The poisonous girl becomes a phoenix

Chapter 396
This superb painting skill made even Princess Duanning feel ashamed!

The queen finally came to her senses, she took the painting from the palace man, held it carefully and looked at it for a while, finally a smile appeared on her face: "Xiyun, I didn't expect you to be able to draw well!" , why haven't I heard you before?"

"Small tricks, how dare you show your ugliness in front of the empress." Su Xiyun said modestly: "The painting I made today is just for the sake of making the empress smile, so I don't deserve such praise from the empress."

Seeing that Su Xiyun was so modest, the queen smiled more and more, she looked at it for a while, then handed the painting to the palace servants, and said: "Show this painting in front of everyone, and let everyone see it." .”

"Yes! Your Majesty!" The palace servants agreed, and took the paintings carefully, starting with Concubine Liang, and showing them to everyone one by one.

The queen smiled slightly, nodded to Su Xiyun and said, "Come, sit by Bengong's side."

"Thank you, ma'am." Su Xiyun thanked her, then stepped forward, and carefully sat down beside the chair brought by the palace man. That seat was the closest to the empress.

Concubine Liang's expression changed, but she didn't speak.

As the palace servants displayed the paintings one by one, the expressions of everyone in the hall staring at Su Xiyun changed a little, and the sounds of admiration and gasping also kept coming and going.

When the picture of lotus flowers was passed to Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian smiled coldly at the painting, but praised without smiling: "Miss Su San is really top-notch in painting! Compared with Princess Duanning Let! It's really amazing!" Her original intention was to stir up suspicion between Princess Duanning and Su Xiyun.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Concubine Liang immediately cast needle-like gazes on Su Xiyun's face, and was about to say a few words of sarcasm, but Princess Duanning at the side spoke before her: "Concubine Xian is joking!" Now, Miss Su San is indeed better at drawing than Duanning, and Duanning admits this." She had a calm expression on her face, without any trace of jealousy.

When Princess Xian listened to it, her face revealed a look of disappointment, and the plan to sow discord would not work at all.

Concubine Liang couldn't say anything more now, she turned her eyes back and stared hard at her daughter twice, then turned her head and said: "Our Duanning is not bad at all. have equal shares!"

But everyone didn't really believe this. Princess Duanning just drew a picture of peonies, and it is still displayed in front of the queen. No matter the composition or the writing of that picture, it cannot be compared with the picture drawn by Su Xiyun.Concubine Liang's words were suspected of deliberately exalting her own daughter.

The queen smiled slightly when she heard the words, but did not speak.

The palace servants picked up the painting and left Princess Xian's seat, and passed it in front of every lady at the banquet.

Su Xiyun withdrew her gaze. She didn't want to hear a word of exclamation from the underground people. She drew these paintings relying on the memories of her previous life, and they were not her own skills.It is also unworthy of everyone's praise.

But in the situation just now, she had to do so.

Soon, the painting was delivered to the table where Su Qianyun was sitting, and both Su Qianyun and Bai Ruiqi looked over it.Others in the hall also looked back.

"Oops!" An exclamation suddenly sounded in front of everyone.

Su Xiyun quickly turned her gaze over, only to see that Bai Ruiqi and Su Qianyun were cleaning the painting in a hurry. They were far away, so Su Xiyun couldn't see what happened, but the ladies who were closer were already talking about it. He said: "Oh, what a beautiful painting! It was splashed by a bowl of tea! What a pity!"

Su Xiyun's gaze sank, and she stared at Bai Ruiqi who was shivering beside Su Qianyun for an instant, her gaze was as cold as a knife.

The queen's complexion also sank, and she slowly said, "What happened?"

Su Qianyun's face turned pale, she glanced at Bai Ruiqi who was shivering beside her, and saw that the other party's eyes were full of pleading.She sighed, stood up from her seat, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my wife accidentally spilled tea on my younger sister's painting just now, she deserves death, please punish me!"

Bai Ruiqi at the side was greatly relieved when she heard her say this, she said with great regret: "Sister-in-law, Ruiqi didn't catch that cup of tea just now, I'm sorry."

When everyone heard it, what else did they not understand?It must be that Mrs. Bai was dissatisfied with her sister-in-law, and she poured tea on the painting while she was looking at the painting, to wrong her sister-in-law. This Mrs. Bai, her thoughts are too vicious!
"What? Did you spill the tea on your head? Show it up for me to have a look!" The queen changed her face and shouted to the bottom.

Soon, the painting was presented in front of the empress.

The lotus flower that was so stunning just now is like a dusty pearl, becoming extremely ugly.

Concubine Liang saw her at the side, and immediately sneered: "Tsk tsk, it turned into this after being splashed with tea! This is not as good as the peony picture in Duanning of my house!" She said, kneeling not far away Su Qianyun glanced at her, and her smile was even more sarcastic: "Miss Su, I heard that Mrs. Bai is your sister! Tsk tsk, this sister really has a deep affection for you! Destroy the painting you drew so easily!" Once..."

The people below heard the irony in Concubine Liang's words, and they couldn't help but look at Su Xiyun with pity.

However, Su Xiyun just smiled slightly, and said: "What Concubine Liang said is right, my sister really has a deep affection for me, what happened today is just an accident."

Everyone didn't quite believe it.

At this moment, Princess Duanning suddenly stood up and walked a few steps towards the painting held by the palace servant. She frowned slightly, stared at the painting for a moment, and suddenly said, "I have a way to remedy it."

Everyone was stunned.

Concubine Liang hurriedly said: "Duanning, what are you doing standing there? Come back soon!"

"Concubine Liang, so what if you just let Duanning take a look? They are painters who cherish each other, what's wrong with that?" The queen glanced at Concubine Liang with a smile, then turned her head and said to Princess Duanning in a gentle voice: "Danning, do you really have a way to salvage this painting?"

Duanning nodded, his big eyes flickering; "Queen, although Duanning is not very sure, he can give it a try."

After hearing this, the queen turned to look at Su Xiyun.

"Your Majesty, Princess Duanning condescends to repair Xiyun's paintings. This is the blessing that Xiyun has cultivated for several generations. I wish for it." Su Xiyun smiled slightly.

Concubine Liang at the side finally felt a lot better when she heard Su Xiyun boasting about her daughter so much, and she stopped making sarcastic remarks deliberately.

Soon, the palace servants re-arranged and dried the painting on the table on the stage. Princess Duanning smiled at Su Xiyun, turned and walked over.

Under the stage, Su Qianyun, who was kneeling on the ground, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Bai Ruiqi, who was sitting by the side, had a hint of disappointment in her eyes, but she hid it too deeply, no one noticed it.

Su Xiyun glanced at Su Qianyun from a distance, gave her a reassuring look, and then turned her gaze to Princess Duanning who had already picked up the brush and started to repaint, feeling a bit of strong interest in her.

A woman who is not arrogant or impetuous, who can maintain a normal heart even when her opponent has clearly defeated her, is very rare in ancient times, and she is also a noble princess!This attitude is even more commendable.

Moreover, being able to take the initiative to help his opponent save the destroyed painting shows that Duanning really loves painting.

If possible, Su Xiyun really wanted to be friends with Princess Duanning, just because they both love painting.

Time passed slowly, and when everyone was looking forward to it, the painting was finally corrected.

Princess Duanning put down the pen, glanced at it with satisfaction, then signaled the palace servants to pick it up, and held it in front of the queen and everyone.

Princess Duanning added a few strokes of brown paint to the place where the tea was splashed just now, and painted it into a withered lotus leaf.Immediately, the entire style of painting changed accordingly, with a hint of depression, but looking at it, it was a completely different style.

When the queen saw her, she finally showed a smile again. She gave Duanning an approving look, and said with a smile, "That's right, girl Duanning's painting skills have improved to a higher level!"

Hearing the Queen's praise, Duanning said modestly: "Your Majesty is absurdly praised, Duanning should work harder." She originally wanted to say in public what she wanted to ask Su Xiyun for advice, but after thinking about it, it's still worth it. It's better to put it at the bottom, otherwise, the mother and concubine will look coldly at Miss Su San again.

Concubine Liang sat there with that smug expression on her face again. At this moment, she finally stopped sarcasm Su Xiyun.

"Okay, young lady Bai, get up! If you are not careful, I don't blame you." The queen turned her head and said to Su Qianyun who was kneeling not far away.

"Thank you, ma'am!" But there were two different voices. It turned out that Su Xiyun also knelt down to thank the queen when she saw that the queen had forgiven Su Qianyun.

"Everyone get up!" Seeing Su Xiyun kneeling down, the queen quickly reached out to help her up. Now, she is more and more satisfied with her future daughter-in-law.

All the girls in the hall showed jealousy when they saw the scene where the queen and Su Xiyun were so intimate.

Su Qianyun thanked again, then returned to the chair and sat down again.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry." Bai Ruiqi who was on the side hurriedly said in a low voice, her delicate and pitiful appearance made people feel very unbearable to blame her.

Sure enough, Su Qianyun sighed, and said in a low voice, "Be careful in the future, you know?" It's not her fault.

A happy smile appeared on Bai Ruiqi's face, she grabbed Su Qianyun's hand, and said with a smile like a flower, "I know my sister-in-law treats me the best!"

Su Xiyun sat beside the queen, watching this scene from a distance, her eyes gradually became cold.

Just when everyone was praising Princess Duanning, suddenly a palace official hurried in and whispered a few words in the queen's ear.

The queen's expression changed suddenly.
