Chapter 319: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Sixty-eight)

Cui Li and his group arrived at the bamboo garden in a low-key manner. The breeze was blowing gently, and the bamboo forest was rustling. The green leaves and sunlight were playing with each other.

Gu Chongyi was painting. She carefully observed Cui Li, then glanced at the bamboo forest and noticed the shadows of the bamboo on the ground.

Cui Li: "Are you done? You've been painting for half an hour."

Gu Chongyi quickly asked, "Are you tired, Sister Cui? You'll be fine soon."

Gu Chongyi put down his brush and looked at the beauty in the forest in the scroll. The artistic conception was perfect and he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He picked up the wet scroll and ran to Cui Li to ask her to appreciate it.

Gu Xiaoyu's paintings are typical Chinese paintings, focusing more on freehand brushwork. The facial features of the beauty can be seen to be very delicate, and her hair bun is not complicated. The most eye-catching thing is the beauty's elegance and unrestrainedness lingering all over her body.

Cui Li: "Sister Gu is a real master at painting. Can you give me this painting?"

"Of course, Sister Cui also gave her a painting."

Gu Xiaoyu smiled and looked at the scroll. She was amazed by herself. She didn't expect that she would perform so well today. She was so happy!

She looked at a portrait that had been painted next to her. The painting made her lively and cute, with dimples on her face. What a beauty! She was about to fall in love with herself!

"Sister is truly knowledgeable. She even knows the painting techniques of foreign countries. This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a lifelike painting. It feels like I am coming alive in the painting."

Cuiyun and Douzhi were nodding frantically beside them. The Gu Chongyi in the scroll was so lifelike and lifelike that he was completely different from the wanted portrait in the yamen.

Cuiyun was not exaggerating. In the past, she had seen that the people in the wanted portraits could never be apprehended, so she thought that either the criminals were really cunning and sharp, good at hiding, and had accomplices to protect them; or the features in the portraits were too vague, and if the person changed his hairstyle or clothes, he would probably not be recognized; or the reward was too low and not attractive enough.

Cuiyun felt that if this painting skill could be popularized in the government office, it would be of great benefit, but she just thought of it suddenly and did not bring it up at this time.

Cui Li smiled and explained to them the key points of this painting technique, and also gave them a brief talk about the production process of the brushes. This was something she learned in the modern world, and she found it quite interesting.

"These foreign things are really interesting. Sister Cui, I heard there's a kind of mirror that can see very far. It's currently being used by His Majesty in the army. We ordinary people don't have this thing. Have you seen it in the palace?"

Cui Li: "You mean the telescope? It's really handy for spying on the enemy. If you want to see it, I'll tell His Majesty. You can go to the Rare Treasure Pavilion and take a look. There are quite a few foreign items there."

"Really? That's great! Thank you, Sister Cui."

She was chatting and enjoying the scenery when she suddenly noticed a few people passing by and was about to leave quietly.

Cui Li: "Who is that over there? Is she also your Majesty's concubine?"

Gu Chongyi looked over with a smile, but the smile soon disappeared.

"Why am I so unlucky to meet her?"

Cuiyun was also shocked. Yes, how could she be so unlucky!

Gu Chongyi quickly said, "Sister Cui, you have lost your memory and don't know that this is Ji Zhaoyi Ji Wei. She is good at hiding her emotions and likes to watch the fire from the other side. Don't look at her delicate appearance, she has many little thoughts. She and her elder sister are both princesses of the Ji Kingdom, but she is a concubine princess, and her elder sister Ji Mingyue is the eldest princess. We are all talking behind her back. Her elder sister is just a cosmetician, probably because of her."

Cui Li: "Well, thank you Sister Gu for your advice, I'll keep it in mind."

The person over there happened to make eye contact with the person in the pavilion. After being discovered, he came over slowly with helplessness.

"Zhaoyi Ji pays homage to Concubine Cui. May Concubine Cui be blessed with good fortune."

Cui Li: "So you are Ji Zhaoyi. I heard that you are a princess from the Ji Kingdom and have an older sister? Why don't I see you two sisters traveling together?"
