Chapter 96 Marry You
Xie Jingmo tutted his words, "Your son has poor taste. He likes short, stupid, plain-looking, flat-bodied men who can't even fart with a stick."
The Queen Mother: “…”
If the child wasn't her own, she would have killed this unruly person!
But the Queen Mother held back and let out a long sigh.
Asked, "You are being so specific, but you already have a girl you like in your heart."
Xie Jingmo stood up and said, "No, but if you look for it according to this, I promise to find it for you."
After saying that, Xie Jingmo left.
The Queen Mother took a deep breath.
Where can she find a daughter-in-law who is short, stupid, plain-looking, flat-bodied, and can't even fart?
Xie Jingmo went to the emperor.
"Are you all useless?! We've even taken the portrait and searched for the person, but you can't find him?!"
Xie Jingmo glanced at Wang Hao who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.
"Jing Mo, you've come just in time. Look at these dogs and slaves. What have they done? They brought a bunch of portraits for me to look at. I finally found a good one and asked them to find it for me, but now they say they don't know whose daughter it is! So, did this portrait come out of thin air? It's ridiculous!"
Xie Jingmo glanced at Wang Hao. Wang Hao was already old and had been with the emperor since he was very young. Now he was kneeling on the ground, trembling.
Wang Hao looked at Xie Jingmo as if asking for help, "General, it's not that I'm not doing my best. The girl in the portrait isn't registered in the Ministry of Rites. I've searched everywhere, but I still don't know who she is."
The emperor sat on the dragon throne and waved his hands, "Stop talking about this, Jing Mo, please help me and find the person for me."
Xie Jingmo didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he casually said, "I'm busy these days. The emperor should ask someone else to look for it. Don't delay the emperor's business."
In the whole world, perhaps only Xie Jingmo dares to speak to the emperor like this.
The emperor frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.
Pointing to another minister inside, he said, "Li Minghai, you handle this matter for me."
Li Minghai immediately responded, "Yes!"
Li Minghai lowered his head and took the portrait away.
After coming out of the palace, Li Minghai caught up with Xie Jingmo who was walking in front and said with a smile: "General Xie, you gave me this good job."
"General, you may not know that the Emperor has been fascinated by the woman in this painting lately. This mission won't be difficult. If you complete it successfully, the Emperor will surely reward you."
Xie Jingmo chuckled when he saw that Li Minghai held the scroll in his arms as if it were a treasure.
"This girl must be in the capital anyway. I'll dig deep to find her!"
Xie Jingmo nodded, "Then congratulations to Master Li first."
Li Minghai smiled, and his old face turned into a flower.
After Xie Jingmo came out of the palace, he went straight back to the military camp.
As a result, just after sitting down for a while, Deputy General Gao rushed in, panting, pointing outside, "General!"
Xie Jingmo glanced at him calmly, "What? Did the sky fall?"
Deputy General Gao's face was filled with despair! "The sky has really fallen! Yun Zhao's portrait is plastered all over the streets, and many officers and soldiers are carrying the portrait and going door to door looking for him!"
Xie Jingmo stood up instantly, "What!" He subconsciously thought that the palace knew that Yun Zhao killed Chen Tingting.
"No, not that, it's the Emperor!"
Xie Jingmo frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
Next second.
Then he heard Deputy General Gao say, "The Emperor wants to take Yun Zhao as his concubine!"
Xie Jingmo's brows sank when he heard this! He pushed Deputy General Gao aside and walked out.
Deputy General Gao yelled, "I don't know who brought Yun Zhao's portrait to the palace, and the Emperor took a liking to her! He immediately said he wanted her to be his concubine. What should I do?"
Xie Jingmo walked to the gate of the military camp and heard Deputy General Gao slapping his thigh, "This is like the sky is falling!"
Xie Jingmo rolled his eyes.
Said to Deputy General Gao: "Call out all the brothers!"
A moment later, Deputy General Gao led his men out of the military camp in a mighty procession.
The portrait had just been put up and was torn off before it could even get warm.
Li Minghai was still not happy enough, and he froze in his tracks, "General Xie, what's wrong?"
Xie Jingmo had a blank expression on his face. He took the painting from Li Minghai's hand, along with the painter, and carried it away. "Don't worry about this. I'll take care of it."
Li Minghai's eyes widened immediately. "Hey—" He chased after Xie Jingmo. "Why, General? You were the one who refused this lucrative position in front of the Emperor. Why are you changing your mind now?!"
Li Minghai had a sad face.
Xie Jingmo remained stern and unfazed, "I regret this. Tell your people to withdraw. I'll find the woman in the portrait and speak to the Emperor."
Li Minghai stood there, looking at the torn portraits, and looked at Xie Jingmo's back in confusion, "General, if it were you who was looking for them, you wouldn't have to tear up all these portraits on the street!"
Xie Jingmo didn't even turn his head, grabbed the painter's collar and strode forward.
Arrived at the military camp.
The painter smiled and asked Xie Jingmo, "General, don't worry, I can draw portraits very quickly. Whether you want one hundred or two hundred, just say the word and I'll keep them for an hour. The entire streets and alleys of the capital will be filled with the portraits of the nobles in the paintings."
Xie Jingmo smiled coldly, revealing a sinister smile.
The smile on the painter's face froze.
Xie Jingmo casually picked up a dagger beside him, put it against the painter's neck, and smiled gently, "You are very good, but you don't have to be so good, understand?"
The painter looked horrified and shook his head.
Xie Jingmo whispered, "First, the speed doesn't need to be so good. Second, the painting doesn't need to be too lifelike. It needs to have that kind of beauty that seems to be there and not there, and is close yet distant."
Painter: “…”
Xie Jingmo: "Come, draw a picture for me."
The painter painted very quickly indeed, and a portrait of Yun Zhao came to life on the paper.
Xie Jingmo frowned and pointed at his eyebrows. "Are you trying to fool me or the emperor? Who can have eyebrows that are so neat and regular?"
The painter trembled his brows, very afraid of death, "Then...according to you..."
Xie Jingmo picked up the pen and wrote it down in no time.
Painter: “…”
Xie Jingmo sat aside tiredly, "Draw according to this."
The painter held up his brush and looked at the painting in front of him.
this……
yes……
Close yet distant?
Looming?
But this is not a person at all!
The painter timidly turned his head and glanced at the majestic general. "Um... General... let's just say, I don't remember much else, but this girl didn't have such a big mole on her face."
Xie Jingmo played with a sharp dagger in his hand, and said nonchalantly, "Really?"
The painter was about to say, "Yes."
Xie Jingmo sneered, revealing his white teeth. His smile was cold and filled with murderous intent. "How about you think about it again?"
Painter: “…”
A few seconds.
Painter: "You have the final say."
