The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 43 Framed, Gu Changgeng pleads for mercy

The birthday banquet was still in progress. Apart from Lin Qingwu playing a song, there were other ministers dancing with their daughters, but none of them were as amazing as Lin Qingwu.

Several princes, concubines, and even ministers in the palace have different thoughts.

Next is the birthday gift presented to the Empress Dowager, all kinds of rare treasures, rare treasures, too many to count.

Qin Zihao stepped forward, bent down to salute, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Grandmother, Zihao has prepared a birthday gift for you, I believe you will like it."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows with interest, "Oh? What kind of gift did Zi Hao prepare for Ai's family?"

Qin Zihao smiled without saying a word, clapped his hands, and several eunuchs came in together carrying a huge painting scroll.

"Zihao, what are you preparing for..." the queen mother asked suspiciously.

"Grandma Hui, my grandson knows that you have always liked to collect famous paintings, especially the paintings of Master Feng Qingyun. However, Master Feng Qingyun has a free and easy personality, travels all year round, and lives in no fixed place. It is difficult to find a painting by him. authenticity."

Qin Zihao paused, turned to look at the huge painting scroll, and said, "My grandson was lucky enough to get to know Master Feng Qingyun two months ago, and I asked him to paint this ten-mile peach forest for the emperor's grandmother. This painting is five feet long. It took Master Feng Qingyun more than a month to complete."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked. You must know that Feng Qingyun's paintings are priceless and hard to find.

The Empress Dowager couldn't hide her joy, she nodded slightly, and said with satisfaction: "Zi Hao has a heart, and he actually prepared the Ai family's birthday gift two months ago. Yes, the Ai family likes this birthday gift very much, thank you for your hard work."

"As long as the grandma likes it, the grandson will not find it hard."

The emperor laughed heartily, and said: "This ten-mile peach grove can be called a rare treasure. I don't know if the queen mother is willing to let me and everyone open their eyes together?"

"How can you not bear it, come and unfold the painting!"

The eunuch who was carrying the scroll responded with a "cha." and began to unfold the scroll carefully.

The ten mile peach grove is five feet long, it is impossible to spread it horizontally in the hall, it can only be spread vertically, spread out in the aisle between the banquets on both sides, from the position of the upper seat, to the outside of the Daming Palace.

The painting scrolls were fully unfolded, and the people in the hall were shocked. The painting was clear about the primary and secondary. The plum blossoms on each tree were delicate and beautiful. The slightly hazy painting method was fresh and elegant. The peach forest in the painting was like a fairyland.

"It's no wonder that it was written by Master Feng Qingyun, it really is a good painting!"

"Shocking, it's really shocking!"

All the ministers in the hall were full of compliments, Lin Qingqian glanced at it, and it was enough to see that this painting is a masterpiece. If it is placed in modern times, it will become an antique, and I don't know how valuable it is.

But after taking a look, she retracted her gaze embarrassingly.

She was puzzled, anyway, she couldn't figure it out, what's the use of sending such a long painting, it can't be hung up on weekdays, it can only be placed all day long, and it's inconvenient to look at?Only bookmark?
When the others were shocked, Lin Qingqian picked up the fruit wine and took a sip. It was sweet and sour, with a hint of alcohol, like a modern drink.

Thinking that after coming to this Beiming Kingdom, I never drank milk tea and cola, and secretly sighed in my heart.

Lin Qingqian didn't realize that Lin Qingrou looked at her with unkind eyes. She lowered her eyes to look at the glass of fruit wine in her hand, and then looked at the painting spread out in front of the desk. Lin Qingqian's arm.

Even though Lin Qingqian reacted quickly and clenched the wine glass in her hand when she jumped forward, the light red fruit wine in the glass was directly spilled out.

It happened to be splashed on the painting in the ten-mile peach forest.

There is not much fruit wine in the glass, but there are a large number of traces on the white rice paper, as if there is a flaw in the best jade in the rough.

Lin Qingrou exclaimed in surprise: "Third Sister...Ah! The Empress Dowager's painting!"

The people in the hall hadn't reacted yet, but thanks to Lin Qingrou's surprised voice, they could see the marks on the white rice paper at a glance.

The Empress Dowager's face darkened in an instant, and she said angrily, "Bold! How dare you pour wine on Ai's family's birthday gift! Come here, drag Ai's family out and give them a hard beat!"

Lin Qingqian's face turned pale, she kept paying attention to Mrs. Xu, worried that she would make a small move, but ignored Lin Qingrou beside her, never thought that she was still young and had such vicious thoughts, and she would kill her if she made a move.

Lin Qingqian hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The Empress Dowager, please calm down, the servant girl definitely did not do it on purpose, I beg the Empress Dowager to spare her life!"

The empress dowager didn't recognize Lin Qingqian, but she could tell from the seat that the concubine of the minister's family should be a concubine. Since she is a concubine, she naturally didn't need to save face, so she scolded in a cold voice: "What are you waiting for? Hit it hard! Fifty big boards, you can't miss it!"

Lin Qingqian's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the body of an 11-year-old girl in her fifties seemed determined to kill her.

The old lady's face turned pale, and she was stunned. The guards came forward to drag Lin Qingqian away, but she still couldn't react.

The atmosphere in the hall was cold and solemn, just as Lin Langtian was about to speak, a cold voice sounded one step ahead of him.

"The empress dowager calm down, today is the empress dowager's birthday, it is not appropriate to see blood, please forgive her for the sake of the young and ignorant third lady of the prime minister's mansion."

The Empress Dowager followed the sound and saw a thin young man in Tsing Yi kneeling in front of the desk near the gate of the palace. She frowned, and her eyes became even more angry.

"Which family are you from? How dare you openly contradict Ai's family!"

"Caomin is the son of Gu Yun, and he would never dare to contradict the empress dowager. It's just that Miss San is young, so it must have been an unintentional act. The empress dowager was merciful and spared her this time."

As soon as the words fell, the entire hall was quiet, and the appearance of Gu Yun's name was even more shocking than someone who dared to pour wine on the Empress Dowager's birthday gift.

The empress dowager who was furious was also stunned.

After a while, the emperor asked in a deep voice: "Are you the son of General Gu? Gu... Chang Geng?"

"Back to the emperor, yes, Caomin is the son of Gu Yun, Gu Changgeng."

"Come forward and let me see."

"Yes."

Gu Changgeng was handsome and handsome, with a calm expression on his face. He walked steadily step by step. When he walked in front of the emperor, he knelt down and said, "The grass people kowtow to the emperor."

Complexity flashed in the emperor's eyes, he seemed a little uncomfortable, pursed his lips, and said: "Get up, I haven't seen you for a while, unexpectedly you have grown into a handsome young man, I almost can't recognize you, all these years , is it okay in the prime minister's mansion?"

As soon as the words fell, Xu's and the old lady's hearts tightened, and even Lin Langtian tightly clenched the hands in his sleeves.

"Caomin is in the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

Lin Qingqian was kneeling beside her, the guards had already let go of her, she was completely panicked by the fright just now, but now she has calmed down, hearing the emperor's question, her eyes flashed brightly.

She interrupted Gu Changgeng's words: "Back to the emperor, brother Changgeng is naturally very good in the prime minister's mansion, and his father treats him like a son, but because he is not in good health, he can't go to the Imperial College to go to school, so he specially invited a private school teacher to teach in the mansion. Grandmother and others dote on Brother Chang Geng so much that the courtiers often eat it."

The emperor was dubious, his eyes flicked back and forth between Lin Qingqian and Gu Changgeng.
