"The emperor is here!" The sharp voice spread throughout the banquet, Lan Younian really couldn't stand such a sharp voice, it was too sharp and piercing.
And Fengyixuan also saw Lan Younian frowning lightly, so when the emperor stepped into the palace, he found that his six sons were coldly looking at his father-in-law beside him, his eyes were full of murderous intent, wishing to kill his close body on the spot father-in-law.
The emperor was at a loss and didn't understand what happened to this son who didn't act according to common sense, but now was not a good time to ask questions, so he restrained his expression and said to the crowd, "Everyone's family is safe!"
Because it is an ordinary banquet, there is no need to kneel and salute, but the usual etiquette is still acceptable to Lan Younian, it seems that in the future, I have to find a way to not have to kneel and salute like Fengyixuan, otherwise if there is any important banquet in the future, I will It's too hard to hide.
Emperor Fengxuan looked at everyone at the banquet, and then glanced at the two sons he cared about the most, and found that although his six sons couldn't see anything on the surface, their eyes were focused on the third daughter of Lanfu , the eyes are full of deep affection.
The emperor sighed slightly in his heart, this son of his is really an infatuated kind.
"Today, all the nobles' family came here to look at the calligraphy and paintings left by the predecessors, and let everyone share their own experience. There are many talented men and women in my country, and I can learn from them today!" The emperor looked at his house after speaking. The servants below, Fengguo can be said to be developing very well, Emperor Fengxuan is very satisfied.
Lan Younian looked at the superior Feng Xuan, in fact, in some respects, Feng Xuan was a very good emperor, he was not extravagant and he did not have the serious suspicions of many emperors, he was diligent in governing and caring for the people, and he had the determination of a superior, Today's Fengguo can be like Antai, and Fengxuan is also governed very well.
The emperor looked at the whole banquet arrangement and nodded in satisfaction, and said to the queen who was sitting next to him, "This banquet was well organized, the queen has worked hard!"
The queen smiled solemnly, "All concubines should do!"
This is how husbands and wives in the palace get along, not even respecting each other like guests, because the look in the eyes of the emperor Feng Xuan was cold when he praised the queen, Lan Younian felt a little embarrassed watching such a scene, Feng Yixuan in such a situation I'm afraid it's chilling to grow up in the environment.
The eunuchs in the palace took down the black cloth, and what was presented to everyone was a series of precious calligraphy and paintings of famous masters.
Most of the people here are quite talented people, of course they are very envious of these rare calligraphy and paintings of famous artists, and they all walked to the calligraphy and painting screens one by one and began to admire those calligraphy and paintings.
And people who like these more, such as Taifu He, are constantly praising the wisdom of the ancestors. Lan Younian also followed Lan Jianjun and stood in front of a picture of a horse. Lan Younian had to admit these imitated calligraphy and paintings Really can almost be faked, but...
Lan Younian has already discovered that some civil servants are a little suspicious, and some calligraphy and paintings are still in their own mansion, slightly different, and they are more or less skeptical, but looking at the emperor and queen sitting in the upper position, no one dares to question, After all, this matter is quite big, and many people dare not doubt the emperor who rules life and death because of the doubts in their hearts. Although they feel distressed without a painting, they will not lose their lives.
Lan Younian casually walked up to Mrs. He. Mrs. He, who was frowning to observe the calligraphy and painting, saw Lan Younian's mood improved a lot in an instant, and asked involuntarily, "Grandpa always hears people praising you for your talent. It’s good to see more today!”
Although Taifu He thinks that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue, but if this matter falls to her granddaughter, Taifu He feels proud, even when he is playing chess with the emperor, he hears the emperor's praise even though he says I speak with humility, but with joy in my heart.
Lan Younian nodded obediently, and then saw that Mrs. He found something wrong with the calligraphy and painting and was about to leave to admonish the emperor, but Lan Younian suddenly took Mrs. He's arm like a good child, She said delicately, "How is grandpa today?"
Although Taifu He discovered the problem of calligraphy and painting and wanted to report it to the emperor, he was originally an upright character, but now seeing how the granddaughter he had been looking for for many years cared for him as an old man, he was more or less gratified in his heart. The old bones are still strong, you, if you have nothing to do, come to He Mansion and see grandpa!"
Although it is an appreciation meeting, there are only a few people who really appreciate it, and most of them are just chatting about things or trying to win over powerful officials, so there is nothing wrong with the conversation between Taifu He and Lan Younian, and it also makes many people think that Lan Younian Nian is well-behaved and sensible.
"Okay, when the time comes, Grandpa, don't dislike Nian'er's wordy words!" Lan Younian said coquettishly.
"You, you're just a ghost!" Taifu He's kindness towards Lan You, which also made many people see clearly that this daughter of the Lan Mansion is not only favored in the Lan Mansion, but now she is also very afraid in the He Mansion. favored.
Lan Younian deliberately chatted with Mrs. He about something, even if he wanted to debunk these fake calligraphy and paintings, he couldn't let his grandfather come, because isn't there someone ready-made
Lin Guifei deliberately pretended to be very talented and looked up at those calligraphy and paintings carefully. She deliberately stood beside a more talented minister.
"Hey? Isn't this an ancient painting? Why is the paper so new?" Concubine Lin Gui said deliberately, her surprised voice was a little louder, so many people could hear it.
No one reminds others not to think so, but now after Concubine Lin Gui reminded many people to find the problem, although these calligraphy and paintings have a charm, but the ancient calligraphy and paintings are all drawn on paper decades or hundreds of years ago, Where is it so brand new
And those ministers who knew better started talking about it because someone made a start. After carefully observing the calligraphy and paintings, they all found that these things were fakes.
The queen sighed secretly when Concubine Lin said this, she didn't expect that the first person she discovered was Concubine Lin, a woman who could only compete for favor but had no talent.
There were so many discussions below, how could the emperor not notice it, so he asked, "What's the matter?"
Taifu He was about to say something accurately, but Lan Younian held his grandfather still. Taifu He didn't expect his granddaughter to have such great strength. He looked at Lan Younian in puzzlement, but found that Lan Younian was slightly shook his head.
Taifu He was startled, he is not some ignorant old man, instead he has produced several emperors under his teaching, now he took a closer look at his granddaughter and found the deep coldness in Lan Younian's eyes, Taifu He slightly Startled for a while, he didn't say anything.
Lan Younian was slightly relieved when she saw that her grandfather didn't say anything anymore, she was really afraid that this upright grandfather would recklessly expose the queen's plot, so it would be useless to act like Concubine Lin.
Concubine Lin Guifei walked under the emperor and saluted, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is because there is something wrong with these calligraphy and paintings. All the adults are discussing that these calligraphy and paintings are not the original calligraphy and paintings!"
The queen glared at Concubine Lin Gui, but Concubine Lin Guifei not only did not back down, but returned a provocative look, now that she has no son, what is she afraid of.
Looking at Concubine Lin's provocative eyes, the queen knew that Concubine Lin might have done this on purpose, but how did Concubine Lin know? But no matter what, this Concubine Lin Gui will accept her revenge if she dares to do so!
"Teacher He, come and take a look!" The emperor was also taken aback when he heard it, but he was the emperor after all so he wouldn't just listen to a few words from a concubine, so he asked his teacher Taifu He to come and see him. His talent is recognized by everyone, so it is fair.
Lan Younian let go of Taifu He's hand, she knew that this was the time for her grandfather to be honest, so even if grandfather said that the Queen's faction would not blame He's for the matter, and the culprit, the Queen was afraid He is already thinking about Concubine Lin Gui.
Taifu He walked up to several pictures of calligraphy and looked at them with some older officials, and then Taifu He said, "Report to the emperor, this calligraphy and painting are indeed fakes!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar. It was just a suspicion just now, but now it is a fact that so many civil servants are discussing together. Now the calligraphy and painting that the ministers came to appreciate turned out to be fakes. Isn’t this a joke? And many mansions that presented calligraphy and paintings are even more troubled. How could they expect that the calligraphy and paintings would be returned to the mansion intact every year. How could the calligraphy and paintings now become fakes
"Queen, tell me what's going on?" the emperor yelled at the queen with a stern tone.
The empress slowly stood up from her high position, even so her empress demeanor did not change a bit, "Reporting to the emperor, it is the concubine's fault!" The empress knew that this matter could not be concealed now, the more she concealed, the more angry the emperor would be, In the end, I'm afraid it will be out of control.
After listening to what the queen said, everyone knew that these calligraphy and paintings were indeed fakes. Thinking that they had watched the fakes for so long, many people were dissatisfied, and they felt that it was even more important for a queen to use fakes to deceive her courtiers. Not like a queen.
"Empress, empress, I entrusted you with the appraisal meeting. Is this the result of your organization? Just use these fakes to fool me?" The emperor walked up to the calligraphy and pictures, and suddenly knocked them all down. "You Don't you want to be the queen anymore?"
When these words came out, not only the queen was taken aback, but even many people were wondering what the emperor meant, whether they wanted to abolish the empress.
The queen knelt down on the ground, "Please ask the emperor to check clearly, the concubine did not use these fakes on purpose, the real calligraphy and paintings were stolen by unknown thieves who sneaked into the palace a few days ago, and the concubine had no choice but to come out like this." Bad move!"
The queen said that although she has an unshirkable responsibility, it is understandable.
But will Feng Xiaqi and others let her pass this level so easily? of course not!
