Your Highness, the princess is going to paint your portrait

Chapter 16
"You're not hungry or you don't like it? Or are you afraid of being poisoned by me?"

What Jiang Hejin said was exactly what Jing Chun said when he handed Jiang Hejin the buns yesterday.

What is Jing Chun afraid of?
She knew that even if Jiang and Jin didn't like her, they wouldn't poison her at this juncture. Now that the two of them have a marriage contract, how could a fiancé poison his fiancée?What's more, he still blatantly poisoned in front of so many people.

Jing Chun boldly took a piece of tea, and was about to put it to his lips, but he remembered what the crying boy said in his mind, "I am a man, how can I pretend to be a little girl..."

Seeing this, I suddenly felt it was funny, and only laughed at the boy's helpless appearance.

and many more!

Jing Chun's broken thoughts suddenly seemed to be inspired by something, and he asked a little excitedly: "How does Your Highness know that the person who stole something is a woman?"

"She is wearing embroidered shoes, and there are some figures..."

Jing Chun refused to give up and said, "Is there anything else that can prove that the person is a woman?"

Jiang Hejin hesitated, "What do you mean?"

"Is Your Highness really sure that the person is a woman? What if it is a man?"

When Jing Jingchun said this, Jiang Hejin also paused for a moment. Although Jiang Hejin tore off the black cloth covering the opponent's face when fighting with that person, although he could see his face clearly, but that appearance was specifically male or female. It's hard to judge for a while.

Jing Chun spread out the portrait, pointed at the cheekbones of the person in the portrait and said, "His Highness said that the thief's cheekbones are relatively wide. I originally thought that his cheekbones would appear brighter because of his age. In fact, that’s not the case, the other person is most likely a man.”

Jing Chun took a piece of drawing paper and began to draw again, saying: "This man's cheekbones are more rigid, and his facial contours are more three-dimensional, but the woman's face is different, her cheekbones are soft, and her facial lines are more rounded. .”

Jing Chun touched his cheek subconsciously, and then glanced at Jiang Hejin. Compared with Jiang Hejin's thinness, Jing Chun's face was indeed smooth.

Jing Chun pointed the charcoal pencil to the nose in the portrait, "The nose is the same. A man's nose is stiffer than a woman's. This is what His Highness said, the bridge of the nose is a bit high."

Jiang and Jin came closer and saw that the facial features of the characters in the painting had become much more natural, but there were not all areas in the painting.

"What else?"

"And the eyes." Jing Chun used his thumb to smear the eyebrows in the portrait a few times, and the thin eyebrows have now become thick eyebrows, "and the mouth."

"mouth?"

Seeing Jiang Hejin's doubts, Jing Chun immediately explained: "For those of us who draw portraits, we can tell if we draw too many portraits. Women's mouths will be narrower. Of course, this is not absolute, so when Your Highness said that the thief's mouth is a bit big , I naturally thought that the thief's mouth was the plumpness of a woman's lips, and I unconsciously distinguished the depth and light strokes of the lips when painting, while the man's mouth was relatively wide, so it was natural to think that the other party was visually The mouth is bigger, so."

Jing Chun lifted the pen from the paper, blew on the fine charcoal dust on the drawing paper, and said, "This is the description that echoes His Highness."

Jiang Hejin followed Jing Chun's line of sight and was really amazed!

This portrait actually resembles the character in Jiang Hejin's memory. No matter in terms of appearance or details, Jing Chun's strokes are extremely meticulous, without any flaws.

Jiang Hejin originally thought that this Jingchun was just a simple official's daughter, at most she went out of the government to make a living, but now it seems that this Jingchun is really not simple.

Jing Chun looked at the portrait in front of him, but he was in a trance. He suddenly realized something and chuckled unconsciously, "You and I should have thought of it earlier. The person who stole the things was wearing night clothes but was wearing embroidered shoes. Isn't this confusing? ?”

Jiang Hejin was not sloppy, and immediately called Lu Chi, "Go to the shoe store and bring the portraits, so that the owner of the shoe store can recognize them one by one!"

"Yes."

Jing Chun, however, was not in a hurry to wait for news from Lu Chi. Instead, he wrote down all the details on a piece of drawing paper. From the palace to the shoe shop to the medicine shop and then to the pawn shop, the most suspicious person in the palace It is Yan Huai, the shoe store is yet to be inspected, the drug store is Chen Er, Hu Dayong and Master Yang, no, there is an old woman.

Jing Chun smiled slightly, and already had a guess in his mind, so he asked again: "How does Your Highness think it is possible for a man to have the figure of a woman?"

Jiang Hejin's face turned red suddenly, and he didn't know where he was going, and said, "How does this king know this?"

Jing Chun didn't notice Jiang Hejin's expressions, but slowly circled Yan Huai's name with charcoal and asked: "Does Your Highness go to the theater on weekdays? There is a saying in the play called Qiandan Kunsheng, which means It is said that men play the role of women on the stage, and women play the role of men. Gandan in the theater requires long-term practice to achieve the soft figure of a woman, and the walking posture does not need to be deliberately imitated, it can be clearly shown... "

"You mean the person who stole the things was a gangster?"

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

"You're right."

Now that he has an idea, and Jiang Hejin also affirmed Jing Chun's point of view, Jing Chun finally ate a piece of tea with peace of mind, and said: "So it's not surprising that people in Beijing can't recognize it. Who can tell a man's female appearance?" Recognize it? Besides, it’s still a woman with thick makeup on on weekdays.”

After eating only two pieces, Jing Chun got up, brushed off the creases of his clothes, and asked, "Your Highness, are you going to the theater? Please."

"Now?"

Jing Chun also realized that his behavior was a bit inappropriate. After all, this Jiang Hejin was also a prince, and Jing Chun, a small painter, obviously had a vicious gesture of treating guests.

"If Your Highness is willing, can you please invite me to the theater?"

"Now that the invitation has been issued," Jiang Hejin also stood up, "How can we not take advantage of it?"

Got it!
It's private expenses again. When this case is over, Jing Chun will have to ask Song Yiwen for reimbursement!

The two of them went to the theatre, it was too early at this time.

Inside the theater.

Jing Chun was not in a hurry, he just sat with Jiang Hejin on the second floor of the theatre, ordered a pot of tea, and the cake just now was too choking, and Jing Chun couldn't eat the third piece.

Jing Chun poured another cup of tea for Jiang and Jin. Seeing that Jiang and Jin were indifferent, he asked, "Your Highness, don't you want to drink it?"

Jiang Hejin glanced at Jing Chun and said, "What did the king say yesterday?"

"Little man, remember, Your Highness said yesterday that he would not eat food from outside, but I watched it this morning. Did you drink tea from outside?"

"What tea outside?"

"Teahouse? Didn't Your Highness drink tea from the teahouse today?"

Jiang Hejin didn't make any fuss, but said, "How do you know that's tea from outside?"

Jing Chun frowned slightly, "Isn't it outside?"

"Then the teahouse belongs to me, so why talk about it outside?"

Jing Chun was a little stunned, took a deep breath, and swallowed it into his stomach, no wonder the oppressive atmosphere in the teahouse was the same as that of Prince Li's Mansion!
