Chapter 435: 2 DEMONSTRATING EXCEPTIONAL TALEN
CHAPTER 435 (2): DEMONSTRATING EXCEPTIONAL TALENT
Grand Tutor Kong nodded and instructed Xiao Yuanzi and a guard to head to the Imperial Library right away. After all, she calls me ‘godfather’. If she can obtain the praise of the audience, it would also make me proud. He was someone who respected any talented person, regardless of their gender.
Chu Linglong picked up the winecup from his table and gently swayed it. “Writing materials? Princess Consort Hao, will you be painting or composing poems?”
Pei Qianhao coldly spoke before Su Xi-er could reply. “Crown Prince, you can patiently wait to see what she has in store. How can you be so impatient when you’re someone who’s going to become the monarch of a nation?”
Every time a new emperor was about to ascend the throne, the court would undoubtedly be thrown into turmoil. If it was handled well, the country would grow; conversely, the country would suffer if such matters were poorly taken care of.
Hearing the underlying implication in Pei Qianhao’s words, Chu Linglong inwardly snorted. He’s indeed experienced and astute, and his schemes truly run deep. Left with no response, Chu Linglong turned back to Su Xi-er. Let me see what she’s up to.
At the other side was Hua Zirong, who had stayed silent all this time. He had only focused on slowly drinking the wine in his cup, sneaking a few glances at Su Xi-er from time to time. This isn’t the first time this woman has challenged Crown Prince Chu, and she has managed to leave him speechless each time. That in of itself is a considerable ability.
Everybody’s curiosity continued to mount, and amidst their collective murmuring, the writing materials and desk finally arrived.
Su Xi-er walked forward and asked Xiao Yuanzi to help her grind the inkstick. Then, she looked towards Chu Linglong. “I will be painting tonight, but not just a painting of plants; I will be drawing a portrait. Crown Prince Chu, since you were the first to speak, I will paint you. It will take me less than 15 minutes.”
The skilled painters in the crowd knew that painting something like plants was easy, but that drawing people would be the most difficult thing. Not only must the painting display their appearance, it also had to reflect their aura. It would normally take a few hours to paint a beautiful piece of work, yet Su Xi-er had claimed that she could do it within 15 minutes!
Everyone couldn’t help but be curious about how she was going to accomplish it, with even Grand Tutor Kong being sceptical. How will she complete such a challenging task?
