Beauty has a disease

Chapter 79

"It's just a legend, it's a rumor, it can't be true."

The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief, her face softened, "I know Li'er is doing it for my own good."

The eldest princess caressed Yan Li's head and said: "These are all illusory things, they are rumors spread by Prince Gong in order to seek power and usurp the throne."

Ascending to the throne, if you want to be justified, you must have a reasonable name.

And following the destiny is the best excuse.

"How can there be such a miraculous thing in the world, if it really exists, the emperor has been pursuing the way of longevity for many years, and the government has been abandoned for this, and nothing has changed."

The eldest princess did not shy away from talking about the emperor, and she did not shy away from it, "The emperor went astray for his own sake, but I don't want my Li'er to go astray as well."

"Forget about all of that, okay?"

Yan Li was stunned for a long time, then nodded slowly, hugging the eldest princess, his arms slowly tightened.

"it is good."

The eldest princess's expression finally softened after Yan Li's "OK", she said: "Okay, I'm still crying at how old I am, and the guests outside have been here for a long time, so it's not good to hang out all the time. Go to work."

-

In the garden, the scholars and students gathered together to chat and recite poems, and the daughters looked at the young man shyly, or gathered together in twos and threes to talk about rouge, gouache, silk and satin, jewelry, and the sons and daughters ran all over the field. Jumping, laughing and making noise.

It’s not lively.

Ember sat on the futon and ate pastry and fruit. She ate slowly and chewed carefully, completely ignoring Cui Shexi and Zheng Pianran who gathered around her.

But it's not intentional. If you want to talk to her, she will respond politely, but she will only respond to the questions asked by others, and she will not say a word.

Cui Shexi didn't think there was anything, he lingered around the tables and tables, and when he saw that there was nothing in front of Ember, he put it on the plate, and didn't bring it back until the plate was almost full, and pushed it in front of Ember.

In his eyes, the savior should be like this.

Zheng Pianran, on the other hand, shut up wisely after getting a few plain responses.

"Sister Duan!"

Lin Zhu walked over quickly and performed a peer etiquette, then took a seat on Ember's left, and said with a smile, "Sister Duan, we meet again, does Sister Duan still remember me?"

Ember had a very good impression of this little girl, she put down the pastry and responded with a smile: "I remember you, Lin Zhu."

Lin Zhu's eyes widened, with obvious joy on his face, and he praised: "My sister has a good memory!"

Ember smiled and shook her head, "Don't you remember me too."

"Everyone, it's been a long wait."

Lin Zhu was about to catch up with Yu Jin when Yan Li arrived.

Yan Li came with two rows of maidservants carrying melons and fruits to eat. He smiled and confessed to everyone present.

After the virtual ceremony, Yan Li said some more polite words, and the banquet officially started.

In fact, the banquets come and go only those events, such as some singing and dancing at the meeting held by the princes and nobles and the palace, and listening to the opera with a troupe, but these are not common, and most of them are for self-entertainment and banquet People get on the show by themselves.

Or it should be said that the competition is also an opportunity to become famous.

After Feihua Order, Touhu, and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"When it comes to painting, I have an idea."

Yan Li clapped his hands, and the servants filed in, setting up the four treasures of the study and the table for painting.

"In the past, the competition of paintings was created spontaneously by everyone. How about drawing the same one this time, and then let other people vote for the best painting?"

Someone in the crowd asked, "Then I don't know what the title of the painting is? Why don't you specify the content of the painting if the princess!"

With this proposal, everyone agreed to urge Yan Li.

"Since everyone can appreciate it, then..." Yan Li thought for a moment, and said: "Then let's focus on beauties. Since they are beauties, beauties are indispensable, and the girls who came today are all beauties, but if you want to say that they are beautiful, It’s still best for one person.”

Speaking of this, Yan Li held back, and when the discussion in the venue was full of arguments, and the venue heated up, Yan Li said: "Miss Duan, I'm sorry."

Swish, everyone's eyes focused on Ember.

Can I decline?

I can, but I probably can't refuse.

Since I can't refuse, then... of course I still have to decline.

Just like the emperor's ascension to the throne must conform to the heaven's naming and righteousness, and it is common sense in the world to decline in the face of a false name, and it is the way of getting along with each other in the world.

Ember may not care, but Duan Fu can't. Unlike her, Duan Fu wants to be famous.

Thinking of Duan Chang's cryptic point, Yu Jin shook his head and said: You are too famous, you can't afford this false name.

Yan Li took the lead in responding: Where is it, you can afford this false name.

Then Ember immediately took on this false name, and did not give in a word, the speed made everyone present stunned.

Ember: "Didn't you say you want to compete?"

Reminded by Ember, the competition began.

Cui Shexi rubbed against Cui Xuan and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what do you think?"

Cui Xuan looked at Ember, who was eating and drinking in a natural manner, with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he twitched the corners of his lips and said, "It's interesting."

"What did brother say?"

Cui Xuan snorted, and said, "It's nothing, your savior can afford these few words."

Cui Shexi puffed out his chest and said proudly, "That's it!"

"Hey, brother, why don't you go up and compete, it would be a pity if you don't show off your first-hand painting."

Cui Xuan glanced at Cui Shexi, "A gentleman does not pursue fame and wealth, and everyone in the world can be a teacher."

"Well, I understand, I understand, but stop preaching."

Cui Xuan sighed and shook his head, his eyes full of helplessness.

Comparing Ember, who is still calm and composed after seeing so many eyes on the field, and Duan Qingrong, who is gentle, elegant and knowledgeable, the two brothers and sisters are obviously younger than Cui Shexi, but they are both more mature and stable than Cui Shexi.

Of course, there was a time limit for the competition. After half an hour, the four painters in the field stopped their pens. After Yan Li nodded, some maidservants stepped forward to hold up the paintings and showed them to everyone.

Because the four people observe from different angles, the paintings drawn by the four people are also different.

One person drew the front face, two people drew the side face, and one person drew the imaginative back view. Since the four of them dared to compete on stage, there was nothing to say about the first-hand painting.

"In my opinion, this painting is the best."

"I think the picture of the beauty's back is the most artistic."

"But the freehand brushwork of a beautiful woman's head is also quite charming..."

People were arguing.

After the voting ended, Yan Li announced the results, but the picture with Ember's facial features and face was the winner.

In fact, among the four paintings, this frontal view is mainly concerned with the shape. In the eyes of experts, it is still slightly inferior to the other three in terms of artistic conception and charm.

Yan Li: "I think this painting deserves its name."

Yan Li smiled and stepped forward to take the pictures of beauties with full faces and circle them around, "Pictures of beauties, of course beauties are the focus. The other three pictures depict a lot of landscapes. Although they are commensurate with beauties, it is easy to make people confused. off topic."

"And this picture is the beauty itself, and it is reasonable to win."

Ember felt that Yan Li's explanation was far-fetched, but everyone at the scene agreed with it, and even applauded. No matter which one was voted for just now, they flocked to the winning painting to boast.

"The beauty of a beauty is irresistible, it is really beautiful!"

"..."

Ember turned her head away, hiding the shame in her heart.

Yan Li Yu Guang retracted from Ember's body, and rolled up the scroll.

"Why did the Princess take the painting?"

Yan Li explained: "The eldest princess has always liked painting, especially the pictures of beauties. Now that she has got this excellent work, she wants to give the painting to the eldest princess as a reward. I wonder if it is possible?"

The eldest princess likes to collect pictures of beauties, which is well known in the capital, but after the death of her son-in-law and her sons and daughters, she lost her leisure time.

Is it possible?

Of course yes, yes is not a double-choice question.
