King Mu walked out of the bookcase, walked in front of her and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, seeing that you have lived well in the palace these days, you must have almost recovered from your injuries." ”

"Yes, the little girl's injuries are healed, thank you for the rescue, I have been bothered for many days, this food and clothing has taken a lot, the little girl is deeply disturbed, it is better for the prince to let me leave the house today." ”

King Mu looked at her coldly and said, "This king sees that you are in trouble, so he specially asked Pei Ying to rescue you, you have eaten and drunk a lot in vain these days, have you thought about how to repay this king?"

"Repay, the prince is really good at laughing, the secret weapon was thrown by the prince's people, if no one secretly hurt my ankle, how can just Luoshui trap me?"

"What if you are gone that day, since the prince of Goryeo can find you in the Treasure Pavilion, he can also find you in the mansion west of the city, and you know that your fake made his father Long Yan angry, and ordered a thorough investigation. Didn't this king save you with a trick and find someone to replace your capital crime, do you think you can live until now?"

Luo Li was shocked, she didn't expect that someone had replaced her pseudonym and died on her behalf, but she didn't believe this person's words.

But what she was most worried about was that King Mu knew where she lived in the west of the city, and Xiao Anu was still living there, and she didn't know what the situation was. If it is really as he said, someone died in place of Luo Li, then if Xiao Anu knew about this, I don't know what the hurry would be. However, fortunately, Xiao Anu is not very familiar with Kyushu language, and the current situation is inconclusive, which makes her feel a little more relieved, but she has secretly decided that she must go back to find Xiao Anu as soon as possible.

"The little girl has fallen into the hands of the prince, the prince has something to say, the prince has also seen it in the past few days, the little girl is idle, and she eats a lot, the prince wants to raise me as an idler?"

King Mu ordered without leaving any room: "This king wants to give you a chance to be my guest, and this king will recommend you to participate in the selection of the July Painting and Calligraphy Academy." ”

Luo Li immediately replied to him: "Okay." ”

Such a quick answer caught him by surprise.

Seeing that he didn't continue to make a sound, Luo Li turned her head to look at him and asked, "Lord Wang, have I passed your test?"

King Mu's thick eyelashes moved slightly, and he introspected: he underestimated this girl a little.

Luo Li looked at his eyes and said slowly: "As soon as I entered the house, I felt strange, the prince's study was elegantly placed, and the hanging scrolls were all plain flowers and plants, this landscape was specially hung by the prince, right?"

"How so. ”

"These paintings around are all valuable unique pieces, how can you hang such a fake in the study? And the other picture scrolls are a little dusty, but this one is not, it seems that it is newly hung up, so arranged, not to test what I am doing? Lord Wang, you are eating and drinking and detaining me, and you are looking for someone to take the blame for me. I have never met the prince, presumably the prince must not fancy me as a person, and although I am not talented, but only painting skills for the prince's use, the current selection of painters in the academy of calligraphy and painting is imminent, the prince's idea is self-evident. If it's a good deal, why would I refuse?"

King Mu said lightly: "You are—you can't refuse." ”

Luo Li smiled and said, "Yes, in the current situation, I can't refuse, but since the prince wants to use me, he must also agree to my conditions." ”

This little fox!

"This king didn't ask you for anything, but you were bold enough to talk to this king about conditions. This king has already found someone to replace your Luo Li's identity and die for you. Your life is the king's. ”

"Don't, lord, my life is up to me, and don't force me. With such words as the prince alone, I am afraid that I will not be able to appease me. Luo Li left half a sentence, and did not point out the words thoroughly. There are a lot of people who are good at painting in Kyushu, but this King Mu has available people but they don't need it, and the purpose behind this extraordinary means to recruit her is not as simple as asking for a painter. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Luo Li continued: "The prince is not afraid that I will run away?" A hint of a smile.

"Don't be afraid, you can try the guards of my Mu Wangfu, and this king has recently planned to raise a few more cats and put them outside your Orchid Garden. King Mu also smiled back at her.

Luo Li thought of the cat, her nerves trembled, and she said bluntly: "The little girl wants this set of Wei Zhen's "Meilan Juzhu" behind the prince. ”

The corners of King Mu's mouth curled, greed for money is a good thing, what he was afraid of was that she didn't ask for anything, he replied: "Okay, after you become the master of Beihuang Hall, in addition to this set of Wei Zhen's set and this king's collection, you can choose three more pieces at will." ”

Luo Li's apricot eyes rounded: "Beihuang Hall Master?"

Mu Wang said: "This calligraphy and painting academy is a special institution for my dynasty, which is a small branch under the jurisdiction of the Rite Academy, purely because of the preference of the father, in the second year of the Tianyuan Dynasty restructured, independent out of the Rite Academy, by the father personally managed the selection of painters, from a branch of only a dozen people to the present more than 100 painter institutions. The calligraphy and painting institute is headed by the director of the three products, and there are nine halls respectively in charge of the painters and paintings of the states in Kyushu, among which the director of the Beihuai Hall and the director of the Donghui Hall who are also the deputy directors of the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting are the four products, although the painters do not have the right to participate in political affairs, but they have the privilege to enter and leave the palace. This king recruited you for the position of the master of the North Phoenix Hall. ”

The more Luo Li listened, the more wrong she became, she never thought about what she was going to do as the master of Beihuang Hall, her abacus was to draw a few pictures casually and get a painter from the painting and calligraphy academy to do it, and she was tired of running away, mainly to deal with the master. The nine halls of directors are not a joke, and the most basic information verification must be much stricter than that of ordinary painters.

She was a little reluctant.

King Mu said: "If you just find someone who can enter the calligraphy and painting academy, this king can just find a painter from those calligraphy and painting shops on Wenlin Street." There is only one purpose of this king - the master of the North Phoenix Hall, with your strength, you can easily pick up the top spot. ”

"The prince can't help but look down on me too much, I am a mere female streamer, I have no fame, no backing, how can I sit on the position of the master of the Beihuang Hall?"

She is right, although the national style of the Qi State is more open than that of the neighboring countries of the old dynasty, and both men and women can study and become officials in the court, the hierarchy of male superiority and female inferiority has not been broken.

One of her women went to do the main work of one of the nine halls, and some fools dreamed.

"You just have to play well, and you don't have to worry about the rest, including your background. King Mu walked to the tea table, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip.

Luo Li saw that he said that she was worried, but she did not say it. I thought, whether he can be selected anyway or not, it is not his King Mu who has the final say, the last test of the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, Emperor Qi is going to come to the selection in person. She turned to say, "Then you can't do the Nine Halls, and you can't make it difficult for me." ”

"Good. King Mu readily agreed, which made Luo Li feel that there was a deception in it, but at this point, she seemed to have no other choice.

"Since the little girl has satisfied the prince, it is better for the prince to agree to the three conditions of the little girl. ”

Say. ”

"First, Luo Li will not do anything that hurts heaven and reason; second, the little girl asks the prince to take care of me while I am doing things for the prince; third, the prince cannot restrict the freedom of the little girl. ”

"Good. King Mu was neat, and he turned to ask: "Since you promised this king, you should also tell your own affairs openly and honestly." King Mu's somewhat pale face seemed to be a little colder, and the coercion of the superior made Luo Li feel uncomfortable.

How can this feeling be similar to what her uncle felt when he punished her?

"Luoshui's Luo, the single word is a dawn of dawn, the family teacher is a hermit, and Luo Li can't tell him. Luo Li said with a relaxed face: "The prince can go to check the household registration of Jicheng in Huangzhou, the Luo family." ”

King Mu noticed that her loneliness was hidden under her relaxed appearance, and basically judged that this girl was telling the truth, but it can be checked, and it is still necessary to check, and it must be checked clearly, after all, this person is too important.

"What are your habits of living in Lanyuan?" King Mu changed the subject.

"Everything is fine, thank you Lord. ”

"In this palace from now on, the king will no longer restrict you from entering and leaving, but you must know where you can go and where you can't go. And what this king will explain to you in the future, you must also know what to say and what not to say. ”

The little girl understood. Luo Li is well-behaved on the surface, and he has already scolded King Mu a hundred and eighty times in his heart.

When Pei Ying took her back to the Orchid Garden, in the corridor not far from the Orchid Garden, the orange cat appeared again, far away, "Meow~".

As the so-called road is narrow.

Luo Li confessed, was so frightened that he didn't dare to come forward, and his small body hid behind Pei Ying.

Pei Ying pinched his fingers, shot it, and the cat screamed miserably, and ran away in disgrace.

"Thank you. ”

"Miss Luo is polite. Pei Ying disagreed.

"Miss Pei used this method to hurt my leg that day?" Luo Li glanced at her secretly and asked in a strange manner.

Pei Ying coughed, ignored her, and continued to stride forward.
