The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 460 Bloody Birthday Feast (15)
Xiao Jun stretched out her hand to help him with a half-smile, not caring about her guilty conscience, but took out another painting from the painting vat next to her, and when she unfolded it, she saw it was Guan Tong's "Autumn Mountains and Evening Greens".

In the painting, there are winding mountain roads, small bridges and flowing water, and the looming temples on the top of the mountain. In the center of the painting is the steep main peak.The emperor looked at it very seriously, and while watching, he nodded and said:

"The painting of Autumn Mountains and Evening Greenery is actually not easy to imitate. This painting is meticulous in detail and unambiguous in its details. For example, the branches, leaves and the gaps between leaves are clearly visible, each with its own beauty, while the detailed texture of the rocks highlights the The magnificence on the grand scale presents the natural wind and rain erosion as if made in heaven. In addition, the structure and detailed treatment of mountains, rivers, rocks and grasses highlight the three-dimensional vision.

But the painting you copied is more than delicate, but not atmospheric.Guan Tong's paintings, whether depicting a steep mountain wall or several blocks of rocks facing water, the straightforward and extensive lines in the painting convey the majestic momentum of the mountains and rocks. It is all contained in the brush and ink, and this is what painters have always believed that Guan Tong is best at.

I have told you many times that the mountains and rocks must be thick, the paint should be dry, and the dyeing must be fine, so that the whole painting will look magnificent and elegant. Your painting is still a bit lacking. "

Qing Chen brows anxiously, and looked at him suspiciously, seeing that the emperor didn't notice it, his eyes were still wandering on the painting, and without raising his head, he ordered Fu Quan, "Go and get the original painting of my "Autumn Mountains and Evening Greens" Come and give it to Concubine Rong."

Fuquan agreed and hurriedly went, Qingchen said with a smile: "The emperor is very pertinent in his comments on the paintings of his concubines. Guan Tong studied under Jing Hao and has a reputation for being a master. People call his landscape features "stone body firmness" It is condensed, with lush miscellaneous trees, elegant terraces and pavilions, and leisurely characters. It was called "Guan Family Landscape" at that time, and he was the founder of the northern landscape painting school with Jing Hao, and he was also called Jingguan. How can ministers and concubines compare with him? It is not easy to draw the essence of this dichotomy. He was guided by a famous teacher and became a generation of famous masters, and the concubine did not have such a good teacher. Besides, how did the emperor tell the concubine what he just said, why didn't the concubine remember it? When Mr. Qin taught his ministers and concubines to paint, he said similar things several times."

Xiao Jun's eyes flickered, and she said unnaturally: "Then I... I think I told He Shuyi that when it comes to calligraphy and painting, you are inferior to her after all, but you also have your own skills in painting. The advantages cannot be generalized."

After a pause, the emperor said again: "If Qin Zishuo heard what you said just now, I don't know if he would be so angry. He is also a famous artist of his generation, and calligraphy and painting are hard to come by, so he accepted you, who is unwilling to put his heart into it." Disciple, it's not too bad."

Qingchen obviously didn't like to hear this, so he pouted and said, "Mr. has never disliked me, and he never felt that I was embarrassing him. How can I compare with Sister Ye? She has such a stable temper. When she was young, she What am I doing when I am studying and practicing calligraphy and becoming a female celebrity? I am probably fishing in the river, catching rabbits in the wild, or picking melons and vegetables in the field?"

Taifu Ye is a famous Confucian of his generation, so his daughter can't be wrong.Xiao Jun curled her lips, took the painting that Fuquan handed over without saying anything, sat on the kang under the south window and said: "Come here, I will show you the authenticity of this painting, Xiao Jue has begged me so much I was not willing to give it to you last time, but now that I give it to you, my ears will be clean from now on."

Qingchen chuckled, "Since when did the emperor become so stingy? There is no difference between giving it to a concubine and keeping it for yourself, but it is just stored in a different place."

Xiao Jun's expression was slightly startled, she nodded and smiled and said, "That's right, there is no difference between what you keep and what I keep, but Xiao Jue will never snatch things from you."

"It's just a painting. Judging from what the emperor said, it seems to be a rare treasure."

Qing Chen walked to his side, Xiao Jun moved on the kang to make room for her to hold her in his arms, and unfolded the painting in front of the two of them, "I will tell you in detail that you should pay attention to copying this painting. something."

Seeing that it was getting late on the engraving on the corner of the wall, Qingchen hesitated whether to remind him that today is a good day for Shu Guiyi, and even if the emperor does not spend the night in her palace, he should still visit the injured Feng. Wanrong, but up to now he has no intention of leaving.

If he doesn't leave, she doesn't want to drive him away either. On such a cold and lonely night, having someone to talk to with her, to warm up the coldness under the west window, although it's not exactly the same, it's also warm and relaxing.While in a trance, Xiao Jun frowned and asked, "I'm talking in your ear, but you can still lose your mind?"

His breath was blowing warmly on his face, a little itchy, Qingchen dodged subconsciously, accidentally caught a glimpse of something in the needlework basket, and said with a smile: "I didn't get distracted, I just remembered something occasionally."

Xiao Jun asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

She reached out and took a jade belt from the sewing basket and said: "This is embroidered for the emperor in my spare time. I chose the best Hetian white jade to make the buckle. The embroidery on the belt has been embroidered by my concubine for a long time. Does the emperor like it after seeing it?"

Two strands of gold thread and one strand of silver thread embroider the golden dragon soaring into the clouds, which is lifelike and majestic, with fine stitches on the edges and exquisite embroidery work. It can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into it.The white jade belt buckle is exquisitely carved, and the jade is warm and delicate, which is very suitable for him.

Xiao Jun hugged her very happily, since she was favored till now, it seems that she has made him a purse and pajamas altogether.He didn't know where to throw the purse when he was angry, but thinking about it now, he felt a little bit reluctant.

"You did a good job. Your sewing skills have improved a lot. Wearing it like this, you can't tell who embroidered it. In the future, if you have nothing to do, copy some Buddhist scriptures and help me make a few more belts. I will change them." Wear."

Hearing this, Qingchen felt a little awkward, so he asked: "What do you mean you can't see who embroidered it? What does the emperor mean by this? Could it be that he dislikes the poor craftsmanship of the concubine? If you don't want it, just return it to me, and I will return it." I won't send it away."

She stretched out her hand to snatch it, how could Xiao Jun let her snatch it away, put away the belt and said with a smile: "I'm complimenting you, and I know you must have put a lot of thought into it, I'm very happy."

Slightly squinting at him, she said coquettishly, "I haven't seen the emperor boasting so much." Then she picked up the picture of autumn mountains and evening greenery on the small table again and said: "Since the emperor is interested in elegance today, Then tell the concubine, so that the concubine can learn a lot."

Holding the painting in her hand, Xiao Jun suddenly remembered something and said, "I'm going to go hunting in Xiyuan in two days, how about I take you with me then?"

She could go out and experience the free air in the mountains and wilderness, she wished for it so much, she hurriedly agreed, "I am very happy, if I can let my wife see the emperor's skills, I will be even happier."

"That's not so difficult, it's just to fulfill your wish." Xiao Jun paused, and then said: "Oh, by the way, I just saw the calligraphy and paintings copied on your table, all of them are made of lacquer ink, lacquer ink It’s fine for writing. If you want to paint, the landscapes drawn by pine smoke ink will have a more boundless feeling, and the hair on the temples of the characters will have a more delicate texture. I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send you some good pine smoke ink. "
