Qing He smiled shyly and asked her maid to bring up a table screen with the painting "Longevity as Long as the Southern Mountains" that she had embroidered in advance!

After everyone looked carefully, they couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise and admiration...

This table screen is embroidered on both sides. The front is embroidered with a vigorous and green ancient pine tree, with an auspicious message written in Zhao Mengfu's handwriting next to it. The back is embroidered with a lively and cute sika deer and a crane, symbolizing longevity and good luck. The embroidery is very exquisite, whether it is the green pine needles, the eyes of the sika deer, or the feathers of the crane, they are all clearly visible and lifelike!

"Mrs. Jiang is so amazing! She is so young, yet she has such exquisite craftsmanship. You can't judge a person by his appearance!"

"That's right, look at this calligraphy, it's exactly like Zhao Mengfu's handwriting!"

"To have such exquisite craftsmanship is one in a million!"

For a moment, all the ladies of noble families and aristocratic families were full of praise. On the one hand, it was because Qinghe, the young lady of the Jiang family, was of noble status, and on the other hand, it was because this table screen was truly exquisite!

But some people secretly sneered: "The table screen is indeed good, but it may not be embroidered by her! The Jiang family is so rich and powerful, where can they not buy a good table screen to pretend that it is embroidered by her! How can it be impossible to fake it like playing the piano live?"

The person who felt sorry for Jingying in her heart was none other than Duke Qing's daughter-in-law, Tan Xueyuan.

She smiled and said, "Young Madam's craftsmanship is indeed amazing and admirable! But unfortunately, we didn't see you embroidering, so we can't perform live like Princess Jingying did and let everyone open their eyes!"

When Tan Xueyuan said this, some people nodded in agreement, thinking that it was indeed true!

Qing He smiled and said, "Embroidery is a slow process, and it is indeed impossible to perform it on the spot like singing and dancing. However, Princess Jingying once asked me to embroider a sachet for her, and she knows my embroidery skills best."

When she said this, everyone present turned their eyes to Jingying, especially Tan Xueyuan. When she heard that the two had such an intersection, she couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression, thinking, what's going on? Why haven't I heard you say this before!

Qing He said calmly, "Sister Ying'er, I wonder if you have ever worn that sachet? If you have, why not take it out and show it to everyone, so that people won't think I'm an imposter!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood clearly that this young Mrs. Jiang must indeed be an embroidery master, otherwise she would never dare to speak like this in public!

But what is puzzling is that is she still related to Jingying? Doesn't she know that Jingying had a crush on Mr. Jiang before?

For a moment, everyone was secretly wondering what was going on. Why did the current Madam Jiang know the person who almost became Madam Jiang? What was the relationship between these two people...

Seeing everyone's eyes focused on her, Jingying's cheeks could not help but blush slightly, and she changed the subject and said, "Qinghe, I wonder what talent you are going to perform for the old lady?"

She thought that although this little village girl was good at embroidery, she must know nothing about music, chess, calligraphy and painting! This way, she could win back the game in this regard!

Unexpectedly, Qing He turned to look at Old Madam Jiang and said softly and clearly, "Grandma, Sister Ying'er has already played the "Birthday Song" for you, so I will draw a "Birthday Picture" for you on the spot!"

Having said that, he ordered the maid to bring paint, brushes and ink, spread out a piece of heavy silk, and started painting on the spot.

Everyone stopped drinking and eating, and curiously came over to watch Qing He paint on the spot.

Seeing this, Madam Jiang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction...

This granddaughter-in-law is quite smart. Not only is she good at needlework and embroidery, but she can also paint. She is much better than Jingying!

What's the use of just knowing how to play the piano and sing songs? You're not going to be someone's concubine. Girls should focus on chastity, quietness and needlework. That's the behavior of a lady from a noble family!

When the banquet was halfway through, Qinghe's painting was finished and she showed it to Mrs. Jiang. The old lady was very satisfied and praised her grandson's wife for her cleverness and intelligence. She also had the painting hung up on the spot for everyone to see.

After seeing the portrait, everyone was extremely surprised. They thought, wasn't it rumored that this young lady Jiang's family background was very humble? How come today, not only is she beautiful and graceful, but she is also outstanding in needlework talent. She doesn't look like someone from a humble family at all!

Some people also thought: Can a top chaebol family like the Jiang family marry girls from ordinary families? It must be inconvenient to reveal the girl's family, so they are deliberately modest. How can ordinary families cultivate such temperament and confidence! Standing next to Princess Jingying, she is not inferior, but appears more elegant and generous.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively. People were praising the painting and the person. Old Madam Jiang was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. While accepting the compliments from everyone, she said modestly: "Well, it's not all my credit. Although it was my parents' order and the matchmaker's words, Nian'er fell in love with her at first sight. What can I do? Hey, it's all fate! The two of them are a match made in heaven!"

Everyone was amazed at what they heard, but Jingying was the only one who sat there with a pale face and didn't say anything...

Every word from Madam Jiang hit her heart like a whip! She mercilessly laughed at her failure and embarrassment in public...

Yuying did not forget to say sarcastically, "I didn't expect that Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were so satisfied with the young lady. They are really not from the same family!"

Jingying secretly clenched her fingers and winked at Bingsui, who immediately understood and nodded!

When it came time to toast, when everyone was raising their glasses, Bing Sui suddenly said in panic, "Madam Jiang, why is the bracelet you are wearing exactly the same as the one my princess lost!"

Everyone was startled and looked at Qinghe's wrist, only to see a glittering gold bracelet on her fair wrist, which was very eye-catching!

Bing Sui said loudly: "This bracelet is a pair with the gold hairpin on my princess's head. They are both tributes from Java and were given to our prince by the emperor. I never thought that not long after we moved here, the bracelet was suddenly lost one day! But today it is worn on the wrist of the young lady..."

When the women heard this, they were all shocked. They looked at Qinghe's bracelet and found that it was indeed a pair with the hairpin! They were all made of pure gold and inlaid with colorful gems. They were very bright and beautiful. It was obvious that they were tributes from foreign countries.

Now everyone couldn't help but believe Binghui's words! They thought, it seems that you can't judge a person by his appearance. A young lady of a chaebol family would actually steal. Even if she didn't steal it, she must have picked it up on the street. In short, it's not a glorious thing!

When everyone looked at Qing He again, their eyes couldn't help but be filled with contempt and ridicule...
