

Maruko nodded shyly, as the eldest brother said, this child is introverted.

Qi Jinghao smiled, "I know that you have a lot of things to do recently, so I won't be polite, and after Yuan'er serves tea and apprentices, you can start teaching." ”

"Ah, you still want to apprentice, you don't have to be so formal. ”

Qi Jinghao whispered in his ear: "Yuan Hong is the heir of the royal family, and he is still young, so he needs to act according to etiquette, and he must not be allowed to have casual thoughts." ”

"Okay, listen to what Big Brother means. ”

Luo Li didn't expect that the first apprentice in this life would be accepted in such a daze, she sat on the right seat, looking at the four or five-year-old doll under her knees, the little fat hand holding the teacup looked like it, and suddenly thought that she was not a few years older than this when she was apprenticing, was she also so cute?

"You go with me to Yuan'er's study, I have prepared the painting tools. ”

Luo Li followed the two of them to an exquisite courtyard on the east side, a small school field in the courtyard, which is estimated to be the place where the little emperor and grandson are trained every day.

Luo Li saw Qi Jinghao sitting where she was listening, as if she was not going to leave, she asked, "Your Highness, is this going to watch the two of us go to class?"

"Don't you allow, this king has been very idle these days......"

"Naturally, the prince is here, how can the little emperor and grandson paint freely? ”

"Alright then, I'll come back later. ”

Luo Li saw him go out, turned his head to Xiao Maruko and said, "Yuan'er's previous paintings, can you take them out and let Mr. take a look?"

Maruko took out a few rolls from the painting jar and held them to her. She didn't expect that these were all real volumes, and this one was no less than a hundred. She opened it and saw that the paintings on the scroll were all portraits, immature brushstrokes, and she couldn't tell who it was, and it could be seen from the length of her hair that the people in the paintings were all women.

This little emperor looks chubby, smart and cute, why is he obsessed with beauties at a young age?

"Yuan'er, who is in this painting?"

Maruko stretched out her chubby little finger and pointed at one of them and said, "Mr. Hui, this is Yuan'er's mother," and he pointed to the other person, "This is Aunt Si." ”

"Aunt Si?"

"Well, my aunt's name is Si Qi, and like Mr., she is a painter at the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. Mr. Sir, Yuan'er knows that he can't draw well, can Mr. teach Yuan'er to draw his mother?"

Luo Li Ke had never heard King Rui mention that he had such a sister-in-law, but he really didn't expect that Si Qi was Princess Rui's cousin.

"Oh? Yuan'er just wants to draw the concubine?"

"Next month is the birthday of the mother, and Yuan'er wants to present a picture scroll to the mother as a gift. ”

Luo Li was worried, this child's wish was not difficult to come true, but she had never seen Qi Jinghao's concubine, even if she wanted to make a portrait for him to copy, she didn't know where to start.

"Okay, it's not easy to draw a good concubine, the characters are more difficult to control in calligraphy and painting, a journey of a thousand miles, starting with a single step, if you want to paint well, you need to start from the basics, why don't you teach you flowers and plants today?"

Luo Li accompanied Maruko to practice the grapevine for an afternoon, and Maruko had a strong comprehension ability and a good feel. An hour later, the drawing was already good.

Qi Jinghao walked around the door twice, and when he saw that the hour was almost up, he asked her to go to dinner with her, she wanted to excuse herself, but she heard that Concubine Tian was also there, so she should go with her.

When Luo Li and Xiao Maruki followed Qi Jinghao to the hall, Princess Rui Tian and a few maids were waiting, and Tian saw them coming from afar and got up to greet them.

Tian's appearance is good, wearing a purple dress, dignified and generous, and his face is gentle.

"I've seen Princess Rui below. Lori saluted.

Tian stretched out his hand to help her up, and said gently: "The concubine has seen the Luo Tang Master, and I have long heard that the Luo Tang Master is young and promising, and he is the best among our women. ”

The princess praised it. ”

"Lord Luo, please take a seat. ”

There are seven dishes and one soup on the table, half meat and vegetables, and the taste is light, but it is also delicious. When the meal was over, the maid served another bowl of sugar water, and the little prince forgot the rules for a while, picked up the spoon and was about to drink, so that Qi Jinghao stopped drinking.

Xiao Maruki was thin-skinned, felt ashamed, red-eyed, and said to Luo Li: "Today, Yuanhong didn't follow the rules, so Mr. smiled." ”

Luo Li didn't think there was anything, Hongyuan's self-control and self-cultivation were beyond that of a child of his age, and she said kindly: "Don't get in the way, there is something I want to trouble you, princess." ”

Tian was slightly stunned, "Hall Master, please speak." ”

"Tomorrow, I don't know if I can let you make a portrait below?"
