Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day

On the table beside the exhibition hall, Xia Wanyuan was holding a pen and drawing rapidly on the paper.

The Qing University professors were at the very center. The others could only see that Xia Wanyuan’s hand did not stop. They could not see the final product, but when

they saw Xia Wanyuan’s wanton style of painting, everyone estimated her standard in their hearts.

“Young people these days are really too impetuous. They’re spouting nonsense just to gain some fame.”

“The way she holds the pen is too ill-disciplined. How dare she say that she can draw Li Yin’s picture?”

“Shh, just watch. It’s not like we’re the ones who lost face. We’ll see how it ends later.”

While everyone was discussing fervently, Xia Wanyuan had completely filtered out the people around her and sunk into the Autumn Chrysanthemum Garden.

Li Yin’s paintings were rarely seen, but there was indeed another painting that Xia Wanyuan had seen before. It was called “Waterfall.”

Initially, Jun Shiling did not like collecting antiques and calligraphy paintings. Ever since he found out that Xia Wanyuan liked painting, he had gotten people to buy many

famous paintings from all over the world.

Among them was Li Yin’s masterpiece, “Waterfall”.

Xia Wanyuan recalled the drawing methods used by Li Yin in that painting. Although she could not imitate 100%, she could still do 70-80%.

As time passed, the people waiting outside grew increasingly impatient. As for the Qing University professors near Xia Wanyuan, they gradually relaxed.

“With all due respect, I already don’t understand why the Qing University sent a little girl to attend the exchange. Isn’t it too much to ask so many of us to listen to her

nonsense?”

“That’s right. Back then, ‘Autumn Chrysanthemum’ was personally appraised by international experts. You guys actually accompanied a little girl who’s not even 20 years old

to mess around here. If this spreads to the international community, everyone will think that our Y Continent has no one, right?”

The people who had originally wanted to see what Xia Wanyuan had drawn were also suspicious upon hearing this. If they stayed any longer, they would lose face. Thus,

under the urging of some people, everyone began to slowly leave the exhibition hall.

“It’s done.” The people in the hall had already walked halfway when Xia Wanyuan’s voice suddenly came from behind. Everyone couldn’t help but turn back to look.

The people in the exhibition hall projected the painting onto the big screen in the middle.

Gradually, an “Autumn Chrysanthemum Painting” filled with strong vitality appeared before everyone’s eyes.

This painting was drawn by Xia Wanyuan using the Orchid Bamboo Brush. The chrysanthemum used two hooks to draw the petals with each stroke. The color of the ink

was dense and suitable, and the scene was vivid and lifelike.

However, the most amazing thing was the artistic mood of the entire painting.

It was clearly the chrysanthemum at the end of autumn. Even the leaves were beginning to fall apart, but the petals that stretched out seemed to be resisting the winter and

autumn.

It was just like Li Yin. He had been unruly and unrestrained his entire life. He had been banished countless times, but his unyielding character could not be blown away by

any autumn wind.

Everyone looked at Xia Wanyuan’s painting and then at the painting that they had thought was a “real” painting. They were momentarily speechless.

Those present who knew paintings were not blind. It was obvious which painting was better. In terms of technique and mood, Xia Wanyuan’s painting was much better than

the collection from Hanchuan University.

So, the treasure that Hanchuan University treated preciously was fake?!!!

At this moment, the faces of the teachers from Hanchuan University were very ugly.

The vice-principal couldn’t wait to remove the staff member who did the introduction from his position. /fonly he hadn’t provoked the people from Qing University. How

am I going to clean up the mess now?

Professor Zhang waited for a while until the situation was extremely awkward. Then, he finally came forward to resolve the situation. “Our school’s Professor Xia is only

guessing, hahaha. We haven’t completely confirmed that ‘Autumn Chrysanthemum’ is fake. We still have to wait for the international professional team to verify it. We still

have to observe who is real and who is fake. Don’t you agree, Principal Cui?”

“Ah yes, thank you Professor Xia for your suggestion. We will invite a professional appraiser over later. When the results are out, we will inform you immediately.” Even

though everyone knew clearly that the present painting was fake, since Professor Zhang had already given them an out, Principal Cui naturally went along with it.

However, there were always some people who were unwilling to step down and insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter.

Not long ago, the fiercest associate professor who had questioned Xia Wanyuan’s fiercest associate professor was from the Philosophy faculty and did not know much about

paintings. As a result, he could not see how Xia Wanyuan’s paintings were better than the collections of Hanchuan University.

After listening to Professor Zhang’s words, he believed them to be true. Seeing how Xia Wanyuan had managed to escape unscathed after humiliating the treasure of their

Hanchuan University, he could not hold back anymore.

“Miss Xia is young, but you are knowledgeable. How do you know that the white jade wine glass of the Han Dynasty is fake?”.
