Chapter 894: An Excellent Touchstone

Yan Shirong said: "Whether you are willing or not, and what you think, just tell Ye Ye directly."

Brother Xiaowu said, "Yeah, yeah, we don't really want to care about this, not because we want to be lazy, but mainly because we feel that this kind of knowledge is useless to us."

Brother Xiaoliu said, "We want to learn the Dali Temple's ability to see through everything, unravel the mystery, and deduce step by step until the truth is revealed... but we don't want to learn how to use dogs."

"It's not that we don't use dogs. If someone has trained them well, we are happy to use them. But we don't really want to know how the dogs were trained to be what they are, and we don't think it's useful."

"Also, what Second Brother said is right. The more you learn, the more you feel that it is not enough. We don't have enough knowledge now, so we will go to the Dali Temple to study during our free days. Normally, we should focus on studying."

Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, "That's right. Go down and have a rest. If you want to go to the Dali Temple after you've rested, go ahead."

They were both delighted, bowed and left.

Emperor Mingpei said to Shen Shouyan with a smile: "The best thing about these children is that they can keep their composure."

He was very pleased to see that she was not in a hurry to do her job, not in a hurry to take on work, did not seek attention, had a clear mind and was able to control her desires.

Shen Shouyan smiled and said, "The little princes are naturally good. They are of royal blood, so they are naturally excellent."

Emperor Mingpei nodded with a smile, accepting this simple compliment.

Then he asked, "So who should we entrust this matter to?"

Madam Lin thought she could, but she was still planning to take the Saker Falcon to fight the Jurchens after the New Year, so she didn't rob...

After a brief silence, Yan Qingshan continued, "I think Second Brother is OK."

Emperor Mingpei raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Yan Qingshan continued, "I think that my second brother is smart and cautious, so maybe you can give it a try."

Yan Shirong listened with a smile.

Now they have no one else to do this but me, so to be frank, anyone can be used.

Marquis Gongke was a very smart man in some ways, had a high level of political sensitivity, and was very loyal, otherwise he would not have trusted his foster father so much.

Many of the crimes he committed back then were actually blamed on the third prince, such as the arrests of Chen Benshan and Shen Shouyan, which are most well-known to the world.

The most important thing is that they have an open feud, and Emperor Mingpei takes them into consideration and will not mention the Second Prince on his own initiative. So why can't they help him for the sake of Emperor Mingpei?

This is very appropriate.

It looks small, but it is very novel. It also involves confidentiality to a certain extent, and is related to "beasts", which will cause some controversy.

It is an excellent touchstone.

Emperor Mingpei didn't give a definite answer, but just said, "Let's talk about it later."

While they were talking, Xinbao was practicing martial arts with a sword beside them. He didn't feel tired at all and kept practicing until noon, and couldn't be stopped.

It was not until the afternoon when calligraphy and paintings from several people were delivered one after another that Xinbao put down his sword and came over to see them with great interest.

Among these ministers, there are indeed many who are good at calligraphy and painting, and now...

How should I put it? Everyone's idea is no longer to find a balance between the cute realistic style that Emperor Mingpei wants and the heroic style that Xinbao wants. Everyone has thrown away their moral integrity and chose to please the little princess without hesitation.

The key point is that the situation at that time was indeed very cool and magical, so everyone's paintings were all grand and heroic. Emperor Mingpei looked through them all and didn't like any of them.

Especially Li Zhizhi!

He drew the people below very vaguely. At first glance, they looked like four pillars, and on top was a female knight, standing on top of a cloud, practicing swordplay. She looked so unrestrained and heroic, and she looked like an immortal who seemed to be flying into the sky... The fusion was just right, but it didn't look like Xinbao at all.

But Xinbao felt that it was exactly like her. This was her! This was what she looked like!

Mr. Li is like a human camera! He captured her style and charm! Xinbao kept saying, "Xinbao is so handsome! Honey, can you frame this? Xinbao wants to hang it in the study."

Yuan Shenjue nodded silently, suppressed his smile and glanced at Emperor Mingpei: "Of course."

Xinbao also noticed Mingpeidi who was sulking, so she ran over to take a look. Mingpeidi didn't even look up, so she started to act cute, tilting her little head to look at his expression from below.

Emperor Mingpeidi was so amused that he put down the painting and nodded at her: "What are you doing?"

Xinbao asked, "Is Yeye unhappy?"

Emperor Mingpei chuckled: "I see these old men are more stupid than each other now, they can't even draw a picture, I get angry just looking at them!"

Xinbao blinked his big eyes and said, "Don't you like the pictures they drew for Xinbao?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Emperor Mingpei said: "I don't like it. It's not a good painting."

"But Xinbao likes it very much." Xinbao thought for a while: "But Xinbao's opinion is not important, Yeye, they are your subjects, Xinbao is just borrowing them for use, so what is important is that Yeye likes it. If Yeye doesn't like it, just tell them to draw something else that Yeye likes!"

Xinbao waved his hand generously: "Ye Ye is their king, and satisfying the king is their honor and duty as subjects!! So if they don't draw well, Ye Ye will ask them to redraw. After a few more times, they will definitely like it! If they still don't like it, it means they are not smart, and Ye Ye will make things difficult for them! This is called the way to rule subordinates!"

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

The old child was inexplicably very happy with what she said, and then he called Fang Wuyou over and really conveyed an oral order to him.

After hearing the oral instructions, the old ministers looked at the people around them.

Tell me, I have a good relationship with the little princess, so I am trying to please her, why are you guys joining in the fun!!

So, could it be that none of the paintings submitted this time are liked by the emperor?

Everyone finally recognized who the leader was and quickly started drawing the type that the emperor liked.

The next day, after Xinbao got up, there were many paintings spread out on Emperor Mingpei's desk. All of them were like fairies, ethereal, cute, and beautiful... Xinbao thought they were beautiful too! They were all beautiful! Every one of them was beautiful! Xinbao nestled in Yeye's arms, looking at them one by one, then touched her chin, thought seriously for a while, looked at Yan Qingshan, then looked at Yan Shirong, and then looked at her wife.

Then she asked, “Do you like this?”

Yan Shirong said: "I like it very much."

She looked at her father again, and Yan Qingshan also said, "I like it very much."

Her wife: “I like it very much.”

Xinbao was very disappointed: "Can't you have a little bit of your own preferences? Don't you have any unique requirements of your own?"

Yan Shirong smiled and said, "That's possible, so what does Xinbao want?"

Xinbao blinked his eyes and whispered, "Don't you think this is a good way to trick people into painting? Suppose, for example, we tell them that Daddy doesn't like the first and second options, then will they draw better ones?"

She patted the painting on the table with her little hands: "Which one is better than the one that has two different looks?"
