Wu Xuanzhi was holding the painting that had been turned into pieces, very sad.

Hearing Jiang Yanming's words, Wu Xuanzhi looked at the group of people in the courtyard, his eyes full of grief and resentment.

"This painting, Miss Yan Ming and I spent half a month and paid countless efforts," Wu Xuanzhi choked up, "It was ruined by you like this, and I will beat you if I replace me." ”

Mrs. Jiang was dissatisfied: "You are a painter, how can you talk to Jinping?" Jiang Yanming, you don't care about your people? ”

Jiang Yanming just smiled and didn't say a word.

"An artist, do you know who I'm drawing?"

Wu Xuanzhi was very excited.

"I'm drawing Her Royal Highness Princess Qinghe! It is a gift to Her Royal Highness the Princess! ”

Wu Xuanzhi's words exploded in the minds of Jiang Jinping and Old Madam Jiang.

"Her Royal Highness, Princess?"

Jiang Jinping's face instantly turned pale.

There are only a few days left before Ji Xingyun's banquet, and as early as half a month ago, the palace began to prepare with great fanfare.

After all, she is the emperor's favorite little princess, and the row must be sufficient.

Almost everyone in the capital knew that Princess Qinghe was about to die, and Jiang Jinping and Mrs. Jiang were both eligible to participate in Ji Xingyun and the banquet.

"You say yes, yes?"

Jiang Jinping is still not giving up.

"Are you stupid? Do you know her or do I know her? ”

Jiang Yanming said disdainfully. As we all know, Ji Xingyun and Jiang Yanming have not liked each other since they were children, so Jiang Yanming must be familiar with Ji Xingyun.

"This, this ......"

Jiang Jinping panicked, she didn't expect that what she tore up was the portrait of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Such a sin, even if you cut her, it will not be enough to make up for it.

"So how are you going to make up for it?"

Jiang Yanming glared at Jiang Jinping and said.

With the old lady here, Jiang Yanming can't do whatever she wants, so she can only use etiquette to directly crush Jiang Jinping to death.

What if you don't have the heart? What you are destroying is the portrait of Ji Xingyun, Princess Qinghe!

Jiang Jinping looked at Mrs. Jiang with a pleading gaze, "Grandmother, Jinping didn't mean it, Jinping really didn't mean to destroy the portrait of Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

"Grandmother believes in you."

Old Madam Jiang's loving gaze stayed on Jiang Jinping for a moment, and then turned to Jiang Yanming with a serious expression.

"Yan Ming, forget it this time, Jinping didn't mean it. You won't be held accountable for the two times you hit Jinping, so forget it. ”

"Forget it? How is this possible?! ”

Before Jiang Yanming could speak, Wu Xuanzhi shouted first.

"Not to mention that she made our painting like this, we can only repaint it, and it will take a lot of effort, not to mention that there are only five days until Her Royal Highness Princess's birthday, and we can't finish it at all!"

"That's your business!"

Old Madam Jiang knocked on the ground with her crutches and said sharply, "Today, the old man put his words here, and no one can move the Jinping girl." ”

Mrs. Jiang is going to protect Jiang Jinping to the death.

Jiang Jinping looked at Jiang Yanming, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

"Forget it, grandmother said so, what can I do?"

Jiang Yanming was also very helpless, Mrs. Jiang spoke, and she had no way to deal with Jiang Jinping.

In this Jiang Mansion, even Jiang Guogong can't disobey Mrs. Jiang, let alone Jiang Yanming.

Although the original owner is arrogant and domineering, he also has to follow the basic rules.

For example, filial piety, in front of Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Yanming could not directly dispose of Jiang Jinping by crossing Mrs. Jiang.

"However, she made a mistake, and she has to give some punishment as a punishment," Jiang Yanming narrowed her eyes, "Otherwise, one day when the matter gets out, outsiders may say that our Guogong Mansion disrespects the princess." ”

Old Madam Jiang thought for a while, "What you said was, what do you want to do?" ”

"She's grounded for at least a month."

Jiang Yanming pointed at Jiang Jinping, "Being grounded for a month is not a big punishment, the most important thing is for outsiders to see." ”

Jiang Jinping's face instantly stiffened.

"Sister, I will also participate in the banquet of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"I didn't say I wouldn't let you go, except for the next month of that day, you will be honest with me."

At least you can't let this little camellia out and make trouble.

"Grandmother......" Jiang Jinping looked at Mrs. Jiang and begged for help.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang didn't look at her, "Then it's decided, Jinping girl, just listen to Jiang Yanming." ”

Although Mrs. Jiang prefers Jiang Jinping, she still understands the seriousness of the matter.

There is no substantial harm from being grounded for a month, and the ban is banned.

Then, Mrs. Jiang took Jiang Jinping and left the courtyard.

"Miss Yanming, what should I do?"

Wu Xuanzhi held the fragment of the portrait, anxious.

There are only five days left, and it can't be done so quickly.

"From now on, there are still more than a hundred hours before Ji Xingyun's banquet," Jiang Yanming said in a deep voice, "Do you remember the content of the portrait?" ”

"I can write it down, but I ...... it"

"No, however, we have to reproduce the painting before the feast."

Jiang Yanming's eyes were unwavering.

"But ......"

"Don't do it, grab your paintbrush and let's get started."

Jiang Yanming urged.

Time is money now, and there is no room for waste.

Jiang Yanming looked at Jiang Ling, "Fourth sister, you can also help together." ”

Jiang Ling had followed her and Wu Xuanzhi for half a month, and it was okay to get started.

"Huh? Can I really? ”

A look of hope appeared on Jiang Ling's face.

"Of course."

"Miss Yan Ming," Wu Xuanzhi's face was full of helplessness, "now we have nothing, and we have run out of pen, ink and paper." ”

In order to experiment with various painting methods, he used up all the precious materials that Jiang Yanming had gotten, and there was not much left.

"Miss Ben is going to get a new one tomorrow."

……

The second room of Jiang's house, in the courtyard of Jiang Jinping.

"Damn, it's a portrait of Princess Qinghe!"

Jiang Jinping no longer looked well-behaved and sensible in front of the old lady, with a look of resentment.

"Miss is angry, although she has been grounded, but the result is good."

The maid smiled, "Jiang Yanming's birthday gift for Her Royal Highness the Princess has been ruined, and according to what she said, it is impossible to prepare a new one in such a short time." ”

"And I can't prepare other gifts in such a short time, and Jiang Yanming can only give a gift to Her Royal Highness the princess at that time."

"That's right," a smile appeared on Jiang Jinping's face, "Originally, Jiang Yanming had a bad relationship with Princess Qinghe, as long as she made a fool of herself at the banquet of Her Royal Highness the Princess, hum." ”

"By the way, how's that gift going?"

"Don't worry, Miss, this is the best brocade brought by Mrs. Tuo Siye from southern Xinjiang, and it is not sold in the capital."

"That's good."

Jiang Jinping is very satisfied, she doesn't want her birthday gift to overwhelm the crowd, she just hopes to overpower Jiang Yanming.

……

Early the next morning, Jiang Yanming took the maid around the shops to look for the materials needed to repaint the statue.
