The paintings from the painting competition are placed in a separate second courtyard in front of the Imperial College. This is a place specially used for exhibitions in the Imperial College.

Entering the courtyard hall, Huang Zhenben, who was sitting in the corner to manage the exhibition hall, was reading a book, but he seemed unable to read it at the moment. He looked up from time to time and glanced at the center of the exhibition hall.

Although some people came to view the paintings exhibited in previous years, but not many people came to see them. Basically, they were only those who loved painting and were interested in paintings of this level; or they were relatives and friends of the contestants.

But this year, thanks to layman Zhiwei, this exhibition hall is the busiest place among all the exhibition halls this year.

But the excitement lasted only a few days. The officials had to go to court and had their own things to be busy with; it snowed heavily the day before, and it was freezing cold. No one who had anything to do was too lazy to go out. I only had to see the painting once.

, once their curiosity is satisfied, people will not come back again.

Therefore, in the last few days of the exhibition, very few people came to this exhibition hall. Previously, four or five people were needed to guard the hall, but now only Huang Zhen and another companion are left.

But for several days in a row, Huang Zhen saw a man with slightly dark skin, tall and straight body, and handsome appearance looking at Zhao Zhiwei's paintings. And every time he came, he stood in front of the paintings for half an hour.

Huang Zhen admitted that the painting was very good and everyone praised it. But no matter how much he liked it, he wouldn't come to see it every day, right?

Huang Zhen worked as a chore in the Imperial Academy and didn't know much about the officials in the capital. Later, when he inquired with his companions, he found out that the person who came to see the painting was Fu Yunkai, the prince of Pingnan Hou, and General Xuanwu, who was in the fourth rank.

Huang Zhen respected these generals who protected his country from the bottom of his heart.

He looked at the exhibition hall and saw that there was no one else except him, Fu Yunkai, and the boy from the Fu family. After thinking for a while, he stepped forward and said, "General Fu."

Fu Yunkai seemed to be awakened from a dream. He was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses.

He raised his hand and said, "Brother, what's the matter with you?"

He knew that this person was in charge of the exhibition hall, but the two of them had not spoken to each other, and he did not know his last name.

"My surname is Huang." Huang Zhen introduced himself, pointed at Zhao Ruxi's painting and asked, "General Fu likes that painting very much?"

Fu Yunkai hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes."

"The emperor also likes that painting, and it has been brought to the palace by the emperor. Once the exhibition is over, it will be sent to the palace."

Fu Yunkai smiled bitterly: "I've heard about it."

As soon as he heard that the painting he liked so much at the auction was painted by Zhao Ruxi, he went to the exhibition to see it on the first day. After reading it, he was struck by his heart. He really liked this kind of wide-open and wide-open paintings.

Thinking again that this painting was painted by his favorite girl Zhao Wu, he couldn't calm down.

Some time ago, with the help of Xiao Lingpu and the girl from the Cen family, he met the girl Mu Ba.

Arrogant, cold, everything overlapped with the girl from an aristocratic family in his impression.

Thinking about his colleague who did not dare to speak loudly at home and was living a miserable and miserable life, he immediately told the second prince that the marriage was not possible.

He didn't dare imagine how someone like Miss Muba would get along with him or his mother when she married into their Fu family.

They are not the same people at all.

Seeing the painting, his obsession with Miss Zhao Wu deepened.

Since he couldn't find anyone, he thought he would buy the painting back if the price was right. But he didn't expect someone from the Imperial College to tell him that the painting had been taken into the palace by the emperor.

So he wanted to watch it for a while.

There were many people in the past few days, but to avoid trouble, he did not come. These days, there are fewer people, so he only comes every day.

He is not just looking at paintings, he is looking at people through paintings.

He wanted to know what kind of person the person who painted this painting was.

"Now that I know, I think that since General Fu likes this kind of painting so much, it is better to ask someone to ask for one from Zhiwei. Mountains and flowing water meet a close friend. If Zhiwei knows that General Fu likes her paintings so much, he might be willing to sell them to the general.

Not even one picture."

Fu Yunkai was startled.

Immediately, he cupped his hands towards Huang Zhenyi gratefully and said, "Thank you for the tip, brother. I understand."

"It's getting late, I should go back. Say goodbye." He hugged his fists towards Huang Zhen, turned around and left.

Coming out of the yard, he said to Chang'an, the young man: "Go to the Suiping residence and ask around. Ask Miss Zhao Wu if she has been out and about recently and when she came out. After you find out clearly, go back to the house and report to me."

Chang'an was startled: "Your Majesty..."

He knew that the prince still missed Miss Zhao Wu in his heart. Especially when he found out that his favorite painting was painted by Miss Zhao Wu, he felt very tortured.

The prince is arrogant and reasonable. So after the Suiping family expressed their unwillingness to marry their daughter to a soldier, he had no intention of asking the Suiping family to marry their daughter to him.

Why did after hearing what the person named Huang said, I suddenly wanted to meet Miss Zhao Wu in person?

After thinking about it, Chang An felt that it would be good to meet him. Whether it was life or death, he should be straightforward and make it clear in person, so that his master would not always think that Miss Zhao Wu was good and look down on everyone.

He immediately went to the vicinity of Suiping Uncle's Mansion, found a street shop that he must pass when entering and exiting Suiping Bo's Mansion, and spent dozens of copper coins to find out about Miss Zhao Wu's travels.

"Ah, you also want to propose marriage to Miss Zhao Wu, right?" The fat restaurant waiter laughed, "After Miss Zhao Wu's paintings became famous, there have been a lot of people coming to ask for her hand in marriage during this period. I still look at it.

They are all from very prominent families."

Chang'an frowned when he heard the news.

Originally, the Suiping family was unwilling to marry their daughter to a soldier. In the past, it was okay, and there were no good people to ask for marriage. Now that there are, wouldn't it mean that there is no hope for the heir apparent?

The waiter said: "But I have to disappoint your master. Some time ago, Miss Zhao Wu went to Beining to go to school. She went out early in the morning every day and didn't come home until almost dark. During this time, the school was on holiday, so she stayed at home.

Went out. I heard that she was ill. She was infected with the disease and caught the cold while serving her grandmother. Dr. Shi has been running to the house many times in the past few days."

"Then do you know that Uncle Suiping's house has engaged Miss Zhao Wu? Which house is it?" Chang'an asked.

The guy shook his head: "I've never heard of that."

"I know." Another waiter suddenly interrupted. But after saying this, he shut up and only looked at Chang'an.

Chang'an quickly took out a handful of copper coins and gave them to the clerk, who then said: "Mrs. Suipingbo has refused all the marriage proposals. She said that she asked a senior monk to tell Miss Zhao Wu's fortune, and that Miss Zhao Wu should not get engaged too early.

We need to wait until later to discuss the marriage."
