Fair Lady

Jin Xida and Shujie, who were sitting in the men's section on the other side of the table, also had a thump in their hearts, and they looked at Shuyao nervously, but unfortunately they were too far away to make a hint.

Some things are not convenient for the emperor to say, especially on such occasions.However, no matter how smart Shuyao is, she is only a 14-year-old boudoir girl, how can she know so many twists and turns?But she left her position right now, and Mother Liu couldn't follow her.

Shujie clenched his fists tightly, Concubine Ma Gui and the second prince attacked the three siblings repeatedly, which is tolerable, but unbearable.It's fine for him, but for his sister, he will definitely keep this account in mind.

The emperor took a look at Shuyao, and was about to speak when Shuyao bowed again: "My majesty, the empress, and the imperial concubine, the plum blossom font is beautiful, but it takes a lot of time.

Although it is four characters, there are too many strokes in the four characters of "Dragon Phoenix Auspiciousness". I am afraid that the show is over, and Fu Xing has not finished writing, and Fu Xing has not practiced the plum blossom font for a long time, so he cannot write complex characters well.

Last time at the plum blossom banquet in Duke Anguo's mansion, the second concubine wrote the four characters "flowers bloom and wealth". Fu Xing thought that the second prince and concubine should like these four characters. How about Fu Xing also write "flowers bloom and wealth" today? "

When Shuyao was neither humble nor overbearing, and calmly responded, Jin Xida and Shujie gradually relaxed their clenched fists, cheering inwardly: Yao'er is doing great!

As they expected, as soon as Shuyao finished speaking, the emperor immediately agreed: "Since this is the case, let's write 'flowers bloom and wealth', isn't the plum blossom font just like 'flowers bloom'? Very good, very good, Fuxing girl, that's it Write it, very good!"

The queen also looked at Concubine Ma with a smile and said, "Exactly. Fu Xing has considered carefully, and the time of today's wedding banquet is calculated by Qin Tianjian. If the performance is too long, it will not be good if it delays the next process, sister, you Say it?"

How could Concubine Ma say "no"?The sharp nails almost pierced the flesh on his legs.She never expected that Shuyao, a 14-year-old girl, not only reacted so quickly and boldly, but also answered her questions impeccably.It's really sharp.Or is it just a coincidence?

At this time, Shuyao has started to write with a pen and a calm face, as if the conversation just now was just a simple "discussion", without the slightest concern or anxiety.

Concubine Ma felt that she couldn't see through it. Is this woman too scheming or too simple-minded?

Concubine Zhao also had the same doubts, but there was the scene where Shuyao used the "suicide note" to imply a warning last time.She prefers the first possibility.Concubine Zhao thinks, she should stay away from Shuyao for the time being, don't provoke her, this girl is not very old, but it may be very difficult.That's right, the palace foster mother can make big families spend a lot of money competing to invite her.Naturally, it has its extraordinary value, not to mention that Mother Liu was the smiling tiger by the queen's side back then?

Shuyao deliberately slowed down her writing speed.Firstly, it proves the saying that "plum blossom fonts are time-consuming", and secondly, it is always good to carve carefully. After all, it is necessary to show the emperor and queen first, and there are many famous scholars present today, so I don't want to miss the last plum blossom feast.They are all ladies from the inner courtyard.

It took Sima Yan five programs to write these four words last time, so it's not too much for her to use three, right?

Shu Yao just stopped writing and raised her head.The emperor couldn't wait to smile and urged: "Dafuzi, hurry up, get it for me quickly, I want to take a good look at it."

Da Fuzi walked forward quickly with a smile, and carefully held the paper in both hands and placed it on the table in front of the emperor.

When the emperor saw it, his eyes became straight, and it took a while before he laughed loudly: "Girl Fuxing, I don't want to leave your calligraphy and painting to the second prince, good! That's great!

Fuxing girl, after you have embroidered the screen for me, write another word, just write 'dragon and phoenix auspiciousness', don't worry, write slowly, and send it to me when you are satisfied with the writing.

I'm not greedy, just a pair of screens and a pair of characters. After playing, you can concentrate on embroidering the dowry, hahaha, and honor your adoptive father and future father-in-law, so that no one will say that I am bullying others again, hahaha. "

When everyone heard the emperor's repeated greetings, they stretched their necks eagerly to feast their eyes, especially those masters of calligraphy, they all wanted to rush forward.

Of course, there are still many people who are thinking about the meaning of the emperor's words.On the surface, the emperor repeatedly praised him, but there are many meanings behind it.

First of all, I believe that no one would dare to ask Princess Fuxing for words and embroidery easily.

The emperor said that the main embroiderer of Fuxing County has to be embroidered by his adoptive father and his prospective father-in-law, Prince Yong. Then there is also the prospective husband and son-in-law, and the dowry to be prepared. How can I have time to care about idlers?The emperor is not "greedy" anymore, how dare you join in?

Secondly, since the emperor has already asked for the words "auspicious dragon and phoenix", the second prince and Concubine Ma naturally dare not ask for it.The emperor's things are unique, even the prince would not dare to use the same things as the emperor.

The emperor had seen enough by himself, so he waved his hand generously: "Dafuzi, go around and show it to everyone.

Da Fuzi hurriedly called two court ladies, and each of them slowly walked around the large platform in the middle while unfolding calligraphy and painting.

The audience sighed endlessly, it's beautiful, no wonder the emperor said frankly that he was reluctant to leave it to the second prince, and no wonder the emperor used the word "calligraphy and painting" just now, isn't this just calligraphy and painting?

On the picture scroll is a plum branch inserted obliquely, with fiery red plum blossoms on it, among which the four best and largest plum blossoms are the four characters "flowers bloom rich and noble".There were also two little magpies parked on the plum branch, singing to them happily.

The Confucians were amazed. Not only did Fuxing County Master write beautifully in plum blossom fonts, but also his painting skills should not be underestimated. Even apart from those four words, this painting can definitely be put on an exhibition.They have all heard that the magpies and plum blossoms embroidered by Princess Fuxing are lifelike, but unfortunately they didn't have the chance to see them, and today they finally saw them indirectly.

If it weren't for the high status of Princess Fuxing and the girl in the boudoir, the great Confucians would have rushed to recruit disciples.

One of the painting masters couldn't help saluting to Shuyao and asked, "Ask Princess Fuxing, your painting method is almost self-contained, is it the princess's own creation?"

Shuyao replied with a half bow: "Master Wu is too polite, I can't talk about my own painting method, but I read two Western painting albums, combined the style of Western painting with our usual painting method of Dazhou, and figured out a little technique. .”

The master surnamed Wu praised: "If Princess Fuxing concentrates on painting, she must be a school of her own. Princess, I am very interested in this kind of painting skills. Dare to ask Princess, can I take a moment or two to talk with you?" With a few paintings, I will guide you to solve the doubts that you have been pondering for a long time."

Shuyao looked at Jin Xida, and Jin Xida nodded slightly. Master Wu is a famous calligrapher and painter in Dazhou, with a good reputation, and he is over 50 years old. It doesn't matter if you write, the calligraphy and painting are also outstanding in the academy.

Shuyao then replied: "Master Wu loves you, but Fuxing dare not speak out and give pointers. It is a great honor for Fuxing to have the opportunity to enjoy and talk with you, Master."

"Okay, okay, thank you, princess." Master Wu is very satisfied with Shuyao's humble, polite, and generous attitude. As for her look at Jin Xida, it is normal. After all, Shuyao is a boudoir girl, and her father and brother are present. If she It is inappropriate to agree to the invitation of a man (although he is an old man at the master level) without authorization.

Everyone in the garden sighed again, Master Wu was so "flattering" that he even asked Shuyao for advice in public, even if some envious and jealous people wanted to pretend to be "disapproving", it would be difficult unless she (he) wanted to be despised by everyone.Master Wu, who is that?The famous "holy hand" in the world of calligraphy and painting is still a noble and arrogant master. Many big families asked Master Wu for some advice in order to gild their children, but they didn't take any advice. Now they turned to Princess Fuxing for advice. ".

Oh my god, who would dare to say that Princess Fuxing is a "marketer" in the future? It's just luck?If you are a marketer, you can give advice to Master Wu, aren't you even inferior to a marketer?The so-called ladies from famous families are what they boast about all the time. One is family background, and the other is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The so-called connotation.Now the owner of Princess Fuxing stands on a high ground in every aspect.More importantly, there is good luck, good luck.

Qi Yuexin was about to tear her skirt to pieces. Not long ago, Ruan Wenxin, who was good at painting, asked her for help. Could she use the face of Prince Yong's Palace to meet with Master Wu? Concubine Zhao was self-aware and decisively refused. It is said that a literati like Master Wu is arrogant, and Prince Yong and the prince are not in Beijing, so it is inconvenient for women to deal with outside men. (To be continued.
