Chapter 31: His skill has exceeded that of the first painter Yan Liben

"What's wrong?" Before seeing the painting, Queen Changsun was also a little uneasy.

Because when she saw Li Shimin and others, they had strange expressions on their faces.

Could it be that Zhao Chen's painting is not good?

In fact, even if the painting is not good, it doesn't matter much.

That's not what I care about.

Queen Changsun thought to herself.

He was already thinking of words to comfort Zhao Chen.

"Madam, you now have a sister." Li Shimin's sudden words made Empress Changsun unable to react for a moment.

"Madam, come and see." Li Shimin supported Empress Changsun and walked to the canvas.

Queen Changsun was stunned for a moment, then walked over in a few steps.

Then you can see the overwhelming posture on the canvas, just like a real person.

Even the strands of hair on the temples are clearly visible.

In the beautiful eyes, not even the reflection of the pupils is missing.

"Is this me?" Queen Changsun looked at herself on the canvas with disbelief in her eyes.

Now that she is in her thirties, how can she feel that she is still as beautiful as the one on the canvas?

My heart was even more shocked by Zhao Chen's painting skills.

If you suddenly see these words in front of you, you will definitely feel that they are real people.

"Bastard, your skills are really amazing. Even Yan Liben, the number one painter in the Tang Dynasty, is no match for you." Hongfu Nu looked at Zhao Chen with shock in her eyes.

He secretly thought that Zhao Chen actually had such a method.

She has a straightforward temper, and she can't hide her surprise.

However, he still had a lot of resentment towards Zhao Chen, so he called him a gangster.

Li Ruoshuang looked at Empress Changsun in the painting and compared her appearance, feeling a sense of inferiority in her heart.

I was already a little curious about Zhao Chen.

Such a painting skill, actually hiding in a tavern?

"Master Zhao is really good at painting. If you have time, can you paint one for my mother? Ruoshuang will definitely be rewarded." Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen expectantly.

In my heart, I wanted to ask Zhao Chen to draw a painting for Hong Fu Nu.

"I don't have time recently." Zhao Chen glanced at Li Ruoshuang and directly rejected her request.

Painting is not as good as eating and drinking.

It's simple, just paint as you say.

Well, in fact, Zhao Chen didn't like this Hong Fu girl, so he implicated Li Ruoshuang.

Fortunately, Zhao Chen didn't know that the person in front of him was Hongfu Nu, and she was Li Ruoshuang's mother.

Being rejected by Zhao Chen, a trace of displeasure flashed across Li Ruoshuang's brows.

Growing up, she had always rejected others.

This is the first time I have been rejected.

"If you don't paint, you won't paint. Do you think we are a stranger?" Hongfu Nu said in a choked voice.

But his eyes were looking at the canvas, and his heart was full of envy.

Queen Changsun was filled with joy and never expected that Zhao Chen could be so capable.

No wonder Li Shimin said such words just now.

"The paint on this painting is not dry yet, so don't fold it up easily. Just go back and hang it." Zhao Chen instructed.

"Zhao Chen, how about leaving this painting with you?" Queen Changsun said.

Although she herself cannot be with Zhao Chen every day, she also hopes that her portrait can be with Zhao Chen every day.

Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment and looked at Queen Changsun strangely.

What's the point of keeping this painting here?

Li Shimin also felt that such a painting could be left here with Zhao Chen, covered in dust.

It must be brought back to the palace so that it can be framed.

It will surely be passed down to future generations.

"Madam, if you like this painting so much, we will send it back to the house later." Li Shimin advised.

Queen Changsun nodded and agreed.

"Sir, the folks are here." Uncle Fu suddenly stood up and said to Zhao Chen.

Everyone looked up and saw about ten people suddenly coming to the street.

They were all dressed up as ordinary people, including men, women, and one or two children.

I saw them coming to the tavern.

"Brother Zhao, we are here to pick you up." Someone shouted to Zhao Chen.

Several children ran over with smiles on their faces and saw Li Shimin and others dressed in luxurious clothes.

clothes, standing still.

Feeling timid, I took a few steps away.

"Brother, the village chief asked us all to come and take brother back to his hometown." The older child said to Zhao Chen, his eyes full of joy.

"The second baby has grown a lot taller." Zhao Chen smiled and patted the child's head and said.

"Brother slapped me on the head again. The elders in the village said that if you slap me on the head, you won't grow taller."

"In the future, I want to be as powerful as my brother, and I can't let my brother be outdone." The child said with excitement on his face.

The child's words made everyone smile.

Li Shimin could also see that Zhao Chen had a good relationship with these children.

I want to get close to him in Wannian County over the past few years.

Queen Changsun smiled.

The child's words were always sincere. When she heard the child say that he would be as powerful as Zhao Chen when he grew up, Queen Changsun was quite happy.

Even these children don't know that Zhao Chen is extraordinary. As a mother, how can she not be happy.

"Several nobles, today we, the people, would like to invite Brother Zhao back to our hometown, and we would also like to ask a few nobles to make it easier for us." The middle-aged man who spoke first said to Li Shimin.

They all saw that several people were dressed in extraordinary ways, and their status was definitely not comparable to theirs.

He didn't want Zhao Chen to offend these noble people because of himself, so he took the initiative to request.

"Brother, I'm serious. We are all friends of Zhao Chen. This time we are going to visit our hometown with Zhao Chen." Li Shimin said with a slight smile.

Since Queen Changsun wanted to go with Zhao Chen, Li Shimin couldn't refuse.

He has asked the coachman to return to the palace and ask for two imperial doctors to come over, just in case.

"Since we are friends with Brother Zhao, we naturally welcome him with both hands." The middle-aged man nodded honestly.

"Uncle Fu, close the tavern and let's set off." Zhao Chen said to Uncle Fu.

…

The emperor left the palace, and Li Chengqian also knew it.

He had also heard about the emperor going on patrol incognito, but he didn't take it to heart.

He has more important things.

For example, coming to Changsun Mansion.

Li Chengqian's visit made Changsun Wuji hesitate.

He wanted to excuse his illness, but he thought about how Li Chengqian's position as prince could be so easily abolished.

Besides, how did Li Tai overcome the opposition of so many ministers and securely sit on the throne of the prince?

Some of Changsun Wuji's eggs have already been released.

Li Chengqian cannot be thrown away.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to visit in person today. The old minister was negligent. He is really guilty. Later, the old minister will punish himself with three cups of wine to make amends for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Changsun Wuji came over with a smile on his face and said to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was not in a good mood.

At this time, he couldn't feel Changsun Wuji's pulse, so he had to put on a smile on his face and said, "My uncle's words are going to scare my nephew. Cheng Qian is terrified in his heart."

"Why did His Royal Highness say this?" Changsun Wuji began to pretend to be stupid.

"Uncle, today there is only the nephew, not the prince." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Okay, Chengqian, please sit down." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Changsun Wuji's face.

"Uncle, you invited Qingque to the banquet yesterday. Chengqian also wanted to come, but he didn't receive the invitation." Li Chengqian said slowly, looking at Changsun Wuji.

He came today to know Changsun Wuji's attitude.

Li Tai or him, who should I choose?

Changsun Wuji had a smile on his face. He had expected Li Chengqian's question.

Then he saw Changsun Wuji shaking his head and saying, "Chengqian, your Majesty vaguely showed his intention to abolish the establishment, but he was persuaded by someone."

"What!" Li Chengqian stood up suddenly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

When speculation becomes reality, no one will take it lightly.

Does the father really want to abolish Li Chengqian's position as crown prince and replace him with that bastard Li Tai?

For a moment, Li Chengqian was swallowed up by anger.

Over the years, he has worked very hard, walking on thin ice, for fear of making any mistakes and annoying his father.

Who knew that even though I worked so hard, I couldn't compare to my father's selfishness.

Li Chengqian's hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly squeezed together.
