Chapter 127: Exposing Lu Qingheng at the Birthday Banquet
"Knowing that the Grand Master likes to collect ancient books, I specially searched for this Baichuanlu."
When the ancient book was handed over, Jiang Ningwan and Qin Wenli were both surprised and looked at each other.
Why aren't they Zhou Han's paintings and calligraphy? The brocade box is so long, it's clearly used to hold paintings and calligraphy.
He actually took out an ancient book!
Qin Chengqian didn't fall for it?
Although Grand Tutor Qin did not show much emotion, he still accepted the gift happily.
After a while, a rugged-looking man came forward to offer a gift. "I heard that Grand Tutor Qin has a large collection of calligraphy and paintings, but none of Zhou Han's. So I specially collected ten paintings of flowers! I hope Grand Tutor Qin likes them!"
When the ten paintings of flowers were unfolded, Grand Tutor Qin's face turned green.
Everyone noticed the change in Master Qin's expression.
Only the man who presented the gift kept introducing himself, which made Grand Tutor Qin's face even gloomier.
Finally, unable to suppress his anger, he slammed the chair and said, "Get out!"
After saying this, Grand Tutor Qin turned around angrily and went back to his room.
The courtyard suddenly became silent.
The man who delivered the gift was driven out by the people in the mansion.
He threw it out along with the calligraphy and painting.
Jiang Ningwan recalled her previous life, when it was also that man who gave her the painting and she was eventually kicked out.
Before that, no one knew that Grand Tutor Qin had a grudge against Zhou Han, and he burned every painting of Zhou Han he saw.
When Qin Chengqian saw this scene, he broke out in a cold sweat. Those calligraphy and paintings were originally what he wanted to give as gifts.
Half an hour ago.
He had just set out from the palace when his carriage was stopped by a beautiful figure as it passed through a quiet street.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to attend the Grand Tutor's birthday banquet, and the birthday gift he prepared was Zhou Han's calligraphy and painting?"
This was the first sentence Jiang Xiru said when she saw him.
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gives Zhou Han's calligraphy and paintings away, he will definitely be kicked out by Grand Tutor Qin."
Qin Chengqian didn't understand why and was very cautious, because he had bought this calligraphy and painting from someone else at a high price.
"How do you know? What do you want to do?"
Jiang Xiru said calmly, "The Zhou Han calligraphy and painting you were searching for was a trap deliberately set by the Third Prince."
"Your Highness, believe me, I can help you."
Jiang Xiru then took out the Baichuan Record and said, "If Your Highness doesn't want to lose face today, please exchange it for this."
"You can see whether what I said is true or not."
After saying that, Jiang Xiru got off the carriage directly.
He was still struggling until he entered the Grand Tutor's Mansion, but finally chose to give Baichuanlu and return Zhou Han's calligraphy and paintings.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiru was right.
After wiping the sweat from his palms, Qin Chengqian turned his head to look at Jiang Xiru, and happened to meet Jiang Xiru's eyes.
Jiang Xiru smiled.
Qin Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly, showing some interest.
Jiang Xiru saw his expression clearly. She lowered her eyes to drink tea, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Jiang Ningwan was able to use the knowledge he had foreseen after his rebirth to fight for power and climb up the ladder.
Why couldn't she?
She just didn't believe that since they were all reborn, she couldn't live a better life than Jiang Ningwan!
……
Although Grand Tutor Qin left the table in anger, his family greeted the guests and everyone took their seats one after another.
Jiang Ningwan was originally sitting at the next table with Jiang Zhouye, but at this moment, the son of Grand Tutor Qin came over and said, "Princess Chu, my father asked you to sit at the main table."
As soon as these words were spoken, people around turned their eyes to look at him.
Jiang Ningwan stood up and sat next to Qin Shuangchi.
Lu Qingheng, who was not far away, stared at her figure and couldn't help gnashing his teeth.
Even she is not qualified to sit there!
At this moment, all the guests have been seated and the dishes have been served.
Jiang Ningwan picked up the crab soup in front of her and started eating it. She finished it in just a few bites. "This crab soup tastes good."
The prince, Qin Beihuang and others at the same table did not pick up their chopsticks.
Qin Chengqian couldn't help but speak: "The King of Chu hasn't even started eating yet, so the Princess of Chu is being unruly."
Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled.
Before she could answer, Qin Shuangchi placed his bowl of crab soup in front of her and said, "Eat more if you like it."
This action startled both Qin Beihuang and Qin Chengqian.
"Uncle, this crab soup is precious. How can you give yours to her?"
Qin Chengqian was somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Shuangchi's attitude of not blaming him but instead doting on him.
Qin Shuangchi said calmly, "It's just a bowl of crab soup. Ning Wan, a martial artist, doesn't have the energy to do anything unless he's full."
"This king doesn't have so many rules."
Qin Chengqian didn't know what to say.
Qin Wenli smiled and said, "The emperor's uncle and his wife are so loving, why should we, the younger generation, bother to say anything?"
They were not meddling in other people's business, they just couldn't bear to see Jiang Ningwan sitting at the same table with them. However, the emperor's uncle always followed her lead and reminded her all the time that Jiang Ningwan was their elder.
Jiang Ningwan didn't say anything, just ate by herself.
It’s just a bowl of crab soup. She gives Qin Shuangchi acupuncture and treats his legs and boils medicine every night. How can she not have a bowl of crab soup from him?
The guests around also witnessed the love between the King of Chu and his wife.
There was some discussion after the meal.
"The King of Chu is so kind to the Princess of Chu. Why was there such a commotion at the General's Mansion?"
"That's definitely not Jiang Ningwan's problem. Look how loving and harmonious they are now."
"To be treated like this by the King of Chu, he must not be a bad person."
Those words just happened to penetrate Lu Qingheng's ears harshly.
She sat in the corner, but it seemed as if everyone was looking at her.
Just as she stood up to leave.
Grand Tutor Qin suddenly came back, and it seemed that his anger had subsided.
"We have invited a storyteller to our residence today. If you are interested, please come and listen."
Since Grand Tutor Qin said so, everyone naturally gave him face.
No one left the table.
Soon, the storyteller came to the yard and began to tell stories.
"Today we are talking about the story of a female general who intimidated the enemy."
When he saw the familiar figure, Lu Qingheng's face suddenly changed and he clenched his palms nervously.
How could it be him!
The storyteller of Yimingju.
Jiang Ningwan listened with great interest.
I listened to the storyteller telling the same story as last time in a rhythmic and excited manner.
"Just when the army was unable to defeat the enemy and the soldiers were exhausted, a figure rode into the battlefield with an imposing presence!"
“Everyone didn’t see who it was, they just saw that it was a woman!”
"The female general, with a majestic air, raised her spear and shouted at the enemy: 'Open the city gates and surrender!' Everyone looked closely and realized that the spear held the head of an enemy prince!"
The guests all listened attentively, and someone whispered, "Who is this talking about?"
"It seems to be Jiang Ningwan."
However, the next moment, the storyteller slammed the gavel and said, "This female general is General Lu Qingheng of our Daning Kingdom!"
As soon as this deafening sound came out.
The whole audience was shocked and looked towards Lu Qingheng.
Lu Qingheng's breath suddenly stopped and he clenched his sleeves nervously.
Grand Tutor Qin hadn't noticed anything was wrong yet. After listening to this, he looked at Lu Qingheng with admiration, "Who says women are inferior to men? General Lu has truly impressed me!"
Seeing that Grand Tutor Qin praised Lu Qingheng so much, others also followed suit.
"General Lu is a heroine."
"Such a remarkable feat should be recorded in history books!"
Everyone praised Lu Qingheng highly, but she was not happy at all.
This lie is like a bubble and can be burst at any time.
Qin Beihuang frowned, feeling confused and surprised. The person mentioned in the book was Jiang Ningwan, so how could it be Qing Heng?
He was about to speak.
boom--
Suddenly Jiang Zhouye slammed the table and stood up.
"What nonsense! This storytelling is clearly about Ning Wan. It was she who beheaded the King of Zhao, and it was she who brought the King of Zhao's head to force Canglong to surrender!"
"What does it have to do with Lu Qingheng?"
"Where did this storyteller come from? Why is he talking nonsense?"
