Farming and raising cubs: the vicious female supporting role is fought over by the whole family to b

What mother would be happy if her son was so openly disliked?

So, Li Zhiyin observed the iris carefully before starting to paint.

Li Mumu was very glad that she was married and didn't have to take the exam.

It is really not easy to be a noble lady in ancient times. No matter how big or small the banquet is, it is not easy. She even has to take a painting test when she comes to attend a flower viewing banquet.

Now she can barely write well enough to read, but she can't really draw well.

Now I am drinking tea and eating fruits, looking relaxed at the lady opposite who is painting seriously.

If anyone does not paint well, his family will be disgraced.

The rule is to complete it within one stick of incense.

As the incense burned closer, several ladies put down their pens in annoyance.

They didn't finish the painting.

Li Mumu looked at Li Zhiyin again, who looked calm.

Li Mumu was very curious about what Li Zhiyin's paintings looked like.

The palace officials took the painting away and circulated it to the queen, concubine Shu and others.

The queen looked at it with a smile, and after reading it, she passed it on to Concubine Shu and others.

After that, it was handed over to the palace staff to send to the Sutra Viewing Tower.

The palace servants handed the paintings to the three princes. The eldest prince looked at the paintings with some boredom and said, "Let's just watch them enjoy the flowers here. Why go to such trouble and have someone else paint them."

"Otherwise, how can we tell their talents?" The third prince now knew that the eldest prince still loved the prince, and his attitude towards the eldest prince became closer. "You can't just look at their faces."

The eldest prince smiled and said: "These noble girls have been raised by their families since childhood, and no matter how talented they are, they can't be judged to be much different. So, you, eldest brother, and I, really look at their appearance first."

The third prince: "..."

Brother, you are so honest.

The eldest prince joked and said with a smile: "Don't you care about your face?"

The third prince touched his face and said: "Just about the same appearance, no need to be very beautiful. The main thing is that you don't dislike me for not being enterprising, and you are willing to live a leisurely life with me."

The eldest prince nodded, this was really something the third prince could say.

He asked the prince again, "What about you? You are the protagonist today."

"Choose someone you can talk to." The prince picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. "Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to sit together and stare at each other all day long."

The eldest prince looked at these paintings and said, "What do you think if we each choose different paintings, how will we judge them in the end?"

The prince smiled and said, "You are trying to embarrass your mother."

"I'm just curious." The eldest prince took out a painting and said, "I think this painting is quite good. It's lively and interesting. The leaves quivered when I looked at it."

"I will choose this one," the eldest prince said.

The third prince also took out one, "I like this one. It's simple and clear. I feel like I don't want to paint one more stroke. But it's very restored, even the colors are restored."

The prince took out another one and said, "I like this one. A flower growing on the vast grass is not as delicate as the one in this flower pot or in this garden. It is obvious that wealth is compelling, but even if it is replaced by a bad one, The environment allows us to still strive to grow with pride.”

"It's true that there are three of us, each of us has chosen something different." The eldest prince said, "I didn't mean to embarrass my mother."

The three people drew a mark on each of the three paintings to represent themselves and handed them to the palace officials.

"Then let the queen decide." The prince said with a smile.

The palace man handed the three paintings selected by the three princes to the queen. The queen saw them, shook her head and smiled.

"It was because of my inconsideration that the three of them chose three different paintings." The Queen explained. When she saw the painting chosen by the prince, she smiled and said, "This painting belongs to Li Zhiyin."

Li Zhiyin stood up and saluted.

"As expected of General Li's granddaughter." The queen said with satisfaction, "This painting has a majestic conception and a broad mind."

"It would be a bad idea to give you this flower." The queen said softly, "If you don't mind, I will ask the gardener to cut the flower branches for you. How about you go back and cultivate it yourself?"

"Thank you, Queen."

The queen then gave each of the remaining two ladies a pot of iris.

One pot was just taken out for everyone to see, and another pot was brought out.

Miss Wen was surprised that her painting was not selected.

Why is it?

What was wrong with her painting?

At this time, the palace servants served new snacks.

The pastry is exquisitely made, you can pinch it and put it to the tip of your nose to smell it, and it has a faint floral fragrance.

"This is a flower-flavored cake from the new research office of the confectionery chef in the palace's small kitchen. It pickled flower petals and made them with the juice crushed from fresh flower petals." The queen explained with a smile.

"No wonder there is a faint floral fragrance, which is very pleasant." Mrs. Wen laughed and joked.

Miss Wen turned her eyes and said, "I heard that Miss Li, Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Shang jointly opened Wangyou Xiaojie. The snacks in it are also excellent. They are exquisite in appearance and rare. Even the taste is praised by people. of."

"Miss Li, I wonder how you think Wangyou's snacks compare to this?" Miss Wen asked.

Li Mumu frowned. Miss Wen looked like a gentle, elegant and quiet person, but she didn't expect that she was so competitive and could not help herself.

On this occasion, he suddenly got into trouble.

Probably because none of the three paintings were of hers.

However, if you are not convinced, you can go to the three princes, why bother looking at Li Zhiyin to embarrass you.

Moreover, she did not cause any trouble for the other two.

Li Mumu guessed that it was because the Queen specifically called Li Zhiyin just now.

For the other two noble ladies, the queen did not call them to speak, but just admired the flowers.

The queen specifically spoke to Li Zhiyin, and Li Zhiyin's painting was most likely chosen by the prince.

It seems that Miss Wen really wants the position of Crown Princess.

Li Zhiyin slowly took a bite of the flower-flavored pancake and said, "The snacks that we forget to take a break are just folk things that ordinary people can eat as long as they spend money."

"But the snacks in the palace are things that ordinary people can't eat, so how can they compare?" Li Zhiyin said lightly, "It doesn't matter how it tastes. Taste is a personal thing. Some people like this, others like that. I can’t tell you what kind of food it is. As far as rarity is concerned, the snacks in the palace are better.”

Miss Wen opened her mouth and was about to say something, but when she saw Mrs. Wen's glare, she could only swallow back the words she was about to say.

Mrs. Wen was furious. This daughter had been praised by her family since she was a child.

She was praised for her outstanding talents and was regarded as the most noble girl in the capital.

Wen Ruoying was dazzled by these compliments and really felt that she was the best in Beijing.

This time he was slightly outclassed, so he became unhappy and went so far as to cause trouble for Li Zhiyin on the spot.

But she didn't know if she thought about it, who was not smarter than her?

Especially the queen and empresses in the palace, they are all the best among men, how could they not know Wen Ruoying's purpose.
