Mu Wanpu, the eldest son of Prince Ping, was a talented and handsome man who was as famous as Tao Chengqi.
But since Tao Chengqi's "Zhusheng" waistcoat was exposed and he started to work as an official and do serious things, he is no longer in the same school as him. Only Mu Wanpu is still good at winning in the "young and frivolous" and "romantic and unlucky" areas.
He does not dare to worry about the country and the people, he only dares to be romantic.
After the new emperor came to the throne, Yan Baiwei did not suppress the clan. After he ascended the throne, he restored his father's county throne and his crown prince's throne, and also let Prince Ping join the Ministry of Rites. Therefore, he has gradually stopped hiding his clumsiness recently and showed it.
Astonishing talent.
But Prince Ping was really afraid of being suppressed.
He was also young and frivolous, but once he became famous, he spent half his life in poverty. Therefore, even now that he has joined the Sixth Ministry and seen Prince Jing rise rapidly and wield great power, the most common words spoken by Prince Ping are still "Be cautious! Be cautious."
!”
Mu Wanpu sighed and closed the flower note book in his hand.
In his opinion, many of the poems in this album are of great craftsmanship, but he read poetry books in vain, and he is not even qualified to present poems. It is unique for the clans of all dynasties to have such a mix.
Someone came in from outside and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a young master named Tang who has made an appointment with you and is already waiting in the main hall." He paused and added: "He looks very impressive."
Your surname is Tang?
Although Mu Wanpu didn't remember who he had an appointment with, he rarely offended anyone, so he still changed his clothes and went there.
As soon as I entered, I saw a person leisurely looking at the nave on the wall with his hands behind his back.
Mu Wanpu said: "You are..."
As soon as Tang Shijin turned around, Mu Wanpu was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "I pay homage to the prince. The prince has come to visit. I am sincerely frightened."
"No need to be polite, please get up," Tang Shijin said with great interest: "Did your father draw this fish, or did you draw it?"
Mu Wanpu said anxiously: "This is the graffiti of a minister, and it cannot be considered elegant."
Tang Shijin said: "I think it's pretty good. It's better than other nine-fish pictures. It looks very rich at first glance. Can you draw one for me some other time? I want a big one. Isn't it convenient for you to go to my house and draw it for me?"
On the wall?”
Mu Wanpu could only say: "I obeyed the order, and I was flattered."
Tang Shijin said: "I asked you to get up, don't you feel uncomfortable talking like this?
Mu Wanpu had no choice but to thank him and stand up, while gradually losing his nervousness, he said, "I wonder what the prince's orders are when he comes here??"
Tang Shijin picked up a bowl on the table: "Look at this."
Mu Wanpu stood up and took it with both hands. He felt that the porcelain was smooth, delicate and very elegant.
He subconsciously wanted to praise him, but he thought it couldn't be that simple, so he took a closer look. As he turned, he suddenly saw something. His heart moved. When he looked at the light, he saw that there were hollows on the porcelain bowl.
The lotus leaf pattern is exquisite and clear, complementing the elegant blue and white pattern, and is extremely exquisite.
Mu Wanpu praised: "It's really a work of art!"
Tang Shijin said: "This is a new product from the imperial kiln, called Blue and White Exquisite. I heard that you know many young talents. Can you form a bureau and do something... It's best to make everything seem unintentional. In the end,
The purpose is to highlight this exquisite blue and white flower. How about it?"
Mu Wanpu's mind was racing.
He was a young genius, and he reacted very quickly, saying: "Prince Cai just said that he wanted Wan Pu to help paint a nave, why don't Wan Pu go and help the prince paint it now?"
Because her name is "Jin", she has always been fond of koi fish, but in the courtyard and small hall where she lives, there are always "Why the only way to relieve worries is to get rich" written by Tao Chengqi, and she feels that it is time to change to a more elegant one.
Yes.
She directly asked him to draw on the wall, and she wanted a big one.
Then she didn't have any paint here yet, so she went over to Tao Chengqi's place to get it.
Tao Chengqi was curious, so she followed him over to have a look.
Mu Wanpu is essentially similar to Momo Liulang. He has brocade in his belly and can do calligraphy and painting with just a raise of his hand.
Tang Shijin laughed at Tao Chengqi: "If you look at other people's paintings, they will make you feel very rich. Your paintings don't have this feeling."
Taocheng ignored her lazily, sitting and drinking tea, watching leisurely.
In fact, Mu Wanpu hung such paintings in his home mainly to show people that he had no intention of fighting for power and gain, but only wanted to be rich and content.
But it just suited her taste, so Mu Wanpu painted more money. In fact, he used more gold, the colors were full and bright, and the fish were very vivid, which naturally made him look... rich.
After the painting was completed, the whole house was filled with glory.
Tang Shijin was very satisfied and praised him again: "I didn't expect your painting to be so good! I think you are better than Liu and Bisigu's paintings! You can paint a smaller one for me another day, and I will ask someone to make a screen."
Mu Wanpu repeatedly said he did not dare.
Then a few people sat down to drink tea.
Tang Shijin's idea was that everything was an accident. Mu Wanpu got the blue and white exquisite by accident, and then caused trouble.
As a result, Mu Wanpu reacted quickly and made a fuss about "obtaining porcelain" and openly entered Prince Qing's palace. Tang Shijin personally invited him back.
In this way, everyone will be curious and will definitely ask about it afterwards, which will make it easier for him to do things later.
Although he definitely had selfish motives and wanted to use her power to convey an attitude to the outside world, that is to say, no matter whether Prince Ping's group can rise up or not, as long as they don't fall, it will make people feel that they have risen up.
But this is understandable and can be regarded as a kind of wisdom.
To be honest, this kind of Mu Wanpu is totally different from the one Tang Shijin met who criticized the Five Jue Scholars... It seems that being young and frivolous is just a mask.
When Mu Wanpu was young, he was as famous as Tao Chengqi, but because of their respective families, it was difficult for them to get along, so they were not friends and rarely sat together.
Because Tao Chengqi could not speak, Mu Wanpu paid great attention to it, but seeing that Tang Shijin was very at ease, he gradually relaxed a little and asked him: "Why Wanhua Jinci and Liulang didn't write a poem?"
Tao Chengqi wrote on the paper: "How could she let me go?"
Tang Shijin said: "I just let it go! I didn't record your poem!"
She opened her arms and said, "Everyone in this world is my intangible asset. They must be used in the most appropriate place to make more money and fill up my Daqing treasury!"
What is this called? This is called speaking the most honest words with the most profiteer face.
Mu Wanpu laughed out loud.
After laughing, I saw her bright pupils and beautiful eyes, and I always felt like she had seen her before.
He asked her thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, have I seen you somewhere?"
Tang Shijin felt guilty, and then said quickly, "I must have seen it before! How about you know me?"
Mu Wanpu was a little hesitant, always feeling that there was more to it than that, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head.
Momorokuro rolled his eyes and picked up the tea.
Mu Wanpu returned from dinner at Prince Qing's Mansion. Prince Ping was waiting for him in the study. When he opened the door and walked in, he was already very drunk, but he was in high spirits, like a pearl that had swept away the dust, revealing his gleaming splendor.
Prince Pingjun asked: "What does Prince Qing want from you?"
