"If you want to paint, then go ahead. I'm just collecting one more painting. There's plenty of space at home, so you can hang it anywhere." Ning Xiaotang saw Ye Jingxiao trying to please her, and the anger in her heart actually dissipated a lot.
Yu Zimei felt deeply envious and jealous of Ye Jingxiao's attitude towards Ning Xiaotang.
Yu Zimei immediately forced a smile and said, "Young Master Ye is painting, why does he have to hide in the study? Why not let us sisters watch together and perhaps learn from his brushstrokes?"
Ye Jingxiao glanced at Yu Zimei, feeling secretly unhappy. He was the King of Chen! Asking him to draw for a few little girls was like asking Chen Xiucai, the clerk in Shuihe Town, to write documents for others. Setting up a stall?
Ning Xiaotang coughed immediately: "Ahem! Sister Yu, painting requires inspiration. Young Master Ye is always full of inspiration in his study. I'm afraid that being in front of you sisters will affect his speed of writing."
Ye Jingxiao's face immediately darkened. Was Ning Xiaotang deliberately provoking him?
"Xu Qingfeng, move the pen over here!" Then, Xu Qingfeng immediately prepared the scroll and pen and ink.
Ye Jingxiao just looked up at the night sky and started writing like a god.
It was just a painting, but the sisters in the painting were only sketched with a few strokes, while Ning Xiaotang's small figure was depicted in great detail.
The sisters all kept silent and watched the painting being completed.
When the painting is dry, the final stroke is done.
"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival night!" Ye Jingxiao immediately put down his brush. Xu Qingfeng immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, your seal."
Then Ye Jingxiao stamped the seal on the scroll.
Ning Xiaotang was also surprised that a beautiful painting could be completed in such a short time.
"Ye Jingxiao, your painting is really good! I like it. Quanyue will send it back to my room and hang it up in a prominent place."
Quanyue immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Yes, young lady." Quanyue took the painting from Xu Qingfeng's hand and left.
Yu Zimei felt even more envious. Although this painting only had a few strokes of hers, if her mother knew that she was in Ye Jingxiao's painting, her mother would definitely make good use of it.
Ye Jingxiao couldn't help but glared at Ning Xiaotang fiercely. This little kid actually asked him to paint in public.
Fortunately, his skills are very strong. If he couldn't complete a painting in a short time tonight, his reputation would be damaged in the future.
Quan Yue hung the painting on the wall of Ning Xiaotang's bedroom, then closed the door and left.
But after a while, Luo Zhong quietly entered the room and carefully made a copy of the painting, even the small seal was not spared.
When Luo Zhong nodded to Yu Zimei in the dark, Yu Zimei knew that the rubbing of the painting had been done.
As long as this painting is there, Ye Jingxiao will be able to relax and forget about the Mid-Autumn Festival moon-viewing night.
Three days later
Xu Qingfeng immediately ran over in a panic: "Master, it is rumored in Kyoto that the painting of the Mid-Autumn Festival moon-viewing night was painted by you for the selection of a concubine."
Ye Jingxiao glanced sideways and said, "Even if it is, the painting only focuses on Tangtang. It is Tangtang's home ground."
"But Master, there's a rumor in Kyoto that the person you painted is a girl from the Yu family."
"Yu Zimei? Who does she think she is? How could she let people spread such rumors?"
"Master, do you want to calm this matter down?" Xu Qingfeng immediately trembled his calves.
Whenever Ye Jingxiao looked like this, it meant that he was in a very bad mood.
"Let her take the initiative to announce that she is not feeling well!"
Xu Qingfeng immediately said, "Yes, Master."
Just as Xu Qingfeng was about to leave, Ye Jingxiao suddenly said, "Wait a minute! Let this news spread. As long as I don't marry her, no one will dare to marry her in the future!"
Xu Qingfeng's expression immediately relaxed as he asked, "Master, are you planning to let Yu Zimei remain single until old age?"
"She loves making gossip so much, isn't it because she knows my identity?
I asked her to perform in front of me every day, and finally her dream was shattered!"
Xu Qingfeng wanted to say something, but he swallowed and dared not say anything more.
"What do you have to say? Don't look like you're hesitant to speak!" Ye Jingxiao was very unhappy.
"Master, will Miss Ning hear those rumors? Will there be any misunderstandings?"
"Rumors? You let the rumors reach her ears?"
"I dare not, I am just worried~!"
Ye Jingxiao immediately frowned anxiously: "Although I am still a few years away from adulthood, this is a good time for Tangtang to slowly get used to the hurtful rumors, and also let her know that rumors cannot be fully believed."
"Yes, master." Xu Qingfeng immediately retreated again.
He didn't dare stay any longer because his master was about to eat him.
Ning's House
"Girl, that's right. The man in black has strange movements and hid in the valley. My subordinates couldn't find him for a while!"
"So that's the end of the clue?"
"Miss, that's not the case. It's precisely because the man in black is hiding that I know his healing medicine comes from Medicine King Valley."
"Oh, Ling Hu, tell me what you found."
Afterwards, Ling Hu reported his tracking journey to Ning Xiaotang in detail.
Ning Xiaotang nodded and said, "Go down and take a rest. You've worked hard these past few days. Here's a full-month reward!"
"Yes, young lady!" Quan Yue immediately took out a reward of ten taels of silver and placed it in Ling Hu's hand.
"Thank you for the reward, young lady!" Ling Hu was very excited.
I got some money just by completing a mission. Now I can finally relax.
When Ling Hu left, Quan Yue's expression flickered and she asked, "Miss, do you want to serve the meal now?"
"Well, pass it on!" Ning Xiaotang didn't notice Quan Yue's appearance.
But when Yueman came to serve the food, she looked like she was crying.
"Yueman, who offended you? Why do you look like you're crying?" Ning Xiaotang immediately noticed something was wrong.
"No, are several of you like this?"
"Miss, it's rumored all over Shuihe Town right now that Master Ye of the Ye Mansion intends to choose his future wife during the Mid-Autumn Festival moon-viewing night!"
Ning Xiaotang's eyes widened in shock. Her pretty eyes were filled with astonishment as she said, "This is just a bunch of kids playing around. Who cares who marries Ye Jingxiao?"
Quan Yue immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss, I don't want to hide it from you. Young Master Ye is actually the King of the Morning in Kyoto!"
"Miss, it's true!" Ning Xiaotang looked at the maids and they all nodded.
"Look at you guys, you look more anxious than if your own man was snatched away. I haven't grown up yet, I'm less than two years old. Who would care who Ye Jingxiao marries at this time?"
"My lady, the current emperor! I heard that he had wanted to arrange a marriage for Prince Chen a long time ago."
Ning Xiaotang was shocked and said, "Could it be that His Majesty is really going to marry a baby like me, less than two years old, to the Prince of Chen?"
