Dongfang understands the emperor's brother-in-law, he is a scheming and calculating person, and he will not say anything about it, but he always repays the people and is convinced, so he has to obey.

Now that Song Jiangzi is so slanderous about the princess's name, how could Emperor Xuanyuan simply invite him to be the judge?

Unless there is a plan for other purposes, there are many scheming!

"How does the emperor's brother-in-law treat him, despite the orders, I am willing to be a pawn." Dongfang is arrogant, angry for the princess "Qinglian", and he should rush forward bravely.

"Please tell the princess when chatting, and say that the palace painting academy will select gentlemen to teach the children of the royal family the art of painting, and anyone with lofty ideals can participate." Xuanyuan Xuanling began to calculate again.

"Why don't you just tell the princess?" The queen looked puzzled.

"Of course not, if you say it explicitly, it doesn't mean that the emperor's brother-in-law wants to invite someone princess to be a gentleman!" Dongfang bluntly pierced Xuanyuan Xuanling's scheming.

The queen still didn't quite understand, looked at Dongfang, and waited for him to continue.

"Sister, if the princess hears the news that anyone can participate in the selection of Mr. Art Academy, what do you think she will do?"

"With the princess's temperament, coupled with her good painting skills, she will definitely be eager to try." The queen pondered for a moment.

"Isn't that the end of it? At that time, the princess will come to beg our emperor, isn't she still grounded? What our emperor's brother-in-law wants is a princess to beg! In this way, there will be steps down? ”

Dongfang really knew Xuanyuan Xuanling's mind the most, and after listening to his analysis, Xuanyuan Xuanling grabbed the fruit on the plate and threw it at Dongfang's face with a sneer.

After a 360-degree rotation in the east, he raised his hand and took the fruit in the air: "Thank you for the reward of Emperor Emperor's brother-in-law." ”

"I see."

The queen also understood, glanced at the emperor meaningfully and said, "The concubine will go to Gufang Garden." ”

In the Lonely Fang Garden, the lively scene of the past few days has resumed.

Ladies and gentlemen, they are coming to class to practice yoga normally.

Seeing the queen walk in, Yulian hurriedly stepped forward: "Queen Mother, you haven't been here for a few days, I miss you." ”

"I've been busy these days, and I'm helping the emperor prepare for the selection of gentlemen from the painting academy."

As soon as she mentioned painting and chose a gentleman for the art academy, Yulian was full of interest: "The art academy wants to choose a gentleman!" That's a lot of work, how many people are running! ”

"This year, the emperor has changed the system, in order to widely select talents, all people with lofty ideals, regardless of men and women, can participate in the selection."

The queen said casually, but Yulian was not calm when she heard it.

It's okay, anyone can participate, including yourself?

Yulian immediately invited the queen to sit down in the house, and asked in a coquettish voice: Niangniang, can I go to participate in the selection of teachers in the art academy? ”

"Originally, it was possible, anyway, the emperor said that anyone can participate, but you are in the ground, it is estimated that it will be more difficult." The queen thought for a moment and replied cautiously.

"Then lift my grounding order! Empress! Yulian's face was pitiful.

"Don't mess around, except for the emperor, whoever dares to explain it can solve it!" The queen rebuked gently.

"Then how can I get the emperor to lift my ban?" Yulian was distressed.

"Or the princess can go and beg the emperor in person! In fact, the emperor's heart is very soft, if you say a good word to him and admit your mistake, maybe it will be fine. ”

"What! Admit your mistakes and give in! It's so hard! ”

Yulian said in her heart: "Xuanyuan Xuanling's heart is soft-hearted, and he laughs to death eight people." ”

"Then I can't help you." The queen was helpless in the same way.

"Empress, have you put together the money from our auction?" Yulian suddenly remembered this.

"Are you about to tell the princess the good news? He raised as much as 15,000 taels of gold. When the queen talked about the fundraising, she unconsciously became excited.

"Queen Mother, give me a copy of the list of money for auction." Yulian said coquettishly.

"This is natural, give you a good reference, and next time we need it, we will do it again."

Yulian pursed her lips and nodded obediently.

Inside the Xuanyuan Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of "Qinglian" will send you a letter to your subordinates. The guards guarding the Lonely Garden returned in front of the temple and presented the letter with both hands.

The chief steward held the letter up and waited for the emperor who was busy.

"So soon, the princess has sent a letter to ask the emperor, open it and take a look." Dongfang on the side is more anxious than the emperor?

Xuanyuan Xuanling finished the matter at hand slowly, slowly put down the pen, picked up the sweat towel, and carefully wiped the back of his hand and palm, and then slowly took the letter in the chief manager's hand.

Xuanyuan Xuanling was not in a hurry and finished all this in an orderly manner, while Dongfang on the side was already in a hurry.

However, when Xuanyuan Xuanling pulled out the letter and opened it, his face became solemn, and then he put the letter on the table.

Dongfang hurriedly picked it up and looked at it, it was not a letter at all, but a consolidated list of gold obtained from the auction a few days earlier.

"Princess, what does that mean?" Dongfang asked with his mouth open.

"Don't you understand? People are not here to intercede at all, they are asking for merit and reward. Xuanyuan Xuanling tapped his fingers on the table and said with a hum.

"Haha, that's so interesting......" Dongfang let out a series of loud laughs.

Witty as the princess of "Qinglian"!

Throw a list to the emperor, which means to see how these splendid gold came from, and don't forget to dig the well! We don't have merit, but we also have hard work! Your Majesty, just watch it......

"Well, it's true, our emperor's brother-in-law is the most wise and martial, and he has always rewarded and punished clearly, if he has a fault, he will be punished, and if he has merit, he will be rewarded, of course the princess should be rewarded."

Dongfang nodded frequently and said loudly, and after speaking, he secretly looked at the emperor's face.

Is Xuanyuan Xuanling angry at the moment? She must have been annoyed, although she had long expected that the little girl would not give in easily.

Could it be that she is stingy to give me a little gentle feeling when she says a good word and gives me a little tenderness?

Xuanyuan Xuanling was sullen, and suddenly grabbed the list in Dongfang's hand, flipped it over and looked at it carefully.

It turns out that at the back of the list, in the very center of the paper, a small oval green leaf is drawn, isn't it exactly the leaf of spearmint?

In the center, spearmint......

Oh! It's even more interesting!

The meaning of the princess's leaves is: I have accepted the orchid fan of the gentleman who forgets worries, and I am deeply grateful for the emperor's gift of the fan in my heart.

This little girl was so secretive, and gave a very scheming, chic and slightly gentle reply.

If she only took the list and wanted to invite credit, Xuanyuan Xuanling might not be able to lift her grounding as she wanted.

However, I drew a spearurina leaf in the center of the list, which means a lot!

She is reminding Xuanyuan Xuanling, I have received your heart, don't pretend to be indifferent and ruthless, let's make peace!

Hard and soft! Tall!

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Xuanling smiled slightly, folded the list, and didn't give Dongfang on the side a look, making Dongfang anxious.

"Dongfang, you are the person who presided over Mr. Zhen this time, and you will tell the princess about the precautions for participating in the primary election." Xuanyuan Xuanling Zhengse said to Dongfang.

"What my brother-in-law means is that the princess can participate in the selection of painters."

Dongfang Yi was happy, but he still didn't forget the matter: "What about the princess's grounding order?" ”

Xuanyuan Xuanling turned his head and ordered the chief manager to immediately pass the decree and lift the princess's grounding order.

As soon as Yulian received the will, she was not too excited, because this was something she expected.

Because she knew in her heart that her soft grinding and hard bubble would definitely move Xuanyuan Xuanling and let him lift his grounding order.

On the contrary, as soon as the stream heard that the lockdown had been lifted, he jumped out and went crazy.

Yulian is now sad that news has just come from the east: "The primaries must each draw a picture, and the proposition is birds and beasts, five animals."

And Yulian's strength is landscapes, flowers, birds and animals, which are really not her strengths.

(In the first few chapters, I forgot to explain that Tang Yulian worked in a famous five-star garden design company in modern times and was a professional senior garden designer.) Alas, what a failure?! )

So, where do you want to paint?

Yulian couldn't sit still, so she wandered around the garden, and every time she walked in the garden she designed, Yulian would have inspiration to shine.

Sure enough, she looked at the vegetable field, thinking about the farming of spring plowing and autumn harvest, and suddenly turned around and rushed back to the house, unfolding the rice paper......

In the side hall, Dongfang selected more than a dozen paintings from Songjiangzi and displayed them to Xuanyuan Xuanling one by one.

"These paintings are in no particular order! Each painting has its strengths and weaknesses, but compared with the other unsuccessful, these 12 paintings are really strong paintings, so these 12 people can officially participate in the selection of Mr. Art Academy. Matsue Zi introduced word by word on the side.

Xuanyuan Xuanling nodded, but was attracted by a painting that Dongfang was displaying.

The painting depicts five cows.

The five cows in the painting are lined up from right to left, with different postures and different colors on their bodies.

The first is an old brown cow, biting something while rubbing and tickling in front of the chestnut, with a leisurely attitude; The second is a black and white mixed flower cow, with a large body, a head and a tail, and a steady walk; The third is a dark old cow, although skinny, white-mouthed, and old-fashioned, but it is longitudinal and roaring; The fourth is a yellow ox, with a tall body and towering horns, looking back; The fifth cow stood with its head up, with a plump body, thoughtful in its concentration, and a stubborn personality in its eyes.

Xuanyuan Xuanling and Dongfang were stunned, these five cows had their own appearances and were vivid.

And the most amazing thing is that except for a small tree on the right side at the end, there is no other background in the whole picture, so each cow can be independent.

Slowly, there was a white shadow behind the little sapling, as if it was curled up and sleeping.

Oh, got it!

Xuanyuan Xuanling and Dongfang glanced at each other and smiled, both of them knew who made this painting.

"What does Mr. Song think, how about this picture of five oxen ? Dongfang deliberately asked Matsue Zidao.

"This five-bull chart can be regarded as the best among the finalists in the primary selection."
