Chapter 65 This Woman Must Want to Harm My Husband
"Miss Dong, Xie Lingxi is in love with Jiang Rong. According to my rigorous analysis, he should like talented women. When Jiang Rong was in the boudoir, apart from her talent, there was nothing else worth praising." The scholar looked at Dong Xiqin and praised:
"And you are more talented than her. I believe that if you show a little bit of your talent, you will surely win Xie Lingxi's heart!"
Dong Xiqin looked down on Xie Lingxi from the bottom of her heart, "He is a playboy, uneducated and unskilled, but he likes talented women?"
"As the saying goes, the more a person lacks something, the more he wants it. Xie Lingxi himself has no talent, so it makes sense that he secretly admires those talented people in his heart." The scholar stroked his beard.
Dong Xiqin was half-believing and half-doubting, "Then let's give it a try. I took the initiative to ask for a meeting today. If he has feelings for me, I'm sure he won't miss this opportunity."
Just as he finished speaking, the maid came to report, "The prince of the Northern King wants to see you."
Dong Xiqin's eyes widened in surprise. He...really prefers talented women?
Dong Xiqin's mind suddenly became active.
Although she was inclined towards Prince Duan in her heart, it was obvious that her hope of becoming Prince Duan's wife was slim.
In comparison, Xie Lingxi, this playboy, married a wife based on his own preferences. He even liked the orphan girl from the Bo family whose parents had both passed away. She was the daughter of the Yongning Marquis's family and was much more noble than Jiang Rong.
Dong Xiqin suddenly felt that the position of Princess of the North had great potential!
Dong Xiqin followed the maid into the tent.
The huge brocade embroidered carpet, the Ru kiln celadon placed on the side, the Shu embroidered jade screen, and the throne inlaid with gold and jade, every detail is exquisite and luxurious.
It was just a temporary tent built for hunting, but it looked like a palace.
Dong Xiqin secretly smacked her lips.
The North Prince's Mansion is so wealthy that it can rival a country. It is truly as its reputation says. She couldn't help but feel more satisfied with the position of the North Prince's Consort.
Look at the handsome young man sitting in the main seat.
Dressed in gorgeous clothes, with unparalleled appearance.
Even though he is a good-for-nothing, he is more handsome than Prince Duan.
"Miss Dong, do you have something important to discuss with me?" Xiao Nanxing asked.
Dong Xiqin withdrew her gaze from Xie Lingxi and noticed an exquisite cage on the table with a snow-white cat in it.
The cat has one amber eye and one sky blue eye, which is very beautiful.
Dong Xiqin liked him immediately.
She thought that the cat that Xie Lingxi kept must be a rare species. If she took it to the banquet, it would surely attract envy.
At the last poetry gathering, the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo brought a rare colorful bird, which attracted the attention of everyone in the room and made her jealous for a long time.
"This cat of yours is so pretty, it's very similar to the one Xiqin raised when she was a child. It's a pity that it got lost..." Dong Xiqin sighed softly.
Xie Lingxi had no expression on his face.
Xiao Nanxing looked confused.
Seeing the master and his ministers showing no reaction, Dong Xiqin thought that this dandy was not only brainless himself, but he also didn't bring a follower with brains!
Such an obvious hint, and neither of you understands it?
never mind.
She couldn't have too high expectations on the dandy's brain, so Dong Xiqin simply said it more clearly:
"Xiqin feels really bad to see it injured. If the prince doesn't mind, why not let Xiqin take it home and take care of it for a while, and then return it to the prince after it is cured."
Xiao Nanxing finally understood.
Are you interested in my prince's cat?
But why do you ask someone for a cat when you first meet him?
Xie Lingxi's eyes fell on her face and he said coldly: "Mind."
Dong Xiqin's smile froze on her face.
"Miss Dong, this cat belongs to my prince, and he is going to give it to his wife. If you like it, you can buy one." Xiao Nanxing found it unbelievable and explained.
Dong Xiqin reacted. This is... for Jiang Rong?
Just as the rumors said, Xie Lingxi was indeed in love with Jiang Rong.
But as long as I use a little trick, this dude will definitely fall in love with someone else...
Dong Xiqin immediately calmed down her emotions and said with a smile:
"Xiqin heard that the prince has been spending a lot of money to collect antiques, calligraphy and paintings recently. He must be a person who loves painting. Coincidentally, Xiqin also likes calligraphy and painting. Recently, I copied the peony painting of the former dynasty's painting master Yan. Please appreciate it, prince!"
As she spoke, the maid who was accompanying her unfolded a painting of peonies.
Dong Xiqin had already found out that the Northern Palace had recently been collecting ancient paintings by Yan Huasheng, and speculated that Yan Huasheng was a painter that Xie Lingxi liked very much.
So she decided to copy the paintings of the painting saint Yan to please him.
Presumably, Xie Lingxi would regard her as a close friend!
Dong Xiqin glanced at the white cat again, full of confidence. She must capture Xie Lingxi today and bring the cat back!
"Miss Dong, if you want to appreciate calligraphy and painting, why not come to me..." A clear female voice came from behind.
Dong Xiqin looked back...
The maid lifted the curtain...
A young woman in a red dress walked in.
The woman had an angelic figure, beautiful eyes and eyebrows, a dignified manner, and was bright and attractive.
Dong Xiqin felt a little guilty, so she seduced the man and was caught...
Jiang Rong stared at her with a very cold smile.
This woman was one of the culprits who killed Xie Ruojiao in the previous life!
At this time, she and Xie Ruojiao had no intersection yet.
Why did she suddenly come to see Xie Lingxi?
Jiang Rong thought for a moment, and his eyes became even colder.
The intention of letting a dude appreciate the painting is very obvious!
It was obvious that she wanted to make fun of her husband.
She wondered how many unpleasant words she would make up for her husband at the banquet.
The Yongning Marquis' Mansion is so despicable in trying to undermine the prestige of the Beiwang Palace!
The four great generals and the Northern Palace have always been at odds due to the dispute between the old and the new.
Jiang Rong figured out the trick and felt that she understood Dong Xiqin's intention. Naturally, she couldn't let her succeed. She took a step forward and stood in front of Xie Lingxi:
"This peony painting is exquisitely crafted and very similar to the original. However, Yan's painting style is like a thunderous and powerful stroke, which is completed in one go, elegant and casual, and full of spirit. Miss Dong pursues the similarity of form, and her brushwork is meticulous, which lacks a bit of spirit."
Dong Xiqin's face turned slightly pale.
This was a very well-written statement, pointing out her shortcomings.
This Jiang Rong actually knows a lot about the art of painting?
"Miss Dong, if you want to appreciate calligraphy and painting with someone, please come to me. My husband is busy with many things and has no time." Jiang Rong said with a smile.
Dong Xiqin couldn't do anything in front of her, so she had to find another opportunity and said with a smile:
"I will definitely go to see the Crown Prince's wife to appreciate the paintings some other day. I am sorry to bother you today. I will take my leave now."
Dong Xiqin left with an awkward smile on her face.
After she leaves.
Xiao Nanxing was puzzled: "What on earth is she doing here today?"
"Of course I'm here to cause trouble!" Jiang Rong's face was full of hostility:
"Discussing painting with my husband, isn't this clearly an attempt to make fun of him?"
Xiao Nanxing suddenly realized, "The Crown Prince's Consort is wise! The Yongning Marquis's Mansion is really a villain! The behavior of a villain!"
Although his young master is actually a man of both civil and military talents, he appears to be a playboy on the surface.
Let the dude appreciate the painting? That's a malicious intention!
"Don't let this kind of people in again!" Jiang Rong said.
Xiao Nanxing agreed, "You are right."
Xie Lingxi: I vaguely feel like something is wrong, but it also seems to make sense?
