The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1843 Draw a Family Portrait
Until returning to the bedroom, Zhao Dongting still seemed full of worries.He rarely hides anything in front of the girls, even if he encounters difficulties.

Perhaps a real man should be able to shoulder any difficulties silently by himself, but in a family, this approach is not advisable.

The most important thing in a family is communication, sharing the blessings and sharing the difficulties.This is home.

It is needless to say that Le Chan and other women know Zhao Dongting well.After so many years, they could see how serious the matter was from Zhao Dongting's expression.

When Zhao Dongting returned to the bedroom, the bedroom was very lively.There are more than ten children alone.

Among them, Zhao Ge, the prince born to Mei Qingzi, is the youngest, and he has just learned to walk.

In addition, the two children of sisters Zhu Qinghe and Zhu Qingci are only a little over a month older than him, a boy and a girl, both of whom are like their mothers, very gentle, not as playful as Zhao An was when he was young.

At this moment, even Zhao An and Zhao Ru, who are studying martial arts with Jun Tianfang and Qi Wulie in Wudingtang, are in the bedroom.All the people were sitting upright in the yard.

The children couldn't sit still, some were playing, and some court ladies were taking care of them.

"emperor……"

Just as Zhao Dongting brought Eunuch Liu into the courtyard, the eyes of all the girls fell on him.Le Chan came up with some complaints, "Why did you come back now, didn't you say yes..."

They are all sitting in this yard, so naturally they have something to do.

Today is the day when Zhao Ge is just one year old. Zheng Sixiao, the chief painter in the court, was sent to the palace to paint. Because Zhao Dongting did not come back, he has been waiting for a long time.

"I……"

Zhao Dongting came back to his senses slightly, he remembered this incident only after seeing the scene in the courtyard, feeling a little guilty.

As far as he is concerned, things in the bedroom are also big things.

"What happened? His face is so serious?"

Before Le Chan could finish speaking, she could see that Zhao Dongting's expression was not right.A look of worry suddenly appeared in a pair of extremely beautiful eyes.

Zhao Dongting stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and said with a smile, "Let Zheng Aiqing finish the painting for us first!"

Le Chan shook her head dumbfounded, "Look at what time it is now, you're still painting, let's eat first!"

Zhao Dongting patted himself on the forehead, "I'm a little confused in the imperial study."

Looking at the sky, it was already past noon, he led Le Chan inside and said to the girls: "Hurry up and eat!"

"Oh!"

"It's finally time to eat!"

The children cheered and hurried to the restaurant where they were eating.

Although they are princes and princesses, because Zhao Dongting didn't teach them all the royal methods, they didn't pay much attention to many aspects.

Zhao Dongting didn't want to control them too much, otherwise they would lose their spirituality.Even if they have the ability in the future, they may not be able to be happy.

As a monarch, he should make everyone in the royal family outstanding.But as a father, he feels that the children's happiness is the most important thing.

And after thinking about it, even if Zhao An and Zhao Ru couldn't all become talented, the Great Song Dynasty would not be short of these talented people.

That is to say, there are some rules that need to be shown to the courtiers.For example, if Zhao Dongting didn't send a message to the bedroom not to come back for dinner, all the girls would still have to wait.

"Chen Zheng Sixiao kowtowed to the emperor, the emperor..."

Zheng Sixiao only had a chance to speak at this time, and when Zhao Dongting came a little closer, he hurriedly saluted Zhao Dongting.

In fact, he has seen Zhao Dongting quite a lot.Because his paintings are lifelike, especially good at portraying characters.

Moreover, Zhao Dongting also taught him the method of "sketch" in the early days, which made this master who has the reputation of a master in today's painting world amazing.

Later, when Zhao Dongting taught him other painting methods, he admired Zhao Dongting even more.

Although sketching, watercolor and other painting methods in the Song Dynasty are still far less popular than ink painting, there are already few people studying them.

Zheng Sixiao is a nympho, and he has been immersed in it these years.So far, sketches are absolutely lifelike, which is hard to compare with ink painting.

Zhao Dongting also regarded him as the queen's "camera".Whenever there is a happy event and you want to take a "family portrait", you will always call Zheng Sixiao over.

Those picture scrolls are all made by secret methods, and they are claimed to be incorruptible.When I get old, it is also a thought and a good memory.

"Zheng Aiqing is exempt."

Zhao Dongting raised his hand and said to Zheng Sixiao.

Zheng Sixiao stood up involuntarily.It was Zhao Dongting who exerted his internal energy.

Before he had time to be surprised, he heard Zhao Dongting say to Eunuch Liu: "Arrange Zheng Aiqing to have dinner in the side hall!"

Zheng Sixiao hurriedly saluted again, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

In the palace, even the chief painter does not have a high official rank.And even though the official rank is high, there are really not many officials who can enjoy such honors.

A bedroom is a bedroom after all.Until now, there are very few people in Song Dynasty who have enjoyed this kind of treatment.

In the past, Zheng Sixiao was also called to stay in the bedroom when eating, but he was not able to eat in the side hall, but was led by the eunuch to eat outside the bedroom.

I don't know why the emperor let him eat in the palace this time.

How did he know that Zhao Dongting was all because he was still thinking about Su Quandang and the old eunuch.

During the meal, all the girls probably saw that Zhao Dongting had something on his mind.No one said anything.

After eating, I went to sit in the yard.

The time required for sketching is not too long, but it is not short either.Zhao Dongting and Zhunu are fine, but the children can't sit still.

The little ones are crying, the big ones are impatient.

Fortunately, Zheng Sixiao has a photographic memory, his eyes are like a photocopier, he can freeze the scene in front of him in his own eyes.

He just drew an outline in more than ten minutes, then nodded to Zhao Dongting, "Your Majesty, it's done."

Zhao Dongting sat in the middle of the girls and children, nodded slightly when he heard the words, then turned his head to Le Chan and said, "Follow me to the study."

He took the girls to the study.

All the women looked at each other with puzzled and solemn expressions.For some reason, the emperor actually wanted them all to go to the study.

Could it be a major event involving the harem?
In the study, Le Chan asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, what happened? Could it be that the front line lost?"

Zhao Dongting shook his head, and said, "No. On the contrary, the front line has most likely won, and Su Quandang and the others have most likely taken down Kaifeng Mansion."

"This……"

The women looked at each other in blank dismay.Then they all quickly realized the seriousness of this matter.

Le Chan said: "Isn't that... the extremely strong man from the Yuan Dynasty is likely to come to the palace again?"

"Um……"

Zhao Dongting sighed and nodded slightly, looking at the girls with a slightly apologetic look, "I am the emperor, but I am unable to protect you in front of him, so... I can only arrange for you to leave the palace."
