After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

"Yes."

Gongsun Zhi glanced at Yan Qing.

She originally wanted to use Yan Qing to enter the princess's mansion for revenge. Regardless of success or failure, she would definitely drag Yan Qing into it.

But she didn't expect that Yan Qing didn't care at all, and kept telling her to save her life.

This is her only chance.

She can't miss it!

Turn around.

Gongsun Zhi disappeared in the crowd.

No one cared whether a maid stayed or left, everyone was waiting to see Yan Qing make a fool of herself.

You deserve it for daring to challenge the eldest princess!

Do you think you're so great just because you have the General's Mansion backing you up? The Princess will kill you anyway!

Why do they all have to endure the eldest princess's anger and act according to her wishes, but Yan Qing is the only one who is different?

Good at sensationalism!

Many people cannot fight on their own, and do not like others to fight, because that would make them appear useless.

So at this moment, everyone looked at Yan Qing with a bit of gloating eyes.

Prince Consort Lu is Prince Yue, one of the four great princes. He is famous for his painting. It is said that his paintings were sold at sky-high prices in Fan Yang.

And Yan Qing is good at painting?

This is even more of a joke.

What woman in the boudoir doesn't know some of the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting? But those are just some skills that women learn to marry well. How can they be compared with men?

Or is he the famous prince consort?

When Yan Qing kneels down before the eldest princess and kowtows to admit her mistake, she will know how wise it is for them to face the reality so early.

Soon, people from the princess's mansion brought in two large tables and canvases.

Arrange the pen, ink, paper and inkstone separately.

Lu Mingyue stepped forward at this time. After bowing to Yan Qing, he gently advised: "Second Miss Yan, I have been learning painting from my father since I was a child. Although my painting skills are not as good as those of the masters, I have some experience. I really don't want to deceive you. Why don't you apologize to the princess now and don't paint this..."

The princess said with a cold face: "Since the prince consort spoke for you, I will show mercy and forgive you this time. Yan Er, as long as you kneel down and admit your mistake now, I will let bygones be bygones."

Yan Qing's eyes fell on Lu Mingyue's face.

He is indeed a rare handsome man, especially with a mole at the corner of his eye, which gives him a different look when he lowers his eyes and frowns.

No wonder the eldest princess favors him.

She didn't answer the princess's words, but looked at Lu Mingyue with a stern face: "If you are afraid of losing, just say it directly. Why humiliate me?"

"you--"

Lu Mingyue was slightly annoyed. How could a girl's painting skills compare to his? Rather than face an embarrassing defeat later, why not admit her mistake to the princess now? But she hadn't expected Yan Er to be so ungrateful? Don't blame him for being ruthless now!

Lu Mingyue's face instantly turned cold, and she swung her sleeves and said, "In that case, Miss Yan, please go in—"

Yan Qing walked to his canvas.

Lu Mingyue has started painting freely.

His brushwork is exquisite, his colors are bold, and his painting style is strange and magical. He truly has the style of the painting saint Liu Boqi.

Yan Qing took a look and shook his head.

At first glance, Lu Mingyue's paintings do resemble Liu Boqi's style, but a closer look reveals that they are heavily copied, capturing only the form but not the spirit. However, his painting skills are indeed solid, so most people cannot tell the difference.

But anyone who has a little understanding of painting should be able to see through it at a glance. How could such a great scholar praise him and drive up the price of his paintings to such a high level?

Just as this doubtful thought flashed through Yan Qing's mind, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Prince Consort Lu's painting skills are superb, he has the aura of a painting saint, yet Second Miss Yan just kept shaking her head after seeing his paintings. Could it be that Second Miss Yan doesn't like Prince Consort Lu's paintings?"

"Yes, yes, why don't you draw it yet?"

"She only looks at the Prince Consort's paintings and doesn't paint herself. Could it be that she doesn't know how to do it?"

"Tsk! You're still bragging?"

"I've already found a good spot to watch Yan Qing kowtow to the princess!"

Everyone laughed at Yan Qing, as if they had already seen her kneeling down and begging for mercy after being defeated.

Yan Qingchao glanced at the crowd.

Just then, I saw Yang Xuan, the concubine of the prime minister's family, covering her mouth with a handkerchief to hide her expression.

The first sentence was what she said.

Yan Qing could distinguish the sound.

Just when everyone was laughing at Yan Qing, she suddenly closed her eyes and stood quietly in front of the canvas.

When I opened my eyes again——

Yan Qing's whole person changed.

The princes on the high platform over there also noticed it.

Prince Jing waved his folding fan and said, "Hey, Ziyuan, your cousin was so aggressive just now, even more arrogant than the emperor's sister, but now she is as calm as the depths, like a completely different person! How strange!"

Gu Huaizhou looked at Yan Qing in the crowd with gentle eyes.

He raised the corner of his lips slightly: "Qingqing is like this. You will never know how many surprises she will bring you."

"Oh?"

Prince Jing suddenly became interested: "Now that you mention it, I suddenly want to meet Miss Yan..."

"better not."

Someone's face suddenly darkened.

Prince Jing jokingly said, "But she has already accepted my jade pendant~"

"That'smine."

Someone suddenly turned around, shooting a cold and gloomy look at Prince Jing: "Prince, have you forgotten that you still have to serve in the Imperial Guards? If you don't make some achievements, the Imperial Concubine will be sad..."

Prince Jing thought of how his mother, upon hearing that he wanted to join the Imperial Guards for training, had grasped his hand and said with eager anticipation, "My son, I don't expect you to achieve anything remarkable. As long as you simply do a few earth-shattering little things, and can even crush your elder and second brothers underfoot, I'll be satisfied."

I shuddered instantly.

His mother's understanding of him was not clear. She actually wanted him to step on his elder and second brothers? It was not easy for him to survive! But for the Spring River Moon Night Painting, he endured it!

So he has to rely on Ziyuan to help him deal with his mother.

Prince Jing curled his lips and said, "Okay, okay, I was just saying it casually. Look how anxious you are. What you should really be wary of are my two brothers, okay..."

Gu Huaizhou looked towards King Qi and King Li.

Sure enough, the two princes were staring at Yan Qing intently, especially Prince Li, who gave Qingqing a disgusting smile.

He turned his head away.

All deserve to die!

Prince Li had no idea he was on someone's blacklist. He stared at Yan Qing below him and suddenly said to Prince Qi beside him, "Second brother, who do you think will win between Yan Er and Lu Mingyue?"

The King of Qi played with the teacup in his hand and said, "Of course it's Lu Mingyue."

Although Yan Qing's posture was a bit intimidating, King Qi was not optimistic about her. Moreover, even if her painting skills were comparable to Lu Mingyue's, his royal sister would not let her win!

Prince Li rolled his eyes and said, "Second brother, how about we make a bet?"

The King of Qi looked at the King of Li.

Prince Li said, "Since Second Prince is optimistic about Lu Mingyue, I will bet on Yan Er. I will use the gambling house's profits for this month as the stakes. If Lu Mingyue wins, my Anbao's profits for this month will go to Second Prince. If Yan Er wins, Second Prince's Changle Casino's profits for this month will be given to me. How do you do it?"

The King of Qi sneered, "Big Brother is so calculating!"

Changle Casino is doing better business than Anbao Casino. Prince Li is getting a bargain if he wins, and he won’t suffer any loss if he loses.

But Anbao is not bad for a month...

After a pause, King Qi said, "Okay, I'll make a bet with you!"
