The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

The ink was ground quickly.

Chu Jian took a deep breath, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and started writing.

She had copied the Buddhist scripture a hundred times and had memorized it by heart. So what if there were twelve kinds of handwriting? She could switch between them at will and finished it in one go in front of everyone.

The emperor was sitting on a high throne and could see everything clearly. He had been rubbing her solar plexus since she finished writing the first word, and would steal a glance at her progress from time to time.

He knew it, he knew it! If it didn't make a splash at first sight, it would be a big hit, and it was the kind that could shock people to death!

The last time he was so shocked was after he came back from the autumn hunt. The conclusion given by the coroner was the same as what she said. The coroner even said that he had never seen anyone who could come to a conclusion so quickly after just one look.

At that time, he only thought that she had learned this from a divine doctor, but now, who did she learn it from? He had found out clearly that the prime minister had let her go in the countryside and had never returned to see her, not to mention hiring a teacher for her.

The emperor looked at her with a puzzled expression, and there was more and more worry in his eyes.

The prime minister had the same doubts as the emperor, but he kept his head down from the beginning until now and dared not speak a word, for fear that the emperor's wrath would affect the prime minister's residence.

Compared with the emperor and the prime minister, Tutor Li was extremely excited. He had already walked to the desk when he first saw the writing process and was almost leaning over the table.

There were more than twelve kinds of handwriting on the paper, including cursive script that he had never imagined. It was unexpected that a delicate woman could write such bold and unrestrained cursive script. Even though he saw it with his own eyes, he still had an expression of disbelief, with his mouth wide open.

Chu Jian threw away the pen after finishing writing, raised his little face, and said mercilessly to Li Taifu, "Humph! Open your eyes and take a good look!"

Master Li didn't care about her attitude when they first met. At this moment, he only had eyes for the words she had just written, and he picked up the pen before the ink was completely dry.

"Your Majesty, Princess Zhan's calligraphy is as smooth as flowing clouds and running water, the strokes are as fast as smoke, the strokes are as sharp as iron and as sharp as silver, the strokes are as smooth as dragons and snakes, the ink is rich and full, the calligraphy is neat and tidy, and the bones and muscles are strong. It is truly a work of perfection and full of energy!"

First meeting... What a good use of the idiom and what a good flattery! The old man's attitude changed really quickly!

The emperor took it and read it with the empress. Afterwards, it was passed around to almost everyone in the hall, and everyone stared at it in disbelief.

Chu Jian leaned against Jing Muyang, raised her little face, and looked proud.

The emperor couldn't say anything to her, and didn't want to praise her, as he couldn't save face.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, your eldest daughter is a talented person. When it comes to calligraphy, she is even better than Chu Xia. I have never taught a student like you.” Taifu Li stroked his beard and praised generously. His eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Chu Jian.

"Father, such a small matter can easily reveal the misunderstanding. Father has always been known for his heroic deeds. I don't know who bewitched him and he didn't even give Princess Zhan a chance to explain herself." The prince spoke at the right time.

"Do you need to be persuaded by others? No one would have thought that a girl who grew up in the countryside would be so capable. Your Highness, before Princess Zhan wrote it just now, didn't you also not believe it?" The Fifth Prince took over the conversation.

"Fifth brother, what do you mean? I am indeed shocked, but a girl who grew up in the countryside can't do that? After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family. How bad can she be?"

"That's right, Fifth Brother, you are too polite. We are just confused, but we haven't reached the point of questioning. After all, it is so obvious that someone was asked to copy it for us. Although Princess Zhan likes to make trouble, she is not so stupid. Father is definitely not unable to distinguish right from wrong. Someone must have instigated her to spread rumors. Maybe father locked up Princess Zhan because he was angry." The Sixth Prince spoke up.

"What you said is very nice." The fifth prince sneered.

"Enough!" The emperor was really angry. There were ministers present. Is it appropriate for brothers to confront each other like this?

After Ming Fei saw the first pen, she became restless and dared not raise her head.

The emperor glared at Consort Ming. It was she who brought the Buddhist scripture from the temple to him yesterday! She was also the one who spread the slander!

"Your Majesty, there are still important matters to discuss. How should we deal with Prince Zhan who broke into the palace at night with a military order? We must come to a conclusion." The censor spoke at this time. He had no business caring about the affairs of Prince Zhan's wife. He was targeting Prince Zhan.

"What are you talking about? You have something to ask your father at night, but you are not allowed to enter the palace?" Chu Jian turned around and confronted him when he heard it.

"Princess Zhan, it's not impossible, but you need to wait for the order instead of just barging in. Especially if you have a military order, that's even more unacceptable. A military order can only allow the emperor to appear directly in person when the military situation is urgent, and last night Prince Zhan lied about the military situation, and that's a crime!" The censor did not give in.

"You fart!" Chu Jian was annoyed.

Jing Muyang pulled her and knelt down again, "I know I did something wrong, I will leave it to you, father."

"What did you do wrong? Did you lie about military intelligence?" Chu Jian shook off his hand and turned to the censor. "You said Mu Yang lied about military intelligence. Then I ask you, what did you lie about?"

"This...I don't know."

"Then who told you about this? The palace guard? What military intelligence did he know?"

"Princess Zhan, you can't just tell others about military intelligence."

"So you only told Father?" Chu Jian turned around and looked directly at the high position, "Father, did Mu Yang tell you any military information?"

"You girl! Is this a military matter?" The emperor was angry.

"Why not? Didn't the Imperial Censor say that Mu Yang lied about military intelligence? But Mu Yang never said anything related to military intelligence from beginning to end. He entered the palace for me last night. If you insist on accusing him of a crime, it was just misusing the military order. The reason why he broke into the palace was because I was imprisoned. This is a family matter and has nothing to do with military affairs!"

Chu Jian reminded the emperor that the mistake was caused by him. She would not let Mu Yang bear such a heavy crime anyway!

"Your Majesty, the country has its own laws and the army has its own regulations. If everyone in the army and the court abuses their power like the King of War, wouldn't it be chaos?" The censor persisted.

"Master Censor, aren't you the same? You don't even know the facts clearly but you just accuse others of high accusations. You just talk and get things done without any regard for right or wrong. Let me ask you, has Mu Yang's behavior caused any major impact on the country and the army? What's going on? I think you are the one who is just trying to create chaos and spread rumors!"

"Princess Zhan, this is too much!" The censor immediately knelt down and wailed, "Your Majesty, I am a humble official with a sincere heart. Everything I do is in accordance with the rules. I have absolutely no intention of spreading rumors, Your Majesty!"

"How is that too much? I think you are! You are just spreading rumors, you are just making up stories, distorting the facts and talking nonsense!"

This censor is so pretentious. If we weren't in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, I would really want to kick him when I first saw him.
