How did the Emperor think of coming here? Even though Consort De had indeed said that she would hold a banquet here, the Emperor had never said that he was coming too.
This wasn’t anything. The most important thing was that the Emperor himself had come. He had brought quite a few ministers and princes along.
As expected, the Emperor arrived. All the girls hurriedly put down their pen and went over to invite the Emperor. The Emperor stood there and chuckled, “All of you, please excuse yourself. Today is a good day. Everyone, please be casual. I heard that Consort De said that the girls are going to draw and write poetry. Young Master is here to join in the fun.”
Consort De smiled and said, “Your Highness is great. I think these girls will be more motivated after seeing His Highness, right?”
The Emperor nodded. After she sat down, the ministers walked to the tables. At this moment, she had drawn quite a few words. She didn’t want to play games, but she had no choice but to draw such things. When she was free, she would also use it to practice.
Liang He had obviously finished handling the matter, so he walked behind Yan Ling and looked down. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he whispered into Yan Ling’s ear, “Did you really do this?”
Yan Ling was completely focused on her, but the heat in her ear made her whole body tighten. She was startled and turned her head to ask with a smile, “What’s wrong?” Can’t I draw such a painting? Or in your eyes, I’m too stupid?
Liang He narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Lingyi’s angry expression. He said, “Of course, I didn’t mean that. I’m just praising you.”
At this moment, most of the girls had finished their drawings. Because the Emperor had come, the works that he had given to Consort De were now given to the Emperor.
The Emperor sat there drinking tea and looked at it leisurely one by one. Some of them wrote poetry, but most of them chose to paint. Because there were not many things to express, poetry was different. There were too many things to write, and if one wasn’t careful, the Emperor would think that this girl’s temperament was too small or not too high.
Several ministers stood beside the Emperor and they all came over to look at them one by one, but they all shook their heads.
These ministers were very talented and knowledgeable. Originally, these girls weren’t very good at this aspect. Naturally, these ministers didn’t like the things they created.
Suddenly, the emperor, who had been trying to feel sleepy, took out a painting. It was a landscape painting, which was the view of the forest at this time. The painting was painted in a large amount of pink, which made people look very bright in the past.
The reason why this painting was so eye-catching was because many girls did not draw the beauty and bustle of the forest. On the contrary, many girls were very pale in colour. Looking at the painting, they felt that it was a pity for the beautiful scenery of the forest.
The Emperor nodded and praised, “This painting is good, the color is beautiful, and it makes people feel very comfortable after reading it. The painting should be like this. What kind of scenery is, what kind of painting is.”
When the minister heard the Emperor’s words, he surrounded him and carefully looked at the painting. He also praised it, not because he wanted to cater to the Emperor, but because the painting was indeed beautiful.
However, there was a bright point in this painting that one could tell at a glance that it was drawn by a woman.
However, there was no appearing nervous in public from a woman. On the contrary, the color was very free and free.
Someone was in the limelight, while Consort De and Madam Yan rushed over and took a closer look.
Previously, Consort De had seen these girls ‘works when they were drawing.
They immediately recognized that this painting was made by Yan Ling.
Isn’t this woman very stupid? How could he draw such an exquisite and beautiful painting?
Furthermore, he could also get the praise of the Emperor. When the Emperor came over, he did not see these girls painting, and she did not know who made this painting. His appreciation of this painting could only be said that he did not want to please Yan Family.
After the Emperor took out this work for the ministers to see it, he waved the work in his hand and said to the girls, “Who made this painting?”
Yan Ling raised his eyes and saw that it was actually his own painting.
Even though she didn’t think about making the show, she was just thinking about not humiliating herself and the Yan family. She didn’t expect that she still hadn’t escaped.
She took two steps forward and knelt on the ground to say to the Emperor, “It was painted by the little girl.”
The Emperor looked up and down at Yan Ling. He had seen Yan Ling a few times and recognized that she was the eldest daughter of the Yan family.
His words slowly lifted his head. The Emperor looked at her little face and smiled, “You drew well. I can see that you are quite capable. Are you the eldest daughter of the Yan family?”
Yan Ling nodded and nodded, “The daughter that the Yan family has educated is really out of the ordinary. I heard that you still have a daughter. Is she here today?”
When Madam Yan heard this, she actually mentioned her daughter too. She quickly walked over and pulled Yan Shuang over. She knelt in front of the emperor and said, “This is our second daughter, Yan Shuang.”
Yan Shuang had no idea what had happened and she was dull. After she knelt on the ground, she lowered her head without saying a word.
Her actions made the Emperor feel very strange. He said coldly, “Is this your second daughter?” Was there something unhappy today? Why didn’t she smile at all?
Madam Yan was startled and she pinched Yan Shuang’s thigh in private. How could he not react at all?
Yan Shuang’s tears came down from the pain and she dodged a little. She raised her eyes and said to the Emperor, “There’s nothing unhappy about it. The peach blossoms are very beautiful and the pastries are delicious.”
The Emperor touched his beard and laughed loudly. “This girl is interesting. Do you have any works today when you look at this peach blossom?”
Yan Shuang’s face instantly turned pale. Even though she didn’t want to admit it, she did not do anything.
She shook her head and said, “I don’t have any works in return to the Emperor.”
The Emperor’s smile froze on his face. He put away his smile and asked coldly, “You said you don’t have any work?”
Yan Shuang nodded. At this moment, Madam Yan had buried her head to the ground. She wished she wouldn’t attend the party at all. How could Yan Shuang be so stupid? But once again, Yan Shuang really knew nothing.
