In a pavilion in the bamboo forest, two men and a woman are competing in painting skills, painting the scenery of the bamboo forest.

The three of them are side by side, one person has a painting table, and the woman in the middle is wearing a pearl and emerald ivory comb, wearing a crescent-colored shirt, her appearance is elegant, and her demeanor is dignified, this is that Chen Ling.

The one on the left is Li Yue, and the one on the right is the Six Princes.

There were men and women waiting for the results, and everyone stood in twos and threes, afraid of disturbing the three, and whispered.

A stick of incense time passed, and the painting was completed. They all came forward by the maid to show everyone to appreciate.

I have to say that Chen Ling is called "Little Painting Immortal has a lot of strength, at least today's painting bamboo is to compare Li Yue and scholars like the Six Princes."

Listening to everyone's praise, Pang Dai was in a worse mood today, first Xie Ying, and then Chen Ling, who was still in her house today, and they all took away her limelight.

can still be concubines after the three, she can't stiffen the relationship, or the two of them can't get along.

"Sister Chen is really good at painting, so I am ashamed of my sister!" Pang Dai stepped forward and pretended to take a closer look at the painting: "But my sister looks at something missing." ”

"What's missing?" Chen Ling looked puzzled, but in fact she was quite disdainful in her heart, she didn't think Pang Dai was qualified enough to comment on her paintings.

The sixth prince thought that she was questioning Chen Ling's paintings, and spoke out to defend: "Miss Chen's painting skills are exquisite, I will wait for you." ”

"I'm not saying there's something wrong with Sister Chen's paintings." Pang Dai explained slowly.

"What's the problem?" The Sixth Prince was curious.

Everyone also looked at Pang Dai with curiosity.

Pang Dai liked this feeling of being the focus of everyone, and said with a smile on his face: "Inscription! How can such a good painting be without an inscription! ”

"I see." Everyone suddenly realized and began to express their opinions again.

Chen Ling didn't speak, not that she forgot, but that she had practiced painting hard over the years, but her poetry was average.

"Sister, I have a good suggestion, just now Sister Xie told us that she is now a little successful in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I think it is better to let her write an inscription for my sister." Pang Dai looked at Chen Ling and pretended to be warm-hearted: "What does my sister think?" ”

"Okay." Chen Ling nodded.

The two decided on this matter, but they didn't ask her whether the party agreed or not, Pang Dai hated her, she knew, but why was this Chen Ling?

For the second highness just now?

Although she said that she had achieved something small, she didn't mean it that way. Compared to these women with complicated houses, she is still too tender.

"Sister Xie, don't shirk, I believe Sister Xie's decision will not disappoint." Pang Dai walked up to Xie Ying's side and pulled her into the pavilion.

Whether Xie Ying's writing is good or bad today, the relationship between the two of them will not be good in the future. Chen Ling is not an open-minded person, and she hates others getting involved in the things she likes.

Xie Ying's words and poems are very good, but the words she writes are magnificent, not suitable for people, or easy to cause criticism.

Later, when her grandmother saw her copying the font of the Buddhist scriptures, she felt that it was too arrogant, and asked her husband to teach her boudoir style again.

Now she writes the words and the painting well, and adds an ordinary little word, which is not eye-catching, which is very good.

Soon, a small poem in boudoir style jumped on the paper:

The years are advancing in the world, and there are many colorful clouds here.

How many times can you get it in the bamboo forest?

The crowd whispered softly and bluntly spoke good poems.

"It's a good thing." The sixth prince looked at Xie Ying with a happy expression. "It turns out that Miss Xie Er also understands poetry."

"His Royal Highness the Sixth is overrated." Xie Ying saluted and thanked her.

Mu Yao was very happy that he finally spoke to her.

"Sister Xie's poetry is also very good!" Chen Ling walked over to Xie Ying with a smile, "I don't know if I can invite my sister to learn painting art that day." ”

"Sister Chen doesn't know, my sister is a calligrapher and painter in Qinqi, but she is the most incomprehensible in painting, but she doesn't dare to get an axe." Xie Ying hurriedly shirked.

"So that's the case, I don't know if it's my sister, I hope my sister won't blame." Chen Ling made an apologetic expression at the right time.

"My sister doesn't know, how can my sister blame, my sister went down first." With that, he walked down the steps of the gazebo.

"Second Miss Xie is really both civil and military!" Li Yue, who was on the side, stepped forward to praise.

"I'm just a little bit out of business." Is it appropriate for this Li Yue to say that she is a boudoir woman, both civil and military?

"But Li Gongzi should introspect as a man." did not hesitate to ridicule him for his poor studies.

"What Miss Xie Er said is that Li has been taught." Li Yue pretended to be instructed.

Just as Li Yue and Xie Ying were chatting, a panic suddenly broke out in the crowd below.

"Snakes! There are snakes! ”

"Cousin Xuan's voice!" Li Yue exclaimed, and the two of them hurriedly looked over.

On the lawn, boys and girls were running around, leaving only Zhang Xuan and Song Xin standing in place, and a snake was looking at Zhang Xuan with its neck stretched out.

Zhang Xuan seemed to want to escape, but was dragged by Song Xin on the side. It seems that Song Xin understands something, if you move when you encounter a snake, the snake will follow you.

"Chunqin, go find Steward Lin and ask him to call someone to catch snakes." Pang Dai said with an eager face, she is the master of the family today, and she can't let people have accidents.

Xie Ying thought about it and didn't plan to step forward, after all, it was not good to expose her martial arts skills in front of everyone, and Zhang Xuan was fine at the moment, and the snake didn't look poisonous.

Who knew that in the middle of the stalemate, the snake suddenly pounced on Zhang Xuan.

"Ahh Zhang Xuan screamed.

"Boom!" At the same time there was the sound of a dagger falling to the ground.

Zhang Xuan thought she would be bitten by a snake, but who knew that she closed her eyes and waited for a while, and nothing happened.

Hurriedly opened his eyes and looked down to see that there was a silver-gray dagger inserted in the seven inches of the snake, and the handle was inlaid with mutton fat white jade, and peony flowers were engraved on it.

The snake struggled a few times before never moving again, some of the snake's blood splattered on its clothes.

She looked in the direction where the dagger was coming from Xie Ying, who was holding the scabbard. immediately knew that it was Xie Ying who saved him, and hurriedly pulled Song Xin to run over.

"Sister Sakura, I thought I was going to die." Probably escaped, Zhang Xuan burst into tears.

"What are you talking about, aren't you living a good life?" Xie Ying's handkerchiefs wiped her tears for Zhang Xuan.

The silver-gray dagger reflected a cold light in the sunlight.

On the side of the rockery stood the second prince Mu Jue, the third prince Mu Po, and the fifth prince Mu Jin, the three of them were playing against each other, and suddenly heard a scream, and hurriedly walked over to take a look.

was about to let the guards around him catch the snake, who knew that the snake suddenly pounced, and Xie Ying shot faster, and the three of them had a full view of the scene just now.

"It seems that our sister-in-law in the future will be excellent in martial arts, but I don't know how my eldest brother feels when he knows about this." The third prince looked at Mu Jue with a mocking expression.

"yes, that's pretty good." Mu Jue didn't turn his head, only looked at Xie Ying's direction and echoed faintly.

The Lin steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly led someone to clean up the snake, cleaned the dagger and returned it to Xie Ying.

Xie Ying took the dagger and put it in her sleeve. She felt that everyone's eyes had changed when they looked at her, and she was a little jealous.

She knew that she was in trouble today, and her grandmother would scold her when she returned. And I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to make friends again in the future.

But if it were to happen all over again, she would still do it, and she would not regret it.

"Thank you so much for today's events, sister." Pang Dai walked over and took Xie Ying's hand, with a look of gratitude, but the joy in his eyes was too obvious.

Xie Ying didn't see it: "Sister Pang doesn't have to be polite, but now Sister Xuan is surprised, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time, I want to accompany Sister Xuan back first." Please forgive me. ”

"Sister Xie is a serious person, how can I blame her." After speaking, he went over and took Zhang Xuan's hand and said: "Today is also the errand pool in our house, and after I tell my mother, I will definitely come to the door to ask for guilt." ”

"Sister Pang didn't mean it, but she still needs my sister to send someone to the banquet to inform my mother and sister-in-law, I will go back first." Zhang Xuan stopped crying, and her little face was pale and pitiful.

Xie Ying, Zhang Xuan, and Song Xin went back first.

As Xie Ying thought, at the dinner party later, her various things today were spread by everyone, and she had a reputation, but it was just the reputation of those women who shouldn't be in the boudoir.

After returning to the Yasukuni Mansion, Xie Yingfu stayed quietly in Yingyun Temple, waiting for her grandmother to send someone to ask her to go to the Buddhist hall for questioning.

"Miss, you should take the slave and maid to the Prime Minister's Mansion today, so that the slave and maid will catch the snake, and you will not shoot the snake yourself, Miss." Ah Zhen looked at Xie Ying sitting by the window with a sad face.

"Needless to say, what should come will always come."

"Miss, it's the slave who didn't stop Miss today, please punish Miss." Ah Ran on the side suddenly knelt on the ground and spoke.

Xie Ying turned her head to look at Ah Ran who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "You can see everything?" ”

"The slave only guessed one or two points." Ah Ran only lowered his head and spoke.

Listening to the words of the two, Ah Zhen's face was full of shock: "Miss, could it be that someone is targeting you?" ”

"yes!" Xie Ying was calm.

When she returned, she thought about the day's events all over again.

First she played butterflies in the garden and stole the limelight from Pang Dai, so later she wanted to target her in Cuiwei Pavilion, who knew that Mu Jue would take action on her behalf, I am afraid that her light steps were exposed when she visited the garden...

Later, Pang Dai in the bamboo forest said that she wanted her to face Chen Ling, but she noticed it and resolved it silently.

Finally the snake appeared... A snake that should be made into a soup in the kitchen.

The snake must have been deliberately done by someone, but it couldn't be Pondai, after all, she wouldn't be stupid enough to deal with her regardless of her reputation.

So...... She guessed that Chen Ling did it, she was the granddaughter of the right minister, and the left minister Pang Guan and the right minister Chen Ji have always been incompatible.

Today, Chen Ling dares to do this, it must be in line with the wishes of the right minister, it seems that Chen Ling can overshadow the limelight of his concubine, and he does have some ability.

Now that the granddaughters of the two are married to different princes, it seems that they both have ideas about that position, and the prince's situation is really worrying......

And the fact that she competed with Mu Jue today was too self-conscious, so she should introspect.
