The regent walks with wind after his wedding

Chapter 278

For a while, the atmosphere was a little frozen and stalemate.

One of them is the prince of Beiyue, and the other is the regent of the Eastern Tang Dynasty. No one dares to speak casually to reconcile the atmosphere, for fear of offending them.The huge courtyard was obviously full of people, and it was as noisy as a vegetable market just now, but it was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

"Hahaha, since everyone is placing bets, then the king will also join in the fun!"

A burst of hearty and old laughter broke the stalemate, and everyone looked over, and it turned out to be Prince Xiao of Nancang Kingdom.That's right, among all the civil and military officials in the courtyard, only Prince Xiao is qualified to speak at this moment.

Everyone looked curiously at the gray-haired prince of filial piety walking over calmly, guessing who he would bet on to win.Prince Xiao is the old prince of Nancang Kingdom, so he should bet on Nancang students, right?
However, maybe he will bet on Beiyue students. After all, among the three students in this competition, only Beiyue students are really good at painting and have the greatest chance of winning.

In any case, it was impossible for him to bet on Mo Li.He is an old prince who is over fifty years old, after all, he has passed the age of being young and energetic, and spending a lot of money to win a woman's smile.

However, something unexpected happened again.I saw that Prince Xiao also took out 1000 taels of silver bills and put them in the tray of Dongtang students...

The accompanying officials of Nancang Kingdom wiped their eyes suspiciously for a while, and it was true that the old prince had indeed put the banknotes in Dongtang's tray.Prince Beiyue and the Regent of the Eastern Tang Dynasty bet on Mo Li, they can understand, after all, Mo Li looks like a fairy, maybe they are trying to win the heart of a beauty.

But Prince Xiao, he...

Prince Xiaoqin has never been a philandering prince. For so many years, Prince Xiaoqin and his concubine have always been deeply affectionate as husband and wife, and have never accepted side concubines or beautiful concubines.Besides, Prince Xiao is so old, and his granddaughter is as old as Mo Li.

Then there is only one reason: Prince Xiao is getting old, his old eyes are dim, and he can't read the words clearly.

A Nancang official reminded in a low voice: "Prince, that is the tray of our Nancang Kingdom."

"Hahaha," Prince Xiao didn't take back the replay at all, "Do you think my eyes are bad when I'm old? My eyes are sharp!
Regardless of whether Mo Li can win or not, this king is going to bet on this little girl. "

He smiled and looked at Mo Li, but there was a complicated pain hidden in his eyes: "The little girl is very suitable for my king's eyes, I will work hard to draw in a while." Although she is not the daughter of Princess Fengyao, she looks so similar. The fate of the two...

Although Mo Li didn't know that Prince Nancang Xiao would place a bet on her, she felt an inexplicable affection for him from the bottom of her heart. She blessed him and said with a smile: "Thank you, my lord, for your love, my daughter, do your best!" It is absolutely impossible for the old prince of Eastern Tang to do such a hasty thing, just because of the good luck, he will abandon the students of his own country and bet on her who is not favored by everyone?
As the regent is from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, it is natural to place a bet on her.Although Ye Qian is the prince of Beiyue, he is also the elder brother who dotes on her the most, so it is normal to bet on her.But Prince Xiao didn't know her before, and his position was different, so he also bet on her, which had a deep meaning...

It's just why, but she couldn't figure it out, she just felt that Prince Xiao looked at her differently from others.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Mo Li's pretty face, and the ladies couldn't help being a little jealous.Just because Mo Li was beautiful, she was obviously the worst one in painting, yet she got bets from the three most distinguished men present, how could they be satisfied?
Zhan Beiqing looked at Prince Xiao with inquisitive eyes, but Prince Xiao was like a kind old man who couldn't see anything.He gave Ye Qian another warning look before raising his voice: "The bet is over, everyone returns to their seats."

Everyone returned to their positions one after another, Zhan Beiqing stared at Ye Qian, and said with a straight face: "Prince, please!"

Ye Qian smiled gently: "Prince Regent, please!"

The two returned to their seats together, and the academician of the Imperial Academy announced: "The competition begins!
Since the three ladies were drawn to paint at the same time, I just found a girl, so I asked the three girls to draw the girl at the same time, and the painting time was one hour.

After an hour, the one who draws the most likeness wins. "

He clapped his hands, and a person dressed as a maid walked into the arena and blessed everyone.

All painting tools are ready, three sets.

The three ladies began to color and paint. Because the waiting time was long and boring, the academician of the Hanlin Academy specially arranged for a violinist to play beside him to add to the fun.

All the officials sipped tea while listening to the piano, and occasionally had a few low-pitched conversations, which was quite pleasant.

Students who are not eligible to sit, some stood on tiptoe to watch the three people painting in the arena, and some simply went out to breathe.

Mo Li picked up the pen and carefully drew the lines. She had studied painting in her previous life, and she was especially good at sketching and meticulous painting.In the school, because she was already very eye-catching in dance and piano skills, she intentionally restrained her painting skills.Unexpectedly, in order to win honor for the Houde Official Academy, they still have to use their strength.

Because the officials blocked the line of sight, Xiao Yuxuan and others stood on the outside, unable to see clearly what was going on inside.She was a little anxious and nervous: "I hope Mo Li can play super long." At least don't lose too badly.

Chu Qian glanced at her arrogantly: "A person who usually draws mediocrely, how can he be so good if he plays super long? Why, I feel sorry for your golden hairpin and jade pendant?"

Hearing her sarcasm, Xiao Yuxuan calmed herself down: "I have never regretted it, I only regret that I didn't bring enough jewelry and silver today."

"Oh, it's really sisterly love." Chu Qian glanced at Mo Yunmei, "I didn't know, I thought Miss Xiao and Mo Li were real sisters. I don't know where Miss Xiao has confidence in her?"

The headmaster reprimanded in a low voice: "No matter who you bet on, you shouldn't make fun of your classmates. Who can guarantee that you will just get the talent you are good at in the lottery in the afternoon?

Mo Li did her best for the academy on the field and painted seriously. No matter what others think or say, as classmates, you really shouldn't be ridiculed.Comparing your heart to your heart, if you are in the field, how would you feel? "

Xiao Yuxuan glared at Chu Qian and the others, and said, "The lesson in charge is, can someone else perform better than Mo Li?"

Feng Jiayin stared at Mo Li gloomyly through the gaps in the crowd. During the competition of the three major colleges last time, Mo Li made her make a fool of herself. When the painting is finished, she will definitely taunt Mo Li severely.No matter how the manager will blame her, she will make Mo Li look ugly first.

Mo Yunmei looked at the gray-haired Prince Xiao, and frowned puzzledly: "You say, why did Prince Xiao bet on Mo Li to win?"

Zhen Jing said arrogantly: "Whether it is the prince or the prince, there is no shortage of these 1000 taels of silver. The prince of filial piety bets on Mo Li to win, maybe it is to show his generosity, or maybe he just sympathizes with Mo Li."
