Nangong Chen, who received a lot of praise, was quite proud, but he was still modest and expressed his filial piety.

When he was about to retreat, Luo Qingshuang didn't return to his seat, suddenly turned his head to look at Luo Qingluan, and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of congratulatory gift my sister prepared for Your Majesty, it's all at this time, don't hide it." Her voice was not loud or small, just enough for the people around her to hear, and as soon as she said a word, she immediately attracted the attention of the people around her, and even Emperor Xichu heard it.

Queen Wang herself has a good impression of Luo Qingluan, and even her pregnancy is favored by her, as soon as she heard Luo Qingshuang say this, she also became interested in Luo Qingluan, and said with a smile: "Yes, this palace remembers that Qingluan's talent is not inferior to any daughter!" Last time during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, you heard the song of the palace, and it is still unforgettable. ”

I didn't think about going to the palace to perform at all, Luo Qingluan even planned to leave after a while, but he was instigated by Luo Qingshuang, but it attracted attention. She couldn't hide from it now, she glanced at Luo Qingshuang in front of her, got up and saluted and said, "If Your Majesty and Niangniang want to listen to the tune, Qingluan should play a tune." ”

As soon as the words fell, there were whispers all around, and Yu Chi Lianqing's face changed.

"What, the two sisters of the Luo family did it on purpose, right? Obviously, the county lord of Yilan played the piano just now, but now she wants to come again, and it is clear that she wants to steal the limelight from the county lord of Yilan. ”

"She is married to the King of Chu, why is she still thinking about His Royal Highness the Prince? What a shame! ”

"These two sisters, one is married to the fifth prince and the other is married to the king of Chu, they are really scheming, and they have joined forces to be in the limelight, how can we compare?"

"Who doesn't know that one sings and one harmonizes!"

was a casual response, Luo Qingluan didn't think about it so much, but she didn't expect that a sentence would cause dissatisfaction among others, thinking that she was trying to steal the limelight with Yu Chi Lianqing. In fact, there were also some daughters who performed playing the piano before, and everyone did not react like this, it can only be said that the jealousy of the women for her has reached its peak, and they can't wait for something to do something, so as to exclude and suppress her.

With a turn of his eyes, Luo Qingluan really saw Yu Chi Lianqing's face was gloomy, looking at her with silver teeth clenched, and when he saw her coming, he immediately turned to the side, disdainful but disgusted, full of height.

"Sister, since you said it, hurry up and play it, Your Majesty and Niangniang are still waiting."

Immediately, Luo Qingshuang's lowered voice sounded beside him, revealing strong schadenfreude, "But if my sister plays well, she will offend the lord of Yilan, and if she plays badly, Your Majesty and the queen will be unhappy, but it's really embarrassing." But my sister is so smart, she must know how to make trade-offs, right? ”

I see!

This Luo Qingshuang, even if she gets married, she doesn't forget to pit her, Luo Qingluan sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face at all.

Originally, she didn't plan to show off at the birthday banquet of Emperor Xichu, and even the congratulatory gift that Nalan Ye gave to Emperor Xichu before deliberately chose a very ordinary, and even some of them couldn't be handled. It was to avoid arousing the jealousy of Emperor Xichu and the jealousy of the ministers, saying that Nalan Ye had no heart for the ministers, but he didn't expect to be forced to retreat by Luo Qingshuang's words now, and he didn't play it, and he didn't play it.

"My sister is really calculating." replied to Luo Qingshuang in a low voice, and Luo Qingluan sneered: "I wrote down today's events, and I'll tell my sister later." ”

didn't hear what Luo Qingluan and Luo Qingshuang were talking about, and when Queen Wang heard her agree, she laughed: "Okay, I don't know what song Qingluan is going to play today, but this palace can't wait." ”

The surrounding chatter disappeared, but Luo Qingluan felt that those ill-intentioned eyes were even hotter, especially Yu Chi Lianqing and the third princess Nangong Wan'er sitting next to her, the two of them had a disgusted look, looked at her and turned their heads away, whispered something, and didn't have the heart to listen to her play the piano at all.

It seems that if she really plays this piano, she is afraid that she will offend all the noble daughters. But Queen Wang opened her mouth again, Emperor Xichu was also waiting, and there were envoys from other two countries in the palace, Luo Qingluan suddenly felt that he was being driven to the shelf.

Okay, since you want her to perform, then she should be in the limelight. She doesn't just know how to play the piano!

Shi Shiran walked to the hall, and Luo Qingluan said to Emperor Xichu and Queen Wang: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, originally Qingluan just wanted to play a song to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, but suddenly I thought that many daughters have already played it today, and I will play it again, but I am afraid that there will be a lack of novelty." It's better to change the show, I don't know if the mother agrees? ”

Slightly stunned, Queen Wang reacted and said with a smile: "Since you don't play the piano, what does Qingluan want to perform?" ”

Standing on the main hall and accepting the surprised eyes of countless people, Luo Qingluan said: "I see that Your Majesty and Niangniang just now liked the painting given by the Fifth Prince, otherwise, ...... Qingluan also painted a picture, painted on the spot, I don't know what the mother wants? ”

At this time, even the Emperor of Western Chu was interested, and his eyes lit up: "Oh, Princess Chu can even paint?" He looked at Nalan Ye and said, "Ziqing, do you know that your wife can paint?" Could it be that you taught it? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not true." Nalan Ye said lightly.

"Hehe, even you don't know? That's even more important. Emperor Xi Chu laughed, and immediately asked people to put the four treasures of the study room on the palace, and said, "Princess Chu, since you want to perform and paint on the spot, let's start." If the painting is good, I will be rewarded, and if the painting is bad......"

Hearing this, Luo Qingshuang couldn't help but get nervous, and was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't know that Emperor Xichu changed his words and said with a smile: "Then Ziqing, you will perform another show, I remember that your Xiao is blowing well, I haven't heard it for a long time." ”

With a hatred in his heart, Luo Qingshuang realized that he was afraid that his calculation had failed this time. Unexpectedly, Emperor Xichu actually loved Wu and Wu, and tolerated Luo Qingluan to this point. Glancing at the handsome and handsome Nalan Night, Luo Qingshuang became more and more jealous. Although Nangong Chen, as the fifth prince, is also her beloved man, but in terms of power, no matter what, he can't compare to Nalan Ye, a prince with a foreign surname, which really makes her unwilling.

But right now, she has nothing to do, she just hopes that Luo Qingluan's painting is not good, and she will be very ugly.

Does she know that Luo Qingluan can't draw since she was a child, can she be able to draw well after following Nalan Ye for a while?

Dozens of pairs of eyes in the main hall fell on Luo Qingluan, everyone was interested, and even the daughters and nobles were a little less jealous and a little more curious. Is this second lady of the Luo family not only good at playing the piano, but also painting?

Not caring about the eyes of the people around him, Luo Qingluan smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen paints today, without pen and ink, just need Your Majesty to ask someone to find some thin carbon strips." ”

"Oh, can carbon bars still paint? It's new. Emperor and Empress Wang of Western Chu became more and more interested, and soon people took a lot of slender carbon strips, which were fired with the best gold wire charcoal, and quickly placed them in front of Luo Qingluan.

Unhurried, and regardless of the stunned gazes of the people around him, Luo Qingluan chose a medium thickness, but did not start writing immediately, but glanced at Emperor and Queen Wang of Western Chu, and then began to do so. After a few strokes, she looked up at the emperor and queen for a moment before continuing to paint, and soon, a few simple black lines were outlined on the paper, and a rough outline jumped out of the paper.

Someone reacted at this time, feeling that this princess of Chu is so bold, not only did she use carbon bars in a novelty, but she even painted according to Emperor and Queen Wang of Western Chu on the spot!

It's not that there are no court painters who have painted for the emperor and queen, but everyone doesn't think that Luo Qingluan can have the skills of a court painter. Moreover, there are also several painting scrolls stored in the study of Emperor Xichu, all of which are portraits made by painters for Emperor Xichu in the past, but they have always been collected in boxes and have not been hung out. Now that this princess of Chu is so big-hearted, she is trying in vain to catch up with these court painters, and she wants to please the emperor and queen with this?

It's really overwhelming!

However, the emperor did not stop it, and the ministers did not make a sound, only the good deeds secretly sneered in their hearts, if Luo Qingluan painted the emperor and queen badly, even if it was not like it at all, I was afraid that it would be a crime of one more degree, and the gift would be condemned.

Time passed little by little, Luo Qingluan had no distractions, the pen and ink on the paper became thicker little by little, and gradually completed the two vivid portraits. The people around couldn't see clearly, they only watched coldly, secretly looking forward to it, and some of them had thought about how to pick thorns, Luo Qingshuang made up her mind, if Luo Qingluan's painting was a little bad, she would definitely take the opportunity to make it look good.

Almost half an hour later, Luo Qingluan finally stopped.

Putting down the pen, she took a step back and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, Weichen has finished drawing." ”

"Bring it in." Emperor Xichu hurriedly said.

Immediately, the eunuch walked down the hall quickly, walked to Luo Qingluan's side, carefully spread the scroll in his hand, and sent it to Emperor Xichu. Everyone just waited for Emperor Xichu's displeased gaze, but they didn't expect to see his eyes suddenly brighten, and they almost couldn't believe what they saw.

"This ...... This is ......" Emperor Xichu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was stunned and looked at the painting in front of him, stunned and didn't know what to say.

Queen Wang just glanced at it, and her phoenix eyes were round, and then she became happy, looking at it with surprise and joy, and nodded again and again for a long time: "Okay, it's really good!" Hongu had never seen such a painting before, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it was a painting. ”

"Too similar, too similar!" Emperor Xichu muttered to himself, and even his hands trembled a little.

The ministers were confused by the performance of the emperor and queen, what the hell is going on? What did Princess Chu draw, and why did Emperor and Empress Wang of Western Chu be so shocked, but they were inexplicably happy?

After a long time, Emperor Xichu finally came back to his senses: "It's really good, I have never seen such a painting, it's really wonderful!" The people may wish to take a look, who can recognize what kind of technique this is, and it can be painted so vividly. ”

The eunuch holding the painting immediately unfolded the scroll, each holding a section, and stood in front of the palace to show it to the ministers.

Suddenly, everyone took a look, and a gasping sound sounded, and everyone stared directly at the scroll, only to see these two people painted on the paper, the living Emperor of Western Chu and Queen Wang. The emperor and queen are sitting in the main hall, with a dignified demeanor and noble temperament, if it is not drawn with a black carbon pen, I am afraid that some people will think that they are dazzled, and the emperor and queen ran into the picture scroll.

So realistic!

This is the first thought of all.
