After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

After the early court, Xiao Yi ordered his ministers to judge which of the two paintings was better.

He didn't say which one was drawn by him and which one was drawn by Su Jingyan, and only let the officials judge.

Unexpectedly, apart from Su Liu, Hu Wei and Qi Yue, the three people said that his painting of holding a lotus every year won.

The rest of the courtiers all praised Su Jingyan's picture of boating in the lotus pond, which was even better.

Su Jingyan is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess and calligraphy, and is excellent in everything, but the paintings are a little inferior.

Although Su Jingyan has often studied painting in the past two years, Xiao Yi still feels that his paintings are better than Su Jingyan's.

Unexpectedly, all the officials would think that Su Jingyan's paintings were the best.

That's why Xiao Yi asked them to tell what's good about Su Jingyan's paintings, and then asked all the officials to leave the palace.

Hearing all the ministers praise Su Jingyan's paintings, Xiao Yi wondered if he was really arrogant, otherwise why would they all think that Su Jingyan's paintings are better than his?
When all the ministers left the palace gate, they all looked puzzled. They praised His Majesty's paintings, how could they make His Majesty displeased?

In Xuanzheng Hall.

Xiao Yi held two paintings and asked Su Liu and the others: "To be honest, which painting do you think is better?"

Su Liu said: "Your Majesty, it's naturally my aunt's painting of holding lotus every year is the best. In terms of skillful painting, the painting of holding lotus wins. Although the painting of boat ride is more vivid, but the painting skills are a little immature."

Xiao Yi frowned and said, "You think the picture of holding a lotus was painted by Ah Yan?"

Su Liu nodded and said, "Isn't it?"

Xiao Yi looked at Hu Wei and Qi Yue and said, "You all think so?"

Hu Wei and Qi Yue both nodded, because Hu Wei wanted to marry Chen Qitong and needed the help of the empress, that is, he praised Su Jingyan's paintings.

Besides, he didn't praise it against his will, because the picture of holding a lotus is much better than the picture of boating.

Qi Yue knew that he had misunderstood Chen Qitong and Su Jingyan earlier, and he felt guilty about Su Jingyan, so he also firmly felt that it was better to hold the lotus picture.

Qi Yue also defended Su Jingyan and said: "Your Majesty, this He Zhimin is Xiao Ting's side concubine. It is really unreasonable for you to openly include her in the painting. Although she helped you on the battlefield, she is also your nominal queen after all. aunt……"

Su Liu also whispered: "That's right, you haven't even drawn my aunt, but you have drawn He Zhimin..."

Xiao Yi said helplessly: "You have been classmates with me for many years, can't you even distinguish the pictures I drew?"

Su Liu took a closer look: "So this picture of holding a lotus was drawn by you?"

Xiao Yi finally understands why the courtiers today think that the picture of the boat is better than the picture of holding the lotus. It turns out that everyone thinks that the picture of the boat was drawn by him.

Xiao Yi said, "Yes."

Su Liu said: "Then I think the picture of the boat is better, the picture of the boat is more vivid and dexterous, like a person in the painting."

……

In the Begonia Palace.

Su Jingyan saw Xiao Yi approaching, and teased: "Today, all the ministers said that the picture of sailing on a boat that I drew is better than your picture of holding a lotus. If you lose, you have to promise me one thing."

Xiao Yi said: "Even if you don't lose, if you want me to promise you one thing, just say it."

Su Jingyan smiled and said, "I haven't thought it through yet, I'll ask you to promise me something later when I think it over."

Sitting next to Su Jingyan, Xiao Yi said, "I'm not considered a loser today, it's just that those courtiers misunderstood that the picture of the boat tour was drawn by me, so they just flattered me. In terms of paintings, I'm still superior to you."

Su Jing said: "Oh, you are making an excuse."

Yingchun came to ask He Zhimin to see him, Su Jingyan let He Zhimin in, and said without waiting for He Zhimin to salute: "Zhimin, your painting skills are also very good, come and see, which of these two paintings is better?"

After hearing what the maid said, He Zhimin thought that Su Jingyan would be annoyed, so she repeatedly came here to apologize, but Su Jingyan was not annoyed at all, and asked her to judge the quality of the two paintings.

He Zhimin only realized why she was included in the painting when he looked at the boat tour picture. It turned out that Nian Nian was there, and this painting should not be painted by His Majesty.

He Zhimin has seen His Majesty's paintings before, and he also intended to imitate His Majesty's paintings since he was a child. Obviously, the picture of holding a lotus is His Majesty's painting.

He Zhimin said: "I think this picture of a boat tour is better, the empress drew me so beautifully."

Su Jingyan smiled and said, "I also think this picture of a boat tour is better."

Xiao Yi was very depressed, he couldn't help but wonder if it was true that his painting skills were not as good as Su Jingyan's?Forget it, if you are not as good as her, then you are not as good as her!
This time, Xiao Niannian gave Xiao Yi a lot of face, and he liked Xiao Yi's paintings very much, which gave Xiao Yi a lot of comfort.

……

Among the Su family.

When Mrs. Su heard about the painting review in the court hall, she couldn't help being annoyed and said, "How can Your Majesty draw He Zhimin's picture?"

Su Zheng said: "Mother, what His Majesty drew is the picture of holding a lotus, and the picture that He Zhimin drew was drawn by my younger sister. Your Majesty's painting skills are far superior to my younger sister."

Xie Yiyi asked from the side: "Then why do you still think it's a boat tour?"

Su Zheng said: "Your Majesty is young and wants to compete in painting skills, but he doesn't know that he will lose if he wins the competition. My little sister hates losing the most."

Xie Yiyi smiled and said: "That's right, Ah Yan was competitive when he was young, if he loses this time, he will focus on painting in the future, the little emperor will still be younger after all."

Mrs. Su sighed and said, "Your Majesty is young, every year is more than one year old, what about Liuer? Let alone a child, even the marriage is undecided.

Now that the marriage between Mu'er and Zhan'er has been settled, as Liu'er is the eldest grandson, his marriage should also be settled.

Although Mu'er and Zhan'er were not in a hurry, the girls from the Mao family and the Yun family were not too young, so they were in a hurry! "

Xie Yiyi said: "Mother, in half a year or so, Liu'er will be weak. I thought, what if I wait until he reaches the crown before talking about the marriage?"

Mrs. Su said: "The marriage should not be delayed any longer, your father and I are both getting older, and now His Majesty has been in charge for two years, the regent has been removed, and your father also wants to leave the court as soon as possible.

So we also look forward to being able to live in the same family for four generations, and have great-grandchildren with love. "

It is a family blessing for four generations to live under the same roof, but Su Liu... Xie Yiyi looked at Su Zheng helplessly.

Su Zheng said: "Mother, I hit and scolded, and Liu'er focused on He Lianqiao, and my father didn't allow Liu'er to marry He Lianqiao, this..."

Xie Yiyi also said: "Yes, mother, if we insist on going our own way and arrange the marriage for Liu'er, wouldn't it be unfair to that girl?"

Mrs. Su sighed: "Liu'er is always a well-behaved child, why is he so obsessed with this matter? Sigh."

Xie Yiyi also sighed, "Mother, since Liu'er likes it, why don't you talk to your father about the marriage between Liu'er and He Lianqiao, so that you can be a great-grandmother as soon as possible!"

Mrs. Su sighed helplessly: "Your father will not agree to anything about this matter!"

In the Hu family, after Hu Wei returned from the yamen, he was called into the study by Mrs. Hu.

Grand Tutor Hu said: "Wei'er, your grandfather shouldn't have told you about your marriage, but I heard that your mother and your grandmother introduced several women to you, and you didn't like them, but you still miss the empress?"

Hu Wei was frightened into a cold sweat, for fear of being overheard by His Majesty's hidden guards.
