Gu Chengyu knew that Zhu Pang and the others had doubts, but he did not explain.
The viburnums are all in large clusters, and the viburnums in the Princess's Mansion are particularly luxuriant, one after the other, layer upon layer, so it is very laborious to draw.
If you don't draw it well, it will look like a lump, all crowded together, and you won't be able to draw the shape of each flower.
It would be easier for Gu Chengyu to draw if he could observe it from a close distance. Unfortunately, he could only see it from a distance, not up close. Gu Chengyu could only rely on his own imagination, which was not easy.
Yao Mengxian glanced at the figure who was painting, and was worried about him. She didn't know if the painting she painted like this would satisfy the eldest princess and the princess.
The green waist dance was coming to an end, but Gu Chengyu was still painting Qionghua.
Zhu Pang was a little worried. Gu Chengyu was still painting Qionghua, and Princess Rongjia's dance was about to be finished. How could Gu Chengyu paint it then? We can't let people dance again, right?
"Your Highness! The princess is really talented and talented. This dance is very beautiful. I didn't expect that the princess is not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is also good at dancing. I heard that the princess is also a very good actress.
Your Highness is so lucky!"
Mrs. Zhao came up to the eldest princess and praised her repeatedly.
Ke on the side couldn't see Zhao being so flattering. After all, she was still an official's wife. To flatter her so much was really an eye-opener for her.
Yao Menglian looked at the graceful figure of the princess and couldn't help but squeeze the handkerchief tightly.
In fact, she is self-aware. She often says that she gets along well with the princess, but in fact it is just wishful thinking on her part.
She has a cold temperament and doesn't care about worldly things. It's just her appearance. In fact, she is more anxious than anyone else.
She is already fourteen this year and will get haircut next year, but her mother has not yet said yes to her. It’s not that her mother doesn’t want to, it’s that she herself doesn’t agree.
Because she didn't want to marry a legitimate son who was also a fourth- and fifth-rank official. She had lived a life of fine clothing and fine food since she was a child. How could she be willing to become the daughter-in-law of a low-ranking official in the future?
She became friends with the princess because she knew that the second young master of the eldest princess's house was not married yet. Otherwise, who could tolerate the princess's arrogant temperament?
Yao Menglian glanced at Yao Mengxian who was watching the dance, and couldn't help but envy her good life. As the legitimate daughter of the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion, her status was already much higher than that of her sisters in the mansion.
It's a pity that no one is perfect, her mother passed away young, and now her step-in-law is a sweet talker and a sharp sword. Yao Mengxian's temperament is also soft. Even if it has changed recently, how can she be more calculating than her eldest aunt?
Thinking of this, her initially envious heart suddenly regained its balance.
Yao Menglian thought about the noble young master who would come here today. She could not appoint him because her father had lost hope of promotion in recent years.
Her grandfather is also old, and he is afraid that the family will be separated soon. Once the family is separated, her status will become even worse than before.
Although the second young master of the Princess Mansion is not here today, there are also many noble young masters here, so she cannot miss this opportunity.
Yao Mengxian felt a little strange when she saw her second sister looking at her intently. Today, her second sister also seemed to be absent-minded, wondering what was on her mind.
In fact, she can also understand that Yao Menglian will be a girl next year, which is the age when she wants to get married. The girl's family is just worried about her own marriage!
The song ended! Princess Rongjia panted slightly and bowed to everyone, causing everyone to praise her.
Gu Chengyu's Qionghua is not very good at painting, but there is still a blank under the Qionghua tree.
Min Feng was sitting diagonally across from Gu Chengyu. When he saw Gu Chengyu still sketching the petals of the Qionghua, he couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart.
He couldn't deny that Gu Chengyu's poems were good. He had to admire his own fonts. But he didn't believe that he was also good at painting.
Let’s not talk about poetry, let’s take calligraphy as an example. This cannot be mastered overnight. How old is Gu Chengyu? He used to read sages’ books every day to take the imperial examination, and it is said that he also dabbled in other books.
Calligraphy must be practiced every day and should not be slacked off for a day. Could it be that Gu Chengyu is incapable of doing anything else?
Zhu Pang was a little anxious. The layout of this painting was not frustrating. But Gu Chengyu spent a lot of time on the petals of the viburnum. In his opinion, leaving a blank space in the center of the flower was a wise move. Gu Chengyu spent all his time on it.
On top of this, not to mention the trouble, the flowers are a bit more craftsmanship.
"Jin Yu! The princess has finished dancing." He couldn't help it anymore because he was afraid that Gu Chengyu would be embarrassed.
"Yes!" Gu Chengyu said to Zhu Pang after finishing the last stroke of Qionghua.
He knew Zhu Pang's concerns, but he had his own intention in painting this way.
Gu Chengyu closed his eyes and recalled the princess' dancing movements in his mind, and then carefully sketched them on rice paper.
Seeing that Gu Chengyu seemed confident, Zhu Pang had no choice but to shut up.
But when he saw that Gu Chengyu had used a few strokes to outline the figure of a woman, he couldn't help but admire that if Gu Chengyu was willing to put his heart into it, this painting would surely satisfy the eldest princess and the others.
Gu Chengyu was quite good at painting figures. He found the graceful and fairy-like figure not difficult, but what was difficult was the woman's eyebrows.
He had never seen the face of the princess, so he didn't know how to start.
Gu Chengyu painted very quickly this time. He slightly beautified the woman's clothes, making her appear more noble.
After all, most of the characters in ancient paintings are very abstract, and the painting n even beautifies the woman a bit, adding some of his own imagination into it. It is not out of the ordinary for him to paint like this.
Suddenly an idea occurred to him, "Have you met Princess Rongjia?" Gu Chengyu asked softly.
Zhu Pang was stunned by his question, and then immediately responded: "I have seen him once."
Zhu Pang thought that Gu Chengyu asked him to describe the appearance of the princess, which was better than he imagined.
"Do they look similar to Prince Qin?" Gu Chengyu thought that the two were brother and sister, and they might have some similarities. It would be better to have a reference than to speculate on their own, right?
Only now did Zhu Pang understand what Gu Chengyu meant. It turned out that he wanted to paint the painting after Qin Shizi, and he couldn't help but admire him.
Just as he was about to reply, a voice came from the side, "Princess Rongjia's features are very similar to those of Prince Qin."
Gu Chengyu didn't need to look back to know that it was Lu Chen.
He didn't look back and just focused on the painting. Since the two of them looked similar, it was easy to handle. The woman's eyebrows were softer than the man's.
Gu Chengyu glanced at Qin Min who was standing aside, focusing on his eyebrows, leaving Qin Min speechless for a while.
After a while, Gu Chengyu completed the character.
Lu Chen looked at Gu Chengyu's side profile and found that the character was very well drawn. Even if Gu Chengyu didn't see Rong Jia's appearance clearly, the eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as his own, and even the aloof temperament between the eyebrows and eyes was highlighted.
The woman in the painting is dancing under the Qionghua tree, her body is light as if she is going to ride the wind back, it is so lifelike.
The veil covers the woman's face, but through the smart and delicate eyebrows, people are even more curious about the woman's appearance, which is very fascinating.
