But his features are delicate and well-proportioned.
Although he often drank heavily and stayed up late
Her skin, however, is still well-maintained.
After entering the courtyard,
Li Tang noticed that the emperor had glanced at Li Qingzhao several times, and quickly introduced her.
"Your Majesty, this is Li Qingzhao, the Laywoman of Yi'an."
Li Qingzhao stepped forward again to pay her respects.
"Your subject Li Qingzhao pays respects to Your Majesty."
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "I've long admired your name."
"Your many poems,"
"I have already read it."
Li Qingzhao modestly said, "These are just some of my humble works."
"I dare not meet the sage ruler's approval."
"Please don't be so formal, all of you may be seated,"
Zhao Yuan sat on the chair that the eunuch had brought over.
"I was at the Qionglin Banquet,"
"I wrote a limerick for the newly appointed scholar,"
"I'm sure you all already know."
"I am not skilled in calligraphy, painting, or literature."
“You are all highly skilled in this field,”
"There is no need to be overly humble in front of me."
Zhang Zeduan quickly flattered him.
"Your Majesty has the well-being of the nation and its people at heart,"
"There's no need to get bogged down in such trivial matters."
Li Tang immediately introduced the man.
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Your 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' painting..."
"But I like it very much,"
"It was taken from Zhao Ji long ago."
"Your Majesty is too kind."
Zhang Zeduan felt completely refreshed.
Zhao Yuan suddenly felt an itch in his hands.
"I also learned painting from the Imperial Concubine,"
"Today I've made a fool of myself once again."
No one dared to be negligent.
He quickly fetched a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Zhao Yuan not only learned to paint bamboo from Li Shishi,
In the past two years, I have also learned to paint orchids.
He first drew several stones.
He also drew a clump of bamboo.
Then draw orchids in the cracks of the rocks.
A traditional Chinese ink painting of bamboo and orchids was completed quickly.
"The official is a skilled painter, his brushwork is masterful,"
"Vigorous and powerful, with distinct layers and a perfect balance of light and dark."
"The movement of the bamboo in this wind is just right,"
"His unwavering integrity leaps off the page!"
Chapter 1869 Painting
"It possesses both strength and gentleness, and its combination of strength and gentleness is truly extraordinary."
“…”
Zhao Yuan had just finished writing.
A string of praises immediately followed.
These artists frantically flattered the emperor.
Zhao Yuan looked at Li Qingzhao: "Why doesn't the Laywoman Yi'an offer any comments?"
Li Qingzhao was not used to lying.
He could only manage a forced smile.
"The official painting is excellent,"
"The artistic conception is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"Hahahaha!"
Zhao Yuan laughed heartily, threw down his pen, and said...
"I have been painting bamboo and orchids for several years now,"
"It's good enough to fool ordinary people,"
"In your presence, I would surely appear like a three-year-old child."
"But everyone loves to hear flattery,"
"If you'd like to talk, then talk as much as you want."
"Everyone can have some fun."
Upon hearing this,
Everyone couldn't laugh or cry.
And seeing that the emperor did not seem to be faking it,
They were all relieved.
I know this person in front of me is easy to talk to.
Li Tang took the initiative to report on the progress of his work.
They even presented the manuscript to me.
Zhao Yuan was not interested in these things.
Pretending to flip through a few pages,
Then they went to admire the antiques and collectibles.
Everyone immediately followed.
Which one did Zhao Yuan see?
They then provided a detailed introduction.
After touring for a while, we returned to the courtyard.
Zhao Yuan had a eunuch bring over tea.
"I do not like compressed tea."
"This is Yangzhou black tea,"
"Please use it to make drinks as you like."
"Thank you for the generous gift, Your Majesty!"
Everyone quickly bowed in gratitude.
After Fujian was recovered,
The imperial tea gardens there are all now surnamed Zhu.
However, the accounts were a complete mess.
From officials to clerks
They're all lining their own pockets.
Moreover, they ruthlessly exploited tea farmers.
Zhao Yuan has already dispatched an imperial censor from the Censorate.
Visiting several imperial tea gardens in Fujian,
After clarifying the accounts, it was auctioned off directly.
The only requirement,
The auctions should be restricted separately.
We cannot allow certain merchants to create monopolies.
Boil water in the clay stove to prepare tea.
The group sat around the emperor and chatted.
Li Tang followed Emperor Huizong of Song for twenty years.
They kept talking about interesting things from the previous dynasty.
When it gets to the absurd and ridiculous parts,
Everyone burst into laughter.
Li Tang also represented the people.
They requested that poems and paintings be presented on the spot.
Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "Art comes from the depths of the soul."
"Made-to-order items inevitably suffer from a craftsman's touch,"
"It's not too late to present it when you have a good work to share privately."
"It was Li Qingzhao who was skilled in rhyme,"
"You must be good at playing musical instruments,"
"I wonder if I may hear a song today?"
Li Qingzhao quickly stood up.
"There is a zither inside; I will fetch it immediately."
Russia returned.
Li Qingzhao was already holding a guqin in her arms.
The tinkling sounds began as the emperor played music.
Li Qingzhao was more skilled at composing music and writing lyrics.
And appreciation of lyrics and music,
The performance was not at a professional level.
At least, she's far inferior to Li Shishi.
