Your Highness, the princess is going to paint your portrait

Chapter 108
The next day, although Jing Chun couldn't get up much energy, indeed, after Mr. Qing Bai's incident, Jing Chun was a little depressed.

Before leaving for the Jingzhao Mansion, the mother came to report, "My Lady, the Empress Dowager called you into the palace."

Now?

It was neither a festival nor a banquet at this time, so Jing Chun was slightly surprised.

Before Jing Chun could inquire carefully, a person entered the dormitory. The person Jing Chun had met was Aunt Rongfang who was next to the Empress Dowager, she was also the one who sent the Queen Mother's gift to Jingfu last time.

"Concubine Li, concubine Li, the Empress Dowager is thinking of painting today, so she sent her servants to invite Madam Wang to come over."

Afterwards, Mother Chen said: "Since the concubine is going to the palace, the slaves will inform His Highness."

With sharp eyes, Jing Chun could still see the far-fetched look on Aunt Rongfang's face, so she stopped Nanny Chen and said, "This is the time for me to show my filial piety. I'll be back around noon, so I don't need to tell His Highness."

Then he said: "If His Highness asks, I will explain to His Highness when I come back."

Seeing this, Mother Chen agreed.

Now that Jiang and Jin have no problem, they should tell Jingzhao Mansion that they have no time to go today.

Turning to Aunt Rongfang, Jing Chun still showed a reserved look, "Mommy, please wait a moment while I go change my clothes, so that I can still be polite in front of the Queen Mother."

Jing Chun's attitude at the moment is somewhat lowering his own wealth, how dare a nanny in the palace say "no" to the princess.But Jing Chun knew in his heart that Aunt Rongfang was with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was Jing Chun's nominal mother-in-law, and she was also the Queen Mother of the entire Yan Kingdom. Don't dare to offend.

Back in his dormitory, it was time to use Zhu Hong.

Jing Chun first asked Zhu Hong to take a leave of absence for him, and then asked someone to call Lu Chi over.

Jing Chun couldn't take Jiang and Jin with her, so she had to take Lu Chi with her. She was going alone, so she had to take someone with her.

Lu Chi was obviously in a bit of a dilemma, he hesitated and said: "Princess Wangfei, this subordinate is someone close to His Highness, if His Highness knows that this subordinate has left his post without authorization, it will not be safe..."

Since he wanted to explain, Jing Chun was not afraid to explain one more thing, so he said, "I will take responsibility for what happened, and I will explain it to Your Highness."

Seeing that Lu Chi didn't dare to take it for a long time.

Jing Chun went straight to the provoking method, "It's only for one day, and you can't live without His Highness? Even if I tell His Highness about this, will he refuse to do it?"

"Subordinate... as ordered."

This was the last resort in Ji General's method, and Lu Chi had no choice but to accept it.

Jing Chun knew that Lu Chi had entered the palace the same number of times as Jiang Hejin, so everyone in the palace must have known that Lu Chi belonged to Jiang Hejin. Without Jiang Hejin to support the scene, Lu Chi would not have lost the momentum of the palace.

But right after the gate of the mansion, Aunt Rong Fang sensed something was wrong, "What is the princess doing? Why do you bring a guard?"

Jing Chun slowly showed a dry smile, "Mama's words are serious, I can't bother going back and forth this time, and I can easily find my way with a guard. I hope Mama won't be offended."

Aunt Rongfang also accepted Jing Chun's argument and invited Jing Chun into the carriage.

Arriving at Queen Mother Liu's palace, Aunt Rongfang asked Jing Chun to go in alone, leaving Lu Chi alone.

Seeing the Empress Dowager, Jing Chun first greeted her, and then saluted, without leaving any excuses.

"The Ai family heard that Princess Li is good at painting, and they specially asked you to paint a painting for the Ai family. If the painting is good, the Ai family will definitely be richly rewarded."

"The concubine's painting skills are poor, how dare she describe the beauty of the empress dowager?"

Jing Chun could say these polite words to prevent the queen mother from being dissatisfied with Jing Chun's portrait later. Jing Chun had already said hello in advance. If she was blamed again, it would not be Jing Chun's fault.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "The Ai family is not an immortal who does not eat the fireworks of the world. He is just a mortal. If you don't dare, just paint. The Ai family is still looking forward to Princess Li's painting skills."

After speaking, Liu Shi ordered someone to bring up the paintbrush and canvas. If Jing Chun refuses again, she will be shameless.

"The concubine obeys."

Jing Chun had no choice but to pick up the brush and began to describe the appearance of the Empress Dowager Liu.

Start with the outline of the face, and then describe the details, hair accessories, makeup, skirt...

This is not in Jingzhao Mansion, Jing Chun needs to paint more carefully.

But if you really want to make the Empress Dowager happy, it is definitely not enough to just draw for no reason, and if necessary, you have to add some means of beautification.

Especially in the "big eyes", "thin face", "nose reduction" and "smile".

This is a good time to embody a modern aesthetic.

At the end of the day, Jing Chun was painting when he heard the Queen Mother ask: "The Ai family heard that you have an aunt who treats you well."

Jing Chun's heart was in the painting, but he didn't dare to neglect it. He only heard the word aunt, and he was thinking of his own aunt in Gusu, so he said: "The Queen Mother is talking about my aunt in Gusu. I have always been Living in Gusu, most of them are under the care of my aunt..."

The Queen Mother smiled softly, "That's not the aunt in Gusu, but the aunt in the capital."

"What the Queen Mother said is..."

Obviously Aunt Lan!
Jing Chunfang's ink-stained brush couldn't help but hesitate a bit, his fingers were suddenly stained with ink, and it went straight into Jing Chun's fingers.

Jing Chun didn't know what the Empress Dowager's intention was, but since Jing Chun was the only one called today, the deep meaning of these words was not so simple.

"That was my mother's maid before she was alive. I and this aunt haven't seen each other for ten years. After I returned to the capital, this aunt came to take care of me. It's not a deep friendship."

"Why are you nervous? Aijia is just asking how you are doing after returning to Beijing? But be careful, the ink stains cannot be easily washed off."

"The concubine is doing very well after returning to Beijing, thank you for the care of the empress dowager."

"Since you are living a good life, why do you need to work in Jingzhao Mansion."

The thoughts in Jing Chun's head exploded with a "bang", and her head was spinning rapidly. Facts are facts, but she must know the reason why the Queen Mother asked her this.

Jing Chun pretended to be panic-stricken and knelt on the ground in panic, "Forgive me, the Empress Dowager, it's because the concubine is playful and lost her sense for a while."

"Then do you want the position of Princess Li, or the painter of Jingzhao Mansion?"

Are these words meant to make Jing Chun give up his position as a painter in Jingzhao Mansion?

One moment at another, with such a decisive scene, even if Jing Chun keeps his position as a painter, he will only become a lamb at the mercy of others in the future. At least the position of Princess Li can allow him to maintain his power for a while.

"Chenqie... Chenqie is the concubine of His Royal Highness Li Wang, and will never..."

"Princess Li, don't talk too much..."

Inadvertently, the Queen Mother walked up to Jing Chun, looked at the portrait on the table, and sighed: "This painting skill is really amazing, not even half as good as your father's."

"The Queen Mother...it's absurd."

Liu Shi looked at Jing Chun meaningfully, "Wouldn't it be a pity that such a good painting skill is buried?"

Does this mean that Jing Chun can continue to stay in Jingzhao Mansion?

"Please, please also ask the empress dowager to make it clear."
