Qin Zhongwan calculated the time for Concubine Yun's arrival and arrived at the main garden in advance. At this time, the sons and daughters of various families were already waiting.

Not long after, the palace maid arrived supporting Concubine Yun.

After everyone saluted, Concubine Yun said with a smile, "You don't need to be polite."

Her eyes flicked across everyone's faces, and finally landed on Qin Zhongwan's face, "Are you the second young lady who was just taken back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Kyoto? What's your name?"

Qin Zhongwan saluted, "My daughter's name is Wanzhong."

"It's a good name." Concubine Yun asked again, "Can you paint? The spring is very beautiful today. It would also be good if you can paint a few pictures."

It is indeed the same as in the previous life.

Concubine Yun also asked this question in her previous life. At that time, she had not yet studied painting, so she politely refused. Concubine Yun did not do anything at that time.

It was not until a palace banquet that day that Concubine Yun mentioned it again. In order to make the concubine happy, the emperor ordered her to paint on the spot, but the dye had been tampered with by Concubine Yun's people, and she was severely embarrassed.

It was only later by chance that she found out that Concubine Yun held the flower viewing banquet in order to choose a suitable concubine for the third prince Gu Siyi.

She was asked to paint that day just to compare who was better between her and Qin Xiaoyun.

At that time, she politely refused. Concubine Yun felt that she had disgraced her, so she always held a grudge in her heart.

Qin Zhongwan lowered his eyes and said, "My daughter is ugly because of her poor painting skills."

In this life, not only will she not refuse, but she will also use it to show off her talents.

As the most talented woman in Kyoto, she would not let Qin Xiaoyun continue to sit down.

She will eat away at Qin Xiaoyun's pride step by step.

The palace man came over with pen, ink and dye.

Everyone stood and watched, all looking at the show in their eyes.

"What kind of painting can a country girl know?" Lu Qian'er hummed.

Someone on the side nodded in agreement, "Even if I go back to Kyoto to study painting, what results can I achieve in just a few days?"

Qin Zhongwan turned a blind eye to everyone's attention and picked up her pen.

With each stroke of the pen, hundreds of flowers bloom on the rice paper.

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Zhongwan stopped writing and said, "Your Majesty, the painting of your servant has been completed."

"Send it to me for a look." Concubine Yun said lazily, a bit curious.

The palace man immediately came forward with the painting in hand.

Concubine Yun raised her eyes and looked carefully.

After a while, he laughed and said, "Second Miss Qin is worthy of being the daughter of Prime Minister Qin. Her painting skills are even better than Miss Qin's. Qin Fang has really taught another good daughter."

After hearing these words, everyone present had different expressions, and some people's eyes even drifted towards Qin Xiaoyun.

Qin Xiaoyun is the most talented woman in Kyoto, and her painting skills are unparalleled. Now Concubine Yun praises Qin Zhongwan's painting skills even more...

Qin Xiaoyun's expression was as usual, her hands in her sleeves were clenched so tightly that she couldn't even feel her nails digging into her flesh.

"Thank you for your compliment."

Qin Zhongwan saluted, his smile was particularly sincere because he had achieved his goal.

A few more daughters were selected to show off their talents. Concubine Yun yawned without interest, letting everyone enjoy themselves, and left holding the maid's hand.

Before leaving, she asked the palace maid to pass on Qin Zhong's late paintings to everyone.

As soon as Concubine Yun left, everyone dispersed in twos and threes. While looking at the paintings, they also glanced at Qin Zhongwan from time to time. They felt very incredible - was this really painted by Qin Zhongwan?

Qin Xiaoyun secretly glanced at Qin Zhongwan and continued to coax Lu Qian'er.

Knowing that they were discussing him, Qin Zhongwan didn't care and found a secluded corner to wait for the flower-viewing banquet to end.

However, she never noticed that as early as when she was painting, there was a man in blue robe watching her.

If she saw him, she would definitely recognize the man in blue robe as the third prince of the current dynasty, Gu Siyi.

Gu Siyi didn't stay long. Seeing Qin Zhongwan just sitting in a daze, he left.
