Chapter 147: Chess Pieces

Looking at the picture scroll in their hands, Emperor Xichu and Queen Wang did not say anything for a long time, but their eyes were straightforward, and they forgot everything by being attracted. It took a long time for Queen Wang to come back to her senses and sigh in surprise: "If you don't see it with your own eyes, you really can't believe that this is a painting!" ”

Emperor Xichu, who also felt this way, couldn't hold back his excitement and curiosity, and asked out loud: "What kind of painting is this?" I've never seen such a realistic painting, it's really rare. ”

Luo Qingluan smiled: "Back to Your Majesty, this is called 'sketching'." ”

There was no too much explanation, because she understood that the Western Chu Kingdom and even the other three kingdoms did not have this kind of painting method at all, it should be that this time and space did not appear, and it would not make sense to explain it. It was enough for her to be able to draw it and surprise everyone, even if it was to let Emperor Xichu get a rare but not expensive gift, so that she also had a powerful slap in the face to Luo Qingshuang's design.

As for what exactly a sketch is and how to draw it, there is no need for her to explain. Everyone is powerful, and they are not those painters, and they are not new to this kind of thing, and they are not really interested.

"Sketch?" Sure enough, Emperor Xichu chewed these two words, looked at the painting again, and seemed to understand a little. Queen Wang smiled even more, nodded to him and said, "Your Majesty, this sketch is really appropriate. You see, although this painting is vivid, it is painted with black charcoal, not as colorful as other painters, isn't it 'plain'? ”

"Hahaha!" Emperor Xichu laughed: "Good, good, it's really a sketch, not bad!" ”

"Since Your Majesty likes it, then I am happy." Luo Qingluan nodded, glanced at Luo Qingshuang, whose face was pale, and retreated without saying much.

When they saw the scene of Luo Qingluan's great demeanor, most people were surprised, and then admired, nodding their heads again and again with a look of surprise and surprise, even Yu Chi Lianqing bit her lip, although she thought that she would not be much worse than Luo Qingluan in playing the piano, but she had to admit that she really drew well.

Only two people are different.

Bai Yixuan glanced at Lin Xiaochen, and both of them saw the subtle and complicated look in each other's eyes. From the beginning, she didn't think of Luo Qingluan's identity at all, even if she knew about it later, she didn't expect her to be so versatile. Bai Yixuan, who has always claimed to be the first beauty in the Southern Wei Kingdom and the first talented woman, is willing to admit defeat? The more excellent and talented Luo Qingluan is, the more jealous she becomes.

The slender jade-like fingers were closed one by one, and the nails had sunk deep into the flesh. If it weren't for Luo Qingluan, she would have killed Lin Yixuan a long time ago!

But now, Lin Yixuan is not only alive and well, but also looks at Luo Qingluan differently. How can Bai Yixuan not see through this kind of eyes? She had been looking forward to it for so many years, hoping that he would look at her with this kind of eyes, but in the end it was an extravagant hope, a vain!

How could she let a man she loved but couldn't get fall in love with another woman? She will definitely not let Luo Qingluan go!

With her eyes down, Bai Yixuan no longer looked at Luo Qingluan, nor did she pay attention to the performances of the rest of the people in the hall. But that hatred permeated the whole body and invaded the bone marrow.

Compared with Bai Yixuan's vague hatred, Xiao Ningyu was even more obvious, obvious to the point that Xiao Yuqi had a headache.

"This isn't at home, sister, can you be more restrained?" Xiao Yuqi lowered his voice, for fear that Xiao Ningyu would be like the fifth prince's concubine just now, and directly provoke Luo Qingluan in the main hall. It's not that he's worried about his sister being bullied, he really doesn't want to be embarrassed because of this. Although he has only seen Luo Qingluan a few times, he is quite clear about her methods and abilities, as well as her identity, and he doesn't think that his sister is Luo Qingluan's opponent.

What's more, there is an even more terrifying man standing behind Luo Qingluan - Nalan Ye!

Xiao Yuqi didn't want to be an enemy of this man who almost wiped out the North Yue Kingdom, so if he could befriend Nalan Ye, he didn't want to have a moment of fighting with him on the battlefield. Otherwise, no matter how strong the Dongwan Kingdom is, if it really faces the Western Chu army led by Nalan Ye, I am afraid that it will also be defeated.

"Convergence? Hmph, this woman is so proud, don't you just draw a broken picture, it seems to be amazing. ”

Seeing that the birthday banquet had come to an end, Emperor Xichu and the empress had already left ahead of schedule surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs. There were only some officials and female dependents of Western Chu left in the main hall, and as for the envoys of other countries, Xiao Ningyu didn't pay attention to them at all.

Thinking of Luo Qingluan's appearance in the limelight just now, and being envied and admired by so much, she felt uncomfortable. She paid attention clearly, Nalan Ye kept looking at Luo Qingluan, her eyes didn't turn a moment, her eyes were full of warmth and softness, which she had never seen before.

This man who is as cold and brave as the god of war, who is always rumored to be disdainful of women and has never had a good face, will one day be so gentle and loving to a woman like Luo Qingluan? No, never! This is the man she has a crush on, how can she make him like another woman? She has been thinking about him for five years, and she is looking forward to seeing him again and marrying him one day, but she never expected that he would get married and like this woman so much!

The jealousy in her chest was blazing, and Xiao Ningyu stared at Luo Qingluan, eager to scratch her equally beautiful face.

The more she looked, the more jealous she became, not only jealous of Luo Qingluan's appearance, but also jealous of her talent, and even more jealous that she had won Nalan Ye's heart, Xiao Ningyu finally couldn't help it, seeing that she and Nalan Ye were about to leave, she shouted loudly: "Luo Qingluan, you stop me!" ”

This abrupt sound, sharp and high-pitched, caused the people who were still in the main hall to be stunned for a moment. When I turned my head to look, I found that it was Xiao Ningyu, the Duanrou princess of Dongwan Kingdom, her face was flushed with anger, she was gritting her teeth, and she was pointing at Luo Qingluan with her finger, not knowing what was going on.

Luo Qingluan naturally knew who it was, and glanced at Xiao Ningyu lightly, and saw Xiao Yuqi's very embarrassed face, and pulled her. didn't care, and didn't want to talk to Xiao Ningyu much, she turned around and left.

With so much going on today, she was a little tired, and she wanted to go back and rest early.

"Princess Ben told you to stop, did you hear me!" Seeing that Luo Qingluan actually ignored herself, Xiao Ningyu was even more angry, she directly shook off Xiao Yuqi's hand, strode over angrily, and glanced up and down at her: "Luo Qingluan, you are too rude, this princess is an envoy of Dongwan Kingdom, and you Xichu is so hospitable?" I can't even talk to you? Are you so arrogant? ”

was scolded for splitting his head and covering his face, where could Luo Qingluan not hear that the other party was deliberately looking for fault?

I have long known that Xiao Ningyu likes Nalan Night, and last time I used the excuse to swim in the lake with him, I was rectified by myself, so I hated myself for a long time. It's just that she didn't expect Xiao Ningyu to choose an occasion like today, as the princess of Dongwan Kingdom, she didn't even understand this in general?

I don't like Xiao Ningyu anymore, but in the face of so many people, Luo Qingluan will not be as knowledgeable as her, and she doesn't want to be seen as a joke. Looking at Xiao Ningyu lightly, a smile appeared on her lips, and she said loudly: "I don't know what Princess Duanrou has to do?" ”

"You don't have it, it's just ......" Xiao Ningyu sneered and looked Luo Qingluan up and down, becoming more and more angry at the other party's cold and disdainful attitude, "What kind of painting did you paint just now, it's black, do you really think you painted it well?" ”

"Yu'er, don't talk nonsense......" Xiao Yuqi's face changed and he pulled her.

"Brother, why are you stopping me, she just can't draw well, what can't you say?" Xiao Ningyu shook off Xiao Yuqi's hand again, and looked at Luo Qingluan with disdain: "Luo Qingluan, don't be complacent!" Just now, everyone said that you are good at drawing, but it's just because of your identity. If you hadn't married His Royal Highness the King of Chu and stained her light, do you really think that others would say hello to you? ”

"What other people say is someone else's business, it's none of my business. I painted to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, just as a gesture. Luo Qingluan's eyes flickered, and her lips opened lightly: "If Princess Duanrou thinks it's not good, it's a bit of a problem, after all, I didn't give it to you, right?" ”

"You ......"

was blocked by Luo Qingluan and didn't know how to answer, Xiao Ningyu was suddenly speechless.

Seeing that the more he talked, the more stiff he became, even Nalan Ye had a cold face, Xiao Yuqi didn't want to be troubled by his sister, and finally pulled her away with a straight face: "Yu'er, you are becoming more and more presumptuous." This is the Western Chu Palace, as the princess of Dongwan and the identity of an envoy, it is simply unruly to speak to the princess of Chu like this! ”

Xiao Ningyu's face turned pale, and she still said with a strong mouth: "Brother, her painting is not good, is it not allowed for me to tell the truth?" ”

"Shut up! Princess Chu's paintings are even greatly appreciated by Her Majesty and the Empress of Western Chu, so you can evaluate them? ”

Xiao Yuqi scolded her fiercely, and his tone was gloomy: "If you don't have rules again, don't blame me for letting you send you back to China immediately!" When the time comes, your father will punish you, don't blame your brother for being murderous! ”

"Brother, you don't like Yu'er anymore, you actually help this woman? I hate you! "I didn't expect my brother, who has always doted on him, to help outsiders speak, where can Xiao Ningyu put down? The delicate little face had turned from red to white, trembling with anger, and tears were swirling in the eyes, and they were about to fall. If you don't know the reason, just look at her pear blossom with rain, which is really distressing.

didn't want to say more, Luo Qingluan nodded at Xiao Yuqi: "Thank you Prince Xiao for being reasonable, if it's okay, then I'll leave." ”

Xiao Yuqi softened his face and smiled reluctantly: "Thank you Princess Chu for not being blamed." He clenched his fists at Nalan Ye and arched his hand: "King Chu, I'm sorry for the facts just now, I will educate my sister well when I go back, and there will definitely be no next time." ”

Nodding, Nalan Ye didn't say much, and left with Luo Qingluan.

After a while, Xiao Ningyu was taken away by Xiao Yuqi, and Bai Yixuan, who had witnessed all this from beginning to end, did not say a word, until she also left the palace, and her face became a little cold. Glancing at Lin Xiaochen beside her, there was endless coldness in her eyes, looking directly at the maid who was leading the way, the little candle flame swayed slightly as she walked, and the surrounding environment was even darker.

"What's the matter, what do you want to think again?" Xiao Yuqi suddenly spoke.

"It seems that we really have one more pawn." Bai Yixuan said.

"You mean ......"

The corners of her lips hooked, and Bai Yixuan remembered the look in Lin Yixuan's eyes when she looked at Luo Qingluan in the hall today. A wave of hatred surged in her heart, strong and irrepressible, she said word by word: "It won't be long before it will be the Four Nations Congress, when the time comes, we will make good use of Princess Duanrou, and we will definitely clean up Luo Qingluan." ”

If you want to blame, blame why she is so good, even Lin Yixuan is moved by her.

That kind of look, she will never be mistaken.

Luo Qingluan, she is killed!
