Afternoon painting lessons.
The Third Prince's painting is exceptional, and this is what he prides himself on the most.
His maternal family, the Wang Family, is renowned for their calligraphy and painting. His mother, Consort Shu, is also proficient in painting, especially portraits. Before entering the palace, she was a famously talented woman in the capital. While still unmarried, she enjoyed painting for friends and family. Her portraits were so lifelike that they resembled the person exactly. At that time, many noble ladies in the capital sought her paintings.
