Chapter 12 Quality

The original plan was to sell the painting at a high price that Xiao Yiyun could accept, and blackmailed Xiao Yiyun for a sum of money, and then Xiao Yiyun happily gave the painting away, and then Su Yu, who had excellent eyesight, realized that the painting was wrong. The Queen Mother gave a fake painting on her birthday, and you can imagine how embarrassing it will be, although you can't do anything to him because of this, but when the Queen Mother is depressed about this and has physical problems, see how Xiao Yiyun explains to the world. The world values filial piety, and even if it is not out of intention, it is enough to be ashamed of people.

Also, if Xiao Yiyun thinks that this painting can't be fake and refuses to admit it, then it will provoke the arrogant Su Yu, even if Su Yu is good friends with Xiao Yifeng, she will never have a good impression of him.

Three birds with one stone.

However, Su Yu couldn't find out the authenticity of this painting, and they also considered it, after all, this painting is really too difficult to determine the authenticity, so they also have a trick, but if Su Yu didn't say it, these three carvings could only be reduced to two carvings, and with Su Yu's reputation, as long as he said that it was fake, no matter what the face was, everyone would definitely think so in their hearts, and the effect would be much worse if someone changed. The most difficult thing to do is that they specially invited Mr. He's disciples for this bureau before, but Mr. He's disciples refused to enter the palace, saying, "The paintings of the family master are overseas, and it is difficult to find them, and the royal family may not be able to find them.

Although the plan is good, there are too many variables, and if you can't invite Mr. He's disciples, even Su Yu doesn't see anything wrong, and letting a person who is far less famous than Su Yu identify this painting as fake will make Su Yu unhappy, and it's hard to say whether others will believe it.

The Queen Mother hesitated, she wasn't sure if it was a good thing to continue, but Emperor Yongsheng, who had always taken disgusting Xiao Yiyun as his responsibility, refused to let go of this opportunity.

"Haha, the queen mother, my son has a subordinate who is also very good at painting, which is a peerless painting, so that he can also feast his eyes on how it is. ”

The Queen Mother saw that her son insisted and no longer hesitated: "It's okay." It's just that can you tell the mourning family who is so loved by the emperor?"

"This person is Xia Zihou, who provided advice for his son to solve the scourge of the rebellion of the Nine Emperor Uncles, and solved the Lanzhou flood disaster and the Licheng riot for his son, and his son invited him as prime minister but did not want to enter the court. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up: "Oh, Xia Zihou, the mourning family has heard a lot of things about him in the past two years, but they have never seen his true face, and I am fortunate to see him today, and the mourning family is very happy, so please invite him over." ”

The emperor nodded and raised his voice: "Pass on Xia Zihou." ”

"Spread Xia Zihou. ”

"Spread Xia Zihou. ”

One after another, the singing promises spread, and the courtiers below also came back to their senses and whispered, Xia Zihou is a legendary figure to them, and the things that the court really can't solve in the past two years will fall on this Xia Zihou in the end, but they have never seen this person, and even his name is the first time they have heard it, before they only knew that there was a person who was dedicated to solving the things that the emperor couldn't solve for their courtiers.

This person is very mysterious to them, and naturally in the hearts of many of them, they are deified, thinking that he is an unborn master, who only seeks happiness for the east, but is not obsessed with power, so he can't even attract the position of prime minister. Of course, there are many people who think he is too ugly to see people, so he doesn't come out to meet people.

Yun Yi vaguely heard words like "master" and "strategist", Yun Yi frowned, it seems that this matter can't be good, Yun Yi is angry with the emperor and the queen mother, they are really biting it.

Not long after, a man dressed as a scholar walked up, looking like he was in his early twenties, with a bookish air and an ordinary face, but the temperament of the whole body made people look very comfortable, and there was no ancient fairy style or sharpness that others imagined, and the warm temperament made people feel extremely close.

"The grass people visited the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and wished the Queen Mother a long life. Xia Zihou nodded slightly, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant.

"This matter is not as generous as the gift of the queen mother's birthday, so I don't want to be surprised. ”

Everyone was amazed that a commoner could see that the highest person in the east could not kneel, and few people could enjoy such a favor.

"Haha, Mr. Xia doesn't have to be polite, it's the best gift for the mourning family to come on their birthday, how can the mourning family be weird. ”

"Yes, the Queen Mother has been talking to me about seeing you, and it's best if you come. Then he pointed to the painting held by the chamberlain and ordered: "This is Mr. Crane's painting, a gift from King Qi to the Queen Mother, Zihou, you don't love Mr. Crane's paintings, have you seen a lot of his paintings, you will love this painting very much, the Queen Mother loves, you can also appreciate one or two." ”

Xia Zihou showed a happy look on his face, thanked the Empress Dowager and Emperor Yongsheng respectfully stepped forward and carefully held the painting, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, suddenly his expression changed, and the emperor asked worriedly next to him: "What's wrong with Zihou, why is your face like this, but what's wrong with this painting." ”

"This ......" Xia Zihou hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "Back to the emperor, there is nothing wrong." ”

"There's nothing wrong with your expression, say, what's wrong, but what's wrong with that. ”

"This ......"

"Zihou, I am the emperor of the east, if you dare to deceive, you should know what the consequences will be. Emperor Yongsheng's tone froze.

The bottom was suddenly quiet, and the companion was like a tiger, even if he was extremely favored by the emperor, he couldn't provoke the emperor in the slightest.

"The grass people don't dare. It's just that Mr. Crane's disciple Caomin also knows that Caomin and him are inseparable friends, so Caomin is fortunate to have seen several paintings of Mr. Crane that survives in the world. Mr. Crane's disciples inherited Mr. Crane's painting style, and they know a little bit about Mr. Crane's paintings, but this painting ......" Xia Zihou hesitated and continued: "Although the painting is excellent, according to the humble opinion of the grass people, this painting is not from Mr. Crane's hand, but imitated by people with extremely high painting skills. ”

There was a gasp sound below, and many people peeked at Su Yu, regardless of whether this painting was real or fake, just saying that this painting that had passed through Su Yu's hand before was fake, wasn't this a slap in the face to Su Yu?

Su Yu smiled gently: "It seems that Su Yu is clumsy, Su Mou has not seen the authenticity of this painting after looking at it for so long." ”

Xia Zihou arched his hand at Su Yu: "It's just that Zihou has a humble opinion, I hope Su Gongzi won't be surprised." ”

Su Yu smiled, as if she was not angry, but Princess Caifeng on the side was anxious: "Hey, what do you mean, Brother Su said that there is no problem with the painting, you still dare to doubt it, tell you, what Brother Su said is right, Brother Su said ......"

"Caifeng, Hugh has to be rude to Xia Gongzi. The Queen Mother's voice was extremely cold.

Princess Caifeng was stunned for a moment, then became aggrieved, ran to the Queen Mother's side and hugged the Queen Mother's arm and coquettishly: "Queen Mother, he is just a pariah, how can you question Brother Su, Queen Mother, you are still murdering me for him." The princess's voice was full of grievances and coquettishness, but this time the queen mother obviously didn't eat it.

"Shut up! Talk nonsense, hurry up and apologize to Su Gongzi!"

Princess Caifeng was a little stunned by the Queen Mother's roar, and her eyes immediately became wet after reacting: "Queen Mother, you really murdered me for him." Princess Caifeng's finger pointed straight at Xia Zihou, Xia Zihou raised his hand and wiped the tip of his nose with his index finger, and there was still a faint smile on his face.

The people below were silent and watched this scene, they didn't expect that the Queen Mother, who has always favored her daughter, would be like this for an outsider to Princess Caifeng, it can be seen how important this Xia Zihou is in the Queen Mother, or in the eyes of Emperor Yongsheng, it seems that they will never be able to mess with this person in the future.

The Queen Mother was also a little distressed when she saw her daughter like this, but she was angry, this girl who didn't make people feel at ease wouldn't help her brother and her at all, but don't tear them down like this.

Yun Yi lowered her eyes and sneered, this queen mother really spent a lot of money to deal with them.

Princess Caifeng felt very sad when she saw that the Queen Mother didn't comfort herself, she turned her head to look at Su Yu, hoping that Su Yu could be moved by her maintenance, but Su Yu didn't look at her, Princess Caifeng felt that she was abandoned by the whole world, stomped her feet, turned her head and rushed out, the Queen Mother wanted to call her, thinking that it was time to teach this girl a lesson, so she couldn't help but leave her, turned her head to the palace maid beside Princess Caifeng and said angrily: "Don't follow quickly, if you don't take good care of the princess, be careful of your heads!"

The palace maid saluted and felt rushed out, the queen mother turned her head to look at Xia Zihou, changed her smile and said: "This girl is spoiled by the mourning family, there are no rules, Xia Gongzi don't be surprised." ”

Xia Zihou bowed down and saluted: "The grass people don't dare." ”

There was a gasp below, the queen mother favored her daughter like her life, and now she actually taught her daughter such a lesson for a civilian, it seems that this person can't be provoked.

The people below are all human spirits, and they dare not determine the authenticity of this painting, but Xia Zihou is a person of Emperor Yongsheng, and now he is sought after by the Queen Mother, in order to elevate Xia Zihou's status and make them believe in the weight of his words. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the painting is true or false anymore, what matters is the attitude of the emperor and the queen mother, as a courtier, he naturally wants to worry about the emperor, as for whether he will lose the face of Su Gongzi, hum, although Su Gongzi is expensive, it is not worth the emperor's weight.

As for some people who don't understand, looking at one side is the world-famous Su Gongzi, and the other is extremely sought after by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, in fact, it is also a very mysterious and powerful character who has his own words, and his heart is wavering, but the seeds of doubting the authenticity of the painting have been planted, so as soon as the rumor of "the Queen Mother of Qi sends fake paintings on her birthday" comes out, none of them will go out and say anything.

Su Yu couldn't help but say something, if he continued to argue, it would not be good to provoke the jealousy of Emperor Yongsheng and the Queen Mother. He smiled incomprehensibly, but there was some worry in his heart.

Yun Yi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and finally got up and saluted the Queen Mother and Emperor Yongsheng, and said respectfully with a hint of apology in his tone: "Yun Yi is guilty. ”
