The Jia family was timid, and the prince was also persuaded by the officials of the Zhan Mansion.

"The lower official checked it, some time ago in the annual examination of the Women's Academy, Miss Zhao Wu won the first place......" The official said the contradiction between Zhao Ruxi and Xiao Yuyue.

At the beginning, Xiao Yuyue didn't expect that Zhao Ruxi would refuse their solicitation, and only thought about slapping the eldest princess of Shangde in the face, so when she went to Suiping Bofu to recruit Zhao Ruxi, not only did she not hide her whereabouts, but made a big fanfare.

This time, the rumors pointed directly at Zhao Ruxi, and the officials of the Zhan Mansion found out the reason as soon as they checked it.

"There are all kinds of indications that this is because Concubine Jin and the county lord of Pingyang have a conflict with Miss Zhao Wu, and want to borrow a knife to kill someone, so they asked someone to instigate in your ear."

When the prince heard this, the first reaction in his mind was that the eunuch who said this in his ear was a pawn buried by someone else.

"You check Grandpa Deng and see who he has been in contact with recently." He commanded.

The official was very relieved to see that the prince came back to his senses as soon as he persuaded him, and replied respectfully: "Yes." "Even if the prince doesn't tell them, they will still investigate.

The officials of the Zhan Mansion are all tied to the crown prince.

The crown prince successfully ascended the throne, and they, as the original henchmen of the prince's mansion, will naturally rise to the top and be reused; If the crown prince is deposed, neither of them will end well.

Therefore, it is very important to keep the prince from being bewitched by villains with ulterior motives.

Before leaving, he persuaded the prince again: "That Miss Zhao is Mr. Deadwood's apprentice, and she has a very good relationship with her master and brother. Mr. Deadwood has always been respected by the emperor, and their faction is a neutral stream. If they knew that His Royal Highness was targeting Miss Zhao Wu, they might change their neutral stance and turn to the other princes' faction. ”

"In addition, His Royal Highness has nothing to do with the Jia family. But if His Royal Highness wants to target Miss Zhao Wu and fall into the eyes of the emperor, he will think that you are angry with Miss Zhao because you lost the help of the Jia family, and you have done something that you didn't have. It can be said that it is not a wise move to target Miss Zhao Wu with all kinds of harm but no benefit. In the future, no matter who says in front of you that you are targeting Miss Zhao Wu, it will be harboring evil intentions. I also hope that His Royal Highness will be clear. ”

"Don't worry, it's all over the place." Prince Road.

In the past few years, he has suffered several big losses openly and secretly, and he is getting older, and now he is much calmer in doing things, and he is no longer as impulsive as before, and he can't listen to people's persuasion.

But as the crown prince, he is a bright boss, and over the years, all factions and departments have placed people around him. The people around him are really complicated. Nor can he believe all the things they say. Who is loyal and who is traitorous needs to be screened, which is really a headache for him.

For example, the one in front of him, everything he says is for his good. But I don't know if it's really good, or if I want to gain his trust in order to stab him in the back at a critical moment.

has been in such an environment for a long time, and it is no wonder that he is suspicious, irritable and irritable.

Xiao Yuyue waited for a few days, and the next day was the final day, and neither the prince nor the Jia family moved.

She is not in a hurry, after all, only the ranking of the finals comes out, Zhao Ruxi won the first place, and Kang Shilin's charges of favoritism can be confirmed. That's the best time to attack them.

The venue for the finals is no longer Guozijian's schoolhouse. The talent contest was held to give talented people a chance to make a name for themselves, so it was placed on the more lively Yongning Street.

The street of this street is relatively wide, and four horse-drawn carriages can walk side by side, and it is one of the main streets of the previous champions and Tanhua Horse Tour Street.

During the competition, the government divided the two ends into two ends, and then divided the long street into six sections, with one section for each of the six competitions of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and mathematics, and the public could walk and watch outside the competition venue.

As for the two martial arts competitions, which are of a somewhat martial nature, they are chosen in a larger and more open place to avoid danger.

Many participants were worried about missing the hour and arrived at the competition site early.

The positions in the finals are based on the position in the semi-finals. The first place is placed in the first position on the right side of the field, and the second and third are ranked in the back in turn.

Those who learn to paint have a teacher, and they often hold an art exhibition, and everyone observes each other. I've been in a circle for a long time, and I'm familiar with each other.

The young man in the fourth place was in his twenties, and when he saw that the table in the first place was still empty, and the person had not yet arrived, he couldn't help but stop the young man in the third place in front of him and asked, "Brother Lin, do you know who occupies the first table?" ”

Brother Lin shook his head: "I don't know." ”

The preliminary round and semi-final are on the list, but only the names that fall on the painting will be announced.

The two know that no matter whether it is the preliminary round or the semi-final, the first place is a person named "Zhiwei". It's just that the two followed the teacher to contact some people in the painting world, but they have never seen this "Zhiwei" painting. Therefore, for this sudden first place, I always muttered in my heart.

There is a rule in the talent contest that participants must be under the age of 30.

After all, although these talents talk about talent, they also talk about accumulation. You're a sixty-year-old man who's been immersed in talent for forty or fifty years, and you're going to compete with teenagers, even if you're at the top, you can't win.

When the second person in front heard this, he turned around and said, "I heard about it." ”

"Oh?" The second and third places and the twelve people who had arrived next to him all looked at him curiously, "Who is it?" Brother Zhang, tell me about it. ”

"Half a year ago, Mr. Deadwood accepted an apprentice and gave her the name Zhiwei. This Zhiwei should be the Zhiwei in the first place. The first young man surnamed Zhang said.

"Isn't it?" The third exclaimed in surprise.

Because of Mr. Deadwood's superb painting skills and transcendent status, many people have wanted to worship him as a teacher over the years, but Mr. Deadwood has refused.

Unexpectedly, half a year ago, he suddenly accepted a female apprentice, but you can imagine how much of a sensation this incident caused in the painting world, and everyone is very curious about who can enter the eyes of Mr. Deadwood, who is above the top.

However, Mr. Deadwood has not participated in their calligraphy and painting exchange meeting for many years, and after accepting the apprentice, he is not interested in bringing the apprentice to this kind of exchange meeting to show everyone to satisfy everyone's curiosity, so no one has ever seen the little girl named Zhiwei, let alone her paintings.

Of course, this is an external statement.

In fact, Kang Shilin, who loves dazzling apprentices, doesn't want to bring his apprentices to show everyone. It's just that Zhao Ruxi was drawing sketches at the time, and he didn't have time to learn painting from Kang Shilin. Take her out to participate in this kind of exchange meeting, Zhao Ruxi always wants to bring a painting of his own for everyone to appreciate, right? What can be taken is a sketch, what does it have to do with Kang Shilin? Kang Shilin naturally felt faceless.

Later, Zhao Ruxi learned painting from him, and even created a new painting method. But at that time, Kang Shilin felt that this kind of exchange would not be worthy of his own excellent little apprentices.

The level of painting of the little apprentices is not much higher than that of those old guys at the exchange meeting, but they still have to perform junior salutes in front of them; The old guy's apprentices may be jealous of Xian Xian's ability and say a few sour words to squeeze her. Isn't that unpleasant for the little apprentice? Wouldn't it be nice to have that time for the busy little apprentice to rest?

Therefore, Zhao Ruxi has been a teacher of Kang Shilin for so long, except for the few people who learned sketching with her, no one else knows Zhao Ruxi, let alone her level of painting.
