Rebirth of the silly girl Chengfei

Chapter 53

Everyone could only see Xiao Sesu's audacity, but they didn't know what was going on in her mind.

She was not gambling, but believed that Emperor Tianying would not blame her.

"Brother Huang, you haven't smiled so happily for a long time." King Jin said during the banquet.

Emperor Tianying said: "At the beginning when you chose this daughter-in-law for Wangyan, I still couldn't understand your thoughts, but now it seems that she is a living treasure."

"But Your Majesty, Xiao Sesu's disrespect in front of the imperial court is a serious crime!" Concubine Zhao said.

Emperor Tianying said displeased: "She is born stupid, how do you want her to be like a normal person?"

Concubine Zhao stopped talking and shut up embarrassingly.

"Desolate." Emperor Tianying held up the wine bottle in front of him, "You toast my wine, and I drank it too."

Xiao Sesu and Emperor Tianying drank wine facing each other, and at the same time, he was keenly aware that the atmosphere around him was not right, especially from the seats of the prince and his relatives, there were frequent vicious glances over him.

Xiao Sesur secretly sighed in his heart: Emperor Tianying really loved and believed in Yu Wangyan, but this undoubtedly pushed Yu Wangyan to a high and dangerous position and made him make enemies.

"Thurse, sit down."

After hearing Yu Wangyan's words, Xiao Sesu sat down.

As the palace banquet progressed, the atmosphere during the banquet gradually improved, and there were more conversations.

Xiao Sesu ignored the noise, and was still optimistic about the jug and wine bottle, not to let Yu Wangyan touch them.

"Thurse." Yu Wangyan called her by name, with a questioning tone in his tone.

Xiao Sesu murmured: "Since the death of sister Jinse, the prince has been in a bad mood, drinking too much will hurt his health."

"That's why you would rather take the risk yourself than drink for the king."

"...Yes." Xiao Sesu looked at Yu Wangyan, her beautiful eyes were quiet and affectionate, and the bottom of her eyes was soft and firm.

"My lord, whoever comes to toast, I will block for you..." Otherwise, with his current emotions facing Yu Qingyang and Zhang Jinlan coupled with the effect of wine, the blood centipede will definitely be irritable.

Touched like an invisible thread, it was quietly tied to Yu Wangyan's heart, and when he realized it, his heart seemed to thump, and he was shocked by Xiao Sesu's appearance at the moment.

He vaguely felt that this scene seemed familiar.

It was like at the Huachao Festival back then, when he sincerely proposed marriage to Jinse but was ruthlessly rejected, watching her leave coldly, and fell into Yu Qingyang's arms full of affection.

The way she looked at Yu Qingyang was very similar to the way Xiao Sesu looked at herself at this moment!

Yu Wangyan drank tea and smiled bitterly.

Has he missed Jinse so much?Even when facing an irrelevant woman, he would imagine her as Jinse.

Yu Qingyang in the banquet stood up at this moment.

"Father, mother, son, I thought of a good way to add some fun to the banquet."

"Tell me." Emperor Tianying said.

Yu Qingyang smiled gracefully: "My Dayao's female relatives are both talented in color and art. They dabble in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Why don't you invite a few female relatives to compete?"

Empress Zhao said with a smile: "I think the prince's suggestion is good, what does your majesty think?"

"That's right." Emperor Tianying said, "Just follow the prince's suggestion."

"Thank you, father, for accepting it." Yu Qingyang smiled gracefully, winking with Zhang Jinlan when she sat down, envious of many boudoir daughters present.

Since it is a talent competition, I should invite some talented female relatives.

Yu Qingyang pushed Zhang Jinlan out. She was generous and her speech was appropriate, which made Emperor Tianying look approvingly.

Concubine Zhao said: "Fan Yan is a talented woman from our Zhao family, how can such a competition lose Fang Yan?"

Zhao Fangyan's face was not very good, but he still got up and walked out.

Yu Qing Xuanxie smiled and said: "But don't forget about Yu Po, she is the most talented princess among Dayao Kingdom princesses."

Yu Po smiled coquettishly: "Father, since the second elder brother recommended it, the minister there will also come to participate in this competition."

"Okay." Emperor Tianying nodded.

Yu Qingxuan said: "Prime Minister Zuo's granddaughter is participating, and Prime Minister Xiao You, your daughter should also come."

Xiao Ke subconsciously wanted to call Xiao Shutong, but Yu Qingxuan said: "Miss Xiao San has always been quiet, and my highness is...very curious about her."

Xiao Ke felt a chill in his heart.

Xiao Sesu also felt wrong.Why does Yu Qingxuan love to target the third sister so much?It was like this when we were in the plum garden.

Yu Qingyang answered, "Concubine Jin is also the daughter of Xiao Youxiang, and she is also a concubine. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to invite her to compete with cousin Fangyan?"

Xiao Ke hurriedly said: "My little girl is stupid, it's hard to get into the elegant hall!"

"It doesn't matter." Yu Qingyang had resentment in his eyes, "Father just said that Princess Jin is a living treasure, maybe she participated in the competition and will bring everyone a different excitement."

"His Royal Highness..." Xiao Ke was in trouble.

Prime Minister Zhao Zuo took the opportunity to say: "It's no secret that Princess Jin is stupid. Even if she fails in the competition, no one will blame her. Xiao Ke, just relax."

Xiao Ke cast a cold glance at Prime Minister Zhao Zuo, how could he not know that the Zhao family just wanted him to make a fool of himself?
Yu Wangyan said in a deep voice: "Surse is too strong to drink, my nephew asked Uncle Huang to allow Sesel to rest and watch the battle."

"Let Concubine Jin also compete, it's all for fun, isn't it?" Concubine Zhao said, "Fang Yan has already appeared, the Xiao family can't just have a concubine daughter to call the battle, let Concubine Jin and Miss Xiao San come together, This is evenly matched.”

What an even match!
Concubine Zhao underestimated them too!
Xiao Sesu clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, okay, I'm going to compare myself to me, let's go together!"

"Turse." Yu Wangyan frowned.

Xiao Sesu pondered for a while, and leaned close to Yu Wangyan's ear.

"My lord, I have my own way."

She said "I have my own way", full of confidence, and her soft tone turned into a scent of fragrance and penetrated into Yu Wangyan's ears.

He was dazed, watching Xiao Sesue get up and walk towards the center of Jiaolan Hall.

Right now, the five female relatives participating in the competition have all been selected, Xiao Sesu, Zhang Jinlan, Yupo, Xiao Zui and Zhao Fangyan.

For the sake of fairness, Emperor Tianying asked Yu Qingyun to come up with the question.

The topic given by Yu Qingyun is very simple: one compares painting, two compares instrumental music, and three compares dancing.

The requirement for painting in the first scene is to only give ink and wash, paint peonies, and limit the time for two sticks of incense.

After the flower stands and seats were set up, Xiao Sesu sat down and waved to Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke was in a bad mood. Of the two daughters on the court, one was a fool, and the other he didn't like at all. Could it be that the Xiao family in Tangcheng is going to lose face today?
Five groups of palace servants came in, each holding a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and came to the side of the five female relatives.

Xiao Sesu glanced at the maidservant next to her, unexpectedly, this was not a maidservant at all, but a maidservant from Yu Qingyang's mansion.

The memory can't help but go back to the past, when I was bullied by all the concubines in the prince's mansion, even this little maid poured slop on her.

"Hey, Concubine Jin must have been hungry for a few days, so please taste how this bucket of swill tastes like."

When she came back to her senses, Xiao Sesu knew that this maid was probably arranged by Yu Qingyang to make trouble for her, so she said coldly, "Let's lay out paper and ink."

"Yes." The servant girl started immediately.

As the father-in-law of Jiaolan Temple lit the incense, the timer started.

Sitting on the stool, Xiao Sesu deliberately kicked his legs, took a brush and dipped in ink, drawing here and there.

Looking at the others, Zhang Jinlan is dignified and steady, completely different from the slut on Yu Qingyang's couch that day; Yu Po is writing and meditating; Zhao Fangyan is frowning as if he has something on his mind; only Xiao Zui has already begun to outline.

As Xiao Sesu expected, the maidservant Yu Qingyang beside her started to make trouble.

She knocked over the inkstone.

"Princess Jin, be careful not to kick the inkstone!" The servant girl said, grinding the ink again, making the speed extremely slow, making it clear that it would take time.

Xiao Sesu glanced at her, and continued to use the remaining ink on the pen to draw strokes here and there.

When the ink on the painting faded, the servant girl suddenly knocked over the inkstone again, "Princess Jin, you must be careful, otherwise regrinding the ink will waste time."

Xiao Sesu said in a deep voice, "You can knock it over and try a third time."

"Ah?" The maidservant was startled, thinking it was an auditory hallucination, "Princess Jin, this maidservant will sharpen the ink for you immediately." She said so, but her hands were still extremely slow.

Xiao Sesu didn't care whether the ink was thick or light, and dipped another stroke, and painted it on the painting.The deep and light ink on a piece of rice paper looks messy, and I don't know what it is.Xiao Ke was covered with dark clouds, and the cup in his hand shook in anger.

"Prince Jin, Princess Jin is painting peonies?"

Around Yu Wangyan, a clan relative asked.

Yu Wang said nothing, he looked at Xiao Sesel patiently, worried for him, and couldn't help but want to believe her sentence "I have my own way".

After one stick of incense was burned, the father-in-law lit the second stick.

Momo's servant girl took advantage of the bleakness and didn't look at her, and knocked over the inkstone for the third time.

"Princess Jin, your inkstone..."

"I don't need the inkstone anymore." Xiao Sesu took a paint dish, put it on the small table beside her, and looked at the maidservant.

"It's time for me to paint peonies."

The servant girl smiled and said, "The subject of the Fourth Highness can only be painted with ink. Now that the inkstone has been overturned, Princess Jin has no ink. How can I paint this peony?"

"What do you say?"

The maidservant looked triumphant, "The maidservant thinks that Princess Jin should admit defeat, the most important thing is to participate."

Xiao Sesel said in a low voice: "The leaves are all painted, and you don't need ink to paint flowers."

The maid was stunned, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Xiao Sesu's gourd.And when she reacted, a sharp pain came from her arm.

"Ah!" the servant girl exclaimed.Xiao Sesu actually took a knife for cutting rice paper and cut her arm!

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

Everyone discovered the accident.

Xiao Ke roared: "Xiao Sesu, what are you doing!"

"I'm painting." Xiao Sesu said stupidly: "The maidservant sister said, let me use her blood to paint peonies!"

The servant girl's face turned pale in an instant, like the jade in the banquet, her face was extremely ugly.

At this moment, the bleak eyes were extremely cold, vicissitudes, bleakness, and hatred from the past, gouged out on the maidservant's face.

"New grudges, old ones, I will settle with you today. Drawing with your blood is the greatest forgiveness I can give you."

Although her voice was low and inaudible, the maid could still hear every word clearly.

Fear seized her mind like a tiger, and the servant girl seemed to be frightened, watching her own blood flow into the paint dish.And the three feet of ice in Xiao Sesu's eyes made the servant girl tremble inexplicably.

"Okay." Xiao Sesu took back the small dish, "Go down, don't disturb me anymore."

"Princess Jin, servant..."

"If you don't go down, be careful that I will cut your wrist!"
