Chapter 457

When did he say this!

Mo Chuan never would have dreamed that Empress Dowager Zhou would trick him in front of everyone!

Even if he wanted to explain, he couldn't. He couldn't say that he didn't say it in front of everyone, right?

He could only swallow his anger.

Chen Ning angrily glared at Mo Chuan and bit her lips. Was he trying to trick her to death?

When had he ever seen her painting!

"Ning 'er, are you willing?" Empress Dowager Zhou asked with a smile.

The current her in Chen Ning's eyes was like a smiling old fox!

"Of course I'm willing." Chen Ning steeled her heart. Wasn't it just painting?

She didn't know how to paint people, but could she not know how to paint earthworms?

"Alright, then this widow and the emperor will be waiting to enjoy your masterpiece." Empress Dowager Zhou leaned back in her chair in satisfaction. She looked over at Mo Chuan and saw the veins popping out on his forehead as expected.

He, he, she liked seeing this disobedient brat's veins pop out from anger.

Wu Yue Er was covered in paints. There were yellow, stone, titanium white, indigo, and etc. There were also all kinds of large and small brushes.

She had studied painting for ten years and had learned from a master, so her paintings had the style of a master. She wanted to show off at this time, so she was painting a spring garden.

There were distant mountains, trees, flowers fluttering in the wind, butterflies, swallows, and people enjoying the flowers.

Just looking at the structure, it could be seen that this was a very large painting. Only to finish this painting, it was not something that could be done in a short period of time.

"Princess Consort, what paints do you need? This servant will help you prepare them."

Su Jin saw that Chen Ning did not have any paints in front of her. She couldn't help feeling worried for her, so she asked in a concerned voice.

"Oh, I don't need paints. Aunt Su Jin, just help me grind some ink." Chen Ning replied with a smile.

Ink?

Su Jin was filled with questions, but she did not dare ask, so she ground the ink.

Chen Ning casually picked up a brush and dipped it in the ink. Raising the brush, she began to paint on the paper.

"I'm done." She put down the brush and took a step back. Looking over her painting, she was very satisfied.

She's done?

Empress Dowager Zhou and Mo Chuan were shocked. They couldn't help standing up and looking over at the table.

Their faces turned dark at the same time.

This, this, this ….. What was she painting?

On the snow-white paper, there were three curved earthworm-like things drawn horizontally. Other than that, there was nothing else.

Mo Chuan couldn't help secretly gritting his teeth. Was she writing his Chuan character horizontally?

Earthworms! How could she think of this!

Everyone that saw Chen Ning's drawing couldn't help having their faces twitch. They wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare. They could only lower their heads and endure it as their shoulders secretly shook.

Wu Yue Er's face was filled with disdain.

Ha, ha, I thought the Ding Yuan Princess was very strong. Don't look at how good her poems are, but comparing paintings? She only knew how to draw earthworms to coax children. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were definitely not children!

Empress Dowager Zhou took a deep breath and held Mo Chuan's hand as she slowly sat back down.

"Ding Yuan Princess, this widow's topic is to paint the scenery in the garden. I don't know what you're painting, but this widow's eyes aren't good and I can't see it. How about you show it to this widow?"
