Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Aye."
"Well," Emperor Ming Yan asked seriously, "Who made this painting?"
"This is a joint work of the four of us!" Tang Shiyue said, "The painting was done by Zhou Zhonglang, the poem was written by Chen Daliang, the calligraphy was written by the teacher, and I..."
Emperor Mingyan interrupted, "You gave it the name!"
"Ah?" Tang Shiyue was amused: "Father, how can you be so good? You guessed it right at once!"
Emperor Mingyan glanced at her and said, "I inferred this from the example of Ding Xiaoyanjun, who was not worthy of the title."
Tang Shiyue couldn't stop laughing.
Emperor Ming Yan was in a good mood, so he said to her, "I'll serve your father with writing materials!"
Tang Shiyue came quickly and ground ink and stretched paper for him. Emperor Ming Yan took off his outer robe, picked up a brush, and began to sketch.
She watched with her own eyes as her little courtyard came out. The young lady sat lazily on the porch, still holding a storybook in her hand. She looked up as if she heard something. Her eyes and expression, although she was wearing men's clothes, showed the young lady's innate cuteness, which really jumped out of the paper.
...
...
Tang Shiyue couldn't close her mouth as she watched.
Then Emperor Ming Yandi changed his brush, dipped it in thick ink, and wrote two large characters in a flamboyant style: "Fu Gui".
Oh, heaven! Oh, earth! What kind of godly father is this! !
Tall and handsome! Warm and doting! Domineering and wise! Can write and draw! A true male god!
She decided that from today on, she would be the Emperor's crazy fan! ! The crazy kind!
Emperor Mingyan stopped writing and looked at it, saying, "I haven't painted for many years, my hands are not good enough, and I have never been able to paint the spirit of my Yue'er."
Tang Shiyue was so jealous that she was almost falling apart: "Aye! You can't be good at everything and do everything so well! If you are a deity, you should keep a low profile! Give us mortals some room to live!"
She hugged his hand tightly like a hamster: "Dear father! Give me some! Just a little bit will do! Why is it that you can do everything, but I can't even write a single word properly!"
Emperor Ming Yan couldn't help laughing: "What are you crazy about, kid?"
While he asked someone outside to serve tea, he lectured her: "You only think about getting something for nothing, and you still blame me for not teaching you. Look at how you have been practicing calligraphy these days, and you have made significant progress."
She stared at the painting: "Ahhh! I want to paint!"
"There's no rush," Emperor Ming Yan coaxed her softly, "Don't be greedy when learning too many things. You have made some progress in calligraphy now, so you should first practice to become famous. If you want to learn painting, there is plenty of time."
"No!" Tang Shiyue said, "I'm good at drawing! Wait, I'll draw one for Aye later."
"Well," Emperor Ming Yan held his forehead helplessly, "Then wait, Aye."
Gu Jiuxing served tea and stood by.
Emperor Ming Yan took it and drank it, and asked, "Did you meet Sanlang and Silang that day? Were you able to talk to them?"
Tang Shiyue said casually: "Are you okay?"
"What do you think of them?"
Tang Shiyue looked at him: "Do you really want to say it?"
Emperor Ming Yan drank his tea and glanced at her, "Speak."
Just say it. Tang Shiyue said: "Except for the Crown Prince, I think the Fourth Master is the best!"
Emperor Mingyan snorted: "He looks good!"
"He's good-looking, but he's also a nice guy, very serious and honest. The Fifth Prince is always smiling and very thoughtful, but I can't tell if he's a good person or not. But the Third Prince is a little harder to describe."
Emperor Ming Yan put down his tea bowl and said, "Oh? How can it be so hard to describe?"
"How should I put it?" Tang Shiyue said, "I feel like he's the kind of person who is only 50% smart but shows 80% on his face. In fact, this kind of person is at a disadvantage... And, don't be angry when I tell you, he gives me a feeling a bit like Yan Tingyue, that is, he is smart, but he just can't control his emotions, so he is often impulsive."
Emperor Mingyan nodded: "That makes some sense."
"Right? Compared to someone like me, who is 100% smart inside and 100% gentleman on the outside, someone like Third Master is at a disadvantage."
Emperor Mingyan put down his tea bowl and scolded with a smile: "You say others are very, very, very, very capable, but you say you are 100% capable, and you still call yourself a gentleman. You are really not modest!"
Tang Shiyue pointed to his head with a smile: "The more pain my father feels, the wiser he becomes."
Emperor Ming Yan laughed out loud, and then burst into laughter.
Manager Gu, who was standing silently nearby, was convinced. Really convinced.
He really wanted to ask Lady Enfu whether she would accept any apprentices. Her speaking skills were amazing! Fortunately, she was not a man, otherwise, no matter the prince or the crown prince, they would all have to stand aside!
Ding Xiaoyan poked his head outside, and Gu Jiuxing went over to ask, then stepped forward to add more tea, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Ding Xiaoyan just came over and said that Yan Shitu has returned with Young Master Rong."
Tang Shiyue just said "oh".
The emperor is here, so of course she has no time to see him, and Yan Shitu can't come in either.
Emperor Ming Yan drank his tea and snorted coldly: "Did you meet them yesterday?"
Tang Shiyue nodded. Emperor Ming Yan said, "It's not that I won't tell you about those things, but..."
"I know!" Tang Shiyue smiled and hugged his arm: "I also hope that Aye only likes Yue'er and only loves Yue'er. I have never understood why I am like this. It turns out that I am like Aye."
Emperor Mingyan burst into laughter: "You are so unique, but you are not following me!"
The more he thought about it, the funnier it got. "I remember that time, I met Sanlang in the Imperial Garden and hugged him. Unfortunately, you were watching him. He was just a little kid, but he didn't want to be held. He cried and asked me to hold him. When I held him, you just looked at me with your little mouth pursed, mumbling for a long time, but I didn't know what you were saying."
Tang Shiyue immediately looked at him accusingly: "You are my father, how can you hug someone else! From now on, you can only hug me, do you hear me? If you hug someone else, I will not like you anymore!"
Emperor Mingyan laughed loudly: "Yes! That's what I should say!"
He had never tried this before, and he strayed off topic while talking, and even talked about a happy situation. He laughed for a long time before returning to the main topic: "I did find out some things about the past."
He whispered to Tang Shiyue.
Tang Shiyue nodded slowly.
She had never actually thought of this possibility before.
One reason was because of Qing Wei’s information, which gave her a preconceived idea and made her remember the charity hall.
Secondly, it is incredible to find a fake that looks so similar. Who could have thought of that?
So she once suspected that they were twins.
Emperor Mingyan said to her gently, "It is easy to summon Jian Yusi, but after your identity is revealed, many things will be difficult to handle."
At this point, his expression darkened: "Yuer, this matter is far worse than you can imagine... much worse. The emperor's uncle is not in good health, so let's put this matter aside for now."
Although Emperor Ming Yan did not say it explicitly, his meaning was very clear. It was probably because the old princess did something.
In this age where filial piety is extremely important, trying to help her break free from the shackles of filial piety is truly for her own good.
Tang Shiyue nodded in response.
Emperor Mingyan said again: "In a few days, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday. You should also go to the palace and kowtow to her."
"Oh!" Tang Shiyue agreed: "Then send a female official to teach me etiquette."
Emperor Ming Yan knew that she did not like to be restrained, and thought that she would be embarrassed and maybe even act coquettishly when she was told to enter the palace. He prepared many words to coax her, but he did not expect that she would agree so naturally.
This child is really something that people cannot help but love.
Emperor Mingyan smiled and patted her on the back: "Good."
