Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat
Chapter 183 Royal Annual Banquet (9)
Hearing this, Luo Lan was immediately unhappy, she frowned slightly, and replied coldly:
"General Wu didn't mention it, but I forgot. We had something to say beforehand. In this match, whoever wins has the final say. I won two games against you. Are you going to do two things for me?"
As soon as she said this, the faces of the Wu family father and son turned ashen. Seeing this, Leng Zi'an hurriedly smoothed things over and said:
"Princess Yu, why worry? It's not too late to make a conclusion after the last round. If you win this round, General Wu owes you three things. If you lose, they will win the round. That's how it works." , this has become a matter, so in this game, you can't compete."
Hearing this, Luo Lan smiled, looked helplessly at Leng Yu, pursed his lips at him, and muttered in a low voice:
"Sir, can I still win?"
The reason why she asked this question was because she felt that if she won the last game again, would it intensify the conflicts between the Wu family, Leng Zian, Leng Yu, and the emperor.
"Naturally we must win."
Without any hesitation, Leng Yu looked at her with proud and affectionate eyes, and softly said:
"These people, dogs see people as inferior. If you don't win them, they will slander you even more arrogantly, so you must win, and you must win thoroughly. Only in this way can you completely extinguish their arrogance."
Leng Yu knew that this Wu Hong must have ordered someone to invite the No. [-] painter in the capital before the first game even started. It seemed that he was well prepared. Luo Lan would not tolerate this game better than him.
He predicted that his Lan'er would win again, as for how to win, he couldn't figure it out, it was all based on feeling and trust in Luo Lan.
Before Luo Lan had time to respond to the contest, Wu Hong had already told his subordinates that the number one painter in the capital had come in. He came to the main hall, knelt down and saluted the emperor and all the adults, He sat down at the painting table that had already been prepared.
Wu Hong looked at Luo Lan, raised his eyebrows at her, and said disdainfully:
"Princess Yu, let's take the time of one stick of incense as the standard this time. Whoever can draw a work that everyone praises and admires within one stick of incense will be considered the winner. Do you agree?"
Luo Lan glanced at Leng Yu, then blinked helplessly at him, "It's all up to General Wu."
After saying that, she got up, raised her skirt and came to the middle of the main hall, bowed to the emperor, and sat in front of another painting table.
Wu Hong took a look at the two, clasped his fists at the emperor and said:
"My lord, can we start now?"
The emperor frowned. No matter how much he hated this Princess Yu in his heart, he had to admit that it was a fact that she won two rounds and drew one round in public. No matter what, it was considered a good face for the royal family, so, In this last round, he still hoped that she would win.
However, if she really won, he should really have doubts about her identity. There are not many official women with so many abilities, let alone a peasant woman, especially the words she just wrote, no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like it. Ordinary people can write it.
But right now, he is not allowed to think too much. Even if he has these thoughts, he cannot say them in front of these kings. He has to save the face of the royal family.
So, he nodded slightly, waved his hands solemnly and said:
"Since it was proposed by General Wu, let General Wu preside over this competition! I will be a spectator."
Hearing the emperor's words, Wu Hong showed a smug smile on his face. After he glanced at everyone, he turned his attention to Luo Lan and the painter, and then said solemnly:
"You two, today's competition starts. The time for a stick of incense is the standard. There is no mandatory requirement for the content of the painting. You can paint as you like. The emperor and all the adults present will give you a fair and impartial judgment .”
After he finished speaking, the painter nodded, picked up the pen, dipped it in the paint, and started painting on the canvas in front of him.
Luo Lan on the other side was not in a hurry, she leaned on her chin with one hand, stared blankly at the white paper in front of her, she didn't know what she was meditating on, and it seemed like she couldn't make a move.
The time for half an incense stick passed quickly, and Luo Lan still didn't make a move, and after a while, she actually lay down on the table, tapping her fingers on the table, looking completely at ease.
This scene made the emperor's eyebrows a little more angry. He was angry with Princess Yu: You don't know how to paint, so you can just bring it up. Why put on a show here and waste everyone's time?
The faces of Wu's father and son and Leng Zi'an showed joy that they will win this time. It seems that Princess Yu knows nothing about painting.
Everyone present was also in an uproar. Leng Xi, who always thought that this was unfair to Luo Lan, clenched his fists and expressed shame at Wu Hong's behavior.
At this time, Leng Yu's palms were sweating even more, and he began to feel uncertain. Although he had never seen Luo Lan paint, he could see confidence in her calm expression, but why was she motionless?Could it be that she could draw something unexpected at the last moment?
He couldn't figure this out, but he was also worried for her in his heart.
The painter on the other side was even more flickering and pondering. He had already filled most of the white drawing paper. Although he didn't look at Luo Lan, he could see it from his face. to the joy of victory.
In this game, he was conscious and sure of winning.
At this moment, Leng Xi, who was sitting on the side watching, finally couldn't help but speak,
"Sister-in-law, why don't you write?"
Hearing his question, some people in the crowd began to whisper, wondering why she didn't write.
Luo Lan glanced at Lengxi, and said to him helplessly:
"Emperor's sister-in-law is a bit inferior in painting, so I have to think about how to paint."
"But time is running out, and..." When he said this, Lengxi looked at the painter who was painting, frowning and anxiously urged:
"And the painting is almost finished, and it will be too late if you don't do it."
Only then did Luo Lan sit up straight, glanced at the painter beside him, then looked at Lengxi with a sudden realization, and exaggeratedly said:
"Thank you, Fifth Brother, for reminding me."
After the words fell, she picked up the pen and began to paint on the canvas in front of her.
After a while, it was time for a stick of incense. Wu Hong raised his eyebrows triumphantly, stood up and announced,
"Time is up, both of you, please stop writing!"
At this time, the painter put down the pen in his hand contentedly, and Luo Lan also put down the pen in his hand after finishing the last stroke of paint.
At this time, Wu Hong waved his hand, and two palace servants stepped forward to lift up the artist's painting. After seeing it, everyone praised it, praising it as a wonderful brushwork. After seeing it, the emperor kept nodding his head in praise.
"It looks like a picture of a tiger descending a mountain. The tiger's eyes are lifelike. It looks like a real tiger. Not bad, not bad."
Having received the emperor's praise, the painter was naturally overjoyed, he clasped his fists and bowed slightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Miao Zan."
Leng Zi'an couldn't wait to praise the emperor the moment he finished speaking,
"Well, you are indeed the number one painter in the capital. This painting skill is really unmatched. This king really opened his eyes today."
After saying this, he turned his head to look at Luo Lan, and asked with irony in his eyes:
"Princess Yu, you are doomed to lose this round, hahaha..."
"General Wu didn't mention it, but I forgot. We had something to say beforehand. In this match, whoever wins has the final say. I won two games against you. Are you going to do two things for me?"
As soon as she said this, the faces of the Wu family father and son turned ashen. Seeing this, Leng Zi'an hurriedly smoothed things over and said:
