When Shen Lan heard what County Lady Yunying said, she quickly agreed, "This servant also thinks it's impossible. My sister-in-law hasn't even read a book, how could she possibly draw such a realistic picture?"
The old lady of the Wen Yibo Mansion felt that the painting technique was very familiar. She walked forward to take a closer look and then looked at the signature. Only then did she realize that this was painted by the same person as the painting that her second son had presented to her.
The signature is "Xuanying".
Old Madam Wen was struggling with whether or not to speak this out in public. She was afraid that if she exposed the matter in public, the wife of Prince Shen would be charged with the crime of "deceiving the emperor".
The main reason is that Mrs. Shen has a good relationship with her granddaughter Wen Jin.
Just as Madam Wen was feeling apprehensive, another lady who had come forward to observe exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? There's a signature on this?"
As he spoke, he leaned forward and asked in confusion, "Xuanying? Was this painting drawn by Mr. Xuanying?"
After the lady finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized that it was Xuanying's painting. No wonder the painting looked so real, it turned out to be Mr. Xuanying's painting!
Ever since the last Emperor's birthday, when people saw the painting that Prince Shen gave to the Emperor, Mr. Xuanying's name became famous and almost everyone knew him.
But everyone soon realized that the wife of Prince Shen had just said that she had painted this painting herself, so how could that be possible?
Could it be that this prince’s wife is Mr. Xuanying?
Everyone was shocked by their own guess. This was absolutely impossible!
Everyone who was originally happily admiring the painting suddenly looked at Xia Tian with complicated expressions.
Xia Tian looked at the startled crowd, raised her eyebrows slightly, and complained in her heart, she had been waiting for a long time, how come they only found out now?
Seeing everyone looking at him, Xia Tian sat there dignifiedly without changing his expression.
The Queen Mother sitting on the throne looked at Mrs. Shen and showed no intention of explaining.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager's face was about to become embarrassed again, she quickly said, "Madam Shen, this painting was drawn by you, right? If it is, it is. If it is not, it is not. You can't lie."
The Queen was a little anxious at this moment. Just now, she was very confident that this girl would not dare to lie in front of so many people. If she was wrong now, she would really be slapping herself in the face in public!
Seeing that the Empress had asked this, Xia Tian no longer acted pretentiously and replied in a very affirmative tone, "Your Majesty, this painting was painted by me."
"Impossible, the painting has Mr. Xuanying's seal on it." County Master Yunying immediately retorted.
The others nodded, and felt that what County Master Yunying said was right.
It's obvious from his painting skills that he's practiced for many years. How could a country girl be able to draw that?
Seeing that everyone didn't believe her, Xia Tian walked to the center, bowed to the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and then explained, "Xuanying is the pen name I gave myself."
Seeing how determined she was, the Queen Mother felt a little relieved, as long as she was not lying.
The Empress Dowager also breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.
Today is such a good day, she doesn't want to bring bad luck!
Princess Ruihua, who had been silent for a long time, originally thought that this girl was going to be in trouble today, and was a little happy in her heart, but she didn't expect that there would be a reversal.
But if you tell her that the painting was drawn by that girl, she would never believe it even if you beat her to death.
Since she revealed her flaws herself, don't blame her for catching her by the tail.
Princess Ruihua thought that she couldn't just let her get away with it, so she shook her head and said with feigned regret, "I didn't expect that Madam Shen is such a secretive person. It's a shame that I can't see Madam Shen painting in person. Sigh!"
Liu understood what Princess Ruihua meant and immediately joined in with a smile, "Forget the princess, even I, the mother-in-law, have never seen it in person!"
"Yes, yes, I have never seen my sister-in-law paint, and I thought she couldn't paint at all!" Shen Lan also quickly echoed.
She had just testified with all her heart that Xia Tian could not paint. If the Empress Dowager believed that the painting was painted by Xia Tian, it would definitely be detrimental to her.
When County Lady Yunying heard this, she immediately realized that this was her mother's order, so she said, "Mrs. Shen, are you lying? Unless you paint a picture on the spot, I don't believe this is your painting."
The others nodded as well, they also didn't believe it.
Not to mention that young ladies who have studied painting for many years cannot draw such a picture, even famous masters may not be able to draw it, let alone her, a country girl who has never even been to school.
Although Hu Mengyao didn't quite believe that this was drawn by Xia Tian herself, she felt a little annoyed when she saw County Master Yunying and Shen Lan constantly making things difficult for her.
I couldn't help but say, "How is it impossible? This woman, Madam Shen, said she painted it herself, so it must be her own painting. The Empress Dowager and the Empress are here, how dare she lie?"
"Yes, I also think that Mrs. Shen would not dare to tell this lie." Lin Sayu also spoke up to help.
The parents on both sides couldn't hold the child back.
Wen Jin touched her mother. Mrs. Wen glanced at Wen Jin. This child just couldn't keep his temper.
But there was no way, because it was Mrs. Shen who saved her daughter's life!
So she smiled and said, "I think what the girls from the Hu and Lin families said is right. The masterful erhu playing of Madam Shen on the last birthday celebration is still lingering in my ears!"
Everyone suddenly realized!
That's right! This wife of Prince Shen is not the ignorant country girl they say she is.
The ice skating at the Ice Skating Festival and the Erhu performance at the Longevity Festival left a deep impression on everyone. So it shouldn't be a problem for me to say that I can paint now, right?
