Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 346 Destruction
The princess of Jinyang raised her lips slightly, and said with a smile, "The Su family accounts for half of the world's collection of books. Some rare and rare books are rarely seen by others. I am afraid that the princess of Zhennan Wang Shizhen is not uncommon. Mrs. Su likes calligraphy and painting the most. The Crown Princess must have learned a lot, just let us hear how you comment on this painting."

Before Ming concubine could speak, Chu Yu said, "Sister-in-law Si, everyone is still waiting, so don't refuse."

It's not just a few comments, it's not a difficult task, and Ming Yu stepped forward, and those people automatically moved out of the way.

Just as Ming concubine was approaching the painting, a maid shouted, "Princess Heng is here!"

Everyone's eyes turned to look behind, only to see the servant girl walking over with the help of Princess Heng, dressed in palace attire, graceful and luxurious, forgetting the commonplace.

Ming Yu also subconsciously glanced over there. With just this one glance, her ankle was hit by something, she staggered forward, and bumped into Chu Yu. Chu Yu and Princess Jinyang showed the painting, but it was too late to let go. The painting that took everyone's breath away was torn in two...

Being bumped suddenly, Chu Yu let out a scream, which attracted everyone's eyes.

The painting he was looking at was torn in two, each of them gasped and broke into a cold sweat for Concubine Ming.

Princess Jinyang's face was as ugly as if she had fallen into a latrine, full of fear and uneasiness, while the maid behind her was bewildered, her voice trembling, and she said incoherently, "What should I do, this is a birthday gift from the queen mother to the prince!"

Ming concubine knew that it was not easy to attend the banquet at Prince Jin's Mansion, and they dug a hole to wait for her, but she fell into the hole dug by others, because the banquet hadn't started yet, so she shouldn't cheat her in the middle of the banquet ?
Chu Yu held half of the painting in her hand, just like holding a hot potato, she said angrily, "Sister-in-law Si!"

She walked over quickly and stuffed the half of the painting into Ming Concubine's arms, Ming Concubine was responsible for the disaster, and Ming Concubine had to bear it.

Over there, the servant girl helped Wei Mingrou come over, looked at Jinyang County Master and Ming Concubine's half of the painting in their hands, both of them had ugly faces, and they knew a little bit in their hearts, but they still pretended not to know and asked, "What's the matter?" What's wrong?"

The lady on the side hurriedly said, "Prince Zhennan's concubine accidentally bumped into Miss Chu, and destroyed the painting that was rewarded by the Queen Mother and King Jin as a birthday gift."

Wei Mingrou let out an ah, looked at Ming Concubine and said, anxiously and blamed, "Why are you so careless?"

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Ming concubine is the eldest sister of Wei Mingrou's direct relatives, she must protect Ming concubine, she looked at Jinyang Princess and Prince Jin's concubine and said, "My eldest sister definitely didn't do it on purpose... ..."

Princess Jinyang said in a crying voice, "Father will definitely scold me to death."

The implication is that if it wasn't intentional, then she won't be compensated, and she will be scolded because of it?

The eyes of those ladies and gentlemen looked at Ming concubine with blame. She messed up a good banquet before it even started, and ruined the painting that the Queen Mother rewarded King Jin. How could Princess Jinyang have the mood to entertain them?
Not far away, the young masters of the aristocratic family learned that the princess of Jinyang had brought the painting that the Queen Mother had awarded to the King of Jin for everyone to appreciate. When they heard the news, they saw two pieces of the painting and felt sorry.

Chu Yu gave Ming Concubine a dark look, walked up to Princess Jinyang and said, "Now that the painting is ruined, I wonder if it can be repaired?"

Xu Jiao, the eldest daughter of Cheng Guogong's mansion, said with a cold smile, "Even if the repair is good, the value of this painting will be greatly reduced if the white jade is free, not to mention that it is a gift from the Queen Mother, and it is a birthday gift for King Jin. , not only precious but also a wish of the Queen Mother, how can it be just repaired?"

Chu Yu said angrily, "I didn't destroy the painting on purpose, and I believe my fourth sister-in-law didn't push me on purpose. No one is happy when the painting is destroyed. I can't drag my fourth sister-in-law out and chop her head off."

Ming concubine is the concubine of Prince Zhennan, no matter how angry the Queen Mother and King Jin are, it is impossible to kill her. No one present would doubt this.

Chu Yu looked at Ming Concubine, stomped her feet anxiously and said, "Sister-in-law Si, you should say something!"

Ming concubine's clear eyes swept across Chu Yu's face, Chu Yu's spine suddenly went cold, and the eyes that were staring at Ming concubine quickly moved away, and when he realized it, he felt annoyed, it was her who ruined the painting, why did she Have a guilty conscience? !

Since the accident, Ming Concubine has been silent, she is sorting out information about this painting, which is a birthday gift from the Empress Dowager to King Jin.

If Princess Jinyang dares to say that, it means that this matter is not fake.

Ming concubine glanced at the painting in her hand, rolled it up slowly, said calmly and indifferently, "Sorry, I was distracted just now."

After such a long time, the hidden guards did not find out the person who hit her ankle, and it seemed that they didn't notice it either. She could only survive the difficulty by herself.

Everyone was speechless, what time is this, it's none of their business, they all broke into a cold sweat for her, how could she still be distracted?
It's really not worthy of sympathy, and the blame in everyone's eyes is even worse, only Ming concubine said, "I seem to have seen this painting somewhere."

Xu Jiaohe laughed, "Have you seen it? Such paintings are unique, how could you have seen them before? Are you trying to use a fake painting to prevaricate Princess Jin, or are you saying that this painting is fake?"

Ming concubine gave Xu Jiao a sideways look, "You also think this portrait is fake?"

Xu Jiao frowned, "I didn't say that!"

Ming concubine said in a daze, "I remembered, I saw it in Xianggong's study, Xi'er, you go and ask the coachman to go back to the study of the palace to bring the paintings, go and come back quickly."

Xi'er is ignorant, there are no paintings in the study, even if he asks Shizi to paint temporarily, it will be too late.

However, Xi'er had no choice but to follow Ming's concubine's orders, and took the half-painting that Ming's concubine handed over, and Xi'er left quickly.

Ming concubine's expression is elegant, as if she was not the one who tore up the painting. Her expression made those ladies and young masters of the family puzzled. The concubine of the prince of Zhennan said that she had seen the exact same painting in the study of the prince of Zhennan. At least one of these paintings is fake.

It’s not that there are no fake paintings in the palace. In the previous dynasty, there was a case where the father-in-law replaced the real one with a fake one. The emperor didn’t know, and rewarded the painting to the envoys of the neighboring countries, and was finally exposed on the spot, losing all face.

Prince Jin's concubine blamed herself, "It's all my fault for talking too much, if I hadn't come just now, the painting is probably still in the study of the princess, everyone is happy to come to the banquet, so let's sit down and rest for a while. "

Princess Jinyang twisted the embroidered handkerchief and said, "I don't have the mood to care about other things."

This is waiting for the servant of Zhennan Prince's Mansion to deliver the painting.

The concubine of Prince Jin ordered the servant girl, "Let the kitchen bring more cakes. Everyone waits while eating. I'll explain to my concubine so that she won't get angry."

One is not in the mood, the other is angry, and they are all telling Ming concubine that Jin Wangfu will not be kind to this matter.

Princess Qingyi walked up to Concubine Ming and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, it really won't work, let the emperor come forward, and it will definitely be settled."

Is there any need to bother the emperor with such a trivial matter?
