The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 186 2 painting

Bai Zhaozhao said nonsense in a serious tone, "Because when I went out a few days ago, I ran into a wandering Taoist priest. He said that there was a man next to me who was about to have his coming-of-age ceremony. That man had a calamity in his fate, and only I could resolve it!"

Tang Yanyan was stunned and was about to ask if he was a liar, but she immediately remembered that last year Bai Zhaozhao listened to a wild monk and took her and her father to burn incense outside the city. As a result, they did not worship the Buddha, but instead discovered the remnants of the Holy Light Sect and the underground palace.

This... Even if the wandering Taoist priest is a liar, will Bai Zhaozhao still turn his misfortune into blessing?

Tang Yanyan hurriedly asked, "What else did the Taoist priest say?"

Bai Zhaozhao blinked and pretended to ask, "He also said that this noble man is in great trouble and his life might be in danger! He also said that as long as I save him, my wish will come true!"

"and then?"

"Then of course I asked him what I could do to help resolve the disaster! He then took out this amulet and this ring and gave them to me, and charged me twenty... no, twenty thousand taels of silver!"

Tang Yanyan: ...Why do I still feel that Bai Zhaozhao was cheated? But fortunately, the cheating was not much, only twenty taels. No, no, looking at Bai Zhaozhao's expression, it is obvious that he believed it!

"Are you sure it's 20,000 taels?"

Bai Zhaozhao said solemnly, "That's right! Sister, help me think of a solution! Let the prince wear this...ring on his hand. Oh, and this...ah, this amulet blessed by a master! Only in this way can my wish come true!"

Tang Yanyan looked helpless and said, "Then tell me, what wish do you have that needs to be fulfilled? Is it possible that I, your sister, can do it without helping the prince resolve the crisis?"

Bai Zhaozhao was surprised and asked, "You have 20,000 taels of silver?"

Tang Yanyan:!!!

"You want 20,000 taels of silver from me? No, you mean you want the prince to give you 20,000 taels of silver?"

"Yes! After all, I have spent so much money on the prince! I have to take it back, right? Otherwise, why should I save his life when he has no relatives or friends?"

"You...be careful with your words! What do you mean by no relatives or friends?"

Tang Yanyan frowned, thinking about how to make Bai Zhaozhao's naive idea disappear.

But Bai Zhaozhao said quietly: "As long as it's done, I'll give you half!"

Tang Yanyan was shocked: "...Deal!"

royal palace.

According to the rules, the crown prince's coming-of-age ceremony should be a grand one, but the crown prince wrote a letter to the emperor, saying that the national treasury was not rich at the moment and even military spending was almost cut. It would be a waste to hold a grand ceremony, and he hoped that everything could be kept simple.

Emperor Yongkang was naturally happy and approved it with a stroke of his pen.

Of course, the Queen still dressed the Crown and Clothes that she had carefully prepared for the Prince, and sorted out all the gifts sent by the royal family and sent them to the East Palace.

After it was over, the prince asked someone to take out a box separately, which was exactly what Bai Zhaozhao had sent.

The prince took out the ring and the amulet and examined them carefully, then sneered, "The quality of these things seems to be far worse than mine. Could it be that Princess Zhaohe is dissatisfied with me?"

Rouping is even more ridiculous, telling lies without hesitation and betting on anything. Could it be that she wants me to embarrass myself in front of others in the future?"

After hearing this, an aide next to him thought for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, are you willing to wear it?"

The prince chuckled and said, "Wear it. After all, I promised Rouping. Even if I make a fool of myself, no one will dare to laugh at me. It's good to make Rouping happy. Otherwise, if I offend her, Uncle An will be unhappy."

The aide nodded and said, "Your Highness, I think so too. You may also take this amulet with you. When you meet Bai Zhuangyuan in the future, you can say that this is a gift from Princess Zhaohe."

The prince's eyes lit up. That's right, no matter whether it works or not, he can always give it a try. So he put the amulet in the purse hanging around his waist and put the plastic ring on his hand.

"Your Highness, look!" came the aide's exclamation.

The prince looked up and saw him holding a scroll, half-opened, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Your Highness, this is a landscape painting by the great scholar Yan from the previous dynasty! And it's an authentic one!"

The prince was surprised: "Authentic? Let me see!"

After a while, the prince ordered someone to send the painting to his study so that he could appreciate it from time to time.

The staff member asked tentatively: "Your Highness, as everyone knows, most of the original works of Yan Daru were buried with the dead, and only His Majesty and Old Prince Ying have collected a few.

Very few of them have been passed on to the public, and they have always been in short supply! Cheng Tanhua must have put a lot of effort into sending this painting, and I'm afraid he has a big ambition!"

The prince agreed, "Yes, but he hasn't visited me recently. I heard that he has retired from iron smelting and has not encountered any difficulties. What else can he ask for?"

The aide said, "Why don't you just ask the prince to come and ask? Since the valuable gift has been given, he will tell you what needs to be said."

"That's right! Then find some time to ask him to come and see me."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

As expected, Cheng Jiayu did have a request, but it was not difficult. That was to transfer him to the Ministry of Personnel, which was equivalent to exchanging one hundred taels of gold for one hundred taels of silver, so the prince readily agreed.

In the next few days, the prince admired the landscape painting every day. Suddenly, he found that the scroll was twice as big as usual and the paper was thicker.

Is it a fake painting?

No, that's not right. There is no flaw in the strokes and the signature. It must be an authentic work without a doubt!

After careful study, he finally discovered that this was actually a painting within a painting! There was another landscape painting underneath the one above!

After figuring it out, the prince was very excited. He immediately locked himself in the study and began trying to separate the two paintings. After working for an hour, he finally saw the true appearance of the second painting.

This is a picture of a beauty!

The moment he saw this beauty, the prince seemed to be hit by a ray of light, and he was plunged into great shock.

I saw the woman in red, with a beautiful face, long flowing hair and a graceful figure.

There is a mysterious aura in her eyes, as if she hides endless secrets. Her smile is bright and moving, as if it can illuminate the dark night.

Such a beauty, so stunningly beautiful, like a fairy descending from heaven, is unforgettable!

At this moment, the prince forgot to breathe and could even hear the sound of his own heartbeat accelerating.

Looking more closely, he discovered that although this painting of the beauty had no signature, its brushwork and characteristics were exactly the same as those of Yan Daru!

After a long time, the prince reframed the landscape painting and hung it up, and put the painting of the beauty into the secret compartment.

Cheng Jiayu said that she bought this painting from an old man by chance, so did he know that these were two paintings?

You probably don't know! If you knew, why wouldn't you separate?

It seems that the previous owner of this painting wanted to hide the beauty painting, so he covered it with another landscape painting.

This time he really got a great advantage. For a moment, the prince was extremely satisfied with Cheng Jiayu!

On the other side, Cheng Jiayu was also very satisfied because the system prompted him:

"Host, the lovesickness addiction item has been activated. The prince will gradually become obsessed with the woman in the painting. When his lovesickness becomes severe, the item will absorb his energy and spirit, and he will surely die."

"Well, it's very good, but this prop is a bit expensive."

"Host, this is because you are too poor. I have more expensive items here that can kill the opponent directly. In addition, I would like to remind the host that the Acacia item has a chance of failure!"

"understood!"
