I live forever in history

Chapter 40 The Bribed Court Painter

"Mr. Su, you worked hard for my portrait, here are some small gifts for you."

A beautiful woman avoided other people's eyeliner and handed a piece of gold cake to Su Chen's hand.

"Miss, you're welcome." Su Chen happily put the gold cake into her sleeve.

"I hope Mr. Su can take more care when drawing the portrait." The woman said.

"That's natural. Su will try his best to paint the girl's beauty."

finished,

Su Chen picked up the brush and began to paint the girl in front of her on the drawing board.

Yes, now Su Chen is a painter.

After being a Marquis, a general, and a prisoner, Su Chen wanted to live a peaceful life, so he found a job as a court painter in the Han Palace.

Not only can you enjoy a quiet life, but you can also make some small money.

After a stick of incense, a beautiful woman appeared on the drawing paper.

"Miss, what do you think of Su's painting?" Su Chen showed the painting to the girl.

"It's so beautiful, as expected of Mr. Su." The woman said in great surprise.

It is said in the palace that Mr. Su's portrait is very beautiful, and many court ladies have been favored by the emperor because of looking for Mr. Su's portrait, and it is true.

Is this dignified and gorgeous woman really herself?

"After the little girl is..., there will be a big thank you." The girl said shyly.

Su Chen didn't believe this at all.

Because many people have said it, but after being favored by the emperor, no one will fulfill the promise.

snort!What Changshou Hou said was right, you can't believe a woman's words.

"Next." Su Chen continued.

"It's my turn, Mr. Su's turn." A woman came over and followed the procedure to secretly stuff a gold cake.

"Mr. Lausu."

After drawing a few portraits, Su Chen has harvested a lot of gold cakes, and he can call it a day by drawing the last one.

Su Chen looked at the girl in front of her, and the girl also looked at Su Chen.

"Isn't Mr. Su still painting?" the girl asked curiously.

"Did the girl forget something?" Su Chen gave the girl a hint.

"No." The girl said softly.

"Wang Qiang?" Su Chen asked tentatively.

"You know me?" the girl said in surprise.

"Yes, we are from the same village." Su Chen lied casually.

With no extra money to earn, Su Chen reluctantly picked up the brush and continued painting.

"I have a habit of drawing portraits, that is, I need something to stimulate me to paint well. If there is no such stimulus, the level may drop a little." Su Chen said to Wang Zhaojun.

"It's okay, Mr. Su can just paint." Wang Zhaojun said.

Su Chen clicked her lips, as expected of being one of the four beauties, can I be favored by the emperor without bribing me?

It's a pity, a pity, it's a pity that you underestimated the shamelessness of me, Su.

"Miss Wang, how about this portrait?" Su Chen handed the finished product to Wang Zhaojun to have a look.

"You! Too much!"

Looking at Su Chen's portrait, Wang Zhaojun was so angry that he was speechless.

She is indeed very confident in her appearance, which can be felt from the jealous eyes of the maids around her.

But what does this painter mean by painting himself so ordinary?

Others whose appearance was far inferior to his were painted by him as a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, while he was painted as an ordinary person mixed among fairies.

How could anyone treat his fellow villager like this!

"Girl, Su is going to hand over these paintings to the eunuchs in the palace, you just wait for the emperor's roll call." Su Chen took the portrait from Wang Zhaojun's hand.

"No!" Wang Zhaojun grabbed Su Chen.

"You drew me so ugly, you can't use this one!" Wang Zhaojun said resolutely.

This is to send this portrait to the emperor, then she will no longer be favored by the emperor, and she can only die alone in this palace.

"Girl, after all, you are a maid in the palace. How can you be arguing with a painter like me?" Su Chen waved his hands to break away from Wang Zhaojun.

"You have to recognize your own appearance. I will draw what you look like. I have nothing to do if you are dissatisfied with this portrait. I can only draw the real face inside and give it to the emperor." Su Chen said.

"No! I'm not what I look like in the picture."

"You think it's useless, but I think I'm the most beautiful man in the world." Su Chenchou said shamelessly.

Su Chen would not admit that he was the most beautiful man in the world, but he was the second most beautiful.

"This girl, do you think she looks good?"

Now that the ladies of the palace hadn't finished walking, Su Chen asked a girl next to her.

"It's not good-looking." The court lady glanced at Wang Zhaojun and said ignorantly.

Of course it is not good-looking, only if she is not good-looking, the emperor will not favor her, and his chances will be more improved.

"Miss Wang, do you hear me?" Su Chen stared at Wang Zhaojun and said.

Emei is so unique that it can make flowers ashamed in Shanglin.

Wang Zhaojun, who has the posture of "falling wild goose", is undoubtedly very beautiful. At least in Su Chen's opinion, she is more in line with his own aesthetics than Yu Ji.

However, if Wang Zhaojun hadn't gone to get married, would he still be one of the Four Beauties, and would he still have the reputation of "Luoyan"?
"You are shameless!" Wang Zhaojun gritted his teeth and said.

"You took their money to paint them so beautifully, and it's because I didn't bribe you that you painted me like this!" Wang Zhaojun sued Su Chen aggrievedly.

"Girl, please don't insult people's innocence. I, Su Chen, have painted countless paintings in the court, and I have never received a single five baht coin." Su Chen said righteously.

What I received was just a small golden cake, I really never received a five baht coin.

"The money you collected is all in your sleeve, I saw it with my own eyes!" Wang Zhaojun grabbed Su Chen's sleeve.

Su Chen let Wang Zhaojun search his sleeves.

After looking through Su Chen's sleeve, Wang Zhaojun, who found nothing, went to look for another sleeve, but still found nothing.

"Miss Wang, you can let Su go after the inspection is over." Su Chen looked at Wang Zhaojun proudly.

At this time, Wang Zhaojun bit his lip, his eyes were a little wet.

"You must be hiding somewhere else!" Wang Zhaojun's tone of voice was already crying.

Wang Zhaojun endured the grievance, and continued to grope around Su Chen, trying to find out where Su Chen took bribes.

Su Chen looked at Wang Zhaojun, who was holding back his tears, and felt pity in his heart.

You are crying, don't bear it anymore, I really want to see the beauty of Jiao Didi crying in front of my eyes.

"Don't touch my pants, I'm not hiding in them."
