Daughter of aristocratic family

While Zhao Wangshu was recuperating at home, both the eldest princess and the second princess were accused of being married. The eldest princess was accused of being married to the eldest son of Donghai Bofu, and the second princess was accused of being married to Chen Xiao, as rumored.

The second princess is the sister of Prince Baofu and the emperor's favorite daughter. Her fiefdom is larger and richer than that of the eldest princess.

The marriage of the second princess made Prince Xianli and Prince Zuocheng even more aware of the emperor's partiality.

They unanimously encouraged each other's people to take action against Prince Baofu, and courtiers continued to impeach the officials who had taken refuge with Prince Baofu.

Prince Xianli and Prince Zuocheng took action, and Prince Baofu would not sit still and wait for death.

For a time, the court was filled with disputes and noises. In the morning, the minister said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Hai embezzled military pay and enriched his own pocket. This is a heinous crime!"

The minister then said: "Your Majesty, Wu Li embezzled disaster relief food funds, and the people are complaining!"

Another minister said: "Your Majesty,"

There are all kinds of crimes,

In the main hall, the courtiers were noisy, and an invisible smoke filled the hall.

Sitting on the dragon throne, the emperor looked at the noisy ministers below and remained calm.

When the hall became quiet, the emperor said: "I know everything you dear friends have said. I will leave this matter to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to investigate! We must get to the bottom of it!"

After the Minister of Punishment and Yushi Zhongcheng received the order, the emperor stood up and left, dismissed the court, and left the main hall. Prince Xianli and Prince Zuocheng looked at each other, and both saw a sneer in each other's eyes.

After Zhao Wangshu learned about this, he asked Tianying, "How much evidence has been collected against Marquis Weiyuan?"

Tianying replied: "We have collected some, but it is not enough. Weiyuan Hou has great power in the court, and most of his crimes are hidden and not easy to be discovered."

The last time Weiyuan Hou was fined, it was because he was tricked by Ma Qiaoqiao, and it was not his own fault.

Zhao Wangshu took out two banknotes and handed them to Tianying, "Let them continue collecting."

Tianying took the banknote, lowered her head slightly and said, "Yes, girl."

After Tianying left, Zhao Wangshu continued to paint. The painting was Guanyin Bodhisattva, which Zhao Li asked her to paint.

According to Zhao Li, she dreamed of her late mother, who was a Buddhist.

Zhao Wangshu's brush moved smoothly on the paper, and the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva gradually emerged. Although she did not believe in Buddhism, she would paint this image of Guanyin carefully.

After ten days of painting, she handed the painting to Zhao Li. Zhao Li looked at the Guanyin statue and smiled with satisfaction: "My Guaiguai's painting is really good."

The next day, Zhao Wangshu accompanied Zhao Li to Wenxin Temple, where he met Princess Rui and Zhao Shuqing.

The abbot of Wenxin Temple took the statue of Guanyin and unfolded it. The Guanyin Bodhisattva on the picture had a kind face, a peaceful expression, and fluttering clothes, as if he really appeared in the human world.

"The face of Guanyin Bodhisattva in this painting is kind, and his eyes are full of wisdom. It is really an excellent painting." Abbot Shitai said with a smile.

Princess Ruichang also looked at the painting and nodded appreciatively: "This painting is indeed very good, and the charm of Guanyin Bodhisattva is captured. My mother-in-law, which painter did you choose to paint it?"

When Zhao Li heard this, she smiled and frowned, "I didn't ask a painter to draw it, it was painted by my Yue'er."

Princess Rui Chengcheng regarded Zhao Wangshu as a noble person in her family, and said with a smile: "Yue'er is good-looking and talented. My mother-in-law, you have really raised a good daughter."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao Li felt very useful, "Her brother taught her this."

The implication was that Zhao Yin's painting was better. Princess Rui grew up and narrowed her eyes with a smile, and asked: "Master Tai, if I can worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, can the Bodhisattva bless Huai'er with good health and everything goes smoothly."

"Amitabha." The abbot said with his hands clasped together, "Honoring Guanyin Bodhisattva is the incarnation of great mercy and compassion. She can bless your son's safety and health." Princess Rui was overjoyed when she heard this and took Zhao Wangshu's hand, "Yue'er, can you do anything for me? Shall I draw a picture of Guanyin?”

She actually wanted Zhao Li to give her the Guanyin statue, but due to human sentiment, she couldn't ask for it directly.

Zhao Wangshu was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Of course, I will paint another statue of Guanyin with my heart."

"Why don't we just paint it here." Zhao Shuqing didn't believe that the Guanyin statue was painted by Zhao Wangshu.

Zhao Wangshu glanced at her and understood her intention, "Master, is there anything to draw here?"

"Yes, please invite some donors to come with the poor nuns." The abbot Shitai said with a smile.

The abbot master smiled and led them to the Zen room. There were four treasures of the study in the Zen room, including pens, inks, paper and inkstones.

Zhao Wangshu picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and sketched the outline of Guanyin Bodhisattva on the rice paper. Her technique was skillful and smooth, and every stroke was full of power and beauty.

"Three donors, please wait outside and don't disturb the little donor from painting." the abbot said.

Zhao Shuqing refused to leave, "I want to stay and help Sister Shu."

"No need, you will distract her attention here." The abbot said with a smile.

Zhao Shuqing wanted to say something else, but Princess Rui Chenggang glanced at her. She lowered her head and bit her lower lip, and followed out aggrievedly.

Seeing her look like that, Zhao Wangshu curled his lips and sneered, and continued painting.

An hour later, the upper body of Guanyin Bodhisattva was painted. Zhao Wangshu admired the painting and nodded slightly. She put the brush on the pen holder, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Hong Chang said outside: "Girl, the young master in the nunnery has come to invite you to the dining hall for a meal."

Zhao Wangshu went out, went to the dining hall to have a vegetarian meal, and sat face to face with Zhao Shuqing.

Coincidentally, the three dishes this time were exactly the same as those eaten at Fayuan Temple last time, tofu, small green vegetables and bamboo shoots.

"I wonder if the tofu in Wenxin'an is more delicious than that in Fayuan Temple?" Zhao Wangshu said deliberately.

"The tofu in Fayuan Temple is made with mountain spring water, so it is much more delicious than the tofu in Wenxin'an." Princess Ruichang said with a smile.

"Some people don't even think the tofu from Fayuan Temple tastes good. I'm afraid the tofu from Wenxin'an is hard to swallow." Zhao Wangshu looked at Zhao Shuqing opposite and said.

In front of Princess Rui, Zhao Shuqing did not dare to argue with Zhao Wangshu and stabbed the tofu with chopsticks bitterly.

Zhao Shuqing ate a steamed bun and said she was full, "Foster mother, I'm a little anxious."

"Go." Princess Rui frowned.

Zhao Shuqing took the two maids out of the dining hall, but instead of going to the clean room to solve her internal problems, she went straight to the Zen room where Zhao Wangshu had previously painted.

The door of the Zen room was ajar. Zhao Shuqing pushed it and the door opened.

As soon as Zhao Shuqing entered, she saw the painting on the table and was about to tear it up. The maid stopped her and said: "County Master, the eldest princess asked Miss Zhao to draw this. If you tear up the painting, the eldest princess will be angry."

"She didn't draw well. If I tear it up, my foster mother won't be angry." Zhao Shuqing ignored the maid's obstruction and tore the painting into two halves.

I went to a meeting and it was too late.
