Cheng Dongdong obeyed and asked the person who took the gift box to open the box. Then, I saw that the box contained two scrolls, and when I spread them out, I realized that they were two paintings.

However, these two paintings look exactly the same, depicting clouds and misty mountains, which is very beautiful, yes, but ...... Why send two? Is she and Ning Hu one by one?

King Xian stared at Cheng Dongdong's face, took two steps forward, and asked, "I wonder what the crown princess thinks of these two paintings?" This king has been picking for a long time. ”

"Huh?" Cheng Dongdong looked back at King Xian, and when he saw him looking at him like this, he felt a little uncomfortable, and subconsciously took two steps back, "These two paintings ......"

"This palace doesn't know what King Xian means."

Cheng Dongdong's words were not finished, but he was suddenly interrupted by Ning Hu, listening to his words, Cheng Dongdong immediately shut up. Doesn't this mean that there is something wrong with these two paintings, but fortunately she didn't say it.

Ning Hu took a few steps forward, stood in front of Cheng Dongdong, and looked at King Xian.

King Xian was stunned: "Your Highness, what does this mean?" ”

"This is obviously the palace asking you again, brother Huang." Ning Hu glanced at a maid holding the painting, and the other party immediately understood, and came closer with the painting.

"This painting, the artistic conception is far-reaching, it can not only paint the ethereal feeling of the mountains, but also reflect the majesty of the mountains, the momentum is endless, it can be called the best, if the palace is not mistaken, this should be from the hands of the third brother."

King Xian smiled: "Your Highness has good eyesight." ”

Cheng Dongdong listened on the sidelines, only feeling that it was in the clouds, and only then did he realize that if he only said the word "good" just now, it would be far from enough.

As for the "third brother" in Ning Hu's mouth, it is the third prince of Xiao State, who is seventeen years old, and is from the current queen. I heard that he was indifferent to fame and fortune at a young age, and when he was twelve or thirteen years old, he stayed on the mountain with Mr. Nanheng, who had taught the emperor, to practice his mind, ignoring mundane things, and was one of the objects of admiration of the literati of Xiao State.

"As for this ......" Ning Hu smiled faintly and looked at another painting, "Although it looks exactly the same as the third brother's painting, it is actually in vain, and it is not intended, and even because of deliberate imitation, it is a little more clumsy...... This palace really doesn't understand why the imperial brother wants to send such a painting. ”

When King Xian heard this, he pretended to be surprised, and said, "Fake? ”

Cheng Dongdong behind Ning Hu was also taken aback, but the next moment she was touched by watching the chess game, and she suddenly came back to her senses and restrained her expression. It's just that when Cheng Dongdong was surprised, the corner of her eye inadvertently caught a glimpse of someone looking at her, but when she turned her head to look, she only saw King Xian's entourage hanging their heads......

If you don't make a small move on Dongdong's side, no one pays attention to it.

Ning Hu in front of him couldn't help but laugh when he saw King Xian like this, and he didn't know whether to laugh or be laughed at angrily: "Brother Huang shouldn't want to say that you don't know, right?" ”

King Xian didn't seem to see the inexplicable smile on Ning Hu's face, and replied confidently: "Of course this king doesn't know!" If I knew, I wouldn't have given it to you. Speaking of which, this king doesn't understand these either, and I hope His Royal Highness won't blame him. ”

"Brother Huang doesn't know, so the people around you are also rice buckets?"

Listening to Ning Hu's meaningful words, King Xian raised his eyebrows, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, but he finally endured it: "No wonder they, where can they handle the gifts personally selected by this king?" ”

"That's because the palace misunderstood the imperial brother."

"Hey, it's not right to say that this king, this time I go back to the house, I will definitely punish the person who sent the painting! However, the painting of the third brother is rare, the princess should accept it first, and in a few days, the king will make up the apology. ”

This time, Cheng Dongdong didn't speak first, but glanced at Ning Hu first.

Ning Hu smiled: "Brother Huang has said this, then you should accept it." ”

"Yes."

Cheng Dongdong responded, and asked people to put away the authentic painting.

"This king just wanted to come to visit the two, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen, and he didn't have the face to stay here anymore, so this king still went back and didn't disturb His Royal Highness the Prince."

Seeing Cheng Dongdong accept the scroll, King Xian didn't seem to want to stay here anymore, and there was no greeting, so after letting people take back the fake painting, he directly proposed to leave.

If he wants to leave, Ning Hu will naturally not keep him, and as for Cheng Dongdong, let alone that.

After sending King Xian away, Ning Hu looked at the other party's distant figure, and suddenly instructed Cheng Dongdong: "You don't have to take what King Xian just said, you don't have to take it to heart, if you think he is not easy to get along with, just stay away from him." ”

Cheng Dongdong's heart warmed, and he nodded with a smile.

"Okay, it's okay, let's go back."

Nodding again, Cheng Dongdong didn't say anything, and led the chess back to Linghua Palace. In fact, she also wanted to say something to express her feelings, but unfortunately, she couldn't say a word.

Ning Hu didn't pay attention to Cheng Dongdong's touch, this matter seemed to him to be done casually. What he was thinking about at the moment was the abnormality of the king.

When Ning Hu returned to the study, Qingyan was already waiting here, and when he came back, Qingyan spoke: "Your Highness, King Xian seems to have come for the crown princess this time. ”

Ning Hu nodded, indicating that he had already seen it, and sat down at the desk, picked up the book he had just read, and wanted to continue reading.

Seeing this, Qingyan had some doubts on his face: "Your Highness, don't you care?" ”

"Ning Ye's painting, although it is excellent, Dongdong doesn't have much interest in it." Ning Hu flipped a page of the book, and then continued, "Why don't you borrow flowers and offer Buddha and give it to my father-in-law...... All you have to do is find out what I told you yesterday. ”

Ning Ye is the real name of the third prince.

Qingyan suddenly understood, and after answering the "yes", he retreated......

Speaking of the Linghua Palace, not long after Cheng Dongdong returned to the palace with the mountain painting, Guanqi told her that Fang Xiang had always spoken highly of the paintings of the three princes, and if Cheng Dongdong gave him the painting, he would be very happy in the other direction.

Cheng Dongdong was a little unimpressed, Fang Xiang was happy, but she was not happy. But she didn't refuse either.

Because in her opinion, any painting is an excuse, and it is clear that she wants to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report her current situation, where can she agree or disagree?

She just felt a little sad, she actually had a good impression of watching chess, the other party's reports were sneaky on weekdays, she didn't notice it, she didn't know, but now she didn't expect that after "conniving" with the other party these days, the other party was "blatant".

The more Cheng Dongdong thought about it, the more angry he became, and even his attitude towards watching chess was a lot colder. Watching chess seemed to be expected, and it was not affected by anything, but he felt that Cheng Dongdong was like a child, which made people laugh a little.
