"Your Majesty." Lan Yingying called, but didn't know what to say.

The emperor will not give her another chance to lose face: "If you are not feeling well, please retreat first." ”

The cold tone made Lan Yingying's fist under her sleeve tighten.

She gritted her teeth and followed the emperor's gaze, and that position was the woman.

What kind of magic did she use, and she actually hooked the emperor's soul!

made another note in her heart, and Lan Yingying's expression was faint, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Your Majesty, the concubines can still hold on, there are still a few younger sisters' performances behind, there have just been so many accidents, and the concubines are good to check here."

The emperor didn't even look at it, but only said "um" casually, which made Lan Yingying feel more and more jealous in her heart.

Sitting down with peace of mind, Lan Yingying waved her hand, took a step forward in the autumn evening, and leaned forward slightly.

"Tell me to go on, and there must be no more mistakes in the future, otherwise..."

Qiu Wan nodded and quietly retreated through the back door.

Today originally wanted the sisters of the Lan family to shine at the state banquet, but the reputation of the Lan family was bad because of Lan Ziyi's affairs.

As a result, it's not an extravagant prospect to shine now, as long as you can perform normally and don't make your reputation more stinky.

"Next is the fourth lady of the Lan family, who wants to paint a landscape painting for everyone."

The voice of the little eunuch fell, and the scene was indeed another commotion.

Lan Mengyun slowly walked into the main hall, raised her head and came into contact with Lan Yingying's warning sight, and suddenly became smart.

"The courtiers have seen the emperor, the imperial concubine." Lan Mengyun kowtowed, and there were already eunuchs who put on drawing boards, paints, and brushes.

"You have been painting since you were a child, your ability is still trustworthy in this palace, and today all the civil and military officials are here, you can't lose the face of our Lan family, you know?" Lan Yingying's gentle opening.

But Lan Mengyun on the ground trembled suddenly, and didn't dare to speak for a long time.

"Do you hear that?" Lan Yingying's voice came again.

Lan Mengyun shrank her head and nodded, but she didn't even dare to speak.

Lan Yingying, who looked at this picture, was angry again, and secretly scolded in her heart for not being able to get on the stage.

The emperor was not very satisfied, so he only said lightly: "Okay, let's draw quickly." ”

Lan Mengyun stood up with her head down, and silently walked in front of the things that had been prepared, and everyone on the field was waiting to see the joke.

"Do you think she can draw it?"

"I guess it's more likely that she can draw it, if she also has a problem, how can the imperial concubine still let her come to power?"

Another interjected: "Not necessarily. ”

Speaking of this, the man suddenly lowered his voice: "Didn't you hear the threat from the imperial concubine's mouth?" It is estimated that she is planning to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, you look at her appearance, I guess there is something hidden. ”

"Otherwise, let's be generous, I'll bet a hundred taels of silver, and this time the Lan family can paint normally."

"If you want to bet, bet a little bigger, I'll bet a thousand taels, this time she guesses she will still make jokes."

Unlike the thoughtful people above, they chatted enthusiastically off the court, and even set up a gambling game in private.

Although Lan Wan'er paid attention to Lan Yingying and Lan Mengyun, she still had half of her mind below, and when she heard them open a gambling game, her smile became bigger and bigger, and her heart was also eager to try.

But she was being stared at by the emperor and Lan Yingying, and she had no chance at all.

Sighing secretly in her heart, she could only silently look at Lan Mengyun.

She heard it, and Lin Sheng naturally heard it.

He had long been tired of seeing Lan Yingying bullying his hard-won sister, and now that he finally had the opportunity to disgust them, Lin Sheng was naturally happy.

"Count me in, I bet she can't draw it, bet 10,000 taels!"

The corners of Lan Wan'er's mouth twitched fiercely, she didn't expect that her eldest brother still had this leisurely feeling.

At the same time, on the stage, Lan Mengyun looked at the paint and brush beside her, and her brain was clouded.

That's not right, it's different from what she's been practicing hard for a month.

When she usually communicates, there are several kinds of pigments, and she can have any color if she wants, but why are there only three now?

There are also brushes, the barrel of each pen is the same, only the tip of the pen is different, how can she distinguish it?

Because of the tight time, she doesn't have much time to recognize the brush, and she usually uses the pen to distinguish when she practices, what can she do now?

She froze in place with a blank face, which made the minds of those who had just bet her win.

"What was she thinking?"

"Hehe, isn't that obvious? Can't draw. ”

"Tsk, don't do porcelain work without that diamond, one by one I think I have a lot of ability, and I don't even dare to lift a pen."

"It's nonsense, just in case, just in case, in case she's thinking about how to write." The person who bet on her to win is still looking for comfort for himself, and he is reasoning.

Because Lin Sheng gambled 10,000 taels, they had to bet at least 5,000 taels on their side, although they discussed it in the end and only spent 2,000 taels to go out, but it was also a silver for nothing.

It's not like they have a lot of money and nowhere to spend it! Two thousand taels is already a lot of money, and in those poor families, it is likely to be the cost of a family's life.

"Haha, don't be stupid, I just said that she couldn't draw it, don't you believe it, even if she can't draw it, what's the matter if she can't even move?"

The man stopped talking, looked at Lan Mengyun silently, and prayed for her in his heart.

Lan Yingying also noticed her abnormality and frowned.

Qiu Wan walked back quickly, her breath was a little uneven, "Niangniang, it's not good, the paint prepared for the fourth lady at the palace banquet is not mixed, and the brush is also the most primitive." ”

"What?" Lan Yingying looked back at her in disbelief.

Because she was so surprised, she couldn't help but speak a little louder, and she could hear it clearly in the silent hall.

"Imperial Concubine, what's wrong?" The emperor looked back at her, and his tone was quite dissatisfied.

This woman has also given her enough face today, why hasn't she made enough trouble.

"It's fine." Lan Yingying quickly came back to her senses and thought about a solution.

The emperor frowned, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Lan Mengyun below: "Why don't you start yet?" ”

Lan Mengyun was startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Courtier, courtier..."

I didn't know what to say for a long time.

Do you want to say that she doesn't know the brush? Don't you know how to mix pigments? If she can't protect her when she goes back like that, Lan Yingying will strangle her to death.

"Your Majesty, the concubine's sister is a little timid." Lan Yingying smiled and played a round, and then looked at Lan Mengyun.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Didn't Daddy's letter say that you were ready to draw something at the state dinner? ”

As she spoke, she smiled at the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubine's sister may be the first time to draw in front of so many people, and she is a little nervous, why don't you let the concubine go down and enlighten her?" ”

The emperor nodded and agreed.

Lan Wan'er looked at Lan Yingying sarcastically.

Looks like they know something is wrong.

Even if she knew, what could she do, the game she set up was not something she could get out of if she figured it out.

Lan Yingying walked towards Lan Mengyun, and with every step she took, Lan Mengyun felt like she was stepping on her heart and fell straight to the bottom.

"What's wrong?" Lan Yingying smiled lightly and held Lan Mengyun's hand, helped her up, and used her hand hard.

Lan Mengyun was in pain and almost screamed, but because of Lan Yingying's deterrence, she didn't dare to make a sound.

"No, it's fine." Lan Mengyun shook her head, then glanced at the paint and brush: "Niangniang, sister Chen, this paint is different from what Sister Chen usually uses." ”

"Really?" Lan Yingying looked at the paint and brush, her face changed instantly, and then she looked in the direction of the Lin family.

"Lord Lin, this palace remembers that you are responsible for the arrangement of pen and ink at this palace banquet." Lan Yingying tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart.

Lin Cheng was named, stood up and bowed down and replied, "Back to the imperial concubine, it was indeed arranged by the old minister. ”

"Who arranged it?" Lan Yingying asked, but her eyes had already swept to Lan Xuan'er.

Who but this slut will go against her.

"This... The minister just let his subordinates order him to go down, and he didn't know who arranged it. Lin Cheng replied.

Of course he knew who arranged it, but he couldn't say.

Lan Yingying's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "The state banquet is so important, but you are so careless, have you taken this state banquet to heart!" ”

"The minister is terrified, I don't know what the imperial concubine means." Lin Cheng said: "Since it is something that can be taken out at the palace banquet, the minister has definitely been carefully reviewed, and each level is strictly controlled to ensure that there will be no problems." ”

Lan Yingying snorted coldly, pointed to the brush and paint, and said, "Then how should you explain this?" This kind of brush and paint is not usually used by the sister of Hongu at all, this is what you call there will be no problems? ”

Lin Cheng looked at it and looked embarrassed: "The minister doesn't understand what the imperial concubine means, there is nothing wrong with these things!" Isn't this the kind of thing used to paint? ”

Lan Yingying choked and understood what Lin Cheng meant.

But that's not what she wants!

"The Lan family shouldn't have reported this kind of paint and brush to the top!" In front of everyone's eyes, especially the emperor's unkind eyes, Lan Yingying could only speak hard.

"I'm sorry, but if it's a painting, it's always been this kind of paint and brush." Lin Cheng said.

Lan Yingying is angry, is this Lin Cheng determined to go against her?

"If you have a special request, you can prepare according to the requirements, are you preparing to disobey the order! Lin Cheng, what kind of crime should you be guilty of! ”

At this time, Lan Yingying couldn't take care of so much, she must beat this family down and oppose her everywhere.

finally caught a handle, and didn't punish him heavily, how could she be worthy of these depressions she had!

"Imperial concubine, I want to know, is your sister really proficient in painting?" Lan Wan'er stood up unhurriedly and looked at Lan Yingying.

Lan Yingying's face turned cold: "It's not your turn to intervene here, her affairs can be put aside first, but Lord Lin's crime can be decided as soon as possible." ”

Lan Wan'er smiled, and Lan Yingying was even more suspicious.
