Chapter 770 Showing Off the Show 2
The music goes from smooth to climax, and then slowly becomes peaceful after climax. Zhao Zilan's dance moves along with the music, either a clear spring passing through the stone or a wave hitting the shore. At the end, Zhao Zilan's figure quietly rolls down like a petal, and finally, it is frozen in a very soft way.
The last musical sound was settled, and applause rang out in the whole hall. Zhao Zilan stood on the high platform, but did not retreat immediately.
She lowered her head slightly, revealing a beautiful neck, and then said, "The paintings made by the minister are to be dedicated to the emperor and the queen."
Everyone was watching Zhao Zilan dance, as if everyone had forgotten that she was still painting. Suddenly, when she heard her say this, everyone remembered that there was still painting. At that moment, Emperor Longzong suddenly said, "Oh, look, I have forgotten that this girl is still painting."
The queen smiled and said, "Who said no, we are all fascinated!"
When Concubine Sun heard that it was given to the emperor and the queen, her smile seemed to be a little smirk, "Miss Zhao's third lady said she wanted to give the painting to the emperor and the queen? I wonder what paintings did Miss San made?"
Zhao Zilan was still standing in the curtain and whispered a message. A palace servant came inside outside. Everyone saw that the palace servants had sorted out something on the ground. Then, the two of them walked out with a painting together. Seeing this, everyone realized that it was Zhao Zilan who placed the painting paper on the ground.
The whole painting was lifted out, and when everyone saw it, they couldn't help but applaud!
The painting painted by Zhao Zilan turned out to be two plum trees that were born from the same stem.
The snow is covered with red plums, so that's fine. Zhao Zilan drew the two plum trees in a lingering and sad way, and looked like a pair of people leaning against each other. Although they were painting trees, they were painting people at all, which surprised everyone.
"Ah, this is... a plum tree? The plum blossoms are so good..."
"Yes, the emperor, it's better than the Imperial Garden."
When the emperor spoke to the queen, the queen asked again, "Girl, why did you draw a pair of teem trees?"
Zhao Zilan lowered her head slightly, and her beautiful figure looked very pure. After pondering for a moment, Zhao Zilan said softly, "My daughter dare not say it, afraid of offending the emperor and the queen..."
After saying this, the queen looked puzzled, "How did you say this? You painted it so well, what else can you dare not say?"
Emperor Longzong also said, "Yes, what's wrong with saying it? Just say it."
Zhao Zilan hesitated for a moment and then said, "It's... because my daughter heard a story before, and I don't know if it's true."
The queen laughed and said, "What kind of story is it? Let's hear it?"
Zhao Zilan then raised his head, "I heard before that when the emperor asked to marry the queen, he used a picture of plum blossoms to please the queen. At that time, the queen saw the emperor's painting and then fell in love with the emperor. Now, there is a good story of the love between the emperor and the empress."
