Chapter 674: Injury 1 to the enemy and 5 losses to yourself

At this time, Concubine Rong also smiled slightly and responded: "I am fortunate enough to witness Princess Anping's superb talent. Even if I am a 'specimen' for once, what's the harm?"

I have to say, she was happy when Shen Xia said she was pretty. After all, no one doesn't like to be praised for their good looks.

But in Shen Xia's heart, she was sneering secretly. She looked at Concubine Rong's smiling face which seemed genuine but was extremely hypocritical, and thought secretly: Humph, just laugh as much as you want, and see how long you can be proud!

I hope you can still laugh later.

It has to be said that Concubine Rong is indeed the most beautiful among the concubines, while the Queen has a gentle and dignified appearance.

So it’s no wonder that Concubine Rong is more favored.

Concubine Rong smiled and said, "What does Anping need me to do?"

Shen Xia smiled and said, "Your Majesty, just sit quietly on the stool."

Concubine Rong nodded: "Okay."

Soon, palace servants brought over a few stools and chairs. Shen Xia took a look and chose a stool with the most uncomfortable height and no cushion for Concubine Rong to sit on.

Yes, it’s a stool, not a chair.

The palace servant quickly brought over the easel and paints, as well as all the paintbrushes, but there were only three sizes.

Shen Xia thought, luckily she had space for it, so she took it out of her small bag.

Just wash it clean after use.

When Shen Xia took out various complicated paintbrushes from her bag in front of everyone, everyone was surprised.

this........

Who would carry a paintbrush with them?

Everyone couldn't help but wonder if she really could draw!

In fact, some people were guessing that Shen Xia couldn't paint at all, and she asked to paint Concubine Rong, probably to play a trick on her.

In addition, she has the support of the eldest princess and is the emperor's cousin, so no one will say anything even if the painting is not good.

When everything was ready, Shen Xia started painting in the middle.

First use a pen to draw a vertical comparison in front of your eyes, facing Concubine Rong, and determine the proportions first.

And her behavior makes people even more curious. How can one draw by just moving the pen back and forth in front of his eyes?

Shen Xia ignored everyone's curiosity.

Of course, others are still chatting with each other.

Shen Xia's paper was colorful and blurry. Because the drawing board was placed in the middle, both the man and the woman could see the results on the drawing board.

It’s just that because the first one or two rows are too close, they are behind the drawing board, so they can’t see what’s going on on the drawing board.

Everyone was still chatting and laughing with the ministers, and Shen Xia was quietly painting in the middle, not caring about other people's eyes at all, but an hour passed quickly.

Concubine Rong's smile gradually faded. After sitting on a hard stool for two hours, she felt her butt was about to go numb.

His face became darker and darker.

At this moment she realized that this damn girl must have done this to her on purpose!

Her waist is about to break.

"Princess Anping, it's probably been an hour already! Is it time to finish the painting?"

Concubine Rong's voice was not small, so those who were still chatting started looking at Shen Xia's drawing board.

Of course, some people had noticed the changes on the drawing board a long time ago. They didn't know when the originally blurry and colorful things on the drawing board became what they are now.

Shen Xia has already drawn the rough outline.

Only the facial features have not been painted yet, and they are intentionally left to the end.

Everyone looked at the gorgeous brocade of Concubine Rong on paper and was able to draw something exactly the same.

Both the men and women were surprised.

Shen Xia looked at Concubine Rong and said, "My Lady Concubine, good things have to wait. Don't worry, you will definitely be satisfied after I finish the painting."

After saying this, Shen Xia ignored everyone else and continued painting.

Then another half hour passed.

The brocade clothes, which originally looked exactly the same to everyone, were made even more lifelike by Shen Xia.

The people who were originally chatting stopped talking altogether and just watched Shen Xia paint quietly.

Some people even felt that sitting was not nice and started standing up.

Concubine Rong's face was a little gloomy, but her back was facing Gu Yichen, so His Majesty and the others couldn't see it.

But Mrs. Qin, who was standing next to her, could sense that her daughter was almost unable to bear it.

But from her position she couldn't see how Shen Xia was painting.

I saw that she was painting very carefully, but she kept changing pens.

She had never seen so many different sized brushes for painting.

Madam Qin couldn't help but ask, "Princess Anping, can you paint? I've never seen a painter who can paint for so long."

When Mrs. Qin ridiculed Shen Xia for not being able to paint, those who had seen her results looked at her in surprise.

I thought to myself: If this person can’t even draw, then who can draw?

Shen Xia smiled and said, "Is it possible that Madam Qin has little experience?"

Mrs. Qin choked: "You............"

Then he continued: "You are not deliberately dragging it out because you have hostility towards me!"

Shen Xia looked at Madam Qin with a puzzled look on her face: "Madam Qin, what are you saying in anger? How can there be hostility between Madam Qin and I, who just met by chance? Besides, it was the Imperial Concubine who asked me to show my talent!"

After saying that, he looked at the Imperial Concubine again and said, "My Lady, you have to help me explain this to Madam Qin."

Concubine Rong clenched her teeth and said comfortingly, "If Anping can't draw, don't force yourself. After all, that's the environment you grew up in, so it's normal that you can't draw."

The emperor upstairs also felt that time was taking a while, but seeing that many people below had stood up to watch Anping paint, he walked down the stairs step by step.

Concubine Rong watched His Majesty walk down and quickly said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty..."

Before she could finish her words, Shen Xia interrupted her and said, "Your Majesty, you can't move! We can't fail at this critical moment!"

The queen above was watching all this. Although she didn't know whether Shen Xia could paint, she knew from the situation that Concubine Rong had hit the door this time.

We've been sitting here for an hour and a half!

I'm afraid they'll all have to be cut off!

Looking at Concubine Rong who usually goes against me in various ways, I can't help but feel relieved.

When Gu Yichen saw Concubine Rong’s aggrieved look, he thought to himself, let it go!

After such a long time, I am afraid people can’t sit still any longer.

But looking at Shen Xia's serious expression, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Just bear with me for a while and I'll help you see how far you've come in your painting."

When Concubine Rong heard this, she could only nod with a sad look in her eyes: "Okay!"

Gu Yichen slowly walked towards Shen Xia.

Shen Xia was actually very tired, but she was constantly moving, so no matter how tired she was, she was not as uncomfortable as Concubine Rong. This behavior was almost like hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by five hundred.
