The emperor looked at the painting in silence for a while, then suddenly smiled.

When the ministers saw this, they glanced at the painting, and someone exclaimed in admiration, "It really is Master Shuiyun!"

Su Lin stared at the painting.

The green hills on the painting paper are rolling and the vast rivers and mountains are full of vitality. Although it is majestic, I always feel that something is missing.

The person in the main seat on the high platform seemed unaware and nodded in approval. Su Lin's expression was slightly cold.

The prince frowned, "Father, this painting is wrong."

The Queen's eyebrows twitched slightly, and the Emperor rolled his eyes at the Prince.

Catching a glimpse of the emperor's displeased expression, the fifth prince's lips curled up slightly.

I really don't know whether the prince is deliberately going against the emperor or he really can't read the emperor's instructions.

But no matter which one it is, it will benefit him and not harm him.

"The prince is right."

Xiao Heng glanced at it coldly, sneered in disdain, "Tsk, this painting is too ugly."

The praises at the banquet came to an abrupt halt. Seeing the different expressions of the people on the podium, the ministers were undecided for a moment.

The man in green clenched his fist slightly in his sleeve and glanced at the fifth prince who also had a grim expression.

The Fifth Prince gritted his teeth and said, "My nephew just returned to the capital. I've never heard that my uncle is interested in painting."

"This prince knows very little about painting, but..." Xiao Heng chuckled and glanced at the emperor's sullen face, "There is one person whose research on painting is more sophisticated than anyone here."

"Oh? Who is it?" asked the prince.

Xiao Heng did not answer. Everyone followed his gaze and saw that the woman's dashing riding clothes during the day had been replaced with a purple brocade skirt embroidered with peonies and hundreds of butterflies.

The crescent moon is shining brightly, the purple brocade is gorgeous and dazzling, the black hair is cloud-like, the eyes are full of autumn water, and the beauty in purple is smiling gently. She is as beautiful as flowers and trees piled with snow, and pearls are shining.

Everyone recalled the Qianqiu Banquet, when Su Yuejian used dance steps to paint a picture of the Fourteen States of Beiliang, stunning the audience.

Su Yuejian stood up, walked slowly forward and bowed.

"I had forgotten," the emperor said solemnly, "Minghua is also good at painting."

"What do you think of Master Shuiyun's painting?"

"Nothing." Su Yuejian answered without hesitation, turning to look at the man in green, "Besides, he is not Master Shuiyun."

The woman's amber eyes were extremely clear, and when they looked over, they looked like a lake sprinkled with gold, as if they could see through people's hearts.

"Princess Minghua is exaggerating." The fifth prince looked gloomy.

"It's still enough to comment on him."

"The brushwork in this painting is crude, the colors used on the green mountains are not bold enough, and the coloring of the forests is very messy."

Su Yuejian shook her head and smiled, "This young man does have some talent in calligraphy and painting, but he just blindly imitates others and has lost his own spirit, making him neither high nor low."

Seeing that the man in blue was belittled by her and his identity as an impersonator was exposed, the Fifth Prince was filled with anger.

"Princess Minghua!"

"Does the princess think her painting skills are better than Master Shuiyun's?"

"The Fifth Prince must have been deceived." She laughed, "He is not Master Shuiyun."

The fifth prince sneered contemptuously, "You..."

"Of course I'm sure." As if she had guessed what he wanted to say, she smiled and said, "Fifth Prince, don't be too surprised. I also know how Master Shuiyun paints."

"Minghua, do you know?"

Cai Luan looked at her with bright eyes.

Su Yuejian curled her lips, and everyone looked at her in confusion as she walked to the front of the painting stage.

"this...."

Everyone was shocked to see the purple-dressed woman's wrists as white as snow, her hands covered in paint, painting on the paper.

"Yue'er...didn't open her eyes?!"

Su Lin was so shocked that he half stood up, and suddenly a bold idea popped into his mind.

He was not the only one who had the same idea. Everyone present had a look of shock in their eyes.

The woman closed her eyes and felt around on the paper with her five fingers, but her blindness did not affect her painting speed at all. In just a quarter of an hour, a picture of horseback riding in autumn appeared on the paper.

Xuan Yu and Xuan Shuang held up their paintings and showed them to everyone.

The banquet was unusually quiet, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone opened their eyes wide and watched the vivid work in front of them.

In the boundless wilderness, stained with ink, a rider rides a fine horse, draws a strong bow, and gallops after a deer. The horse's hooves splash yellow dust, and the hunting wind whistles, showing his heroic spirit.

"This style of painting..." The prince's pupils suddenly shrank and he turned his head abruptly to look at Su Yuejian.

Cai Luan's eyes widened in shock for a few seconds, "Minghua, you...what is your relationship with Master Shuiyun?!"

Without waiting for Su Yuejian to answer, Xiao Heng had already walked to her side, holding a wet handkerchief, and gently and carefully wiped the paint off her hands.

The prince's mind raced, "Master Shuiyun never shows up to meet people, and Princess Minghua also rarely went out to meet people in her early years."

"Blind people have extraordinary senses. Shuiyun's paintings are different because they are all freehand. Without the constraints of a brush, they are more flexible and free."

"Master Xie never gets close to women, but he treats the princess differently..."

"You are Master Shuiyun?!"

After cleaning the stains on his hands, Xiao Heng stood behind Su Yuejian as a protector, his eyes sweeping across countless pairs of shocked and curious eyes.

"Really?" Cai Luan took two steps closer, "Minghua, you are Master Shuiyun?!"

Su Yuejian's eyebrows curved slightly, "It's genuine."

The banquet was quiet for a moment, and then it exploded again.

"I didn't expect that Princess Minghua is not only a talented woman, but also the famous Master Shuiyun?!"

"She was painting with her eyes closed just now! Painting with her eyes closed!! This is more than just a talent! And she did it in such a short time!"

"I remember last time Princess Minghua completed a masterpiece that took a painter half a month to create in the time it takes to sing a dance piece. Her skill is truly extraordinary!"

After the emperor was shocked, his eyes couldn't help but darken.

The Fifth Prince's face was even darker on the other side. He had never expected that Su Yuejian was the Master Shuiyun he had been searching for?!

So what was his plan today?! He danced right in front of the real master!

Liang Xinrou caught a glimpse of the Fifth Prince's embarrassed expression, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. She was actually going to marry such a stupid and brainless prince!

After calming down, he spoke softly, "I didn't expect this person to be a fake and deceive the Fifth Prince!"

The Fifth Prince immediately understood and shouted, "You are so bold and cunning! How dare you deceive the prince!"

The man in green had not expected to actually meet the real Master Shuiyun today. He was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. The calmness he had pretended to have before coming in was gone.

He knelt down and bent over, his body shaking.

"Come here! Take this man to the prison and wait for your punishment!"

The emperor ordered angrily.

The man in green clothes shouted for help and kept looking at the Fifth Prince for help, but it was of no avail. The guards ruthlessly covered his mouth and dragged him away.

Liang Xinrou looked at Su Yuejian, jealousy flashing in her eyes, "Today, it's all thanks to Princess Minghua. She was able to recognize him as an imitator at a glance. Could it be that Princess Minghua is also quite knowledgeable about imitation?"

This sentence pointed the finger at Su Yuejian, who was also suspected of counterfeiting and imitating.

The Queen Mother frowned, "Princess Minghua claims to be Master Shuiyun, but does she have any proof?"

"I am the proof!"

A man's gentle voice came from a distance. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. The man had an elegant face, but his white clothes were already dirty and messy, and his body was covered with scars. I don't know what kind of danger he had experienced.
