After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone seemed to stop breathing for a moment.

The other princes in particular glanced at him with a gloating look, and then looked at Emperor Chu's expression tentatively.

Concubine Lan was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat.

As expected, Emperor Chu's face darkened a little, and he asked him in an ambiguous tone, "Are you questioning me?"

Yuwen Qi hurriedly said, "I dare not! I just think she is not that bold. Moreover, she comes from a military family, so she should not be so stupid."

At the end, he lowered his voice and stared at Emperor Chu's face carefully.

Emperor Chu frowned unhappily and said, "Prince Yong and Princess Huimin testified against her. Do you think they framed Meng Changning?"

Lan Fei hurriedly said: "Qi'er didn't mean that..."

After saying that, he winked at Yuwen Qi, indicating that he should apologize.

However, Emperor Chu angrily rebuked, "What does that mean? I sentenced Meng Changning to death for him, but he wants to plead for me on behalf of that guilty woman!"

"What? Does this mean that I shouldn't feel sorry for him and vent my anger for him?"

After saying that, he straightened up and shook his sleeves: "I shouldn't have come to see him!"

"Father!" Yu Wenqi was so frightened that he couldn't utter a word, and his hands unconsciously clenched the quilt.

Emperor Chu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, then left in a huff.

However, he moved too hastily and bumped into the scroll that Mo Huan was holding on his way out.

The little girl lost her balance and the scroll fell to the ground with a bang, revealing half of the picture.

Mo Huan knelt down in panic: "Your Majesty, spare my life!"

Emperor Chu did not attack her, but just stopped, bent down with a strange look, and picked up the painting.

When he opened it, his originally dissatisfied expression gradually relaxed, and his frowned brows became smooth.

The concubines and princes in the room looked at Emperor Chu's behavior with suspicion.

Then, Emperor Chu laughed out loud twice: "Hahaha, good! Good!"

This startled Concubine Lan. She looked at Yuwen Qi and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what are you praising?"

“This painting!”

Emperor Chu turned around with great delight and showed the painting to Concubine Lan.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Lan Fei took a closer look and saw a majestic dragon hovering over the valley. The dragon was lowering its head, as if talking to the people in the valley.

Who is that person?

Concubine Lan's heart skipped a beat: "Is this a painting of His Majesty?!"

Emperor Chu said excitedly, "Yes, who else could be wearing the dragon robe but me? Who painted this picture?"

Yu Wenqi stared at the painting in shock, his lips moved but he did not answer for a long time.

At this time, a weak voice came from the corner: "Father, this is what I did."

Emperor Chu turned his eyes away in surprise and saw Meng Zhaoge's frightened face.

"Little Six, wife, did you draw this?"

"Yes, Father, yes." Meng Zhaoge said timidly, "I had intended to give it to you, but Your Majesty was worried that my skills were not good enough and would offend your eyes, so I didn't give it to you."

Yuwen Qi's face looked even uglier.

Emperor Chu frowned and said regretfully: "Such a good work, how can the craftsmanship not be exquisite? I like it very much, and I will take it back to Qiankun Palace today."

Then he asked, "Can you give this painting a name?"

Meng Zhaoge lowered his eyes and said, "I call this painting 'Double Dragon Picture'."

"What a nice name!" Emperor Chu laughed and stared at the painting again and again, unable to let go.

Then he said to Yu Wenqi, who looked panicked, "You married a good wife."

Yu Wenqi concealed the complexity in his eyes and responded with a flattering tone.

The other princes were extremely surprised, and each of them looked at Meng Zhaoge with their own ulterior motives.

"The Sixth Prince's princess is truly a hidden talent." Prince Ding, Yuwen Shuo, seemed to be thinking about something.

Seeing that her father was angry, one of her paintings just happened to fall out.

And it turned out that just one painting could appease the emperor.

interesting.

Therefore, when Emperor Chu left and the other princes followed suit, they all glanced at Meng Zhaoge who was seeing them off at the door.

If a beautiful woman is also intelligent, she will attract all men in the world.

They became somewhat jealous of Yuwen Qi.

Prince Mao Yu Wenming even wanted to talk to her deliberately, but was pulled away by Prince Qi Yu Wenxi.

Yuwen Fei was the last one to leave after hesitating a lot.

Meng Zhaoge looked at him with a half-smile: "Your Highness Prince Yong, take care."

Yuwen Fei narrowed his eyes, wishing he could kill her, but he could only lower his voice: "Don't pretend with me! I helped you today, but you should keep that matter to yourself."

Meng Zhaoge deliberately looked suspicious: "What's the matter?"

"...You!" Yuwen Fei gritted his teeth: "Didn't you ask Liu Luoshu to come and see me? Otherwise, Liu Luoshu just came back from Xianchuan, how could she know that I... Humph! Anyway, stop pretending."

What he mentioned with gritted teeth was naturally the affair between him and Xia Cairen.

On that day, Meng Zhaoge caught the two of them having an affair, and thought that he had caught Yuwen Fei with something to hold against him in the future.

However, she didn't expect that not long after, she had the opportunity to threaten Yuwen Fei.

She did tell Liu Luoshu about this.

"Oh - so that's it. Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Yong, I'm not the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense." Meng Zhaoge smiled: "Besides, if I tell anyone, it won't do me any good."

Yuwen Fei said: "You are the best!"

After all, walk away.

Meng Zhaoge returned to the palace and saw Concubine Lan standing by Yuwen Qi's bed with tears in her eyes.

Even a man as heinous as Yuwen Qi has a mother who loves him deeply.

But she didn't.

Just now, her parents racked their brains to plead for Meng Changning, and even moved out the Meng family heirloom.

Meng Zhaoge would think: If I were the one who made the mistake today, my parents would definitely draw a line between me and them.

Perhaps the thing she would never be able to reconcile with in her life was her parents' indifference towards her.

Seeing her coming, Concubine Lan called her softly, which was very rare: "Zhao Ge, come here quickly."

Meng Zhaoge almost thought she had called the wrong person, but she immediately understood.

This mother and son really go with the flow.

So he walked over slowly and said softly, "Mother."

"Good girl." Concubine Lan held her hand. "It's all thanks to you. I didn't know you could paint. You are really beautiful and intelligent."

Meng Zhaoge smiled: "Mother, you are too kind. I hope that the emperor does not dislike my humble work."

Concubine Lan said, "How can it be called a poor work? Your Majesty, who is so knowledgeable, likes it very much."

"But..." Meng Zhaoge looked at Yuwen Qi dejectedly.

"The prince was displeased with my painting and couldn't give it away."

"..."

The smile on Lan Fei's lips faded, and she quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Qi'er is blind and doesn't know a great man. Don't bother with him. He also loves painting. You two can learn from each other in the future."

She then signaled to Yuwen Qi with her eyes to say something soft.

Yuwen Qi's face froze. He was reluctant to admit that Meng Zhaoge was very talented, but he had to say, "I am short-sighted. Please forgive me, Princess."

Meng Zhaoge said aggrievedly: "Then I forgive you, Your Majesty."

"..."Yu Wenqi felt like he was holding a breath in his heart.

But it was obvious that Meng Zhaoge was just following what he said.

But he just didn't feel comfortable.

He didn't know where this uncomfortable feeling came from, but on the way back to Prince Jing's Mansion, he suddenly realized it.
