Chapter 34 Asking Eunuch De for Silver
Even if Princess Anping wanted to favor Ye Anling, she couldn't say anything bad about what Ye Chutang wrote.
Because as long as you have your eyes open, you can see who is better.
She looked at Ye Chutang, who was smiling faintly, and knew that she had been fooled.
There are so many flowers, but I chose to write about the same pomegranate flower as her, just to humiliate her!
"Miss Ye never reveals her true identity. This princess admires her!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone praised Ye Chutang.
"I didn't expect Miss Ye to be so talented in writing. The ranking of the talented women in the capital needs to be changed."
"Just this handwriting alone is better than many ladies from famous families."
"Let alone women, even the First Young Master Song Jingning is probably not as good as him."
"The position of the most talented woman in the capital needs to be replaced, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Ye Anling.
The smile on Ye Anling's face froze.
She couldn't say anything to praise Ye Chutang, nor could she say anything to belittle herself.
Kong Ru stepped forward to help, "No matter who comes first between Chu'er and Ling'er, it is the honor of Shangshu Mansion."
The lady who was on good terms with her immediately joined in.
"That's right. Both of her daughters are promising. Madam Ye is so lucky."
After Ye Chutang and the others finished praising him, they looked at the prize on the stone table.
"My Lord, these are all mine, right?"
Princess Anping nodded reluctantly, "Miss Ye won the first prize, so the prize is naturally yours."
Kong Ru asked the maid to collect the prize and send it to Ningchu Courtyard.
Princess Anping looked at Ye Chutang with a smile on her face and wished she could tear her face apart.
Unconvinced, she wanted to compete in musical instruments again.
She just doesn't believe that Ye Chutang knows everything!
"Miss Ye, are you interested in playing another round?"
Ye Chutang did not agree immediately and asked, "What does the princess want to compete in?"
The original owner had been raised in the countryside for fifteen years. Apart from double-sided embroidery, she didn't know anything else and didn't even know a few words.
She was born into an ancient martial arts family. In addition to practicing martial arts and studying medicine, she also took compulsory courses in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
No matter what Princess Anping wants to compete in, she will not lag far behind others.
"Compare instruments, Miss Ye, do you dare?"
Miss Liu’s piano skills are better than her master’s, thanks to the guidance of a master. No one can beat her!
Ye Chutang raised her red lips, "As long as the prize is high enough, I dare."
Princess Anping saw Ye Chutang smiling and had a bad feeling in her heart.
But the words have been spoken and cannot be taken back.
"Since it's a competition, there must be prizes."
She took off the ice violet bracelet on her wrist and placed it on the stone table.
Just as Ye Chutang was about to take off the golden hairpin on her head, Shuangxi, the young eunuch beside Eunuch De, came to the back garden.
Shuangxi walked quickly to Kong Ru.
"Madam Ye, the Lord Commander heard that Miss Ye is an excellent calligrapher. He wants to see her calligraphy and also wants to see her in person."
These words were blunt and explicit, and everyone's eyes fell on Ye Chutang.
There is pity, compassion, and gloating.
Kong Ru said to Ye Chutang, "Chu'er, take the poem you wrote to show to Eunuch De."
Ye Chutang had long wanted to meet Eunuch Hui De, so he nodded, "Yes."
Shan'er was about to follow but was stopped by Shuangxi.
"The chief eunuch only wants to see Miss Ye."
Ye Chutang gave Shan'er a soothing look and followed Shuangxi to the front yard.
As soon as she appeared, everyone's eyes fell on her.
Qin Muyun looked at Qi Yanzhou, who always had a cold face, with admiration in his eyes.
"Even though she knew that Eunuch De had ill intentions towards her, she was still able to remain calm. Miss Ye is truly an extraordinary person."
Qi Yanzhou glanced at him and asked, "Want to be a hero and save the beauty?"
"I want to, but the Qin family is behind me, with more than a hundred lives at stake. I can't be willful."
After Qin Muyun finished speaking, he bumped into Qi Yanzhou's shoulder.
"Prince Chen's Mansion is not afraid of Eunuch De, how about you give her a hand?"
Qi Yanzhou did not answer but asked, "How do you know she needs help?"
Ye Chutang is not only skilled in martial arts, but also knows poisons. Eunuch De may not get any good results from her.
"She doesn't have any family to protect her. Are you going to let a weak woman like her save herself?"
Qin Muyun didn't get a response from Qi Yanzhou, so he turned his gaze back to Ye Chutang.
At this time, Ye Chutang had already walked up to Eunuch De with the poem in his hand.
Eunuch De was over forty years old, with a fair face and no beard, and he sat in the main seat.
He didn't look bad, but when he looked at me, it was as if I was being stared at by a cold, poisonous snake.
Ye Chutang knelt and saluted, "I greet Eunuch De."
Eunuch De had obtained Ye Chutang's portrait before and was very interested in her appearance.
"Look up."
Ye Chutang stood up and looked up, handing the poem in his hand to Eunuch De.
Eunuch De looked at Ye Chutang, who was several times more beautiful than the portrait, and he was itching to get her.
"Come forward."
Ye Chutang stood there without moving.
Ye Jingchuan was worried that she would displease Eunuch De, so he hurriedly urged her, "Chu'er, Eunuch De is calling you."
"I heard it, but why should I obey? The chief eunuch is only a third-rank official, not as good as you, father."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.
Although Ye Chutang was telling the truth, official position meant nothing in front of the "favored minister" who could control the emperor.
Ye Jingchuan's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he hurriedly explained for Ye Chutang.
"Eunuch De, please calm down. Chu'er grew up in the countryside and doesn't quite understand the rules of Beijing. Please forgive me."
Eunuch De had long been tired of playing with those flattering women and became more and more interested in Ye Chutang, who was full of thorns.
He smiled and said, "It's okay. I like Miss Ye's true nature."
This was telling everyone that he had taken a fancy to Ye Chutang.
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards her.
Qin Muyun was worried for Ye Chutang and cursed with gnashing teeth: "Bah, damn eunuch, you have no shame!"
Qi Yanzhou stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth and said, "If you don't want to bring trouble to the Qin family, just shut up."
"Ziqian, please take action. I can't bear to watch this anymore!"
"Just enjoy the show, so much talk!"
Qin Muyun: "..."
Why did he hear a hint of excitement from his brother's mouth?
Ye Chutang looked at Eunuch De who was walking towards her without any fear.
Eunuch De did not do anything to her, but just took the poem from her hand.
“Great poem, great calligraphy!”
If these characters in different fonts were written one by one, perhaps many people who can copy could do it.
The two lines of poetry are completed in one breath, fluently without any pause, which shows how powerful the poem is.
After saying that, he handed the paper to Shuangxi.
"Let everyone see who says women are inferior to men!"
Shuangxi took the poem respectfully and showed it to the prince, who had the highest status.
The prince thought that Eunuch De was deliberately praising Ye Chutang in order to make her happy.
But after seeing the poems with different handwritings, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"I didn't expect Miss Ye to be able to combine the essence of various calligraphy styles, and her every word is as powerful as a dragon."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone leaned over to look.
Then, everyone was impressed by the artistic conception of Ye Chutang's poems and exquisite calligraphy.
They rushed to pass it around and praised it endlessly.
When the poem was passed to Qi Yanzhou, Eunuch De asked, "Who taught Miss Ye how to write calligraphy?"
Ye Chutang: "I learned it by myself."
Everyone: “…”
Then what's the point of them spending a lot of money to hire famous teachers to teach them?
Eunuch De: "I wonder if I can ask Miss Ye for a copy of her calligraphy?"
"Ten taels of gold for one piece of calligraphy. I will write as much as Eunuch De wants."
Everyone: “…”
He is so bold that he actually asked Eunuch De for money!
Eunuch De looked at Ye Chutang, who was covered in thorns, and the smile on his face deepened.
He was looking forward to the day when he could pull out all the thorns on her body with his own hands.
So he took off the imperial green ring on his thumb and handed it to Ye Chutang.
"I don't have any silver with me today. This ring is worth more than ten gold coins. Is that okay?"
Just as Ye Jingchuan was about to refuse, Ye Chutang took the ring.
"I'm not at a disadvantage, of course!"
After saying that, she looked at Ye Jingchuan, whose face had turned green.
"Dad, have someone prepare the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone."
Ye Jingchuan was furious when he saw Ye Chutang deliberately causing trouble, but he had to obey orders for the sake of Eunuch De's face.
While he had his men prepare, Ye Chutang asked Eunuch De, "What do you want me to write? In what font?"
"As long as it's written by Miss Ye, this supervisor can accept it."
Ye Chutang lowered his eyes, and a hint of ill intention flashed across his eyes.
"OK!"
