Breaking through and being bent

Chapter 17 Winning the Drawing Contest

In the morning, I urged Xiaoqing to clean up for me, I want to bring some of my best looks to Qianrou, "Xiaoqing, hurry up, make me more handsome than yesterday." I said narcissistically.

"Father, why are you not ready yet?" I looked at Father Gu and saw that he was not in a hurry.

"Well~, didn't you want to go yesterday? I saw that you lost the violin competition very quickly yesterday, and the latter two are probably useless. It doesn't matter whether you go or not. You can't be selected anyway. I don't expect you to either." If you are chosen, I will wait until the princess son-in-law is chosen, then I will marry you a lady from a great family and give birth to a grandson for me. This is a beautiful day." Father Gu said open-mindedly.

"Ah, no, I must win, Dad, I want to marry the princess and become a son-in-law." I said firmly to Old Gu.

"I know you are comforting me. I know you are filial. It doesn't matter if you marry a princess or not, but the most important thing is to have grandchildren." Old man Gu stroked his beard, looking like a kind old man.

"Forget it, I can't tell you clearly. I went to the palace to choose a son-in-law. You should miss your little grandson at home." After I finished speaking these words in a hurry, I hurried to the gate of the mansion to sit in the morning chair. The carriage waiting outside, "Hurry up, go to the palace."

"Okay, young master, it's time to be steady." After finishing speaking, the groom drove his horse to the palace.

When I arrived at the palace, I saw many people were already there, so I hurriedly calmed down, calm down, I must not panic.Hey, isn't there the second son of the prime minister's family who won the Qin competition yesterday? No, he is my strong enemy.Must win today.

Today the emperor and queen are not here, but the prince and princess are here. I looked at the princess and saw that she was still wearing a veil like yesterday. Well, I nodded. I am very satisfied. I know that the appearance is not for everyone. All just for me to see.I laughed like a thief.She also saw me. Although she didn't see her face, she saw her smiling eyes and knew that she was very happy.Alright, just wait and see my performance.

"Today for the painting competition, I took a stick of incense to draw the imperial girl standing next to Gu. After the painting is finished, it will be handed over to Xu Wei, the first painter of the palace, for judgment. Let's start now." As soon as the prince finished speaking, those candidates immediately sat down to prepare for the competition. Good seats start to paint up.I also came prepared, I know that I can’t do ancient painting, but fortunately I was interested in sketching before, so I’ll do sketching, but time is too tight and I can’t prepare pencils.I had no choice but to go to the kitchen to choose a piece of coal suitable for sketching before going out this morning, hoping not to lose the chain halfway.

I took coal and drew on the paper and attracted everyone's attention. The prince and princess were also very curious and kept looking at me. The people next to the painting also saw it, with a sneer on their faces. I guess they thought they knew If you lose, use coal to attract attention.

I didn't have time to leave them. I finished my painting seriously, and the time was up. After a while, a eunuch came and took the painting away.

We are anxiously awaiting the result.After a while, the prince and princess came out together with the painter Xu Wei, announcing that the second son of the prime minister's family and I were tied for first place.After I was happy, I was worried, he had won two games, I only won one, I must win tomorrow's contest, otherwise, the princess will have to marry him.If I can win tomorrow, we will both win two games. In that case, you can choose from me and him. I am sure that the princess will definitely choose me. Tomorrow is the most important thing.

When I was thinking about this, I heard many people dissatisfied that my painting could win.

"He drew it with coal, how could he win?" Young Master A said.

"That's right, that's right, if we don't make it clear, we won't accept it." Young Master B said.

"No matter what, show us what he drew, or you won't accept it." Young Master B said.

"Okay, okay, let me show you." The prince said.As he spoke, he took out the painting for everyone to see.

The painting has smooth lines, rich line changes, fast and slow brush strokes, clear relationship between light and dark, beautiful shapes and clear space layers. It is really a good painting.Seeing this, they have nothing to say.

"Yes, originally this painting was not popular enough, but because Mr. Gu created his own school, it was tied for first place." Painter Xu Wei explained.

"Then is there any objection now?" the prince asked.

"It's gone..." a group of people shyly said.

After finishing speaking, the prince and all the people left, and we also left one after another.Suddenly Li Jinhong patted me on the shoulder, "You are really good, why didn't you see it before." He smiled evilly.

My face turned black, this bastard, it was he who sued my father, saying that I was a broken sleeve, "Who are you, I don't know you." After I finished speaking, I ran away in a hurry. I have to rush home to see if there is any way to make me a master of martial arts overnight, so that I can win tomorrow's competition.

I walked with my head down, the little palace lady came to look for me again yesterday. "Young Master Gu, the princess is here to invite you." I followed her to the Huxin Pavilion where I arrived yesterday.I saw that the princess was already waiting there.

"Qianrou, I'm here." I only paid attention to her, but I didn't see when the little maid left.

"Think clearly today, do you still like me?" Qianrou asked with a smile.

"Yes, my coming today is the best proof that I like you, before, now, and in the future." I said firmly.

"Well, then I accept your liking." She said with a slightly red face.

I heard her respond to my confession, I took her hand excitedly, and said happily, "That's great." We stood still in the pavilion and smiled at each other.

"By the way, I won today, but what should I do tomorrow? I don't know martial arts, and the Second Young Master has already won two games. What should I do?" I said anxiously.

"Don't worry, I didn't even expect you to win today. I planned to open the back door for you, but I didn't expect that you wouldn't need it. You are really good." She also tapped my nose with her index finger.I smiled silly, so happy.

"Tomorrow I will secretly help you, you just have to act."

I was very happy and hugged her excitedly, "I will definitely work hard tomorrow."
