How could Xiao Yurong lie in front of him like that?

Xiao Yurong was fortunate that people out there said that he was a noble and virtuous person. He did not expect him to be such a suck-up!

The Crown Prince must have sent a message to him first. That was why he was so shameless to tell such a lie!

The others were half-believing and half-doubting.

Since Xie Qiao got eight first prizes earlier, it would be reasonable if she was good at landscape painting.

However, they had never thought that she would be able to beat Zhao Xuzhi.

It was because Zhao Xuzhi had been praised by the Emperor several times. His reputation was especially well-known.

"Your Highness, in order to chase me away, you actually did such a disgraceful thing with Master Xiao. Don't you think it's too much?" Zhao Xuzhi snorted, "How can my painting be worse than Young Lady Xie's?"
