Chapter 43

The birthday banquet is still in progress. In addition to Lin Qingwu playing a song, there are other ministers offering dances, but they are not as amazing as Lin Qingwu.

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

The next is the birthday gift to the Empress Dowager. There are countless rare and precious treasures.

Qin Zihao stepped forward, bowed down and said with a smile, "grandma Huang, Zihao has prepared a birthday gift for you. I'm sure you'll like it."

The Empress Dowager was interested and raised her eyebrows. "Oh, what kind of gift did Zihao prepare for the mourning family?"

Qin Zihao smiled but said nothing, clapped his hands, and several eunuchs Qi Li came in carrying a huge painting scroll.

"Zihao, what you prepared is..." the Empress Dowager asked suspiciously.

"Grandma Hui, your grandson knows that you have always liked collecting famous paintings, especially master Feng Qingyun's paintings. However, master Feng Qingyun has a free and easy personality. He travels abroad all year round and has no fixed place to live. It is difficult to find an authentic work by him."

Qin Zihao paused, looked back at the huge scroll and said, "my grandson had the honor to get acquainted with master Feng Qingyun two months ago. Please ask him to draw this ten mile peach forest for the emperor's grandmother. The painting is five feet long and took master Feng Qingyun more than a month to complete."

As soon as the voice fell, four people were surprised. You know, Feng Qingyun's paintings are invaluable and hard to find.

The Empress Dowager could not hide her joy, nodded slightly and said with satisfaction: "Zihao has a heart. He has prepared the mourning birthday gift since two months ago. Yes, the mourning family likes this birthday gift very much. It's hard for you."

"If only grandma liked it, her grandson didn't feel hard."

The emperor laughed heartily and said, "this ten mile peach forest can be called a rare treasure. Can my mother be willing to open my eyes with you?"

"How reluctant, come and unfold the painting!"

The eunuch carrying the painting axis said "chirp." Start carefully unfolding the scroll.

The ten mile peach forest is five feet long. It can't be spread horizontally in the hall. It can only be spread vertically in the middle aisle of the banquet on both sides. It is pulled from the upper seat to the door of the Daming Palace.

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

"Bukui is written by master Feng Qingyun. It's really a good painting!"

"Shock, it's really shocking!"

Lin Qingqian glanced at the praise of the officials in the hall. It was enough to see that this painting was a master's work. If it was put into modern times, it would become an antique. I don't know how valuable it is.

But with one look, she took back her eyes.

She wondered. Anyway, she didn't understand. She couldn't hang up such a long picture on weekdays. She could only put it all day. It's inconvenient to watch. What's the role? Only collection?

When others were shocked, Lin Qingqian picked up the fruit wine and took a sip. It was sour and sweet, with a hint of wine smell, like a modern drink.

He sighed at the thought that he had never drunk milk tea and coke since he came to Beiming country.

Lin Qingqian didn't realize that Lin Qingrou didn't look well at her. She looked down at the wine glass containing fruit wine in her hand, and looked at the picture spread out in front of the desk. She sneered in her heart. While everyone didn't pay attention, she forced to hit Lin Qingqian's arm.

Even though Lin Qingqian reacted quickly and clenched the wine cup in his hand when he rushed forward, the light red fruit wine in the cup poured out directly.

It happened to pour on the painting in the ten mile peach forest.

There was not much fruit wine in the cup, but there was a large mark on the white rice paper, like a defect in the best jade.

Lin Qingrou exclaimed, "three sisters... Ah! The Empress Dowager's painting!"

The people in the hall have not yet reacted. Thanks to Lin Qingrou's surprise, they can see the traces on the white rice paper at a glance.

The Empress Dowager's face sank in an instant and said angrily, "bold! How dare you pour wine on the mourning family's birthday gift! Come on, drag out the mourning family and beat 50 big boards again!"

Lin Qingqian's face turned white. He always paid attention to Xu's family and worried that she would make small moves, but he ignored Lin Qingrou beside her. He never thought that she was still young and had such a vicious mind that she would kill her as soon as she took a shot.

Lin Qingqian quickly knelt down and kowtowed. "The Empress Dowager calmed down her anger. The minister and daughter did not do it on purpose. Please forgive her life!"

The Empress Dowager didn't recognize Lin Qingqian, but from her seat, she could see which minister's concubine should be. Since she was a concubine, she naturally didn't have to save face. She scolded coldly, "what are you waiting for? Come on, drag out and fight hard! Fifty big boards can't be less!"

Lin Qingqian's forehead was covered with cold sweat, fifty big boards, and the body of an 11-year-old girl was afraid to be determined to kill her.

The old lady turned pale and was stunned. The bodyguard came forward to drag Lin Qingqian away. She still couldn't react.

The atmosphere in the hall was cold and solemn. Lin langtian was about to speak. A cold voice sounded first.

"The Empress Dowager calms her anger. Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday. It's not suitable to see blood. Please spare her for the sake of the three young ladies of the prime minister's house."

The Empress Dowager looked down at her voice and saw a thin young man in blue kneeling in front of the desk near the door of the temple. She frowned and her anger was even worse in her eyes.

"Which family are you? How dare you openly contradict the mourning family!"

"Cao min is the son of Gu Yun. He will never dare to contradict the Empress Dowager. It's just that miss three is young. She must have done it unintentionally. The Empress Dowager is merciful and spare her this time."

As soon as the voice fell, the whole hall was quiet. It was more shocking than someone dared to pour wine on the Empress Dowager's birthday gift. The appearance of Gu Yun's name.

The Empress Dowager in her rage was stunned.

After a long time, the emperor asked in a deep voice, "are you the son of general Gu? Gu... Changgeng?"

"Back to the emperor, Cao min is Gu Yun's son, Gu Changgeng."

"Come and show me."

"Yes."

Gu Changgeng was beautiful and handsome. He looked indifferent. He walked steadily step by step. He went to the emperor and knelt down. "The grass people knocked at the emperor."

The emperor's eyes flashed a touch of complexity, which seemed uncomfortable. He sipped 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 it. How are you in the prime minister's house these years?"

As soon as the voice fell, Xu and the old man tightened their hearts, and even Lin langtian quietly clenched his hand in his sleeve.

"The grass people are in the prime minister's house..."

Lin Qingqian knelt beside her. The bodyguard had released her. She was completely frightened just now. Now she has calmed down. She heard the emperor's question and flashed a light in her eyes.

She interrupted Gu Changgeng's words: "back to the emperor, Chang Geng's brother is naturally very good in the prime minister's house. His father treats him like a parent-child. He also thinks that he is not in good health and can't go to the Imperial College. He specially invited Mr. private school to teach in the house. His grandmother and others love Chang Geng's brother very much, which makes the courtiers and women often eat."

The emperor was half convinced and half suspicious. His eyes flashed back and forth on Lin Qingqian and Gu Changgeng.
