Chapter 44
Xu secretly held Lin Qingwu's wrist and gave her a wink.
Lin Qingwu understood it, smiled and echoed, "back to the emperor, the third sister is often unhappy because her grandmother favors brother Changgeng."
Both of them grabbed Gu Changgeng's mouth, which made people doubt.
The emperor narrowed his eyes, with sharp eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Chang Geng, is it really what the two ladies in the prime minister's house said?"
Lin Qingqian thought of Gu Changgeng's situation in the prime minister's house. His servants can bully and insult at will. He was ruthless. He didn't care whether he would commit the crime of disrespect. He looked adored on his small face and said in a soft voice: "really, and his brother reads well. He can recite books such as the book of songs and thousand words. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can test his brother on the spot."
She is betting that Gu Changgeng, the man of this article, will not be a dandy like Lin Qingyuan.
The emperor did not speak. His eyes fixed on Gu Changgeng, as if he were silently asking him. Is that really the case?
Gu Changgeng was puzzled by Lin Qingqian's words, hesitated for a moment, and continued to follow her words.
"Back to the emperor, as the two ladies of the prime minister's house said, Lin Cheng treated the grass people like parents and children, and the old lady and others treated the grass people very well."
The seriousness on the emperor's face slowly faded, smiled brightly and said, "I didn't see the wrong person. I know Prime Minister Lin will treat general Gu's orphan well. Lin Aiqing really lived up to my high expectations."
Lin Lang was secretly relieved, walked out and bowed, "back to your majesty, general Gu is a life and death friend of the minister. Wei minister is good to take care of his orphans. Even without the command of his majesty, it is the duty of the minister."
Lin Qingqian thought: what a shameless hypocrite.
"Well, Aiqing is a man of love and righteousness. Come here. The prime minister's family supports Gu Changgeng, the son of general Gu. He does his duty wholeheartedly and rewards 1000 liang of gold and 500 pieces of cloth!"
Xu and others knelt down with Lin langtian: "thank you, Lord longen!"
The emperor looked at Gu Changgeng kindly and said, "today is the Empress Dowager's birthday. I'll listen to it myself another day. How can chang Geng recite many books? However, your child is different from your father. He would rather practice sword than sit down and read books..."
Realizing that his thoughts were drifting away, the emperor coughed and said, "so, I will reward you with a set of four treasures of study. I hope you will study hard in the future."
"The grass people thank the emperor for his reward."
"As for the third lady of the prime minister's house..."
With the pause of the emperor's words, Lin Qingqian's heart clicked.
Fortunately, the emperor said to the ugly empress dowager, "empress mother, today is a good day for your birthday. The third miss is also unintentional. It's better to give up the punishment."
Imperial concubine Shu also said, "empress dowager, why don't you forget it for the sake of the three young ladies? My concubine thought that the three young ladies already knew they were wrong."
The queen was silent. After the eldest prince was deposed as Prince, the third prince became a popular candidate for the prince. She was bitter with Princess Shu. Princess Shu helped the prime minister's house. She just wanted to win over Prime Minister Lin. naturally, she would not help.
The emperor spoke, and the Empress Dowager could not help but give the emperor face no matter how dissatisfied she was.
"Since the emperor has spoken, the mourners don't care."
Lin Qingqian quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "thank the Empress Dowager."
I thought the matter was exposed. Unexpectedly, Lin Qingqian raised his head and said firmly: "please give the Empress Dowager a chance to make up for her mistakes and prepare the painting paint for her. She can cover the wine stains on the painting."
As soon as the voice fell, a young man in a good dark Satin Robe sneered: "do you want to paint on the wine stains and cover the traces? Ha ha... Ignorance, if you write, you will destroy the whole ten mile peach forest of master Feng Qingyun."
The speaker is Shen Fei, the son of Duke Pingyang, who also adores and likes Feng Qingyun's paintings.
The irony in Shen Fei's words was obvious. Lin Qingqian looked at him and scolded him in his heart. No one thought he was dead.
The expression on her face said seriously again: "please, emperor, empress dowager, give the female minister a chance to make up for her achievements. The female minister can't compare with master Qingyun, but I'm sure she will never destroy the painting. If she can't do it, the female minister is willing to be punished!"
The little girl was dressed in a light blue dress, her eyes were clear, and there was a gentle and restrained noble spirit all over her.
All the people in the hall were sweating for Lin Qingqian and sighed in their hearts. It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
Gu Changgeng frowned like a picture, and his eyes were full of worry.
Lin langtian was about to scold. The emperor smiled with interest and said, "OK, I'll give Miss three the opportunity to make up for her mistakes and let someone prepare brushes and paint for miss three."
Said, the emperor's tone half true and half false added, "if you can't do it, the third miss will be willing to receive punishment."
"Yes, my lady. Thank you, Emperor."
In a moment, the eunuch presented the paint and brush for painting, and part of the five foot long ten mile peach forest was put away and placed on a desk.
Lin Qingqian has carefully seen the pigments for painting. They are cinnabar, lead, carbon black and so on. Although they are not comparable with modern times, they should be able to be used.
Lin Qingqian picked up the brush, stained with paint, took a deep breath, stared at the wine stains on the rice paper for a moment, and began to draw.
Lin Qingqian concentrated on painting. The hall was so quiet that everyone's eyes fell on her.
After about half a column of incense, Lin Qingqian put down his pen and said, "tell the emperor that the minister's daughter has finished painting."
The eunuch manager beside the emperor made a look in his eyes. The two small eunuchs standing next to Lin Qingqian came forward, picked up the painting scroll and unfolded it.
The courtiers, concubines and others were curious. They all looked surprised when they stretched their necks and looked at the butterflies painted on rice paper.
The place where the rice paper was splashed with wine was covered by the butterflies painted on it. The butterfly painting was lifelike. The rice paper trembled slightly, and the butterflies in the painting seemed to fly out.
If I hadn't seen Lin Qingqian's painting with my own eyes, I'm afraid I would think it was a real butterfly falling on the painting.
Rao Shi, the emperor, was also stunned and said with great praise: "the third lady of the prime minister's house has excellent painting skills. The butterfly is lifelike, just like a real butterfly falling on the ten mile peach forest!"
The Empress Dowager looked at it and said in surprise, "Ai family has never seen anyone draw butterflies so vividly. At this point, the butterfly is icing on the cake."
"Hahaha, the empress mother is right. In this way, the third young lady can offset the merit and avoid the punishment. In addition, the third young lady is smart and rewards a box of gold and silver jewelry."
Lin Qingqian's hanging heart finally fell to the ground. He knelt down and kowtowed to thank the emperor, "my daughter, thank you for your reward."
The emperor was in a good mood and said to Lin langtian, "Aiqing has a good teaching and guidance. All the ladies in the prime minister's house have both talents and talents."
"I don't deserve it. All the young women are a little smart. Your majesty will laugh at them."
Lin Qingqian thought: thanks to her learning 3D stereo painting in modern times.
The emperor praised a few more words and waved his hand to let the birthday banquet continue. Music played again in the hall, and the dancers continued to dance.
Lin Qingwu understood it, smiled and echoed, "back to the emperor, the third sister is often unhappy because her grandmother favors brother Changgeng."
Both of them grabbed Gu Changgeng's mouth, which made people doubt.
