"Boom!"

Yun Zhining displayed her Qinggong skills and leaped up, her toes touching the drum. Dressed in red, she jumped on each drum with abandon, the drums making bursts of sound as she waved her sleeves. The ends of the drums were dipped in ink and struck on white paper, gradually forming a picture.

"This, this is..."

"The Pine and Crane Longevity Picture."

"Oh my god, I can't even draw such a detailed picture of pine and crane longevity with a wolf hair brush while sitting on a chair, but Ming Wanyi did it while dancing on her palms and waving her sleeves. I really feel ashamed of myself."

"I originally thought that Ming Wanyi only had a pretty face, but I didn't expect that she had such high attainments in painting. No, I have to ask the emperor to give me this painting. I want to take it back and study it carefully, and strive to paint such a high-level painting as soon as possible."

"No, I was the first one to see the painting, so it should belong to me."

"Why?"

"Because I am the emperor's nephew and have the same last name as the emperor."

"I am still the emperor's uncle."

"Have you forgotten that the emperor has to call me grandpa?"

"You are still awesome."

Yun Fulan had prepared for this day for a long time. She thought she would make a big splash and the emperor would be delighted and promote her to a higher level. However, who would have thought that something like this would happen in the middle of the process, making her lose face. However, Yun Zhining stepped on her face and performed a palm dance, winning applause from the whole audience.

This is not fair!

God, why are you doing this to me?

why?

Yun Fulan's face was distorted with anger, but Yun Zhining ended it gracefully.

"Clap clap clap!"

The second prince stood up and applauded excitedly.

"Mrs. Ming's dance is so beautiful, and her paintings are also very beautiful. I really like them. Mrs. Ming, can you give me this painting?"

"You'll have to ask your father about this."

"Is it okay, Father?"

"Of course not."

Qi Yejing refused without even thinking about it.

Are you kidding? Such a good thing should of course belong to him. How can it be given to this bad boy in such a lowly way?

As soon as these words were spoken, the Second Prince's shoulders drooped instantly and his expression became extremely pitiful.

"Father, it's rare that I like a painting, can't you give it to me?"

"You have never liked painting, so wouldn't it be a waste of this painting?"

"In that case, I might as well keep it for myself so I can copy it later."

The second prince was anxious.

"As long as Father gives me this painting, I will definitely study hard to paint and I promise not to disappoint Father."

"really?"

"It really couldn't be truer."

"Row!"

Qi Yejing nodded with satisfaction.

"Dong Ling, go to the storehouse tomorrow to find the original copy of Zhang Zeduan's Along the River During the Qingming Festival, and send it to Changchun Palace. Let the Second Prince study it carefully. In the beginning of next spring, I will personally check his progress. If the results do not satisfy me, I will definitely punish him severely."

"Father, aren't you clearly bullying me?"

"That's right, I am bullying you, what can you do to me?"

The second prince was almost crying because of him.

Yun Zhining couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"Don't be sad, Second Prince. I will draw a new one for you later. I promise it won't be worse than the one I drew with the water sleeves tonight."

The second prince's eyes lit up instantly, but there was still a trace of nervousness and doubt in his heart.

"Empress Ming, you won't bully me like my father did, right?"

"Don't worry, Empress Ming is not someone who goes back on his word like your father."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's breathing held, fearing that Qi Yejing would get angry, but he looked at Yun Zhining with a smile, without any sign of anger.

"Okay, Feng'er, your Queen Ming just finished a dance, let her go back and rest for a while. After she's rested, you two can chat again."

"Father is right, Empress Ming, go change your clothes first, then go back to your seat and rest for a while. Tomorrow I will go to Qingning Palace with mother to see you and Little Grape."

"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Yun Zhining went downstairs to change her clothes, and when she came back she saw Liu Fangyi playing the piano. To be honest, her piano skills were actually quite good, but Yun Zhining's dance on the drum and the pine and crane longevity picture made with water sleeves were so amazing that the sound of her piano seemed dull and could not bring any inner shock.

Qi Yejing just complimented her casually, and in his mind he was still thinking about Yun Zhining's beautiful figure dancing on the palm-sized drum. The more he thought about it, the more itchy he felt. He wished he could end the New Year's Eve dinner right now and take Yun Zhining back to Qingning Palace to enjoy that beauty.

On the side, the queen's eyes became increasingly dim, and her expression changed as she looked at Yun Zhining.

After the song was over, Dong Ling saw that the glass was empty, so he quickly added another glass of wine. Qi Yejing picked up the glass and took a sip. After drinking it, he felt that the taste of the wine was a little wrong. He frowned slightly, and just as he was about to question Dong Ling, he sprayed blood in his face.

Dong Ling was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

The Queen was still reliable at the critical moment. She first ordered people to surround Chonghua Palace, and then sent people to the Imperial Hospital to invite Doctor Song to come and see the patient.

After taking the patient's pulse, Doctor Song breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it’s not a big problem and the head shouldn’t move.

"Your Highness and Queen Mother, don't worry. Although the Emperor has been poisoned, the poison is not serious. Doctor Chen has made pills from the commonly used medicinal soup according to the prescription. They are easy to carry and don't waste time at critical moments. I have also made some simple detoxification pills according to this method. The Emperor will wake up in less than a quarter of an hour after taking the detoxification pills."

"If that's the case, why don't you give the emperor the medicine as soon as possible?"

"The minister obeys the order."

Doctor Song’s character is questionable, but as the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, his medical skills are impeccable. After taking the detoxification pill, Qi Yejing woke up in less than half a minute.

Dong Ling quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake.

"I failed to check the wine that Your Majesty drank, which caused damage to His Majesty's body. Please punish me."

Although Qi Yejing was poisoned, his brain was not damaged. Dong Ling had been with him for so many years and had been through life and death for him. Even if he suspected everyone in the world, he would not suspect Dong Ling.

"Okay, get up, and be more serious next time. If this happens again, I will never forgive you."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely remember this lesson and will never make the same mistake again."

Empress Dowager Xiaoci's treatment of Qi Yejing was meaningless, but she was still worried about Qi Yejing's health.

"Doctor Song, the emperor is fine, how could he be poisoned? What kind of poison did he get? Will this poison have any adverse effects on the emperor's body?"

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager. I will first check the wine that the Emperor drank."

Although Dong Ling said that he did not check the wine Qi Yejing drank carefully, that was just an excuse to confess his guilt. In fact, he would check dozens of times anything that Qi Yejing wanted to use, and there would be no problem at all.

Doctor Song was unwilling to give up and checked the wine glass again, but still found nothing wrong.

This is strange.

In public view, with no one approaching the emperor, how did he get poisoned?
