"Everyone, Aiqing, today's Midyear Festival palace banquet, you don't have to be restrained, eat and drink to your heart's content, enjoy music and dance!" The emperor got up and looked smiling, as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the Zhaoyang Hall was also warmer, and at this time, the queen also stood up with a smile, and looked at the emperor with eyes like water.

"Your Majesty, the concubines are brave, and they also want to touch the emperor's light, I heard that the emperor has a new famous painting, and I want to take advantage of today's palace banquet to open my eyes, I wonder if the emperor will agree?" After speaking, the queen raised her glass and toasted the emperor.

The emperor was naturally overjoyed, "Okay, the queen's proposal is good, such a precious painting is naturally to be taken out and appreciated together, just listen to the queen!" ”

Everyone was talking, looking forward to what kind of painting made the emperor and queen so happy at the same time.

Seeing that the ministers were in high spirits, Jiang Yingli didn't have any thoughts, she only felt that the joy in the room had nothing to do with her, and the abrupt loneliness made her feel a little out of place.

I wanted to talk to Mrs. Hou, but I wanted to leave my seat quickly, but the next moment, I was stopped by the concubine's sharp eyes and hands: "Where is Miss Jiang going?" ”

She made a big salute and said respectfully: "Yu Niangniang, the courtiers only feel a little depressed and want to go out to breathe." And at this time, the queen also came over, and she was very concerned when she heard that she had something, "Miss Jiang is not feeling well?" Do you want the palace to send a doctor to call for you? ”

Jiang Yingli immediately refused, she just didn't like to be lively, there were many rights and wrongs where there were many women, and besides, she entered the palace to participate in the banquet this time only because of Mrs. Hou's persuasion, she didn't want to disobey her.

"Since there is no discomfort in the body, then you might as well go together, the emperor's new painting has been lost for more than a hundred years, and it is not easy to find it again, and I heard that Miss Jiang is quite talented, I think this painting will suit your appetite."

After the queen finished speaking, she smiled and looked at the concubines, and everyone immediately saluted and said in unison: "Thank you to the queen, the concubines and others have the opportunity to appreciate the famous paintings, and the concubines are grateful."

Jiang Yingli has to go if he doesn't go now, and he can't help but complain in his heart, who has been spreading rumors? How did she get so learned? It's just that the queen has spoken, what can she do?

"This "Qingming Riverside Picture" is made by the famous painter Zhang Zeduan of the Northern Song Dynasty, when the emperor was still the prince, he still paid attention to it for a long time, and he has not been able to find an opportunity, and now he finally got it, and he will definitely become the emperor's most cherished one in the future."

As he was talking, he saw the eunuch cautiously holding a painting forward, and the ministers were in an uproar again, and the queen squinted her eyes slightly and said with a smile.

And somehow, Jiang Yingli always felt that the queen's eyes seemed to fall on her intentionally or unintentionally, which provoked the other boudoir daughters to pay more attention to her.

It's just that Jiang Yingli doesn't have such a mind, and he should be staying up for time.

Unexpectedly, three days later.

At noon, news suddenly came out of the palace that the emperor's most cherished famous painting "Qingming Riverside Picture" was missing.

The news reached the Hou Mansion, and Jing'er hurriedly ran over to tell Jiang Yingli the news.

How could it not be seen? Everyone knows that painting is the emperor's most cherished painting. Jiang Yingli couldn't help but be a little confused and puzzled, he took it out and looked at it in front of everyone a few days ago, and it was gone now?

"Miss, I also heard that the queen mother ordered a thorough investigation of all the dormitories in the harem, including where the princes and princesses lived. It seems that the queen is really as rumored, and loves what the emperor loves! ”

But Jiang Yingli didn't think so, a search of the dormitory would inevitably make everyone in the harem panic, and if someone really stole it, how could she find it easily? With such fanfare, could it be that this matter is simply a pretense, and someone wants to borrow paintings to make a living?

After Jing'er finished speaking, she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw that there was nothing wrong with the young lady's face, how could this be, when she came in from the door just now, everyone was talking along the way.

Jiang Yingli is too calm, right?

As a result, Jing'er couldn't help but touch her head and asked curiously: "Miss, the queen is like this, aren't you worried at all, aren't you curious?" ”

Jiang Yingli shook his head, "What are you worried about?" It's not what I did, as for curiosity, the things in the palace are the most curious, and besides, things will come to light sooner or later, okay, if there's nothing to do, you can go down first! ”

Looking at Jing'er's gossip and curiosity, Jiang Yingli couldn't help but be a little funny. But she is really taboo about the palace, so try not to be involved if she can.

After a while, the maid beside Mrs. Hou ran in in a panic, saying that Madame had invited her to go.

Jiang Yingli came to Mrs. Hou's room and found that she was sitting at the table in a daze, her eyes looked a little worried, and she asked with a little worry: "Mother, what's wrong?" Do you have anything to do with me? ”

Mrs. realized that she was coming, and her body trembled slightly subconsciously, before she spoke: "Li'er, just now the Hou Ye went out to do errands, and heard that the emperor's painting was missing, and some people suspected that the painting was stolen by the six princes, and told the queen mother, I heard that the palace people around the six princes were punished first, and then it reached the emperor's ears, and the emperor was furious, and imprisoned the six princes in a fit of anger. ”

What the?

Jiang Yingli never thought that this matter would involve the six princes, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Is there any evidence here?" Could it be that just suspicion imprisoned a prince? ”

"I heard that it was someone from the palace of the Six Emperors who went to tell me, and the queen only has some suspicions now, as for the evidence, there is no evidence for the time being, but it means that there will be no in the future."

What does that mean? Could it really be that the Six Princes took it? But as a prince, if you like the emperor's paintings, you can ask the emperor for it, why would you steal it? She was puzzled, and what puzzled her even more was why Mrs. Hou cared so much about the six princes?

Madame looked at her and stopped.

"Mother, in fact, this is just the emperor's family matter, I think the queen will definitely find out in the end." She patted Mrs. Hou on the shoulder to comfort her, originally thinking that it was because they all went that day, and Mrs. Hou was worried that the Anping Hou Mansion was also suspicious, so she was so worried.

But Mrs. Hou shook her head, "Actually, my mother had already guessed this time, but I didn't expect it so early, I thought it would be at least peaceful for a while, but I didn't expect that she couldn't wait for half a moment." ”

"Mother, what do you mean by that?" Jiang Yingli listened and felt that something seemed wrong.

Mrs. Hou took her hand and said earnestly about the six princes: "Yun Chuan, that is, the sixth prince, it is not easy for that child to survive, he is actually my sister, that is, the widow of the deceased Xian Guifei. Back then, my sister tried her best when she gave birth to him, and finally died of dystocia when her blood was exhausted, but fortunately he was born safely. ”

"My sister was with me and my mother before leaving, she told us that the child was a boy, and if there was no biological mother in the future, it was a question of whether he could live safely in the palace, so she asked the emperor for a favor before she died, allowing my mother to take him out of the palace and raise him outside the palace."

The emperor didn't agree, but seeing that his sister's wish was not fulfilled and he couldn't leave with peace of mind, he agreed. It wasn't until a few years ago that the emperor felt that it was time to take Yun Chuan back, and he returned to the palace. But the current queen is not a good type, and after Yun Chuan went back, she was repeatedly harassed by her. ”

When Jiang Yingli heard this, she was not surprised, after all, she directly captured the hatred of the sixth prince Yunchuan for the queen. The more Mrs. Hou spoke, the more worried she became.
