Ever since the emperor held a banquet for Mei Xichen and his wife that day, the emperor had been upset from time to time, and often expressed his feelings in front of Eunuch Wei.

"Looking back, you can smile and be charming, the pink and white in the Sixth Palace are colorless." It's so hard for me to be an emperor.

"Your Majesty, what has happened to you in the past month? Especially in the past few days, has the death of the imperial concubine made you feel lonely?" Eunuch Wei asked with great concern.

"Hey, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, but none of them can match her beautiful smile!"

The emperor walked up and down the hall as he spoke.

"Come here." The emperor waved his hand towards Eunuch Wei.

Eunuch Wei hurriedly approached the emperor and said, "Speak, I am listening."

"Eunuch Wei, what do you think of King Jingyang's princess?" the emperor asked.

"Ah, Your Majesty, you can't do this, Your Majesty..." Eunuch Wei quickly waved his hand to the Emperor.

"Hey, no wonder, Your Majesty, I tell you the truth, King Jingyang's princess is indeed a beauty, even Concubine Xue Guifei is inferior to her. If King Jingyang hadn't discovered it first, maybe your harem would have There is one more beauty.”

"It's just that it's too late to say anything now. Shangguan Qing is already a wife. Your Majesty, you'd better take her into consideration." Eunuch Wei quickly comforted the Emperor.

"I am the king of a country, how can I not even get the woman I like?" The emperor was angry and suddenly slapped the armrest of the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, calm down, this slave deserves to die." Eunuch Wei was immediately frightened and turned pale.

"Even if you die, you can't help me with my worries, so what use are you?" After saying that, the emperor turned around, his hands behind his back, and his back to Eunuch Wei.

"Your Majesty, how about this? I have an idea." Before Eunuch Wei finished speaking, the Emperor spoke eagerly: "Tell me, what can you do?"

"In the name of King Kang deceiving the emperor, you order him to secretly select beauties similar to Princess Jingyang from all over the country to enter the palace. If it is done, Concubine Xue's matter will be forgotten. If it is not done well, the two crimes will be punished at the same time. You What do you think?" Eunuch Wei said quickly.

"Okay, you have a good idea. Hurry, tell people to do it quickly." The emperor finally smiled and sat on the dragon chair, thinking about something blankly, and showed a sweet smile.

After Eunuch Wei received the emperor's order, he quickly found the portraitist and took him to the Jingyang Palace with him.

Butler Mei hurried to Mei Xichen's study to report.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor's Eunuch Wei has arrived, and is accompanied by a painter. He said he wants to paint a portrait of you and the Princess."

"Oh, is there anything else?" Mei Xichen asked strangely. Portraits certainly existed in ancient times, but it was unheard of for an emperor to paint ministers' portraits.

"Invite them in." Mei Xichen packed up the books on the table and prepared to welcome their arrival.

Eunuch Wei announced his purpose of coming and said that this was a special favor from the emperor. He said that he had contributed to eradicating monsters, so he specially invited a painter from the emperor's side to paint portraits of the prince and princess.

After what Eunuch Wei said with his eloquent words, Mei Xichen seemed not to notice anything wrong and readily accepted it.

Call Xu Mo and ask him to invite the princess over.

Although Shangguan Qing is a fox fairy, she is not always calculating. In addition, she knows nothing about the red tape in the palace, so she went without thinking.

When Shangguan Qing walked into the study, Mei Xichen was already sitting dignifiedly on the chair. Seeing Shangguan Qing arrive, a smile spread across her face.

"Princess, please take a seat." He said and introduced Shangguan Qing, and told Shangguan Qing again about their purpose of coming and Shangguan Qing.

Shangguan Qing nodded slightly. "Since it is a gift from the Emperor, let's get started."

When the painter saw Shangguan Qing's charming face, he couldn't stop admiring it.

Princess, I will try my best to display all my talents in this painting and record your peerless appearance. "

Shangguan Qing couldn't help but laugh when he saw the painter's exaggerated expression. Mei Xichen who was standing beside him naturally felt extremely proud.

The skills of the court painter are superb. With just one stick of incense, a lifelike portrait appeared on the paper. Mei Xichen and Shangguan Qing were seen sitting on chairs. Mei Xichen was young and handsome, with sharp edges and corners. Heroic and majestic between his brows and eyes.

Shangguan Qing has a smile on her face, she is gentle and charming, her eyes are full of charm, and she is as graceful as a fairy from the Moon Palace.

Eunuch Wei handed the portrait to Mei Xichen's hand, "My lord, look, you and the princess are such a perfect match. I really envy this old slave."

"The painting is good, what do you think of it, Qing'er?" Mei Xichen said to Shangguan Qing with a smile.

"Yes, I have a painter available." Shangguan Qing replied immediately.

"It's an honor for me to be able to paint the portraits of the prince and princess. How dare I go out of my way to do so?" the painter said politely.

"Now that we have finished what the emperor told us, it's time for the old servant to go back and resume his duties." Eunuch Wei gave a salute and led the painter out of the palace.

"Did you see the princess clearly just now? Draw another one just like she did before and give it to me." There was no one around, so Eunuch Wei turned to the painter beside him and said.

"Yes, Eunuch Wei," the painter said.

Eunuch Wei was cautious. He was afraid that Mei Xichen would be suspicious, so he simply left the painting with them. After all, it was a reward from the emperor, so he couldn't take it back to the palace. Since the painter had just painted it, So it is not difficult to draw a picture from memory.

When Eunuch Wei thought of this, a smile appeared on his face. After all, his work had been completed, and the rest was left to King Kang. If he couldn't find it, it was his own business.

At nightfall, while the emperor was still reviewing the memorials, Eunuch Wei walked in quietly.

"Your Majesty, I have already finished the matter you gave me yesterday. I brought it here for you to see."

"Okay, show it to me quickly." The emperor put down the pen in his hand, already losing his temper.

"This is the Emperor, please take a look." After saying this, Eunuch Wei unfolded the painting and looked at the Emperor with a smile.

"Oh," the emperor exclaimed in admiration: "The silhouette of a giant in the moonlight is suspected to be the fairy in the painting. The fairy in the painting wants to harm us."

"Quickly, go to Prince Kang's Mansion and ask him to find it quickly. Oh, by the way, I give him three months, no, one month to find someone with the same appearance as this painting. Go quickly."

"According to the order, Your Majesty, this servant will go to Prince Kang's Mansion overnight." After saying this, Eunuch Wei hurriedly ran towards Prince Kang's Mansion with the order to leave the palace.

When it was almost midnight when he arrived at the door of Prince Kang's Mansion, Eunuch Wei motioned to the young eunuch beside him to knock on the door.

"Who is it so late?" A servant opened the door.

As soon as he saw the people around the emperor, they immediately greeted him with smiles. "It's Eunuch Wei. Do you have something urgent to do with my prince at such a late hour?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Your Majesty has something urgent for you to do. Please let me in quickly." Eunuch Wei said as he rushed in.
