You rascal, stop right there!

Big win art academy.

Bai Wan's leg injury has healed, so he went back according to the rules.

The people in the painting academy are still painting their own paintings, as if one more or one less would not make any difference.

He felt a chill run down his spine, and stared in a daze at the Twelve Zodiac Signs of Beautiful Concubines he was about to paint on his desk.

"Marquis Bai Zhi, why haven't you started writing yet?" Shen Shizhao's voice rang in his ears.

"Oh?" Bai Wan finally reacted and realized that he hadn't painted for the whole morning.

She lowered her head involuntarily, using her long black hair to cover her slightly tired face.

When Cheng Su and Cheng Zhiyuan saw him like this, they couldn't help but recall the miserable and helpless appearance of him four years ago.

Calm, strong to the point of numbness.

"Xiao Wan, since you have been admitted to the Painting Academy and become a court painter, you should remember your responsibilities." Cheng Su said to him.

"Responsibilities..." Bai Wan smiled bitterly.

He didn't feel anything when he was directly conferred the title that year, but this time after being admitted again, he has to pay more attention to this so-called responsibility.

Three days later.

The Emperor of Jiaxing stipulated that the Twelve Palaces of Concubines and Beauties painted by Bai Zhihou be delivered on schedule.

These twelve concubines are all very charming and beautiful, each with her own characteristics.

Although this painting is usually done by several painters together, because of the mysterious story of the miraculous painting saving a life, the empress dowager insisted on assigning him to paint it alone.

Anyway, Bai Wan felt that this was simply asking for trouble.

The costumes of the twelve concubines, from the empress to the royal concubine, and then to the imperial concubine and noble lady, must be perfect, and their faces cannot be too similar to be distinguishable.

When the exhibition began, all the paintings were opened together, and Emperor Jiaxing sat in the study and looked down at the paintings that the young eunuchs had hung up one by one.

The queen is dignified, the concubine is delicate...

Bai Wan stood aside stiffly, observing inside.

It would be better to paint his Zi Chen than to paint these beauties.

However, Emperor Jiaxing smiled quietly as he watched. He looked at Bai Wan, and seemed to remember the time when this man threatened him with a blood-stained robe.

This person is such a genius, and his temper is even weirder, just like someone described by the late emperor.

"Marquis Bai Zhi, your painting skills are really good. My beauties all have their own merits. So..."

so?

White Pea has an ominous premonition.

After this unjust imprisonment, he knew that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger, and that being a court painter was not as glamorous as it seemed.

If he were convicted again, he didn't want to be seen in public with bloodstained clothes.

"Marquis Bai Zhi, I have recently seen a new beauty who has haunted me. But I cannot be with her every day, so I want you to use your amazing painting skills to paint her so that I can relieve my longing for her in the future."

Bai Wan looked up: The emperor has a beauty who cannot be with him every day?

He didn't understand what was going on, so he just agreed and stayed.

at night.

Bai Wan saw a fuchsia sedan chair being carried in by a group of young eunuchs, approaching from afar with hurried steps, and it seemed as if there was someone behind the curtains.

He was a man with sharp eyes and immediately recognized that there was a woman in the sedan chair.

He was taken to the emperor's harem by Emperor Jiaxing. Under heavy guard, he took a quick glance and found a woman in gauze who was forcibly embraced by the king.

Now even a fool would know what the emperor asked him to paint.

People can't help but have a headache.

As the king of a country, he is so ridiculous.

They actually wanted to draw a picture of him doing that kind of thing with a woman. If it got out, it would be a disgrace to the country.

But this was an imperial decree, so he had to agree.

Eunuch Gu Xiaoyu ordered Bai Wan, "Marquis Bai Zhi will just need to look through the small hole in the middle of the screen and then draw it. Draw quietly and don't disturb His Majesty."

"Yes, sir." The man bowed deeply, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Although it’s not the first time I’ve drawn a secret play picture, it’s definitely the first time I’ve drawn it while looking at a real person.

This secret play picture is okay for men, but it is too humiliating for women.

That night, Emperor Jiaxing deliberately turned the screen towards the bed and opened the curtains.

His royal clothes were all taken off, and he was ambiguously hugging the beautiful woman in gauze, fiddling with her at will and enjoying the eroticism. It was obvious that this was not the first time he had done such a ridiculous thing.

Bai Wan stared at the scene behind the screen in amazement, holding his breath, pretending not to hear the sound, and continued painting honestly.

It was unknown how long it had been before the Emperor Jiaxing lazily let go of the beauty, lightly gathered his clothes and walked forward.

"Mr. Bai Zhihou, how is the painting?" he asked.

Bai Wan frowned and handed over the sample painting, tentatively: "This is... this is my first draft..."

Emperor Jiaxing took it with a sneer: "Sure enough, you are smart. When I saw your painting that day, I knew you were well versed in this."

amount……

Please don't make it so ambiguous.

Although he draws this kind of things, he never really does anything stupid.

Bai Wan saw that Jiaxing didn't seem to blame him and felt that his life was better now. But the next moment he was stunned.

The beautiful woman on the bed wrapped herself in the quilt with grievance, her dark eyes were filled with resentment, her pretty face was full of tear marks, and she gritted her teeth as if she was enduring something.

It is conceivable that she did not want to be favored by the king at all, and even less wanted to be painted in such an ugly state.

"This woman seems familiar..."

Bai Wan thought about it carefully and then he remembered that this person was actually the newly married wife of the Minister of Revenue.

This is ridiculous!

It turns out that Emperor Jiaxing coveted the minister's wife and did such a thing!

"Marquis Bai Zhi, you may go down now. You must complete this painting carefully and not be careless. I will summon you again next time." The majestic voice of the king fell.

Bai Wan couldn't bear to watch the scene before her. How could he continue painting when such an innocent woman was being humiliated like this?

He had no choice but to bow gently and kowtow, and pushed the wheelchair back to his official residence.

At this moment, the despairing look in his eyes when he was twelve years old seemed to be reappearing, looking at the bleak city through the darkness.

At that time he was painting dead people and couldn't save them, and now he is painting living people and still can't save them.

"The pen in your hand is harming people again!"

His left hand seemed to be restrained by something...

Did I take the exam to become a court painter just to paint things like this?

No one noticed that the people in the official building of the Painting Academy were painfully crumpling pieces of rice paper into balls and throwing them on the ground.

Sin!

He hates!

In the past, he could have painted secret scenes without any moral integrity in order to make money.

But now, having recalled the memory of Han Miaoran, he no longer wants to paint such things, especially paintings containing the blood and tears of innocent women.

Therefore, he actually destroyed the painting and stopped painting.

The eunuch who announced the decree went to the Painting Academy to urge them to do so.

But when I arrived at Daying Painting Academy, I found out that this Bai Zhihou had actually asked for leave and left the palace.

This frightened Emperor Jiaxing so much that he was extremely angry, but he was now reluctant to kill this genius, so he had to order the capture of the court painter Bai Zhihou first!
