After crossing over, I was favored by the villain

Jin Yan smiled faintly, [As expected of a man with the aura of a male protagonist, even in this situation, he will still be used by the people behind the scenes. I guess he relies on the power of Prince Yan's Mansion. I haven't seen him for a few days, and this kid has restrained himself a lot. ]

[It is obvious that Yu Zibo's confident and fast painting has attracted the attention of Princess Yi Yan. ]

[And the domestic violence man who was supposed to show up was nowhere to be seen. This was a brilliant move.]

Feng Hanyun, who was hiding in the dark, looked through the crowd and indeed saw Yu Zibo's figure. He also saw what Jin Yan said about him being favored by Princess Yi Yan.

She smiled faintly and said, "How is Prince Yan?"

A voice came from the shadows, "Deputy Pavilion Master, don't worry. King Yan is old and will never go to the battlefield again. The loyal subordinates openly serve the King of Fengtian Kingdom, but secretly they are also members of the Dark Emperor Pavilion. Even if King Yan summons them, not many people will respond."

Feng Hanyun nodded with satisfaction, "How is the investigation going at Phoenix Pavilion?"

"Reporting to the Deputy Pavilion Master, our people have already joined the Phoenix Pavilion and are heading to the Xuanbing Pavilion. News will be sent back soon. But Deputy Pavilion Master, how do we deal with the people in the Xuanbing Pavilion?"

She looked at Yu Zibo's confident look and smiled faintly, "Don't be in a hurry to show your true colors. Yan'er from Xuanbing Pavilion still likes her very much. Keep her for now. If you can successfully find relevant evidence, report it as soon as possible."

The shadowy figure quickly saluted, "Yes."

Feng Hanyun tilted his head slightly, and the man in the black shadow disappeared into the darkness, as if nothing had happened.

"Dang——" Daqing continued. Under everyone's anxious waiting, the competition time of one stick of incense finally ended with the sound of a gong.

Prime Minister Meng stood up and ordered his men to display the paintings one by one. He examined them one by one.

Others looked at this scene and began to talk.

"If it weren't for Du Beizhe, Prime Minister Meng's military and literary skills wouldn't have been suppressed so much. Seeing how eloquent Prime Minister Meng is, he must be very talented."

"Prime Minister Meng was also a talented person who won the top three prizes in the imperial examinations. It was only because Du Beizhe was too popular that he overshadowed Prime Minister Meng, who had always been unknown."

"The current left prime minister has been suppressed for many years by Du Beizhe, the right prime minister who is both civil and military, and has become a favorite of the emperor. Unfortunately, he is a traitor."

"It's a waste of your Majesty to take care of him."

"Can you guys be quiet for a moment? What's the point of discussing a dead person? Let's see what Prime Minister Meng has to say."

Prime Minister Meng looked at everyone's paintings, then he touched his jade ring and pointed at a few people's paintings. Then the nine paintings were officially displayed to everyone. He explained, "Some of these paintings are majestic, some are peaceful, some are picturesque, and some are of family members."

As he spoke, he pointed to one of the paintings and said, "This one in particular, depicts the majestic mountains and rivers to the fullest. May I ask who painted this?"

Everyone looked over and saw Yuko Hiroshi standing up confidently, straightening his clothes and standing next to the painting.

Yuko Hiro bowed and said, "Replying to Prime Minister Meng, this painting was originally...made by me."

Prime Minister Meng nodded with satisfaction, "I have a question, could you please answer it for me, sir?"

Yu Zibo also said politely, "Prime Minister Meng is too polite. I will tell you everything I know."

Prime Minister Meng smiled and said, "I noticed that the Fengshui mountains in your paintings are similar to the topography of our Fengtian Kingdom. I also noticed that you are not from Fengtian Kingdom, so what does it mean?"

Yu Zibo said, "Prime Minister Meng has a keen eye for talent. I am indeed not from Fengtian Country, but my mother's family is here. This scenery is what I saw along the way. The Prime Minister's topic is the beautiful mountains and rivers, so I created it based on what I thought in my mind."

Prime Minister Meng touched his jade ring and said with a smile, "Then how do you explain the silhouettes of two people on the city wall under the painting?"

Jin Yan, who had been watching the show from behind, almost laughed out loud. [Prime Minister Meng is indeed a shrewd man. He can actually see this man's ambition from the painting. He is a powerful prime minister.]

Yu Zibo didn't realize what Prime Minister Meng was asking, so he casually said, "To be honest with you, Prime Minister Meng, I accepted the call this time with the intention of promising one person. Of course, I want to enjoy such a beautiful country with my beloved one."

Prime Minister Meng smiled, stood with his hands behind his back, turned around and gestured to the people around him.

The people below began to discuss, "What does this painting say?"

"Read more books when you have time. Everyone knows that today is the day to find a husband for the princess and the prince. The only one who can truly inherit the throne is the princess. This person is very ambitious."

"Is he openly planning a rebellion? Which princess is really chosen by him? It's really tragic."

Yu Zibo had excellent hearing. He was shocked when he heard these words. He turned to bow to Jin Yujue who was sitting on the upper seat and said, "Your Majesty, I have no second thoughts about Feng Tianguo. I just want to be with you for the rest of my life. Please understand."

[The scumbag shot himself in the foot. He was too eager for quick success and accidentally exposed his ambition. He deserved it. ]

Thinking of this, Jin Yan burst out laughing, attracting Jin Yujue's attention.

Jin Yujue didn't feel anything, but he felt that Jin Yan's smile was meaningful. He didn't want to cause any problems on this day, so he smiled and said, "I wonder which princess this young master likes?"

Realizing what Jin Yujue meant, even Ruan Yan, who had just had a crush on him, became flustered and instantly looked away, no longer looking at Yu Zibo.

Even Ruan Ning tightened the handkerchief in her hand, fearing that she would be chosen by this person.

Yu Zibo is now in a dilemma. If he says he has someone he likes, he will be suspected of having a premarital affair. If he says he doesn't, he will be deceiving the emperor. He gritted his teeth, knelt down, and kowtowed respectfully, "I am not good at learning, and I dare not expect to be in love with the princess. I hope that Your Majesty will show mercy and allow me to leave this place and not disturb you all."

Jin Yan raised his eyebrows, [Want to run? It seems too late. ]

She leaned close to Jin Yujue's ear and whispered, "This man was once the son of Prince Yu of Nanyuan Kingdom, Yu Zibo, a former crown prince, but now he has fallen to the point of returning to his mother's family, Prince Yan, to live under someone else's roof. He is good at scheming, Your Majesty, you should keep this man in front of you to prevent him from doing anything behind your back."

Jin Yujue nodded, "Forget it, since you are participating in the marriage proposal, for the sake of fairness, you should continue with the rest of the competition. However, I can only count you as the loser in this competition."

Yu Zibo clenched his fists. He had learned this painting on purpose, but he had added the couple on purpose after realizing that the princess had chosen them. He had done something that backfired and was almost accused of a crime that he did not commit. He could only suppress his emotions and kowtow, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy."

Jin Yujue nodded lightly, and Yu Zibo stepped back, and his eyes turned to Jin Yan who was beside Jin Yujue. Jin Yan, whose appearance had changed, just made Yu Zibo feel familiar, but he really didn't know who this person was and why he was speaking for him.
