Concubine Min's heart sank when she heard this, she knew that the queen must have seen that she was coming from Qiao Palace, and deliberately released words to test herself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info If she said no, then the queen might come up with evidence that she came out of Qiao Palace, wouldn't that be just slapping herself in the face in front of everyone If she said yes, it would mean that she admitted that she had a close relationship with Concubine Guifei in private, and there must be an ulterior secret.

In a situation where neither option is good. Concubine Min chose to tell the truth, because at least she felt better in her heart, and her expression was more natural, and she would not be discovered by the queen.

Sure enough, as soon as the queen heard Concubine Min say that she came out of Qiao Palace, the expression on her face gradually became gloomy. A chilling sneer rose at the corner of her lips: "Concubine Min, you have grown up and learned to climb high branches, do you think that the emperor has been going to Qiao Palace recently, so he is also shy of an old face, where to compete for favor, and don't look at your age, how can the emperor look at you more, even if the emperor doesn't go to Qiao Palace, there are still flowers and bones waiting in Guhua Palace, no matter how you look at it, it won't be your turn."

Concubine Min only felt that her face was hot, she tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, lowered her head and said respectfully: "Back to the queen's mother, how can the concubine not even have this self-knowledge This palace is a mother, and she has long lost the heart to compete for favor and love, and there is a reason why she went to Qiao Palace today." ”

"Oh," the queen's eyebrows twisted slightly: "What is the cause of the matter, you might as well tell me and listen to it"

Concubine Min didn't panic, and said slowly: "The concubine recently asked someone to draw a portrait of herself, and after reading it, she was a little hesitant, I don't know if this painter is good or not." So I took the painting and went to the Qiao Palace, and asked the concubine to appreciate it. The concubine did this mainly to know the result more quickly. ”

When the queen heard this, it was not easy to refute. Because Yunyang is known to be good at painting, it is logical for Concubine Min to draw a portrait and show it to Yunyang, and there is no reason to question it at all.

So she glanced at Concubine Min slightly and said, "How did the concubine answer you?"

The concubine said that she had often studied landscapes, flowers and birds since she was a child, and she had rarely been involved in portraits, so she really couldn't say anything about the portrait of the concubine. Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, the concubine took her leave and left. ”

The queen's eyes suddenly flashed, as if she had discovered something terrible: "Isn't the one in Qiao Palace who has always boasted of being well-read, knows astronomy and geography, and has a portrait that she can't appreciate So, this palace is getting more and more curious, what are you painting on this portrait?"

"Come," the queen turned to Qu Jun, the eunuch in charge standing beside her, and said, "Go and tell Concubine Min Niangniang, borrow her portrait and read it." ”

After Concubine Min finished saluting, she looked up and saw Qu Jun smiling and smiling and borrowing the portrait from her. She didn't want to borrow it, but there was a queen there today, if she didn't give it, she was afraid that it wouldn't make sense of reason.

Concubine Min glanced back at Bao Lai, who was holding the brocade box, and said, "Don't let Gonggong Qu bother, the concubine asked the little slave to send the portrait to the mother, and asked the queen not to dislike it." ”

After hearing this, the queen said with a smile: "That's right, the concubine can appreciate it, how can this palace appreciate it is that I have to read two more books It's not a serious book, it's all legends, strange talks and the like, if this palace is serious, then"

As soon as she said this, suddenly the whole person froze all of a sudden, and it turned out that Qu Jun had pretended to be a portrait of Concubine Min as Empress Jiang and gently unfolded it.

As soon as she saw the contents of the painting, the queen was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Concubine Min, Concubine Min, have you become self-defeating because of the departure of Xuanbo, how can you let go of the good queen mother, the fairy and Guanyin without pretending, and you have to pretend to be the tortured Queen Jiang."

Concubine Min was so laughed by the queen that her heart was furious, and she didn't know what she was going to do in a while, so she had to be silent and watch the queen pointing at her alone.

"The concubine is a person who has studied painting, and she doesn't look like this when she looks at this painting, so the queen is familiar with the movements, but she has a kind of contrived heart and pretends to be elegant." Concubine Min thought angrily in her heart.

But the queen still kept looking at it, and seemed to be very interested in Concubine Min's painting.

In the end, the queen asked Qu Jun to close the painting, and she said to Concubine Min: "You, don't let this painting look at this, let that see it." Hongu loves this painting of yours very much. In this way, your painting will be handed over to the palace for you to keep first, so that the palace can take it back and see how it is."

When Concubine Min heard this, she was a little confused: "This is just a portrait of herself, and it is not a hand-me-down, why is the queen so interested, if I have to stay in Longkang Palace, I am afraid that things are not so simple." If I say no, but I can't find any suitable reason to refuse, it's really difficult."

Just as Concubine Min hesitated, the queen looked at her sharply, and her voice became cold: "This palace asks you, why don't you answer for a long time, it's just a portrait, but my sister is looking at it very closely, just lending it to this palace to see it for a few days, but she is so reluctant." It seems that the face of this palace is not as big as that of the concubine after all. ”

After hearing this, Concubine Min's face changed, and she immediately replied: "What did the queen mother say?" The portrait of the concubine can enter the eyes of the queen is really a blessing for the concubine, how can there be a reluctance to say, as long as the concubine likes to dispose of it at will, the concubine will never say half a word. ”

The queen unfolded an unfathomable smile: "This is what you said, you can take it for as long as you want in this palace."

"Of course," Concubine Min said: "As long as the mother likes it, you can do anything, and the portrait of the concubine can enter the Longkang Palace."

The smile on the queen's face became stronger when she heard this: "Sister Min, it's not that this palace said you, we have been getting along for almost 20 years, you have gone from the little girl who just entered the mansion to the current Concubine Min, who is now well-mannered, and this palace has watched you step by step to get to where you are today." ”

"You're good at everything, but you're too greedy. I never knew what I was fodding. It's obviously a stone, so I have to drill into the pile of jade. It's obviously a wild goose that has to learn to open the screen like that peacock, you said you didn't bother yourself, what is it?"

"Especially now, the eldest princess is gone, you are still jumping here and behind, are you a fool Why is the emperor getting farther and farther away from you, you just love it because of the decay, but you don't want to think about it, you don't even have to love your daughter sincerely, how can the emperor really love you"
