Chapter 20 The Mark of He Gui

Seeing that the Crown Prince had shown up, Sheng Yulan felt that it was extremely shameful for her student to do such a dirty thing. She was eager to distance Qingyu from her.

Sheng Yulan stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, please take a look. Song Qingyu has always been ignorant and incompetent. She has never listened carefully to any of the workers' lessons in the academy, and she has never handed over the homework that I arranged. On the contrary, every time Yuanzhu handed over homework on time, the style and embroidery technique of it are somewhat similar to this Sunset Glow Painting of the Capital. Therefore, I can tell at a glance that this embroidered work is made by Yuanzhu."

With Sheng Yulan's words, the case of Song Qingyu stealing her sister's work could almost be concluded.

How dare someone cheat in the embroidery competition that his mother valued so much? Chu Chengxuan looked fiercely in the direction that Zheng Yan was pointing.

However, he saw that Song Qingyu, who had become the topic of conversation, was neither humble nor pushy. She looked at him calmly.

When Chu Qiuge saw such a beautiful lady for the first time, he thought to himself that if she was targeted by his elder brother, she would be seriously injured even if she didn't die. So he kindly explained for her, "Maybe there is a misunderstanding. Maybe there was a mistake during the embroidery."

However, An Ying Ran stepped forward and said, "How could we have taken it wrong? Everyone knows that First Miss Song is untalented and immoral. Even if ten fingers are pierced, she can't make a complete embroidery. How can such a person mistakenly think that she has an embroidery to hand over? She is obviously intentional!"

An Ying Ran sounded arrogant. After all, even she could only be ranked at the bottom, but Song Qingyu won the first place. If An Ying Ran could drag Song Qingyu down, she would be able to get one place ahead and not be at the bottom.

Hearing the two people slandering her, Song Qingyu finally moved. She stepped forward unhurriedly, but she was not in a hurry to refute. Instead, she asked Sheng Yulan unhurriedly, "Can you be sure that this embroidered picture is made by the Yuanzhu just by the similar embroidery method?"

Sheng Yulan glanced at her with a look of disdain. "I've taught you for three years, so I know your skills and embroidery style very well."

Song Qingyu was amused. "Then what do you think about the painting of hundreds of birds flying towards a phoenix is quite different from Yuanzhu's usual style?"

Everyone turned to look at the embroidery that Song Yuanzhu had handed over. Although this painting was exquisite, it was indeed too ingenious. The craftsmanship was not as delicate as the painting of the Sunset Glow Painting of the Capital. Originally, they did not pay attention to it. At this time, they would be able to tell which was better after comparing the two. If say both two works belong to Song Yuanzhu, it would be impossible to convince the public.

Sheng Yulan was stunned and said awkwardly, "The Yuanzhu embroidered work in the past was agile and light. Today, it's slightly better. It focuses more on skills and light on spirit. It's also okay."

After saying that, Sheng Yulan looked at Qingyu with a little sarcasm in her eyes. Suddenly, she felt that she had been stripped naked. Song Qingyu continued to question Song Yuanzhu, "Sister, do you know who wrote the poem 'Views of the Capital from Sanshan Mountain'?"

Everyone was confused. Song Yuanzhu was also stunned. "I'm talking about you stealing my embroidery. Don't change the topic. What do you mean by 'Views of the Capital from Sanshan Mountain'? Does it have anything to do with this embroidery?"

Song Qingyu sneered and thought, ["She is a real idiot."]

However, Chu Yifeng could not hold it in any longer. The lady he liked had been attacked and humiliated in front of him again and again, but Song Yuanzhu had not even read his poems!

"This Sunset Glow Painting of the Capital was clearly embroidered according to the scene described in He Gui’s poem 'Views of the Capital from Sanshan Mountain'. He Gui wrote this poem when he was appreciating scenery of the capital. Now that Second Miss Song has never heard of this poem, she shamelessly said that this embroidery painting was made by her. It's ridiculous!"

Hearing the Ninth Prince's words, the scholars nodded one after another. Just now, when Song Qingyu read this poem, they felt something different. It could be seen that this embroidery was made by Song Qingyu.

Song Yuanzhu did not know about this. She had heard of He Gui before, but she did not know about this poem. At this moment, she was caught between a rock and a hard place. She stammered, "Although I don't know this poem, what I embroidered is the beautiful scenery in my mind..."
