The Captivating Crown Prince - Chapter 337

Chapter 337

Two very spacious tables were set up on the spacious grassland below the grandstand, and all kinds of brushes and ink were placed around the table. On the table, there was a piece of high-quality drawing paper.

Since they were competing in painting, both of them were required to draw a single painting in the remaining time.

The first one to take action was the Western Fragrance. Looking at the way she was holding the brush, Shang Xin knew that the Western Fragrance wasn’t speaking. She was really an expert in painting, and from the way she was holding the brush, anyone who knew would know.

Other than the fact that her calligraphy was good and her skills were not bad, the rest of her skills were not so good. The former Shang was a schemer all day, and she had never learned them or had the time to learn them. However, even though this was a weakness, it was still a straightforward and adorable advantage in the eyes of these men.

The crowd did not understand why Huan Mo Che would suddenly close his eyes. It was clearly the time of the competition, and painting required time, but just when everyone was about to open their mouths, Shang Tong’s cold gaze swept over those people, and no one dared to make a sound.

Shang Wuxin himself did not know what was going on in Huan Mo Che’s mind, but he always felt that Huan Mecha’s expression was somewhat gentle. At this time, Huan Mo Che opened his eyes and looked at Shang Wuxin who was on the stands. He lowered his head and picked up a brush, quickly starting to draw.

Normally, people painted very slowly, and because they had something in their minds, they needed to think about it. However, when they drew, it was as if the thing he wanted to draw was right in front of them, and it was something they remembered very well.

At this time, the current Illusory Mo Che was immersed in his own thoughts, so he did not see how attractive he was. The pen in his right hand kept on moving upstream, he was clearly drawing, but he could see everything with a glance.

Ximen Wanxin, who was painting, raised her head and saw this scene. The blue robed man smiled, his peach blossom eyes filled with gentleness as he looked at her painting. It made people want to turn into the painting in his hands and get his attention.

The Western Fragrance suddenly recovered from her shock. She was also surprised. At this moment, she was distracted by a man. This had never happened before. Furthermore, because the brush had been drawn for too long, the ink had already dripped onto the paper.

It wasn’t that there weren’t any men in the Western Paradise, but the men by her side would always lose interest in the Western Paradise within a short period of time after they obtained the sweet music. Furthermore, those men were also abandoned by the sweet music of the Western Regions, but the Western Paradise always felt that the illusory Mo Che was different.

Not daring to think too much into it, she quickly focused her attention on her own painting.

The first to put down the brush was Illusory Mo Che, who looked at the painting as if he wanted to reach out his hand and caress the painting. Fortunately, Illusory Mo Che’s hand stopped, but it also made people want to see what he was painting.

After a while, the melodious sound of the Western Region also stopped. Although she was not satisfied with her own painting, there was no other way around it. At that time, if she were to try again, it would not be enough, but when she thought of her ultimate move, she felt that she would definitely win.

Huan Mo Che took a few steps back, and the same went for the Western Paradise’s Scented Fragrance. At this time, a specialist had already come to place a beautiful painting of the Western Regions on a prearranged shelf, and a whole painting was displayed in front of everyone.

The painting was a set of purple and beautiful peonies, with hundreds and thousands of exquisite peonies blooming on top of the painting. The layer upon layer of peonies seemed to be so thick that one could even see the dewdrops on them, while the peonies were just like shy and timid women, displaying a different kind of beauty. The only regret was that there was a black dot on top of a red peony. Although a closer inspection revealed that it was a Flying Butterfly, the butterfly’s small size did not match up with the peony’s beauty, and instead reduced the beauty of the entire painting. It was a complete failure.

At this moment, the Divine Music of the Western Regions was waiting. However, after waiting for a while, it discovered that something was wrong. What was going on? Why didn’t the damned swarm of butterflies appear?

At this time, Western Fragrance suddenly turned to look at Prince Shang, who was sitting there. As expected, he raised his index finger towards the sky, and Western Fragrance looked at the sky and realized that there was nothing. Not even a butterfly.

Shang’s mood was not bad, since he had been paying attention to the scent of the Western Regions the whole time. Therefore, he had been paying attention to the scent of the Western Regions when they were looking for medicines and other things, and had sent people to investigate. As expected, the concocted medicines didn’t have any use, but they could be used as a butterfly. After receiving the news, Shang was not in the mood to retrieve a powder from Cheng Shi. While the eunuch was carrying the powder, he added the powder into the ink. This powder had no other uses, it only solved the original effects of the medicinal juice that could lead to butterflies.

She had never expected that Prince Shang would be so alert and alert, nor did she expect that they would be in the Kingdom of Shang. Her every word and action might be in the eyes of Prince Shang.

When the crowd first laid eyes on the painting, they were completely attracted to it, and the most surprised one of them was none other than Shang Wuxin. She did not think that the one above the painting was herself.

The man in the painting looked ethereal, as if he was living in a dream. This was not real, and the beauty was so breathtaking, yet he was also quiet like a silent mountain and river painting, only able to look at the painting from afar but not daring to approach it. It was just a painting, yet it was breathtakingly beautiful. It was breathtakingly beautiful, so beautiful that it made people feel ashamed of themselves.

Everyone stared at the teenager in the painting for a long time without moving their eyes away. Prince Shang was very beautiful like this, and although he was usually beautiful like this, no one dared to size him up like this at that time. Now that they saw him, they understood why both the Left Premier and General Leng were moved. Some people’s beauty, has nothing to do with gender, beautiful to your heart.

When he was painting, all of his concentration was on the painting, because he did not even think when Shang Wuxin had already started writing. But now seeing so many people obsessively staring at the painting, he felt somewhat dissatisfied.

“The victor has been decided!” Huan Mo Che was standing in front of the painting to block it. Seeing that the handwriting was completely dry, he directly took the painting and rolled it in his hands, giving no one the chance to covet it.

Indeed, if it was just a simple painting, it should have won in the Western Region, but no one would have thought that it would paint a person like that. No, it was not painting, but painstakingly painting, as if the young man in the painting was standing right in front of them.

“This is still a victory for Shang!” The other ministers followed suit. The emperor looked at Huan Mo Che with satisfaction, from this painting one could tell what he was thinking about his daughter.

“Princess Fragrance, would you like to admit defeat?” His posture was like water, but the Western Paradise’s sweet music still made him feel awkward. However, Western Fragrance couldn’t deny it, because anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the painting was much higher than her own. Although she couldn’t afford to lose, she couldn’t let others go back on their words either.

Western Fragrance took a deep breath of cold air, trying her best to suppress her anger. She then stood up with a smile, but anyone could see that her smile was somewhat forced. However, beauties were still beauties.

“Since this princess has said so, I definitely won’t deny it! The city in this princess’ hands is now Prince Shang’s. In a few days, the matter of the transfer will be settled with Prince Shang! ” The Western Paradise was so magnanimous and had won the goodwill of many people. But as for what plans the Western Paradise was plotting, only she herself knew.

“Haha, Princess Fragrance truly doesn’t lose to men!” “Please do not miss tonight’s banquet!” Emperor Shang praised.

“Of course not!” That smile was filled with certainty, and even Emperor Shang was somewhat surprised. Although he didn’t have much contact with the Western Paradise, Emperor Shang had seen a lot of people. Now that he saw the Western Paradise’s sweet smile, he felt that something was definitely going to happen tonight.

Many young masters of aristocratic families had long been unable to resist the urge to ride their horses and go hunting. Emperor Shang also went to rest, and Shang no longer had the heart to take the fearless back to the camp that he had prepared earlier. However, after a short while, he entered the hunting grounds.

“Crown Prince!” The moment he entered the tent, he immediately paid his respects and quickly reported the matter that he had investigated. “The person following beside Xiang Luan from the Western Regions is Qing Li, do you want this subordinate to deal with him!”

Shang didn’t think that Qing Li would actually be by the side of the Western Paradise’s Xiang Luan. The man who had made people feel that he was in danger that day should be from the Western Paradise’s Xiang Luan. It seemed that this matter was becoming more and more difficult to deal with, after all, the enemies in the open were much more terrifying than the ones in the dark.

“No need!” A Holly wouldn’t do much. The one who needed to be wary of was the one behind him.

Without any hesitation, he said, “Qing Li came into contact with Qiu Rongrong and the Autumn Smoke Robe!” Although Qiu Rongrong and Qiushui Fuyi no longer appeared in Shang’s unintentional life, there were still some in the Blood Slaughter Army who were secretly paying attention to the two of them. They did not expect that something had really happened.

Shang Wuxin suddenly squinted his eyes. What could they do together? It was just a split-second before Shang realized. Just as he was about to instruct Wu Dai to finish him off, he suddenly remembered the men around him. Shang Wuxin changed his mind.

“Say, do you think it’s about time for me to get their names?” Shang asked absent-mindedly.

After thinking for a while, he said, “The crown prince is not young anymore, and Prince Qian and General Leng have long reached the age of a father. Although this servant does not know what the crown prince’s plan is, the hearts of the several young masters here are real!”

Shang was not in the mood to ponder over the issue. He opened his eyes to the clear sky, his voice light and crisp, “Qing Li, no matter what they do, do not stop them!”
