"General Bai, please get in the car. Your Majesty and the concubine have personally told us to invite General Bai into the palace."
At the entrance of Tiance Mansion, among the palace team arriving, the attendant at the head smiled ingratiatingly at Bai Yuxian.
"My father-in-law said something serious. It is an honor for Yuxian to be summoned by His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine. I also have my father-in-law to pick me up."
Bai Yuxian also smiled and cupped his hands before getting into the carriage.
"Walk."
"drive."
At this time, in the Tiance Mansion, Mrs. Bai and other female family members from the Wuhou Mansion were also present.
Looking at the carriage slowly heading towards the palace, Mrs. Bai couldn't help but show envy on her face.
"Brother Xian is really valued by His Majesty."
It is rare for ordinary ministers to even have the opportunity to be summoned by the emperor to the palace, not to mention that the emperor personally sends a carriage to pick up people like Bai Yuxian. This shows how high Bai Yuxian's status is in the emperor's heart at this moment.
It would be great if this was his Wuhou Mansion.
What an honor and scenery it will be then.
Mrs. Bai couldn't help but think with envy in her heart.
But then he shook his head in his heart, feeling that it would be better for him to be more pragmatic now.
The current Wuhou Mansion, let alone its honor and glory, must quickly find a way to reinstate Governor Bai to preserve Wuhou Mansion. Otherwise, let alone its honor and glory, Wuhou Mansion may not be able to save it.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Bai couldn't help but glance at the five girls behind her: Bai Qian, Bai Qian, Bai Xue, Bai Yue, and Bai Lan.——
"Your Majesty, your concubine, General Bai will bring you here."
"I, Bai Yuxian, pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Not long after.
Royal Palace Garden.
Bai Yuxian came to Li Longji and bowed.
At this time, Li Longji was with Yang Yuhuan, with a look of pride on his face.
Seeing Bai Yuxian arriving, he immediately laughed and said.
"Haha, Jade Immortal is here. Come and sit quickly. No need to be restrained. We, the monarch and our ministers, are not polite to each other in private."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Bai Yuxian thanked him again, but his attitude remained humble and respectful.
Li Longji told him not to be polite, but he would not take it seriously, not to mention that Yang Yuhuan was still there at this time.
At this time, Yang Yuhuan was dressed in palace attire, with a phoenix crown and gold hairpin on his head, and a touch of pink between his eyebrows. He looked graceful and noble. Coupled with his stunning and beautiful face, he exuded a sense of elegance with every smile and every move he made. This enchanting charm makes people dare not look directly.
Bai Yuxian glanced at Yang Yuhuan from the corner of his eye, and then didn't look any further.
Yang Yuhuan's beautiful eyes have been falling on Bai Yuxian since Bai Yuxian arrived, and her heart can't help but fluctuate.
She had to admit that in her life, Bai Yuxian was the first man she had truly fallen in love with, and he was the kind of man she thought about day and night and couldn't even let go of him.
How many times have I been haunted by the figure of Bai Yuxian?
Especially when they met by chance in Xiangshan for the first time, the scene where the two of them played together under the moonlight in front of flowers and played the piano and the harp was the most beautiful scene in Yang Yuhuan's heart.
Trying to suppress all the emotions in his heart to avoid letting other people present, especially Li Longji, notice anything strange, Yang Yuhuan looked at Bai Yuxiandao calmly.
"General Bai still remembers his previous promise. If His Majesty agrees, he will paint for me."
"It's natural. The imperial concubine is the queen of the country and the city. She is an immortal descended to earth. It is also an honor for the jade immortal to be favored by the imperial concubine and paint for the imperial concubine. As long as she can get your majesty's permission."
Bai Yuxian replied.
"Haha, Yuxian, you are good at everything. It's just that sometimes you are too old-fashioned. It's just a painting. Just do whatever the noble concubine asks you to do. Why do you need to go to such trouble to ask for my consent?" Li Longji heard. Yan immediately laughed loudly, feeling extremely satisfied with Bai Yuxian's attitude and performance, and said: "There is no need to do this again in the future. If the Imperial Concubine asks you to paint or do other things again, you can just follow the Imperial Concubine's wishes. All is promised.”
What if the imperial concubine is greedy for my body?
I will do everything as you promised, right?
Bai Yuxian couldn't help but murmur in his heart when he heard this, but on the surface he still said respectfully.
"yes."
Yang Yuhuan, who was nearby, heard Li Longji's words and a smile flashed through his eyes without leaving any trace.
What she wants is Li Longji's attitude.
If Li Longji is like this, she will have more reasons to find Bai Yuxian to enter the palace in the future.
"Your Majesty, I have long heard that General Bai is not only good at civil and military affairs, but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is especially good at painting beauties. I have long wanted General Bai to draw a picture for me, but unfortunately I have never been able to do so. General Bai asked for it. General Bai said that he needs your Majesty's permission. Today, Your Majesty must ask General Bai to paint a good picture for my concubine."
Yang Yuhuan said to Li Longji again, with a sweet voice, coupled with Yang Yuhuan's overwhelming words, Li Longji's heart was almost melted by Yang Yuhuan's scream, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, my concubine, don't worry. If my concubine likes Yuxian, then I will let Yuxian paint for my concubine."
"If my concubine likes it, I can ask the Jade Fairy to paint you every day from now on, my concubine."
When Yang Yuhuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
If you let Bai Yuxian paint for you every day, wouldn't it mean that you can see Bai Yuxian and Bai Yuxian get along with each other every day? That would be great.
He was overjoyed, but Yang Yuhuan immediately suppressed this joy. He knew in his heart that Li Longji's words were just words of temporary joy. If he really acted too eagerly and made Li Longji suspicious, then it would be him and Bai Yu. The catastrophe of immortality.
We can't rush this matter, we can only take care of it slowly and say with a smile.
"General Bai is loyal to the emperor, patriotic, both civil and military, and has more important things to do for your majesty. How can I delay the official business because of my personal preferences? From now on, as long as your majesty and general Bai are free, I can get your Majesty's permission to get Bai." If the general paints a picture, my concubine will be satisfied."
"My beloved concubine is concerned about the country and the people, which is really the blessing of our Tang Dynasty and my blessing."
Li Longji was even more happy when he heard this.
Bai Yuxian's face remained calm, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Women are indeed born actors.
Compared with when he first met Yang Yuhuan, Yang Yuhuan is completely different now, especially the tea art skills he displayed, which is so good for Li Longji.
No wonder Li Longji has ignored government affairs recently.
In addition to Yang Yuhuan's own beauty, Yang Yuhuan is not weak at all in terms of tea skills and skills.
"Come here, bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Immediately, Li Longji gave the order for Bai Yuxian to start painting Yang Yuhuan.
"I don't know how the imperial concubine wants Yuxian to paint. Is it to let Yuxian draw directly based on the empress's current appearance and behavior and the surrounding objects, or let Yuxian use the imperial concubine's appearance as a reference to paint with other free imagination."
Bai Yuxian also asked Yang Yuhuan immediately.
Yang Yuhuan thought for a while after hearing this.
"How about the general draw a picture for me first using the actual object as a reference."
"Okay, then the imperial concubine can just find a place and pose she likes."
Bai Yuxian nodded.
Following Bai Yuxian's command, Yang Yuhuan immediately sat down on a nearby waterside pavilion promenade, leaning on the railing.
Seeing Yang Yuhuan's posture, Bai Yuxian's mind instantly formed a picture like a super computer.
Immediately afterwards, the brush in Bai Yuxian's hand moved like a dragon and a snake, and he began to draw quickly on the rice paper.
Paint people and sceneries.
A frown, a smile, an object.
Bai Yuxian's painting speed is also extremely fast, and the whole process is almost completed in one go.
In less than half a moment, a picture of a beautiful woman leaning on a railing appeared on the paper.
In the painting, Yang Yuhuan is leaning on the railing on the waterside pavilion corridor. His every smile, expression and behavior are lifelike, and the surrounding scenery is also exactly the same.
At first glance, the whole painting feels like it is alive. Whether it is the people or the scenery in the painting, it gives people a lifelike sense of reality.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Li Longji, who had been standing behind Bai Yuxian and watching Bai Yuxian finish the entire painting, couldn't help but clapped his hands and cheered when he saw the finished painting, with a look of surprise on his face.
To be honest, Li Longji was really amazed by Bai Yuxian's painting skills, especially Yang Yuhuan in the painting, which even made Li Longji feel more beautiful than the real person, like a fairy in the painting.
Although Li Longji had heard about Bai Yuxian's painting skills in the past, he had never seen it with his own eyes, nor had he thought that Bai Yuxian's painting skills could actually reach this level.
Or to be more precise, Li Longji never thought that someone in this world could achieve such a level of painting skills.
