Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

At the top of the painting, lightly painted smoke curls up like winter morning mist. The blank space leaves the viewer with endless reverie and profound meaning.

The painting is majestic and imposing, showcasing the charm of traditional landscape painting while incorporating Shen Muxue's unique personal style. Even more astonishing is that all this took only a short moment.

It’s incredible!

Praises were heard everywhere and everyone was impressed.

Ling Luo Ning curled her lips, looking disapproving: "It's just some little tricks."

But Ling Fan's eyes were full of shock.

Speaking of which, it was he who taught Shen Muxue painting.

At that time, Jin hired a painter for Shen Leyao, but did not allow Shen Muxue to learn. He saw through the desire in her eyes and taught her the key points of painting in private.

She used a branch to imitate each stroke on the flat ground to check whether it was correct.

At that time, her paintings were simple and plain, with too many rules and lack of personality.

Unexpectedly, such a once reserved woman would one day be able to express herself freely and create such bold, unrestrained and magnificent works. Just like her, she has undergone a transformation and is now a completely different person.

Complex emotions surged in the depths of Ling Fan's eyes, just like the look he had when he stared at her in the alley that night, with a hint of aggression and possessiveness, but without contempt and neglect.

Shen Muxue raised her head and looked at the Princess of Chu.

"My lady, the painting is finished."

Princess Chu's heart tightened, and she couldn't get away at this moment.

She glanced at him, a hint of mockery on her lips: "You are really a smart guy."

Han Luwen was unhappy to hear this.

Spoiled by her family since childhood, she was fearless and immediately said, "Princess, my mother always said that a cat, black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat. It doesn't matter if it's clever or not, as long as it draws well, it's fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, he challenged everyone again.

"If anyone thinks they can draw better than my sister, come up and try."

Shen Muxue looked at the chubby little face and stood up for herself.

A warm feeling welled up in my heart.

Ever since she could remember, no one had ever protected her like this.

Han Chenghe was also protective. Seeing his sister's outspokenness, he quickly stepped forward and said, "My sister is outspoken, and I hope Your Highness will forgive her. However, her words are not entirely without reason. Your Highness comes from a distinguished family and possesses both talent and beauty. You certainly have an idea of ​​what this painting is like."

Is his businessman nature clearly revealed?

Although he was smiling, his words put the princess in a dilemma.

If I belittle this painting, it would seem that my appreciation is mediocre. If this gets to the ears of the nobles in Beijing, how can I save face?

But if I admit that the painting is good, I can't swallow this.

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense and both sides felt uncomfortable.

At this moment, a guard came to Shen Muxue holding a brocade box and said, "My master admires your paintings very much and would like to give them as a gift. Could you please give the paintings to my master?"

Shen Muxue turned her head and looked in the direction the guards came from.

I happened to see an attic not far away.

The curtains in the attic are hung low, and the interior cannot be seen clearly from below.

The system popped up a prompt at the right time: [Master, we have detected that person in the attic.]

Shen Muxue smiled gently.

The emperor is here too.

And he saw everything.

In this case, it would be unreasonable not to accept the gift.

Shen Muxue took the box and said, "This is just my humble work. It is really an honor for me to be favored by you, my lord."

The guard said nothing more, put away the scroll and left.

The Princess of Chu was naturally aware that the Emperor was present.

What surprised her was that the emperor appreciated Shen Muxue's paintings so much.

If she embarrassed Shen Muxue, wouldn't that be indirectly accusing the emperor of having a flawed aesthetic?

Princess Chu's mind turned, and she made a decision immediately. With a smile on her face, she said, "This painting is truly unmatched at today's banquet. Linglong, reward."

Linglong took the hairpin from the nanny and handed it to Shen Muxue personally.

He caught a glimpse of the hibiscus jade hairpin in Shen Muxue's hair from the corner of his eye and couldn't help but frown.

In terms of color and craftsmanship, this hairpin is superior to the hollow carved hairpin in his hand. It is obviously not an ordinary item among the people.

Shen Muxue accepted the gift of the hairpin and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Princess, for the gift."

The Princess of Chu responded softly, saying that she was tired, and asked Jin to continue chatting with everyone, and then she went to rest.

As soon as the elders left, the young ladies from other ministers' families immediately gathered around.

Some asked Shen Muxue where the inspiration for the painting came from, while others wanted to see the beauty of the hollow carved hairpin.

Shen Leyao looked at these people and twisted her handkerchief tightly in anger.

Secretly scold these people for their fence-sitting behavior.

All the people who used to surround him changed their minds because of a painting by Shen Muxue.

It’s a pity that she used to buy good things to share with everyone.

How disloyal!

At this time, Ling Luoning came over and patted Shen Leyao on the shoulder.

"Sister Yao'er, are you okay? How are you now? Does your foot still hurt?"

Shen Leyao rubbed her ankle, moved it a little, and felt much better.

Ling Luo Ning glanced at Shen Muxue and spat, "That frivolous woman is really good at showing off! She used to pretend to be well-behaved, but now her true nature is showing."

Shen Leyao deeply agreed.

However, does Shen Muxue think that she can be so glorious and the game will stop like this?

no way!

There are many more fun things waiting to happen!

Shen Leyao suppressed her resentful look, leaned closer to Shen Muxue and said, "I knew my sister would shine. It's still early, why don't we go play by the Bi Lake? The servants have prepared ice skates, so we can go skating on the lake."

"I heard that the lake in the Duke's Mansion is very large, and there is a place to rest nearby, with tea and water available. Since everyone is here," Ling Luoning understood Shen Leyao's thoughts.

She must have an ulterior motive in her proposal.

So they quickly started to make a big fuss.

Everyone naturally responded positively.

"I'm not very good at skating, so forget it."

Shen Muxue was planning to carefully wipe the hairpin given by the Princess of Chu and then put it away properly.

Ling Luoning saw this and felt a surge of jealousy.

He stumbled and bumped into Shen Muxue's arm.

The smooth hairpin fell and broke into two pieces.

Shen Muxue grabbed Ling Luoning's wrist, looking like she was about to cry.

"Ling Luoning, I know you've never liked me. But you don't have to deliberately break the hairpin I just got."

Ling Luo Ning's hand was grabbed, and she couldn't deny it. She could only say with a red face: "No, I, I really didn't do it on purpose. I'll compensate you for whatever amount you paid."

But I grumbled in my heart, it's just a little loss of money.

As long as this hairpin is destroyed, let’s see what Shen Muxue can show off.

A sly look flashed in Shen Muxue's eyes, but she remained calm on the surface. "That was given by the princess herself. It's of great significance. How can it be measured by money? If the princess investigates, what should I do?"

As he spoke, tears actually fell.

Han Luwen saw it clearly from the side and knew that Ling Luoning definitely did it on purpose.
