I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 620: Minor Art?

Translator: Lord bluefire

As Luo Yan thought this, she took a few steps back.

Shen Ruojing saw the guilt and disappointment in her eyes, along with a sense of helplessness. She hadn’t quite understood Luo Yan’s thoughts at first, but she soon grasped her meaning.

For a woman in Country A, it was indeed very difficult to take that step forward.

She didn’t want Luo Yan to be disappointed.

So, Shen Ruojing narrowed her eyes.

After Luo Yan returned to her seat, she remained sullen and somewhat at a loss.

Many people had seen her earlier attempt.

At this moment, everyone began to praise Princess Daisy’s calligraphy.

“Princess Daisy’s writing is truly on par with men!”

“Princess Daisy’s writing has such style, and it looks somewhat familiar… What calligraphy model is this?’

“My goodness, Princess Daisy, your love for Chinese culture is so genuine, being able to write such beautiful calligraphy is simply incredible! ”

As everyone praised Princess Daisy, Luo Yan bit her lips, wanting to point out a flaw but unable to do so.

Her brother beside her mocked her, “Little Yan, I think you better not embarrass yourself! The reason Country Y is ruled by a queen is because their princesses are just as talented as men, even more so in some aspects. The women in our country, however, spend all their time in the inner palace and have limited exposure to the world.”

“Right, I never quite understood why His Majesty wanted to establish a Crown Princess. Isn’t it better for her to simply get married?’

“You don’t understand? His Majesty just wants an heir with his bloodline. The Crown Princess has given birth to two boys and a girl, so she’s just a medium for transition. When His Majesty gets old and her sons grow up, they can directly succeed the throne. It’s just a temporary strategy!”

“Even if it’s temporary, the Crown Princess should learn something to avoid embarrassing herself in such situations! Princess Daisy represents her country’s prestige, but what about our Princess, no, our Crown Princess? If she’s incapable, it will be really embarrassing!”

“I think it would be better to find a royal from the side branch to inherit the throne. At least, they have always been in the royal family and received a traditional education. In such moments, they can showcase one or two talents. Even if their writing is not as good as Princess Daisy’s, they should be able to do something else, right?”

“Are you talking about Prince Jing Yi? He is indeed excellent in every aspect…”

The officials from Country A began discussing in low voices, expressing their dissatisfaction with Shen Ruojing.

Shen Ruojing, listening to the murmurs around her, remained silent. Her gaze then fell on Jing Yi, the side branch’s royal mentioned by the others.

He and Shen Ruojing had the same grandfather, making them part of the same generation. However, their relationship was distant, so he was spared when the Queen Dowager carried out her massacre.

Everyone in the royal family was good-looking, and upon hearing these words, Jing Yi’s eyes revealed a hint of ambition.

As everyone discussed, Luo Yan’s father suddenly asked, “Prince Jing Yi, what do you think of Princess Daisy’s calligraphy?”

Being singled out, Jing Yi glanced at Shen Ruojing and smiled. “With the Crown

Princess here, it’s not my place to comment. I think it’s better to let the Crown Princess evaluate it first!’

Everyone’s eyes then turned to Shen Ruojing.

However, Shen Ruojing didn’t speak; she just looked at Daisy with a smile.

Princess Daisy didn’t want to become a tool in their dispute. After completing her calligraphy, she smiled and said, “I’ve heard that the Crown Princess is very proficient in music. I also happen to have some questions about the zither (a Chinese stringed instrument). I wonder if I could ask the Crown Princess for some guidance?”

Daisy must have learned something about Shen Ruojing before coming here. Her words provided a way out for Shen Ruojing.

Shen Ruojing raised her eyebrows.

Her gaze fell on the calligraphy in Princess Daisy’s hand. Looking at the familiar style, she smiled. “Alright, let me play the zither for everyone.”

After saying this, she waved to Ji Wuyou, who was standing behind her. “Bring a zither here.

Ji Wuyou looked at her worriedly. “Princess, your zither…”

But his words stopped abruptly, as he couldn’t disobey the Crown Princess’s order. Ji Wuyou accepted the command and went to fetch the zither.

Unfortunately, as soon as Ji Wuyou left, Jing Yi laughed. “Among the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, I actually think music is the least important. After all, it is merely to please people’s emotions and can only be considered a minor art. Crown Princess, do you agree with what I said?”

Shen Ruojing. “?”

She didn’t want to deliberately overshadow Princess Daisy’s calligraphy, as Daisy had shown her respect. If she defeated Daisy, wouldn’t Daisy’s life in Country Y become more difficult?

So when Daisy mentioned the zither, Shen Ruojing agreed. Her zither skills were superior to Daisy’s, and Daisy’s calligraphy would be perceived as better than hers. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone got along harmoniously?

However, at this moment, Jing Yi was really annoying. His words put both her and Princess Daisy on the spot.

Princess Daisy also understood Jing Yi’s intentions. Her face tensed up, looking a bit angry. ‘Music, chess, calligraphy, and painting are all part of China’s talents. How can one distinguish their importance or value? I love all aspects of Chinese culture.. As people of China, don’t you also love them?’
