Chapter 21 The Princess Learns to Paint
"Chen Fei, are you tired of painting here? You have been painting for three or four hours." Princess Wanchun said to Chen Fei.
But Chen Fei said: "There is no way, you can't do it without drawing!"
Princess Wanchun just couldn't understand why Chen Fei kept painting Xuanwu Gate in the north gate of the palace. The cause of the incident was a few days ago, Chen Fei took the design drawing of the pulley crossbow and the relevant soldiers to show Li Yuan, but Princess Wanchun saw that these paintings were very good. Later, Chen Fei actually offered to do the so-called sketching at Xuanwu Gate. Li Yuan saw that the images of these paintings were realistic, exactly the same as in reality, and was very interested in this way of painting. Therefore, he also agreed with Chen Fei's idea and asked him to sketch at Xuanwu Gate in the north gate.
The paintings Chen Fei used were actually sketches from later generations. When he was a child, Chen Fei enrolled in a painting interest class and started learning from sketches. But later he didn't learn anything, but just practiced some sketching skills. Now he has sketched through these sketches.
However, others don’t know that Chen Fei actually had an idea in his mind. Chen Fei also painted through these sketches, and then drew various scenes of Xuanwu Gate in the north gate of Tai Chi Palace, and then gave them to Changsun Wuji, the intelligence leader of Qin King Li Shimin. Yesterday, Chen Fei sent Changsun Wuji a sample picture to Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji was immediately shocked and was very surprised by this way of painting. Changsun Wuji immediately ordered Chen Fei to draw all the various patterns of Xuanwu Gate as soon as possible. As long as these patterns are available, there will be many benefits for the next Xuanwu Gate mutiny.
This kind of painting is too realistic and can completely let the soldiers under him see it very clearly, and the bricks and tiles on it are very clear, so Changsun Wuji is very clear about the purpose of this kind of sketch. Now, as long as you draw all the situations of Xuanwu Gate, you can increase the success rate of the Xuanwu Gate change by then. Therefore, Changsun Wuji asked Chen Fei to draw these drawings quickly and then send them to Changsun Wuji. Therefore, Chen Fei is also responsible for drawing the drawings here.
As for Princess Wanchun, she was very interested in paintings like Chen Fei. The paintings like Chen Fei made Princess Wanchun, who likes elegant things, also very much likes them. Because in the eyes of ancient Chinese people, the elegant things are piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and some literati poems and songs. Now I have seen a painting technique that is very different from the painting methods in the past, which makes Princess Wanchun really want to learn.
"Princess, what's the best way to learn about this painting? Are those brush and ink landscape paintings more artistic and more beautiful than this? As for these shallow things about me, don't show off in front of the princess." Chen Fei asked.
Of course, Chen Fei didn't want a woman to come and disturb her affairs. After all, Chen Fei is now responsible for drawing various facilities patterns in the space of the north gate of the palace. Where can I teach this princess? And the princess doesn't know what's going on. She has been pestering Chen Fei these days and asking Chen Fei to teach her this sketch. Chen Fei had no choice but to find a way to make this sketch worthless, so that she could kill her heart.
But Princess Wanchun said, "No, I don't think so. The so-called art has never been a distinction between noble and lowly. In fact, even the current poetry was actually a kind of inconvenient thing back then. And many things from the palace in the past have now entered the homes of ordinary people. Therefore, there has never been anything absolutely noble or lowly in this world. Although your painting skills seem very simple at first glance, they have a flavor in simplicity. Since ancient times, our country's paintings have always attached importance to artistic conception, not realism. And you attach importance to realistic, which can be said to be completely different from Chinese paintings. Confucius said back then that there must be my teacher when I go through three people. Now I will learn this new painting skills from you. What's wrong with me?"
Chen Fei had no choice but to say that Princess Wanchun had no borders in art, and that there was no distinction between noble and inferiority. It seemed that Princess Wanchun would not turn back without hitting the wall, and had to learn the sketching skills. The reason why Chen Fei was so reluctant to teaching was that he himself was not very suitable to teach others, because he himself had no experience in educating people.
"Will the emperor agree to Princess, come and learn from me? Princess, you should have a coming-of-age ceremony soon? Is it possible to have such a close relationship with me now? Is it possible..." Chen Fei asked.
Princess Wanchun's face suddenly became silent, and then said helplessly: "It is precisely because of this that my father gave me some time of freedom! If this is not the case, I am afraid I will be waiting for the wedding in the back palace. Although my father has not issued a formal edict to give the marriage, he has already decided on my future husband. I will just wait until I will give the edict in July to officially issue it. Now, my father has decided for me during this period and do whatever I want."
After hearing this, Chen Fei felt speechless. It seemed that Princess Wanchun was not so happy. Although she lived a carefree life when she was a child, she would inevitably be betrothed to those strangers by the emperor when she got older. Anyway, many princesses are used for marriage, and Princess Wanchun probably would not have any chance to escape this fate. In a few months, Princess Wanchun would be officially issued an edict to marry someone else.
The emperor's father, Li Yuan, was quite kind, and gave Princess Wanchun a relatively free time. During this period, Princess Wanchun was able to enter and exit the palace freely and even often left the palace to play in the front palace. This was the privilege given to him by Li Yuan, which was a slight compensation for her.
"Forget it, they are all pitiful people, so it's not difficult for you!" Chen Fei thought.
Chen Fei took the initiative to say, "Since that's the case, the princess will learn this sketch from me during this period!"
Chen Fei doesn't want to destroy a girl's rare free time. Now it is the most precious time in her life, and she chooses to learn sketching from herself, what does Chen Fei not agree to? If she doesn't agree, it is too unkind. How much good time can a person have in his life? So Chen Fei doesn't have the heart to destroy other people's good times like this. This is also Chen Fei's kindness! Anyway, Chen Fei can't tell Li Yuan about free love. If he does this, he is simply a tragic act.
