Chapter 259: Embarrassed

His son is so clearly disliked, which one is willing to be a mother?

So, Li Zhiyin carefully observed the iris before starting to paint.

Li Mumu is very glad that he has become a relative and does not have to take the exam.

It is not easy to say that this ancient noble girl is really not easy, no matter what banquet large and small she attends, she has to take the painting test to even participate in a flower-viewing banquet.

She can barely read the handwriting now, but she can't draw.

Now drinking tea and eating fruits, I look at the noble lady opposite with a relaxed look at the serious painting there.

If anyone doesn't draw well, the family will be disgraced.

The stipulation is to be done within the time of one stick of incense.

As the incense burned, a few noble ladies put down their pens in frustration.

They didn't finish it.

Li Mumu looked at Li Zhiyin again, and Li Zhiyin looked calm.

Li Mumu was very curious about what Li Zhiyin's paintings looked like.

The palace people took the painting away and circulated it to the queen and concubine first.

The queen looked at it with a smile, and after reading it, she passed it to Concubine Shu and others.

After that, it was handed over to the palace people to be sent to the Guanjing Building.

The palace people handed over the paintings to the three princes, and the eldest prince looked at these paintings with some boredom, and said, "Let us watch them enjoy the flowers here, why bother so much and ask people to paint." ”

"Otherwise, how can you see their talents?" The third prince now knows that the eldest prince still has his heart set on the crown prince, and his attitude towards the eldest prince has also become closer, "You can't just look at your face." ”

The eldest prince smiled and said, "These noble girls have been cultivated by the family since childhood, and no matter how bad their talents are, they can't find out where they are. So your eldest brother and I, I really look at the face first. ”

The Third Prince: "......"

Brother Huang, you can be sincere.

The eldest prince joked: "Don't you look at your face?" ”

The third prince touched his face and said, "As long as the appearance is similar, you don't need to be beautiful." The main thing is that I don't dislike me for not wanting to make progress, and is willing to live an idle life with me. ”

The eldest prince nodded, this is really what the third prince can say.

He asked the prince again, "What about you?" Today you are the protagonist. ”

"Pick someone you can talk to." The prince pinched the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable to sit together all day long." ”

The eldest prince looked at these paintings and said, "You said that if we all choose different paintings, how will we evaluate them in the end?" ”

The prince smiled: "You want to embarrass the queen mother." ”

"I'm just curious." The eldest prince took out a painting and said, "I think this painting is very good, lively and interesting, and the leaves are fluttering when they look at it." ”

"I'm going to pick this one." The Great Prince said.

The third prince also took out one, "I like this one, it's simple and clear, and I don't want to paint it with more than one stroke, but it's very restored, and even the color is restored." ”

The prince took out another one, "I like this one." A flower growing in the vast grass is not as delicate as it is in this pot or in this garden. is obviously rich and powerful, but even if you change to a harsh environment, you can still grow hard with pride in your bones. ”

"It's really the three of us, and each of us has chosen a different one." The eldest prince said, "I didn't mean to embarrass the queen mother. ”

The three of them drew a mark on each of the three paintings to represent themselves and handed them to the palace people.

"Then let the queen mother decide." The prince said with a smile.

The palace people handed over the three paintings selected by the three princes to the queen, and the queen shook her head and smiled when she saw it.

"It was the palace's inconsiderate thinking, and the three of them chose three different paintings." The queen explained.

When she saw the painting chosen by the prince, she smiled, "This painting is Li Zhiyin's." ”

Li Zhiyin stood up and saluted.

"She is worthy of being the granddaughter of General Li." The queen said with a satisfied face, "This painting is majestic and open-minded. ”

"It's not good to give you this flower." The queen said softly, "If you don't mind, I'll ask the gardener to cut the flower branches for you, and how about you go back and cultivate it yourself?" ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

The queen also rewarded the noblewomen of the remaining two paintings with a pot of irises.

One pot had just been brought out for everyone to see, and another pot was brought out.

Miss Wen was surprised that her painting was not selected.

Why exactly?

What's wrong with her drawing?

At this time, the palace people served a new snack.

The dim sum is exquisitely made, pinched and sniffed on the tip of the nose, and there is a faint floral fragrance.

"This is a flower cake from the new research office of the dim sum chef in the small kitchen of the main palace, which is pickled with flower petals and made with the juice from fresh flower petals." The queen explained with a smile.

"No wonder there is a faint fragrance of flowers, it is very pleasant." Mrs. Wen laughed and laughed.

Miss Wen rolled her eyes and said, "I heard that Miss Li, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Shang had a rest together, and the dim sum in it was also a must, the appearance was exquisite, it was very rare, and even the taste was praised by people who couldn't stop it." ”

"Miss Li, I don't know what you think, how does the dim sum for a break compare with this?" Miss Wen asked.

Li Mumu frowned, this Miss Wen looked at a very elegant and quiet person, but she didn't expect to be so competitive, and she couldn't help it.

On this occasion, there was a sudden attack.

I guess it's because she didn't have her in the three paintings just now.

However, if you are not convinced, you can find the three princes, why bother staring at Li Zhiyin.

Moreover, she doesn't bother with the other two.

Li Mumu guessed that it should be because the queen specially called Li Zhiyin just now.

For the other two noblewomen, the queen did not speak, but only admired the flowers.

And the queen specially spoke to Li Zhiyin, and Li Zhiyin's painting was most likely chosen by the prince.

It seems that this Miss Wen really wants the position of the crown princess.

Li Zhiyin slowly tasted a bite of the floral cake first, and said: "The dim sum we forget about taking a break is just a folk thing, which the people can eat as long as they spend money." ”

"But the dim sum in the palace is something that ordinary people can't eat, how can it be compared?" Li Zhiyin said lightly, "Don't talk about the taste, the taste is a personal thing, some people like this, some people like that, and it's not good." In terms of rarity, it is better to have a snack in the palace. ”

Miss Wen opened her mouth and was about to say something, but when she saw Mrs. Wen's glaring gaze, she could only swallow back the words she wanted to say.

Mrs. Wen was angry, and this daughter was praised by their family since she was a child.

praised her for her outstanding talent, and was also regarded as the first noble girl in Beijing.

Wen Ruoying was carried away by these compliments, and really felt that she was the first in Beijing.

This time, he was slightly outcome, so he was unhappy, and he actually found trouble with Li Zhiyin on the spot.

But she didn't know how to think about it, who was not smarter than her?

Especially the queen and all the ladies in the palace, they are all human spirits among human spirits, how can they not know Wen Ruoying's purpose.
