The corners of Luo Lan's mouth rose slightly, and a look of disdain appeared in her pretty eyes again. She looked at the cold word An, raised her eyebrows and said coldly:

"Uncle Huang, we haven't even compared yet. How can we decide whether to win or lose? Could it be possible that Uncle Huang can predict the future?"

As soon as she said this, Leng Zian's complacent expression stopped abruptly, followed by a contemptuous tone and a disdainful expression,

"Hmph! The name of the number one painter in the capital is not for nothing. Since Princess Yu refuses to accept it, please show me your paintings."

His tone was still mocking.

Leng Yu beside him had a cold expression, and his handsome eyes were fixed on Luo Lan.

No matter win or lose, if someone wants to show a little disrespect to her Lan'er, he will not tolerate it.

At this time, Luo Lan waved her hand, and two other palace servants stepped forward and lifted up her painting. The people present couldn't help but burst out laughing after seeing this simple painting.

"Hahaha... what is this painting?"

"He really doesn't know anything about painting. He just draws anything to fool people."

"It seems that Princess Yu will lose this time."

"..."

Amidst the discussions among the crowd, the emperor's complexion was very ugly. From the painting made by Princess Yu, he could feel that it was perfunctory.

The Wu family father and son looked at each other proudly, and then grinned triumphantly. The meaning in the smile was very obvious.

Looking at the two paintings in front of everyone, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the Wu family's father and son must win in this game.

Leng Zian even waved his hands triumphantly at this moment, while stroking his small mustaches, he said triumphantly:

"Princess Yu, what else do you have to say? In this round, can you be sentenced to lose directly?"

Luo Lan glanced at the artist's painting, then at her own painting, shook her head helplessly, then bowed to the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, please allow me to talk about the artistic conception in this painting before it's too late to win or lose."

Although the emperor looked ugly, he didn't want to get angry with his daughter-in-law in public, so he could only wave his hands impatiently,

"Speak up if you have something to say."

Only then did Luo Lan twitch the corners of her mouth, raised her eyebrows and said softly:

"Father, please look, this painting was drawn by Luo Lan for you. What do you think the pattern on it looks like?"

The emperor said coldly without hesitation: "Like an iron bucket."

"Then what's in this iron bucket?"

"ginger."

The emperor's tone became a bit blunt. This Princess Yu really gave people the feeling that she was making progress. Originally, she won the first two rounds, and the emperor's impression of her improved, but she asked these inexplicable questions here. No wonder The emperor's face was ugly.

Luo Lan twitched the corners of her mouth proudly, raised her chin slightly, her brows fluttered, with sparkling eyes, she raised her eyebrows proudly and said:

"What the emperor said is very true. The one below is a barrel, and the jacaranda is filled with ginger. Does the ginger look like a mountain?"

As soon as she said this, Leng Yu, who had been sitting on the side meditating, suddenly opened his mouth in surprise, as if suddenly enlightened,

"The lady means that the meaning of this painting is: a barrel of mountains and rivers?"

As soon as he said this, Luo Lan winked at him immediately, then nodded triumphantly,

"What Prince Yu said is very true. I just said that I want to give this painting to the emperor, so although this painting is simple, the implication is obvious. The emperor will always rule the country."

"Hahaha……"

When the emperor heard her words, he suddenly raised his head and laughed. At this time, these simple words became majestic in front of him, and the more he looked at them, the more he loved them, especially when Leng Yu and Luo Lan were in each other King Fan said his words of dominating the country in front of him, which made him feel that the anger just now disappeared instantly, and the joyful joy increased a lot.

At this time, the Wu family father and son were dumbfounded, and Leng Zian also remained silent and stopped talking.

At this moment, no matter how poor Luo Lan's painting skills were, no one would comment on her paintings anymore.

Everyone even changed their contemptuous attitude just now, and started to praise her paintings,

"Well, although this painting is simple, the meaning is not simple at all. It's really wonderful."

"Unify the country, the emperor is safe, the blessing of all blessings."

"..."

Everyone's words fell into the emperor's ears. On the first day of the new year, the emperor's face was naturally filled with joy when he heard these words.

Seeing the disdain on the faces of the Wu family father and son, Luo Lan took two steps slowly, and came to the picture of the tiger descending the mountain, glanced lightly, and said solemnly:

"May I ask this painter, what does it mean when you give the emperor a picture of a tiger descending a mountain on New Year's Day? Who does this tiger represent?"

As soon as she said this, the emperor suddenly realized that he was planning to take the opportunity to seize Wu Hong's military power at this year's banquet, but so far he has not found an opportunity, and now it seems that the opportunity has come.

So, he slapped the table vigorously, and Longyan said angrily:

"Bold General Wu, does the tiger you asked the artist to draw represent yourself? Are you going down the mountain to hurt me?"

As soon as the emperor said this, Wu Hong suddenly felt that the situation was not good, he hurriedly stood up from his seat, knelt down on one knee, and kept explaining in a panic,

"Your Majesty, the last general has no such intentions. This painting was done by the artist alone, and has nothing to do with the last general."

The painter was already trembling with fright at this moment. He knelt on the ground, his body trembling constantly, unable to say a word. He would never have thought that his best picture of a tiger descending a mountain would make the emperor misunderstanding.

The emperor did not point the finger at the painter, but coldly snorted at Wu Hong again:

"General Wu, you invited the painter, without your permission, how dare he be so bold?"

"emperor……"

Seeing that something was wrong, Wu Yuanzhang hurriedly came to Wu Hong's side, bowed to him and said:

"Your majesty, Hong'er doesn't recognize this painter. The old man ordered someone to invite him. It has nothing to do with Hong'er. The emperor can send someone to the city to inquire. This painter is best at drawing tigers. The tigers in his paintings have sharp eyes and are quite charming. The style of the emperor naturally represents you, the emperor, and it also indicates that no one can shake your position as the emperor, and no one dares to shake it."

After saying this, he looked at Wu Hong with a cold face, and explained again:

"Hong'er, can you bring the soldier talisman? If you bring it, the emperor will take care of it temporarily to show your sincerity to the emperor."

His words hit the emperor's intentions, and he squinted at Wu Hong, waiting for him to speak.

Unexpectedly, Wu Hong directly clasped his fists and said:

"Back to the emperor, the last general's soldier talisman is still in the barracks, and he did not carry it with him. When the last general led his troops to fight, the soldier talisman was of little use. Understand?"

The meaning of his words is clear, the people in his hands don't listen to the words of the military talisman, but only to the words of others.

It seems that Wu Yuanzhang deliberately mentioned the painting of the military talisman to Wu Hong. He wanted to use Wu Hong's military power to appease the emperor's unreasonable anger.

After all, the painter's painting was really not inspired by their father and son, and they would not be so stupid as to use a painting to demonstrate to the emperor.

As soon as he said this, Leng Zian also echoed:

"What Taishi Wu said is very true, and I also feel that the tiger on the picture of the tiger descending the mountain is quite the majesty's charm. It is combined with the picture of the bucket of mountains and rivers, implying that the mountains and rivers of the emperor are stable and no one can shake them."
