Little Xi'er reached up and covered her forehead, blinking her eyes. "Daddy, it hurts!"
"Why don't I feel any pain?"
"Hmph, nyah nyah nyah"
Xiao Xi stuck her tongue out at Qin Jue and then left the art studio.
"Fifth brother, what did you draw?"
Qin Jue held Xiao Xi'er's drawing in his hand, looked up at Qin Jingke, and asked...
"Father Emperor"
Qin Jingke handed his painting to Qin Jue.
Qin Jue glanced at the painting, first offering a slight compliment to Qin Jingke, then continuing to comment on the painting, "Hmm, not bad."
"Is this the afternoon when the eldest brother took Xi'er horseback riding?"
"Yes, Father."
"Let's get ready for dinner."
"Yes, Father."
Although Qin Jue has been much more "loving" towards his sons in recent years, they are still all afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts.
Qin Jingke and Qin Jue spent the most time together, and it remained the same.
"Your subject takes his leave."
Qin Jue nodded, then Qin Jingke placed the painting on the table and left the studio.
Qin Jue looked at the painting Xiao Xi'er had drawn in his hand again.
In the painting, Qin Jue is lying on the stepladder, half-covered by a thin blanket by Xiao Xi'er. Some of his hair is down his back, while some strands have slipped onto his face and neck.
The side window was open, and a gentle breeze blew in, causing some of Qin Jue's hair to move in the wind.
On the right side of the painting are words written by Xiaoxi'er: "My daddy is the most handsome."
Qin Jue couldn't help but laugh when he saw the content of the message and Xiao Xi'er's crooked handwriting.
After laughing, Qin Jue rolled up the painting.
"Take the painting to be framed."
Qin Jue uttered these words, and the envoy who had been hiding in the shadows stepped out and took the painting from Qin Jue's hands.
"yes"
Having obtained the painting, Yan Ke used his light-footed skill to leave.
After watching the guest leave, Qin Jue got up from the stool and walked outside.

"Kitty, when are you going to get married?"
Qin Ruoxi sat on Sha Ting's back and patted Sha Ting's head.
"Then find me a tigress."
"Okay, I'll tell Father when I get back."
"Oh... that's Consort Hua!"
"Kitty, let's go find Consort Hua."
Qin Ruoxi patted Sha Ting's head, and Sha Ting ran even faster, reaching Lu Hua in no time.
"Consort Hua"
"Your Highness"
Qin Ruoxi got off Sha Ting's back and stood on the ground.
"Consort Hua, what are you doing here?"
"Just wanted to wander around."
After listening, Qin Ruoxi nodded. Then, she looked up and saw Zhang Shuhao, and said to Lu Hua...
"Master has arrived."
Lu Hua also looked in the direction Xiao Xi'er was looking. When she saw who it was, Lu Hua froze, her eyes fixed on Zhang Shuobo.
When Zhang Shuhao saw Lu Hua turn around, he was completely stunned.
"Master, shall we paint here this afternoon?"
"Keke will be here soon."
Qin Ruoxi didn't sense anything was wrong. Instead, she ran up to Zhang Shuhao, tugged at his sleeve, and asked...
"Since...since the princess wants to paint in the Imperial Garden, then let her paint in the Imperial Garden."
"Yes, yes, I knew Master was the best."
After Qin Ruoxi finished speaking, she pulled Zhang Shuhao to sit on a bench inside the pavilion.
"Princess, everything is ready."
"Okay, I'll put it here."
"Yes, Princess."
Suanshu arranged all the drawing tools Qin Ruoxi needed in the places Xiaoxi'er had indicated, and then stood aside.
"Consort Hua, why are you still standing there? Come and sit down!"
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Lu Hua didn't hear Qin Ruoxi calling her. It was only when Qingyun tugged at Lu Hua's sleeve that she came to her senses and went into the pavilion to sit down.
"Master, this is Consort Hua."
Qin Ruoxi introduced Lu Hua to Zhang Shuobo, and after that, she introduced Zhang Shuobo to Lu Hua.
"Consort Hua is my master. She is an exceptionally skilled painter, the number one painter in Fenglan!"
"Really? That's amazing!"
Lu Hua didn't look at Zhang Shuhao, but instead smiled at Qin Ruoxi as she answered her question.
"Especially the lavender field painting that's in the very center of my master's studio."
"That painting is so beautiful."
The top is covered with purple lavender, and there are many butterflies on the lavender.
"However, one downside is that one section of the lavender field looks like it's sunken in."
Qin Ruoxi continued talking to Lu Hua, initially speaking proudly of Zhang Shuhao's painting of a lavender field, but later her tone softened with regret.
Therefore, Qin Ruoxi didn't notice at all that when she described the lavender field, both Lu Hua and Zhang Shuhao showed stunned expressions.
Zhang Shubo hadn't expected Qin Ruoxi to tell Lu Hua about the lavender field.
Lu Hua, however, hadn't expected Zhang Shuhao to still have that painting, and an idea slowly began to take shape in her mind.
"Hey, Master, Ke Ke is here!"
Qin Ruoxi stood up and waved to Qin Jingke who was walking over.
Qin Jingke quickly arrived before Qin Ruoxi. After the palace servants had laid out the painting tools for Qin Jingke...
Qin Ruoxi and Qin Jingke then began their painting session for the day.
Lu Hua accompanied Zhang Shuhao throughout the painting session that day, and unlike before, Zhang Shuhao didn't only stay for about an hour.
