Daughter of the Prince of Rebirth

Chapter 29

"The font is lowercase plum blossoms!" Ouyang Hanfeng, the son of Luoyang Prince, also came to the picture scroll at some point, his eyes flickered in disbelief besides shock: "The painting is plum, the poem is plum, and the characters are also plum. The idea is really wonderful!" Good poetry, good calligraphy, good painting!
Just one painting shows Murong Yu's profound attainments in poetry, calligraphy, and painting. Compared with Hong Lingyue's painting of chrysanthemums, which only shows painting skills, Murong Yu's talent is more than one or two steps higher!Contest, winner and loser have been divided!

"Miss Murong is really talented..."

"Peerless in the world..."

The picture scroll was transmitted in everyone's hands, and wherever it went, everyone praised it repeatedly. Even Ouyang Shaoxian, who was always indifferent, glanced lightly.

Hong Lingyue suppressed her anger, and hummed softly in disbelief: "Who knows if she prepared this in advance..." Although she can't compose poems and lyrics, her accomplishments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting have always been unmatched. Originally, he wanted Murong Yu to be her foil, but in the end, Murong Yu was superior, and he became her foil instead. How could he not be annoyed and resentful...

"Yu'er got Miss Hong's suggestion to draw plum blossoms, and she didn't draw plum blossoms on her own." Cheating, Murong Yu disdained it: "Instead, it was Miss Hong's chrysanthemum picture, but I drew it on my own initiative..." Villains often bully, people with dirty minds always think that others are as dirty as him!
"My Hong Lingyue's drawing skills are not bad, so why did I cheat?" After asking this sentence, Hong Lingyue realized that she had been fooled: Only a talented person can be arrogant, and a truly talented person doesn't bother to cheat. Her drawing skills are good, Murong Yu is even better than her, she has no reason to cheat, and she has no reason to cheat!

"Miss Murong's painting skills are very solid, every stroke is just right, without a few years of skill, you can't draw this kind of effect." The scroll was passed to the prince again, Ouyang Yechen looked at the ink plum on the painting , unable to move her eyes: "What's more, she made the painting herself in public, so how can she say she cheated?" It's cheating if she asks someone to do the painting for her.

Painting is different from poetry, it requires basic skills. Hong Lingyue knew that Murong Yu hadn't cheated, but because her talent was higher than her own, she was out of balance, so she made a mockery.

All the daughters can also draw, and they know what Hong Lingyue is thinking. Due to her daughter's status, they can't laugh at her openly, and they all secretly laugh and point: "I lost the competition, I'm not convinced..."

"That is, if you are willing to gamble, you have to admit defeat, otherwise, there is no credibility at all..."

"She even poured dirty water on Miss Murong..."

"Don't pay attention to this kind of person, maybe one day you lose to you in the competition, and you will be discredited in public..."

Murong Yu lost her mother three years ago, and rarely left the house, and did not have much contact with the daughters. Hong Lingyue often attended some banquets with her mother, and often showed off her superb piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in front of the daughters. She naturally couldn't say anything more, now she seized the opportunity to vent her anger for herself instead of standing out for Murong Yu, and laughed at her.

"Murong Yu, would you like to send this pair of ink plums to me?" Ouyang Yechen turned around, smiled softly, his eyes were gentle and had deep meaning, making it hard to refuse.

The entire Royal Garden fell silent in an instant, and dozens of pairs of eyes focused on Murong Yu, envious, jealous, resentful, and hostile, especially Murong Lin, whose eyes were about to burst into flames with jealousy, as if she wanted to kill Murong Yu. She looked like she was eating raw, as if Murong Yu wasn't there, and she was the one favored by the crown prince...

Today is a flower appreciation feast that everyone knows well, and the meaning of sending the painting is unusual. Ouyang Yechen is the current prince, and he even asked for a painting himself. If Murong Yu gave him the painting, it would be equivalent to agreeing to marry him.

Murong Yu didn't think he could make Ouyang Yechen, who had only met him once, fall in love with him so much. Maybe he just wanted this painting and had no other intentions, or maybe he was testing himself.

No matter what, Murong Yu didn't want to marry into the royal family, so naturally she wouldn't give the painting to the prince, but if she refuted him in public, it would be a disgrace to the royal family, not only her, but the entire Zhongyonghou mansion would suffer...

She needs to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, not only to not offend Ouyang Yechen, but also to preserve Zhongyonghou's mansion...

Murong Yu smiled slightly, standing with his hands behind his back, gently raised his head to look at Ouyang Yechen, his innocent smile was like the warm sunshine, bright and moving, with profound meaning: "His Royal Highness..."

In front of his eyes, a figure flashed quickly, and the picture scroll in Ouyang Yechen's hand was instantly in the hands of someone else.

"This painting is mine!" Wang Xiangya's jaw was high, and she declared her ownership of the painting forcefully: "Brother Prince, there are so many good things in the palace, you won't rob me of this painting that is not a precious cultural relic!"

Everyone stroked their foreheads helplessly, did Wang Xiangya understand the situation? Although this painting is not a precious cultural relic, the meaning it represents is not ordinary...

Murong Lin, Hong Lingyue and the others were disappointed that they didn't see Murong Yu making a fool of themselves, but at the same time they were also full of gloating. Wang Xiangya made a fuss, and Murong Yu could never hope to become a crown princess...

Ouyang Yechen smiled warmly, with a personable demeanor: "Brother Prince will not snatch things from you, but the painting belongs to Miss Murong. If you want this painting, you should ask her what she means!"

Murong Yu's smile has not changed: Ouyang Yechen is still letting himself make a decision, if he agrees to give the painting to Wang Xiangya, it means rejecting him...

"Murong Yu, you bumped into me just now, this painting is an apology to me." Before Murong Yu could say anything, Wang Xiangya had already handed the scroll to the maid next to her to put it away, and Murong Yu couldn't refuse at all.

Murong Yu smiled softly: "It's right to give this painting to the young miss as an apology."

Ouyang Yechen didn't speak, but the meaningful smile in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

"The empress, the imperial concubine, the lunch is ready!" The eunuch came to report, the empress stood up gently, looked Murong Yu up and down with gentle eyes, and smiled lovingly: "It's getting late, go have lunch Let's eat."

The prince didn't get the picture scroll, and Murong Yu was still the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, and had no relationship with the royal family at all. The officials' daughters were secretly relieved, and followed the queen, Concubine Ye Gui and the prince to the dining room for dinner.

The strange thing is that Wang Xiangya, who has always been vying for the first place, walked slowly with Murong Yu at the end, and gave her a triumphant wink: "Murong Yu, I helped you out, how are you going to thank me?" ?”
