Why would the emperor think of coming here? Although Concubine De did say that she would hold a banquet here before, the emperor never said that he would also come.
This is nothing, the important thing is that the emperor himself came here at this time, and he also brought many ministers and princes with him.
Sure enough, the emperor arrived. All the girls quickly put down their pens and went to greet the emperor. The emperor stood there and smiled and said: "Everyone is exempt from the ceremony. Today is a good day. Everyone should be more casual. I heard Concubine De say, girl." We want to paint and write poems, and I’m here to join in the fun.”
Concubine De smiled and said: "It's great that His Highness can come. I think these girls will be more motivated after seeing His Highness, right?"
The emperor nodded. After sitting down, the ministers walked to the tables. At this time, Yan Ling had already drawn a lot. She didn't want to show off her literary talent, but she had no choice but to draw. She had nothing to do. I also use it to practice sometimes, and the things I make now can be regarded as something I have seen before.
Liang He had obviously finished handling the matter, so he walked behind Yan Ling, looked down, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he whispered into Yan Ling's ear: "Did you really do this? "
Yan Ling was concentrating on it, but the heat in her ears made her whole body tense up. She was startled, then turned around and said in a funny tone: "What's the matter? Can't I draw such a painting? Or is it in your eyes?" , Am I too stupid?"
Liang He narrowed his eyes, and it was very funny to see Yan Ling's angry look, and said, "Of course I didn't mean that, I was just complimenting you."
Yan Ling didn't say anything. At this time, most of the girls had basically finished painting, because the emperor was here, and the works that were previously intended for Concubine De were now given to the emperor.
The emperor was sitting there drinking tea, looking at the pictures one by one very leisurely. Some of them wrote poems, but most of them chose to paint, because there are not many things to express in painting, but poetry is different. , the poem shows too many things, and if you are not careful, the emperor will think that this girl has too little integrity or is not big-hearted.
Several ministers stood beside the emperor, and they all came over to look at each other, but they all shook their heads.
These ministers are very talented and knowledgeable. It seems that these girls' families are not very good at this aspect, so naturally the ministers don't like the things they create.
Suddenly, the emperor, who had been drowsy, took out a painting. It was a landscape painting. It was the scenery of the peach forest at this time. The painting used a lot of pink, which made people look at it at a glance. Bright.
The reason why this painting is so eye-catching is that many girls fail to paint the beauty and liveliness of this peach forest. On the contrary, many girls' colors are very bland. Looking at the painting, they feel that it is a pity for the beauty of this peach forest.
The emperor nodded and praised: "This painting is well done and the color is beautiful. It makes people feel very comfortable after looking at it. This is how the painting should be. What the scenery looks like is what the painting looks like."
When the ministers heard what the emperor said, they all gathered around to look at the painting carefully and praised it, not because they wanted to cater to the emperor, but because the painting was really beautiful.
But one of the highlights of this painting is that you can tell at a glance that it was painted by a woman.
But it doesn't have the fussiness of a woman's family. On the contrary, the color used makes people feel very free and easy.
Someone was making a big show here, so Concubine De and Mrs. Yan also hurried over and took a closer look.
Concubine De had already seen the works of these girls when they were painting.
They recognized at a glance that the painting was actually made by Yan Ling.
Isn't this woman very stupid? How could it be possible to draw such a delicate and beautiful painting
And it can also be appreciated by the emperor. You must know that the emperor did not see these girls painting when he came over, and she did not know who made the painting. However, he admired the painting blindly. It can only be said that he is not. If you want to please Yan Jia, you really need to appreciate this painting.
After the emperor took out this work and showed it to the ministers, he raised the work in his hand and said to the girls: "Who painted this painting?"
Yan Ling raised his eyes and saw that it was his own painting.
She was stunned, and she just drew it casually. Although she didn't want to be in the limelight, she only thought about not embarrassing herself and the Yan family, but she didn't expect that she couldn't escape in the end.
She took two steps forward, knelt on the ground and said to the emperor, "My little girl painted it."
The emperor looked Yan Ling up and down. He had seen Yan Ling several times and recognized that this was the eldest daughter of the Yan family, so he said to her: "Raise your head."
Yan Ling slowly raised his head. The emperor looked at her little face and said with a smile: "The painting is good. It can be seen that she has some ability. You are the eldest daughter of the Yan family, right?"
Yan Ling nodded in agreement. The emperor chuckled, nodded and said, "The daughters educated by the Yan family are really unique. I heard that your Yan family has another daughter. Is she here today?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yan actually mentioned her own daughter. She quickly walked over and pulled Yan Shuang over, knelt in front of the emperor and said, "This is the second daughter of our Yan family, Yan Shuang."
Yan Shuang didn't know what happened at all. He was completely numb. After kneeling on the ground, he lowered his head and didn't say a word.
Her action made the emperor very strange, and he said coldly: Is this the second daughter of your Yan family? Is there anything unhappy today? Why isn't there even the slightest smile on your face? "
Mrs. Yan was shocked and pinched Yan Shuang's thigh in private. Where is the emperor's question? How could there be no reaction at all
Yan Shuang was so painful that she shed tears, so she moved aside a little, raised her eyes and said to the emperor, "There is nothing unhappy. The peach blossoms are beautiful and the pastries are delicious."
The emperor touched his beard, laughed and said, "This girl is interesting. What works do you think of when you look at this peach blossom today?"
Yan Shuang's face turned pale instantly. Although she didn't want to admit it, she really didn't do anything.
So she shook her head and said, "As for the emperor, I don't have any works."
The emperor's smile froze on his face, he put away his smile and asked coldly: "You said you have no works?"
Yan Shuang nodded, but at this moment Mrs. Yan had already buried her head on the ground, wishing she had never come to the banquet. How could Yan Shuang be so stupid? But then again, Yan Shuang really doesn't know anything.
