Zhou Jingyi's face turned pale when she heard this, and she was about to cry. She thought that the position of honoring the princess was hers, but who would have thought that just because she said one more word, she would offend Princess Jiahe and say that she didn't
this opportunity.
She was about to open her mouth to defend herself when she heard a cry of surprise from around her. Mu Yun'an, who was dancing on the stage, suddenly picked up the ink on the table and splashed it on the huge rice paper.
Everyone was puzzled, staring at her movements and asking suspiciously: "What is she doing?"
A knowledgeable person explained: "This is called splash-ink painting, which is a type of painting that pays most attention to artistic conception."
After clearing the doubt, everyone watched attentively as Mu Yunan danced and painted on the stage. She just splashed the ink casually without using a pen. All she saw was a puddle of ink on the rice paper, but she couldn't tell what she was painting.
But as Mu Yun'an danced, the originally messy rice paper gradually took shape, and soon a landscape painting appeared in front of everyone.
However, what's even more amazing is that as soon as this picture came out, a butterfly actually flew over and landed on the paper, adding the most dazzling touch to this landscape picture.
"It's so amazing, the county master's splash-ink landscape painting even attracted butterflies."
Some people admired Mu Yun'an's superb skills and praised him generously.
Even Concubine Yan was impressed: "I didn't expect that the county master was actually a secretive person. He is good at dancing and good at painting landscapes. The key is to be able to fuse the two together. It is natural. If you ask me to say this
The leader today is none other than the county lord."
Many concubines and concubines nodded in agreement, but the eldest princess didn't think so: "But I think Princess Kang Le's cursive calligraphy is better. After all, this is a real and real skill, unlike the county master who is flashy and insubstantial."
Concubine Yan retorted with dissatisfaction: "The eldest princess must speak according to her conscience, why can the county master be so pompous and vain?
Princess Kang Le's calligraphy is good but not innovative, unlike the county magistrate who can think of using dance to combine ink to create this landscape painting. Who among the people present is so smart?"
The eldest princess was determined not to let Mu Yun'an win the title. She snorted coldly and said: "Since I have a disagreement with Concubine Yan, and if we continue to argue, there will be no results, then why not leave it to your Majesty to deal with it?"
?”
Concubine Yan naturally agreed: "Okay, let your Majesty decide who will be the leader of the Hundred Flowers today."
She got up and asked everyone to wait here, and then together with the eldest princess, she led the palace people to Qionglin Garden.
Inside Qionglin Garden.
When Yuan Hao heard that Concubine Yan and the eldest princess wanted to see them, he had them brought over. After they bowed, they explained their intention.
After hearing this, Yuan Hao couldn't help but feel curious: "Show me their works."
The palace people brought up Shen Wanyue's calligraphy and Mu Yun'an's paintings, and Yuan Hao stood up and walked over to look at them carefully.
Concubine Yan said: "One of these two works belongs to County Lord Huihe, and the other belongs to Princess Kangle. When the eldest princess and I came here, we decided not to say who made which work, but also asked Your Majesty to guess and choose.
The winning one."
This idea was brought up by the eldest princess. She was afraid that naming a certain work would be unfair to Shen Wanyue, and she was also afraid that His Majesty would be biased. Fortunately, Concubine Yan had no objection.
Yuan Hao didn't know who made the painting and who wrote the calligraphy, so he turned around and asked Xiao Chengyi's opinion: "Which one of these two paintings do you think is better?"
Xiao Chengyi naturally recognized Mu Yun'an's work at a glance, he said: "This cursive calligraphy is very good, it is hard to imagine that it was made by a girl.
Not to mention this splash-ink landscape painting. To know the ultimate artistic conception of this splash-ink painting, the person who can create this painting is also extraordinary. In my opinion, these two works are equally good and inferior, each has its own merits."
Yuan Hao laughed, feeling that Xiao Chengyi was so smooth that no one wanted to offend him. He asked Wang Zefang again: "What do you think?"
Wang Zefang said: "I also think both paintings are very good."
