Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

The woman said, "Just a few calligraphy and paintings."

When He Shen heard about calligraphy and painting, he became interested and asked, "What calligraphy and painting?"

The woman looked He Shen up and down and said, "I don't think you are a man of this kind. Don't give others an opportunity to accuse you of being pretentious."

He Shen was quite disapproving and laughed, saying, "Oh, what a boast! You know, there is nothing in this world that we cannot see, and no place that we cannot go. If you don't let us take a look, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell these paintings."

Du Xiaoyue smiled and nodded, saying, "Master Shen, well said."

The woman walked around Heshen, saying as she went, "Oh, this is a ridiculous story. Are you Confucius from the temple, unable to endure the hustle and bustle of life and come to the shores of West Lake? That's why I can't sell my paintings? Or are you Lu Ban from heaven, who, on a whim, escaped to this world to try his hand at craftsmanship, and that's why I can't wield an axe? If you're neither Confucius nor Lu Ban, then which temple are you from? Why should I obey your orders?"

He Shen pointed and said with a smile: "Listen, this..."

Seeing this, Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Forget it, sir. When it comes to bickering, I'm afraid you are no match for this girl." He shook the fan in his hand.

Heshen also readily admitted it and said, "Indeed, I am not good at speaking, but we have a most romantic and talented man in the world here, why don't you say anything?" Then he looked at Mo Li.

He also walked in front of Mo Li.

Mo Li felt a little embarrassed and said, “Sir, this girl is indeed extraordinary.”

He Shen felt strange and asked, "Could it be that there is something behind this?"

Qi Qi's expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "I'm not sure yet."

Emperor Gai Zhang came to the woman, pointed at Heshen and Mo Li, and said, "Miss, you just said that they are pretentious. I wonder if I have the honor to..." He pointed to the calligraphy and painting in the woman's arms.

The woman said, "I am an expert in selling goods. I see that you are a connoisseur of goods. Please take a look."

After saying that, he handed over the painting.

The Emperor took it, unfolded the painting, and said, "So the girl is selling Along the River During the Qingming Festival."

He Shen's eyes widened upon hearing this, while Mo Li remained expressionless.

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "No wonder the young lady is reluctant to show herself to others. What is her offer?"

The woman shook her head and said, "Sir, don't you know that there are priceless things in the world?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Gai Zhang was also startled and asked, "What do you mean, young lady?"

The woman said, "I entrust this painting to you, sir, for free."

As the Emperor Gai Zhang rolled up the painting, he said, "Young lady, you are so generous. It would be tacky for me to refuse. So, I will accept the painting. May I ask your name?"

The woman said expressionlessly, "I am sending you off sincerely, and I don't expect anything in return. If we are destined to meet again someday, I'm sure we'll meet again."

Emperor Gai Zhang nodded slightly and said, "The young lady is very picky. But why do you only favor me so much?"

The woman smiled and said, "It is common sense to give swords to martyrs and fine horses to heroes. Sir, you are so extraordinary, are you not worthy of a painting depicting the market? Goodbye." Without any greeting, she turned around and left.

Emperor Gai Zhang was filled with doubts as he watched the woman leaving.

He Shen came before the Emperor and said solemnly, "Master, this girl is extraordinary."

Du Xiaoyue leaned forward and looked in the direction the woman left.

Emperor Gai Zhang said seriously: "This woman must have come here on purpose. The answer will be revealed soon."
