Chapter 673 Anping, let everyone open their eyes...
But her daughter's clothes were dirty. If His Majesty saw this, she would be embarrassed in front of the palace, so she asked Hua Yi to accompany Zi Yan to change them so that they would have company.
I didn’t expect that she would just tell Zi Yan not to change it.
To be honest, in this situation, it is best not to change it if possible. It is better to have less trouble than more.
This is the palace, and there are other people everywhere, so it's easy to be plotted against.
In the past, she just thought that she was uncultured and disrespectful to superiors, but now it seems that she is cautious in her actions.
Princess Rui was a little confused. Could it be that her previous thoughts were wrong after all?
His eyes dimmed involuntarily.
Shen Xia watched the little palace maid leave.
Shen Xia came back to his senses.
The words she hinted at just now, the panic that flashed through the little maid's heart, and the fleeting glance upwards, all of which were not missed by Shen Xia's eyes.
It seems that the Duke's Mansion is jealous.
Come to think of it, after the two divorced, there was a huge difference in their marriages, and the ugliness of human nature was revealed.
Shen Xia took a look and didn't see Pei Yuanqi. He thought she was too embarrassed to come out!
After the dance ended, Shen Xia watched the queen reward everyone.
Seeing that no one wants to perform anymore, we move on to the next part.
As a result, Concubine Rong smiled and said, "Sister Queen, wait a moment."
The Queen turned around and looked at Concubine Rong with a pleasant expression: "Sister Rong, what else?"
Concubine Rong glanced at Shen Xia.
At this time, Shen Xia didn't pay any attention to the above at all, and was still thinking about his own problems!
I only heard Concubine Rong smiled and said, "I heard that Princess Anping is also multi-talented. How about letting Princess Anping show off a few talents to open everyone's eyes?"
The queen looked at Shen Xia.
At this time, Shen Xia heard his name and came back to his senses and looked up.
Looking at Concubine Rong’s very friendly smile.
If she didn't know in her heart that she had offended Madam Qin, she would probably have been deceived by this gentle smile!
Shen Xia glanced at Mrs. Qin beside her, only to see her looking ahead calmly, as if all this had nothing to do with her.
Because Concubine Rong mentioned Shen Xia, everyone in the hall turned their eyes to Shen Xia.
The Queen hesitated after listening to Concubine Rong's suggestion. In fact, she knew that Princess Anping was an excellent doctor, but she thought that this talent had to be cultivated from an early age. She heard that Princess Anping grew up in the countryside, so how could she have any talent?
This Imperial Concubine Rong is really going too far. I heard before that Madam Qin suffered a setback at the hands of Princess Anping.
This is to help Mrs. Qin vent her anger!
Want to embarrass Princess Anping.
The Queen hesitated.
As a result, Concubine Gong looked at Shen Xia and said, "What do you think, Princess Anping? So many young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families have performed, is it your turn now?"
Shen Xia looked at Gu Yichen above with an ignorant look on his face: "Your Majesty, is this performance a turn-based one?"
Gu Yichen smiled and said, "Of course not, everyone is free."
Shen Xia looked like she knew something and said, "Oh, are any of the noble young men and young ladies who performed just now married?"
Gu Yichen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "They are all unmarried people."
"Oh, then why would someone like Anping, who's already married, want to join in the fun?"
Shen Xia snorted in her heart, other people perform for fame and fortune, or for a good marriage, but she is already married, she doesn't need any of that.
When Shen Xia said this, Concubine Rong's face froze. Isn't this slapping herself in the face in front of everyone?
Concubine Rong looked at Gu Yichen with a somewhat aggrieved look on her face and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Anping is multi-talented, so I just wanted to see her for myself."
Gu Yichen looked at the grievance on Concubine Rong's face with a look of fondness in his eyes.
After hesitating for a while, he looked at Shen Xia.
When Shen Xia saw Gu Yichen's expression, she knew that this dog emperor would lose his principles for his beloved concubine.
Gu Yichen smiled at Shen Xia and said, "Anping, let's open everyone's eyes..."
The Queen frowned. Your Majesty is really......
I don't know how to describe him.
Shen Xia originally wanted to do it casually, but ended up seeing the smug look on Concubine Rong's face.
snort........
You asked for it.
Shen Xia bowed respectfully to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Anping has always been good at depicting people, but this performance will take a long time, and I'm afraid that everyone present will not be able to wait for a long time."
After hearing this, Gu Yichen nodded slightly and thought to himself that it was indeed as Shen Xia said, painting requires a lot of time and energy.
So he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Concubine Rong beside him, wanting to hear her opinion.
Concubine Rong smiled and replied softly, "It's okay. A truly outstanding work is worth our patience."
These words were like putting Shen Xia on a raging fire.
Because if the final painting fails to satisfy him, he will become the target of public criticism and suffer countless ridicules.
At this moment, Concubine Rong was secretly delighted.
For her, painting is the talent she is least good at and the skill she is least able to show off.
You should know that among the civil and military officials present, at least half of them have very good painting skills.
She could almost imagine the terrible situation that might arise in the end.
By then, her arrogant face will be humiliated.
Those who were familiar with Shen Xia also began to worry for her at this time. After all, painting skills cannot be mastered in a short period of time.
What's more, the evaluation of a painting often varies from person to person, as different people have their own unique aesthetic standards and preferences.
Even for the same work, some people may praise it for its exquisiteness while others may be dismissive of it. It is really difficult to make an accurate and objective judgment.
Only Song Ming on the opposite side was not worried, because he had seen the rendering of the Song residence drawn by Shen Xia that year, and it was very lifelike.
Tu Chenyuan next to him was also worried.
Shen Xia nodded slightly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a knowing smile: "The Imperial Concubine values Anping's talent so much, which really makes Anping flattered. And in Anping's opinion, only the Imperial Concubine's stunning beauty can inspire Anping to show his most superb talents!"
After that, she turned her lively eyes to Gu Yichen beside her and said softly, "Your Majesty, Anping is only good at figure painting. Can Anping paint a portrait for the imperial concubine?"
When Concubine Rong heard this, she was stunned at first, but then she reacted and thought that it was just a reference for painting and should be no big deal.
Moreover, character portraits are much more difficult than depicting flowers and scenery.
Gu Yichen did not ask Concubine Rong for her opinion. He just stared at her for a moment, then nodded without hesitation and agreed to Shen Xia's request.
Seeing this, Shen Xia couldn't help but be delighted. She quickly bowed and said in a sweet voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission, and thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."
