At this time, Luo Li pinched up a small Kai, sketched in the blank space, a few strokes, a stunning woman has stood in the fiery red plum forest, the woman in the painting is dressed in white, holding the plum branch next to her with her bare hands, suddenly looking back, a pair of phoenix eyes glanced back, the red lips were lightly picked, and the back was draped in a red daze, and the snow on the ground and the plum blossoms melted into one.

Luo Li held a very thin brush and continued to carve the details, each plum blossom became vivid under her brush, and the woman's long hair, which was blown by the wind, was also visible.

In the end, she picked up the big wolf and dyed it lightly, making a shadow of snow, and after some scrutiny, she put pen to paper.

——The fire tree burns the snow and the fragrance is dark, and the people of Iraq cannot ask for it.

Luo Li hadn't picked up the pen for a long time because she was struggling with whether she should copy a painting given by her master as requested by her master.

She didn't know why, but Master asked her to draw a portrait of her master in the last attempt, but in the end she still didn't listen to Master.

She drew a picture of a beauty who looks like a teacher but is not, seven points like a teacher, but five points like her own mother.

Just went to Guiyuan Villa, and in the cold winter of the first few years, Luo Li was very difficult. Qingluan Peak is the place where the Taoist gate in the villa lives for a long time, the mountain peak is towering into the clouds, the winter is extremely cold, and the snow is covered all year round.

The disciples of the Medicine Sect and the Sword Sect of Guiyuan Mountain Villa live in the mountain stream mountain villa, and although it is cold in winter, it is not as good as Qingluan Peak.

But the master who was flawless in her heart, when it was winter, almost every night drunk in the blooming blood plum forest behind the Yunhai Pavilion.

And she and her third senior brother lived in Qingluan Peak, knowing that the master had this problem, and when she couldn't find anyone at night, she had to brave the wind and snow to go into Meilin to get the master back.

The elder brother who has been with the master for the longest time said that the master has been like this for more than ten years, and since the death of the master, it has always been like this when the blood plum is in full bloom.

Among the disciples of their generation, no one except her knew the appearance of her master.

And she only knew her sister's appearance by chance. Once, when she was stealing Master's elixir, she saw the wooden box under Master's bed, she thought it was a treasure, and opened it without authorization, but it turned out to be full of portraits of a woman, without payment or name.

Hundreds of portraits are all of this peerless woman, but they only have the appearance of a young person.

Presumably, Shi Niang was still young when she died, which is a pity.

It's not like she hasn't asked about this woman from the side, but everyone is secretive.

She didn't know why, she didn't want to copy the portrait of her mother, so she changed it.

With a high-pitched "The hour has come, my emperor will start painting." Luo Li's thoughts were pulled back to the main hall.

Emperor Qi walked from the gauze tent to the candidate's desk, followed by the calligraphy and painting institute and others, and looked at the paintings of several candidates in turn. The old fritters of the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy all know that those who can stay until now are all masters of superb painting skills, and who can win the championship in the end still depends on which one can win His Majesty's love more.

From Emperor Qi's performance just now, a group of people probably guessed that he admired Ji Xiao's paintings more. Sure enough, Emperor Qi was the first to walk to his place, and after several people saw his works, they praised him endlessly, and his majestic landscape was enough to calm the audience.

Just when everyone thought that Emperor Qi was going to announce the top spot, Emperor Qi stood in front of Luo Li's table and stopped moving.

Emperor Qi stood there, trembling slightly, suddenly reached out to pick up the painting, and walked out of the main hall alone. The group of people left behind did not know why, and Lin Qi then walked out tremblingly.

When Lin Qi walked to the side hall, Emperor Qi was looking at the portrait in his hand stupidly, and asked with some excitement: "Yongfu, did you say that she is in the painting......?"

"Your Majesty, according to the old slave, it's not Lan Guifei in this painting, it's not like it. Li Yongfu denied, and said slowly: "Concubine Lan is much more beautiful than the person in this painting." Your Majesty, that girl looks like she is more than ten years old, how can she have seen Concubine Lan? Your Majesty misses Concubine Lan. ”

Emperor Qi didn't seem to give up, and asked, "Lin Qi, are you here...... Come and see if it's her. ”

Lin Qi stepped forward, looked at it for a moment, and said, "Seven points." ”

Emperor Qi's eyes were glazed, "That's not ......" After a while, he smiled bitterly: "But you look at this word, you can't ask for it...... I can't ask for it...... "Emperor Qi's hand holding the scroll couldn't help but clench, and he ordered in a cold voice, "Edict her to come in, I want to ask her face to face." ”

Li Yongfu saw that Emperor Qi was so persistent, and sighed secretly, His Majesty would lose his temper as soon as he met this woman, and it had been twenty years, and he was still like this.

The group of people in the main hall were still whispering about why Emperor Qi lost his temper. Ji Xiao frowned, and the Rui King beside him never expected such a fork in the end.

Qi Muxiao sat upright, looking like he didn't care about himself.

"Your Majesty announced that the painter Luo Li was in sight. Li Yongfu broke the silence with a thin voice.

Luo Li stabilized her position and walked towards Li Yongfu, she already had a headache and a low-grade fever, and now because of nervousness, her palms were full of sweat.

It was the first time Luo Li had been so close to the most powerful man in Kyushu that she knelt on the ground and didn't dare to look up, so nervous that she didn't dare to take a breath.

Emperor Qi said: "Raise your head and speak." ”

Luo Li slowly raised his head, knelt on the ground and straightened up, looking at the man in the main seat, his sideburns were dyed with white frost, and the corners of his eyes were covered with traces of time, but he could still see the handsome appearance of his youth.

Emperor Qi was also looking at the woman in front of him, she was indeed seventeen or eighteen years old, at such an age, it was indeed impossible to see her.

He asked, "Who is the woman in your painting?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the painting is the appearance of the little girl when she was young. ”

"A-Niang?" In Emperor Qi's memory, some people also called their mother like this, but they couldn't remember who it was.

"Your Majesty, the painter Luo is from Jicheng, and A-Niang is a dialect. Lin Qi reminded.

Jicheng, it's been a long time since I've heard of this place. Emperor Qi looked at her, and then looked at the painting in his hand, but his appearance was somewhat similar, and if he looked at it carefully, he didn't look like her anymore.

Could it be that he is really obsessed with it?

Emperor Qi was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What do you mean by not asking for this?"

"Back to Your Majesty, for the little girl, Ah Niang has been dead for many years, and it is the regret of the little girl not to ask the little girl to fulfill her filial piety. ”

Luo Liyuan's dripping water is not revealed, I think this Emperor Qi must be seeing the woman in the painting thinking of the person she loves in her heart but can't ask for it, maybe the master's intention for giving her the picture scroll is here, the painting skills are difficult to distinguish between high and low, and the subject matter is also Hanmu Chunhua, and touching people's hearts is the trump card to win.

Emperor Qi continued to look at the scroll in his hand, for a long time, he said slowly: "I appreciate you very much, poetry and painting are nothing more than this, the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wisdom of the painting is indeed rare, are you willing to stay in the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting is the desire of the little girl, and it is the blessing of the little girl to be able to paint for the royal family. Luo Li bowed his head and thanked him.

sighed secretly, Emperor Qi reacted like this, this move was indeed a dangerous move.

Luo Li then returned to the main hall with Emperor Qi and Lin Qi, she returned to her seat under the gaze of everyone, and Emperor Qi returned to the golden gauze tent and instructed Li Yongfu a few words.

Li Yongfu walked out of the gauze tent, pulled his voice and said loudly: "Spread my emperor's oral message, King Mu recommended the painter Luo Li, a native of Jicheng, Huangzhou, both moral and artistic, both internal and external, Danqing is outstanding, and he is given the position of the master of the North Huangtang Hall, from the six grades." King Rui recommended the painter Ji Xiao, a native of Fenglin City, Yuzhou, with both moral character, Danqing outstanding, and awarded the first-class painter of the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, which is seven products. The eleventh prince recommended the painter Wang Kaihong, a native of Yanyang, Wangzhou, Wu Min'er, a native of Hancheng, Yuzhou, with superb painting skills, and was appointed as a second-class painter of the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, from the seventh grade. ”

"My emperor is wise and martial, Kyushu is peaceful, thank you Lord Longen!"
