You rascal, stop right there!

Shortly after.

Bai Wan's career in the painting academy began again.

He thought that he should be accompanying the emperor and his concubines to various luxurious palace banquets and cooperating with the painters who took notes, but he did not expect that the first problem would come so quickly.

Because the Princess Dianyang who came from Lingyu Kingdom a few days ago suddenly fainted.

The Princess of Dianyang had been losing weight due to excessive worry and lack of appetite for a long time. During every dinner, she often did not drink a drop of water.

And that day, the person fell ill and died.

Lingyu's Minister of Rites was furious and blamed all the blame on Daying.

But everyone knows that Princess Dianyang has been ill for a month.

Emperor Lingyu invited many famous doctors from all over the country, but none of them worked. It can even be said that if Lingyu couldn't cure the disease, how could it be considered their problem when Daying got sick?

Lin Shiqing from the Imperial Hospital was the most skilled doctor, but he also felt overwhelmed.

Princess Dianyang's illness was caused by the death of the Duke of Dianyang, all because of love.

Finally, the imperial physicians and officials came up with a solution, which was to ask the people from the Painting Academy to paint a lifelike portrait of the Duke of the Horse for the princess.

Use painting to cure illness and express longing.

----

Big win art academy.

Several people were walking hurriedly within the palace walls.

"I heard that Boss Cheng summoned us to the palace in the middle of the night. What's the matter?" Bai Wan, wearing a red official uniform, asked the people around him.

Cai Jiang, who had a silly and round face beside him, guessed, "Brother Bai, Princess Dianyang was seriously ill tonight, I'm afraid it's related to this."

At the gate of the Painting Academy, the eunuch Gu Xiaoyu, who was in charge of announcing the imperial decree, raised his sleeves flutteringly, making the scene very solemn in the night.

"Painting Academy, listen up, these are the maids of Princess Dianyang, they will describe the appearance of the Princess when he was alive. You all paint together and see who paints the most likeness and then hand it in!"

After saying this, two maids came forward and bowed quietly.

Eunuch Gu swept his sharp eyes over the painters in these art academies, hoping that someone would be able to draw it.

In fact, if the former painting saint Luo Wenqi was here, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble, and he could even ask the Minister of Rites Ling Shumo to paint as well.

However, one person may not be able to draw the best likeness in a short period of time, so he had to resort to this last resort. Collect hundreds of paintings and choose the one that will finally solve the princess's feelings.

"Father-in-law, the painting academy will definitely deliver it as soon as possible."

The imperial attendant Luo Qingbi and the direct court official Cheng Su saluted together.

Except for the supervisor of the academy, who has no real power, all painters in Daying Painting Academy are divided into four levels, namely, imperial attendant, art student, attendant marquis and apprentice who has just entered the academy.

Although it was a palace painting academy, it was actually under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites and His Majesty. In addition to painting for His Majesty and concubines on weekdays, there would also be sudden other painting orders like this.

Almost all the painters, except those who painted the screen for the Empress Dowager's birthday, participated in the painting of this portrait.

Cheng Su didn't know much about painting, so he could only stand aside and arrange painting materials and brushes and ink, watching these people standing in front of the table and listening to his maid's description.

……

"Our county lord is a general, with a heroic and extraordinary appearance..."

……

"He is handsome, a first-rate handsome man, ..."

……

"Yes! The nose should be higher! The eyes should be bigger..."

……

Everyone in the painting academy was too cautious to be careless and bent over to paint.

To put it nicely, Daying Art Academy is a palace art academy, but to put it bluntly, it is just the emperor's servants.

Cheng Su looked at the painters gathered around. They bent over from time to time and picked up their pens to fill in one or two paintings.

As more and more drawings were drawn, the two maids were talking until their mouths were dry.

"Marquis Bai Zhi, the folds of Lingyu's clothes are cloud-shaped, not flower-shaped." Shen Zhuyue reminded in a low voice.

Bai Wan was stunned for a moment: "Hey, I didn't know that. Shen Shizhao is really knowledgeable. Thank you!"

He then put pen to paper and began to revise it with just a few strokes.

When Eunuch Gu saw them whispering, he glared at them with his white eyebrows and phoenix eyes. Only then did Bai Wan mutter and shut up.

There is a saying among painters: "It doesn't matter what the painting looks like, as long as the other party is satisfied, it is a good painting."

Especially in the Palace Painting Academy, one can only save his life as long as His Majesty and the royal family are satisfied.

Then all the talent and thoughts are empty.

Unless you are a world-famous painter, for example, the three great painting saints.

On the one hand, Da Ying asked the Imperial Hospital to do its best to treat Princess Dianyang, and on the other hand, he asked all the painters in the painting academy to paint the portrait of the Duke Ma all night long.

More than 170 people from Daying Art Academy put all their efforts and tried every possible means to paint this picture.

It was the first time for almost everyone in the entire palace to see such a scene in the Painting Academy, which could be called a masterpiece.

I don’t know how long it has been…

The painting academy and others, who had not slept for a whole day and night, finally found the two portraits among the more than one hundred paintings that most resembled the husband of Princess Dianyang in the maid's mind.

One was painted by Bai Wan and the other was painted by Shen Zhuyue.

Eunuch Gu looked at the two paintings, each with its own merits, and for a moment he didn't know how to choose.

This painting, "The County Horse", is related to the princess's body and mind, and the alliance between the two countries.

"We feel that Shen Shizhao has been in the Painting Academy for longer, so why not use his painting?" He said to Cheng Su and Cheng Zhiyuan.

Shen Zhuyue said calmly, "I have been in the painting academy for so long that I have become stagnant. Bai Zhihou's paintings are more spiritual. Why not use his painting?"

"This..." Cheng Su, the director of Chengzhiyuan, couldn't help but look at the eunuch in charge.

Eunuch Gu hesitated for a moment, took another close look at the portrait in the man's hand, and suddenly nodded.

"Since Shen Shizhao has said so, let's give it a try. Your Majesty has previously admired the newly promoted Bai Zhihou, so this is a good opportunity to see what he is capable of."

Finally, he walked towards Yong'an Hall holding Bai Wan's "Picture of County Horses".

In the Yong'an Hall, a group of envoys were waiting outside the hall.

In particular, Emperor Jiaxing and Prime Minister Li Simeng looked even colder than ice as they stood there.

As Eunuch Gu brought the scroll into the hall, everyone watched the scene intently.

The maid spread out the scroll and showed it to Princess Dianyang, who was lying on the sickbed at the head of the bed.

The deeply hurt Princess Dianyang looked at the person in the painting, and her lips trembled slightly...

"Chengqing..." She started, her eyes blurry.

The gentle voice seemed to pass through the brush and ink and reach the ears of her late husband.

Princess Dianyang suddenly recalled that since she married this prince a year ago, they were in love and inseparable.

The eyebrows and eyes of the person in this painting are very similar to his...

Love...

"Cheng Qing--" She already felt comforted and warm in her heart.

At this moment.

She suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some blood at the corners of the man's mouth in the painting, and his chest was also stained red.

This bloody description reminded him that the county horse master had died in an accident a month ago, accidentally falling off a horse. The husband who drew her eyebrows every day and spoke sweet words to her every day was no longer with her...

The person is already dead...

Nothing left...

"puff--"

Princess Dianyang suddenly felt an unbearable pain in her heart and vomited blood.

The imperial physician Lin Shiqing immediately stepped forward to treat the princess, and suddenly discovered that the princess' illness was even more serious!

Shi Qingya, the Minister of Rites of Lingyu, was extremely angry. He immediately placed the sharp weapon in the hand of the sword-bearing guard in front of Bai Wan.

If it weren't for the consideration of dignity, he would probably have wanted to kill Bai Wan on the spot.

today.

Everyone saw that after Eunuch Gu handed over the "Portrait of the County Horse" to Marquis Bai Zhi, Princess Dianyang's already poor health became even worse!

Finished!

When Emperor Jiaxing saw this, he was stunned.

He immediately frowned: "Come here! Imprison Bai Zhihou in the prison department and execute him on a chosen day!!!"

The emperor was furious, and seeing the tragic scene in person, all the ministers were so shocked that they fell to their knees!

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"His Majesty!"

……

Is this the royal majesty?

Bai Wan was extremely shocked. He could still admire the title of Bai Zhihou just a few days ago, but within a few days he was executed without blinking an eye.

What he didn't know was that this emperor did like talented calligraphers and painters, but he was also moody and liked killing people.

In today's imperial court, as long as he wants, he can kill whoever he wants and punish whoever he wants. He can even put someone in jail today and release him tomorrow.

Bai Wan looked at the bloodstained painting and shouted, "This is not my painting. Someone has added something to it! I am innocent!!"

He came to Daying Art Academy and just encountered his first painting.

Unexpectedly, someone would swap the painting, which made the princess so sad that her condition worsened...

"I am so wronged!" he said angrily.

But in front of everyone, Princess Dianyang vomited blood after seeing the painting he presented...

This concerns the political affairs of the two countries.

If you draw well and solve this problem, you will become famous all over the world.

If the painting is not good, then people’s heads will fall off.

Then, he had to be handcuffed and taken away by several men with knives.
