Chapter 134
The crowd came along with Princess Changping to Ling Jingshu’s poems and paintings
-County Lord Fumin had a sneer of contempt on her face as she casually glanced at it
When the poem painting was introduced to her eyes, County Head Fu Min’s pupils suddenly contracted for a moment, and her face quietly changed
Compared to the colorful and dazzling lotus picture just now, the one in front of her did not use any pigments, and was only painted in water-dyed ink
Obviously there were only black and white colors, but it made people feel that this pool of lotus flowers and leaves swayed gently with the wind, swaying and beautiful to the extreme, and in the upper left corner was inscribed with four verses of a poem
Being in the sludge is not stained mud, white stems buried in the ground no one knows
Vitality of red and green in the clear, do not wait for the wind to incense full of pool
The beauty and elegance of the lotus flower comes out in these few lines
Especially the last line, “not waiting for the wind to fill the pool with fragrance”, is the finishing touch
It adds a lot of color to this lotus painting
What a Ling Jingshu!
What a lotus painting!
Princess Fu Min’s poetry and painting skills are excellent, naturally, she is not a vulgar and ignorant person with no vision
On the contrary, her appreciation of water was definitely above par
Therefore, she could tell at a glance that Ling Jingshu’s poem and painting was better than her own Not waiting for the wind to perfume the pool,” Princess Changping repeatedly recited this line, her face filled with the color of appreciation: “Good, good one not waiting for the wind to perfume the pool!
Well written, wonderfully written!”
Su Ying’s eyes also flashed with a strange color, looking at Ling Jingshu steadily, as if seeing her for the first time, “Miss Ling Jiu’s ability to paint a good picture and write a better poem in a single stroke in a single cup of tea is truly admirable
-Even if it was her, she might not be able to produce such a masterpiece in such a short period of time
People with talent always make people respect them a little more
Jiang Shuyue also couldn’t help but praise, “The painting is really good, and the poem is also too well written”
She also winked at Su Ying with a smile, “Sister Su is good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, and has the reputation of being the most talented woman in the capital
It seems that today she has met her match!”
Su Ying smiled faintly, “There is a sky outside of people, I have been trembling with fear and never dared to be complacent
Today, after seeing Miss Ling Jiu’s poems and paintings, I also feel greatly benefited”
Ling Jingshu smiled and took over the conversation, “Third Miss Jiang, Second Miss Su, don’t praise me
I also dare to make a fool of myself today, I didn’t expect to win everyone’s favor, my heart is really terrified”That’s all
You also don’t have to be modest”
Princess Changping laughed: “Everyone has spoken out in unison to praise you, because your poetry and paintings are really good
Moreover, what’s even more amazing is that you used a very short period of time
It was completed in one tea time
It is truly amazing”
Ling Jingshu’s face was devoid of arrogance as she humbly replied, “This is a habit I’ve developed since I was young
Before making a painting or writing a poem, I have to make a mental draft first
Only when it’s all thought out clearly will I do it”
No wonder everyone was busy before, but she was the only one who didn’t move
-Originally, it was a plan that had been set in motion!
Princess Changping’s eyes grew more appreciative
Then she glanced at the earthy Countess Fumin
Who is higher or lower, who loses and who wins, can be seen at a glance
There is no need to say it out loud, lest the face of Fu Min be more and more embarrassed
However, the previous betting words are still ringing in our ears, how in the world should we end up at this time?
Princess Changping that glance of meaning is quite subtle
The present thousands of golds also all pay attention to the Fu Min county princess’s every move
What is in their hearts is the same question
With the proud and capricious nature of County Princess Fu Min, will she really fulfill her promise and jump into the lake to pick a lotus flower back?
Or is it a cheeky trick?
No matter what the reaction is, in short, today there is a good show to watch!
Countess Fu Min only felt that everyone was waiting for her to be embarrassed
A pretty face suddenly red and white, the color change is wonderful
Willing to lose!
Is it just jumping into the lake?
I’ll just jump once!
These words had already rushed to the edge of his mouth, but he was slow to spit them out
Right at this moment, Ling Jingshu’s voice rang out, ”Your Highness, County Princess Fu Min’s poetry and paintings are both excellent, originally above me
Just now, she was disturbed by my words, so she dropped an extra stroke and had to add a lotus leaf
It affected the mood and perfection of the whole painting
I have the honor to say, this time the bet, even if I and Countess Fu Min tied how?”
Giving enough face to Countess Fu Min
It also fully showed her tolerance and generosity
Princess Changping was unwilling to see County Lord Fumin jumping into the lake to pick lotus flowers, no matter how, County Lord Fumin is her cousin
If she lost such a big person in her residence, not only would Fu Min look bad
She, her cousin and master, would also lose face
Now that Ling Jingshu had taken the initiative to step back, it was the best thing to do
The original few points of appreciation in Princess Changping’s heart instantly soared to seven or eight points
Ling Jingshu also developed a great deal of goodwill towards her, “All right, since you said so, this palace will rule you both even”
After saying that, she also gave a meaningful glance at County Lord Fu Min, “Fu Min
What do you think?”
This time, County Head Fu Min had lost face and lizi together
The alms and mercy from Ling Jingshu, she didn’t want it at all!
But if she didn’t nod her head, it would mean that she would have to jump into the lake
Those present were all the capital’s top most famous ladies, if she lost in front of them, what face would she have to appear in front of them in the future as a hallowed county princess?
County Lord Fu Min’s lips moved, finally squeezing out a few words, “I’ll listen to my cousin”
This was undoubtedly a sign of weakness and bowing to the arrogant County Head Fu Min
Ling Jingshu watched, and in her heart, she only felt incomparably happy
However, it was better not to do this thing of beating a falling dog
She didn’t come to the banquet today to deal with a mere Countess Fumin
Her true goal had always been Princess Changping
She wanted to leave a deep and indelible impression on Princess Changping – a good impression, of course
In the future, she would be able to smoothly enter Princess Changping’s line of sight and appear around her
The long road of revenge, first step out of the most important step
Ling Jingshu thought secretly in her heart, but on her face, she did not show any emotion at all, and said with a smile, ”Today, I have the honor to learn the poetry and paintings of County Princess Fumin, and it is indeed a blessing for me
Thank you, Counselor Fu Min, for teaching me”
Countess Fu Min held her stomach full of sulkiness, and reluctantly responded, “Your poetry and paintings are also a real eye-opener for this county princess
If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely learn from you again”
Next time, I can’t be so gullible and careless, I must get this game back
Ling Jingshu smiled and said, “If you have the pleasure, I will definitely accompany you at any time
I’m afraid that after today, I may not have the opportunity to get together with county princess in the future!”
Princess Changping casually laughed, “That’s not difficult
This palace organizes banquets from time to time, so I will give you an invitation in the future”
Ling Jingshu waited for this sentence, and busily thanked her with a smile
Ling Jingyan and Jiang Clan on the side looked much more excited and happy than Ling Jingshu
Being able to make the proud Countess Fu Min bow her head, A Shu had really performed wonderfully today!
It was really a long way to get rid of this sulk!
