“……”

The calligraphy and painting shop became silent.

Cao Huaji frequently glanced at the painting saint Pei Xuanzi, hoping that this painter could replace the third prince and re-comment on Li Su's paintings.

The painting saint lowered his eyebrows and was silent, and it was okay to say everything else, let him paint a way, to deliberately compliment others, he really couldn't do it.

In particular, he just said that Li Su's painting skills are average, which is actually a very face-saving statement.

"I don't usually see him pay much attention to this calligraphy and painting shop, why do you care so much about other people's comments at this time?" Ziying held her breath and quietly watched the confrontation between Li Su and Xiao Yuancheng, and was very speechless in her heart.

"Li Gongzi's painter..."Tian Qi, who was squatting at Li Su's feet, looked a little wandering, thinking that he shouldn't have made a random evaluation...

"Not bad." After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yuancheng gritted his teeth and changed his words, feeling extremely aggrieved in his heart.

At this time, you can't completely tear your face with the bastard in front of you.

"Just not bad?" Li Su was dissatisfied.

Xiao Yuancheng said angrily: "Don't deceive people too much!" ”

Li Su paused and waved his hand generously, "Vassals and elegant people are only worthy of watching some vulgar works." ”

Everyone: "......"

Xiao Yuancheng left, and he was very aggrieved.

"Go close the door." Li Su sat back on the old man's chair and commanded.

Purple Shadow bowed slightly, and walked quickly to the door.

Tian Qi, who was squatting at Li Su's feet, just wanted to stand up, but he felt a warm hand on his head, and his pretty face couldn't help but blush.

"Whew~." Li Su breathed a long sigh of relief and carefully recalled his confrontation with Xiao Yuancheng.

Forcing Xiao Yuancheng to change his words was not entirely his cautious behavior, mainly to determine Xiao Yuancheng's attitude.

In that case, he is still willing to give in, which shows that Xiao Yuancheng is not a gentleman, and he has roughly understood what it means once he bears the stigma of 'rebellion'.

Ziying walked over, looked at Li Su who was slumped in the chair, and teased: "Your legs are scared and weak? ”

"I'm scared and soft, and Xiaoqi helps me to support me." Li Su snorted lightly.

Tian Qiqiao's face turned red again.

"Miss..."Ziying's heart tightened, and she immediately flashed, and when she came to the counter, she saw Li Su's hand touching Tian Qi's head, and her eyes suddenly cold.

Li Su coughed lightly and quietly withdrew his right hand.

Tian Qi stood up at the right time and glanced at Li Su with a red face.

"Bastard." Ziying gritted his teeth, he was angry in his heart, just this time to close the door, this man dared to get started?

Her Royal Highness the princess too, why don't you stop it?

"Squatting for so long, are your legs numb?" Li Su avoided Ziying's cold gaze, looked at Tian Qi, and asked with concern.

Tian Qi lowered his head and shook his head slightly.

"If you dare to belittle my young lady again, I will abolish you!" Ziying pulled Tian Qi over and sneered and threatened.

After speaking, he took Tian Qi and walked back to the courtyard.

"I don't know how to touch my head and kill." Li Su muttered, and also got up and walked back to the courtyard.

…

On the streets north of the city.

Xiao Yuancheng's face was gloomy and cold, and while his anger was rolling, he was still a little aggrieved in his heart.

As the third prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, how could he have suffered such a loss?

Approaching the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Yuancheng calmed down completely, he glanced at the painting saint, and asked, "You are the painting saint, tell me, how is his painting work?" ”

The painting saint whisker said: "The first comments of the Third Highness are very pertinent, and his painting work is indeed very ordinary. ”

"Lone just said, Lone can't be wrong." Xiao Yuancheng sneered, and immediately wondered, "Don't he really know that his painting skills are very ordinary?" ”

"Of course he knows." The painting saint laughed.

"Since he knows, then he deliberately targeted Lone?" Xiao Yuancheng frowned.

"Probably not." Painting the Holy Groan.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yuancheng's brows furrowed very tightly.

The painting saint didn't answer directly, but smiled and said: "If the Third Highness says that the old Taoist painters are average, the old Taoist will not care, and will only laugh away." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Yuancheng raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment, and complained, "You are a painting saint, who dares to say that your painting skills are average?" To dare to say this will only appear to be ignorant. ”

The painting saint continued: "But the Third Highness, if you want to say that the old way's fishing skills are average, the old way may be in a hurry with you. ”

Xiao Yuancheng was stunned, recalling the scene of walking with the painting saint all the way, when walking on the waterway, the painting saint loved fishing, but often couldn't catch even a fish for a whole day.

This fishing technique is just afraid that it is really average.

"Why is that?" Xiao Yuancheng whispered.

The painting saint glanced at Xiao Yuancheng, "If someone says that the Third Highness is inhumane, will His Highness be angry?" ”

"Alone and inhumane?" Xiao Yuancheng smiled and said leisurely, "If there is really such a rumor, it is still very good to prove your innocence." ”

"If someone says that Lord Cao is inhumane, I'm afraid Lord Cao will be so angry that he kills people." The painting saint smiled.

Cao Huaji's face froze, and he glared at the painting saint coldly.

Xiao Yuancheng was stunned and faintly realized.

"You want to say that Lone said that he was average in painting, and poked at his shortcomings." Xiao Yuancheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It's not a shortcoming." The painter said, "The tea in the shop has not been changed for more than half a year, and there is a little dust on many calligraphy and paintings.

The young man probably didn't care about the calligraphy and painting shop, it may be that he had studied painting for a long time, but he found that he was average in painting and didn't want to accept it..."

"It's strange that such a treacherous person is a good painter." Xiao Yuancheng sneered.

"That's right." The painting saint nodded, very agreed, and said with a smile, "If you want to achieve something in painting, you must be as kind as the old way." ”

Xiao Yuancheng: "Hehe..."

"Stinky and shameless." Cao Huaji scolded secretly.

"Your Royal Highness, let's think about countermeasures." The painting saint reminded, "The old Tao will forget everything he hears in the calligraphy and painting shop." ”

Cao Huaji hurriedly followed and said, "The slave didn't hear anything. ”

Xiao Yuancheng's face became gloomy again.

"Framing Lone for rebellion..."Xiao Yuancheng frowned, at that time, after understanding Li Su's intentions, he was almost stunned at once, and he couldn't think calmly at all.

Return to the City Lord's Mansion and ascend to the high pavilion where Cao Huaji temporarily lives.

"Is there nothing Lone can do about him?" Xiao Yuancheng looked at Cao Huaji, his brows furrowed.

"This ......" Cao Huaji hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

As a heavenly slave, he entered the palace at the age of eight, and he knew very well that rebellion was different from other crimes.

For other crimes, it may take irrefutable evidence before a conviction can be made.

But once it comes to rebellion, it has always been better to kill mistakes than to let go.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, it will definitely be difficult for His Majesty the Emperor to trust this third prince in the future.

"The minions don't know." Cao Hua bowed his head, he didn't dare to make any suggestions on this kind of matter.

Xiao Yuancheng's face was flushed with irritability, and he felt very aggrieved.

When he arrived in Gusu City, he hadn't started to act yet, but Li Su was targeted and caught him off guard.

Sitting on the soft couch, Xiao Yuancheng calmed down, closed his eyes, and recalled everything that happened in the Boyang calligraphy and painting shop.

"He knew that Lone would come, so he dug a pit in advance and waited for Lone."

"Lone can't be sure, if he really arranged for other people to spread rumors for Lone..."

"That anti-poem, once it spreads in the name of loneliness......"

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuancheng's brows furrowed very tightly, and there was a slight coolness on his body.

As a more favored prince, he knows very well that once this kind of rumor reaches the ears of his father, with his father's temperament, he may not care with a light smile on his face, but he will definitely be suspicious in his heart, and other royal brothers and brothers will attack him with this...

"This kind of rumor must not be allowed to spread to Asagajo!"

Xiao Yuancheng clenched his fists and thought hard about countermeasures.

Cao Huaji, who was on the side, held his breath and stood respectfully, also thinking about the anti-poem.

The power of rumors out of thin air may be limited; But once you add this anti-poem...

"This is ironclad evidence of rebellion." Cao Hua said in his heart.

"You say, if you take it directly, take down that kid......" Xiao Yuancheng suddenly spoke.

Cao Hua was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "If the painting saint is willing to testify for His Highness, His Majesty should believe His Highness, and the slave is worried, that kid still has a back hand." ”

"Back hand......" Xiao Yuancheng frowned, not quite convinced, "A young man from Gusu City, his hand can really be inserted into Chaoge City?" ”

"Of course he can't." Cao Huaji said, hesitating, "But he stayed with Hua Langying." ”
