Your Highness, the princess is going to paint your portrait

Chapter 5 His Royal Highness King Li
Those who could come to Jingzhao Mansion were either rich or noble, and there were also many powerful people. Jing Chun did not ask anything, and just followed the steps of the minor officials to the hall.

All the way to the hall, in addition to the people from Jingzhao Mansion, there were two more men in the hall. One of the men was particularly outstanding. The man had his hair tied up and wore a gold crown with light blue tassels. His long hair hung down on his shoulders. He was wearing a green-gray jumpsuit. A long white lotus tassel is tied around her waist, and a piece of mutton-fat white jade is tied around her waist. She is delicate yet elegant.

For some reason, when Jing Chun looked at him, he suddenly thought of the pear blossoms showing off on his clothes.

Jing Chun stood next to Liu Shuxie one by one.

Liu Shuxie saw something beside him, and said to himself, "Isn't this His Royal Highness King Li?"

The sound was not loud, but Jing Chun could hear it.

Li, His Royal Highness King Li?
This is His Royal Highness King Li?

Is he the one who gave me the marriage?
Jing Chun's eyes were very complicated, he didn't expect such a coincidence to happen in this world, and he asked uncertainly, "Gong Liu knows His Highness Li Wang?"

"His Royal Highness Li Wang may not recognize me. When I was still in the Imperial Academy of Painting, I painted peonies in the imperial garden and met a few times..."

So, is this person really His Highness King Li?
At the right time, Jing Chun noticed His Royal Highness Li Wang's appearance on purpose, and it's not unreasonable for Jing Shuyao to admire his handsome appearance.

Jing Chun looked carefully and saw that this figure was somewhat similar to the person who had greeted Jing Tongchang at the gate of Jingfu yesterday.

Jing Chun subconsciously wanted to take off the jade bracelet on his wrist. If he was discovered, it would be ruined.

Which man would like to see his fiancée in public?If Jing Tongchang finds out, whether he can keep his coal for the winter next year is one thing.

But the bracelet was stuck on Jing Chun's wrist, and it couldn't be broken. Jing Chun's hands turned red and he didn't take it off.

In the high hall, Song Yi asked Jiang Hejin what they were talking about, but Jing Chun didn't listen to him at all, instead he was frightened after being recognized by His Royal Highness Li Wang.

"Come here, three of you."

After Song asked, Jing Chun finally came to his senses, and he didn't take off the bracelet. Now he was in a dilemma, so he could only bite the bullet and pretend that the portrait had a pockmarked face, and that he had the same name...

"His Royal Highness, these three are the three new painters in Jingzhao Mansion. They are Liu Shuxie from Hanlin Academy of Painting, Zhang Ruolian from Songyun Painting Boat, and Jing Chun."

Jing Chun?

Jiang Hejin suddenly raised his originally low eyebrows, but intentionally hid his surprised expression, his clear eyes stared at Jing Chun stiffly, the corner of his mouth half hung with the smile he had just left when he talked with Song Yiwen.

And what Jing Chun was wearing was the jade bracelet.

The eyes are strange, and they seem to have their own thoughts when they look at each other. There are only limited words left in the silence.

Instead, Jiang Hejin changed his gentle face again, and said, "Then there will be Lord Lao Song today."

Jiang and Jin changed their minds so quickly that Jing Chun also paused. Could it be that he didn't recognize it?Or did he not expect the pockmarked face in the portrait at all?

But that look...

not like...

Obviously it seems to know the identity of Jing Chun...

Is that pockmarked face so ugly?
Jing Chun was listening to the conversation between the two, and he didn't dare to look Jiang and Jin in the eye. Since he didn't recognize him, Jing Chun didn't have to worry too much, as long as he was still an official in the Jingzhao Mansion.

Jing Chun probably knew the purpose of Jiang Hejin's visit. Prince Li's palace was robbed last night. The guards in the palace searched for it all night but failed, so they went to Jingzhao Mansion to report to the official.

"If it's something else, that's fine. But what I lost was the Tianshan Snow Lotus that I intended to give to the Queen Mother. This cannot be lost. If possible, I can exchange it for ten thousand gold."

Wan Jin!

Jing Chun also gasped when he heard this, who said that since ancient times, it is not rare for princes and generals to be wealthy, but after all, Tianshan snow lotus is a rare thing...

Song Yiwen also hurriedly echoed: "His Royal Highness Prince Li's filial piety is a lesson, and I will do my best..."

Just as he was talking, a small official leaned over and said a few words in Song Yiwen's ear.

Song Yiwen frowned, and glanced at Jiang and Jin.

Jiang Hejin nodded slightly, probably allowing Song Yiwen to deal with matters in the house first.

Song Yi asked about the inconvenience, and then asked the little official, "Have you recruited?"

"Yes, it's just that the man has another request, that is, to meet Ms. Liang before taking the pledge."

Song Yiwen sneered, "It's so ridiculous, how can people be able to see people just by meeting them? Have you put the government office in your eyes?"

"But that man also said that if he couldn't see Miss Liang, he would refuse to sign anything, and now he is like a shrew, and even started to act violently... It took several people to catch him..."

"It's easy for him to say, how can this person be so easy to invite, and Miss Liang said yesterday that she didn't see any male customers, isn't this a bad luck for her?"

When Jing Chun heard this, he could probably guess what was going on. It was nothing more than that He Yue'an wanted to meet Liang Lingshu before the painting. Jing Chun thought that staying here was also staying. Instead, he would be terrified because of Jiang Hejin's existence. Yes, so I took the initiative to invite Ying to invite Miss Liang to come over.

"I talked to Ms. Liang for a while yesterday, and I have become acquainted. I am not a male guest. It is not rude if I invite you, but it depends on Ms. Liang's intentions. If it is feasible, I will Bring Miss Liang over, if it's not feasible..."

Jing Chun didn't finish his sentence, everything was up to Ms. Liang herself, and she had no control over what Jing Chun said.

Song Yiwen thought about it for a while, nodded his head, and accepted it. It was indeed more appropriate for Jing Chun to go than the servant's summons.

After walking out of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, Jing Chun breathed a sigh of relief, the atmosphere around him was not as oppressive as before the court, but before he took three steps, a carriage blocked Jing Chun's way. The person who came was Lu Chi, the guard next to Jiang Hejin.

Lu Chi didn't look sideways, and said righteously: "Painter Jing, my master will send you there."

Is this recognized?

Jing Chun pretended to be calm and said: "Thank you very much for His Highness Prince Li's kindness. The carriage in Jingzhao Mansion is also very fast. The poor painter below does not dare to tarnish His Highness Prince Li's honor."

"If the painter is not willing to just tell His Highness Prince Li personally, I will never force him."

personally?

Jing Chun took a breath and forced a smile. She came out just to escape from His Highness Prince Li. Wouldn't it be frightening to refuse him in person?

"Then thank you, His Highness Prince Li." After saying that, Jing Chun got on the carriage and
Although the carriage was stable, Jing Chun felt restless in his heart. He was afraid that he would damage something if he moved around, so he could only suppress him at the door of Liang's house.

The Liang family had seen Jing Chun yesterday, and Jing Chun also explained his purpose of coming, and the officials couldn't stop them when they saw it, so they went to report to Miss Liang.

Before it was too late, Huan'er invited Jing Chun into Liang's mansion. Along the way, he heard noises in the courtyard, so he asked about Huan'er.

Huan'er sighed and shook her head, saying: "The Ren family didn't know where they got the news. They knew that the young lady had lost her virginity, and the quarrel started this morning. It seems that this family member is not counted..."

"Listen to you, your lady is interested in Young Master Ren?"

"How could it be intentional? The young lady feels guilty, and she also feels guilty about the madam and the master. There is another young master Ren..."

Huan'er also realized what she had said, so she stopped talking and focused on leading the way. She turned around the corridor and arrived at Miss Liang's boudoir.

Different from yesterday, today's boudoir has a brand new look, everything is brand new, but Liang Lingshu is still sitting on the couch, her eyes are more swollen than yesterday.
