Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Wu Qingjin was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Qiao Jianer to make this request. For a moment, she didn't know whether to agree or not.

"this--"

"Qingjin, you said it yourself that the opportunity to visit Prince Guangping's Mansion is rare, so why not let Jianer take a look? It will be more lively with more people around." Qiao Zhizhi said.

Wu Qingjin thought, it was just a showroom visit. If she refused outright, it would seem suspicious. Everyone knew that Qiao Jianer was an extremely powerful person, so she had better not trigger her suspicion.

A cheerful smile appeared on her face. "Okay, we're going to the art gallery at Prince Guangping's mansion to look around. It's part of our circle's hobby. I didn't know the princess had this plan before, so I just said I'd take Zhizhi with me. But if I tell her later, Prince Guangping shouldn't mind. The princess is a distinguished guest and is always welcome wherever she goes."

From what he said, it was clear that Qiao Lian'er was not suitable to go.

Qiao Jian'er had just spoken out to test the waters, just to see Wu Qingjin's reaction. Since Wu Qingjin was unwilling from the bottom of his heart, she certainly wouldn't shamelessly follow him, lest it make everyone uncomfortable.

Painting is indeed a culture that belongs to the circle, but Wu Qingjin's attitude just now was not about being uncomfortable with outsiders joining, but an indescribable vigilance.

Qiao Jianer laughed out loud: "I'm just kidding, I don't know how to draw. You guys go ahead and come back soon."

Wu Qingjin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I also wanted the princess to go with us, but I never thought she was joking and trying to make us happy."

Qiao Zhizhi thought that Qiao Jian'er was really going, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. She watched Qiao Jian'er enter the room and was about to speak when Wu Qingjin grabbed her hand.

"Zhizhi, let's go. Don't keep Prince Guangping waiting too long."

"Okay." Qiao Zhizhi knew Qiao Jianer's personality well. If she said she wouldn't go, then she wouldn't go. But if she really wanted to go, no one could stop her.

Qiao Jianer, wearing an invisibility cloak, followed the two of them into the carriage.

"Zhizhi, I have an idea."

"Qingjin, you speak." Qiao Zhizhi listened attentively.

"As for your art exhibition, don't rush to tell your family yet. Wait until you become famous. It will be like giving them a surprise. That's what we call a good thing."

Qiao Zhizhi thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

"Also, the current painting style has changed. You should paint more of the painting method I taught you. It would be best if 60% to 70% of the paintings on display. If you feel you don't have enough time, you can use your previous paintings to further refine them. You will get twice the result with half the effort."

Qiao Zhizhi asked, "When will the exhibition be held?"

"Probably in a couple of days. Go see the studio first, get a rough idea of ​​what's going on, and then make your preparations."

Qiao Zhizhi thought that she could paint five paintings a day, and there would be a lot of people coming to the exhibition, so the exhibition had to be of a certain scale. It would not be enough to prepare so many paintings in two days. Maybe she really had to add to her previous paintings.

Since the current focus is on a different style, it's okay for her to adapt. Mr. Tan once told her not to be rigid and to learn to adapt to actual conditions.

However, she had a vague feeling that she was being led by someone. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Wu Qingjin was planning everything for her in every detail and was working hard for it.

Qiao Zhizhi looked at Wu Qingjin, her good friend beside her. Her face was full of hope for the success of her exhibition, and there seemed to be light flowing in her eyes.

Perhaps Qing Jin was just too concerned about her future.

Qiao Zhizhi dispelled the subtle uneasiness in her heart.

Prince Guangping was the seventh son of the late emperor. He was fond of elegance and had beautiful calligraphy and painting skills. He did not value people's status and position, and only made friends with celebrities who had achieved artistic success. Whether a person was worthy of his favor depended mainly on his artistic achievements or potential.

Whether it is Prince Heng who loves food or Prince Guangping who loves art, they are both the princes that the emperor trusts the most.

To be able to hold an art exhibition in Prince Guangping’s Palace, one must either be a great person or have great potential.

"In fact, Prince Guangping has seen your paintings and judged that you are a talented person, otherwise he would not agree to hold an exhibition for you." Wu Qingjin winked at Qiao Zhizhi.

"When did it happen?" Qiao Zhizhi was a little surprised.

"Didn't we exchange some paintings before? I took them to find Prince Guangping and told him you were only seventeen. He was very impressed and said that you might become the number one female master in the future and join the ranks of countless powerful male masters."

After hearing this, Qiao Zhizhi did not feel proud at all, but rather relieved. Prince Guangping recognized her painting, and it was not entirely because of Wu Qingjin's repeated visits and requests that he agreed to hold an exhibition for her.

In this way, she would feel less guilty about disturbing Prince Guangping.

After entering the palace, Wu Qingjin dragged Qiao Zhizhi towards the exhibition room. Qiao Zhizhi stopped and asked, "Should we go pay our respects to Prince Guangping first?"

"No, it's all red tape. Art is a free society, not a bureaucratic one. There's no need to be too rigid about it. The prince has already said that when we get there, we can go directly to the exhibition room. We are just little girls, so the prince won't mind."

Qiao Zhizhi still shook her head: "But I always feel that as a guest, it would be unreasonable for me not to pay my respects to the host. Qingjin, your Wu family and the Guangping Marquis Mansion are on good terms, so you can do as you please. I still have to perform the necessary etiquette."

This is the teaching of the Qiao family, and it is taught to everyone. The Qiao family has only been in the capital for a few years, so they must be cautious and careful. They must do what they should do and not do what they shouldn't do. They must not learn those willful and ostentatious tempers, so as not to be caught in the wrong situation.

In the capital, every member of the Qiao family represents the family's reputation. This is a responsibility and a way of survival.

Seeing Qiao Zhizhi heading towards the main hall, Wu Qingjin looked helpless: "Oh, whatever you want, you can go see Prince Guangping first."

Qiao Lian'er followed beside her and couldn't help but give Qiao Zhizhi a thumbs up in her heart. Well done. At this point, she was sure that Wu Qingjin's intentions must not be pure. She was invisible and did not bring any token with her. If Sister Zhizhi really listened to Wu Qingjin and did not go to pay a visit to Prince Guangping, it would be difficult for her to handle it.

Fortunately, Qiao Zhizhi remembered the family motto and made the right first step into the Guangping Marquis Mansion.

Prince Guangping was practicing calligraphy in his study when someone came to report that Zhizhi, the girl from the Qiao family who was good at painting, had arrived and wanted to meet the prince.

"Let her in." Prince Guangping put down his pen, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then went out to the hall.

Although Prince Guangping was also an artist, he had a dignified face, two mustaches on his lips, and a majestic aura, more like a prince in power.

But in fact, he did not have much power. Like other princes, he owned a fiefdom where a small number of troops were stationed, which was not enough to pose a threat to the royal family.
