Chapter 215: Stratagem
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao was speechless for a while, Xiaocao had already said so, she couldn't hit Xiaocao's confidence, in case Xiaocao was sad because of this, what should it be? But Zhao Qingzao thought about it, and still felt that everything was Shen Changting's fault, if it wasn't for him talking nonsense in front of Xiaocao, how could Xiaocao be convinced that he would definitely win the competition?
Thinking like this, Zhao Qingzao turned his head and glared at Shen Changting again, making Shen Changting hurriedly say, "Qingzao, Xiaocao is still waiting for you to answer." β
Hearing Shen Changting say this, Zhao Qingzao reacted at this time, so he hurriedly said to Xiaocao: "Xiaocao, of course my mother will believe you, but there is always a case, so if you don't win the competition, you can't be sad because of it, you know?"
"Mother, Xiaocao knows. Xiaocao nodded heavily, and he didn't know if he understood what Zhao Qingzao meant.
Because the results of the competition have not yet come out, after Zhao Qingzao and Xiaocao finished speaking, they let Xiaocao eat something delicious.
Seeing Xiaocao turn around and run away, Shen Changting hesitated for a while, and planned to leave with Xiaocao, but Zhao Qingzao immediately stopped Shen Changting, and then scolded: "Shen Changting, where are you going?
"Qingzao, I'm a little hungry, so I want to go eat something. Shen Changting shook his head helplessly, and then said to Zhao Qingzao.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao looked at Shen Changting, and after a while let Shen Changting leave, although she was very angry that Shen Changting had done so many things on his own initiative, but Shen Changting was also thinking about her and Xiaocao after all, so Zhao Qingzao didn't want to worry about this matter anymore, the results of the competition had not come out yet, although Zhao Qingzao felt that Xiaocao would not win the competition, but for some reason, she had some vague expectations in her heart.
After Shen Changting walked away, Zhao Qingzao planned to go to the kitchen to cook something delicious, but he didn't expect Zhao Qingzao to go far, and he actually saw Chi Fenglai, because he didn't expect Chi Fenglai to appear in the Confucian Academy at all, so Zhao Qingzao was immediately stunned, and it took a while to react.
"Zhao Qingzao, why are you here?" Chi Fenglai also saw Zhao Qingzao, and after walking in front of Zhao Qingzao, he asked angrily.
"Mrs. Prime Minister, why can't I be here? Just because Xiaocao is a student of the Confucian Academy, it's not surprising that I am here, but Mrs. Prime Minister, how could such a good person come to the Confucian Academy?" Zhao Qingzao secretly rolled his eyes, and then said to Chi Feng.
Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, Chi Fenglai was about to scold angrily, but he didn't expect Shen Kaiyuan and Han Yicheng to come over together, seeing this, Chi Fenglai hurriedly pretended to be very kind, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhao, Xiaocao is a smart child, maybe he can win the competition this time." β
Chi Fenglai changed inexplicably, Zhao Qingzao felt a little strange at first, but after hearing the voices of Shen Kaiyuan and Han Yicheng, Zhao Qingzao knew what was going on, and directly complained about Chi Fenglai's hypocrisy in his heart.
"The Prime Minister's wife is right, Xiaocao is indeed a smart child, not only has a talent for drawing, but also is very studious, and when he grows up, he may be able to become a talent. When Han Yicheng heard Chi Feng's words, he gave a thumbs up directly, and then praised Xiaocao again and again.
Just hearing Han Yicheng praise Xiaocao so much, Zhao Qingzao felt embarrassed, so he planned to leave secretly while no one was paying attention, so as not to have to deal with these people later.
"Miss Zhao, it turns out that you are also here, and you should be very happy when Xiaocao really wins the competition later, right?" Unexpectedly, Han Yicheng saw Zhao Qingzao as soon as he turned his head, and said to Zhao Qingzao with a smile.
After all, Han Yicheng is the dean of Confucian Academy, and he is also Han Guang's father, if Han Yicheng hadn't let Xiaocao go to school in Confucian Academy, Xiaocao wouldn't have been able to see Shen Changting so early, so although Zhao Qingzao wanted to leave immediately, he still said to Han Yicheng with a smile: "Yes, if Xiaocao can really win the competition, of course I, as a mother, will be happy." β
"Why did you come to the academy?Is there something going on in the mansion?" Shen Kaiyuan frowned slightly, and said to Chi Feng with some unhappiness.
Since the ugly affair between Shen Changque and Bai Qingwei was shaken out, Shen Kaiyuan has been too lazy to deal with Chi Fenglai and Shen Changque, the mother and son, Shen Kaiyuan is also the prime minister of the dynasty no matter how he says, but Shen Changque actually did that kind of ugly thing with Bai Qingwei, and Bai Qingwei also said categorically in front of Bai Shangshu that Shen Changque coaxed her, Bai Shangshu loves Bai Qingwei very much, plus this incident has damaged Bai Qingwei's reputation, Bai Shangshu is naturally angry, and because of this, he is angry with Shen Kaiyuan, and he has found a lot of trouble for Shen Kaiyuan in the court, which makes Shen Kaiyuan feel very headacheγ
Just because Chi Fenglai didn't teach Shen Changque well, as a result, Shen Changque caused such a big trouble, it's strange that Shen Kaiyuan is not angry, where will he have a good face when he sees Chi Fenglai.
Chi Fenglai probably knew that Shen Kaiyuan was still angry with him, so even if Shen Kaiyuan spoke coldly to him, Chi Fenglai still smiled and said: "Master, Changque specially invited Bai Shangshu to the mansion, and now Bai Shangshu is waiting for you in the mansion, I know that the master wants to meet Bai Shangshu, so I hurried over and told the master about it." β
It seems that Chi Fenglai really knows Shen Kaiyuan very well, and he also knows that Shen Kaiyuan wants to talk to Bai Shangshu most now, and ask Bai Shangshu not to go against him anymore, so no matter whether Shen Changque is happy or not, Chi Fenglai also forced Shen Changque to invite Bai Shangshu to the Prime Minister's mansion, in order to let Shen Kaiyuan dissipate his anger.
Sure enough, after listening to Chi Feng's words, Shen Kaiyuan's eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly asked Chi Fenglai, "You said that Bai Shangshu is in our mansion?"
"Master, of course it's true, Changque is good at talking, and finally invited Bai Shangshu to the house. Chi Fenglai's eyes narrowed when he smiled, and said to Shen Kaiyuan.
Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao looked at Chi Fenglai, thinking that Chi Fenglai was really not easy to deal with, seeing that Shen Kaiyuan was so happy, it was estimated that Chi Fenglai would be able to take this opportunity to let Shen Kaiyuan forgive her and Shen Changque, I thought that I could take this opportunity to make Chi Fenglai and Shen Changque suffer, but I didn't expect Chi Fenglai to have a lot of ideas, and he thought of a foolproof plan so quickly.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go home now, don't let Bai Shangshu wait for a long time. Shen Kaiyuan seemed to be eager to return to the mansion, and immediately said to Chi Feng.
Hearing this, Chi Fenglai responded with a smile, and then planned to leave the Confucian Academy with Shen Kaiyuan, but he didn't expect that at this moment, the results of the competition came out, and Xiaocao actually won the painting competition!
After Zhao Qingzao knew the result, the whole person was stunned, because she never thought that Xiaocao could win the competition, no matter how Xiaocao was only a few years old, it was really surprising.
"Prime Minister, Xiaocao won the competition, as the eldest grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiaocao has given you a long face this time. Han Yicheng said to Shen Kaiyuan with a smile.
Although Xiaocao has not been taken back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the fact that he is the grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion is already recognized by everyone, so Chi Fenglai is so anxious and attacks Xiaocao several times.
Hearing Han Yicheng say this, Shen Kaiyuan stroked his beard and smiled very happily, Han Yicheng was right, Xiaocao, as the eldest grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion, won the painting competition of the Confucian Academy this time, which really made Shen Kaiyuan have a long face, and because of the secret knot between Shen Changque and Bai Qing's worries, Shen Kaiyuan's face was about to be lost, and now because Xiaocao won the competition, Shen Kaiyuan can also earn back a little face, how can he be unhappy.
Unlike others, Chi Feng was so angry that she was about to tear the handkerchief in her hand, she finally asked Shen Changque to invite Bai Shangshu to the mansion, thinking that she could make Shen Kaiyuan forgive herself and Shen Changque, but she didn't expect Xiaocao to win the competition, in Shen Kaiyuan's heart, Shen Changque was naturally inferior to Xiaocao.
"Dean Han, let's go and see Xiaocao now, this kid is really from our Shen family, and he can win the painting competition at such a young age, and I am very happy in my heart." Shen Kaiyuan smiled and nodded, he had already forgotten about going back to see Bai Shangshu, and after talking to Han Yicheng, Shen Kaiyuan planned to go directly to see Xiaocao.
Seeing this, Chi Fenglai hurriedly stopped Shen Kaiyuan and said, "Master, Bai Shangshu is still waiting in the mansion." β
"What's the hurry? If Bai Shangshu really can't wait for this moment, you can go back to the house to deal with it first, why do you find me a lot of trouble all day long?" Hearing Chi Feng's words, Shen Kaiyuan immediately said angrily.
Before the results of the competition came out, Shen Kaiyuan didn't feel that Chi Fenglai had found trouble for him, but now that there was something more gratifying, Shen Kaiyuan felt that Shen Changque invited Bai Shangshu to the mansion was not worth mentioning, so when he heard that Chi Feng was urging him to finish, Shen Kaiyuan naturally felt very impatient.
Hearing this, Chi Fenglai made a bitter face and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only watch Shen Kaiyuan and Han Yicheng go away.
"Mrs. Prime Minister, I'm going to see Xiaocao too, you should go back to the house to face Bai Shangshu, I don't know if Mrs. Prime Minister will be scolded by Bai Shangshu after returning home." Zhao Qingzao looked at Chi Feng and deliberately said to Chi Feng.
Because of Shen Changque and Bai Qing's worries, Bai Shangshu was originally very unhappy, Shen Changque invited Bai Shangshu to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a dead face, I thought that Shen Kaiyuan would go back to the house to see Bai Shangshu directly, but I didn't expect Shen Kaiyuan to go to see Xiaocao now, if Chi Fenglai returned to the mansion alone, he would definitely be scolded by Bai Shangshu who was waiting impatiently, Zhao Qingzao was an insider who guessed this, so he laughed at Chi Fenglai so much.
Hearing what Zhao Qingzao said, Chi Fenglai waited for Zhao Qingzao with a vicious face, but Zhao Qingzao was not afraid at all, this is the Confucian Academy, and there are students coming and going everywhere, even if Chi Fenglai wants to kill her again, what can he do? Could it be that the assassins can directly break in and kill people?
"Zhao Qingzao, you wait for me!" Chi Fenglai said fiercely.
