When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 45 Doubt
Painting Wanzhai, with tall wooden columns and a broad layout.

There is an endless stream of guests coming and going, and it is a bit crowded.

"Master, madam, are you buying paintings?" A servant came over and smiled obsequiously.

"Sell paintings." Cheng Muqing shook the long wooden cylinder in his hand twice, "Please find someone to appraise it."

The boy's eyes quickly swept over the two of them, and he said with a smile, "Wait a moment."

Cheng Muqing nodded, and pulled Lin Heng aside to sit down.

Considering that the guests will be tired from walking, Emansai specially set up tables and chairs in some corners.There are soft cushions on the wooden low table, and there are tea sets on the wooden table beside it.

In order to avoid being targeted by thieves, Cheng Muqing and Lin Heng changed into low-key clothes before leaving.Now wearing a cheap mask and mixing in the crowd, they are completely ordinary people who cannot be more ordinary.

This may also be the reason, the servant of Hui Wanzhai was a little neglectful, and after waiting for a long time, the servant came out to invite the two of them.

The two of them followed the young man to the appraisal field and passed the auction field on the way.

The auction venue is in a hall on the second floor, with gauze curtains hanging on both sides of the double doors.

Looking in, I happened to be able to see the auction site.

Cheng Muqing glanced at it, and saw that the auction item was a picture of a woman's funeral.

"The painting is not bad." Cheng Muqing raised his eyebrows, and whispered in Lin Heng's ear, "It's just that it's not as good as ours."

The boy who led the way subconsciously looked at the two of them, feeling a little hesitant in his heart.

What are the identities of these two people?
Cheng Muqing met his gaze indifferently, and raised his head slightly, "The painting in my hand is no worse than the one you auctioned."

"Which master's painting are you two holding?" the servant asked in a low voice.

"It's... Prince Qi's." Cheng Muqing rolled his eyes, "We are the servant girls of Prince Qi's mansion, and we happened to get the original work of the prince, so we came to auction it."

"Puchi~"

The boy didn't speak, and the man standing beside him laughed out loud first.

Cheng Muqing could hear the disdain in his laughter, as a good protector, she immediately frowned, "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing, are you new to the Qi Palace?" The man turned around and smiled at her, "That wimpy King Qi doesn't know anything, even if he can draw something... it's worthless. Where will the baby be auctioned? Heh~"

Hearing this, Lin Heng's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Because of holding Lin Heng's hand, Cheng Muqing could obviously feel his hand tightening slowly.

She moved her footsteps and stood in front of Lin Heng, "How dare you insult His Royal Highness King Qi in public? Besides, how do you know that he can't paint?"

"I insulted King Qi?" The man couldn't stop laughing, shaking his head, looking around, "Who saw it? Who heard it?"

People around turned their eyes away one after another. They were all rational people and would not wade into this muddy water.

"Look, no one has heard of it." The man twitched his lips, "I heard that the empress often rewards the Qi Palace. Could it be that this painting in your hand was a gift from the empress? Well...it must be, King Qi is not How can you know ink and wash if you don't have any skills and don't know many big characters?"

Cheng Muqing no longer refuted, but directly pulled out the drawing paper from the long tube.With a wave of her long arm, she released the painting.

In an instant, the portrait of the woman appeared in front of everyone.

"This is painted by King Qi, and the person in the painting is the current Princess Qi."

Her voice was loud, with a woman's unique sharpness, and instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

The venue changed from the silence at the beginning to the hustle and bustle——

"Is that painted by King Qi? It's not bad."

"Who is the woman in that painting? She is so beautiful, she is the type I like."

"This painting is not bad...is it just Princess Qi's picture like this? How do I remember that Princess Qi looks a little heroic?"

"..."

There was a lot of noise around, most of which were admiration for the painting and doubts about King Qi's strength.

"What do you think of this painting? How much is it worth?" Cheng Muqing asked in a clear voice.

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

Just as Cheng Muqing's heart was pounding, a middle-aged greasy man in the crowd raised his hand.

"100 taels!"

It may be because someone started the price, and then many people raised their hands.

"110 taels!"

"130 taels!"

……

"Look, you draw well." Cheng Muqing relaxed his heart, raised his chin slightly, and was quite proud of it.

Standing behind her, Lin Heng looked at the group of men with greedy eyes through her tall body, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"They don't think my paintings are good, but they are greedy for the beauty of the people in the paintings." Lin Heng said suddenly, "I don't want to sell you."

How did it become a betrayal of me?It was clearly just a painting... Cheng Muqing was ashamed.

"Well, I know." Cheng Muqing put away the drawing paper, scanned it around, and finally set his eyes on the man who had a disdainful expression just now.

The man's back was straight, and his face was still full of disdain, "How can you prove that this is the authentic work of King Qi? What if it was made by a painter in the palace?"

"Then why do you believe it?" Cheng Muqing raised his eyebrows, "If not... let King Qi draw one for you himself?"

"Heh~ That's of course the best..."

"Brother Feng."

A warm voice sounded, and a tall and slender young man climbed up the stairs and came slowly. The young man had handsome features and an elegant demeanor, and looked like a certain knowledgeable bachelor.

A smile appeared on the face of the disdainful man just now, and he nodded to the young man, "Xu Jin, why did you come here?"

"It's better to come here by chance." The lips of the gentle young man called "Xu Jin" curved slightly, his eyes fell on Cheng Muqing and Lin Heng for a moment, and then moved away.He patted Feng Yao with his fan, "You have to be forgiving and forgiving, why do you have to fight against the people of Prince Qi's mansion?"

"I don't like Princess Qi, and I don't like King Qi either." Feng Yao snorted coldly, "The most important thing is, I don't believe that King Qi has this ability."

"Brother Feng..." Xu Jin shook his head slightly at him, signaling him not to say more.

Why is he here?Cheng Muqing subconsciously helped the mask on his face.

"Let's go." Seeing that she was not in the right state, Lin Heng suggested aloud.

"En." Cheng Muqing nodded, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Oh? Why are you leaving? Don't sell paintings anymore?" Seeing that she was going to leave, Feng Yao suddenly became excited, "Could it be that you want to take advantage of the chaos and escape?"

"Why should I run away?" Cheng Muqing paused.

"Because you can't prove that the painting in your hand is King Qi..."

"Wan An, Concubine Qi." Xu Jin suddenly said, he pressed Feng Yao, and bowed to salute.

Feng Yao was at a loss for words, with an incredulous expression on his face.

He recognized me?
"Young Master Feng, I don't know where I and King Qi have offended you." Cheng Muqing put away the surprise in his eyes, took off his mask, and looked at him quietly, "Since you don't trust Your Highness so much, why don't His Highness give it to you?" Draw a picture on the spot?" Now that she has been recognized, there is no need for her to hide.

Seeing the appearance of the person in front of him, Feng Yao's expression sank, he still had a stubborn mouth, "Okay! Then let me see what His Royal Highness King Qi is capable of!"

"Come here!" Just do what you say, Cheng Muqing immediately called for the servant, "I will serve you with pen and ink!"

The boy was still in a state of bewilderment, and he didn't react until Cheng Muqing called him again.

"Princess Qi, don't bother King Qi, we believe that His Royal Highness Qi is capable." Xu Jin stood sideways in front of Feng Yao, with a gentle expression and respectful words, "Please forgive my friend's provocation..."

Cheng Muqing pursed her thin lips, looking a little uncomfortable.

　Lin Heng: Qingqing is mine, and Qingqing's portrait is also mine!
