After the banquet was over and everyone dispersed, Jiang Waner and Princess Yongning summoned Zhao Hao alone.
Zhao Hao's painting and the two poems that followed were also brought over immediately.
Jiang Waner looked carefully at the lifelike self in the painting, still feeling incredible.
The same goes for Princess Yongning on the side. Her beautiful eyes blinked and her gaze fell on Zhao Hao.
"Zhao Hao, where did you learn this painting skill?"
“It’s breathtaking!”
Zhao Hao has put away his casualness in Linde Hall and returned to his original humble self.
"Your Highness, you are so complimentary. I have always liked the hands-on study of objects. The more I do it, I always make some new discoveries."
“That’s where the technique of this painting comes from.”
"Because it has no color and emphasizes the realistic depiction of the actual object, I call this technique sketching."
Jiang Waner held the painting, admiring it, and agreed: "What a good name, very appropriate!"
"I think your technique will definitely be widely recognized in the future!"
Zhao Hao bowed: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Waner smiled and said: "Zhao Hao, you have made great achievements today, tell me, what reward do you want?"
Zhao Hao: "Your Majesty, you and Your Highness the Princess have given me enough, I really can't ask for anything more!"
Jiang Waner's beautiful eyes flashed.
"You little guy, you have to think clearly, there are not many opportunities like this!"
Zhao Hao shook his head and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Zhao Hao speaks from the bottom of his heart. In my opinion, it is your duty to contribute to the country, and Your Majesty does not need rewards!"
Princess Yongning on the side said quickly: "Sister Huang, Zhao Hao has recently invented a kind of soap, which is also very popular. Our internal funds are also involved!"
"In my estimation, if the scale is expanded, it will be an extremely considerable income."
Jiang Waner smiled and shook her head, seeing through Princess Yongning's thoughts at a glance.
She said lazily and helplessly: "What should we do? This little guy doesn't want to be an official, and he doesn't lack anything."
"You also saw that the imperial sister wanted to reward him, but he didn't want it!"
Zhao Hao quickly said: "Your Majesty, if you really don't need a reward, don't bother with this matter!"
Jiang Waner nodded.
"Okay, that's it. I'll write down today's reward for you first. If you want something someday, I'll reward you again!"
Zhao Hao immediately thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
…
Over at Jiaofang Hall, three people were talking.
In the post house at this moment.
Princess Lige had just separated from the Wu Kingdom and returned to the courtyard with a few people from the Shu Kingdom.
In the room, Princess Lige felt a little heavy.
Zhao Hao's relaxed and casual appearance kept popping up in his mind.
There was such a young man with such amazing talents in Qian country, and the two countries didn't even know about it.
Who is this person?
She really wanted to know.
So on the way back, she had already ordered someone to inquire about it.
While he was thinking about it, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Then, a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in ordinary clothes, walked in quietly.
"Meet the princess!"
Princess Lige nodded.
"Get up!"
"Did you find out everything I asked you to inquire about?"
The young man said respectfully: "Reporting to the princess, I have already found out everything. That Zhao Hao is the only son of the internal historian Zhao Wenxiang, and his reputation is extremely bad."
"He likes hanging around Goulan the most."
"Everyone in Daqian Imperial Capital knows that he is ignorant and unskilled, bullying men and dominating women."
"A typical piece of trash."
"Not long ago, he even molested Princess Yongning, the most beloved sister of Emperor Daqian, in the street while drunk, and was thrown into a prison."
"And just three days before Wenzhan, he invented the thunderbolt in Tianlao, made great achievements, and was pardoned from the death penalty."
Hearing what the young man said, Princess Lige's expression suddenly changed and she stood up from her chair.
"What did you say?"
"In the battle of Mubeicheng, the thunderbolt used by Daqian was invented by Zhao Hao?"
The young man nodded quickly.
"Yes, princess, this matter is absolutely true and absolutely not false. When the Mubeicheng soldiers returned not long ago, Zhao Hao was present and the Emperor of Qian Kingdom personally announced this matter."
Princess Li Ge took a breath of cold air and said with an moved expression: "I can't believe that this person actually invented the Bang Tian Lei!"
Young man: "Princess, that's not all. The cooking at today's banquet and the extremely strong dry wine were all invented by this person!"
"What?"
Princess Lige exclaimed.
"Please tell me in detail what's going on. Don't miss anything."
"yes!"
The young man nodded.
"Before he was sent to the sky prison, Zhao Hao had an extremely bad reputation. He was a worthless waste and had never shown anything special."
"But after I came out of the prison, I felt like a different person."
"He became low-key and even opened a restaurant."
"It's called the First Floor."
"That stir-fry is made on the first floor!"
“Then dry wine was invented!”
"This Ganjiu has already cooperated with the Daqian Royal Family to establish a new winery. I believe that it will spread completely before long."
"The most important thing is, I don't know why, he also showed a poetic talent."
"At the Daqian Golden Autumn Cultural Conference, I fought with Sun Wen, the direct descendant of the Prime Minister of the Left."
"Win in one fell swoop!"
"By the way, he also invented a food called tofu!"
"Now it has become popular throughout Daqian Imperial Capital and has become a delicious food that everyone loves to eat."
Princess Lige was speechless for a long time after listening.
If this is really the case, then this Zhao Hao is so awesome!
But it was such a person that the Emperor Qian didn’t reuse him. It was such a waste!
Thinking of this, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.
"Okay, okay, okay, although I lost this literary battle, I gained something else!"
"If you get this person, wouldn't it be the same as getting Hong Tian Lei?"
Princess Lige's heart became hot again.
I originally thought that Wen Dou failed and Hong Tianlei was completely lost.
Unexpectedly, it took a turn of events.
Since Zhao Hao was abandoned by the Qian Kingdom like a worn-out shoe, the Shu Kingdom must get it.
Moreover, apart from Hongtian, there must be other surprises in this person.
If you can bring it to Shu, the harvest may be greater than a thunder!
Thinking of this, she immediately wrote a letter and gave it to the young man.
"Send this letter back home immediately and give it to my imperial sister!"
"Ask her to send a letter of credence!"
"This matter is extremely urgent. Set out immediately and be sure to return as soon as possible!"
The young man stretched out his hand to take the letter and hurriedly stepped out.
Li Ge walked slowly to the door and looked up at the starry night sky.
"Zhao Hao, what kind of person are you?"
"Why has there been such an earth-shaking change in you?"
