Stunning at Every Step: Sheng Chong Ghost Princess

Chapter 31
Chu Ziyan didn't even look at Du Ruo and went to his seat, the maid came forward and poured hot tea for him.

The prince said to the maid: "Go get a blanket and give it to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince."

"Yes."

"Ziyan, are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Brother Huang, let someone bring it for you."

"Not hungry."

Although Mingyue was standing outside the pavilion, she still heard the thoughtful words of the prince, this elder brother is really careful, and looking at Chu Ziyan, he was as proud as a little prince.

"Hey, where's Cai Xiufeng? Where did he go to paint for the prince?" Chu Zirui asked.

"It is said that the paint is a little off, so I have to adjust it."

As he spoke, Cai Xiufeng came out of the Golden Autumn Hall, holding an inkstone in his hand, strode into the gazebo and bowed to the masters.

"His Royal Highness, the Third Highness has been waiting for a long time."

Cai Xiufeng was wearing a white shirt with a black smock over it, a black belt tied around his waist, and his hair was well-groomed.But in his early thirties, his eyes are not considered handsome, his appearance is very ordinary and even looks a little dull.

Chu Zixi said: "Painter Cai also rests for a while and drinks tea."

"Yes." Cai Xiufeng put the things in his hands on the painting table, walked over again, and sat down politely.

"Brother Cai, guess who this is?" Chu Zirui gestured to Chu Ziyan.

Cai Xiufeng looked at the past, his eyes fell on Chu Ziyan's face, and he was slightly distracted, and then he said politely: "There is a frail look between the eyebrows, but the eyes are as clear as a spring, and there is a face that is ashamed of the moon and the country's city. He also has Qinglian's elegant demeanor, although I don't know who it is, but he must be a noble person, Cai Xiufeng is polite."

Cai Xiufeng's regular praise only got Chu Ziyan a slight sideways look and nod.

Chu Zirui laughed and said, "Brother Cai, this is my ninth younger brother, the legendary number one beauty in the Chu Kingdom, the sick beauty, Chu Ziyan."

"It turned out to be Your Highness Ninth Prince, sorry for that."

Chu Ziyan: "What disrespect is there? Painter Cai is extremely talented, and this king is just wearing a false name."

"His Royal Highness Nine has such a fragrant temperament, he must be a person full of talents."

In fact, it is true. Compared with Chu Ziyan, Cai Xiufeng may live a more enjoyable life. One is a person who has reached the pinnacle of life because of his talent, and the other is a person who has been raised in a deep boudoir with nothing but status, and his life is at stake. Nine princes of the evening.

Now looking at the few people present, Mingyue still feels that Chu Ziyan is quite pitiful.

He is poor?
And what about the stand-ins who died to keep him alive?

In this way, it is perfectly appropriate that poor people must have something to hate.

Zhao Mingyue's eyes fell on Chu Zixi's action of putting the blanket on Chu Ziyan's lap again, but Chu Ziyan just nodded slightly, and then took the blanket away: "Your Highness, I just want a cup of hot tea. I feel a little hot when I go down, so I will cover it when it cools down."

"Alright, remember to cover it when it's cold."

This prince is really good-tempered and patient, Zhao Mingyue suddenly regained his balance, even His Royal Highness has nothing to do with Chu Ziyan, the punishment she usually receives for those childish pranks is nothing more than a feather, not worth mentioning, right?
She was looking at the prince secretly, but was killed by Du Ruo with a cold squint. Mingyue turned her gaze away, but how much crime could it be to just take a look at the prince?She is not rare to see it.

At this moment, His Highness the Crown Prince pointed at the moon suddenly, and said loudly, "That child...what's his name?"

"Zhao Mingyue!" Mingyue reported her family name, anyway, these are common questions and answers.

"Mingyue, don't stand outside, come over for some snacks."

This prince is really different from the ones shown on TV, so... so close to the people!Although the prince said so, Du Ruo glared at her again, but she didn't care, why are they eating snacks? She stood outside, so she said "yes" cheerfully and ran in immediately.

"Get out," Chu Ziyan said suddenly, with a calm and weak look on his face, "He's just a pariah, and he doesn't deserve to sit at the same table as me."

Hey, I know that you are usually a little childish, but you can hardly be regarded as a black-bellied person, but you don't bring such harm to others and yourself. This is called discrimination, you know?Zhao Mingyue felt a little upset, but in the end she stopped and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the little one should stand outside."

Chu Zixi looked at Chu Ziyan, smiled helplessly and reached out to stroke his hair.

Chu Ziyan tilted his head and coughed, avoiding his touch. What he hates the most is when others touch him.

Chu Zixi lost his hand, his eyes sank slightly, he turned to pat him on the shoulder and said dotingly: "You, when will you change your temper. Du Ruo, give Mingyue this stack of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes." .”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Du Ruo walked towards Mingyue carrying the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus. The red robe was gorgeous and her steps were proud. She walked up to the thin Mingyue and said with a smile, "Mingyue, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that His Royal Highness gave you. You must eat it well."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Recently, I was often dismissed by some food. To be honest, I didn't eat any delicious food when I was at home. Now I have to be grateful for a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

It's also unlucky, so bear with it, bear the humiliation.

It's just that Mingyue took the plate but Du Ruo didn't let go, she looked at him puzzled, brother, what do you mean?
Du Ruo looked at her coldly, and the corner of her mouth curled up slightly: "Don't think that it's enough to be young and pretty."

"what?"

He suddenly let go.

Mingyue felt that she really misheard just now, what did Du Ruo tell her just now?

Du Ruo turned around and walked into the gazebo, sat next to the prince, with a charming smile on her face again, Mingyue's neck couldn't help but felt that something was wrong.

Chu Zirui said: "Brother Cai, why don't you continue and let the ninth brother see your ability."

"Yes, then I would trouble you to return to your original position, Your Highness."

Before Cai Xiufeng returned to the painting, Chu Zixi continued to sit back on his seat, and Cai Xiufeng continued to copy it to him.Zhao Mingyue shook her head, she didn't think Cai Xiufeng's drawing was bad, but just thought it was too troublesome, and it took less than a second for her phone to click.

It is said that Cai Xiufeng can draw realistically, can he have realistic photos?
However, after Zhao Mingyue saw the paintings, she was also a little impressed. She had seen some ancient portraits, and even some of the exquisite portraits today were not necessarily at the level of Cai Xiufeng.

Under the influence of his brush and ink, the people in the paintings are becoming more and more three-dimensional, and they cannot be as realistic and pixel-like as photos, but his paintings give people the feeling of a mirror, and the people in the paintings are as lifelike as mirror images.

Mingyue watched from a distance, and after avoiding the details of the picture, she felt that Chu Zixi in the painting could walk out of the painting...

Just now he thought Cai Xiufeng was dull, but now he has to bear to look at him seriously.

Mingyue discovered a very good thing about him. He is a person who can draw with both hands. Sometimes when filling in colors, he also uses a pen to color with his left hand. He is very proficient.

After seeing it, Chu Ziyan finally took the initiative to speak: "Painter Cai's skills are indeed different from ordinary people, and the title of 'magic brush' bestowed by the emperor is well deserved."

Cai Xiufeng stopped the pen in his hand, and said modestly: "Thanks to the great love of the emperor."

"Painter Cai is not very young, but his paintings are so mature that they have surpassed the master's level." Chu Zixi also sincerely praised.

"Don't dare, I just started to learn painting since I was a child, and then I paint every day. I don't dare to call myself a master."

"You are too modest!" Chu Zirui said.

Chu Ziyan asked again: "Painter Cai's left hand is very special."

"The left hand is special?" Cai Xiufeng looked at his left hand, but couldn't see why: "Why does His Royal Highness say that?"

"It's just that I haven't seen a painter who uses both hands."

Cai Xiufeng smiled: "I always felt that my speed was slow, and then I thought why can't I use my left hand? So I kept practicing, and the left hand can also help me a little bit."

Cai Xiufeng was indeed very modest, but after Chu Ziyan said that his left hand was unique, Mingyue also paid attention to his left hand, but his hand was stained with ink and there was nothing special about it.But for some reason, Zhao Mingyue always felt that something was wrong.

Gradually the sun went down.

Cai Xiufeng said: "His Royal Highness, the painting has been basically completed, and we can polish it carefully next time."

"That is to say, I don't need to be a puppet for you to draw anymore."

"His Royal Highness has worked hard, it is no longer necessary."

"That's good!" Chu Zixi breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Chu Ziyan, "Ziyan, how about having dinner at my East Palace tonight? Zirui is coming too."

"Okay!" Chu Zirui immediately agreed.

Chu Ziyan stood up, showing a trace of exhaustion: "I'm really sorry, His Royal Highness, I just felt unwell, and now I have to go back to rest..."

"Ninth brother..." Chu Zirui wanted to force Chu Ziyan to go again.

"Zhao Mingyue, come here." Chu Ziyan was very insistent at the moment, and called Zhao Mingyue without letting Chu Zirui speak.

Didn't it mean that she was humble and couldn't stand with them?It's because she has a large number of adults that she doesn't have the same knowledge as him, so Zhao Mingyue walked over: "What orders does King Yan have?"

"My king is tired, you carry me back to Kangning Garden."

He let her carry it?Is it too capable?quit!Zhao Mingyue turned around and flashed her back: "King Yan, Mingyue will carry you back."

Chu Ziyan was not polite at all, and lay on Zhao Mingyue's thin back.

This is the veritable enduring humiliation, right?Zhao Mingyue picked him up, and said to the two masters behind him: "Prince, Your Highness, my master will retire first."

Then he went home with Chu Ziyan on his back.

Don't look at Chu Ziyan as a sick child, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, tall, even if he is thin, his bones still have weight. Besides, Chu Ziyan is not very thin, this weight weighs on Zhao Mingyue's back Be very solid.

Zhao Mingyue struggled to recite it, but she didn't say a word of complaint.Because she never felt that Chu Ziyan was close to her, so he didn't feel that he was far away. He was always in his place, and so was she.I just thought of a picture, a child from a poor family is riding a horse for a child from a rich family...

Really TM sad reminder.
