Chapter 675 Princess Anping’s painting skills are the best in the world!
When Gu Yichen slowly walked up to Shen Xia, his eyes naturally fell on the drawing board in front of Shen Xia.
In an instant, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, his pupils dilated, and his sight was fixed on the figure in the picture that had not yet been fully presented.
His gaze first lingered on the painting for a moment, and then quickly moved to the real Concubine Rong. After looking back and forth several times, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling of surprise in his heart.
Although the facial features of this painting are still unfinished, the similarity is already astonishing just from the existing outlines and postures.
What kind of superb painting skills are needed to be able to depict a person's appearance so vividly, lifelike and legendary?
Is this really something that a human could draw?
At this moment, Concubine Rong noticed that the emperor was staring at her intently, so she opened her red lips and gently reminded him, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
However, Gu Yichen seemed not to hear her words and was still immersed in his admiration for the painting.
His eyes fell back on the pair of delicate hands on the drawing, and he thought to himself: How can these hands be so agile? I am afraid that even the great painters of today cannot match their painting skills!
What is even more amazing is that the exquisite embroidery patterns on the brocade dress worn by Concubine Rong are also portrayed vividly on this drawing, as if they will come to life at any time.
Thinking of this, the corners of Gu Yichen's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, outlining a faint smile.
He finally turned his gaze back to Concubine Rong in front of him and said softly, "My beloved, I need you to be patient for a while longer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine Rong was stunned. She looked at the emperor with puzzled eyes, obviously not understanding what he meant by these words.
Could it be that Princess Anping really can paint? The eyes of the people behind her had already fallen on Shen Xia's hands.
Why isn't this hand mine?
This is just like the real person!
Why didn’t you look carefully just now!
Otherwise, maybe you can learn a thing or two!
Everyone had mixed feelings and all kinds of thoughts.
Song Ming raised the corner of his mouth slightly: Xia Xia shines wherever she goes, leaving everyone far behind.
Gu Yichen smiled and said, "I didn't expect that my cousin is not only an excellent doctor, but also a great painter!"
When His Majesty said "excellent", the people in the front two rows became curious. How good must the painting be to receive such an evaluation from the Emperor!
But they can't see what's on the drawing board.
And the queen in the high position was also surprised.
I got up and looked down.
After hearing the emperor's high praise, Shen Xia said modestly: "There is not enough time, otherwise I could have painted it more delicately, and these pigments are not good enough."
Because everyone started to pay attention to the content on the drawing board, the whole lobby was very quiet.
So everyone can hear what Shen Xia said. It is painted like this, but it is still not delicate enough. So what will it look like if given enough time?
Why did Shen Xia say that the time was longer?
Because this painting would definitely make her famous, but most people would definitely not dare to ask her to paint for them.
But there are inevitably people who value power above all else.
But if you talk about time a little longer, most people can’t sit still for that long.
Even if I saw that Shen Xia was a good painter, I would like to ask her to paint a portrait for me. But thinking about having to sit for so long and my health being in bad condition, I would probably give up.
The paintings at that time were all water-black paintings, and there were no realistic paintings like this. In fact, Shen Xia had seen real-life painting masters whose level of painting could even show the pores of human skin.
This is far inferior in comparison, but they have never seen a more realistic painting than this, so they think this is the most exquisite painting.
Shen Xia started to draw the jewelry on Concubine Rong's head at this time. She had only made a rough sketch before, and now after some more refinement, the dazzling luster of the jewelry could be seen on the paper.
Ever since Gu Yichen saw Shen Xia's paintings, he has been standing beside her.
Concubine Rong no longer dared to show her unhappy expression. Before, His Majesty could not see it, but now His Majesty was watching her from the side.
She could only keep smiling.
She felt like her mouth was about to freeze from smiling, but she didn't dare to say it.
It took Shen Xia another quarter of an hour to finish painting the jewelry on her head.
Finally, I started painting the face.
Gu Yichen was amazed when he saw the hairpin on Concubine Rong's head on the drawing showing a shining luster on the paper!
"Wonderful!"
Then he looked at the Grand Tutor and Prime Minister Du in front of him and said, "Grand Tutor, your painting skills are also quite good. Come and take a look at Anping's novel painting method."
The two looked at each other.
Get up.
In fact, the two of them were also surprised that His Majesty would be willing to stand by and watch any kind of painting.
Until the two of them walked behind Shen Xia.
Look at the person on the drawing, and then look at Concubine Rong.
The Grand Tutor watched Shen Xia paint bit by bit without blinking, and nodded: "Princess Anping's painting skills are the best in the world!"
Prime Minister Du was also surprised, as he had never seen such a painting method before. At that time, drawing a person only involved drawing the surface of the lines and then filling in the colors.
It is equivalent to flat painting.
It's totally different from her, she can draw something so three-dimensional and realistic.
Prime Minister Du praised: "Taifu is right. My painting skills are nothing compared to the princess's."
The Master nodded: "Yes!"
The Prime Minister laughed and said, "It may take many years of study to achieve this level of painting skills!"
Shen Xia replied, "If you have talent, you can learn it in a few years."
Although Shen Xia was talking, he did not stop moving his hands.
Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister said: "If we can train some people like this, we can directly use portraits for household registration certificates in the future, and there will be no more cases of impersonation."
Gu Yichen heard it and said, "My dear, what you said is very true."
Shen Xia did not answer because this was official business and had nothing to do with her.
Although she had nothing to do and teaching at the Expo Academy was fine to kill some time, she didn't want to be too busy.
Shen Xia saw the smile on Concubine Rong's lips droop.
Remind: "My queen, smile, it's the last critical moment."
When Concubine Rong saw the emperor looking at her, the corners of her mouth immediately curled up again.
But she didn't know how ugly her smile was.
It was so difficult.
Smiling is uglier than crying.
Shen Xia felt relieved and wondered if someone would ask her to perform her talent next time.
Shen Xia also knew that Concubine Rong had been sitting there for more than three hours. Shen Xia's goal was four hours, which was two hours. It was already very late at this time.
I'm afraid this was the longest banquet of all.
