The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

"Isn't it Xie Jiusi?" The emperor's face darkened slightly.

Cai Luan nodded, and the Queen Mother asked in confusion, "Who is Princess Xihe's ideal husband?"

Everyone's eyes fell on the woman in red in front of them.

"There are two types of people this princess loves most in her life. The first is a stunning beauty."

Cai Luan curled her lips, glanced into the distance, raised her eyebrows, and met her clear eyes. Su Yue saw the corners of her eyes slightly raised.

"The second one..." She raised her lips and smiled, "It's the peerless talent."

"The man this princess wants to marry is the most talented person in these four countries—"

The banquet was unusually quiet. Su Yue's eyebrows moved slightly, and she remembered Cai Luan's praise of Xie Jiusi on the Mid-Autumn Night, and her eyes trembled suddenly.

Her moon...could it be...

Sure enough, the next second Cai Luan said, "Mr. Shuiyun."

Master Shuiyun?!

Everyone was dumbfounded and looked at her in disbelief. Xiao Heng raised his eyelids slightly, his dark eyes swept across Su Yuejian's surprised expression, and fell on Cai Luan's face full of longing.

There was an uproar at the banquet.

"Mr. Shuiyun? How could it be Master Shuiyun?"

"Master Shuiyun must be at least sixty years old. How could Princess Xihe fall for an old man?"

The audience was buzzing with discussion. Upon hearing this, someone asked in confusion, "Who said Master Shuiyun is an old man? No one has ever seen Master Shuiyun's true appearance in all these years."

"Yes, Master Shuiyun is extremely talented, and maybe he's also an extremely handsome man!"

"Look at Princess Cailuan's expression. I think this is very possible!"

Various speculations continued as everyone looked around the table. If they were to talk about someone related to Master Shuiyun, it would have to be Xie Jiusi. But for some reason, Xie Jiusi was nowhere to be seen at the banquet.

Looking at the empty table, everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity.

"So, Princess Cailuan has met Master Shuiyun?"

The emperor was also curious about who this world-renowned Master Shuiyun was.

Cai Luan's eyes dimmed slightly. Xie Jiusi had originally promised to tell her the identity of Master Shui Yun today, but...

"This princess doesn't know yet, but the only suitable husband for me is Mr. Shuiyun."

"Father," the Fifth Prince stood up and bowed, "Perhaps I can fulfill Princess Cailuan's wish."

The emperor was puzzled, "What do you mean by that, Old Five?"

Xiao Chengzhi smiled broadly, "While I was traveling, I happened to meet a good friend who is extremely talented and intelligent."

"By chance, I learned his identity. He is none other than the renowned Master Shuiyun of Tianjin!"

"It's no coincidence that Princess Cailuan mentioned it."

"Oh?" the emperor asked, "There's this matter too. Where is he?"

"I was planning to introduce him to the Emperor tonight. He is already waiting outside the enclosure."

"Please come in!" the emperor laughed loudly.

Su Yuejian raised her eyebrows and looked at the Fifth Prince's confident look, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Everyone stretched their necks to look outside.

Not long after, a man in a blue shirt came slowly over. His clothes were like flowing clouds, his face was calm and gentle, his temperament was humble, elegant and noble, and his every move was relaxed and at ease.

The man saluted, his voice as clear as a spring in a valley, "I, Shuiyun, pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live His Majesty."

"Are you Mr. Shuiyun?"

Cai Luan stared at him curiously, with a gleam in her eyes.

The man responded calmly, "Exactly."

The emperor looked at the people below the stage. He was upright and generous, standing quietly below the stage, exuding the air of a hermit who was at peace with the world.

The prince frowned slightly, "You said you were Master Shuiyun, do you have any proof?"

"Old Master Xie, do you recognize this person? Is he Master Shuiyun?"

Seeing that Xie Jiusi was not there, everyone had to turn their attention to Old Master Xie. After all, Shuiyunjian was the Xie family's property.

Rumor has it that even the head of the Xie family has never seen Master Shuiyun's true face. Although we don't know whether it is true or not, it is a fact that the Xie family has been friends with Shuiyun for many years, so at least they have some connections and can recognize people.

"This……"

Old Master Xie's eyebrows were twisted into a "川" shape. He stroked his gray beard and shook his head.

"I am free to come and go without any worries. Shuiyun itself is the proof, no proof is needed." The man in green answered slowly.

The Fifth Prince smiled crookedly, "Master Shuiyun has created countless works of art. His calligraphy and painting are unique and unmatched."

"Since my brother, the Crown Prince, has doubts, how about asking Mr. Shuiyun to draw a picture on the spot as evidence?"

The prince nodded, and the emperor's silence was his consent.

The palace maids brought the four treasures of the study. The man in the blue shirt rolled up his sleeves and picked up the brush, writing on the rice paper with great enthusiasm, splashing ink with his brush. After a while, he stopped writing.

The palace maids held up the rice paper, and the handwriting on it was elegant and graceful, with a coherent and lively momentum.

"The crane lives a thousand years, and the pine tree blooms eternally." The man in green bowed and said, "I wish our emperor a long life and eternal youth."

Su Yuejian glanced at the poem. The handwriting was imitated very well, so well that it was indistinguishable from the real thing.

His eyes drifted, looking at the Fifth Prince who was looking smug on the podium, and a dark color appeared between his brows.

The fifth prince raised his eyebrows. He had already made preparations for both scenarios and would never let the Tianxin Lotus fall into Xiao Heng's hands.

After all, compared to the prince, Xiao Heng is an existence that cannot be underestimated.

"Father, please take a look."

"Well, well, well, you are worthy of being Master Shuiyun!"

The emperor nodded in approval, "Master Shuiyun's calligraphy and paintings are all transcendent and have been honed over the years. I never thought Mr. Shuiyun could be so young."

The ministers nodded in agreement, looking at the man in green with eyes full of admiration and respect.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "He is such a handsome man, Princess Cailuan, you have really good taste."

Cai Luan stood up and circled around the man in green twice, her clear eyes full of inquiry.

I walked up to the palace maid and carefully examined the poem on the paper. The handwriting...

Turning to look at the man in green, her eyes darkened.

"You are not Shuiyun."

"What did the princess say?" The man in green remained calm and was about to start a defense, "I..."

"This princess will never admit her mistake."

Cai Luan's eyes were determined. "This princess has never seen Shui Yun's true appearance, but the handwriting is wrong. Although it is 90% similar, the strokes and the lines are very different. It's stiff and disconnected."

Upon hearing this, the prince stepped forward and looked at the poem carefully again. It was indeed as Cailuan said, and a gloom covered his face.

Xiao Heng spoke slowly, "Master Shuiyun is most famous for his superb paintings. I wonder what kind of skills he uses to create such vivid and lively paintings that no one can imitate."

Lifting his eyelids slightly, he looked at the man in green, "How about Master Shuiyun paint a picture himself so that everyone can feast their eyes?"

The palace maid moved quickly, preparing the ink and color painting. A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the man in the green shirt, but it disappeared in a flash. The emperor on the high platform looked at him with a majestic gaze, and the man's palms were slightly sweaty.

The man was in a dilemma. He glanced at the platform, pretended to be calm, turned around and walked to the desk to pick up the pen.

The smile on the corner of the Fifth Prince's mouth froze for a moment. He had learned from the information gathered by his subordinates that Princess Xihe did not like reading and had mediocre talent, but he did not expect that she was so sharp-eyed that she could tell at a glance that this was an imitation!

This was someone he had spent a lot of effort to find. There was no one else in the entire Tianjin who was as skilled in imitation.

The Fifth Prince secretly glanced at the person in power and calmed his mind. The Emperor would never let Xiao Heng get the Tianxin Lotus. As long as the Emperor approved, there would be no problem.

A whole stick of incense had passed before Su Yuejian yawned, her eyelids twitching. She forced herself to keep her head up and look, and the man in green clothes in the distance finally put down his pen.
