Seeing this, the fourth princess instructed the maid to send pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

When she heard that Ning Zhao was in the limelight, she wanted to see with her own eyes how capable this servant girl was.

The maid quickly sent the tools for painting, and Ning Zhao flattened the rice paper, picked up the brush and looked at it.

It's a royal thing, and even a paintbrush is a good wolf's hair.

Ning Zhao held the pen but didn't move, her eyes slowly swept around, watching those delicate flowers compete for beauty, and finally her eyes fell on the lotus in the lake.

The fourth princess waited for a long time, and when she saw that Ning Zhao hadn't started writing yet, she couldn't help frowning and urging: "Why hasn't Ning Erfei used to write?" ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of showing my cowardice in front of the fourth princess, don't I dare." With this weird tone of yin and yang, Ning Zhao didn't need to look at it to know who it was.

The young lady who sang and harmonized with Ning Jian can really be called a good best friend, and she always remembers to help Ning Jian suppress herself.

Ning Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, and gently hooked his lips, and he had a rudimentary form of the painting.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I'm starting."

Ignoring others, Ning Zhao said, dipped his pen in ink, and began to paint.

The stroke of the pen is smooth, such as the clouds and flowing water of the peers, and there is no pause during the period.

A few more strokes fell, and the covered bridge and water pavilion in the distance also fell on the painting.

There are people who are close to each other and can glimpse one or two, and many of them have real talents, and they can't help but light up their eyes, and they are looking forward to Ning Zhao's paintings.

The fourth princess had also been paying attention to her, but she sat on the main seat and couldn't see clearly, so she got up and walked to Ning Zhao's side.

It happened that Ning Zhao changed the cinnabar, and then combined it with other pigments to synthesize the same color as the Han in the pool.

The brush is lightly dipped in, the brushstrokes are fine and stable, and the flowers of different colors appear on the paper, lifelike!

Although the fourth princess looked down on Ning Zhao, she had to admit that Ning Zhao was quite good at Danqing.

However, thinking in her heart that it was one thing, the fourth princess said lightly: "Although Hanlian is beautiful, it has not yet opened, and it is indeed invincible, so it can only be regarded as beautiful." ”

is a pun, which can be regarded as a review of Ning Zhao's paintings.

Ning Zhao didn't want to get any appreciation, compared with being embarrassed, the word 'Qingxiu', Ning Zhao was very satisfied.

Some long-awaited ladies and ladies just wanted to get up and admire Ning Zhao after finishing the painting, but the fourth princess waved her sleeves and directly asked the maid to remove the painting.

Seeing this, Ning Zhao smiled at everyone, then turned to the fourth princess, and said softly: "The courtiers are only shallow in their studies, and they only know a little about Danqing. ”

The fourth princess raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and her gaze at Ning Zhao also changed, and she became interested.

Ning Jian saw that Ning Zhao had escaped a catastrophe, and she was unwilling, her eyes rolled, and after a while, a grim smile was revealed.

"Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess doesn't know, my sister is not Danqing the best." Ning Jian stood up as he spoke, blessed the fourth princess with a smile on her face, and then said: "The courtiers are not talented, and they also know a little about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and my sister is much more powerful than me." ”

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this.

Ning Jian is also a talented woman in Kyoto, although she can't be called the first, but she can also rank among the top few in the circle of noble women.

And this Ning Zhao is indeed the daughter of a little-known concubine, how good can the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting be.

Some of them understood, and the gaze staring at Ning Zhao also changed, just like the young ladies who Ning Zhao had befriended, they couldn't wait to see Ning Zhao's ugly appearance.

The fourth princess can also be regarded as one of the people who understands, since Ning Jian wants to make things difficult for this sister in a different way, why don't she become a whole family.

Boredom in the palace, just to pass the time and make yourself happy.

Ning Zhao was about to return to the banquet, but before he could take a step, Ning Zhao came again.

Ning Zhao sneered in his heart, and looked at Ning Jian with a smile.

Thinking that she was a noble concubine in her previous life, how could she be stumped by piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. But it's one thing to be good at it, being forced to show it is not as good as performing arts.

"The eldest sister laughed." Ning Zhao said lightly: "As we all know, the eldest sister is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how can the younger sister compare with the eldest sister." ”

"To be too modest is to be proud." Ning Jian looked at Ning Zhao with a smile and said, "Why should my sister be too humble. ”

"Since that's the case......" Ning Zhao changed his words and said with a smile: "It's rare that the fourth princess has Yaxing today, why don't you join the eldest sister with me to help everyone have fun!" ”

You still have to charge for performing arts, since Ning Lian likes it so much, why don't you go together?

"That's a good offer! It's better for one of you to accompany and dance, and the beautiful scenery and beauty will complement each other even better! "The fourth princess is lively and energetic, she has already helped set up the stage, how to perform depends on Ning Lian's own.

Ning Jian didn't expect Ning Zhao to pull her along, but after thinking about it, she didn't know what Ning Zhao was like since she was a child, she was very sure that she could overpower Ning Zhao in this regard!

"Then I'll be respectful and obey." Ning Jian replied, raised his feet to the center of the terrace, stood in front of Ning Zhao face to face, and pretended to say: "My sister is dressed in plain brocade, elegant and beautiful, and my sister is willing to match, how about accompaniment for you?" ”

"The eldest sister has arranged it, and I can do it all." Ning Zhao said lightly.

When Ning Jian heard this, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart - anyone can say big things, but I don't know if she can be so calm later.

After a while, the maid took the guqin, and Ning Lian elegantly pulled the skirt, knelt down, and slowly stroked the strings with her slender jade fingers.

The mellow and melodious sound of the guqin flows out, like the echo of a gurgling stream and an empty valley.

Ning Zhao stood in the middle of the terrace, with her back to everyone, and at the moment when the piano sounded, she pinched the orchid, pinched her sleeves to cover half of her cheeks, and when she looked back, only those clear eyes were revealed.

The tail of the eye is lightly picked, and the waves are sparkling, but it is charming but not glamorous.

Everyone present was a good dancer, but they were also attracted by Ning Zhao's glance.

However, in the water pavilion not far away, two eyes were also locked on Ning Zhao.

"That's it, Second Miss Ning......" The melodious sound of the piano came in a curling voice, but Murong Cheng had no time to appreciate it, and he could only see the pretty figure in his sight.

Jin Yuan slowly stood up, paced to the edge of the pavilion, and looked at Ning Zhao fixedly.

Her smile and every movement were deeply imprinted in Jin Yuan's eyes.

It is not an exaggeration to say that she is like a shock!

Since that day of separation, it has only been two days, and when he sees Ning Zhao again, Jin Yuan actually has a feeling like three autumns.

As everyone knows, when I dream back at midnight, I can often see this figure.

"It's really lively over there." Jin Yuan sighed.

"Hehe......" Murong Cheng walked to Jin Yuan's side and said with a smile: "Today, the fourth princess held a flower-viewing banquet and invited the nobles of Beijing to participate, I thought it was not very fun, but I didn't expect it to be so lively." ”

After finishing the matter, Murong Cheng proposed to go to the flower viewing banquet, however, the banquet was all women's dependents, Jin Yuan felt that it was inappropriate, Murong Cheng thought about it, and took Jin Yuan to the pavilion on the west side of the terrace.

"It's close here, and the palace has the right to enjoy the scenery, so how about having a few drinks with the palace without blame?"
