Chapter 87 This is really my baby and His Royal Highness
Chu Xingchen was able to do it so smoothly because she had traveled before, where the ancient papermaking process was completely preserved, and she had personally experienced the entire process.
The paper she made is thicker, whiter and better than the existing ones. Although Chu Xingchen feels that it is much worse than modern paper, the quality in this era is amazing enough. The most important thing is that the cost has been greatly reduced. .
Shen Cangzhu pointed at the paper and asked directly, "Does His Highness plan to use this paper to solve the scholar's sit-in issue? If these papers are made public, it can indeed divert attention and get through this crisis."
Chu Xingchen nodded, "Shen Zijun guessed half of it right, but don't worry." She had other plans.
"You guys should try this paper first to see if it's easy to use. I'm going to continue drawing today. I also want you, as the first batch of users, to talk about your feelings after using it."
"Of course it will work. If such good paper doesn't work, it must be because of the people!" Ling Zhou replied immediately.
Shen Cangzhu and Xiao Wang couldn't wait to try it out, and the results were very good.
Shen Cangzhu raised his head and looked at Chu Xingchen, "Your Highness, how many surprises do you have that we don't know about? Do you know what these papers mean?" This is destined to shock Chu and the world.
"Not much, but I can give you a surprise later. You can look forward to it. Now let's draw first."
Chu Xingchen was a little embarrassed to be praised. She also knew that the reform of paper would have many impacts, but she did not invent it. She just copied the wisdom of her ancestors.
Chu Xingchen walked towards the snowmen happily, "Can I stand here? How long do I have to stand?"
"It won't take long. Your Highness will come back to warm himself by the fire soon. Don't freeze." Shen Cangzhu spoke first.
Xiao Wang followed closely, "Yes, Your Highness, you can come back."
Lingzhou, the only bad student: "...Yes, come back quickly and you can draw together." Anyway, he couldn't draw well even if he didn't look at Chu Xingchen.
Chu Xingchen was very interested. Although her painting skills were really limited and she could only draw similar emoticons and cartoon versions, everyone had drawn them and she wanted to draw them too.
The four of them immediately immersed themselves in painting. Well, they didn't bury their heads either. Chu Xingchen kept peeking at the four of them, and Lingzhou also kept peeking at Chu Xingchen.
An hour later, when it got dark, the paintings were completed one after another. Shen Cangzhu and Xiao Wang were so stunning that Chu Xingchen had the same feeling after seeing them.
"Why am I so beautiful? I look so beautiful in your paintings." Their paintings actually have a one-click beautification effect.
Lingzhou took a look and quietly hid his painting behind his back, "It's just average." It's not any better than other people's paintings.
"Can you see it? I'm obviously very beautiful in the painting. I look like a fairy."
Chu Xingchen couldn't put it down and looked at it again and again. Shen Cangzhu and the others were also looking at it.
Shen Cangzhu looks better overall. Chu Xingchen in red is very beautiful in his paintings, with a fairy spirit, and the snowman adds a bit of childishness.
In Xiao Wang's painting, she is the focus of the painting, and the snowman is just the background. In the painting, she smiles like a flower and is so beautiful.
"If I look at it a few more times, I will become obsessed with myself." This is better than millions of retouchers. "I have to calm down. Lingzhou, show me your painting."
"Calm down, why do you want to look at my painting? I haven't finished it yet..."
Ling Zhou didn't want to take it out, but he didn't escape in the end. Chu Xingchen couldn't stop laughing when he looked at Ling Zhou's paintings, because Ling Zhou's paintings were abstract.
The people in the paintings are all stick figures, and she can only identify herself by the red color.
"Ling Zhou, you and I are evenly matched, but this little snowman is quite cute and round."
Lingzhou looked at the little snowman pointed by Chu Xingchen, with a flash of discomfort in his eyes. He heard the palace people talking about it, saying that it was Chu Xingchen's future little highness.
He knew that it was the little snowman made by Chu Xinghai, but after listening to the palace people's discussion, looking at the little snowman, he couldn't help but think how great it would be if Chu Xingchen really gave birth to such a cute little person in the future.
Of course...it would be better if it was the little doll he put in it.
Because of this idea, when he drew the little people, he drew them well, and he didn't want to draw other people who were an eyesore, so he drew everything else very sloppily, wishing they were not there, and just wanted to have him, Chu Xingchen, and the little baby.
But he must not let Chu Xingchen or anyone know this thought.
"The paintings I drew are naturally cute." Ling Zhou's face felt a little hot, so he tried to hide it and went to get what she drew. He snorted after seeing it, "Yours is just a little bit better than mine."
He looked at it carefully, "But seeing that you drew me, I can barely forgive you for laughing at me. Is this me?" The corners of Lingzhou's mouth turned up quickly, "This face is too round, not powerful at all."
"This is the cute version." Chu Xingchen drew all three of them into the painting, and he was also in it, and there was even Zhou Buyan in the corner.
Her paintings are not complicated, but vivid, and everyone can recognize them at a glance.
Shen Cangzhu and Xiao Wang looked at her painting for a long time without moving or speaking.
Chu Xingchen was helpless, "I know it's ugly, I just won't draw it in the future."
Shen Cangzhu pressed the painting and said, "No, I just thought it was interesting, so I took a second look at it." He nodded at Chu Xingchen, "You can tell it's His Highness at a glance."
"It's really interesting." Xiao Wang also said, he never knew that he could be so small and cute.
However, Chu Xingchen was very self-aware, "Thank you for your encouragement, but I know that your paintings are the best, and the next step is the gifting process."
Chu Xingchen looked at the rubbish paintings painted by himself and Ling Zhou, "The quality of the paintings varies. In order to ensure fairness, and to avoid snatching away the paintings painted by Shen Tiejun and Xiao Shaoqing, let's draw lots to see our luck. Whoever draws whose painting will be the winner."
Who collects it?"
As a result, Chu Xingchen's cartoon version was drawn by Shen Cangzhu, she also drew Shen Cangzhu's, and Xiao Wang and Ling Zhou drew each other's.
Chu Xingchen was pleasantly surprised and felt sorry at the same time, "Shen Zongjun, you seem to be unlucky, and you got mine. I thought it was only fair to let Lingzhou get mine. After all, we are the only ones who are ugly."
Shen Cangzhu's eyes surged, "How come, I like His Highness's paintings very much." He is not unlucky, but very lucky.
Chu Xingchen knew that he was being polite and looked at Xiao Wang, "Xiao Shaoqing, you and Shen Bianjun are not very lucky."
Xiao Wang smiled, he was not very lucky, but Shen Cangzhu was very lucky.
Lingzhou was unhappy when he heard this, "Your Highness, why do you always belittle me? If that doesn't work, I'll trade with Shen Bianjun and exchange Xiao Wang's painting for your painting."
Chu Xingchen doubted, "Are you willing to change? Won't you regret it?" What she painted is completely incomparable with what Xiao Wang painted.
"Of course I do." Lingzhou immediately wanted to change. Shen Cangzhu put his hands behind his back and hid Chu Xingchen's painting behind his back.
"Whoever draws it belongs to whoever draws it. It's better to abide by the rules of the game."
Lingzhou curled his lips, he knew it, but looking at the look of Chu Xingchen painted by Xiao Wang, he was still satisfied after all.
Chu Xingchen felt that Xiao Wang was the most aggrieved, so he asked Xiao Wang to go to the study to pick out some paintings. Xiao Wang shook his head, "No, if your highness is really sorry, why don't your highness paint another one for me."
"Did I draw it? You really like it?" Chu Xingchen couldn't believe it.
"nature."
"Okay, I'll give it to you!" Xiao Wang liked it, and Chu Xingchen was very happy.
Lingzhou hurriedly said that he liked it too, but Chu Xingchen slapped him away, "Don't make trouble, you disliked me just now."
Lingzhou stamped his feet in annoyance.
Chu Xingchen was so excited that he painted another one that night. Unfortunately, he accidentally dropped the ink and it was ruined. He had no choice but to scrap it and put it aside. When he had to clean it up in late winter the next day, he couldn't find it.
At the same moment, Zhou Buyan took something out of his arms, smoothed it out, and then hid it in a box in Tao Ranju.
A bunch of red candied haws can also be seen vaguely in the box.
