Chapter 123: Exhibition portrait, Chaoyang was actually played by Zhaoning
As soon as Princess Chaoyang entered Wangxiang Tower, everyone in the room stood up in surprise.
Li Xiaolin, the Sixth Prince and others were completely surprised. Song Ci was also surprised but also liked it. After all, he hadn't seen Princess Chaoyang for a long time.
Qin Shaobai was more worried.
He had heard Xiaolan say more than once that Princess Chaoyang had sworn a vicious oath that she would never step foot into Wangxiang Tower again unless...
Does that mean that something is about to happen that will allow Princess Chaoyang to step into Wangxiang Tower?
Qin Shaobai's eyes quickly glanced at Jin Zhaoning.
Jin Zhaoning has already made some slight modifications according to his instructions.
There is a rosette on her forehead and a small mole on the corner of her mouth.
Qin Shaobai did this just in case.
If anyone knows what Princess Jinhua looks like, at least they won't be so quick to associate Princess Jinhua with Jin Zhaoning.
Jin Zhaoning saw that everyone suddenly became quiet, and like everyone else, he quietly looked at Princess Chaoyang who was getting closer and closer, with an imperceptible smile in the corner of her eyes.
Princess Chaoyang was also smiling, smiling very easily, as if she was really here to attend the Lantern Festival banquet.
Qin Shaobai didn't pay attention to Princess Chaoyang's smile. His eyes fell on Xiaolan behind Princess Chaoyang.
He was a little confused as to why Princess Chaoyang wanted to drag Xiaolan along when she came to Wangxianglou this time. Is there anything Xiaolan had to do?
But the problem is that this Xiaolan should not be considered a member of Yuanlou anymore, and Princess Chaoyang will not have no one around her, so she just picks up the girl she sent away.
Unless, there are some things that Xiaolan must do.
Walking past Qin Shaobai, Xiaolan actually smiled, and secretly gave Qin Shaobai a gesture to calm down.
That smile was like sunshine after a rainstorm, which made Qin Shaobai's heart suddenly feel at peace.
"Mr. Li, General Bi, Chaoyang pays homage to the two elderly people. Chaoyang wishes the two elderly people New Year's greetings."
After saying that, Princess Chaoyang bowed slightly.
Which of the two veterans liked the princess's gift the most, so they quickly returned the gift.
"Xiaolan, please give me the gift list I gave to the two old gentlemen, and ask the two old gentlemen to go back to your house and check whether those girls missed any gifts."
When the two old gentlemen heard this, they immediately understood that Princess Chaoyang was asking them to leave immediately.
The two old gentlemen glanced at Qin Shaobai, then at Jin Zhaoning, and left the table with fists clasped.
Princess Chaoyang's eyes fell on the Sixth Prince again. The Sixth Prince simply said directly that his favorite concubine had prepared Yuanxiao tonight. If he didn't go back, he would be severely punished.
.
Soon, there were only five people left in the room.
Princess Chaoyang waved her hand, and Xiaolan said yes and stepped back.
The three people present looked at Princess Chaoyang with bright eyes, expecting her to open the lid of the gourd and pour out the contents.
Whether it's a beautiful liquid or a poisonous insect, you always have to meet people.
"Girl Jin, now you can tell the truth!"
Princess Chaoyang sat down and stared at Jin Zhaoning like a sword, but there was still a disdainful smile in the corner of her mouth.
"I think you should be the owner of Yuanlou, the famous Princess Chaoyang."
Jin Zhaoning also slowly sat opposite Princess Chaoyang.
There was no trace of panic on her face, and even her elegant smile made her look more dignified and charming.
"Yes, you dare to be on an equal footing with me, which means you think your status is the same as mine. In this way, you are her."
Princess Chaoyang clapped her hand, and Xiaolan hurried in and handed a portrait to Princess Chaoyang.
Song Ci and Qin Shaobai looked at each other.
Song Ci once told Qin Shaobai that the imperial court asked painters to draw portraits of all the current members of the Jin Kingdom's royal family and passed them on to officials of the Song Dynasty because they were worried that members of the Jin Kingdom's royal family would come to the Song Dynasty and cause trouble.
No, waiting for an opportunity to do something detrimental to the Song Dynasty.
Song Ci also comforted Qin Shaobai, saying that the portrait of Princess Golden Flower was not included in the scope.
Qin Shaobai's eyes widened as he watched Princess Chaoyang unfold the portrait bit by bit.
First came the green embroidered shoes, then the snow-white skirt, and then the pink bra.
Qin Shaobai resisted his inner impulse and did not look at Jin Zhaoning.
He knew very well that this outfit was Jin Zhaoning's favorite outfit.
Princess Chaoyang suddenly stopped her hand, raised her head, and looked at Jin Zhaoning provocatively: "Don't you want to know where this portrait comes from?"
"The princess was joking. How did Zhao Ning know where the portrait in the princess's hand came from?"
Jin Zhaoning chuckled, his expression very natural, and even glanced at Qin Shaobai, his eyes were as calm as a child's.
Turning his eyes, Jin Zhaoning said again,
"Zhao Ning is just curious as to why the princess suddenly stopped. Zhao Ning and Mr. Qin and Mr. Song should both want to know who the princess wants us to know."
As he said that, Jin Zhaoning suddenly looked at Song Ci, and then smiled so hard that the flowers trembled: "Master Song, the princess asked you to stay, I believe this portrait must be related to you. Princess, could it be to introduce you to a good marriage?"
Song Ci was like an innocent passer-by who was suddenly pulled into the water, making her whole body wet, but she couldn't get angry yet and could only laugh a few times.
"Zhao Ning, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Song has someone he loves in his heart."
Qin Shaobai thought that now was a good time to ease the atmosphere. Maybe when Princess Chaoyang thought of Song Ci and this festive night, she couldn't bear to do something that would ruin the scenery.
Song Ci said nothing, but looked at Qin Shaobai meaningfully.
With that look in his eyes, Qin Shaobai understood that he didn't think Qin Shaobai's actions or words meant anything.
Sure enough, Princess Chaoyang continued to stare at Jin Zhaoning quietly as if she had not heard Qin Shaobai's words.
After a while, Princess Chaoyang suddenly laughed, and the laughter did not sound so pleasant.
"Hehe, hehe, I didn't expect that Princess Jinhua would be so open-minded, and she could still tell such a joke in this situation."
Princess Chaoyang stood up: "This portrait was sent to me by the new emperor of your country, Wanyan Yongji. He said that as long as I take the life of the person in the painting, he is willing to offer a large gold treasure and a jade to it."
I."
Everyone was shocked.
Qin Shaobai has already reached Jin Zhaoning's side.
Mo Qing, who had been guarding the door, also flew in, already holding the soft sword in his hand.
"Brother Qin, Brother Mo, what are you doing?" Jin Zhaoning asked coldly, "The princess is talking about taking the life of the person in the painting. Is it possible? Do you think the person in the painting is me, Zhaoning?"
After saying that, Jin Zhaoning stood up, bowed slightly to Princess Chaoyang and said, "Princess, please unfold the portrait so that we can have a look at the appearance of the person in the painting.
Princess Chaoyang didn't seem to expect that Jin Chaoning would react like this. She hesitated for a moment, but then quickly smiled and said: "Okay, since Miss Jin really wants to see the person in the painting, Chaoyang has no choice but to make it happen."
As she spoke, Princess Chaoyang raised her hand, and the scroll was displayed in front of everyone.
Qin Shaobai simply turned around and wanted to drag Song Ci to go to the window to get some fresh air.
Song Ci had already thrown away his hand, and then exclaimed: "It turns out that the Golden Flower Princess of the Great Jin Kingdom looks like this. This, this is too much."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shaobai felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
He turned around quickly and ran back to the portrait.
A smile immediately came over him, and his heart was so happy that he almost sang.
Although the woman in the painting is elegantly decorated and her face is somewhat similar to Jin Zhaoning, her eyes are incomparable to Jin Zhaoning's.
They were a pair of almost dull eyes, coupled with a less obvious red mark at the corner of the eye, which distorted the originally straight facial features and gave him an even more silly look.
"Princess Chaoyang, she was raised by the mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty. Look, you and the Golden Flower Princess in this painting are both princesses. Your unparalleled beauty is so beautiful, and her stupid and ugly face,
It’s really a heaven and an earth.”
Jin Zhaoning smiled and actually reached out to touch Princess Chaoyang's face.
Princess Chaoyang was immersed in that shock and was completely defenseless.
Xiaolan yelled angrily, grabbed a piece of pastry on the table, and threw it towards Jin Chaoning's hand.
The red bean cake turned into a bright red line and shot straight through.
Qin Shaobai hurriedly pulled Jin Chaoning over and protected her behind him.
"Xiaolan." Princess Chaoyang shouted angrily. "Why is this portrait..."
Before she finished speaking, she stopped and laughed.
Everyone was a little confused by her laughter, but they saw Princess Chaoyang walking towards Jin Zhaoning and whispering in her ear.
As if she thought of something, Princess Chaoyang turned around and said to Qin Shaobai: "Master Qin, Yuanlou has some important things recently, and I need Xiaolan to help me, so I will borrow Xiaolan from you first.
ah."
Qin Shaobai was anxious and was about to catch up, but was gently held by Jin Zhaoning.
Qin Shaobai turned around and saw that Jin Zhaoning's face was covered with sweat, and her thin body was trembling.
