Su Lijin was also a lady from a prominent family. Although she had learned some talents, she was not 100% confident of winning the championship.
Especially now that she is more determined to win the championship, she has to pay more attention.
"What's the best way to draw it?"
She pondered for a moment and muttered, "I should choose a good subject."
"The Queen is in the palace today."
Suddenly, the high-pitched voice of Concubine Shu came from outside the door.
She deliberately stretched out her voice, and it was obvious that she had something else to say, deliberately mocking her for being often out of sight.
Su Lijin snorted in her heart. This person was really annoying. He came here to cause trouble.
As expected, Concubine Shu continued, "I thought I wouldn't see Your Majesty. It seems that Your Majesty is still very dutiful today."
Su Lijin looked at her sarcastically, "Shufei, you came to my bedroom and saw me, and you can't even show respect? It seems that you are not doing your duty."
These words stung Concubine Shu's face darkened, and she glared at her secretly before reluctantly bowing: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
"Hmph, now that you've paid your respects, just go back to where you came from." Su Lijin was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so she turned her head away and didn't bother to pay attention to her.
Concubine Shu received a cold look and her face turned completely dark.
She wanted to explode, but she held it back. After enduring for a long time, she suddenly laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I came to talk to you about the calligraphy and painting conference. You can't stop me from talking, right?"
Su Lijin raised her eyebrows but said nothing.
Seeing this, Concubine Shu said proudly, "Empress, have you decided what to paint for the calligraphy and painting discussion?"
"Have you thought it through?" Su Lijin looked at her lazily.
She could tell that Concubine Shu came here on purpose to show off.
As expected, when Concubine Shu saw her continue the conversation, she smiled and boasted, "To be honest, I have actually done it."
After saying this, he deliberately stared at Su Lijin, as if he could see jealousy and displeasure on her face.
The more unhappy Su Lijin was, the happier she felt.
But Su Lijin was not displeased. Instead, she raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Concubine Shu is quite quick. It seems that she is very confident this time."
Concubine Shu looked very pleased with herself, and proudly touched the hairpin on her head: "I am only responding to the emperor and wanting to make him happy."
After saying this, she gave Su Lijin a pointed look and smiled arrogantly, "When the time comes, I'll ask for the emperor's reward, and I won't be left behind."
Su Lijin knew what Concubine Shu was thinking and said calmly, "Concubine Shu is determined to get her."
"Of course, I will never let go of anything that belongs to me."
Concubine Shu said, "Your Majesty, have you thought it through? I'd like to remind you that if your idea isn't outstanding enough, you'll be laughed at."
She laughed, as if she had seen Su Lijin's embarrassing look.
Su Lijin said perfunctorily: "I have my own plans for my own affairs. It's not certain who will laugh at me."
Hearing this, Concubine Shu sneered and said, "Since your Majesty says so, how about making a bet with me?"
"You want to gamble with me?" Su Lijin asked.
"If I win the competition and take first place, Your Majesty will hand over the Phoenix Seal and give me full authority. How do you do that?"
Shu Fei's eyes were full of calculation.
Su Lijin flatly refused: "Don't even think about the Phoenix Seal. I will never bet on it."
Just based on a calligraphy and painting talk, he wanted to covet the phoenix seal in her hand. Concubine Shu is really naive. Does she really think she is a three-year-old child who can be fooled?
Unexpectedly, Su Lijin refused outright. Concubine Shu's face was full of displeasure, but she couldn't do anything about her.
Concubine Shu thought about it and said, "Well, let's change it. If Your Majesty loses the game, you have to kneel down and kowtow to me. Is that okay?"
This time, Su Lijin nodded: "Since Concubine Shu wants to gamble so much, then I will agree to it."
Just as Concubine Shu was about to be proud, Su Lijin said, "However, if Concubine Shu loses, you will kowtow three times and bow nine times from the palace gate all the way to the palace gate of this palace. How about that?"
Su Lijin was caught off guard by the bet, and Concubine Shu's face turned pale.
What a wicked Su Lijin! She has such a vicious mind. I didn’t even see it before!
You actually made me kowtow to you three times and nine times! You made me kneel from the palace gate to here!
Su Lijin looked at her expression and said with a smile, "Shufei, if you don't agree, I will just treat this bet as if it doesn't exist."
Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll make a bet. If I lose, I'll do as you say!"
She held her handkerchief tightly, she just didn't believe that she couldn't defeat Su Lijin!
Seeing her like this, Su Lijin said nothing more: "The bet is done."
After Concubine Shu left, Su Lijin devoted herself seriously to the conception of painting.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly received a message. Su Lijin's face froze slightly, and she immediately changed her clothes and left the palace.
She went to the brothel familiarly, asked the madam for a room, changed into a fairy dress, dressed like a flying fairy, and wore a mask on her face.
"Are they here yet?" she asked.
The madam said, "Well, as soon as this man got the first news about the Flying Fairy, I had him detained and brought him to you now."
Su Lijin nodded: "Let's go."
After a while, the madam came in with a man.
Su Lijin looked up, but was suddenly stunned and almost blurted out "Why are you here?"
She quickly suppressed herself and controlled her emotions.
The man was dressed in black brocade, with a precious jade pendant hanging from his waist. He was handsome and tall, with deep black eyes and a majestic aura. Who else could he be but Xiao Shengxing?!
Su Lijin never thought that the first person to get the news about the Flying Fairy at the auction would be Xiao Shengxing!
This was something she could never have imagined, and it almost made her unable to hold back.
Seeing Xiao Shengxing, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Xiao Shengxing had come into contact with her countless times, whether she was the queen or Shiqi, she had dealt with him countless times.
Thinking about how she had put on a white gauze hat just before someone came in to be on the safe side, she felt extremely lucky.
Although Xiao Shengxing had a lot of contact with her, she was wrapped so tightly today. In addition to the mask, she also wore a white gauze hat, and her dress was completely different from usual. It must be difficult to be recognized in this disguise.
After calming down, Su Lijin looked at Xiao Shengxing again.
Xiao Shengxing was also looking at her. His black eyes were deep and no emotion could be seen, but the aura in them was frightening.
After looking for a moment, a barely perceptible smile flashed in Xiao Shengxing's eyes.
When he walked in, he was also slightly stunned.
At this moment, he was certain that the person in front of him was Su Lijin.
He said, "Are you the Flying Fairy?"
Su Lijin looked at him and nodded.
"It is said that the flying fairy knows everything."
Seeing this, Xiao Shengxing's mind turned and he suddenly asked, "Then do you know when I will die?"
His question was indeed a bit shameless. Su Lijin's mouth twitched slightly when she heard it and she fell silent.
