Su Xian laid out the rice paper, picked a small paintbrush from the pen holder, and was about to dip it in ink to paint, but found that Li Youqing's ink had not been ground yet.
Come and try it quickly. 】
She stood at the side of the table, holding the long sleeve of the other hand with one hand. She had a bright wrist that looked like a jade carving, and she held an ink stick in her snow-white hand. The two formed a sharp contrast between black and white.
The slender little finger curled up with an orchid finger, and the ink ingot made a rustling sound when it rubbed against the inkstone.
Her expression was focused and meticulous, and her movements were a little unfamiliar. As a princess, she probably hadn't touched ink by herself for a long time.
Su Xian held the brush in his hand and watched her grinding the ink, gradually becoming distracted...
After a while, the rustling sound disappeared.
Li Youqing put the ink stick aside, took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, looked up at Su Xian and said, "The ink is ready, let's start painting quickly."
"good!"
Su Xian came to his senses, dipped his brush in ink, and drew a woman's slender neck and thin shoulders on the white rice paper.
Well, plus two delicate collarbones.
He was originally a student in Leshou County. Music, chess, calligraphy and painting were compulsory subjects. Although he was not a master in painting, he was actually quite good.
With just a few strokes, a woman's neck and shoulders were outlined, which looked very vivid.
Li Youqing walked to Su Xian's side, looked over, and couldn't help but nodded. He could see that Su Xian did have two brushes.
Then, Su Xian used thin lines to outline the woman's arms.
The tip of the pen turned, and just as he was about to draw the size of the key parts, Li Youqing beside him suddenly said: "Why don't you draw the head and face? It looks really awkward and not realistic at all!"
"You can also draw it."
Su Xian raised his eyes and glanced at Li Youqing beside him, focusing on her face and hair accessories, and then quickly put pen to paper to add a head to the woman in the painting.
Li Youqing was slightly surprised when she saw him looking at her, but then she realized that Su Xian was trying to draw her!
Just as he was about to stop him, he accidentally lowered his eyes and discovered that Su Xian had already drawn a rough outline, and that charming graceful and noble aura came out of the paper.
She suddenly felt very good and gave up the idea of stopping it.
Su Xian quickly sketched out her facial features and hair accessories one by one. Although it was not realistic, it was quite charming. Li Youqing became more and more satisfied as he looked at it, nodding frequently.
Soon, after finishing the painting of the head, Su Xian glanced sideways at her side.
But this time I aimed at the chest.
Then he quickly drew two half circles between the arms of the woman in the painting.
Finally done!
Su Xian put down his brush, breathed a long sigh of relief, turned to Li Youqing and said, as if asking for credit: "Your Highness, please look, this is a 'Ren' level bowl."
no respond.
Su Xian was puzzled and looked up, only to see Li Youqing glaring at him sideways, with something not quite right in her face and eyes. At the same time, a blush appeared on her fat face from unknown time, which was very pretty.
"Your Highness? What's wrong with Your Highness?" Su Xian asked.
"Oh, what's wrong..." Li Youqing gritted her silver teeth, looking like she wanted to eat Su Xian, pointed at the woman in the painting, and said:
"It's not realistic enough. Keep painting."
"Not real enough?" Su Xian wondered, but he picked up the brush again, but after looking around for a long time, he couldn't find any place to add a brush.
Suddenly, Su Xian suddenly realized.
He put down the black brush, took a new one from the pen holder, dipped it in the cinnabar inkstone nearby, and applied "lipstick" to the cherry mouth of the woman in the painting.
It should be perfect now... Su Xian still held the cinnabar pen in his hand and looked sideways at Li Youqing with confidence.
Li Youqing's face darkened, and she was a little angry. She couldn't help but act like a little girl. Instead of pointing out the problem directly, she shook her head and said:
"It's still not realistic enough. Keep painting."
"Not yet!"
Su Xian was in trouble now. Looking left and right, he really couldn't find the right place to write!
Feeling in a dilemma, he suddenly saw the two huge half-circles and suddenly realized it again.
He picked up the red cinnabar pen and used the pen tip to put a red dot on each of the two half circles at the correct position.
This is real enough, hey, I didn't expect that the princess would be so good at this. I really didn't expect it... Su Xian put down the cinnabar pen and looked back at Princess Lanling as if taking credit, waiting for her appreciation.
But--
As soon as he turned his head, he saw a small fist rapidly enlarging in his eyes.
boom!
"Ouch!"
Su Xian screamed, covered his face, took a step back, and sat directly on the chair.
Princess Lanling had never practiced martial arts and was a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken. Her punch actually didn't hurt, it was like scratching an itch.
It was just too sudden.
Su Xian was about to accept her compliments, but unexpectedly she punched him.
…
outside the window.
Qiu Dianjun was so excited that she kept covering her mouth tightly and complained crazily in her heart:
"The princess is so powerful and domineering that she even beats up the consort! She is indeed worthy of being my princess!"
"What did Su Wenyi draw? Why did the princess immediately lose her composure when she saw it? It must be something that can make people pierce their eyes! Humph, it should be beaten!"
"..."
In the study room.
Su Xian, who covered his face and fell back on the chair, felt very aggrieved that a majestic man was actually beaten by a woman... His mind immediately became hot, and his heart was filled with rage, and he stood up to fight back.
Damn it, it doesn’t matter whether you are a princess or not, if you dare to hit someone and hurt his face, then hit him back first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up, Li Youqing came up to him with a ashamed look on his face. While helping him up, he asked with concern: "Is there any injury? Is it painful? Do you want to ask the imperial doctor for treatment..."
"..."
Seeing this, Su Xian's anger instantly dissipated.
Looking back, the painting he just made was indeed... too boring.
"Thank you for your concern, princess. I'm fine, I'm sorry!" Su Xian waved his hand.
"It's okay." Li Youqing breathed a sigh of relief, then looked away from him and said:
"This is the first time that I have lost my temper and hit someone. Even when I encountered huge difficulties in the court before, I was able to endure it, but this time..."
"Princess please punish me."
Su Xian was ashamed. He could tell that he had indeed misunderstood Li Youqing's meaning just now. The truth she needed was not what Su Xian thought.
Li Youqing waved her hand, turned away, and stopped looking at the painting. This time she stopped going around the bush and said directly: "I want you to dress... her."
Su Xian sweated again and immediately sat down. He picked up the pen and splashed ink. After a while, he put down the pen and said, "Your Highness, the painting is done."
Li Youqing slowly turned around and looked down, only to see that the woman in the painting was indeed wearing a dress, and it was the same style of palace skirt as hers.
It's just that the woman's palace skirt in the painting is gauze.
Because the arms of the woman in the painting have been drawn in advance and cannot be erased, the palace skirt can only be painted with a translucent effect, otherwise it will be too fake.
There are also those two red dots. Su Xian drew many flower patterns on the palace skirt, both red and black, and incorporated those two red dots into it...
Li Youqing looked at it carefully for a long time. She always felt that the painting was too gorgeous, and the outline was even more evocative than before.
But she knew clearly that Su Xian's approach was correct and the only way. In the end, she had no choice but to nod: "Not bad!"
