A wicked mother swaps her son and sucks his blood? The true legitimate daughter is reborn and goes o

Song Qingning went out wearing a veiled hat.

Following Wan Liang's directions, we went to the residence of Minister Cui in the west of the city.

At this moment, a refined gathering was being held at the Minister's residence.

The news that Song Qingyan was Mingyue Xian spread throughout the capital, causing a sensation among the noble ladies of the capital.

Among the noble ladies, there were many refined individuals. Whether their refinement was genuine or feigned, they all flocked to Mingyue Xian. Among them, Cui Yuelan, the second daughter of Minister Cui, was the most enthusiastic.

In the past few days, invitations from noble ladies to invite Song Qingyan have piled up in her room.

Invite her to a small gathering and treat her to tea.

Song Qingyan ignored them all.

If she holds a bag, people will say she's unassuming and unconventional, and her reputation will be even better.

You can't keep playing dumb.

Among those posts, Song Qingyan chose a lucky one: the elegant gathering at the West Garden hosted by Miss Cui. Because the gathering was large enough, it invited prominent ladies from the capital, allowing her to steal the spotlight.

When she went to see Prince Rui at the Duke of Shen's residence, she told him about the matter in his bedside.

Prince Rui agreed to her accepting Miss Cui's invitation.

Minister Cui was an upright and incorruptible man, not lustful, not greedy, but he was obsessed with painting.

To win him over, the painting is the breakthrough point, and Mingyue Xian is the key.

Song Qingyan knew Prince Rui's intentions, but she didn't care about being used. The more useful she was, the more important she would be in Prince Rui's eyes.

This is her strength.

Many noble ladies attended the gathering.

Song Qingyan arrived late, dressed in white, simple and elegant, with the air of a refined scholar.

Upon his arrival, he was immediately surrounded by noble ladies.

Song Qingyan had never enjoyed such adulation before. Even noble ladies like Shen Wan'er, Miss Xue, and Princess Rou'an were now relegated to supporting roles, far less glamorous than her.

Mingyue Xian's identity is really great!

It's hers!

From afar, Song Qingning saw Song Qingyan being fawned over by everyone and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying herself.

The Prince of Huai's mention of watching a play was related to Song Qingyan.

"Miss, my master is waiting for you in the attic," a servant of the Cui family reminded Song Qingning.

Song Qingning withdrew her gaze and followed the servant who was leading the way to the Cui family's library.

The library was located in the very center of the Cui residence, surrounded by gardens.

The gathering is being held in this garden.

When Song Qingning entered the library, the noble ladies at the gathering were painting.

The voices of noble ladies could be faintly heard:

"Master Mingyue, what do you think of my drawing?"

"Master Mingyue, please take a look at my painting and offer your guidance."

Like Song Mingtang, Song Qingyan didn't understand painting.

In his previous life, after Song Mingtang obtained the identity of Mingyue Xian, he flaunted it everywhere. Every time he was invited to give guidance, he would just smile and shake his head without saying a word.

This initially caused some people to feel indignant.

But every time Song Mingtang brought out his new paintings, the others were convinced and even felt that Song Mingtang didn't comment on them because he couldn't bear to discourage them.

It is a kind heart.

Song Qingning was curious about how Song Qingyan would handle the same situation.

Song Qingning turned around and saw Song Qingyan glance at the noblewoman's painting, then shake her head without saying a word.

Same approach, no wonder they're siblings!

A hint of mockery flashed in Song Qingning's eyes.

The complaints and grievances of the noble ladies came from neither near nor far.

But in this life, Song Qingyan has no new paintings to produce!

Song Qingning entered the library, and Minister Cui's voice came from upstairs:

"Mingyue Xian's landscapes are grand and majestic; only someone with a heart for the common people and a strong sense of righteousness could express such grandeur in their paintings. As for that Miss Song..."

Minister Cui frowned and looked out the window, stopping his words.

Just then, the servant led the guest upstairs.

Xie Xuanjin looked up and saw Song Qingning. "You've arrived?"

Song Qingning stepped inside the curtain and bowed.

She was wearing a veiled hat, and Xie Xuanjin gestured for her to sit next to him, a spot from which she could take in the entire gathering outside the pavilion.

Xie Xuanjin poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.

Minister Cui could not hide his surprise, "Who is this...?"

Song Qingning was a man of the Prince of Huai, but she was unaware of the relationship between Minister Cui and the Prince of Huai. She looked at Xie Xuanjin, waiting for the Prince of Huai to decide how to introduce her.

But then Xie Xuanjin said, "Bright Moon Immortal!"

Both Song Qingning and Minister Cui were stunned by the three words.

The Prince of Huai was intelligent. Although Song Qingning did not tell him that Mingyue Xian's painting was done by her, Xie Xuanjin should have already guessed it when she mentioned that plan.

Even if you guess it, it's still a secret.

Keep it a secret, at least until the plan is complete.

His openness and honesty with Minister Cui shows that he trusts him very much.

After being stunned, Minister Cui looked incredulously at the woman wearing a veiled hat beside Prince Huai, and then at "Mingyue Xian" who was surrounded by noble ladies at the elegant gathering outside the window.

"Mingyue Xian, she is also Mingyue Xian."

If they are both Mingyue Xian, then one of them must be fake.

Xie Xuanjin took a sip of tea with a half-smile. "Minister Cui, who do you think is the true Immortal of the Bright Moon?"

Minister Cui frowned, looked out the window, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"No wonder!"

"The eldest daughter of the Song family is too vulgar and has no interest in painting. She can't paint Mingyuexian's paintings. I had my suspicions at the Yongning Marquis's birthday banquet that day, but the seal on her hand is indeed Mingyuexian's seal."

"I don't know if others are really like that, but Song Qingyan is not."

"That seal..."

The only thing Minister Cui couldn't understand was the seal.

Minister Cui put aside his doubts for the moment and looked at the woman in front of him. She was wearing a veil, so his face could not be seen. The Prince of Huai said that she was Mingyue Xian, but he was skeptical.

"May I ask you to paint for me, young lady?"

Song Qingning did not refuse.

Minister Cui was also fond of painting, and his pavilion was fully equipped with painting tools.

Song Qingning got up and went to her desk. Minister Cui followed her and watched her wield her brush on the paper. With just a few strokes, before the painting was even finished, Minister Cui could not hide his excitement.

"It's Mingyue Xian, it's definitely Mingyue Xian!" Minister Cui murmured, then hurriedly said, "Miss, my questioning just now was truly rude, please don't be angry."

"I'm not stingy," Song Qingning said.

When she spoke, Minister Cui was taken aback again.

He recognized that voice.

Although he was an office worker, he had dealt with Song Qingning several times.

"you……"

Song Qingning put down her paintbrush, curtsied gracefully, and said, "Qingning greets Minister Cui."

Song Qingning!

She really is Song Qingning!

Song Qingning is Mingyue Xian, which explains why Song Qingyan has a seal.

Song Mingtang also brought out that seal at the poetry appreciation gathering.

It's the same one.

In an instant, Minister Cui guessed the general idea.

Both Song Mingtang and Song Qingyan wanted to seize Song Qingning's paintings in pursuit of fame and fortune.

"It's outrageous! We can't let them succeed!" After saying this, Minister Cui thought of the day Song Qingning was bitten on the hand by a snake, which was said to have crippled her.

But she can clearly paint, so it doesn't affect her at all.

In an instant, Minister Cui understood everything.

He looked at Song Qingning, then at the Prince of Huai, and said excitedly, "Your Highness, is there anything you need me to do? I will do my best."

Smart people are easy to get along with.

"I do have something to trouble Minister Cui with."

Xie Xuanjin and Minister Cui discussed serious matters.

Song Qingning returned to her previous spot when suddenly there was a commotion outside the window.

Upon hearing the sound, Song Qingning looked over and saw a woman pulling Song Qingyan's hair, the two of them wrestling together.

The woman grabbed and screamed, "Mingyue Xian? What Mingyue Xian? All I know is that she's a lowly maid who seduced Prince Rui!"

Song Qingning's eyes lit up.

Wow, this is going to be interesting!
