I'm even the same as my sister...

The Queen Mother's mature and beautiful face was full of embarrassment, she didn't dare to look at Dongfang Liren's expression, and said softly;

"What, I just have nothing to do and just draw pictures..."

"I see it."

"Ah? Did you see it? Then what..."

Dongfang Liren was really not able to offend the Empress Dowager who was interested in painting. She glanced at the scroll with eyes full of praise:

"Although it is a casual work in my spare time, it has the style of everyone. The artistic conception of 'common people living a hard life' can be said to be vividly written on the page..."

?

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes to glance at her masterpiece, and then looked at Dongfang Liren, whose eyes were full of praise. Her eyes first showed relief, and then gradually turned into grievance and resentment:

"Li Ren, this painting is an imitation of the one in your study. It's a very handsome young man with a big bird..."

??

Dongfang Liren's expression of approval froze, and he looked at the scroll carefully...

Does it matter?

Apart from one person and one bird, do the composition, artistic conception, and painting skills have anything to do with it?

If Ye Jingtang looks like this, then I saw her taking a bath the day before yesterday, and she probably wouldn't be able to walk out of Canyang Pool standing...

However, when he saw the Queen Mother pouting her lips and looking like she was about to become depressed, Dongfang Liren reacted very quickly and nodded slightly:

"I can see it. Well... when I painted that painting, Ye Jingtang had just entered the capital. He only had two taels of silver in his pocket and had trouble eating. Well... my original intention was to paint the ordinary people who had just entered the capital to make a living.

"It's not easy. Unfortunately, the style of painting is too high-minded, too far away from the common people, and not down to earth, so I couldn't draw it. This painting of the Queen Mother is just right and wonderful."

"..."

The Queen Mother is not stupid, and she is self-aware. She can hear that Li is complimenting her.

But no matter how compliment you are, there is always a pinch of truth in it, right?

The Queen Mother was flattered and came closer to look at her carefully:

"Really? Can you recognize who it is?"

Dongfang Liren wanted to praise him a few more times, but he couldn't hold it in, so he smiled and said:

"Appreciating paintings requires a certain standard. Everyone has their own opinions. I can recognize them at a glance."

The Queen Mother was dubious: "Well...if the person in the painting saw this painting, do you think he would be able to recognize it?"

I don’t think I can…

Dongfang Liren really didn't want the Queen Mother, who had been lonely in the palace all the year round, to be unhappy, so she thought for a while and said;

"He is just a martial artist, so he cannot understand the artistic conception in the Queen Mother's paintings. But if you look carefully, you can still recognize it."

ah……

The Queen Mother thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"I still think your paintings are beautiful, and I have always wanted to learn them, but I can't get the essence of them. How about you call the guard over and let me practice my painting skills while standing outside?"

It was rare for Dongfang Liren to see the Queen Mother being interested in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she did not refuse:

"There is something going on at Ye Jingtang's family. I have to leave Beijing for a while. When he comes back, I will ask him to come over and let the Queen Mother paint well for a few days."

The Queen Mother was very happy to be coaxed, and she was not in a hurry. Perhaps she was afraid of being embarrassed, so she took Dongfang Liren's arm and walked towards the garden:

"That's okay. I'm very interested in painting recently. You can stand here and let me draw a few pictures of beauties. I just happen to be able to help you with the tasting..."

Beauty pictures...

Dongfang Liren was not sure that the Queen Mother could distinguish between male and female.
