"What's wrong? What's wrong with Pan Shiba?"

Seeing his father stuttering, Wu Haogu was a little anxious.

Now, the Northern Song Dynasty is short of medical treatment and medicine. A small problem can kill people. Although Pan Qiaolian has always been in good health, it seems that she has never been sick in Wu Haogu's memory. But she can't save her a big deal...

"Are you sick?" Wu Haogu asked.

"No, no." Looking at his son's anxious look, Wu Chengzhi sighed, "She is not sick, just..."

"What happened?" Wu Haogu felt even more anxious when he saw his father stuttering, and asked repeatedly, "You said that!"

Wu Chengzhi sighed again and said, "There is just a rumor, saying... His Highness Duan is likely to have fallen in love with Pan Shiba and want to marry her as a concubine!"

"What?" Wu Haogu blinked, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"His Royal Highness Duan may have a crush on Pan Shiba!"

"Impossible!" Wu Haogu shook his head quickly, "This is impossible... Dad, this is a rumor!"

Of course it is impossible! Wu Haogu has read "History of the Song Dynasty. The Annals of Huizong", and there is no surname among the five queens of Huizong of Song. Moreover, Huizong of Song, no, should be Duan Zhao Ji, who is not married yet. The one to marry should be the first queen Wang, who is the daughter of Wang Zao, the governor of Dezhou, and a descendant of Wang You, a minister of the founding state of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although "History of the Song Dynasty" was compiled by the Mongols and there are many errors and omissions, there will be no fraud on the question of who is the wife of Emperor Huizong of Song, right?

"Dalang..." Wu Chengzhi frowned when he saw his son, "Pan Shiba, who dressed in men, met King Duan at the Xiyuan Elegant Festival yesterday, and many people saw it with their own eyes. And... "

"And how deep?"

"And King Duan also splashed ink on the spot and drew a photo for Pan Shiba!"

"That's all?" Wu Haogu asked again.

"That's all." Wu Chengzhi replied.

Wu Haogu exhaled and smiled, "It's nothing big, it's just a painting... Most of the things that Dad takes on for the child are photos for the woman, right?"

Even in the Song Dynasty, it was not a strange thing for painters to draw photos for women, and they didn’t like it if they just drew a picture.

"this……"

Wu Chengzhi looked at his son, but he didn't know what to say?

If it were normal times, a painting would not mean anything. But when is it now? Now is the time when Prince Duan chose a concubine, and Pan Qiaolian is the daughter of Kaifeng general who is qualified to be a princess. Then it would be unusual for His Royal Highness Duan to paint for Pan Qiaolian.

They didn't even need to look at each other. As long as the empress dowager in the palace thought King Duan and Pan Qiaolian were good, they would...

...

The outer city of Kaifeng Prefecture, the west wing of the city, the newly built Duan Prince Mansion is magnificent, with halls, corridors, pavilions, staggered, ponds, lakes, and sparkling waves. The back garden is also planted with precious flowers and trees, pines and green bamboos.

His Highness, the King of Song Dynasty, who is only sixteen years old this year, has just finished a Cuju. He is blocking a curtain in the back garden and is still in the pavilion with a stove. He is naked and strong, allowing his beloved maid Chunlan to wipe his sweat away with a scarf.

The prince of the Song Dynasty seems to be completely different from his weak father and brothers, tall, healthy, strong, and loves sports. He not only likes Cuju, but also proficient in riding and shooting, especially riding on horseback. He is not like the prince of the Central Koreans at all, but likes a prairie boy.

But it would be a big mistake for anyone to think that His Highness Duan is only proficient in martial arts but not literary talent. His attainments in articles, calligraphy, poetry, painting, and music have all reached everyone's level.

Perhaps painting is not as good as Wu Haogu, Li Gonglin, articles and poems are not as good as Su Dongpo, music is slightly inferior to Liu Xian and Wu Liangfu, calligraphy may not be as good as the four masters (Su Huang and Mi Cai), and riding horses and archery is definitely not as good as those of the imperial guards.

However, it is amazing that others can master one of many talents, but this king is a versatile talent who is proficient in everything. Moreover, His Highness Duan is only sixteen years old this year. In another ten years, will his talents be firmly ranked first in the world?

If King Duan became an official, he would probably be the first emperor in ancient and modern times, right?

When Chunlan finished wiping the upper body for King Duan, she suddenly thought about the possibility that King Duan would become an official family. Oh, it was not possible, it was almost inevitable.

Because the sisters in the palace heard news that the officials worked hard for the war in the northwest these days, and at night they had to work hard for the inheritance of their descendants. Their body bones were getting worse day by day...

"King, Lord Liu asked for a meeting."

Just as King Duan was anxious to serve two palace maids, just put on his robes and hairpins, Gao Qiu, who had just accompanied him to Cuju, rang out of the pavilion.

Liu Youfang was Liu Youfang. Since he presented two "Photographs of Pan Qiaolian" (which were ancient paintings of Mi Youren and Wu Hao respectively) to King Duan, he has become a regular visitor to the Duan Palace and often sends some calligraphy, paintings and antiques from famous artists.

"Okay, let him go and Pin Yixuan to wait."

King Duan Zhao Ji gave an order, and walked out of the pavilion with Chunlan and walked towards Pin Yixuan, who was built in the back garden. Pin Yixuan is actually a three-story pavilion. The first and second floors are used to store literary and calligraphy and paintings collected by Zhao Ji, and the third floor is where Zhao Ji paints and practices calligraphy. On the wall to the west of Pin Yixuan, two "Photographs of Pan Qiaolian" were hung.

However, Pan Qiaolian in these two "Photo Photos of Pan Qiaolian" has completely different outfits and temperaments. One is a beautiful girl who seems to be meeting her lover, with deep love flowing out of her eyebrows and expressions. The other is a handsome and exquisite young man, wearing a moon-white Confucian uniform, with a Dongpo scarf on his head, and holding a closed folding fan in his hand, looking elegant and graceful.

The two "Photos of Pan Qiaolian" are both fine works with both form and spirit. The two paintings have exquisite and realistic facial features, vivid and natural expressions, coordinated body proportions, elegant and elegant clothes, and bright and bright colors. If there is anything wrong with Zhao Ji's works, it is that Pan Qiaolian's details such as hands, hair and pupils are not well handled.

However, just copying "Photo of Pan Qiaolian" and "Drunk Arhat Pictures" can improve the painting skills to this level. Zhao Ji's painting talent is indeed shocking.

"How? Can this "Photo of Pan Qiaolian" by Gu Wang compare with Wu Haogu's?"

Hearing the sound of pushing the door and the script, Zhao Ji, who was holding his arms and looking at the painting, did not look back and asked.

The visitors were Gao Qiu and Liu Youfang.

"Yes," Liu Youfang answered the question, "The fine part is still a little worse, but as long as the king can copy more ancient paintings of Wu Hao, he will definitely surpass him."

Gao Qiu, who was beside him, couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

Liu Youfang said it well. With the talent of King Duan Zhao Ji, if you want to reach the level of Wu Haogu's "Photo of Pan Qiaolian" you have, you don't need to be a disciple at all, just copy it more.

"King, the Queen Mother asked Lao Nu to bring you another ancient painting of Wu Hao."

As he spoke, Liu Youfang gently unfolded a picture of "Vishaman Heavenly Map" on the desk behind Duan King Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji turned around, glanced at the painting on the desk, and smiled and said, "It's a good painting, but it's not as good as the "Photo of Pan Qiaolian."

The ancient paintings of Wu Hao, Pan Qiaolian, are devoted to true feelings, and are naturally the best among the best. The "Vishaman Heavenly Tu" is painted casually and is used at will.

"This painting is placed here first," Zhao Ji said, "When I copy a few books... By the way, can Wu Haogu return to Kaifeng Prefecture?"

"I'm back," said Liu Youfang, "I'm back yesterday."
