Chapter 92 A painting of a thousand pieces of gold
  Zhengyang wanted to dissuade him, so he heard Jing Muling say loudly: "I can't see with my eyes. From everyone's reaction, I know that the Second Miss's painting is exquisite. I bought it. There is no need to put it up for auction with other paintings." .”
  The voice that had just calmed down suddenly became boiling because of Jing Muling's words.
  Everyone was afraid of Jing Muling, and the voices of discussion were much quieter than before, buzzing like a swarm of bees:
  "Oh my God, His Highness King Yu can't see it. Why are you buying paintings?"
  "There's no one who buys paintings inside, why don't they all go out and sell them?"
  "Isn't it to gain some reputation for the second young lady? In the poetry competition, His Royal Highness King Yu gave you several rewards. Just that set of yellow jade masks is worth a lot of money."
  "Isn't this a clear gift of money to the second young lady? Does His Highness King Yu have thoughts about the second young lady?"
  "No, the second young lady is not outstanding in appearance. She just made some limelight today. What kind of woman has His Highness King Yu not seen?"
  "I heard that His Highness King Yu is good to the second lady because of Princess Xiaoqing. It must be true. Otherwise, why would His Highness King Yu be so nice?"
  "His Royal Highness King Yu is still thinking about his old friendship. With such a large amount of money, the huge kindness has been repaid."
  "Keep your voice down, His Highness King Yu doesn't look good."
  Jing Muling didn't pay attention to those words. He looked at Shen Zhuoxi's reaction through the bamboo membrane in his eyes.
  Shen Zhuoxi was also surprised. Like everyone else, she was not a famous painting master, so why did King Yu deserve to make an exception?
  Jingye even raised his eyebrows.
  Over the years, the relationship between him and King Yu has been good or bad, and King Yu has never been heard to express any feelings for any woman.
  Whether it's a reward for poetry or buying a painting now, it must all be for Shen Zhuoxi!
  "Uncle Emperor, you can't see, why are you buying a painting?" Jingye smiled with a hint of amusement.
  He only dared to make such an expression because Jing Muling couldn't see her.
  The corners of Jing Muling's lips curved into a mocking arc, and she said, "Does the prince think that my eyes will never get better?"
  Jingye tapped the table impatiently with his hand and said, "I am just curious. People who cannot see can only imagine when facing a beautiful painting. Wouldn't it make me feel more irritable?"
  "The prince is worried." Jing Muling said calmly: "With the help of Miss Shen Er, my king's eyes have improved. I believe that he will recover in time."
  "When you can see it, you can naturally appreciate the paintings, right?"
  Jingye's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously repeated: "Uncle Huang's eyes have improved?"
  Jing Muling was very satisfied with his reaction and said, "Yes."
  "Why haven't you heard about it before?" Jingye frowned and said, "My father is very concerned about my uncle's eyes. He even talked about it a few days ago."
  "I am going to report to the emperor when I am completely recovered, so as not to rejoice in vain." Jing Muling paused, then changed the subject and said, "I want to buy Miss Shen Er's painting, is it possible?"
  "Okay." Jingye spread his hands and said, "Let's bid at a price of one hundred taels, which is higher than ordinary paintings."
  "Since it is a painting praised by everyone, or a double-sided painting, how can one hundred taels be enough?" Jing Muling twirled her fingers and said, "One thousand taels."
  "Okay, since it's a painting, you still have to go through the process. After all, Miss Shen Er's paintings are so wonderful." The prince raised his head and asked symbolically.
  "His Royal Highness King Yu has offered a thousand taels of silver, do you want to increase the price?"
  "Wow, a thousand taels of silver?" Wang Yurou patted Shen Zhuoxi's hand and said, "It's really awesome!"
  "Don't forget it." Wei Zhiting said with a smile: "Second Miss's double-sided painting is unique, even a thousand taels of silver is not much."
  "Miss Wei is thorough." Jing Muling faced the prince and said, "What the king is talking about is not silver, but gold."
  Someone exclaimed: "A thousand taels of gold, my God!"
  "Even paintings by famous artists rarely have this number, right?"
  "Let me see, Miss Shen Er's painting is worth this amount. After all, it is the first double-sided painting."
  "The only shortcoming of this painting is the inscription, but the flaws do not outweigh the flaws."
  "By the way, how much did His Highness King Yu give Miss Shen Er today?"
  "Except for the jewelry in front, this will be another thousand taels of gold. It's not easy to calculate. There are still thousands of taels of gold."
  Even Jingye was surprised and said: "Gold?"
  "Yes." Jing Muling was calm and relaxed, as if she was talking about five taels of silver: "It's not easy to get something you like these days."
  "Okay, as long as the emperor is happy." Jingye didn't know what to say. He turned to everyone and said, "His Royal Highness King Yu must have paid the highest price. This palace announces that Miss Shen Er's double-sided painting belongs to His Highness King Yu."
  "I came out today without any money with me." Jing Muling said to Shen Zhuoxi, "After the mid-year banquet is over, I will order the money to be sent to the Grand Master's Mansion."
  "Thank you, Your Highness, King Yu." Shen Zhuoxi looked as usual, but secretly sighed in his heart: Could it be that His Highness, King Yu, took the wrong medicine and had too much money to spend?
  Isn't that what it's like for a boy who spreads his wealth?
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't know that Jing Muling just let her go.
  After the painting and inscription, there was a chess competition, and Zhongmi still had a short period of rest.
  Shen Zhuoxi couldn't get out for some air, so Wang Yurou pulled her and kept talking.
  Similarly, other people in the Taishi Mansion were also accepting congratulations. Many people gathered around the old lady, Shen Heshan, Yu Qinglian and Han Xiangru to greet each other.
  Shen Zhuoxi not only contributed to the Taishi Mansion's reputation, but also became the envy of everyone in Shengdu. She also became the center of conversation.
  Facing the crowd of congratulatory voices, Yu Qinglian reluctantly responded with a fake smile, and finally found time to go to the backyard to see Shen Xinyu.
  It was true that Shen Xinyu fainted this time. As soon as she woke up, she couldn't wait to hold Cuiping's hand and asked, "Why am I here?"
  "Miss, you fainted. Chief Qin said it was because the weather was too hot and you were so anxious." Cuiping wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said, "Miss, are you feeling better?"
  "No, I want to write an inscription." Shen Xinyu sat up from the couch and exclaimed: "How far is the Mid-year banquet going? Help me over quickly."
  "My servants don't know either." Cuiping quickly comforted her, "You are feeling unwell. His Highness the Crown Prince ordered you to go back to your home to recuperate when you wake up. There is no need to attend the banquet again."
  "What do you mean, His Majesty the Crown Prince?" Shen Xinyu was stunned, with a hint of fear on her pale face: "He didn't announce our happy event?"
  Cuiping shook her head: "My servant has come to serve you. I don't know what's going on there."
  "Go, go and find out quickly." Shen Xinyu straightened her clothes and said, "I made a big show of it. Almost everyone knows that I will marry the prince. How could it not be announced?"
  Cuiping walked to the door, bumped into Yu Qinglian, and quickly saluted.
  Yu Qinglian passed her, walked quickly to Shen Xinyu, and said anxiously: "Are you awake?"
  "Mother, what's going on up front?" Shen Xinyu stepped forward and asked, "Who inscribed on Shen Zhuoxi's painting?"
  "Your sister Xinjiao's inscription is pretty good." Yu Qinglian pulled her and said, "You just woke up, please lie down for a while to avoid fainting again."
