Chapter 387: Painting Together
After Li Shiyun and Yu Shichang left, Hanhan called Xiao Cui into the room.
"Here is a thousand taels. If you capture Master Yu, you will not only become his concubine, but the thousand taels will also be yours."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui couldn't help but widen her eyes. She didn't expect that there would be such a good thing waiting for her. It was simply a pie in the sky.
"Thank you, sir. I will try my best to win over Master Yu."
Han Han: "Very good, I will give you 500 taels first, and after you defeat Master Yu, I will give you the remaining 500 taels."
"I obey your command!" Xiao Cui looked at the five hundred taels of silver and was so excited that she cried.
Hanhan glanced at Xiao Cui, then slightly curled the corners of his mouth.
He wanted to see whether Yu Shichang could stand the test.
After Li Shiyun returned, she originally wanted to give some advice to Yu Shichang, but then she changed her mind and realized that lifelong affairs were not a joke. If Yu Shichang really did not keep himself, then she naturally could not marry him.
And so, the next day Yu Shichang and Li Shiyun came to the palace again.
Everything was the same as usual. After Yu Shichang finished moving, he started chatting with Xiao Cui.
Hanhan glanced over there, then said to Li Shiyun, "Didn't you teach your cousin a lesson yesterday?"
Li Shiyun: "What's there to teach him? If he really likes her, I will just help him get married."
Hanhan: "Then it seems that your feelings for him are not very deep, right?"
Li Shiyun: "Even if I marry someone else, I can't just spend a few days with them to try it out."
"My father said that a woman's marriage is a matter of luck. Instead of marrying a stranger, it's better to marry someone you know well."
Hanhan: "So you want to marry him, not because you like him, but because you understand him."
Li Shiyun: "Isn't it the same for everyone?" She seemed a little unnatural when she said this.
"Women don't have much choice in the first place. Marriage is always decided by parents and matchmakers."
Hanhan looked at Li Shiyun and suddenly felt that women like them were indeed quite sad.
His mother didn't want him to get married, and before the time came, she had already found ways to create opportunities for him to get in touch with women.
And men don't have to worry about their reputation; as long as they have power, they can do whatever they want.
"Will you feel bad if you lose?"
Li Shiyun: "Well...it might be troublesome."
Hanhan: “You are very honest.”
Li Shiyun: "Because if I lie, you will criticize me, and then I will have to keep proving myself. I don't want that much trouble."
Hanhan: "That's right. I hate people who talk nonsense the most."
Li Shiyun: "Well, I don't like it either."
After Li Shiyun said this, Hanhan unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth towards her.
Seeing this, Li Shiyun hurriedly lowered her head awkwardly.
After Hanhan noticed Li Shiyun's unnaturalness, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
The two of them were busy for the whole morning and it was finally time for lunch. This time, Hanhan invited them to stay for lunch.
Although Li Shiyun was reluctant, she still stayed.
Xiao Cui was still looking for opportunities to get close to Yu Shichang all the time, and Yu Shichang did not restrain himself in front of Li Shiyun.
Maybe it was because Li Shiyun had never raised any opinion with him about this matter, so he didn't take her feelings to heart.
After the three of them finished their meal, Hanhan asked Li Shiyun to accompany him to the studio, and let Yu Shichang continue to deal with those books.
Since the eldest master had spoken, Yu Shichang naturally didn't dare to say anything, so he went there immediately with a smile on his face.
More importantly, Xiao Cui also went with them.
Li Shiyun knew that the eldest master did this on purpose to create an opportunity for Yu Shichang and Xiao Cui to be alone.
This made her feel that he was even more despicable, and she began to think that she might not win.
The two came to the studio, which contained many famous paintings, all of which were hundreds or thousands of years old.
Li Shiyun was very angry at first, but when she saw these paintings, she was immediately attracted by these famous paintings.
Seeing that she really liked the paintings, Hanhan was willing to take them out one by one so that she could appreciate them to her heart's content.
Li Shiyun also noticed some of the eldest master's own paintings.
She thought he was just a playboy, but when she saw his paintings, she was really shocked.
She had competed with him in poetry before and knew he was very good at it, but she didn't expect that he was also good at painting.
There are very few young men who can be as versatile as him, which shows how good the princess is at teaching.
"Do you dare to compete with me in painting skills?"
Li Shiyun glanced at him, and then immediately said, "Why not?"
"Come here, bring the pens, ink and paint."
"It's the eldest son!"
The two of them went to the garden together and painted the pines and flowers in the garden.
Together they painted from bright sunshine to sunset.
After they finished painting, they looked at each other's paintings.
Li Shiyun's paintings have the softness and beauty that are unique to women.
Hanhan's paintings focus more on the vigor and strength of green pines.
Each of them has their own strengths, and in this competition, neither of them was embarrassed to claim that they won.
Hanhan even said generously: "Miss Li's painting is even better."
Upon hearing this, Li Shiyun also hurriedly said, "No, no, the eldest master's painting is more vivid and lifelike."
After they finished talking, they couldn't help but smile at each other, creating a rare harmonious scene.
Just then, He He suddenly came over.
He widened his eyes and looked at his elder brother with a smile on his face as he looked at Miss Li.
You have to know that he has hardly ever seen his elder brother smile since he was a child.
However, he was actually laughing now, and the other person was a woman.
"Hey, isn't this Sister Shiyun?"
As soon as Hanhan heard the hehe voice, his face immediately fell.
"What are you doing here?"
He He looked at Han Han and blinked: "I just happened to be passing by, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity."
Hanhan: "What's so good about this? Get out of the way."
Seeing this, He He couldn't help but look at Li Shiyun: "Sister Shiyun, I'm sorry to make you laugh, my brother thinks I'm disturbing you..."
Before he could finish his words, Han Han kicked him: "Shut up, what are you talking about?"
Li Shiyun looked at the aggrieved look of the second son and couldn't help but smile.
He He: "Look, Sister Shiyun is laughing at you."
Hanhan: "Just leave now and stop talking nonsense here."
As he spoke he did not forget and kicked him on the butt again.
Hanhan looked at him and pursed his lips. If he could beat him, he would not have tolerated this.
"Just go, really."
"When you get a wife, you forget your brothers."
"Shen He, keep talking nonsense."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Seeing that he really wanted to hit him, He He quickly ran away.
When Hanhan turned around and looked at Li Shiyun, Li Shiyun's expression really became unnatural.
"He's got a bad mouth, just ignore him."
Li Shiyun: “Yeah!”
