"The student asked him, 'Sir, are you done? Has anyone seen it?' Brother Qian said, 'Yes, I'm done. I'm good at drawing. During my college entrance exam that year, someone saw it. Her approval gave me more confidence to keep going!'"
Gu Xin went on and on and on.
Princess Jinghe's eyes widened in disbelief; she simply couldn't believe that Qian Liangduo secretly harbored feelings for her!
Hey kid, you've got some nerve!
After Gu Xin finished speaking, Gu Yingxue cupped her chin and exclaimed, "Wow! How romantic! Drawing everything you like, so you can take it down whenever you want. Isn't this like recording life?"
Princess Jinghe pointed a fire poker at Gu Yingxue and said, "Xue'er, you've betrayed us so quickly? Didn't you say you were waiting for the right person?"
Gu Yingxue nodded: "That's right! We have to wait for the right person! Master Qian is so good! He's a top scholar in his early twenties, with excellent looks and temperament. Under my second uncle's guidance, he's becoming more and more mature. He has no bad habits, understands your preferences, and has a good personality."
Gu Hui nodded: "Having plenty of money and provisions is indeed a good thing. Back in the capital, I wasn't misled by Li Shan and wasn't afraid of powerful figures."
Princess Jinghe immediately retorted, "Nonsense! I am the one in power, and he fears me!"
Gu Xin said, "No, no, no, Sister Zhen, you forgot! You're not only powerful, you also appreciate his paintings, and you're a stunning beauty! Hahaha..."
Huo Yanyu: "Even heroes have found it hard to resist the charms of a beautiful woman!"
Xie Zhiyi: "Most men are lustful at first sight!"
Princess He Nan: "Wow! That's great! Sister Jinghe, don't give it to me! Isn't it that young Lord Qian from the yamen? He's really nice, I like that type!"
Princess Jinghe immediately turned her head, looked Princess He Nan up and down, and then shook her head: "You won't do! You're a bit too plump. Since he likes me, he should at least be better looking than me! Your figure won't pass the test. Maybe you'd be better if you ate less!"
Princess He Nan: "..."
The sisters: "Hahahaha..."
...
The group enjoyed a pleasant picnic all day, and only when it was getting dark did they pack up and ride back to the city.
Just then, at the city gate, they encountered the people they had been talking about all day—money and grain.
Princess He Nan waved and said, "Good evening, Lord Qian!"
Xie Zhiyi: "Greetings, Mr. Qian!"
Gu Yingxue: "Lord Qian looks so elegant today!"
Gu Nian: "Yeah, Lao Qian, you're getting better and better at dressing yourself. Keep it up!"
He San Niang: "Although you don't know kung fu and are a bit thin, you look alright, barely passable. Keep it up!"
Gu Xin and Gu Si: "Go for it, Brother Qian!"
Gu Hui: "Old Qian, keep up the good work! I believe in you!"
Princess Jinghe: "..."
Money and grain plentiful: "?"
What's wrong with me today? Why are the girls so enthusiastic?! It's scary!
And another thing, the princess seems to be glaring at me.
Princess Jinghe noticed that the man had plenty of money and grain, and his height, features, and clothing were all acceptable. However, he seemed a bit silly. Don't think that just because his skin isn't fair, we can't tell that he's blushing.
Oh dear, if you really married a man like you, wouldn't you be blushing from your girlfriends' teasing every day?
No, no, that won't do.
Qian Liangduo had no idea what Princess Jinghe was thinking. Seeing her glaring at him, he cautiously asked, "Is there something wrong with how Your Highness is looking at me like that?"
Princess Jinghe frowned and asked, "I heard that you painted quite a few paintings during the New Year this year?"
Qian Liangduo nodded honestly.
