The ladies all pricked up their ears, waiting to hear the second half of his sentence. Hearing him comment on himself was uncomfortable, but commenting on others was fun.
"I won't comment on this painting." Jun Zifeng suddenly said.
"Why is this?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"This painting is full of deep feelings. Is it an innocent heart for the family, the country, and the world, or is it a never-ending love for a lover, or is it other unspeakable and unexplained human emotions. I am afraid that I will blaspheme this feeling with any words."
Friendship. And the painter of this painting is above me."
Jun Zifeng's eyes were full of appreciation.
There was a sound of inhalation. Isn’t this not a comment? This is clearly praising Chu Yunxi’s paintings to the best of heaven and earth.
Prince Hao is known as the most talented person, and the painter is above him, so he is undoubtedly the leader?
Chu Yunxi stood up politely: "Your Majesty is humble, Yunxi is ashamed of himself."
Sure enough, after one round of voting, Chu Yunxi once again won the top spot without any doubt.
She stepped forward and knelt down for the second time, taking the set of butterfly hollow gold jewelry with both hands.
The ladies were envious for a while. Which woman wouldn't like such exquisite and beautiful accessories? Now Chu Yunxi can get both.
Seeing that she usually doesn't show off her appearance, I didn't expect that she was hiding her clumsiness. This is just a blockbuster.
After Chu Yunxi thanked her, she did not return to her place, but went straight to Princess Wantao:
"Eighth Princess, I think this set of jewelry is smart and cute, and it matches the princess best. I would like to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha, and I hope the princess will accept it."
Princess Wantao's eyes are bright. She really likes this set of accessories. It doesn't matter the value. As a princess, she can't get anything she wants.
But Chu Yunxi was willing to give her the prize for winning the first place. This kind of friendship made her even happier. In the future, when she got something good, she would just give her a gift in return.
"Thank you sister Yunxi, I like it very much." She happily took it and played with it.
The emperor and Concubine Xiao in the high position were both thoughtful. One thought that the princess might be right, but the other thought that such an intelligent woman would only become a dead person if she could not become one of them.
Jun Lingyun looked at Chu Yunxi, who was so all-round and exquisite, but he still had the dull and clumsy look before, resembling a little fox.
"It's a pity that such a good painting doesn't have a name. Have you given it a name?"
The emperor suddenly became interested and wanted to find out the story in the painting.
"Back to the Emperor, I want to give this painting of a court lady to His Highness the Crown Prince, and I also want to give it to His Highness the Crown Prince to pick up the name."
As soon as Chu Yunxi said these words, the whole hall was in an uproar. This woman was really unusually bold. She was expressing her love for the prince in public.
"It's so shameless."
Xiao Feifei muttered in a low voice, but the people around her heard clearly that in front of the emperor, only people from Duke Xiao's palace dared to be so arrogant.
"My daughter is the fiancée of His Highness the Crown Prince. From now on, I will put His Highness first in everything I do. Your Majesty, I wonder if what I think is right?"
Chu Yunxi, like a good person, posed the question to the emperor. If the emperor still wanted her to be the crown princess, he would not say anything wrong about this issue.
Sure enough, the emperor was silent for a moment. The girl in front of him was so smart that he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, but he still followed her and said:
"It should be so. Since you are engaged, you should put the prince first in everything."
"Please give me your name, His Highness the Crown Prince." Chu Yunxi looked at Jun Lingyun expectantly. She was still a little uneasy, wondering whether he would give her this face.
When Jun Lingyun heard that she was going to give the painting to him, his heart was filled with joy. He was more joyful than winning a battle, but he tried his best to suppress the joy on his face.
"Just call, return to your heart."
Hearing his magnetic voice, Chu Yunxi smiled happily. She was really happy to return home. Her heart had returned, and she was also looking forward to his heart returning. He really understood.
"Okay, let's call it home."
Their eyes met, everything around them seemed to stop, and only the two of them were left, struggling in the whirlpool of time.
The emperor raised his eyebrows, wondering if he was really old and couldn't keep up with the ideas of young people.
The day before yesterday, Chu Yunxi knelt in front of him and begged him to terminate her engagement with the prince. He was thinking about whether to find another princess for the prince, so today, she came to show her affection in front of him.
The emperor didn't understand, so he simply shook his head and thought no more. Thinking too much gave him a headache, so he let the prince solve it himself.
"Your Highness, my maiden's song doesn't have a name yet."
Chu Yunxi climbed along the pole, and his playful eyes directly pleased Jun Lingyun, but in this beautiful atmosphere:
"Chu Yunxi, don't go too far. The prince brother is busy with many things and thinks about important court affairs. How can he have so much free time to give you a name?"
Xiao Feifei stood up and pointed at Chu Yunxi excitedly.
"I have free time now, and I am happy to help the future crown princess choose a name."
Jun Lingyun turned his dangerous eyes to the woman who interrupted his interaction with Xi'er. He was really annoying.
"Brother Prince..."
"Your brother is sitting next to you. If your eyes are bad, treat him. Don't call everyone brother when you see him."
Xiao Feifei still wanted to speak, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Jun Lingyun. She was about to cry immediately.
She sat back in disbelief. How could this happen? Does the prince hate her?
Duke Xiao Guo's face was ashen, what a disgrace! He doted on his daughter too much, and she must educate her well when she gets home. His old face has been completely disgraced today.
And the prince, who is so disrespectful in public, is just a young boy. He has been on the battlefield for a few years and thinks he is great. His years are not in vain.
Jun Lingyun ignored the dark clouds surrounding Xiao Guogong's family and turned to look at Chu Yunxi:
"That song is called," he paused for a moment, "Rebirth!"
As soon as these two words came out, Chu Yunxi was so frightened that she could hardly stand. She took a deep breath and her chest heaved. Why did he give this name? Did he discover something?
If he knew that she had treated him like that in her previous life and returned to him in this life, would he think she was shameless?
"Xi'er, Xi'er, are you okay?"
Her mind was so shaken that she didn't even hear her brother calling her. When she almost fell down, a pair of strong arms helped her up. Only then did she come back to her senses and see Jun Lingyun's handsome face.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want to go down and rest first?"
He asked with concern, nervous about her condition.
Chu Yunxi seemed to finally understand where she was and hurriedly withdrew from his arms:
"I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy for a moment. Just drink some water and I'll be fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
A palace maid came to help and helped Chu Yunxi back to her seat.
"Is everything okay? Why not just listen to the prince and go rest first."
Concubine Xiao suggested worriedly, but she didn't believe it. If she hadn't been there, she would have won the third competition.
She never wanted Chu Yunxi to get the first queen's bracelet. Wouldn't that secure her position as the crown princess?
How could Chu Yunxi not know Concubine Xiao's thoughts? She tried her best to calm down and replied firmly:
"My daughter is fine. Thank you to the noble concubine for your concern. My daughter has wasted her time for more than ten years and has never had the intention to compete. Therefore, I never cared about such a competition before."
This explained her previous mediocre behavior. She changed the subject:
"But today, I don't want the Queen's bracelet to fall by the wayside. This must be the wish of His Highness the Crown Prince."
She turned her head and looked at Jun Lingyun with tenderness. In this life, she would give him all the respect and care to repay the betrayal and kindness in the previous life.
There is one last competition, she will definitely get back the first queen's bracelet, for him!
