Chapter 24 Unauthorized

Ah Feng came back just to help his master get a file. Although he was not very anxious now that he was stopped, he didn't want to stay any longer. But just as he was about to refuse, he saw a beautiful woman walking behind Xiang Nong.

He paused, remembering his master's attitude towards this person, and immediately stood up straight and bowed: "Miss Shen Er."

Shen Xian nodded and asked, "Isn't your master at home?"

Ah Feng shook his head.

"What has he been busy with lately? I've been looking for him for a long time but can't find him, do you know?"

Ah Feng frowned and hesitated for a while: "I'm just a servant, I don't dare to reveal my master's movements at will."

"My young lady is not a bad person, she just wants to bring some food to see the prince." After speaking, she shook the food basket in her hand and said, "This is the most famous cheese on Muzhi Street. We I’ve been waiting in line for a long time.”

Ah Feng was still a little hesitant.

Shen Xian glanced at the thing in his hand, raised her eyes and asked, "But has the prince encountered any difficult case?"

Ah Feng felt that Shen Xian was the young lady of Duke Dingguo's palace. Duke Dingguo had always been loyal, and she was so sincere to her master, so she simply said: "It's not a problem, I just let an important criminal go, but I saw the criminal at that time." No one in the world can remember what that man looked like, and even if the city gate is now sealed, the painters from the Ministry of Punishment have not been able to draw the face of the criminal and capture him."

Shen Xian nodded and asked, "What about the prince?"

"In Dali Temple."

"Why don't I go and help? Although I am not as experienced as the painters from the Ministry of Justice, I have also learned how to draw portraits. I'm not sure if I can draw them."

Ah Feng hesitated for a while.

Everyone in Kyoto knows that Miss Shen Er's paintings are outstanding, but they just don't know if the master will be angry if he takes someone there without authorization?

When he looked up, he saw two pairs of expectant and bright eyes looking at him.

I'm sorry, Master.

-

In fact, Ling Bu often went to the morning court, and the place where he stayed the longest was the Dali Temple. Because he was more serious and old-fashioned, even the decoration and construction seemed to be spotless, as if there was nothing to be seen here. The things that make you feel happy are all things that make you feel frightened.

When Ah Feng brought her into Dali Temple, those people only dared to wait for them to pass by and peek at her, but they couldn't help but mutter in their hearts why a beauty came to their monk temple?

Originally, Shen Xian wanted to come to Shi Ling directly, but she didn't expect A Feng to actually take her to the studio.

At this moment, there was a painter in the house who was busy painting. When he looked up, he saw a girl with a puzzled look on her face. Until Ah Feng asked someone to get her drawing paper and brushes, everyone was shocked to realize that this was a job-stealing job.

"Miss Shen Er, these two are the jailers who met the criminal at that time. If you have anything to ask, just ask them."

Shen Xian nodded, and Xiang Nong immediately put down the food basket and stepped forward to unroll the scroll for her, then lowered her head to rub the ink, looking extremely skilled.

But most of the painters around were older men. Seeing what Shen Xian was wearing, they knew she was an official girl. They thought she was just having fun, so they all looked here with the mentality of watching a good show.

Shen Xian ignored him and said, "Tell me the facial features of that person."

Those people had said it hundreds of times in the past few days, so they spoke very skillfully. At the same time, Shen Xian immediately picked up the brush and started painting according to the characteristics they mentioned.

Ah Feng did not wait all the time, but quickly sent the things his master needed.

At this moment, Shi Ling was looking at the list in the study. When he looked up and saw Ah Feng coming, he immediately frowned and spread his hands to read the information: "Why are you here so late?"

Ah Feng licked his lips guiltily: "This subordinate brought Miss Shen Er without authorization."

"Shen Xian?"

Shi Ling's eyes were displeased for a moment, and then he immediately dropped the information in his hand and asked, "Why is she here? Why didn't she come with you to see me?"

Ah Feng: "Master, please calm down. The painters have been unable to paint that man's face. Keeping the city gate closed is no solution. I heard that Miss Shen Er's paintings are the best in Kyoto, so I brought her here to try."

Shi Ling pointed at Ah Feng with a frown, and asked in a low voice: "Who told you to be so good at making decisions? Who is Shen Xian? You brought her to Dali Temple at will. Do you think you have lived too long? "

"My subordinates dare not!"

Shi Ling puffed up his cheeks, swung his sleeves and left the study. Ah Feng immediately followed him. When he realized that he was going to the studio, he hurriedly followed.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard someone shouting from inside: "It looks like it! It does look a bit like it, but there are still some things that are not quite right."

Shen Xian's voice came again: "Then think about it carefully and see if there is anything wrong. Compare it with the paintings of several other masters and let's take a look."

Shi Ling paused in his steps and looked up through the gap in the door frame to see Shen Xian having a heated discussion with several painters. He never put down the brush in his hand. When the jailer said something was wrong, he immediately picked up the pen and started to make corrections.

Look, there are already several scattered on the ground.

Ah Feng was also shocked. Not long after he left, Miss Shen Er's speed was as fast as that of their Dali Temple painter.

Looking at the prince's face, he didn't seem to be very angry anymore.

As the jailer pounded the table excitedly, someone pushed open the door and ran out with a painting. As soon as he went out, he saw Shi Ling standing at the door with an expressionless face. He was so frightened that he almost squatted on the ground.

Swallowed his saliva: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

When Shen Xian heard the word "Prince", she immediately raised her head and met her eyes. Shi Ling's eyes seemed to reveal a touch of joy.

Shen Xian immediately raised her lips and tilted her head, and said to him: "Your Majesty, I have drawn the person you are looking for."

The implication is that this girl is of great use.

Shi Ling lowered his eyes to look at the painting in the man's hand. The latter immediately reacted and handed it over. Shi Ling just glanced at it and immediately handed it to A Feng and said: "Tell me to go down and ask someone to copy a few paintings immediately. Everyone takes the paintings." Take her, I will see her in the prison tonight."

"yes!"

As soon as A Feng left, the painter beside Shen Xian also returned to his post in a polite manner. Shen Xian saw Shi Ling waving to her.

That look and gesture seemed to be fishing for her.

But she, Shen Xian, really fell for this, and walked out after a while.

"Your Highness is looking for me?"

Shi Ling looked at her: "Aren't you looking for me?"

Shen Xian pouted: "It turns out that the prince knows that I am looking for you. It's a pity that I have been looking for you for so many days and there is no news."

"Then you are very smart and know how to come here." After saying that, he couldn't help but frown: "Aren't you afraid that you will be detained as a criminal?"

Shen Xian shook her head indifferently: "Does the prince know it?"

Shi Ling didn't answer, turned to look at her drawing papers scattered on the floor, and asked, "How did you draw it?"

"People with slender eyebrows usually have more protruding cheekbones. If the rest of the facial features are really ordinary and you can't remember them, it means they are not very refined. If you draw more, you can guess a thing or two. Also, if you are tall in life, you must have a short neck." It will be short, oh, it’s not a big deal actually, just you’re familiar with it.”

Although she spoke in a low-key and tactful manner, Shi Ling could clearly see the proud look on her face, and Shi Ling couldn't help but curl her lips and smile.
