Pan Yurou had made a name for herself, and even received praises and rewards from the empress dowager.

Although those who admired Xiao Chengyi didn't have the guts as Pan Yurou to offer wine in front of everyone, they were still extremely jealous in their hearts. All of them wanted to fight and show off their talents, so that the goddess-like man could take a look at them.

Therefore, ever since Pan Yurou, the various gold coins had been giving it their all, each and every one of them taking out their own unique skills.

The Flower Viewing Banquet wasn't about rewarding the flowers in the courtyard, but rather, it was about rewarding the golden flowers.

The only things that the Shangguan Family's young geniuses could take out were playing the zither, dancing, and flute. Although their skills were not bad, they were basically the same as the previous ones.

With Pan Yurou's peerless beauty in front of them, the few gold coins behind her were only able to win a few cheers, nothing much.

It was only until Xue Qihua, who was on the same path as Mu Qianyu, came out that people's eyes lit up.

"This subject's daughter pays her respects to the empress dowager and emperor, and to the various esteemed ladies and princes."

Xue Qihua walked out gracefully with unhurried steps, her sapphire blue skirt spinning into a beautiful flower.

"This must be the Xue Family girl."

The empress sized Xue Qihua up a few times, then said to the empress dowager, "Empress Dowager, look, all these delicate flowers have grown up in a year.

The empress dowager smiled and nodded her head, looking at Xue Qihua with a satisfied expression, "That's right, these girls have all made quite a good show. Why don't you guys hurry up and pick them?

The empress dowager's words made quite a few misses blush.

Xue Qihua smiled bashfully, bent down to express her gratitude, then said: "Empress Dowager, this subject is not as proficient in drawing as the other sisters, the only thing she is proficient in is painting, thus this subject dared to draw a few paintings on the spot, this is all to relieve everyone's boredom."

Her voice was gentle, her manner humble, her manner demure.

Compared to Pan Yurou's beautiful, fiery red, Yu Mei who was extremely dazzling and scorching hot, Xue Qihua was like a leisurely, elegant jade orchid. Although it was quiet, it did not lose its luster.

After Xue Qihua finished speaking, a guard had already brought a long table over.

Following that, a servant brought out Pan Yurou's brush and paint.

Soon after, two more guards lifted four white silk screens, each as tall as a person, and placed them in the center.

The screen was made of pear wood, with plain white silk hanging in the middle. It looked quite good, but the color was too plain, and there were no patterns on the white cloth.

And Xue Qihua had someone prepare this screen for a purpose.

Such a pure and simple screen naturally needed people to add luster to it. Who else could it be other than her?

She held a brush in her hand and walked over to the first screen. She then gently put it down.

In about the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he put down the pen in his hand and changed the color to another screen.

They walked past four cloaks in succession, ate a few mouthfuls of food and drank a few cups of wine.

While they were chatting and laughing, Xue Qihua had already put down her brush.

With a faint smile and a gentle expression, Ying Ying walked to the front of the pavilion and knelt down as per the rules, "This subject has humiliated you."

"Alright!"

This time, the first to speak was actually Emperor Jing.

Even when Pan Yurou had danced so coquettishly, the Emperor Jing had not even opened his mouth to praise her.

However, Xue Qihua's four paintings made the emperor open his mouth.

Everyone's gazes fell uniformly onto Xue Qihua's body. There was astonishment, praise, envy and of course, jealousy.

Mu Qianyu also raised her head and looked around curiously.

He saw that the originally white screen had become even more gorgeous.

Four gentlemen of the family, Plum Orchid Flower had appeared under Xue Qihua's hands.

The proud and unrestrained Red Plum was cold and proud and tough.

The elegant and elegant Mo Lan, graceful and beautiful, the fragrance of the valley.

Green bamboo, verdant and glistening, high quality, tenacious and unbreakable.

Wealthy and auspicious chrysanthemum, beautiful and colorful, deep clumps of solitary.

The four paintings were vivid and lifelike, as if the flowers weren't painted at all, but instead grew on the silk like living flowers.

Moreover, Xue Qihua did not rush nor slow down, she just calmly wrote as though she was casually writing when he had nothing to do.

To be able to draw such a realistic picture of the Four Gentlemen so easily and effortlessly, it truly deserved Emperor Jing's praise.

"Chenqie feels that this Mo Lan and the green bamboo seem very familiar. It seems like the flowers in our garden."

At this time, the pretty girl sitting beside Xian Consort, who was dressed in purple and had a long scarlet gold hairpin, and was wearing a flowery silk dress with a purple brocade, opened her mouth.

This girl seemed to be one or two years younger than Xian Consort. She had delicate skin and beautiful eyebrows.

She was Xiao Chengjin's biological mother. Huifei, who was ranked second in the fourth wife, was second only to Xian Consort, who was placed first among the fourth wives.

Huifei realized that out of the four paintings that Xue Qihua had drawn, the postures of Mo Lan and Qing Zhu were not imagined.

With Huifei's reminder, everyone anxiously looked around, it was not a big deal.

The Mo Lan and the green bamboo on the screen were exactly the same as the ones in the garden.

As for the Plum Blossom and the Golden Chrysanthemum, they were no longer flowers that could be enjoyed in this world. Naturally, there was no way for them to compete in painting.

Just that when Xue Qihua was drawing, she did not look around.

He must have already memorized the flower's posture.

With her memory and drawing skills, she was truly a talented girl.

No matter how charming and charming Pan Yurou's dance was, others would still be able to jump out of the dance at the same time.

But this move of Xue Qihua's wasn't something that just anyone could do.

And it was a drawing of four flowers.

With Huifei's words, everyone praised Xue Qihua even more.

Looking at the prince sitting in the pavilion and the talented youngster sitting below, which of the aristocratic young masters did not have their eyes set on Xue Qihua?

Xue Qihua was already an absolute beauty already, and with such skills, she was even the daughter of a Cabinet Master.

If he wanted to be a woman with status, beauty, family background, and temperament, everyone would want to marry her and have a heart aching for her.

Looking at the aristocratic young master below with green light shining in his eyes, and then raising his head to look at the dignified Crown Prince, he could not help but be foolish again.

Mu Qianyu lightly snorted in disdain as she lowered her eyes and continued eating.

Men were men, they really couldn't change their lecherous nature.

This time, not only did the Emperor Jing personally praise Xue Qihua, he even bestowed him with a jade ruyi that had been paid as tribute.

Because he thought that it wasn't good to be alone, he added on an extra set of good literary treasures. To praise her talented daughter in the name, it was even better to put together two good things.

Originally, Pan Yurou had already become this most dazzling star, but she didn't expect that the moment Xue Qihua appeared, this star would instantly decline.

What made Pan Yurou even more angry, was that when Xue Qihua received the gratitude, she still had that indifferent and distant look on her face. Although she was happy, she did not act as if she was crazy, her actions were proper and proper, and if others saw her, they would see it, but if they saw her, their eyes would spew out fire, and they would want to go up and slap Xue Qihua's face a few times, and ask her why did she have so many methods to please others.
