Chapter 686: Confusing Truth with Falsehood

"What? Bad snacks? Could it be that Feng Danhua gave you a bad snack? Lin Yu said dissatisfied.

Zhou Yuheng hurriedly said: "Mother, Danhua is also for my good." She didn't know the treats were bad. ”

"It turned out that Feng Danhua really did it." Lin Yu was very angry, "Yu Heng doesn't think Feng Danhua has something to hide from you?" ”

"No, where did my mother go, Danhua has always been the same to me." Zhou Yuheng said, "I believe her." ”

Lin Yu sighed, "Maybe this time, you really believe the wrong person, my stupid son." ”

East Palace.

Zhou Zheng wore a plum blossom dotted skirt and sat in the study reading a book. In the Prince's East Palace, there are many books, which Zhou Zhengzheng likes.

In addition to the collection of books, some famous calligraphy and paintings also made Zhou Zheng very interested.

On the desk in front of him, there is a landscape painting, and Zhou Zhengzheng is still holding a brush in his hand.

"The princess is really good at drawing." The palace maid on the side looked fascinated.

"yes, almost as real as it gets." Another palace maid continued.

Zhou Zheng ignored it and copied it carefully stroke by stroke.

After painting for about an hour, Zhou Zheng took a breath of relief, looking at the two paintings in front of him, Zhou Zheng was also a little proud, after all, the copied painting and the original painting are really similar, at first glance it looks very similar, look closely, it is still very similar.

Zhou Zheng asked the palace maid to take the painting to dry, and he lay down on the chaise longue to rest.

A palace maid hurriedly brought a bowl of lotus seed soup, and Zhou Zhengzheng took a sip, and then closed his eyes and rested.

The cool breeze blew Zhou Zhengzheng's eyelashes continuously, and also took away a touch of incense from Zhou Zhengzheng's shoulder.

At this time, Lin Zhongchao came in from outside and saw Zhou Zhengzheng resting, Lin Zhongchao didn't bother, but turned around and went to the side room, which was also a study, but it was smaller.

Lin Zhongchao reads books relatively slowly, and often writes and draws on the side of the book, and the room is often filled with a faint fragrance of ink.

Just as Lin Zhongchao was concentrating on reading, suddenly a crisp breaking sound came from outside the window.

Following the prestige, Lin Zhongchao saw a palace maid trembling in fear, and on the ground, there was a pile of broken porcelain.

Looking closely, this is what Zhou Zhengzheng brought from the Wu Guogong Mansion.

Suddenly, the anger in Lin Zhongchao's chest came up, and he put down the book in his hand, and Lin Zhongchao walked out.

When the palace maid saw the prince coming to ask for guilt, she pounced and fell to her knees.

But before Lin Zhongchao could start scolding, Zhou Zhengzheng spoke first.

"It's okay, you go down and get busy."

Lin Zhongchao turned around, only to find that Zhou Zhengzheng was already standing behind him at some point, perhaps because he was in a hurry, and his hairpin was a little crooked.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, when did you come?" Zhou Zheng asked curiously.

"Just came," Lin Zhongchao said as he and Zhou Zhengzheng entered the house.

"I heard that you have been in the study for a long time, what are you reading?" Lin Zhongchao smiled, his eyes staring at Zhou Zhengzheng.

"Guess." Zhou Zheng asked playfully.

Lin Zhongchao only glanced at the desk, and knew that Zhou Zhengzheng was painting just now, but he still pretended to be looking for something.

"Don't pretend, I know you guessed it." Zhou Zhengzheng pulled Lin Zhongchao's sleeve and pulled Lin Zhongchao back to the desk.

"Take out the two paintings and show them to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yes."

Soon, two palace maids came in with two painting scrolls, and the desks were large, one on top and one side by side below.

As the scroll unfolds, the two identical landscape paintings are almost painted at the same time.

Zhou Zhengzheng secretly glanced at Lin Zhongchao and found that Lin Zhongchao's face was also a little surprised.

Zhou Zheng smiled proudly.

The scroll is not fully unfolded because there is a seal at the end of the original painting, but Zhou Zheng did not want to fake it, so there is no seal on Zhou Zheng's painting.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is invited to taste it." Zhou Zheng stretched out his palm and pointed to the two paintings.

Because the two paintings are too similar, in order to see more clearly, Lin Zhongchao lowered his head.

I also used my fingers to compare back and forth on the paintings.

"You drew it." After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhongchao pointed to a painting on it and said to Zhou Zhengzheng with confidence.

"Why are you so sure?" Zhou Zhengzheng asked curiously.

Now, even Zhou Zhengzheng himself can't tell which painting he painted.

Now, it's Lin Zhongchao's turn to be proud.

"You copied very well, if you didn't have this pen, you would have really been deceived by you." Lin Zhongchao said, pointing to the branch of a pine tree in the painting.

"The leaves didn't fall up."

Zhou Zheng looked over and found the extra stroke in the painting.

It's just that Zhou Zhengzheng remembered that he didn't deliberately draw that stroke, perhaps, when he accidentally touched the traces left behind.

It's just that Zhou Zheng still doesn't give up, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince guesses wrong, he will lose something." ”

"Yes." Lin Zhongchao looked confident, "I guessed wrong, no matter what you want, I can satisfy you." ”

"Okay, the prince said it, and the horse is hard to chase." The corners of Zhou Zhengzheng's mouth flashed a wicked smile.

"Open the scroll."

The palace maids carefully unfolded the scroll at the end, and gradually, a trace of red appeared on the scroll that Lin Zhongchao thought was the original.

That's a seal.

On the other side, there is no seal.

A hint of pride was written on Lin Zhongchao's face.

"Well, I guessed right." Lin Zhongchao said to Zhou Zhengzheng with a smile.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I am willing to lose the bet." Zhou Zheng looked at Lin Zhongchao playfully and showed a very strange smile.

Lin Zhongchao's heart trembled suddenly, and he felt that he had fallen for Zhou Zhengzheng, but after a closer look, the painting with the seal was indeed the original work of the painter.

At this time, before Lin Zhongchao could make another appraisal of another painting, Zhou Zhengzheng smiled and announced the answer.

"Both paintings are original works by the artist."

Lin Zhongchao suddenly realized that Zhou Zhengzheng had dropped the painting he had just copied.

At this time, Zhou Zheng asked people to take out the painting he copied and put it together with the other two.

"Concubine Ai's good craftsmanship, this copying skill has caught up with those old men in the Hanlin Academy," Lin Zhongchao said approvingly.

Zhou Zheng asked the palace maid to remove all three paintings, and then asked people to bring the fungus soup that Lin Zhongchao liked very much.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the bet just now is not counted." Zhou Zhengzheng knew Lin Zhongchao's temper and wanted to capture him.

"Say, what do you want," Lin Zhongchao lost, but the confidant who lost orally. While drinking lotus seed soup, he said to Zhou Zhengzheng with a general smile.

With Lin Zhongchao's promise, Zhou Zhengzheng immediately took out a piece of paper and handed it over and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince owes me a gambling contract." ”
