The next day, King Duan took the painting he had drawn yesterday and brought Teacher Li to the palace to meet his brother.
"My brother Zhao Ji greets the emperor. Long live my emperor!”King Duan and Li Shishi kneeled down as King Duan spoke.
"The two of you rise. Little brother has redrawn the painting of a beautiful woman.”Song Zhezong asked.
King Duan and Li Shishi stood up and sat diagonally opposite Song Zhezong. King Duan picked up the painting in his hand and walked towards Song Zhezong. He then unfolded the painting in his hand for Song Zhezong to look at.
Song Zhezong carefully examined the painting in King Duan's hand, nodding and pointing at it, saying,""The painting this time has improved a lot compared to the last time. It also looks more like the girl beside you. It can be seen that this time, the painting is drawn with her as a reference. The painting is naturally not bad, but there is still room for improvement. For example, the outline of the face. There are some details that are not shown here, and the hair and hair accessories are also a little rough. You must be patient when painting hair. The more realistic the hair is, the better. It is like the hair of a real person!”
"En, this minister's younger brother will still work hard to practice painting when he goes back. According to what the emperor's elder brother said just now, he will work hard to improve and definitely satisfy the emperor's elder brother!”King Duan said.
"Alright!" Song Zhezong said.
"We'll take our leave first!" King Duan left Song Zhezong's study room with Li Shishi. King Duan's painting from yesterday was left in Song Zhezong's study.
Then, they went to the Empress Dowager's Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.
"My son Zhao Ji pays his respects to Empress Dowager Xiang. I wish Empress Dowager Xiang a long life!”King Duan and Li Shishi knelt down again.
"Both of you, get up!" She said to the Empress Dowager. She didn't cough today. It seemed that her cold was much better.
"Is Empress Dowager Xiang feeling better today?”King Duan asked.
"It's all thanks to the chicken soup Ji 'er gave me yesterday. After this widow drank it, I felt much better. Today, my cough has also improved a lot.”He said to the empress dowager.
"This is the best. Chen 'er hopes that the Empress Dowager will be healthy!”King Duan said.
"Then many thanks, Ji 'er is really filial, this widow is really touched!”He said to the empress dowager.
"En, then I won't disturb the Empress Dowager.”King Duan left the Empress Dowager's Palace with Li Shishi.
Then, they returned to King Duan's Yide Hall. Li Shishi was kneeling on the ground. King Duan said,""Let's go practice martial arts!"
They came to the left side of the courtyard where they practiced martial arts. There were some martial arts equipment there.
King Duan first stood in front of a wooden dummy and then began to make wooden dummies. There were a total of six wooden dummies, and each wooden dummy was about five feet apart. The structure of each wooden dummy was slightly different. King Duan spent an hour making wooden dummies, and he was sweating profusely.
Li Shishi picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off King Duan's face.
"Sister, why don't you try to make some wooden dummies too?”King Duan said to Li Shishi.
Li Shishi hit the wooden dummy a few times. She felt her arm hurt and didn't want to hit it anymore.
"This wooden dummy is too hard. Shishi hit it a few times and my arm hurts!”Li Shishi said.
"Hehe, you need to practice more. It won't hurt if you hit more!”King Duan said.
Then, King Duan came to a horizontal bar, grabbed it, and began to do twenty pull-ups.
"You should do some pull-ups too!" King Duan said.
Li Shishi walked to the horizontal bar. King Duan picked her up and grabbed the horizontal bar. Then, King Duan let go.
Li Shishi tried to pull it up, but her body couldn't. Perhaps her arm strength was too weak.
Thus, King Duan carried her up, and Exemplary Lee followed suit, completing a pull-up.
"You need to practice more. After a few more days of practice, you'll be able to pull it up yourself.”King Duan said to Li Shishi.
King Duan picked up a sword from the side and started practicing his swordsmanship against a large wooden stake. He stabbed, hacked, hacked, picked, and raised. Master Li didn't know what swordsmanship King Duan was practicing, but she felt that the swordsmanship he was practicing was different from the swordsmanship Qiao Feng had learned from Wuliang Mountain.
"Let's go back for dinner. We still have to play Cuju in the afternoon!" King Duan said after he finished practicing.”
The two of them returned to King Duan's mansion for lunch. After lunch, Master Li returned to the Virtue Hall to rest.
After a short rest, Master Li came to the front yard of King Duan's mansion from the Hall of Virtue. She saw King Duan and the others playing Cuju.
The few of them played very lively. Everyone ran and shouted. The Cuju ball was passed around by them. Sometimes it would fall on someone's feet. Then, that person would show his footwork and pass the Cuju ball out.
The ball was flying horizontally in King Duan's direction. King Duan saw that the ball was flying a little high, so he ran quickly in the direction of the ball. He wanted to control the ball with his legs and stop it near his knees. However, he was running too fast. He stepped on another person's foot and fell down with a plop.
"Ouch, I sprained my ankle. It hurts!”King Duan sat up and hugged his right foot with both hands, crying out in pain.
Seeing that King Duan was injured, Li Shishi quickly ran to him and kneeled on the ground to help him massage his injured ankle.
"Lafu, hurry up and take out the medicinal wine to treat bruises and swelling, and the pills to promote blood circulation!”King Duan said to Lafu.
Lafu immediately went into King Duan's residence and searched for a while before handing a bottle of medicinal wine and pills to Master Li.
Master Li helped King Duan take off his shoes and socks. After that, she opened the bottle cap and poured some medicinal wine onto King Duan's feet. After that, she smeared the whole of King Duan's injured right foot. After that, she put the pill into King Duan's mouth.
Li Shishi handed him a bowl of water and fed it to King Duan. King Duan swallowed the pill with the water.
"Help me back to my room to rest!" King Duan said.
Li Shishi helped the injured King Duan up. At this moment, Lafu also walked over. King Duan placed his left hand on Li Shishi's shoulder and his right hand on Lafu's shoulder. He followed the two of them as they hopped into King Duan's residence.
Inside, King Duan wanted to go to his bedroom on the second floor to rest, but Teacher Li said,""King Duan is injured, so it's not convenient for him to go upstairs or downstairs. Why don't you stay with Shishi for the next few days?”
"Yes, alright!" The three of them entered the Hall of Virtue and helped King Duan to sit on the bed.
After King Duan sat down, Lai Fu left the Hall of Virtue. Master Li said,""King Duan, Shishi will play a few songs for you!”
"Sure, I want to hear you play and sing!”King Duan said.
Master Li picked up the Solitary Serenity and placed it on the table. Then, she sat on the chair and began to play the song.
She first sang Liu Yong's " Butterfly in Love with Flowers ".“
I lean against a dangerous tower, the wind blowing gently. I look forward to the end of spring, and the sky is dark and gloomy. the color of the grass, in the misty light's afterglow. I have no words to say, but who will follow my will?
I'm going to get drunk with my wild mind. To drink and sing, to force music is tasteless. my belt is getting wider and wider, and I never regret it. I'm so haggard because of you."
Then he played and sang "Youth Tour".
on the ancient road of Chang 'an, the horses are slow. the tall willows are in disarray with the chirping of cicadas. Outside the sunset birds, autumn wind on the plain, eyes broken four days hanging down.
Gui Yun left without a trace, where is the previous phase. It was not like last year that the drunkards were desolate.”
After singing a few songs, it was time for dinner.
