Long Yunfeng didn't return to the royal study after the court session ended. Instead, he looked at the blurry figure in his mind. It was his father's sister, Long Yunfeng's aunt, Long Ruoqing.
Long Ruoqing didn't live in a large palace, but in a small courtyard in the palace. To Long Yunfeng's surprise, the layout of the courtyard was much simpler than his. There was only a stone table and four stone stools on the bare ground, as well as a clear pond on the side. In the pond, a green lotus was slightly slanted by the wind, budding.
It was really strange to have such a small courtyard in the palace.
Other than that, there was nothing else. Moreover, it was too quiet here, as if no one was staying there.
Long Yunfeng swept his gaze across the room, and a warm smile appeared on his face as he walked towards the room in the middle.
Then, he gently pushed open the door.
"Get out!"
Before he stepped in, a cold and emotionless voice came from inside. Then, it quieted down and no other sound came out.
Long Yunfeng didn't stop because of this voice, as if he didn't hear the cold shout at all.
The faint fragrance of a woman's fragrance wafted over. Long Yunfeng took a light breath and swept his gaze across the young lady's room. Then, he looked at the woman in the room who had her back facing them.
She was wearing a light blue dress that covered her legs. Her long black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her waist was slender. Her tall figure was not inferior to Long Yunfeng's.
Long Yunfeng couldn't help but secretly praise her. As expected of one of Great Qin's Five Great Beauties; just her back was enough to attract Heaven and Earth's spiritual energy.
She was only 19 years old, but she had such a figure, which was rare among women.
At this moment, there was a white paper roll in front of her eyes. Her bare hands were gently tracing. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she did not turn around but repeated coldly,"Get out!"
"No matter what, he's still your nephew. A few days ago, not only did you not go to my coronation, but now you're asking me to leave. Sigh, it really saddens me as a nephew.”Long Yunfeng said bitterly as he admired her gentle, fair, and delicate hands, as well as the exposed half of her snow-white neck.
The woman's arm paused and she finally turned around.
Long Yunfeng finally saw her true face. For a moment, he felt the world in front of him brighten up a lot. It was as if a stone had been thrown into the lake in his heart, causing countless ripples.
Her facial features were exquisite, her eyebrows were thin, and her figure was beautiful. Her beautiful eyes looked noble, and her posture was leisurely and otherworldly. She looked like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
Although her light blue dress was slightly loose, her chest was still very high, causing Long Yunfeng's gaze to involuntarily stop for a moment.
However, her face was covered in frost. It was not anger, but an invisible coldness that kept people a thousand miles away.
"You may leave." She glanced at Long Yunfeng and withdrew her gaze. She coldly said these words and turned around again.
Even Long Yunfeng's temperament didn't attract her gaze. It was as if nothing in the world could stir up the ripples in her heart.
Long Yunfeng shrugged his shoulders. Everyone said that his aunt was half a mother, but why was this aunt like an ice sculpture, and the kind that was difficult to melt?
Long Yunfeng looked at the words. The sky was blue and dotted with a few white clouds. There was a clear lake under the sky. The water in the lake was sparkling, and there were fish spitting bubbles and boats swimming. There was a willow tree hanging by the lake, and an autumn cicada seemed to be chirping happily on the branch.
Under the tree, a young girl stood leaning against the tree. There was a faint joy between her brows as she was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of the lake in front of her.
Willow leaves and branches could occasionally be seen on the ground, some of which had already turned yellow.
"System, how many points do I need to exchange for a grandmaster-level painting skill?”Long Yunfeng wanted to show off his skills in front of his aunt, but he didn't know how to draw, so he could only rely on the system.
"It requires 300 points. Do you want to exchange?”
Long Yunfeng felt his heart ache! 300 points were gone just like that. He had become a pauper again, but he did not feel bad and directly exchanged for it.
Long Yunfeng looked at Long Ruoqing and couldn't help but secretly shake his head. Although her brush strokes were skilled, they lacked a spirit of agility. Although the painting looked like a real object, it was a bit rigid.
Perhaps most of the people in this world were like this, even this fairy-like cheap aunt was no exception.
Long Yunfeng said slowly, then shook his head and sighed."Aunt's painting skills are already superb. I believe that there are not many people in this world who can surpass Aunt. It's just…unfortunately, the artistic conception in the painting is too unsatisfactory.”
Long Ruoqing turned a deaf ear and continued to draw lightly with her hands, but her eyebrows twitched slightly.
Long Yunfeng continued," Aunt, is the scenery in your painting still acceptable? But the entire painting looks lifeless. It's so dull that it doesn't feel alive at all. The painting is a mess." It must be known that the willows by the lake were windy. A windless lake was dead water, and a windless willow was dead. The most beautiful breeze by the lake was not reflected in this painting at all. Therefore, this could only be a crude painting.”
Long Yunfeng picked up the brush and lightly tapped the ink. When his aunt wanted to scold him, he drew a slanted willow branch on the willow tree and casually decorated it with dancing willow leaves…
"As the saying goes,'willow branches grow from the west and leaves face the east. The wind comes without quality and is difficult to put on paper. It is described by willow branches. This is the style of willow. Although the wind itself cannot be seen, everyone can see the wind blowing the willows!”
He rubbed the brush again, and the landing point of the brush also began to change. On the surface of the lake, shallow ripples were faintly discernible. "This is a water painting, there is no wind nor waves. Using the ripples to describe the direction and strength of the wind, Young Master Lin actually doesn't even know such basic knowledge?”
In the end, Long Yunfeng's brush landed on the woman under the tree. The brush shook slightly, lifting a few strands of hair.
Then, he stopped drawing and turned around.
"Hair is the same as willow silk, both can be used to describe the breeze. There were clearly so many things that symbolized the wind, but Aunt had painted this painting so lifelessly. She really shouldn't have done it.”He shook his head lightly and sighed.
Long Yunfeng's lips curled into a faint smile. Seeing that the painting was finished, he reached out and picked up the brush, gently dipping it in the ink.
Holding his breath and circulating his Qi, he wrote as if he was flying, the soft tip of his brush moving on the white Xuan paper like a dragon flying in the sky and a crane dancing in the mountains. The ethereal semi-cursive script in his hand was like flowing clouds and flowing water, as if it was made in heaven, appearing at the place where the weeping willows were dancing in the wind.
It was like a gentle breeze and a bright moon hanging in the sky. Without leaving a trace, a poem of Seven Absolutes had already appeared on the paper.
The strokes were vigorous yet ethereal, magnificent yet elegant! Just from these few words, it was filled with mystery and boundless feeling.
Jasper makeup into a tree height
Tens of thousands of hanging green silk ribbons
I don't know who cut out the fine leaves
The spring breeze in February is like scissors
Long Ruoqing's gaze shifted and she started to size up this nephew who was both familiar and unfamiliar.
He still had the face she was so familiar with, but he was a little more mature than she remembered.
He was still overly handsome, but he no longer had that feminine gentleness and weakness. Instead, he faintly revealed an indescribable noble and elegant temperament. There was a natural look of disdain in his expression, as if he never put others in his eyes, but strangely, he did not make people feel disgusted.
The pair of eyes that were originally filled with listlessness and dispirited were now as deep as the sea. When their gazes met, she actually had a strange feeling that she wanted to fall into them.
"Who taught you that?" Long Ruoqing shifted her gaze away and looked at the painting that had just been completed once again, her heart rippling.
She had been painting since she was young, and her nephew had completed this painting in less than a minute. It made her feel that all the paintings she had drawn over the years were unsightly and crude.
"Self-taught! "This was actually a very shallow painting. It's just that aunt didn't notice it. It's getting late, and nephew still has a lot of political matters to deal with. I'll take my leave first." Long Yunfeng didn't give Long Ruoqing a chance to ask him to stay and directly left the courtyard.
" It's a pity that she's my aunt. Sigh." Long Yunfeng turned to look at the courtyard with a bitter expression. He sighed helplessly and left.
