Chapter 251 "Training" Li Er

Li Er returned to the Lizheng Hall after accepting the worship of hundreds of officials in the Taiji Hall. At this time, he was playing with Empress Changsun playing with Xiao Sizi.

After the new year, the little son will be five years old. Because of Wang Xiang's arrival, the eldest grandson queen spent ten years in Zhenguan, and the little son was spared from the pain of losing his mother. He was very happy under the teasing of Li Er and the eldest grandson queen.

When Wang Xiang and Li Zhi came over, he heard Li Er's cheerful laughter coming from the Lizheng Hall. It seemed that Li Er was in a good mood, and Wang Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he doesn't have much fear of Li Er now, being reprimanded during the Chinese New Year will always affect his good mood.

He gave a big gift to Li Er and Empress Changsun, and said a few words of blessing. Empress Changsun was always gentle and elegant, with a smile on her face. It was rare for Li Er to keep a straight face, and said lightly: "Why didn't you enter the palace today?" worship?"

Wang Xiang didn't know the custom of a hundred officials entering the palace to worship at the beginning of the new year, but he naturally wouldn't say that he didn't know.

"The official position is low, and he is not qualified to enter the palace to worship."

Li Er was taken aback when he heard the words, but Empress Changsun pursed her lips and smiled lightly. According to the regulations, Wang Xiang was indeed not eligible to enter the palace to worship on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty because of the official position awarded by the Court of Gewu.

"It's too small to be an official? Which fifth-rank official can enter and leave the palace at will like you?"

Well, don't argue about anything in front of Li Er, what he says is what he says.

Wang Xiang obediently bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "It's my negligence."

Only then did Li Er nodded in satisfaction: "What sketches did you draw in Duke Yi's mansion yesterday? I told the queen that the queen was very curious. Today is just free, so you can draw two more sketches for the queen to see. "

Hearing Li Er's words, Wang Xiang secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, I already knew that there are two things that cannot be avoided when entering the palace today.

I'm afraid the queen's curiosity is secondary. Li Er's own sketches are the main reason. After helping Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong to draw sketches yesterday, Wang Xiang felt Li Er's thoughts. As expected, he entered the palace today. Just let myself draw a sketch portrait, and said that the queen was curious, and secretly despised it.

Fortunately, knowing Li Er's virtues and being prepared, Wang Xiang said in a calm and unhurried manner: "It's a small skill, since the empress is curious, I will show my shame again."

Seeing that Wang Xiang didn't push back, and agreed very sensibly, Li Er nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I asked people to prepare new paper and charcoal pencils from Gewuyuan."

"No need, the minister is ready."

When Wang Xiang entered the palace, he prepared new paper and charcoal pencils from Gewuyuan.

Li Er was taken aback for a moment, and when he saw Wang Xiang take out new paper and charcoal pens, he realized that Wang Xiang knew what he was thinking a long time ago. Practice sketching, no wonder you can achieve this in sketching."

Hearing what he said, Wang Xiang felt even more contemptuous in his heart. Who would walk around with a pen and paper when it's Chinese New Year? It's not because we know you well.

Empress Changsun smiled and said nothing. Although it was mainly Li Er who wanted to sketch portraits, she was also somewhat interested in the sketches Li Er said.

"Wang Jiancheng, are the portraits you draw really the same as real people?" Xiao Si has a gentle and calm personality, and usually likes to write and draw. I heard that there is a painting skill that can make portraits as natural as real people with stones I am very curious.

The kid Li Zhi also leaned over to look at the black charcoal pencil in Wang Xiang's hand and said in confusion, "How does this look like the coal used to burn fire in Gewuyuan?"

Wang Xiang said with a smile: "This is coal, but it is made into the shape of a pen."

"Huh? Coal can be used for painting besides burning fire?"

"If you draw it and see it, you will know."

Under Li Er's order, the maids brought over the small table that Xiao Si usually used to practice calligraphy. Wang Xiang spread the new paper and asked, "What does Your Majesty want to draw?"

In fact, it is just a question.

Li Er said without changing his expression: "Just draw me."

Wang Xiang was about to tell Li Er to sit down and not to move around, but he got up and walked inside.

After a while, he came out again. It turned out that he had gone to change clothes. Li Er was wearing casual clothes just now, but now he changed into luxurious and exquisite court clothes.

After changing his clothes, Li Er Da Ma Jindao sat on it with a serious face, which made Wang Xiang secretly amused. He looked like a person taking pictures for the first time in front of the camera.

"Your Majesty, don't be too nervous, just relax."

Of course, Li Er is not nervous. He can keep his face unchanged in front of thousands of troops. How can he be nervous just because he is painting a portrait? The painters in the palace have painted him many times. The reason why he put on such a serious expression is purely to show The majesty of the emperor, but in Wang Xiang's view, this kind of majesty is almost the same as the tense look, it is all tense, it is too unnatural.

What is important in sketching is to restore the real thing. If Li Er's appearance is really restored, it will look like a real one, but Li Er will definitely not be satisfied, and will think that he deliberately made him ugly. Appropriate adjustments are necessary.

"Don't be so serious on your face, be natural."

"Your Majesty, can you smile a little?"

"Forget it, you better stop laughing."

……

Seeing the changing expressions on Li Er's face under Wang Xiang's "guidance", Xiao Sizi and Li Zhi couldn't help giggling, and even Empress Changsun couldn't help laughing. This was the first time they saw Li Er Such a rich expression.

In the end, Handsome Li couldn't take it anymore, his face became stiff, and he said angrily, "How can there be so many things, the painters in the palace used to give me portraits without such trouble!"

Wang Xiang said calmly, "Does Your Majesty think the portraits they painted are like?"

In the past, Li Er would definitely think they resembled each other, but after seeing Wang Xiang's sketches of Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde, he realized that the portraits drawn by those painters were really "similar in spirit, not similar in shape".
If Wang Xiang's sketches are [-]% or even [-]% like real people, Li Er's eyes only have two or three likenesses in the portraits drawn by those painters.

There is no way, remembering that Wang Xiang played with Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde for a while when he was drawing sketches, Li Er could only grunt dissatisfied and continue to sit back to accept Wang Xiang's "teaching".

Being able to train Li Er in this way can also make him not easy to get angry, Wang Xiang feels very fulfilled and secretly refreshed.

However, as soon as Li Er sat down, he had a serious and serious expression, no matter how much he could be adjusted, Wang Xiang really wanted to cry without tears, and said with a depressed face: "Your Majesty, why do you have to put on a serious expression as soon as you sit down?" Serious expression..."

Li Er was also depressed, usually not like this, but it was naturally like this when taking portraits, and he couldn't change it after getting used to it, so he was dissatisfied immediately: "This is the majesty of the emperor."

"Then can you temporarily put away your imperial majesty?"
