Emperor Yinhua also raised the corner of his mouth slightly at this time.
The story of the painter?
It's really a tailor-made article.
However, he had already made up his mind that there was no way he would let Li Suijiu go tonight, so although he was expecting something in his heart, it didn't show on his face.
Li Suijiu continued to tell.
At this time, it was said that the scholar named Wu arrived at a temple.
The words "Yuenv Temple" were written on the temple door. Wu Sheng felt strange and thought to himself: Don't monks pay attention to being pure and abstaining from desires? Why do you miss women?
So, he entered the temple to check.
After entering, I saw an old monk painting a mural.
Because he was too far away to see clearly what was being painted, he was very anxious, so he entered the main hall and walked around behind the old monk to watch.
I saw that the old monk was painting a scene of a woman getting married.
A slim and graceful girl wearing a gorgeous wedding dress was pushed onto the sedan chair by a group of people.
Some of the wedding ceremony teams around were beating gongs and drums, and a string of lit firecrackers hung above the door. It seemed that the explosion of firecrackers could be heard. It was so lively.
But the bride's head was covered with a red hijab, so her appearance could not be seen clearly.
Moreover, not far away, there was a scholar in white who was reaching out, as if he wanted to grab the bride and prevent her from getting on the sedan chair...
At this point in the story, everyone has been attracted by the story.
Not only was he interested in what happened to Wu Sheng, but he also wanted to know the meaning of the mural painted by the old monk.
Even Emperor Yinhua stopped drinking tea and listened intently to the story.
And Li Suijiu did not pause in the middle and continued to talk about the following things.
It is also said that Wu Sheng sighed at the content of the mural: "What an infatuated man and woman."
This naturally alarmed the old monk. The old monk looked back and saw Wu Sheng and asked some more questions. He felt that Wu Sheng was very smart and seemed to have some insights into paintings.
With the thought of accepting a disciple in his heart, he tested Wu Sheng and asked: What do you see in the painting?
Wu Sheng replied: This painting is extraordinary and unparalleled. It is a rare masterpiece in the world. The bride and the young man were supposed to be a couple, but they were ruthlessly separated. It was really sad.
The old monk was very satisfied with Wu Sheng's answer and said: If you are really determined to learn painting, I can accept you as a disciple.
When Wu Sheng heard this, he immediately knelt down and paid homage.
After that, Wu Sheng lived in the temple and received careful instruction from the old monk. Within a year or two, he achieved extremely high attainments.
In particular, the characters in Wu Sheng's works are more charming and lifelike.
"Crack!"
The teacup in Emperor Yinhua's hand was broken.
It was obvious that he crushed the tea house unconsciously because of the tension in his heart.
The girls serving next to them were startled and asked one after another: "What's wrong with the emperor?"
"Shut up!"
The scene suddenly became silent again.
But in fact, Emperor Yinhua was in an extremely moody mood right now. His pair of shining purple eyes stared closely at Li Suijiu, who was telling the story in the lake, with an extremely complicated expression.
Li Suijiu didn't pay attention to Emperor Yinhua's expression and concentrated on telling the story.
Then, it was said that Wu Sheng asked the old monk: What did the bride painted by the master that day look like? I was very curious about the appearance of the bride.
The old monk replied: How can we know what the bride looks like before the painting is finished?
Although he did not directly answer Wu Sheng's question, the old monk still told Wu Sheng the identity of the woman, saying: The woman in the painting is called Lin Yue, and she and the scholar in white are childhood sweethearts.
It's a pity that Lin Yue's father thought that the white-clothed scholar's family was poor and didn't want the two to get along, so he married Lin Yue to a playboy.
At this point, the old monk choked up and stopped talking.
How could Wu Sheng not understand?
The scholar in white clothes in the painting is obviously his master!
Unfortunately, after the separation between Master and Lin Yue, there was naturally no more love in his heart, so he came to this temple to become a monk, and that's why he named the temple "Yuenv Temple".
After the truth comes out.
Wu Sheng secretly vowed in his heart that he would fulfill his wish for his master, so he worked harder and harder to learn the art of painting.
A year later, the old monk passed away, leaving behind two white relics.
In grief, Wu Sheng decided to finish painting the murals left by his master. He ground the two relics into powder, soaked them in the paint, and picked up a brush to paint on the wall.
Wait until the mural is completed.
A young monk opened the door and asked Wu Sheng to eat, but he saw that the murals in the main hall came to life.
After Lin Yue jumped down from the sedan chair, she ran straight towards the scholar in white, took the red hijab and threw it on the ground.
At this time, Lin Yue's appearance was finally revealed.
Pearls are round and round, and they are charming.
Then, Lin Yue took off her wedding clothes, revealing a light and colorful fairy dress underneath, with her long hair flowing like a fairy.
The scholar in white also ran over and hugged Lin Yue.
Lin Yue cried and said, "Li Lang, let's go."
After that, he took the scholar and flew into the sky and disappeared.
Father Lin looked at the sky and cried loudly, as if to say: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have separated them."
The young monks looked at this scene and were amazed.
The mural came to life!
But Wu Sheng said with a smile: "Master, you and Lin Yue will be together in heaven. I have done everything I should do as an apprentice. It's time to leave the temple."
The story ends here.
Everyone has heard it and felt it was strange and wonderful.
Not only was he pleased with the story of the scholar in white and Lin Yue, but he also admired Wu Sheng's painting skills for being able to make the characters in the mural come alive.
At this time, everyone naturally thought of the painting skills shown by Emperor Yinhua before.
So is it!
The girl in the painting is dancing gracefully.
Isn’t it just like Wu Sheng in the story?
Zhou You probably had the strongest feeling in his heart, because he was also good at strange stories, but just after seeing the skills displayed by Emperor Yinhua, he was able to tell such a wonderful story on the spot, but he felt ashamed that he couldn't do it.
"What a fantastic article!"
"Yes, Huai Jin's talent really puts us to shame!"
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
The other scholars also sighed.
Naturally, his eyes turned to Emperor Yinhua. Emperor Yinhua's eyes were shining, and there was a faint mist in them, as if he was recalling some past events.
In fact, the story is already very good at this point.
But Li Suijiu is still telling the second part.
Next, it is said that Wu Sheng came to a city and happened to meet the daughter of the governor, Nian Fang, who was eighteen years old. She passed away in love and was recruiting a painter with a lot of money to paint a portrait for her daughter.
However, it was summer at that time, and the daughter who was patrolling the palace was already swollen and looked ugly. The painters who went to watch felt sick and helpless.
When Wu Sheng heard about this, he took the initiative to give it a try.
When the inspector saw that Wu Sheng was handsome and showed his talent, he said: If Wu Sheng can really paint a picture of his daughter's life, I will hire you as a painter and enjoy endless glory.
Wu Sheng agreed and came to look at the corpse of his daughter who was patrolling the mansion. He also said, "When I am painting, no outsiders can disturb me."
So everyone left.
Half a day later.
When the patrolman opened the door again.
I saw Wu Sheng had come out with a painting.
When the Xunfu opened it, he saw that the daughter in the painting was smiling at him, as beautiful as in life.
Wu Sheng said: The soul of Lord Xunfu's daughter has been attached to the painting, and she can be by your side forever.
"Painting Soul!!"
Only then did the Xunfu realize that the Wu Sheng in front of him had an astonishing talent. If he only stayed by his side, he might be wronging Wu Sheng's talent.
Then, he was recommended to the palace to paint paintings for the concubines and princesses in the harem.
Wu Sheng's painting skills were extraordinary, and the concubines and princesses loved him very much. Even the emperor praised him full of praise and named him - Painting Immortal!
At this point, the story is finished.
After listening to the story, everyone was silent for a long time.
Although Xu Youfu and others did not speak, they were already cheering loudly in their hearts.
Zhou You and others felt that the story was not only strange, but also had an excellent ending.
I am a successful painter, but I am called a Painter?
Is there any achievement higher than that of a painting fairy?
Ji Qingzhu looked at Li Suijiu with light shining in his eyes.
After all, even she didn't think Li Suijiu could tell any wonderful story about a painter before the story began.
But now?
After this story is told.
She knew that the young man in front of her was more powerful than she imagined.
"What a story about an artist painting a soul!" Ji Qingzhu knew that no matter what the ending was tonight, this story about an artist painting a soul would leave a lasting impression.
"Meow~"
The black cat was extremely happy.
That expression seemed to say: Jinlang, you are really awesome.
Li Suijiu smiled, touched the black cat's head, and looked at Emperor Yinhua by the lake: "What do you think of my story, Emperor?"
"..."
no respond.
Emperor Yinhua seemed to be trapped in some kind of memory and could not get out.
Li Suijiu could only ask: "What do you think of the story, Emperor?"
"Huh?!" Emperor Yinhua trembled.
"Is the emperor satisfied?" Li Suijiu asked for the third time.
"..." Emperor Yinhua still didn't answer, but looked at Ziyue hanging high in the sky and said, "Li Suijiu, I have truly seen your talent today."
"What do you mean, Emperor?"
"I would like to slightly modify the ending of your story."
"The Emperor wants to revise the story?"
"..."
Everyone was shocked.
I wonder what this Emperor Yinhua means?
But Emperor Yinhua had already spoken directly: "After Wu Sheng arrived in the palace, he painted for the concubine and the princess every day, and he was indeed loved by everyone.
The emperor also often praised him.
One day, the emperor's favorite Princess Yuxiang summoned Wu Sheng to paint.
When Wu Sheng went in, he saw the princess taking a bath. He was immediately attracted by the scene in front of him, so he couldn't help but draw the scene of the princess bathing.
When the princess came out of the bath and saw Wu Sheng's paintings, her face flushed and she said frankly: She was very attracted to Wu Sheng in her heart and wanted to stay with Wu Sheng for the rest of her life.
After hearing the princess's confession, Wu Sheng realized that the princess had summoned him to paint while taking a bath today, which was actually intentional.
Although Wu Sheng also fell in love with the princess in his heart, but he also knew that his status was humble, so how could he agree?
Naturally, he rejected the princess's kindness.
