Chapter 60 looks familiar
Yan Xiaoxiao is still very confident about disguise modification and imitation.

"So, you have already made up your mind?" Feng Lishang looked at Yan Xiaoxiao firmly, with a rare seriousness in his eyes. A gust of wind blew in through the crack of the unclosed carved wooden window, blowing him up. A long silver hair.

His face was so beautiful that women couldn't help being jealous.

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded affirmatively, "Yes, please ask Mr. Feng to arrange it for me."

"No problem." Feng Lishang nodded thoughtfully, "I remember that the royal family is recruiting painters. How about your paintings? If possible, there is a legitimate reason to get involved."

Yan Xiaoxiao grinned, and said confidently: "I might not be able to do anything else, but when it comes to painting...it's one of my strengths."

Yan Xiaoxiao was not proficient in other kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, but she is very talented in painting. She was taught by a master in painting since she was a child. Conceited, she does have this capital.

She thought that she might return without success this time, but she didn't think that there is no unparalleled road. God will show her a clear way soon. If she doesn't go, she will live up to God's good intentions.

"That's very good, you can stay with me first, and when I make arrangements, I will send you into the palace."

This waited for four or five days.

In the past few days, Yan Xiaoxiao did not leave the gate, and recuperated in Feng Lishang's residence.The arrow injury on the shoulder was because the opponent shot the arrow from too far away, and part of the strength was relieved in the air, and the angle was a bit off. It was not serious, and it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, but she stayed in the dungeon for a few days. God, the wound was not treated in time, leading to inflammation and festering, so the recovery was a little slower.

However, despite this, eating and drinking well every day, and smearing the best sore medicine, the wound formed a scar in a few days, and there was no pain.

Yan Xiaoxiao didn't know where Feng Lishang got the news that the palace wanted to recruit painters. In short, after four or five days, the imperial list was indeed released.

This time, the royal family recruited painters mainly to teach the little masters in the palace to paint. Therefore, there are not only technical requirements for the painters, but also other requirements in terms of appearance, temperament, and family background. Although the remuneration makes many people very excited , but there are very few people who can uncover the imperial list.

Yan Xiaoxiao was wearing a water-green veil dress. The well-cut skirt wrapped her increasingly exquisite curves. On her fair and delicate face, there was a thin veil covering most of her face, revealing only a pair of watery eyes. Ling Gu Pan Youshen's beautiful big eyes, when he looks into those eyes, there will be an inexplicable, heart-thumping feeling.

Yan Xiaoxiao walked slowly to the notice board, raised her plain hand, and tore down the imperial list.

Not long after, a few guards walked over from the crowd, and the leader turned out to be General Feng's only son, Feng Jianlin.

Yan Xiaoxiao made some simple modifications and wore a veil. Feng Jianlin didn't recognize her, but walked up to her and cupped his fists and said, "Girl, please follow me."

After taking off the imperial list, someone will be taken to the palace by a special person, and after some internal assessments, one or a few of the most suitable people will be selected to stay. This has always been the rule. Knowing that, after expressing his intention to Feng Lishang who was hiding in the crowd, he calmly followed Feng Jianlin.

The carriage carried her back to this resplendent palace, and she still entered through the side door. It seemed that the palace paid great attention to this matter, and tidied up a courtyard early on. When Yan Xiaoxiao arrived, she was in front of her. Several people who had taken off the imperial list had already been sent.

Feng Jianlin respectfully said to her: "Girl, this is your temporary residence, because... I didn't expect a woman to reveal the imperial list, so I didn't prepare a residence for female guests, but every room here is It is independent, and girls don't have to worry about safety issues."

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded at him, slightly pressed her voice and said softly, "Thank you."

Feng Jianlin heard Yan Xiaoxiao's voice was a bit weird, and seeing that she was wearing a veil, he thought she might be feeling cold occasionally, so he didn't pay much attention, "Then girl, please come in, the deadline for the three-day imperial list is up. There will be a nanny in charge to take you tomorrow morning, so I will take my leave now."

After Feng Jianlin took the people away, Yan Xiaoxiao was about to turn around and go back to the room, when he saw two or three men walking from the other side, all dressed as scholars, and when they saw Yan Xiaoxiao, they all acted curiously. Staring at her, "Girl, who are you looking for?"

A strange light flashed in Yan Xiaoxiao's watery eyes, then she frowned, "I'm not looking for anyone."

"This is the place where the applicants for painters who took down the imperial list this time live. How can you, a woman, appear here?" Arrived one day early, so I moved in yesterday, just met to go around the yard, and missed Yan Xiaoxiao's arrival.

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded lightly, "I know, I live here too." Saying that, she pointed to a door on the left behind her.

"Joke, you are a girl, how could you live here..." One of them was halfway through speaking, and suddenly realized, "You, could it be that you are also here to apply for a painter?"

"Yes, you gentlemen are polite." Yan Xiaoxiao bent her knees slightly, not intending to chat with these people, "It's windy outside, my little girl has to go back to her room first."

Going back to the room to rest for a while, Yan Xiaoxiao's mind was full of revenge, and finding out the purpose of Yunfei and the fake De'an, she didn't feel any tension at all, last time she was impulsive and almost lost This time, she must plan carefully and probe slowly.

The palace, she must stay!
And tomorrow's champion must be himself!

It was getting late, and a court lady brought a meal to eat. Yan Xiaoxiao used a little casually, then turned off the light and climbed onto the bed, and practiced for a while with her legs crossed. Wrapped in a quilt to sleep, the unfamiliar environment made her a little insomnia, but in the second half of the night, because of exhaustion, she fell into a deep sleep.

When she got up early the next morning, a nanny came to knock on the door, and took them to the Royal Garden for a competition. Yan Xiaoxiao carefully put on makeup for herself in front of the bronze mirror, and after putting on a veil, she followed the old nanny Mama went out.

Only then did she realize that this competition is not small. Although there are not many people who have taken off the imperial list, there are more than [-] people. It is obvious that there are more than [-] people who are outstanding among these [-] people. The requirements are quite high.

But she didn't care, she believed that Feng Lishang would arrange everything for her.

The imperial garden full of flowers has been arranged as a venue. The purpose of recruiting painters this time is not only to paint for the masters in the palace, but also part of the purpose is to find a mentor for the little princess and prince.

The little princess and the little prince are a pair of twins, and their biological mother is a lucky concubine who is only six years old. The two little masters have been very interested in painting since they were young, and the lucky concubine knows how to make the emperor happy. The list gathered the best painters in Dongchen Kingdom.

The competition was personally hosted and supervised by the empress.

Yan Xiaoxiao's palms were slightly sweaty.

The people sitting in the high position were her biological parents, but now they met and did not know each other. This feeling made her heartbroken, disappointed, and extremely nervous.

"The competition begins!" The eunuch next to the emperor sang in a shrill voice, "Today's test question is, the portraits of the emperor and empress!"

As soon as the exam question was announced, it immediately caused a commotion among the crowd.

Even Yan Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, she didn't expect that the test question was to draw the portraits of her father and mother, let alone other people, even she didn't know how to write for a while.

Although the empress was a pair of golden boy and jade girl when she was young, but now she is getting older, there are fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and wrinkles between her brows. If these are drawn truthfully, who knows that the empress will not be able to see them? will be unhappy.But if they deliberately beautify the two, they will also have to bear the crime of deceiving the emperor. If the emperor is unhappy, I am afraid that even his life will be lost.

The painters whispered to each other, sighed, not knowing how to write, and hesitated for a long time before raising their pens one after another.

And Yan Xiaoxiao, after the initial daze, quickly picked up the pen.

She draws very fast, and every move, every frown and smile of her father, queen and queen has long been engraved in her heart. There is no need to deliberately observe the facial features and expressions of the two of them. Almost as soon as she picks up a pen, she is inspired. And to.

She held her breath, her wrists fluttered, and it took only half an hour from picking up the pen to writing it down.

Other painters were still immersed in their paintings, but some people put down their pens one after another.

Another half an hour later, it was announced that the competition was over, and the father-in-law collected the paintings made by the painters one by one, and showed them to the empress first.

It can be seen that the empress is in a good mood today, looking at the different selves in those paintings, she doesn't see any anger, sometimes she bows her head and discusses a sentence or two softly, as if she is deliberating.

"Hey, this painting..." Both the emperor and the empress were attracted to Yan Xiaoxiao's painting when they saw Yan Xiaoxiao's painting. look familiar?"

The emperor also nodded in surprise, "It's indeed a bit familiar, but it's similar to Qiqi's style, but she checked a little bit more than Qiqi, which is not bad."

The empress spread out the drawing paper completely, looked at the inscription on it, and slowly read out a name, "Hua Moke... this should be a girl's name, and there is only one woman on the field."

"Hua Moke." The emperor straightened his expression, suddenly looked at Yan Xiaoxiao, and called out her name.

Yan Xiaoxiao was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward and bowed her knees, "Hua Moke, the daughter of the people, has seen Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

"Your painting is not bad, but I and the empress are a little puzzled, and I hope Miss Hua can answer."

The emperor's eyes flicked across Yan Xiaoxiao lightly, his tone sounded a little casual, it was his usual tone, without showing joy or sorrow, no one knew what he really thought in his heart at this moment.

Yan Xiaoxiao hurriedly bent her knees again, "If the emperor asks you, the daughters of the people will know all the answers."

"I have seen the paintings submitted by other painters. They are either too realistic and lack aesthetic feeling, or are too exaggerated. I can't tell that the paintings are mine, but your paintings are a bit special." The emperor asked the eunuch who served beside him Unfolded the painting for everyone to see, and then said lightly, "Zhen and the empress did not do such a gesture, but you drew such a gesture, although the people in the painting are all in profile, but they are well captured. The characteristics of me and the empress, at first I thought you were trying to beautify the two of us and flatter us, but when I took a closer look, it didn't look alike. In this painting, there are faint wrinkles on the corners of the eyes of both me and the empress .”
