Chapter 30: The Worst
Seeing that Xie Langhua was about to finish painting, she told Chun Tao to pick more jasmine flowers.
After picking a lot of spring peaches, after handing them to Xie Langhua, she watched her smear on the drawing paper with jasmine, and she didn't know what she was doing, she wrinkled her brows and asked, "What is the eldest lady doing?"
Although she doesn't know how to paint, but looking at the paintings made by Xie Langhua, she doesn't know that it is ordinary, and there is nothing brilliant, a few green leaves, a few white flowers, even if the eldest lady says that it is heavenly, she also thinks that there is nothing to look at.
Xie Langhua glanced up at Chun Tao and said with a smile: "Without it, just make a mark for my painting, in case someone paints jasmine flowers like me, it will be easy to distinguish them." β
As she spoke, she picked up the finished painting, put it in the sunlight, and blew lightly.
After the paint was dry, he carefully rolled it up, turned his head to look at Chun Tao and said, "Let's go! β
After walking a few steps, Xie Langhua suddenly said to Chun Tao: "Go back and make me a jasmine sachet." β
Chun Tao nodded, jasmine is just an ordinary flower, that is, it is just a matter of raising your hands.
When Xie Langhua returned to the painting boat, the other nobles had arrived, only she was late, but fortunately, the queen did not come, and she was not rude.
As soon as she sat down, Mo Liangchen poked his head over and said with a smile: "Sister Xie, what kind of flowers did you paint?"
Xie Langhua glanced at Xie Yaohua beside her lightly, only to see that she had reverted to her pitiful and weak appearance, as if others had bullied her, she was disgusted, lowered her eyes, turned her head to Mo Liangchen and smiled: "Painted a few jasmines." β
"The queen has arrived!" At that moment, the queen mother, supported by the maid, got on the painting boat.
"See the Queen's Mother. Everyone present stood up and saluted.
"Excuse me!" said the queen, who sat down in a gentle voice and with graceful movements.
"Thank you, Queen Mother. All the ladies turned and returned to their seats.
There is a long table in the center of the boat, and at first glance you can tell that it is used for painting.
The queen swept all the nobles present one by one, and chuckled: "The painting is ready, take it out and let the palace take a look, the top three are rewarded." β
"Yes. Everyone said in unison.
The maidservant on the side lays the painting on the long table in the center of the boat.
Appreciating the paintings, naturally there is no need for the queen to come on the stage herself, the painter in the palace immediately stepped forward, his eyes were focused, he looked carefully, and all the paintings were rearranged according to the merits and disadvantages.
Naturally it is best to put it in front.
Because there are seals on the paintings, you can tell who painted them at a glance.
Sure enough, the jasmine painted by Xie Langhua was ranked last.
Seeing this, Chun Tao looked depressed, and even had the heart to cry.
But Xie Langhua looked indifferent, which made Dechun Tao more and more sad.
"The Queen, please. After the order was set, the painter in the palace didn't say anything, only asked the queen to look at it.
He also knew that today was to choose a concubine for the crown prince, so he did not set the top three, so that the queen could make a slight adjustment according to her own wishes.
The queen nodded slightly, and with the help of her servant, she walked slowly towards the table full of paintings.
Everyone present stood up.
Xie Yaohua knew that Xie Langhua was painting Jasmine, and when she saw that her painting was unexpectedly placed at the end, a sarcastic smile flashed in her eyes.
Xiao He's eyes were also full of ridicule.
Under everyone's gaze, the queen mother looked at all the paintings one by one, and did not make any adjustments, she was very satisfied, looked at all the nobles present, and said with a smile: "The palace announced the top three, namely Tang Wan, Song Siwei, and Xiao He. β
This result is exactly what she is looking forward to.
As soon as her voice fell, Tang Wan, Song Siwei, and Xiao He stood up and said in unison: "Thank you for the queen's praise." β
The three of them have flower-like faces, noble births, and decent behavior, the more the queen looks at it, the more she likes it, she said at the moment: "Give Tang Wanyu a handle, give Song Siwei and Xiao He a pair of jade bracelets." β
Xie Langhua was not surprised by this long-known answer, she lowered her eyes and smiled, sure enough, everything was no different from the previous life.
So much better!
Then tomorrow's things won't change!
She was confident that Helian You would not let her down.
"Thank you, Queen. The three of them were very satisfied with this result, and said in unison, with a smile on their faces.
"Good, good, good......" The queen looked at the three of them and said hello a few times.
It's not early.
The queen sat for a moment and then left.
A flower-viewing feast ended perfectly.
When leaving, some people were happy and some were sad.
Those who want to climb the high branches are naturally worried, and those who wish are naturally full of joy.
For example, Xiao He's performance was the most obvious, as if she was already the most noble woman in the world, with a high-toe look, she glared at Xie Langhua several times with sarcasm, and she almost stepped forward to humiliate her regardless of her identity.
Xie Langhua just didn't see it, he didn't look at Xiao He, and smiled coldly in his heart, today's Gao Zhi didn't know that it was not tomorrow's purgatory.
The more joy you laugh today, the more painful it will be tomorrow.
Mo Liangchen raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao He, turned his head to look at Xie Langhua and said in a low voice: "It's really a villain's face, it's boring to look at." β
Xie Langhua glanced at Mo Liangchen and said slowly: "The one who has the last laugh is the winner." β
Xie Yaohua followed behind Xie Langhua, hanging her head low, her face was ugly, and she was probably the saddest of all the nobles.
It doesn't matter if she didn't climb the high branches, her reputation was ruined, and she ended up being rejected by others, so even Xiao Mo drew a clear relationship with her in public, and the road ahead was bleak.
She didn't know how to speak to her mother when she got back.
"Sister Xie, your carriage is ruined, go back with me!" When Xie Langhua walked to the gate of the palace, Cui Jin stepped forward in a few steps, looked at her and said with a smile.
Before she could speak, Mo Liangchen on the side opened his mouth and said, "If you don't dislike it, you can also ride in the same carriage with me, and I will send you back." β
Xie Langhua looked at Cui Jin and Mo Liangchen, and was about to speak.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Mo strode over, he looked at Xie Langhua gently and said, "Langhua is my fiancΓ©e, and it is naturally my responsibility to send her home." β
Xie Yaohua stood beside Xie Langhua, but he didn't even look at Xie Yaohua.
Xie Yaohua looked at Xiao Mo intently, she smiled sadly, raised her feet and got into the carriage, and didn't look at Xiao Mo and Xie Langhua again.
Xiao Mo had already spoken, Cui Jin and Mo Liangchen looked at Xie Langhua and smiled: "Then let's leave first." β
"Be careful on the road. Xie Langhua waved at them slightly.
Cui Jin had already gotten into the carriage.
Mo Liangchen turned his head to Xie Langhua and said, "Xie Langhua, you must come to our house as a guest in a few days, and when I make a post, you can't help but come." β
Freemasonry is always easy to open up.
"Good. Xie Langhua saw Mo Liangchen so gracious, and nodded lightly.
Mo Liangchen got into the carriage at this time.
There was no one left at the gate of the palace, Xiao Mo strode forward, looked at Xie Langhua intently, and said softly: "Langhua, let me send you home!"
Cui Jin and Mo Liangchen both left, Xie Langhua had no other choice, even though she was unwilling to ride in the same carriage with Xiao Mo, but she had to go home quickly, with Xie Yaohua's temperament, she would definitely go to the old lady to sue her.
She couldn't let her talk nonsense.
Xie Yaohua's task is only to provoke trouble, and the rest will be left to her.
Under Xiao Mo's gaze, Xie Langhua nodded lightly.
Xiao Mo behaved very gentlemanly today, and even took the initiative to lift the curtain for Xie Langhua, if it weren't for Xie Langhua's intention to avoid his hand, he still wanted to help her into the carriage.
Chun Tao sat next to the coachman, and there were only Xiao Mo and Xie Langhua in the carriage.
Both of them were silent, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
For Xiao Mo, Xie Langhua didn't even bother to be perfunctory.
"Langhua, please believe me, I have only you in my heart from beginning to end. Suddenly, Xiao Mo raised his head and looked at Xie Langhua with affectionate eyes, breaking the silence.
Xie Langhua looked at him like this, his stomach churned, and he almost spit on his face.
She didn't say a word, slowly lowered her head, as if she was still angry, and didn't look at Xiao Mo again.
What he cares about has always been the identity of the concubine of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and he will be kind enough to wait for her here, but he is afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said something, her father has a heavy army, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince naturally bothered to win her over. has the relationship between her and Xiao Mo, that is, her father doesn't say *, and in the eyes of others, it is no different from *.
Xiao Mo suddenly stretched out his hand, regardless of Xie Langhua's objection, grabbed Xie Langhua's hand, held it tightly in his hand, looked at Xie Langhua affectionately and said word by word: "Langhua, you misunderstood me, I really have nothing with A-Yao, I treat her well just because she is your sister and loves the house and Wu." β
Xie Langhua looked up at Xiao Mo: "Really?"
"Hmm. Xiao Mo nodded heavily, a smile flashed in his eyes, a lot of pride, Xie Langhua was obsessed with him, as long as he was willing, he could play with her in applause by saying a few words at will.
Xu was afraid that Xie Langhua would not believe it, so Xiao Mo continued: "I'll tell my mother when I go back, let her set our wedding date as soon as possible and marry you." β
He held Xie Langhua's face with both hands.
In his gaze, Xie Langhua smiled, very gorgeous, she pretended to lean her head on Xiao Mo's chest, and muttered: "Whatever my cousin says, Langhua will believe it!"
Hearing this, Xiao Mo's face was even more smiling.
Xie Langhua's eyes rolled, and he said with a flustered face: "A-Yao will definitely go to my grandmother to complain when I go back today, if my grandmother knows what I said in the palace, she will definitely punish me, how can this be good?"
"Don't worry about this, I'll go back with you and explain it to my grandmother. Xiao Mo said casually.
Xie Langhua's eyes lit up, and he said softly: "I know that my cousin is the best for me." β
That's what she was waiting for.
Today, she is going to shatter all the dreams in Xie Yaohua's heart.
"See His Royal Highness King Rui!" As soon as the queen left, there were only a few maids left in the painting boat who were cleaning up the paintings on the table, Sima Rui slowly stepped onto the painting boat, and the maids on the painting boat were startled and hurriedly curtched.
The maid had only received a few paintings, and most of them were still on the crime.
Sima Rui glanced at it, raised his hand and said, "You guys go down first!"
"Yes. All the maids turned and left.
There were only two guards left on the painting boat, Sima Rui glanced at the paintings on the crime roughly, and lost interest in not looking, even though these paintings are very beautiful, but they are just some women in the boudoir, their vision, has determined their pattern, it is really boring.
He stood on the painting boat with his long body, his sleeves flying, his eyes fell on the clouds in the sky, and he didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes were long.
Suddenly, one of the guards beside him pointed to the last painting and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, look. β
Sima Rui slowly turned his head and looked at the guard, with some condemnation in his eyes, they had been following him for several years, they had always been calm, how could they lose their proportions, what was worth making such a fuss.
Even so, he followed his line of sight.
I saw a white piece of paper, a few brushstrokes, painted a few jasmine flowers, the painter is not brilliant, the general is very, but on this painting there are more than a dozen colorful butterflies dancing.
