Chapter 153 An Ning's Troubles
Song Mansion.
Song Jiaren put a few plum blossoms in the vase and suddenly asked Li Nuo, "How is Miss Fenghuang's matter going?"
Li Nuo closed the book he was reading, looked up and said, "It's been solved."
This time, because of Yuyin Pavilion, there was quite a stir.
The ruffians in Chang'an were specially disciplined, and the main culprit, the owner of Lelailou, paid the price with his life. Not only was Yuyin Pavilion temporarily out of danger, but there was no need to worry about similar incidents happening in the future.
The rumor he had worked so hard to dispel was all in vain.
After this incident, people refused to believe that he and Fenghuang were innocent.
Li Nuo was fine. These rumors would no longer affect the relationship between him and his wife.
But for Phoenix, it is hard to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
No one would dare to mess with Yuyin Pavilion again in the future, but she was also labeled as "the woman of the son of the Dali Temple Minister", and I'm afraid no man would dare to approach her.
If she can't get married in the future, she can't blame him.
Speak of the phoenix and it will appear.
She walked into the room with a vase of flowers in her arms and said to Song Jiaren, "Miss Song, I'm sorry, I have a lot of things to do in Yuyin Pavilion recently, and I didn't have time to come here until today..."
Fenghuang came here this time to teach you how to paint.
Painting and flower arrangement seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they are actually closely connected.
The former is used to lay the foundation and cultivate aesthetic taste. Everyone can put flowers in a vase, but how to select materials, how to layout the composition, and how to match colors are the key points and difficulties. If any one of them is lacking, the flowers will look out of place.
Although Li Nuo never had such expectations for his wife.
But it would be better if she could have some artistic touch.
There was more light in the yard. Two people were sitting in the pavilion. Fenghuang was explaining to Song Jiaren how to mix colors in painting. Li Nuo was standing in the distance, watching them quietly.
The two beauties in the same frame are truly pleasing to the eye.
The poem "Beauty" made the Song Mansion a popular tourist attraction in Chang'an. Every day, people would wander outside the mansion, wanting to see what the beauty in the poem looked like.
The song "Feng Qiu Huang" made Fenghuang famous in Chang'an, and Yuyin Pavilion's business was even better than before.
Both of them are known as the most beautiful women in Chang'an, and this is the bonus of poetry.
Their looks are certainly outstanding among women, but there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, and the same is true for appearance.
If someone says that the lady is the most beautiful woman in Chang'an, Fenghuang will definitely not accept it. If Fenghuang claims herself to be the most beautiful woman in Chang'an, Li Anning will also have something to say, and other women will not accept it either.
But both are beauties, one has the bonus of literary works, while the other’s beauty is unknown to anyone, and the difference is immediately apparent.
Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan and Yang Yuhuan are recognized by later generations as the four great beauties. Throughout history, there must have been many women who were more beautiful than them, but they did not leave their names like them.
When the appearance conditions are the same, the work becomes the deciding factor.
The same principle also applied to the previous Oiran selection.
It’s a pity that Li Anning is not here.
The painting that Li Nuo gave her was hung in the most conspicuous place in the yamen as if to show off. Every official from the Ministry of Justice who came to the yamen to do business could see it at first glance.
Officials’ lives are actually very boring, and they like to get together and chat when they have nothing to do.
Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and Princess An Ning, who "smiled so charmingly that all the beauties in the harem pale in comparison," finally became known for her beauty rather than her strength.
While he was thinking about Li An Ning, footsteps were heard at the door.
Li Nuo turned his head and took a look, thinking that today was really his wish come true.
Li Anning originally wanted to find Li Nuo for something, but he glanced at the small pavilion in the courtyard and his expression was slightly stunned.
Why is she here?
He was still chatting and laughing with Song Jiaren, and they looked very familiar with each other...
For the sake of harmony between the couple, she tried her best to prevent her husband from contacting Fenghuang outside, but she even brought people home!
Li Nuo looked at Li An Ning and asked, "Is there another case?"
Li Anning was already in a bad mood, and he became even more depressed when he saw Fenghuang. He said unhappily, "Can't you come here if you don't have a case? I'm looking for Ning'er and Mu'er, not you..."
Mu'er and Ning'er really like Li Anning.
Because she was willing to play those childish games with them.
Li Anning glanced at Fenghuang and Song Jiaren in the pavilion and asked, "What are they doing?"
Li Nuo said: "You will know if you go and take a look."
Li Anning glanced at him, walked over slowly, stood behind the two of them and watched.
Li Nuo grabbed a handful of melon seeds. Li An Ning was looking at the two of them, and he was looking at the three of them.
If the three most famous beauties in Chang'an stood together, he might be the only one who had the chance to appreciate them.
Beautiful things always bring people wonderful enjoyment.
For example, flower arrangement, for example, beauties.
The three beauties are each beautiful in their own way. It is a harmonious and beautiful picture that is pleasing to the eye.
Sadly, such beautiful views don't come often.
Li Nuo thought about it, walked back to the room, and quickly sketched out the outline on the rice paper.
It just so happened that I drew a picture for Li Anning yesterday. In line with the principle of not wasting, I might as well capture the beautiful scene forever while my ability has not yet expired.
After a while, Li Anning walked in, saw the unfinished painting on the table, rolled his eyes at him, and asked, "Why are you painting us?"
Li Nuo said, "I was just bored and just painted."
In the pavilion in the courtyard, Song Jiaren was seriously learning color mixing from Fenghuang.
In the room, Li Anning sat at the table, supporting her chin with one hand, watching Li Nuo painting, with a look of worry occasionally appearing on her pretty face.
Li Nuo glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong? You don't look very happy."
Li Anning glared at him and said, "It's all your fault!"
Li Nuo was slightly stunned: "What's wrong with me?"
He has been very nice to her recently.
He was the one who painted and sent poems, so why is he blamed?
Li Anning looked at him with resentment in his eyes.
After a moment, Li Nuo put down his pen, looking speechless.
It’s really a question of painting and poetry.
As a princess of the royal family, Li Anning did not have a strong presence in Chang'an before.
In the past few years, she has been practicing in the Ministry of Justice, going deep into the grassroots level, trying and investigating cases every day, and traveling between the Ministry of Justice and the Princess Mansion.
Apart from officials in the Ministry of Justice and some officials in the court, few people even knew about this matter. If it weren't for the scandal with him some time ago, the people would not have known that there was such a princess.
Her low-key and simple life came to an end in these few days.
A highly popular poem could make her famous throughout Chang'an in a very short time.
Between Song Jiaren and Jiang Daier, who is the most beautiful woman in Chang'an remains to be discussed.
But the most beautiful woman in the palace is none other than Princess An Ning.
Her appearance and figure are undoubtedly top-notch among the best.
This can be easily verified from officials from the Ministry of Justice.
Gradually, people mentioned her and the other two beauties at the same time, and the three were collectively called the "Three Beauties of Chang'an".
A gentleman dreams of marrying a beautiful lady. Among the three beauties in Chang'an, Song Jiaren is already taken, and no one dares to have any bad thoughts about Fenghuang, as she is the rumored lover of the son of a treacherous man.
Only Princess An Ning is still single.
Excessive discussion has brought her into people's attention.
Some court officials finally remembered, oh, there is such a princess in the royal family.
An eighteen-year-old princess should have been married long ago.
Li Nuo got married at the age of eighteen.
Many more people have already given birth to several children by the age of 18.
I heard that the Ministry of Rites is already selecting a suitable consort for her. In addition to some prominent families in Daxia, princes from some other countries have also expressed their desire to marry into Daxia...
Looking at Li Anning's resentful eyes, Li Nuo was speechless for a moment.
Although she wanted to write the poem herself, if she really wanted to blame someone, she could blame him.
Li Anning glanced at him and said, "I don't care. You help me solve the trouble you caused!"
Because of his previous experience, Li Nuo is actually quite accustomed to Li Anning's unreasonable behavior and feels like he's used to it.
But he is in charge of everything, so how can he control the princess's marriage?
However, getting married at the age of eighteen is a bit early.
Fenghuang is twenty-one years old, isn't she still a virgin?
Everyone has different ideas, so you should listen to her opinion.
Li Nuo looked at Li An Ning and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Li Anning asked, "What do you think?"
Li Nuo asked: "No matter what, you are already eighteen years old. Even if you can solve it smoothly this time, you still have to face it next time. Have you ever thought about when you will get married?"
Li Anning turned around to look outside and said, "I'll wait a little longer."
Li Nuo asked in confusion: "What are you waiting for?"
Li Anning glared at him and said angrily for no reason: "Why do you care what I'm waiting for!"
