Jing Mo stood beside Yu Xiaoxiao and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the Princess doesn't like these calligraphy and paintings?"
Yu Xiaoxiao pretended to nod and said, "Can we go eat now?"
Jing Mo was embarrassed after hearing what Yu Xiaoxiao said. The meticulous painting of a lady hanging in front of him and Yu Xiaoxiao was from a famous artist. Jing Mo believed that even in the imperial palace of Fengtian, there couldn't be such a painting by such a master. Gu Xinglang and Zuo You were warriors and couldn't see the exquisiteness of this painting. How could Princess Linglong, who was said to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, not understand it?
Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei then carried Gu Xinglang over and looked at the painting on the wall with their prince consort.
In the painting, the girl is sitting under the flowers, leaning on a bamboo couch. Her red dress looks thin and light, and the embroidery on the dress is also flowers, which contrasts vividly with the roses that envelop the girl's figure.
Seeing that no one was leaving, Yu Xiaoxiao stared at the painting for a few more seconds and asked Gu Xinglang, "Is this woman beautiful?"
Gu Xinglang said without thinking: "This woman looks average, the princess is much better than her."
Jing Mo's teeth were sore. These two started to play the love game in front of him again! This woman was one of the most famous beauties in the six countries back then. How could she look ordinary? Jing Mo glanced at Gu Xinglang. How high must this person's eyes be to say such words?
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the face of the girl in the painting. As someone who was used to seeing digital photos and had low aesthetic and appreciation abilities, Yu Xiaoxiao felt that the woman in the painting only had slightly better breasts than hers. "She is not as good as me," the princess said to her husband, "I am more like a human being than she is."
Zuo You also came over at this time, looked at the beauty in the painting, and said without hesitation: "Princess, you are right, this woman is too ugly, or you are as beautiful as a flower."
Beautiful as a flower? Yu Xiaoxiao often heard the soldiers under her say that when they praised women, they only had one purpose in teasing them for sex. Her Royal Highness looked at Marshal Zuo with a cold look and said, "Are you trying to hook up with me?"
Zuo You felt that he might not fully understand Fengtian dialect. What does hooking up mean? So Marshal Zuo asked Gu Xinglang: "Hooking up?"
Mouth!
Upon hearing that Zuoyou was so straightforward about having sex with her own Xiao Gu, Yu Xiaoxiao was furious. She wasn't dead yet, and she hadn't broken up with Gu Xinglang yet, but this guy was trying to steal her girl right in front of her? Yu Xiaoxiao reached out and grabbed Zuo You.
When Gu Xinglang saw his wife picking up Zuo You, his eyelids immediately twitched. Before his wife threw Zuo You out, Young Master Gu shouted to the princess, "Princess, don't hurt anyone!"
"You still can't bear to leave him?" Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Xinglang and asked, suddenly feeling a little depressed.
Gu Xinglang said, "We have to pay the Marshal for his medicine if we hurt him."
These words hit the nail on the head for Yu Xiaoxiao. Compensating money was equivalent to compensating food. Yu Xiaoxiao loosened her grip and decided not to throw this person away.
Zuo You was very confused. As soon as he landed on the ground, he asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "Princess, did I do something wrong?"
Yu Xiaoxiao glared at Zuo You. This man had been trying to steal her girl all the time, and now he was asking her innocently, "Did I do anything wrong?" This was called shamelessness, right?
Xiao Zhuang sniffed now and said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, this painting looks just like the real person. This painting must be very expensive, right?"
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiaozhuang with sympathy. People who have never seen high technology! How much does it cost to take a photo with a mobile phone and print it out? Yu Xiaoxiao said to Xiaozhuang: "How much is this worth? The person is deformed."
When Xiaozhuang heard his father-in-law say that the painting was not valuable, he immediately said, "Not valuable? Then can I buy it, Princess?"
Yu Xiaoxiao felt that buying a piece of paper to take home was a sheer waste of money, but she still asked Jing Mo, "How much is this painting? Give me a discount, I'll buy it."
Xiao Zhuang said, "Princess, I have money. I like this painting and I will buy it with my own money."
Zuo You felt that he must have upset Yu Xiaoxiao just now. The term "beautiful as a flower" must be too common for Her Highness the Princess. If he had known, he would have said "beautiful as a flower"! When Marshal Zuo heard that Yu Xiaoxiao wanted to buy a painting for her personal guard, he said to please Yu Xiaoxiao: "Isn't this just a painting? It's not worth much. Princess, if you like it, take it. Can Jing Mo still miss this painting? Just find an artist to paint a few strokes."
Jing Mo looked at the painting in front of him silently, not wanting to talk to the guys around him at all.
Gu Xinglang still had some appreciation ability, and said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, this painting should not be cheap."
When Yu Xiaoxiao heard this, she immediately said to Xiaozhuang, "Then don't ask for it. I'll buy you some buns when we go out later."
To Her Royal Highness the Princess, a famous painting worth a fortune is not as valuable as a few buns.
Jing Mo thought about it and refused to give up. He couldn't let Yu Linglong hide her shortcomings in front of him forever, so he asked Yu Xiaoxiao, "Princess, this is Master Zuo Daozi's painting. Don't you see that?"
Zuo Daozi!
Although the warriors were uneducated, when they heard this name, they no longer dared to say that the painting was worthless. Master Zuo was the most famous calligrapher and painter in the Six Kingdoms in the past hundred years.
Jing Mo felt relieved when he saw that several people were shocked by the three words "Zuo Daozi". This was the correct attitude to treat a master.
Unfortunately, there was an outsider among these people. Yu Xiaoxiao repeated the name Zuo Daozi in her mind and asked Zuo You: "His surname is also Zuo. Is he your relative?"
Zuo You was dumbfounded. Does that mean anyone with the surname Zuo must be his relative?
Jing Mo laughed and said, "Since the princess doesn't like painting and calligraphy, let's go enjoy the flowers." The Princess of Fengtian, even though she was given the black hair, was still wary of the prince who killed Japan. Jing Mo thought this was human nature, and some things could not be forced.
Yu Xiaoxiao watched Jing Mo walk out and asked Gu Xinglang in a low voice: "Is this painting very expensive?"
Gu Xinglang nodded. Zuo Daozi's paintings have always been in short supply, but he didn't expect that this small calligraphy and painting academy would have them. It seems that this place is another base of Zhu Ri'an in his Fengtian capital.
"The owner of this calligraphy and painting academy is my Zhu Riren," Jing Mo seemed to know what Gu Xinglang was thinking. Before leaving the hall, he explained to Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang nodded to Jing Mo, and then looked at the wall full of calligraphy and paintings, which suddenly became dazzling.
Yu Xiaoxiao followed Gu Xinglang out of the hall and immediately saw someone waiting in the corridor. She called out, "Brother?"
Gu Xingnuo walked up to the crowd with a smile, bowed to Jing Mo and Zuo You, and said, "I am Gu Xingnuo, greeting the Grand Prince Jing, Marshal Zuo."
Jing Mo smiled and said, "Why is Mr. Gu here?"
"I was worried about the princess and my third brother, so I went to the Huguo Temple first. Then I heard that the eldest prince brought them here to appreciate the chrysanthemums, so I came here uninvited," Gu Xingnuo said to Jing Mo neither humbly nor arrogantly. He stood in front of his third brother and his third brother's wife without leaving any trace. For Young Master Gu, this kind of protective act was as common as eating and sleeping.
