Wang Linzhi asked Yingluo to help her prepare painting tools, and instructed Coral and Amber, "You guys have been paying more attention lately, and see who the county lord of Anya has helped to cure their 'hidden diseases'." ”

A few maids took the order and left, Yingluo didn't think about the master who didn't like painting before, why did she want her to prepare things now, and Amber They didn't think about why Wang Linzhi wanted them to inquire about an irrelevant person.

Because Mama Li is the person brought out of the palace by Princess Qingyang, she trains her subordinates to be loyal in the first point, loyal in the second point, and then smart and talented. They have followed Wang Linzhi since they were children, and they have long been accustomed to her acting in all directions, without rules, without restraints, and wherever they want.

Wang Linzhi sat at the table, made a portrait of the Empress Dowager Wu in one go, and instructed Yingluo: "Put it away when you do it, and take it with you when you go to the palace tomorrow." If Empress Dowager Liu asks her for it, she will send it directly, but to see what tricks she can play.

Yingluo happily agreed.

Wang Linzhi has recently been in the limelight in the palace, and she, the maid who went out with her master, has also become a fragrant bait, and the people outside nodded and all kinds of flattery, not to mention, after returning to Qinglianju, as long as the little sisters see that she has leisure time, they must prepare refreshments and ask her to talk about things in the palace.

But Wang Linzhi beat Princess Fengxiang, Concubine Hui and Mrs. Wei Guo, in case they are heard, they can't resist a few lives of those who are maids, so they will inevitably hesitate.

Wang Linzhi just came out, and when she heard this, she glanced at Yingluo with a smile, "Since they want to hear it, you can choose something fun to talk about, so that everyone can be happy." ”

With Emperor Changsheng behind her back, she naturally has to spare no effort to fight the enemy.

To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself.

One is the queen's mother, and the other has a favorite concubine who the prince wants to replace at any time, and the two sides can only be opponents, and will not become other relationships. In the last life, after her aunt was deposed, Concubine Wu Hui and Princess Fengxiang never let go of humiliating her and the Wang family. In the end, the aunt could not hold on and died, and the father and brother were judged to be the accomplices of the aunt and were ordered to die by Emperor Changsheng. At this time, Concubine Wu Hui was holding a banquet in the palace to celebrate her birthday.

Although her aunt's death is not directly related to Concubine Wu Hui, she is the one who ultimately benefited. If she hadn't been reborn, it would have been fine, but she knew that all this would happen, but she wanted to treat it as if she had passed without a trace, how could it be?

Not to mention the Empress Dowager Liu, who is greedy and selfish, narrow-minded, but arrogant, and can't recognize her own strength, she wishes that Concubine Wu Hui and the queen were unlucky, so that her niece Concubine Shufei could ascend to the back seat.

But no matter how disgusted these people were, she still had to go to Empress Dowager Liu with Princess Qingyang the next day.

After the salute, Empress Dowager Liu glanced at Wang Linzhi with a smile, "You kid, what about the portrait of the mourning family?" ”

Wang Linzhi took it from Yingluo's hand and gave it to Empress Dowager Liu with both hands, "I painted it yesterday, and I just brought it over today." ”

"I don't know what kind of painting the county lord gave the queen mother, and she still hides it like this." Princess Fengxiang couldn't hold back and rushed out.

Wang Linzhi smiled at her, "Does the princess want to appreciate it?" ”

As soon as Princess Fengxiang saw Wang Linzhi's indifferent appearance, a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart, and she hurriedly looked at the Empress Dowager Liu, and saw that the other party's face was a little bad, so she said weakly: "I, I'm not interested in what you painted!" ”

Wang Linzhi's face was full of surprise, "This is the Queen Mother's thing." ”

This is obviously a painting made by Wang Linzhi, but this thing has already reached the hands of the Empress Dowager Liu, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the Empress Dowager Liu's thing.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Liu had no intention of offending Concubine Wu Hui and her daughter, and said to Wang Linzhi with a smile: "Fengxiang's girl has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, Sister Lin doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Everyone who heard this laughed, but no one spoke.

On the surface, the emperor is now holding the Wang family to suppress Concubine Wu Hui, but only those who are familiar with Emperor Changsheng know that this is not painful for Concubine Wu Hui at all, but it is just an awkward quarrel with the emperor for a few days, and the emperor will be better for her later. And praise is not necessarily a good thing, like Wang Linzhi's straw bag, the final result can only be "killed", and in the end it will inevitably implicate the queen.

"Don't worry, how dare I offend the princess." Wang Linzhi looked unaware, as if she was afraid that Empress Dowager Liu would not understand, and explained: "Since you have opened your mouth, I have to paint, but I am very worried in my heart, for fear that you will be misunderstood by others." ”

"What exactly did you give to the Queen Mother? Could it be a portrait of Empress Dowager Wu? "Wu Xuejiao saw that Empress Dowager Liu was holding Princess Fengxiang, and she felt a little proud, plus Empress Dowager Liu has always been more kind to her, and she thinks that she has more face than others on this occasion, so she wants to come forward to humiliate Wang Linzhi." The Empress Dowager Wu you painted, why did others misunderstand the Empress Dowager? ”

Wang Linzhi glanced at Wu Xuejiao with pity, "The wisdom of the Wu family has grown in the Empress Dowager Wu, it is normal for you to not understand this truth, but the Empress Dowager must know it, and no one can help but think about it." ”

Empress Dowager Liu's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and she sneered sharply: "Should you not repeat the old trick, let us all kneel in front of the portrait of Empress Dowager Wu." ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire Shou'an Hall looked at Wang Linzhi.

"Don't be embarrassed, kneel if you want to kneel, don't kneel if you don't want to kneel, anyway, Empress Dowager Wu has passed away for so many years, even if someone doesn't respect her so much, she won't know." Wang Linzhi looked indifferent.

But Empress Dowager Wu is the mother-in-law of Empress Dowager Liu, she asked people to paint a portrait of her mother-in-law, not used to bow down, so what should she use it for?

Empress Dowager Liu couldn't wait to bite off her tongue at this time, knowing that she shouldn't discuss this topic with Wang Linzhi, but she had to bite the bullet and said: "The mourning family remembers the Empress Dowager Wu, and if you get her posthumous image, you naturally have to treat it respectfully, as for the people in the palace, many of them have never seen her old man, so don't pay attention to these." "Anyway, the portrait was not opened, and everyone just heard about it

For the reception banquet for the Seven Princes, what is the matter with everyone kneeling to the Empress Dowager Wu?

"But the Empress Dowager respects the Empress Dowager Wu so much, let the imperial history know that I am afraid that it will be another right and wrong." Wang Linzhi reminded with a concerned face.

No matter what the Empress Dowager Wu is, it is an unchangeable fact that she is the mother-in-law of the Empress Dowager Liu, and the Empress Dowager Liu secretly regrets it now, knowing that she should not have asked Wang Linzhi for this portrait. Now that Wang Linzhi sent the portrait in such a high-profile manner, she suddenly had a bad premonition.

blamed herself for being obsessed, thinking that the second prince liked Wang Linzhi, and Wang Linzhi has now been valued by the emperor and named the county lord, if the marriage between the two parties will definitely increase the bargaining chips for the second prince.

It's a pity that when Concubine Liu Shu went to the queen to probe the wind, the queen said that she couldn't do it herself, and she had to agree to Wang Linzhi herself.

"The mourning family is just an old woman who has been cut into the ground half-cut into the ground, how dare she compare with the Empress Dowager Wu." Empress Dowager Liu could only admit this fact in front of everyone in embarrassment.
