Fighting with fire shadow

Mrs. Mingzhu pointed at Princess Honglian and said in a soft voice: "Master Hou, this is Princess Honglian. She is the king's favorite princess. Master Hou must teach her well~"

Listening to Mrs. Mingzhu's introduction, Ximen Cheng's eyes naturally fell on Princess Honglian.

Compared to the future voluptuous and charming female killer "Chi Lian", the current Princess Honglian is just a twenty-eight-year-old girl, with the childish look between her eyebrows and a little baby fat on her cheeks.

Ximen Cheng looked at Princess Honglian and showed a kind smile: "I have heard from Ninth Young Master long ago that Princess Honglian is not only smart and cute, but also kind-hearted. When I saw her today, she truly lived up to her reputation."

"(*￣︶￣)"

When Princess Honglian heard this, she raised her chin happily, and then asked with some expectation: "You know my ninth brother, are you friends with him?"

"Ninth Young Master and I hit it off immediately and we had a great conversation."

"So you are Brother Ninth Brother's friend! Then we are one of our own. Can you tell my father and ask him to take his life back? Practicing calligraphy is really boring~"

After hearing this, Princess Honglian's favorable impression of Ximen Cheng increased even more, and the smile on her face became brighter.

"If the princess doesn't want to learn calligraphy, she can also learn other things from me. I know a little bit about music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

With Ximen Cheng's IQ, he naturally understood the real intention of Han Wangan in asking him to teach Princess Honglian, so it didn't really matter whether he taught calligraphy or not, as long as Ximen Cheng stayed with Princess Honglian.

"Um……"

Princess Honglian pouted and thought for a while, then blinked her big eyes: "Why don't you teach me how to draw? I'm better at drawing."

"Since the princess is good at painting, she must be proficient in ink painting. However, ink painting is more about expressing a kind of artistic conception. It is good for painting landscapes, but it is not suitable for painting people. Today I Then he taught the princess a painting method suitable for painting people."

Halfway through Ximen Cheng's words, he turned to Madam Mingzhu beside him and said, "Please ask Madam to prepare some wooden boards and charcoal for me. I will need these things for painting later."

Although Mrs. Mingzhu had some doubts in her heart, she still ordered the maids outside the palace to prepare wooden boards and charcoal for Ximen Cheng.

While the maids were preparing things, Ximen Cheng sat down on the chair next to Princess Honglian on the pretext of closing his eyes to rest.

"Rumble..."

After Ximen Cheng immersed himself in the system mall, he directly spent 100 taels of bounty to buy a "Painting" skill scroll, and then spent 450 taels of bounty to directly upgrade this skill to LV10. A torrent instantly appeared in his mind. A memory of painting.

After Ximen Cheng had sorted out the painting memories in his mind, it didn't take long for the palace maid to come in with some wooden boards and charcoal.

"Swish..."

Ximen Cheng first stared at Mrs. Mingzhu and looked her up and down, then directly picked up a piece of charcoal and started drawing quickly on the wooden board in front of him.

With the blessing of the full-level "Painting" skill, Ximen Cheng suddenly transformed into a master of painting. With just a few simple lines, he outlined the general outline of Mrs. Pearl's figure.

Although Mrs. Pearl and Princess Honglian can draw, this is the first time they have seen such a novel painting method as figure sketching.

Taking advantage of the difference in light and dark lines, an extremely charming picture of a beautiful woman appears vividly on the wooden board.

"Isn't this too realistic?"

Princess Honglian looked at the portrait of Madam Mingzhu on the wooden board and opened her mouth in disbelief.

Although the portrait of Mrs. Mingzhu on the wooden board was only drawn with simple black lines, it was very three-dimensional and lifelike, and even the charm in the corners of her eyes almost overflowed.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Hou's painting skills are so superb. I like this painting very much and will definitely keep it and treasure it."

Mrs. Mingzhu looked at the portrait on the wooden board, which was also full of splendor, and she became even more interested in Ximen Cheng.

Ximen Cheng looked modest: "Madam, you are so complimentary. If she wants to learn, I can also teach her how to draw."

"Then there is Lord Lao~"

"The painting method I am going to teach you is called sketching. It mainly uses the difference in light and darkness of the lines to reflect the outline of the painted scene, making it look more realistic..."

Princess Honglian really wanted to learn painting skills from Ximen Cheng. She listened to Ximen Cheng's explanation attentively and showed surprise from time to time.

Mrs. Mingzhu obviously didn't have much interest in painting. She was more interested in Ximen Cheng, especially the jade foot hidden under the table, which was even more dishonest and would scratch Ximen Cheng's thigh from time to time.

If it weren't for Princess Honglian's presence, Ximen Cheng would have really wanted to pin Madam Mingzhu, a fairy, to the ground and whip her severely.

"Princess is new to sketching now, so it's better to draw something simple first, let's start with this pearl necklace!"

After Ximen Cheng finished speaking, he took out a string of pure white pearl necklaces from his arms and placed it casually on the table: "First, observe the difference in light and darkness of this string of pearl necklaces in the sun, and view it from different angles. Paint them all again.

When you can draw this pearl necklace skillfully, we can move on to the next step of teaching. Then I will teach you how to draw some small animals. "

"Uh-huh!"

Princess Honglian nodded seriously, then took the wooden board and charcoal and began to stare at the pearl necklace in front of her, and began to paint meticulously.

"If Madam wants to learn to draw, she can also paint this string of pearls with the princess."

Mrs. Mingzhu glanced at Princess Honglian who was concentrating on painting, and blinked her beautiful eyes: "I won't disturb the princess from painting here. Why don't you follow me to the side hall and teach me how to practice calligraphy?" "

"Uh……"

I don't know if it was Ximen Cheng's illusion, but he always felt that Mrs. Mingzhu exuded a very dangerous aura at this time, as if Tang Sanzang had mistakenly entered the Pansi Cave.

"Alright."

But Ximen Cheng is also curious about what kind of medicine is sold in Mrs. Mingzhu’s gourd?Finally, he nodded and agreed.

"Master Hou, please come this way~"

Mrs. Mingzhu made an invitation gesture to Ximen Cheng, twisted Xiaoman's belt and led him towards the side hall next door.

"What does this smell like? It smells so good~"

As soon as Ximen Cheng walked into the side hall, a scent of fragrance hit his nostrils, which refreshed his spirit, and an inexplicable color flashed in his sword eyes.

"This is my newly prepared incense. It can refresh your mind. If the Marquis likes it, you can take some back later."

"Please wait a moment, Lord Marquis, I will go get the pen and ink right away."

After Mrs. Mingzhu finished speaking, she twisted her slender waist and walked slowly into the side room of the side hall.
