"Ah Jing, will your fifth brother be okay if he goes to the palace this time?" Mother Su looked at the direction in which Eunuch Lu's carriage was leaving, and asked Su Jing worriedly.
Seeing this, Shen Qingli smiled and comforted:
"Mom, don't panic, the fifth brother has become famous. It must have been a few days ago that my father went to the palace and mentioned to the emperor that the fifth brother was a painting prodigy. He also specially took a portrait that the fifth brother made for my mother a few years ago. Show it to the emperor.
I heard that recently the Emperor was thinking of re-drawing portraits for himself, the Queen, and all the ladies in the harem, so my father recommended the fifth brother to the Emperor. In addition, on the day of the wedding, the Fifth Brother made a wedding banquet picture on the spot and it was very popular. I think the Emperor I am also curious about whether his strength is as good as the rumors. Anyway, if I go this time, nothing will happen. "
After hearing her daughter-in-law's explanation, Su's mother felt a little calmer.
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Why are you always afraid that they will be bad at this or that? Relax!" Su's father saw clearly.
"Mom, fifth brother is careful and considerate of people's hearts. He is very measured. You don't need to worry about him getting into trouble. If it's Ayun, you can worry about it."
While Su Jing praised Su Yi, she also brought Su Yun out for comparison, which instantly made Su's mother laugh.
Su Yun himself is full of questions?
What, is this how you play?
"Brother, look at what you said, how can I be so unbearable?" Su Yun was so wronged that he died.
Su Wan laughed out loud unkindly, Brother Guoguo really hit the nail on the head.
Su Yun immediately became unhappy. He crossed his arms and looked at Su Wan, and retorted confidently:
"Yes, I'm not very good at talking. Don't eat the food I cook in the future."
"Don't bother me, fourth brother, it's okay if I'm wrong."
When Su Wan heard that he wasn't allowed to eat the food he cooked, it was okay. After all, he was the recognized chef in the family.
"Humph, it's too late!" Su Yun folded his arms and looked arrogant.
The two brothers and sisters were playing around, and the atmosphere was very lively.
When the elders and brothers saw this, they all smiled fondly.
Su Chen went to the city defense camp today as a duty officer, and he didn't know yet that his fifth brother had been summoned.
He led the team on horseback and conducted routine patrols on the streets, working conscientiously.
Not far away from the restaurant, Jiacheng's maid climbed on the window to observe quietly. When she saw Su Chen's figure, she immediately called her princess.
"Princess, General Su has appeared."
When Jiacheng heard this, he suddenly woke up from his drowsy appearance.
She quickly ran to the window and took a look. Sure enough, it was Su Chen riding a tall horse and wearing silver armor patrolling the streets. He looked majestic.
She adjusted her hair and clothes, dressing up in a ladylike style that was rare today.
"Let's go down!"
Jiacheng came to the first floor of the teahouse, saw the opportunity when Su Chen was passing by, and stepped out just in time.
"General Su, what a coincidence, I meet you again."
Su Chen was originally looking forward, working with a serious face, when he suddenly heard Jiacheng's voice.
Her voice was probably familiar to him because he had heard it so much recently.
Turning his head to look, he found Jiacheng standing on the steps looking at him. Today she changed from yesterday's prairie style, but wore a silk gauze chest-length skirt, revealing a swan neck and delicate collarbone.
Su Chen looked at the delicate white skin and the slender neck as if they could be broken with just a pinch.
Soon, he was shocked by his shameless thoughts, which made the tough guy blush.
"Hey, I've met Princess Jiacheng. What a coincidence!"
Su Chen stuttered a little, as if he only did this to Jiacheng. It was indeed a coincidence that he could see him every day in just a few days.
Behind him was a group of people from the city defense camp. Perhaps he felt embarrassed, so he said to Jiacheng:
"Princess Princess, I have some official duties to attend to, so I'll leave first. Please pay attention to your own safety on the street."
He rode on the horse and hugged her fist to greet her. After finishing, he drove the horse away again.
Jiacheng looked at his back stupidly and smiled:
"He asked me to pay attention to my safety. He was caring about me, right? He was so considerate!"
Xiaoqing, the maid next to her, didn't know what to say when she heard this.
Princess, it’s really hard to criticize you for looking like a nymphomaniac. You dress up so beautifully and go out just to meet General Su by chance, and then leave after saying a few words?
Later, Su Chen seemed to patrol the streets every day, and he always met Princess Jiacheng by chance. The coincidence was so unexpected that he couldn't believe it.
…
Su Yi entered the palace smoothly and followed Eunuch Lu to the emperor's residence, Zichen Hall.
On the way, I was deeply shocked when I saw the majestic palace with green bricks and jade tiles.
This was his first visit to the palace, so it was very memorable.
The emperor was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and was reviewing the memorial.
Su Yi was waiting outside, and Eunuch Lu went in first to report.
Not long after, Eunuch Lu reappeared and invited him in to see the saint.
After entering, Su Yi immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Common people see the emperor, long live the emperor."
The Holy Master put down the memorial and raised his eyes to look at the young man kneeling below.
When the Grand Scholar talked about it with him, he felt so magical that he wanted to see it in person.
It just so happened that he was very interested in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he also wanted to know whether the talented young people others said were true.
"Get up and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Yi stood up from the ground. Even so, he still lowered his head slightly and did not look around.
The Holy Father observed the young man carefully and found that he did not panic when facing himself, and behaved politely and very well.
"I heard from the bachelor that you are very accomplished in painting and have extraordinary talent. I have seen the portrait you painted for Mrs. Shen, and it is indeed amazing. I have called you into the palace this time because I want you to paint a portrait for me and me." Are you willing to have the Queen and the concubines in the harem paint a new portrait for inclusion?"
The so-called court portrait is a portrait painted in court clothes.
When Su Yi heard this, he immediately bowed pretentiously:
"The common people are willing to return to the emperor."
"Haha, looking at you like this, you are still a little eager to try. You must be very confident in your own strength."
The emperor originally thought that he would be slightly shocked and hesitated when he heard about it. After all, he was painting a portrait of the emperor, who was the most powerful emperor of the day, and the empress who was the mother of the world. If he messed up, he would be unhappy but would have to punish him. , Unexpectedly, this young man still looked forward to it. It seemed that the bachelor was not bragging about anything.
"The emperor is willing to give ordinary people a chance, and ordinary people should take advantage of it. There are not many opportunities in this life. Once you encounter it, you must grasp it firmly."
Su Yi was very candid, and the emperor appreciated his true nature, and then his smile became heartier.
"Okay, that's good. I also heard that on the day of Mr. Su's wedding, you made a wedding banquet picture on the spot. Did you bring it with you? I wonder if I would be lucky enough to appreciate it?"
The emperor used the word "lucky", which was really scary. No matter how calm Su Yi was, he would inevitably panic.
If you don't say that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, the emperor's polite words from time to time are enough to make you feel flustered for a long time.
