Quick Wear: Love still depends on two love brains

Chapter 257: Princess vs. Oiran 21

Hua Shi lowered his eyes and walked out slowly, his steps were light but firm.

"My name is Jing Huai, from the Qinghe Jing clan, and I would like to paint a picture for Your Highness."

The sound is clear and melodious, like a breeze blowing through a bamboo forest, with a unique charm, or like a gurgling stream in the mountains, clear and moving.

"Well, since Jing Huai is good at painting, then draw a picture for me."

Quan Jiuxi raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.

The smile was like the warm spring sun, bright and warm, instantly illuminating the entire palace.

Everyone was surprised to see this scene.

You know, this is the first time that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has made such a request to others.

For a moment, everyone was whispering to each other, discussing, "Who is this Jing Huai? How could he be so favored by His Highness?"

Voices of suspicion and curiosity rose and fell in the hall, and the atmosphere became subtle.

Hua Shi paused slightly, seemingly affected by the sudden discussion, but he quickly adjusted himself and replied, "Yes."

The palace maid took out the brush and ink with swift movements. The fine rice paper exuded a faint fragrance, the exquisite brush had a full tip, and the ink in the inkstone exuded a rich aroma.

Quan Jiuxi asked curiously, "What posture do I need?"

"Your Highness, please feel free to do as you please." Hua Shi sat in front of the drawing paper and nodded.

He looked focused and serious, his eyes fixed on the drawing paper, as if he had already conceived the picture in his mind.

Quan Jiuxi nodded, thought for a moment, and sat down casually in his seat.

Hua Shi raised his eyes to glance at Quan Jiuxi, only to see her fluttering clothes and extraordinary temperament. Then he lowered his head, lightly dipped the brush in his hand into ink, and began to sketch on the paper.

His brushstrokes are light and agile, and each stroke is full of power and emotion.

As time passed, the outline of Quan Jiuxi gradually emerged on the drawing paper. His charm and posture seemed to jump out of the paper.

Everyone in the hall fell silent, their eyes focused on Hua Shi's brush, looking forward to the completion of the painting.

At this moment, the only sound in the hall was the rustling sound of Hua Shi's brush, and the atmosphere was quiet and beautiful.

……

It was a warm spring day with a gentle breeze, and the whole garden was quiet.

The sunlight is like a soft gauze, falling on the colorful flowers, making each petal sparkle with charming luster.

The breeze is like a naughty elf, gently blowing through the flowers, bringing bursts of subtle floral fragrance, making people feel relaxed and happy.

After an unknown amount of time, Hua Shi raised his head and bowed, "Your Highness, the painting is finished."

His voice broke the silence, but it didn't seem abrupt.

The people around were close by and went to look secretly, and they couldn't help but be amazed.

In the painting, Quan Jiuxi is lying on his side on a seat, dressed in black. The phoenix embroidered on the corner of his clothes is lifelike, as if it will spread its wings and fly away at any time.

The waterfall-like black hair flutters in the wind, and every strand is lively and elegant.

The person in the painting has beautiful facial features, and even his lazy expression reveals an innate nobility that makes people want to worship him.

Why has such outstanding painting skills never been seen in Beijing?

Everyone's hearts were filled with doubts and amazement.

Such exquisite painting skills and such vivid brushstrokes should have been famous in the capital, but they seemed to appear out of thin air, which is really puzzling.

Quan Jiuxi strode forward, and everyone immediately made way for her, as if forced by her invisible majesty.

Quan Jiuxi looked at the painting Hua Shi had finished and couldn't help but touch his chin, his eyes full of admiration.

The corners of her mouth curled up in a satisfied smile, and then she readily took out the jade pendant from her waist.

"The painting is good. It's a reward for you." Quan Jiuxi's voice was crisp and decisive.

Everyone was shocked. Why would His Highness give such a personal item as a gift?

Could it be that he has fallen for this plain-looking guy?

For a moment, all kinds of speculations were churning in everyone's minds.

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. This jade pendant was not only a personal item, but also a symbol of status and friendship.

What is so special about this man?

It is really hard to understand how Xier could love me so much.

Hua Shi lowered his eyes and took it, "Thank you, Your Highness."

His voice remained calm, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed his inner unrest at the moment.

The breeze blew again, and the flowers in the garden swayed gently, as if they were also intoxicated by this wonderful scene.

The sun still shines down warmly, reflecting the different expressions of everyone, freezing this moment into a picture full of stories.

Quan Jiuxi yawned lazily, stretched his stiff body, and said, "Father, it's already noon, let's go."

There was a hint of fatigue in her voice and her eyes were a little sleepy.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, a gentle smile on his face, and replied, "Then let's disperse."

As they finished speaking, everyone bowed and dispersed. For a moment, the originally bustling place became quiet.

Quan Jiuxi and Jiang Chen walked side by side, slowly heading towards the bedroom.

Along the way, sunlight shone on them through the gaps in the leaves, forming spots of light.

After returning to the bedroom, Quan Jiuxi suddenly collapsed in the chair, leaning his body in a very ungraceful manner.

Jiang Chen sat down quietly beside her and looked at her with concern.

"Xi'er, you don't choose any of them?" Jiang Chen asked, his tone filled with confusion and worry.

Quan Jiuxi sat up slightly, with a determined look on his face, and replied: "Father, you know I won't choose."

"The last man today..." Jiang Chen hesitated, his eyes searching.

When Quan Jiuxi heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face and he said, "I really like that painting."

Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly, feeling emotional. The child had grown up and had her own ideas. All he could do was to guide her. As for the final decision, it still depended on her.

……

Hua Shi was sent out of the palace with the large army. He stroked the jade pendant tightly in his hand, his thoughts in a mess.

She didn't choose anyone today, not even him.

Don't you like him?

She clearly recognized him, but why... Hua Shi frowned, her heart filled with sorrow that she couldn't relieve.

"Young Master." The man in white called out to Hua Shi from in front of the carriage.

Hua Shi collected his thoughts and looked up at Bai Yi, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, "Did something happen in the building?"

"Sir, I'm a little worried about you." The man in white looked concerned, his voice filled with anxiety.

"I'm fine, go back." Hua Shiqiang cheered himself up and tried to make his voice sound calm.

"Yes." Bai Yi responded, but his eyes were still full of worry, but he could only do as he was told.

Hua Shi got on the carriage, still holding the jade pendant in his hand. Looking at the street scene receding outside the window, his mood became increasingly heavy.
