Everyone became a spectator and commented in their minds. Perhaps the Empress showed support through her actions. However, he actually took out two girls at once. Isn't that too greedy and excessive?
Helan Qianyu and Young Miss Hai smiled in embarrassment by hiding the pride buried deep in heart. Their pretty faces were flushed red like flames in the seductive lantern.
"Jiejie has always had a keen judgment. I'm always amazed." Shang Shufei smiled faintly and said half-honestly.
Wei Guifei who was next to her laughed coldly back and spoke up, "Yes. Jiejie couldn't waste a talent on our sons, right." He always said with deep meaning.
The empress chuckled blandly and glanced coldly: "Both meimei know me very well. You don't have to worry."
Everyone was focused on the interaction of the ruling family of the country up front. But at one of the tables there was a fierce feud about food. Seen Su Yiyang growling in silence. He was just staring straight ahead but his eyes glared spookily when he saw a slender hand that casually plucked part of his food on the table.
"Qixuan, your peaches have been eaten." Su Yiyang's lips moved letting out a whisper.
"It's sweet, right?" Xiu Qixuan replied casually while focusing on pinching the sweet sour fish meat with chopsticks.
"No. Acid and hard. Just like you!" Su Yiyang snorted vilely. "Don't take my share, fool!" Added. He smacked Xiu Qixuan's hand slowly.
Xiu Qixuan turned her head and chuckled. His eyes flickered with a sense of humor looking at Su Yiyang's posture which looked like a statue. Su Yiyang sat upright and stiff with his head straight facing forward, even when talking, the girl did not turn her head and would constantly be in such a position because the supervision of Minister Su's sharp eyes was so strict for her.
"Oiyy, Qixuan." Su Yiyang suddenly made a sound back, calling out to him.
"Why?" Xiu Qixuan responded indifferently.
"Hurry, quick look at that!" Su Yiyang's orders half-cried.
"Tck, what?" Xiu Qixuan clucked lazily.
"Tch, stupid!" Su Yiyang quickly retorted grievously. Then his fingers raised pierced roughly at Xiu Qixuan's cheeks to direct the girl's vision in one direction. "Look over there.., your embarrassing messy painting is." Chirps Su Yiyang insulted with a cynical smile.
Xiu Qixuan who had just swallowed all the food in her mouth immediately hiccuped when her eyes landed on the two abstract paintings that were being displayed openly and similarly in front of her. "Ugh.., Oh Goddess!" He muttered to himself as he momentarily patted his chest softly. In a hurry he drank tea water to eliminate hiccups due to being too surprised.
"It seems like Shen Country has this girl as a blessing from the sky because of her talent that rivals great scholars." The empress said with a face full of calm light. "He made the same painting as Master Ji Gui. It was full of color explosions. Like a surprising twin duplicate." Add the Empress with bias and gentle.
Pay attention to these details, although similar but in one painting there is a piece of sharp and smooth calligraphy that reads 'Seeing other colors without fixating on one color. Innocent and cheerful.'
Xiu Qixuan was very familiar with the handwriting of a Mo Ji Gui. Y'all remember? It was the first abstract painting he made when he learned to paint with Mo Ji Gui. At that time he was too lazy to hold a brush. What was surprising was that Mo Ji Gui was storing it like a memorial, and secretly adding his calligraphy there. Really, how can painting results because lazy even in displayed with adored so?
"Fufu.., So like that, I feel betrayed." Xiu Qixuan wanted to laugh out loud but she only let out a frustrated ruckus. His eyes looked in horror at the two abstract paintings ahead.
Quickly, Xiu Qixuan's messy painting was not in the odd and one-eyed glance of some educated people. Mo Ji Gui was secretly publishing the new theories and knowledge he had always gained from it.
It's like he's set up as a future imperial daughter-in-law without having to fight again, right. And just as the Empress was making a hole for Xiu Qixuan to indulge her desire to display her best later.

The final judgment was designed with the aim of winning the Emperor's heart. Girls have the right to choose one area of talent that they most upload. Whether it's music, dancing, poetry, playing chess, or presenting their handicrafts.
At this moment, the stage of the show was like a battlefield. Everyone watched the water change of the Emperor's face even for the slightest thing as a cough, they would hold their breaths tensely.
The sound of the drum beating makes the dance music like the roar of fire. The graceful figure danced like a spring that had wings. Vigorous dance, it's seductive. Making people swallow by his alluring charm.
"Look how beautiful she is to wear red. Like a beautiful and seductive red peony. It's a pity, it's wrong when he shows this kind of thing in front of the rulers." Xiu Qixuan let out a sneer with her sharp observation.
"What's wrong? It's a beautiful dance." Su Yiyang replied directly.
Xiu Qixuan only smiled faintly, looking expressionless.
"A seductive dance belongs only to a brothel." Clearly Yao Anran was gently responding to Su Yiyang.
The girl who was dancing on the stage was the daughter of a small town official, her innocent and naive attitude was not suitable to live in a big city because she was easily fooled by people.
Xiu Qixuan could guess that someone suggested she dance - do this type of dance to derail her in the final judgment.
Yeah, that's right. He ended in failure. When he finished the dance. The empress looked angry and directly ordered people to take her away.
"Miss Hai's painting is indeed famous. Smart choice to award paintings to pray for the permanence of power to the Emperor." Yao Anran commented judging in amazement when he saw the paintings of mountain landscape viewers who stood firm and also the calligraphy that appeared to be written, written,
'Pine and bamboo trees survive strong for years.'
Xiu Qixuan nodded in agreement. His focused gaze landed straight observing the change in the face of the old Emperor.
"What have you prepared, Qixuan?" Yao Anran asked curiously.
Shaking his shoulders, Xiu Qixuan replied casually. "Nothing." His word.
Yao Anran's eyes widened, he glared at Xiu Qixuan with a patient breath. "My life and Maiqiu were so unlucky that they could get to know troublemakers like you and Yiyang." His complaint.
