Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 252 The Queen's Praise

The next day, Zhang Qingfeng was brought into the palace again by a eunuch, and then came to the harem.

Zhang Qingfeng thought it was Zhao Kuo who wanted to see him today, but what he didn't expect was that the person who wanted to see him was a 40-year-old woman.

This woman is Zhao Kuo's imperial concubine, who will be the future Queen Mother Yang Guizhi.

At this time, Zhao Kuo was not in the harem, but in the early court.

Going up early, it was hard to finish the matter, and all the officials were ready to go down.

At this time, Zhao Kuo did not announce his next court, but asked an eunuch to bring two paintings that had already been mounted.

"Dear dears, I got two paintings in the past two days, and I want to let all the loved ones help you taste them." Zhao Kuochao said to all the civil and military ministers.

Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, many people secretly groaned in their hearts. At this time of the court, many people standing in the main hall were a little tired.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuo would leave them to taste some paintings, which made people uncomfortable.

However, since the emperor had spoken, everyone could only stay and look at Zhao Kuo's paintings.

Next, Zhao Kuo ordered several eunuchs to open the painting, and then the two of them took a painting to the bottom and showed it to all the ministers.

The first painting is Zhang Qingfeng's painting of the border on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

On the painting, Zhao Kuo also personally inscribed on it, called "Dragon Midnight Banquet Picture".

When everyone saw this painting for the first time, they couldn't take their eyes off for an instant.

Zhao Kuo could clearly see that many ministers opened their mouths in surprise after seeing the painting.

"This, this, this, this..."

Many people can't describe their feelings at this time.

Almost everyone leaned towards the painting at the same time, wanting to take a closer look at the painting.

"this is me."

"This is Brother Han."

"This is Mr. Fang Weng..."

Soon, everyone recognized familiar faces in the painting.

Next, the second painting was also taken down.

Then I saw that countless court ministers surrounded the two paintings tightly.

From time to time, exclamations came from the crowd.

Zhao Kuo was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

"Officials, is this Yang Sanlang's painting?" After a while, someone asked Zhao Kuo.

"Exactly, this is the painting that Yang Sanlang took several days to draw." Zhao Kuo nodded and said.

"It took only a few days to paint like this? That's too fast!" Someone exclaimed.

The facts do not allow them to doubt that the characters in the painting are all people who had dinner with the official Zhao Gou in the palace on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

It is only a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, so it can be seen that this painting was really drawn in these few days.

"Officials, I wonder if this painting can be parted?" An old minister boldly asked Emperor Zhao Kuo.

Courtiers who dared to ask the emperor for things like this were probably only in the Song Dynasty.

"That's not acceptable. I spent hundreds of gold to exchange it with Yang Sanlang. If you want to go find Yang Sanlang's painting yourself." Zhao Kuo refused.

in the harem.

At this time, Zhang Qingfeng was painting for Yang Guizhi.

Yang Guizhi is 40 years old today, although he doesn't look very old, but Zhang Qingfeng dare not paint it realistically.

He adopted the beautification painting method of later generations to vividly paint the 40-year-old Yang Guizhi into a beautiful woman in her twenties and thirties.

When Yang Guizhi saw Zhang Qingfeng's painting, let alone how satisfied he was.

"Imperial concubine, are you satisfied with this painting?" Zhang Qingfeng asked Yang Guizhi.

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Yang Guizhi nodded with a smile.

"Yang Sanlang, where did you learn this painting skill?" Yang Guizhi asked Zhang Qingfeng.

"Returning to the noble concubine, the minister's painting skills are all figuring out by himself." Zhang Qingfeng said. "I have a photographic memory, and I can easily learn something."

"Then you are really a genius." Yang Guizhi praised Zhang Qingfeng enviously, and then she asked, "I don't know if you can teach me this painting skill?"

"If the imperial concubine wants to learn, I will naturally teach you all."

Next, Zhang Qingfeng told Yang Guizhi some realistic painting techniques.

However, it is obviously impossible to learn this painting skill in a day or two.

Therefore, Zhang Qingfeng decided to teach her from sketching.

Under Zhang Qingfeng's patient explanation and teaching, although Yang Guizhi has some foundations in painting, he can only start by drawing geometric figures at the beginning.

"Hahahaha!"

When Zhang Qingfeng was about to teach Yang Guizhi how to paint, a burst of hearty laughter came to everyone's ears.

Soon, even Zhao Zhan, who was wearing a red crown uniform, stepped in. Judging from his complexion, he was very happy at this time.

"I've seen the officials." Seeing Zhao Kuo coming, everyone in the hall saluted him.

"You all step back, Yang Sanlang and I have something to say." Zhao Kuo said to a group of eunuchs and maids in the palace.

Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, the eunuchs and maids in the palace quickly bowed and retreated.

"Why are the officials so happy?" Yang Guizhi asked Zhao Kuo.

"Hahaha, it's not the two paintings of Yang Sanlang, you don't know, the eyeballs of the ministers are going to pop out when they see Yang Sanlang's paintings." Zhao Kuo said happily.

"Puff!" Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Yang Guizhi burst out laughing.

She said: "Then it must be Yang Sanlang's painting that opened their eyes?"

"That's right, someone asked me for the picture of the Midnight Banquet, but I refused."

"Yang Sanlang, go to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow to get the official uniform seal, and then you will be the Hanlin of the Academy of Painting." Zhao Kuo said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"Thank you for the reward from the official family." Zhang Qingfeng quickly thanked.

"Concubine Yang, is this the painting that Yang Sanlang drew for you? It looks like you are ten years younger."

At this time, Zhao Kuo turned his attention to Zhang Qingfeng's painting for Yang Guizhi.

In the presence of outsiders, he called Yang Guizhi Concubine Yang, and in private he always called her a lady.

"The official family is all Yang Sanlang's good painting skills, and he painted the slave family young." Yang Guizhi said to Zhao Kuo with a smile.

In front of Zhang Qingfeng, an outsider, she also called Zhao Kuo an official, and privately called her husband.

"Yang Sanlang's paintings are good, so he should be rewarded heavily. What does Concubine Yang think should be rewarded?" Zhao Kuo asked Yang Guizhi.

"Officials, I want Yang Sanlang to teach me painting skills, why don't you give Yang Sanlang a token to enter the palace, so that it will be easier for Yang Sanlang to enter and exit the palace." Yang Guizhi said to Zhao Kuo.

"Okay, then give Yang Sanlang a token to enter the palace." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

The palace entry token is the certificate for personnel to enter and exit the palace gate.

On the token, the information of the holder will be marked, what is the name, what does it do, and so on.

It doesn't mean that you can enter and leave the palace door at will with the token of entering the palace, even if you have the token of entering the palace, you will be strictly inspected by the guards.

After entering the palace, you can't run around. Only after the eunuch pass the pass, the eunuch will personally take you to see the emperor or other people you want to see.

"Official, I want to ask the official to agree to something." At this time, Zhang Qingfeng spoke.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Kuo asked Zhang Qingfeng.

"I want to see all the books stored in the palace." Zhang Qingfeng said.

PS: I recommend a book, I read it in one go today. "My Giant Girlfriend" feels pretty good, and I recommend it to everyone.
