Chapter 621 - 621: Jingjing’s calligraphy!!

Translator: Lord bluefire

Jing Yi wanted to say something else, but the head of the Luo family stepped forward. “Princess Daisy, don’t be angry. After all, we are not from China. Although our ancestors might be the same as Chinese people, times have changed.”

After saying this, the head of the Luo family laughed. “In our Country A, music is indeed considered a minor art. That’s why everyone is practicing calligraphy and painting. After all, we can’t rely on learning music to become actors, right?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In Country A, even celebrities were looked down upon, especially by those who thought highly of themselves.

As soon as the head of the Luo family finished speaking, the head of the Ji family also stood up. “Yes, in our Country A, calligraphy and painting are indeed more important than music and chess. It’s our tradition, after all, we are not from China…”

At this point, Princess Daisy couldn ‘t say anything more. She just took a deep breath, feeling puzzled.

Why didn’t the people from Country A stand up for their Princess, even when Karl from Country Y belittled her?

As Daisy thought this, everyone looked at Shen Ruojing:

“Crown Princess, do you know how to write with a brush?”

‘You grew up in China since you were young, so you should be more familiar with Chinese culture than us, right? Can’t you write with a brush? It’s actually normal if you can’t. It’s not a big deal.”

‘Yeah, it’s not a big deal if you can’t. Just learn the rules from the palace’s tutors in the future and don’t embarrass the people of Country A anymore!”

“You’ve made Princess Daisy laugh. Our Crown Princess grew up in a small town in China and didn’t learn much. However, our Prince Jing Yi received a proper royal upbringing…”

Jing Yi also laughed and said, “How about I write a piece of calligraphy too? Princess Daisy, could you help me evaluate it?”

Daisy, who had grown up in the palace of Country Y , was no stranger to intrigues and schemes. How could she not understand their intentions? She immediately looked at Shen Ruojing with concern for her situation.

At this moment, Shen Ruojing suddenly spoke, “Princess Daisy is a legitimate princess of Country Y. On what basis does Jing Yi want to compete with her?’

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s face became tense.

Shen Ruojing’s words were very clever. Jing Yi wanted to compete with Princess Daisy? He simply wasn’t qualified!

The heads of the Luo and Ji families were immediately annoyed and looked at Shen Ruojing. “Crown Princess, what do you mean? Are we from Country A just going to admit defeat?”

Others chimed in:

“Yeah, you don’t go to compete yourself and you also don’t let Prince Jing Yi compete? Are we just going to admit defeat?”

“That’s too much! This is diplomacy, and the Crown Princess is still trying to suppress Prince Jing Yi.”

“Is the Crown Princess’s face more important now, or is the country’s face more important?’

“We have people in our country who are good at calligraphy too…”

Jing Yi couldn’t help but laugh as he listened to their words. He said with a smile, “Everyone, don’t be angry. I think the Crown Princess doesn’t want me to participate because she is confident in herself, right? Then let the Crown Princess compete. ‘

The head of the Luo family accused Shen Ruojing, “Nonsense! Crown Princess,

I advise you to focus on the overall situation! Can you write calligraphy?” Shen Ruojing looked at him and sneered, “Who said I can’t?”

The head of the Luo family and others who were about to criticize her were suddenly silenced.

Shen Ruojing stood up.

She knew that she had to write something today; otherwise, it would be difficult to convince everyone in the future!

Originally, she didn’t want to suppress Princess Daisy, but as things had developed to this point, she couldn’t delay any longer.

She walked directly to where Princess Daisy was, took out a piece of paper, and said to Princess Daisy, “May I borrow this?” Daisy made room for her.

Daisy was open-minded and generous.

Seeing Shen Ruojing being “forced” to the stage by these people, she felt guilty and couldn’t help but say, “I wrote in cursive script, and different types of calligraphy cannot be compared.”

Her words hinted to Shen Ruojing that she could write in regular script or something like that, so there wouldn’t be a winner or loser.

Karl disagreed, “How could that be? Whether the writing is good or not, everyone will know once it’s written. I’m sure the Crown Princess understands, right?”

After saying this, Karl laughed again. “Moreover, the calligrapher whom Princess Daisy admires most is the Madman of China! His cursive script is all the rage in China recently. It is said that there are only nine authentic pieces, and even a single character is hard to come by. Princess Daisy has only seen photos and hasn’t been lucky enough to see the real thing.”

Jing Yi also laughed. ‘The Madman’s calligraphy is priceless and said to be collected by a few prestigious families. Although Princess Daisy has not seen his work, her cursive script resembles the Madman’s style, which is already Impressive.”

Seeing the two praising her again, Daisy wanted to explain something and help Shen Ruojing save face, but she saw that Shen Ruojing had already picked up the brush and started writing.

Daisy immediately closed her mouth, not daring to disturb her, fearing it would affect Shen Ruojing’s performance.

Even Luo Yan, who was sitting with the guests, became nervous. She stared intently at the center of the banquet, knowing that the Crown Princess wouldn’t win but still hoping for a miracle.

A few moments later, Luo Yan saw Daisy’s eyes widen in surprise when she looked at the characters Shen Ruojing had written!
