The queen just lowered her head to drink tea and didn't say anything to Concubine Yang's arrogance. When she heard that Xiyin couldn't answer anything, something flashed in Guan Ruyi's eyes, and then she raised her head and said softly.

"It's almost time, sisters, just say a few words and let's start the game."

"The competition this time is very simple. I believe all the sisters can do it with ease... Just each hand in a painting... and then frame it with a poem, and that's it."

The concubines were overjoyed when they heard this. Music, chess, calligraphy and painting are essential learning skills for entering the palace. If the competition is just this, then everyone is sure to win. Once the golden abacus really has this magical effect, then the emperor will definitely

Pay attention, and it will be very simple to be favored by then.

The palace maids filed in, and the eunuchs shuttled back and forth from time to time. The flower-filled palace was soon filled with various painting tables, one for each person, and each was spaced apart.

The concubines were like flowers selected from a hundred, and they were walking with their skirts in their dazzling skirts, walking towards their respective positions according to their status...

"My beloved concubine, don't let me down!"

Ouyang Liefeng was pretending to be asleep. At this moment, he suddenly opened his sinister eyes and looked at Xiyin. If she hadn't looked at his eyes, Xiyin would have had the illusion that he really loved her.

With a cold smile, Xiyin stood up and saluted. After sitting down again, she looked at the painting table and was startled.

——What should I draw?

He raised his eyes lightly and looked around. The concubines had already begun to draw with smiles on their faces. They were all confident, as if they were sure to win the golden abacus.

Originally, Xiyin wanted to hide herself and not reveal any of her abilities. One day, she would talk about it after leaving the palace.

But when she thought of the world-famous golden abacus, Xiyin felt a slight pain in her heart. She gritted her teeth, picked up the brush, lowered her head and began to think.

After a while, the paintbrush in Xiyin's hand started flying.

Ouyang Liefeng's eyes sharpened, and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. He thought Shen Xiyin would do nothing because she didn't know how to do it...

Empress Guan Ruyi was also stunned for a moment. Looking at Xiyin's serious and thoughtful look, her heart suddenly panicked. She had no intention of really giving up the golden abacus in this competition, she just wanted to take advantage of it...

The sandalwood in the palace was very refreshing, Xiyin nodded slightly after hearing it. It was indeed a palace, and the spices used were the best.

but……

After smelling it carefully, Xiyin frowned again. There seemed to be something wrong with the ingredients in this spice. It should be said that all the ingredients were fine. If they were in the right order, but as long as the two ingredients were mixed in the wrong position, the effect would be lost.

It will be completely different.

Looking at Guan Ruyi's belly, Xiyin's eyes showed a hint of pity. She would probably never know the secret.
