On the drawing paper, I could see Li Daoxuan's pen moving around like a dragon and a snake. He even closed his eyes as he wished, as if everything on the paper was under his control. In less than a moment, the dragon was completed.
Something suspiciously like a long worm appeared on the drawing paper, and it was a little chubby, like a wriggling fat-headed worm.
As for painting skills... there are no skills at all. A good painter like Li Chunfeng feels bad just by looking at it.
"Zhenren Li is indeed very skilled in painting. The level of this painting is probably comparable to the graffiti of a three-year-old child."
Li Chunfeng's voice had a hint of sarcasm.
As a master of painting, the portraits he painted of generals were ineffective. Isn't it ridiculous that Li Daoxuan's painting skills are so generous?
Li Shimin glanced at Li Chunfeng and sighed in his heart.
Li Chunfeng is an extraordinary talent in Louguan Taoism. He entered the Yin Shen Realm before he was thirty, and he is in a high position. He has always been a little arrogant.
As the imperial eunuch Shi Ling, he was somewhat remorseful for not being able to solve the emperor's nightmare, so he had to turn to the Taoist priests at Longhu Mountain for help. To him, this was a sign of incompetence.
So when Li Daoxuan first entered the palace, his eyes were somewhat scrutinizing.
"Zhenren Li, if you have no other choice, please tell me frankly. Why bother talking about it? You must know that this is the Manna Palace. How can you be allowed to be presumptuous in front of the emperor?"
Li Chunfeng issued a warning. He believed that Li Daoxuan relied on his strong Taoism and profound background, so he despised the emperor and deliberately teased him.
Li Shimin coughed and said: "My dear, don't be impatient. I believe that Taichong must have a purpose in painting this... dragon."
Li Shimin was an emperor with high artistic attainments, both civil and military, and especially fond of calligraphy. It is said that Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface" was treasured by him.
But at this moment, he had no choice but to say a word for Li Daoxuan regardless of his conscience.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Li Dao
Li Chunfeng said calmly: "What Master Li means is that my Taoism has become commonplace?"
"Haha, how dare you, how dare you, it's just that you have specialization in the art."
Li Daoxuan handed the painting to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, before going to bed at night, you can hang this painting on the bedside. It may have miraculous effects."
Li Shimin was hesitant, but still accepted it.
"By the way, Taichong, how's the investigation of the missing-eye case going?"
He was worried that Li Chunfeng would be obsessed with painting again, so he casually changed the topic.
I thought that Li Daoxuan would not be able to find clues so quickly when he first arrived. After all, the case had been dragged on for several months and there was no progress.
Unexpectedly, Li Daoxuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there are indeed some clues about this case. I believe that the murderer will be found soon."
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up.
Li Chunfeng was doubtful. He now felt more and more that Li Daoxuan was not very capable, but his tone was extremely powerful.
…
Leave the Manna Hall.
Li Chunfeng walked with Li Daoxuan. He held his head high, kept a distance from Li Daoxuan, and did not speak.
Li Daoxuan looked at him.
Li Chunfeng has a jade-like face, a slender figure, and is wearing a Taoist robe. He looks flawlessly handsome. In terms of appearance, he can vaguely threaten Li Daoxuan.
The biggest characteristic of this person is his cleanliness.
From head to toe, there was not even a single wrinkle in the Taoist robe, not to mention a wisp of dust.
He wore a Taoist crown and his hair was neatly combed. With Li Daoxuan's eyesight, he couldn't even find a single stray hair.
This is a man who looks like both a Taoist priest and a Confucian scholar.
Compared with him, Li Daoxuan is much more casual. He dresses for comfort, with wide-sleeved robes, and his long hair is just tied up casually. When the breeze blows, a few strands of hair will float with it from time to time.
Li Chunfeng looked away and stopped looking at the other party's casual attire to avoid being upset.
"Brother Huang Guanzi, do you have any objections to Pindao in your heart?"
Li Daoxuan was the first to speak and asked, "Huang Guanzi is Li Chunfeng's Taoist nickname."
Li Chunfeng said calmly: "I don't dare. You are a real person from Longhu Mountain. My Louguan Taoism is no better than a small sect. How dare you——"
Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly shook, because Li Daoxuan actually put his arm around his shoulders, looking familiar.
"Haha, Brother Taoist is joking. The founder of Louguan Taoism is Zhenren Yin Xi, my first disciple, and my founder of Longhu Mountain is also my disciple. So after all, we are all in the same spirit!"
Li Chunfeng frowned, feeling that his whole body was unclean, and goosebumps suddenly appeared all over his body.
He had a habit since he was a child that he couldn't tolerate a little mess. At this moment, with Li Daoxuan holding his shoulders, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Ma'am, we don't know each other very well."
Li Chunfeng tried hard to distance himself, but he found that no matter how hard he dodge, he couldn't avoid Li Daoxuan's hand.
Even if he has three talents and a strange door, Li Daoxuan can always follow him.
After a while.
Li Chunfeng's eyes were full of helplessness. He straightened his clothes, wiped the places touched by Li Daoxuan, and sighed: "The real Taoist method is profound, and I am not as good as me."
Li Daoxuan said quickly: "Look what you said, I don't care about you, I just want to try your sect's method."
After a pause, he said: "Of course, I actually have one more thing I want to ask Brother Dao."
"What's the matter?"
Li Dao
Li Chunfeng frowned. Could it be that the thing the other party drew was really magical?
At this moment, a small figure ran from a distance, with two palace ladies chasing behind him.
"Your Highness, slow down!"
"Your Highness, watch your step!"
What ran over was a little girl wearing a white fairy skirt. Her long hair was fluttering, dotted with pearls and butterfly-like jade ornaments. Her long black hair was fluttering in the wind. She held the hem of the skirt in one hand and a hand in the other. With a big food box.
Li Chunfeng was startled and said quickly: "This is His Majesty's favorite Princess Changle. Let's get out of the way quickly and don't hit the princess."
The two stepped aside and bowed.
But who would have thought that the snow-white skirt stopped in front of the two of them. Chang Le gasped and said happily: "Finally... finally caught up!"
Her voice is as clear as the first call of an oriole, like the sound of wind chimes.
Li Chunfeng stepped forward and said, "Why does Your Highness want to see me?"
He lowered his head, abiding by etiquette, and did not look directly at the princess' face. However, Li Daoxuan did not have so many rules. After saluting, he straightened his back and looked curiously at Li Shimin's favorite princess.
It has to be said that, having inherited the genes of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, this Princess Changle is very outstanding in appearance, with clear eyes, skin as good as snow, and a pink and jade carving, like an exquisite porcelain doll.
It has been recorded in history books: "Princess Changle studied Shuling in Chenji and taught Mingming to Xuanyao."
It is said that when she was born, she was accompanied by colorful clouds in the sky. When she was born, her skin was as white as jade and she was very cute. Li Shimin was so happy that he named her Li Zhi, which means natural beauty.
Later, Li Shimin became more and more fond of her. When she was only eight years old, she was canonized as Princess Changle, and her reputation spread throughout Chang'an.
In history, Li Shimin also personally selected a husband for Princess Changle. After thousands of selections, she married the son of the powerful official Changsun Wuji. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Princess Changle died of illness. Li Shimin was deeply saddened and made an exception despite the opposition of the officials. Let him be buried near Zhaoling.
Li Daoxuan nodded. Seeing the princess for the first time satisfied his curiosity.
He has a noble temperament at a young age. It seems that the emperor's tutor is indeed extraordinary.
Princess Changle returned the gift to Li Chunfeng and said, "I...I want to ask for a peace charm for my mother and concubine."
There was a hint of understanding in Li Chunfeng's eyes. Queen Changsun was already ten months pregnant. The princess's move could be described as pure filial piety.
He put his hand into his sleeve and was about to take out a peace charm.
However, Princess Changle took a deep breath, walked to Li Daoxuan, raised her little face, and summoned up the courage to say: "Li, Master Li, can you give me a peace charm?"
Li Chunfeng's expression froze and he froze on the spot.
