Chapter 42 Her Painting Can Actually Attract Butterflies
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Am I talking nonsense? Didn't you draw that Chinese Valentine's Day begging for luck?"
"I drew Qi Qi Qiao on Chinese Valentine's Day, do I miss spring?"
"If you didn't have those dirty thoughts in your mind, would you be able to draw Qixi Festival begging for luck? As the saying goes, you have something to think about every day, and you have something to dream about at night. King Ze read poetry and books. Even a moron like me knows this. Don't you know?
, Tsk tsk tsk, you really can’t look at people just by their appearance. Some people appear sanctimonious on the surface, but in reality... tsk tsk tsk..."
Everyone suddenly realized that they looked at King Ze differently.
King Ze looked at Zhibin and Sisi, but he didn't expect that his heart was so dirty, and he didn't know how chaotic his private life was.
King Ze felt.
As long as he was with Gu Chunuan, a hundred lives would not be enough to make him angry to death.
She could come up with countless twists and turns on a simple picture of begging for tricks on Chinese Valentine's Day, but he couldn't find the words to refute it.
His reputation was completely ruined because of her words.
King Ze was about to get angry, but Eunuch Ma stepped in first.
"Ye Feng painted a picture of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix."
As the scroll unfolded, the audience gasped, and many people even stood up in shock.
Gu Chunuan's eyes also flashed with surprise.
What a picture that is.
Hundreds of birds are flying towards the phoenix on the paper, and each bird is dancing gracefully, as if it is about to spread its wings and fly high.
His brushwork has the right shades of light and dark, seeming to be simple and unpretentious yet embracing the universe. The whole painting is like flowing clouds and flowing water, with myriads of atmospheres.
If you look closely, each bird seems to be soaring continuously, and you can still hear the faint call of the phoenix.
Is this... really just a painting?
Whether they are chess masters or Ze Wang, their paintings can shock everyone if you take them out casually.
But as soon as Ye Feng's painting of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix came out, their paintings were immediately thrown out of the sky.
King Ze's face was a bit ugly, he never expected that he would lose to a commoner.
The chess master only had admiration and amazement in his eyes.
The two talented men of Zhao were already stunned.
"Is this man really just a commoner? The birds he painted seem to be able to fly in the painting."
"Oh my god, I'm afraid we Shangguan masters may not be able to draw such a good picture of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix."
"I can't believe that a commoner has such great abilities."
"He will definitely win first place in the painting competition, and after today, he will definitely become famous all over the world."
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, but Ye Feng was neither happy nor worried. He just stood quietly and waited for the referee.
The Night Emperor smiled and said, "Is Ye Feng the winner in this battle? Do you have any objections?"
Originally, the winner or loser of the competition had to be judged by nine people from four countries, and the person with the most votes in the end won.
But such an obvious result requires no further judgment.
Everyone had no objections and judged Ye Feng to win. They were convinced.
Eunuch Ma raised his voice and said, "The person who wins the painting is Ye..."
"Wait a moment."
Gu Chunuan shouted loudly, "You haven't seen my paintings yet."
Everyone rolled their eyes.
What's so good about her peony flower?
"Third Miss, I'm afraid this treasure of yours is..."
"What's wrong with my painting? Is it not as good as Ye Feng's?"
nonsense.
Put together with the other five paintings, her painting is meant to be funny.
Before everyone finished complaining, they saw swarms of colorful butterflies coming and standing on the peony stamens, as if they were picking peony pollen, and they were reluctant to leave.
The butterflies gathered more and more, and finally the entire peony flower was filled with butterflies of five colors, and many butterflies danced around the scroll.
Everyone was shocked.
Wasn't that peony flower painted?
Why do you attract so many butterflies?
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought that the peony flower was real.
This...this is incredible...
The Night Emperor's childish smile froze, he never expected that there would be such a change.
The chess master was the first to react. He exclaimed, "What a butterfly lover, little doll, how did you do it? I have never heard that someone can attract butterflies by drawing on paper."
"Well...because I'm a good painter." Gu Chunuan blinked his cunning little eyes and smiled inscrutably.
Shangguan Chu, Yi Chenfei, and Ye Feng all looked at the inkstone and seemed to understand something.
Master Xu rubbed his eyes, then rubbed his eyes again, almost unable to believe his eyes.
Gu... Gu Chunuan's paintings can actually attract butterflies...
Oh my God, is she a idiot or a genius?
Gu Chunuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if my Butterfly Love Flower can take the first place."
The Night Emperor choked.
Let alone a painting, even if there are real peonies placed in front of you, it is impossible to attract so many butterflies.
If this doesn't lead to first place, it really doesn't make sense.
Can……
If you really want to be ranked first, wouldn’t that mean you are giving face to the God of War?
The Night Emperor looked at the envoys from various countries and asked, "Who do you think will come first in this painting?"
"This...Ye Feng's painting of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix is delicate and natural. Every bird is lifelike. Even when he is painting, he seems to be spreading his wings and flying high. Moreover, his paintings are majestic and majestic, which is definitely not something ordinary people can achieve.
"
"On the other hand, Miss Gu San's painting is just a peony flower. It is too simple and the painter is average. However, such an ordinary painting can attract thousands of butterflies. It is something that no one else can do. In my opinion
, it is really difficult to choose between these two brothers." The envoy from Chu State said one by one.
Although he really hopes that the chess master can win, but...
The Dou Da Tournament has always been fair. If we blindly protect the chess master, we will probably become the laughing stock of the whole world.
"Master Yi, you are talented and well-read in poetry and literature. Who do you think is better?"
Yi Chenfei said elegantly, "Everyone has his or her own strengths, just like brothers."
Ye Huang was a little disappointed and could only look at Shangguan Chu again, hoping that Shangguan Chu would choose Ye Feng, "What do you think, Master?"
Shangguan Chu frowned slightly and said in a calm tone, "My views are the same as Mr. Yi's."
The officials were talking a lot, some said Gu Chunuan was good, some said Ye Feng was good, and the quarrel was intense for a while.
In the end we had to vote, but the votes were unanimous.
Ye Huang had no choice but to announce, "In this round, Miss Gu San and Ye Feng won together and won the first place together."
King Ze looked at the peony picture and racked his brains to think. He accidentally saw Gu Chunuan's inkstone, and then thought of her pouring honey into the inkstone. For a moment, something flashed through his mind.
King Ze shouted, "Wait a minute, Gu Chunuan is not good at painting at all. She just mixed honey in ink. The butterflies were attracted by the honey, so they came over in groups."
His words enlightened everyone.
So that was the case, they said, how could a mere picture of a blooming peony attract so many butterflies? She was cheating by co-authoring it.
"If that's the case, then Miss Gu San won't be able to get first place in this round." Ye Huang said quickly.
