The daughter of the emperor is reborn, and the evil prince loves her very much

Qiao Sheng looked at the painting with admiration, "Yes, I didn't expect it to be brought here. I hope he can find the right person for it today."

After Qiao Sheng finished speaking, he wanted to take the two of them away, but Qiao Yu was unwilling to leave. She looked at Qiao Sheng with an indignant look on her face, "Brother, can you be more ambitious? You've been asking about this painting for so long, wanting to buy it, but you've never seen it before. Now that it's been taken out, why don't you hurry up and go up?"

Qiao Sheng's cheeks flushed slightly at what his sister said, and he gently tapped her forehead with his hand. "Don't you even look at the people up there? They're the better painters in Chengping. I, your brother, just like painting, but I'm not good at it. It would be embarrassing to go up there."

Qiao Yu looked at her brother. In view of his inaction, Qiao Yu stamped her feet in anger. "If you don't go, I will. At least there is a possibility."

Qiao Yu didn't care where she was, she was really not stage-shy at all. She had been well versed in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. She just didn't believe that if she tried her best, there would still be no hope.

As soon as Qiao Yu raised her foot, Chu Ci pulled her back. "With your skills, if you go up there, you'll be completely beaten. Do you really want that?"

Qiao Yu nodded continuously, "Sister Chu, you don't know, my brother really likes this painting, and has been looking for it for several years. I'll go up and give it a try. At least there's still some hope."

"It also saves you from regretting it later."

Chu Ci pulled Qiao Yu behind him and put everything in his hands into Qiao Yu's hands. "Let me go. You got eliminated in the first round! Let me do it."

Just as Chu Ci was about to go up, Qiao Sheng grabbed her wrist and shook his head at her, "Actually, I don't really like it either. Forget it. There are too many masters up there. Even if I go up by myself, I don't have much hope."

He didn't want to embarrass the girl he loved, he couldn't bear it.

Qiao Yu wanted to argue a bit more, but Qiao Sheng gave him a sharp look and Qiao Yu shut up instantly.

Chu Ci smiled and shook his head. "It's okay. I haven't done it in a long time. This is a good opportunity to see if my painting skills have improved."

Neither Qiao Sheng nor Qiao Yu understood the words Chu Ci used, but with so many people watching, they didn't delve into it and just looked at her worriedly.

As luck would have it, this scene was seen by a pair of eyes in the distance. He was furious, his eyes red with anger. He wanted to go over and tear off the severed hands on Chu Ci's wrists.

It was only when the servant next to him reminded him that he finally stopped, "Master, we still have something very important to do here."

Seeing Qiao Sheng quickly take his hand away, Cang Mo sat back in his chair, but his expression was obviously not as relaxed and lazy as before.

His eyes were fixed on the man's hands, as if if the man did anything inappropriate again, he would strike with a palm and break the hands first.

Chu Ci went up to the ring and looked at the handsome men and beautiful women standing there. He didn't know many of them, and of course he didn't understand their skills even more.

The old man nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the people who came up to participate in the competition. When he looked at Chu Ci, he was very confused.

But the doubt soon faded away. He walked to the center of the ring and glanced at everyone. "I believe everyone has seen this painting. This is our reward today."

"Next, let's talk about the rules of our painting. They're not too complicated. Those sitting in the main seat are our judges today. These gentlemen and ladies standing here are today's contestants. Whoever is favored by our judges and selected as the best will become the master of today's painting. Are there any other candidates who would like to participate?"

The area below the arena was already surrounded by a crowd, but no one dared to step forward and join in. After all, there was a huge gap in educational resources between the common people and the officials.

Besides, those standing on the stage are already the best in calligraphy and painting. If the others, including the housekeepers, young ladies and young masters, go up there, they will be courting death.

One of the ladies, who was wearing a bright red dress, looked unhappy when she saw Chu Ci coming up.

She stood up and pointed at Chu Ci, "Wait a minute, old man, she can't stand with us and compete. She doesn't deserve it."

Chu Ci looked at the figure in confusion, and after thinking carefully, he thought that he must have seen her around the Grand Princess, but he had never offended her. Why did he do this? And in front of so many people.

"Miss, I don't know why I can't stand here. What? Is there a sign saying I can't participate?"

The old man next to her was also very puzzled by the young lady's behavior. "Young lady, I'm organizing this competition to find some talented painters. This is not the place for you to play around."

Qiao Sheng noticed the opinions of several people on the stage about Chu Ci. Not wanting her to get hurt, he walked over, stood beside her, and asked softly, "Xiao Ci, why don't we leave first? I don't really like this painting either."

Chu Ci shook her head. She had been bullied her whole life in her previous life. In this life, she would do her best to bully back. Even if it didn't work now, there was still a future. "No, I want this painting!"

Seeing that Chu Ci was unwilling to come down, Qiao Sheng glared at his sister for the first time. It was all her fault for talking too quickly, otherwise this situation would not have happened.

The young lady in bright red took a step outside and shyly approached Qiao Sheng, "Isn't this Mr. Qiao? Do you know this little bitch?"

Qiao Sheng pulled Chu Ci behind him and held her tightly. "So it's Miss Shen. Miss Shen is a lady from a wealthy family with strict upbringing. In a place with so many people, you keep calling her a little bitch, especially when you're describing such a beautiful lady. It seems inappropriate."

Shen Jingyan pointed at Qiao Sheng and said, "How dare you protect her? Do you know the consequences?"

Qiao Sheng stood straight, protecting Chu Ci tightly. "Consequences? What consequences could there be? Miss Shen, in public, cursed and threatened people. Do you know the meaning of these words? Did the Shen family teach you that?"

Miss Shen was so angry that she stamped her feet, but she didn't dare to say anything more. In front of so many people, she was indeed wrong and it really damaged her image.

If her father knew about this, she would definitely be punished.

"Everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the Chu family has been as dumb as a pig since she was a child. Everyone knows that letting her participate is a waste of our time."

Qiao Sheng glared at them. Although he was angry, he also knew that the rumors were indeed true.

He turned around and looked at Chu Ci worriedly, "I don't want this painting anymore. Let's leave, okay?" Qiao Sheng's voice was filled with concern and temptation.

Although it can be seen from the perspective of medical skills that Chu Ci is not as Fangzi said, he is still very worried about his painting skills.

Chu Ci patted his shoulder and walked out from behind Qiao Sheng, "I admit that I am as stupid as a pig."
