Xiao Nianqing smiled lightly and didn't say much.

But when Chen Anning was about to hand over the painting, he suddenly frowned suspiciously.

"Wife." Chen Anning turned around and looked at Xiao Nianqing meaningfully: "I just heard that there are a hundred birds in this painting, why did I count them just now, and there are only 99?"

"There is another one on the branch behind the phoenix." Xiao Nianqing gave Chen Anning a look, and she could see the smirk in Chen Anning's eyes, "It's just the bird standing on the branch with its toes high."

Chen Anning raised her brows slightly, then shook her head: "This last one was drawn in a hurry."

"How to say?" Xiao Nianqing asked.

"I didn't control the brush and ink well, it was a little thicker, and it didn't look like a bird at first glance, but like... a pheasant."

Xiao Nianqing almost couldn't hold back the smile on the corner of her mouth: "...Maybe I was a little anxious, I haven't written for a long time, it's somewhat difficult to control."

Chen Anning nodded silently, then rolled up the painting and handed it to the princess in front of her.

Seeing that the concubine Shi Zi lowered her head at this moment, he smiled and asked again: "Concubine Shi Zi, why are your hands shaking?"

"it's okay no problem."

The concubine Shizi gritted her teeth, and took the scroll, with blue veins appearing on her snow-white neck: "Thank you... Madam Shaofu for your gift."

Xiao Nianqing glanced at Shi Zifei: "It's just a meeting ceremony, no thanks."

finally.

The concubine Shizi and the prince Shizi with ugly faces left Liu Jundian quickly.

Looking at the back of the couple leaving, the other couple looked at each other.

Chen Anning quietly gave Xiao Nianqing a thumbs up.

Xiao Nianqing blinked her left eye quickly, and gave Chen Anning a tacit look.

"..."

Liu Jun looked at the couple before realizing it.

The fat bird at the end of Xiao Nianqing is obviously a metaphor for the imperial concubine...the pheasant on the branch.

And almost no one noticed this before, only Chen Anning... saw Xiao Nianqing's intention at a glance.

Is this the tacit understanding between husband and wife?

For some reason, looking at Chen Anning and Xiao Nianqing, Liu Jun couldn't help lowering his head and thinking.

"Should I also marry a wife..."

The imperial city today.

The number of people who want to marry has increased.

298. Temple of Hundred Flowers

Seeing the prince and son fled in a hurry, Liu Qingqing, who had been holding back her anger before, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

When the painting she sent just now was regarded as a fake painting, this girl tried desperately to prove herself, but she was still young and had little experience in personnel, so she could only hold back her anger but could not vent it.

"Comfortable and comfortable~"

Liu Qingqing was very happy at the moment, with a smile on her immature and pretty face: "Who told them to pick things up? When they went back, their faces were all green~ Now you know it's wrong."

Liu Jun and Liu Lan looked at each other for their little sister's undisguised mocking behavior, showing helplessness.

As a child, it's normal to have a bit of a personality.

But it is impossible to say that they are unhappy.

Liu Jun was framed by the couple, which almost caused damage to his reputation. Although it didn't have a great impact on the overall situation, but being humiliated in public, Liu Jun naturally endured a bit of resentment in his heart.

As for Liu Lan, it was even simpler.

She has long been dissatisfied with this concubine who has no talent and no morals and only relies on her appearance, especially her high-ranking attitude. She often hears that the sisters around her say that this concubine will bully and suppress some other palace concubines. Chinese women.

Now the couple lost face at the art exhibition and were forced to accept Xiao Nianqing's humiliating painting, it can be said that they lost face to grandma's house.

Mind this.

Liu Jun turned sideways, looked at Xiao Nianqing, and said with admiration: "I never thought that Mrs. Shaofu also has such painting skills. This time it is also thanks to the help of the two of you."

"No need to thank you." Xiao Nianqing said flatly, "It's just a matter of convenience, and my painting skills are not very good. I just had a little interest in the past and studied it a little bit."

"Mrs. Shaofu is too modest."

Liu Jun corrected his expression, and then said seriously: "But in this way, I can rest assured to leave it to you two."

Chen Anning frowned slightly: "What?"

"Birthday gift painting." Liu Lan said suddenly, explaining to Chen Anning and the two: "According to the rules, we need to hand over a gift painting for the father for the romantic and elegant meeting on the birthday."

"According to the past practice, basically every member of the royal family participating in the Fengyue Yahui has to hand over a ceremony painting, and then the father will personally judge the paintings. The ones that the father likes the most will be accepted by the father. Royal father is happy, and maybe he will give some rewards."

That's all for the words.

Liu Jun also revealed his original purpose: "Third sister brought you here because she wanted me to retreat and paint with you, and to present a gift painting to Father Huang in the name of several of us. If you come here, you can use it This is a way to overcome the level of [painting art].”

If you think about it carefully, that's the only way to do it.

After all, painting is a delicate job, which tests both imagination and skills.

A painting that can be entrusted to Da Lie's pilgrimage must be meticulously crafted and carefully considered.

Logically speaking, a normal painter needs to start preparing birthday gift paintings seven days or even half a month in advance, and during the next period of time, they will conduct very strict retreats to ensure that they can enter the perfect state of painting.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to temporarily [show painting skills] at the Fengyue Yahui.

——Xiao Nianqing is an exception, this kind of genius who draws pictures like drinking water is usually not counted.

Therefore, this gave Liu Jun and others an idea - as long as Chen Anning was allowed to retreat in Liu Jun's hall, and Liu Jun and several other painters would work together to draw a birthday painting.

Immediately afterwards, he took out this ritual painting at the Fengyue Yahui, and declared to the public that it was jointly made by Liu Jun and Chen Anning...

In this way, it is enough to create the illusion of "Chen Anning is very skilled at painting".

When the time comes, I will teach Chen Anning a few painting skills in advance, so that Chen Anning can show it when faced with doubts, and then she will be able to pass the test of Fengyue Yahui safely!

"So that's how it is." Chen Anning immediately understood Liu Jun's thoughts: "Then what did the second prince mean by [Relax]...?"

"Because of this method, there is a possibility of being exposed." Liu Jun said in a deep voice: "There are many masters of painting in the palace, and all of them have sharp eyes. My painting skills have long been understood by them, and the few who live in my palace The techniques of the disciples of the painting sect are also very distinctive."

Xiao Nianqing understood, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "Can they tell if An Ning has participated in the painting process?"

"Yes." Liu Jun said helplessly, "Even if we try our best to cover up, some habits are difficult to change. If they observe carefully, they should be able to see that there is no handwriting of Princess Shaofu in the ceremony painting we handed in."

To put it bluntly, if the other party observes him, he can immediately find that Chen Anning is just a name.

If so, Chen Anning would no longer be able to take off the hat of deception, and would have to be questioned again whether she was a vulgar artist.

The risk is not small.

"But it's different now."

Liu Jun's eyes fell on Xiao Nianqing: "Mrs. Shaofu's painting skills are not bad, and apart from the "Huangque" just now, there are no leaked works, in other words——"

Liu Lan took her second brother's words: "Mrs. Shaofu's handwriting is difficult for those masters in the palace to see."

Understood.

Chen Anning showed a clear expression: "So what do you mean, let my daughter-in-law do the painting, and then submit the painting in my name?"

Liu Jun nodded: "I don't know what Mrs. Shao Fu wants?"

"Of course I'm fine." Xiao Nianqing glanced at Chen Anning who was beside her. If it was for her husband, she would do anything, let alone it was just a trivial matter.

On the other hand, Chen Anning blinked blankly: "Then I don't have to do anything?"

Liu Lan rolled her eyes at Chen Anning directly: "You just need to make sure that your piano and chess skills are fine. Under normal performance, it is enough to scare the so-called masters in the palace."

Chen Anning pondered for a while after hearing the words.

Let him just stay in Liu Jundian like this, doing nothing, always feeling uncomfortable.

After a period of contemplation, Chen Anning seemed to suddenly think of something.

"Your Highness, Second Prince." He raised his head and looked at Liu Jun: "Have you guys thought about the theme of this ritual painting?"

"theme?"

Liu Jun shook his head lightly, he hadn't figured out what to paint in this ceremony painting yet.

Choosing a good theme is more likely to arouse the interest of the emperor. In the past, Liu Jun will also think carefully about birthdays.

Chen Anning smiled indifferently: "I suddenly thought of a good theme, which can not only draw a good painting, but also prove from the side that this painting is related to me."

Liu Lan stared at Chen Anning, she felt that this doctor Chen was about to start working again: "What do you want to draw?"

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Chen Anning smiled slightly.

"Drawing the City of Hundred Flowers."

……

When it came to painting, and it was a painting handed over to His Majesty, Chen Anning immediately thought of a certain famous map of the original world.

It used to be Qingming Shanghe, but now there is a temple full of flowers.

Anyway, it is necessary to draw, it is better to draw a king and blow it out, so as to save the masters in the palace from forcing them to do so.

After listening to Chen Anning's narration, Liu Jun revealed a pensive look on his face, and said, "So what Princess Shaofu means is to describe the grand occasion of the Baihua City Temple Fair from multiple perspectives."

"This is a good idea." Liu Lan echoed Chen Anning's proposal: "The Hundred Flowers City is the original residence of Princess Shaofu. If it can be displayed as a scroll, many people will believe that this painting was created by Made by Princess Shaofu."

After all, other people don't know much about Hundred Flowers City, and those who don't know about Hundred Flowers City can't make paintings about the temple fair of Hundred Flowers City.

"It's just that in this case, the length and width of the scroll may need to be re-measured, and the amount of work for this painting..."

It's too big.

According to Chen Anning's thinking, if he wanted to paint the stunning scenery of the Hundred Flowers City Temple Fair, he would probably need a scroll that was at least five meters long.

The amount of work involved in this kind of painting is astonishingly large, and it cannot be solved overnight.

but--

"should be no problem."
