At this time, the ministers and clan elders had already arrived and took their seats one after another.

"Yes," Gan Shun Huano said, presenting the rectangular scroll. The empress unfolded the scroll and looked at it, frowning slightly.

Gan Shunhua chuckled in his heart, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hua'er is extraordinary, and she sent such a picture of Lonely." The empress's words were meaningful: "Let's see."

Gan Shunhua followed everyone's eyes to look at the painting, only to see that the painting was dyed with black-brown ink and red, and it was full of corpses and chariots, and the soldier's face was full of hideous expressions, which frightened her as if she were at home.

How so, not a portrait of a thousand abysses? , how did it become a soldier fighting figure. Gan Shunhua was puzzled, when he heard Gan Xinyi scolding Qing'er for keeping the portrait. Her head was confused.

"Hua'er used to always tell Gu that she hated going to the battlefield the most, and she couldn't see blood the most, and at that time Gu still laughed at her for having no spirit, but now it's okay, I sent such a picture to Gu, what does this mean?" The empress had a smile on her face: "Do you want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy like your King Qin?" Or do you want military power? ”

When Gan Shunhua heard this, he secretly screamed in his heart, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Erchen has no such intention, this painting... It's not Erchen's. ”

"Not yours?" The Empress smiled and asked, "Then you mean that you didn't have time to prepare a gift for me and mistakenly took someone else's gift to make up the amount?" ”

Gan Shunhua broke out in a cold sweat, lying on the ground and not daring to move. At this time, the empress snorted coldly.

Suddenly, fireworks lit up in the sky, and a salute arrow flew in, as if deliberately, and grazed Gan Shunhua's ear and nailed to a pillar beside it.

Everyone was just about to marvel at the mastery of the archery, knowing that the sword had no sharp arrows, but was made of an adsorption material, which could completely nail one thing to the cylinder, and this strength had to be just right.

"Presumptuous." The Empress slapped the table and looked at the person drawn on the scroll, and her whole body was furious.

Only then did everyone notice that the scroll was painted with a handsome man with an extraordinary bearing. People who don't know think that King Qin is going to offer a beauty to the empress, and he knows that he is secretly smiling and watching a good show, isn't the person in this painting the painting on the wall of the empress's palace?

Gan Qin was about to salute the mother emperor, and when he heard this roar, he was so frightened that he stood still. Only then did she look back at her congratulatory gift, and when she found that the painting was no longer the picture of a hundred soldiers fighting that she had given her, but a painting that seemed familiar to her in the mother's study, her eyes immediately turned to Gan Shunhua.

"The victory of the border fortress, our army won a complete victory, I originally sent a picture of a hundred soldiers fighting to show this victory, but for some reason, I was dropped." Gan Qin immediately calmed down, knelt on the ground and said: "I hope that the mother emperor will investigate this matter thoroughly and give justice to his son." ”

The empress sneered, and the corners of her eyebrows rose slightly: "Who allowed you to use arrows, do you want to rebel?" ”

There was nothing wrong with Gan Qin not using a sharp sword on a weapon, but a salute arrow to create a surprise, but when the empress said this, no one dared to say that she was wrong.

Gan Qin was silent when she heard this, and then the empress spoke again: "You can't go back to Beijing unless you have an edict, have you forgotten this regulation?" ”

"This ...... Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness King Qin has already asked the minister for instructions, and the minister has also played the recital. The military department Shangshu on the side felt that the empress was particularly irritable today, and wronged King Qin, so he hurriedly reminded.

"Presumptuous, when is it your turn to interject King Qin." The Empress clenched her fists quietly, the beaded curtain on her head made a crunching sound, and she looked up casually, and saw the painting, the painting that broke her heart.

She tried to calm herself, her eyes darting back and forth between the two of them before finally sitting back in her place.

When he looked at the painting again, he found that it had been put away by Nuojun, so he ignored it.

"Shunhua told Gu that the painting she gave was not her own, could it be King Qin?"

Gan Shunhua had long noticed that Gan Qin's painting was a birthday gift she gave to her mother, but seeing that the mother was unhappy just now, she didn't want to admit it.

"Mother, I originally sent a picture of soldiers fighting, that is, this one in the hands of Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager." Gan Xinyi said, constantly glancing at the painting that Gan Shunhua brought that was originally dedicated to his mother.

"Shunhua, did you change King Qin's painting?" The empress looked at Gan Shunhua who was kneeling on the ground.

"The mother and the sons don't know why this is happening. I was also surprised that King Qin appeared at the mother's birthday banquet today? King Qin has guarded the frontier for so many years, and the gifts to the mother must be handed over to the cronies around him for safekeeping. Besides, why should I send such a painting to the mother to make myself unhappy? Gan Shunhua calmed down and replied.

No matter which one she sends, she is making herself unhappy? The empress thought of this in her heart, and was about to reprimand Gan Shunhua a few words, but she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Gan Qin kneeling there, with an arrogant expression, as if she had been wronged. This looks very similar to the person back then. The more she thought about it, the tighter she felt in her chest, so she picked up a banana on the table.

"That's King Qin framing Shunhua." The Empress peeled off a layer of banana peels and secretly made up her mind: "The affairs of the frontier should be stabilized, and the Emperor of the Star Kingdom will send an envoy to sign the peace treaty in a few days." ”。 She paused for a moment and looked at Gan Qin with a compassionate look: "You have led soldiers for so many years, and you have suffered a lot in the frontier, so it's time to rest." ”

At this moment, Gan Qin felt a basin of ice water splash over her head, making her cold from head to toe. This heart is too ruthless, she was born without a father, and she has not been treated by her mother since she was a child, and she has endured the cold eyes and ridicule of others all the time, she hates Gan Shunhua, but she doesn't want to kill her, she has no interest in that position, she gradually gained the approval of her mother by her own efforts, but because of a painting。。。。。

He stared at Gan Shunhua with fierce and vicious eyes, eager to cut her with a thousand knives.

"The mansion in the west of the suburbs of Beijing is good, King Qin will move in in a few days!" The empress took Ganqin's military power in a few words.

It was also out of the womb of the mother emperor, and just because of Gan Shunhua's one-sided words, did she take back everything she worked hard for? , why suffer from this, it's just so unfair. All their efforts were in vain. It's all because of Gan Shunhua, yes, it's her, she must make him pay.

Gan Qin thought so, but still had to kneel down to receive the order.

Because of Gan Shunhua's one-sided words, it was very far-fetched to judge that King Qin had framed her, but today it was obvious that the empress wanted to take back the military power, so everyone didn't say anything.

"Xin'er, you were too careless, Shunhua's gift was kept by you, how did you keep it and let people drop their bags?" Nuojun, who had been silent, spoke in a very stern tone, reprimanding Gan Xinyi.

"Father, I... Gan Xinyi's little face turned white, and he cried before he wanted to speak.

"Don't say that, Nuojun, it's obvious that someone wants to separate our sisters." Gan Shunhua protected Gan Xinyi, and then said to the empress: "Mother, you know the temperament of the third sister."

"Okay, okay, don't say it, Lone knows, but since Shunhua handed over the gift to you, it is your responsibility, and you are not a child anymore." Although the empress was in a reproachful tone, she had a smile on her face: "A one-year fine, thinking about it for a month, can be regarded as a small warning to you." ”

"Empress Xie." Gan Xinyi thanked him, and then noticed Gan Qin's suspicious gaze, and nodded and smiled in return. Like a child, Gan Qin twisted his head to the side when he saw this.

At the banquet, because of this incident, the atmosphere was a little depressing, and in order to mobilize the atmosphere, the empress asked people to let the songs and dances prepared in advance come out. Although the dancing girl's dancing posture was beautiful, Gan Shunhua had no intention of appreciating it, because the mother queen didn't even look at her at the incident just now, let alone mention her, she was a little restless.

"Why didn't your baby husband come?" Seeing that Gan Shunhua didn't speak, Gan Xinyi bumped her with his elbow and said.

"He was not feeling well, and he contracted a cold a few days ago."

"In the past few years, everyone has said that since you married the princess, you will never be close to other side monarchs again, tsk."

"Sister, don't make fun of me, what's wrong with being single-minded to a person, and when my sister also has a favorite man, it must be the same?" When Gan Shunhua said this, his face flushed.

"It seems that my sister is sincere, I always thought that my sister was interested in what was behind him." Gan Xinyi's eyes narrowed, and an arc crossed his lips.

"For a daughter like us who is in the emperor's family, there is really little such thing as feelings, do you think I can not be greedy?" Gan Shunhua shook his head and said with a wry smile.

Gan Xinyi leaned over to Gan Shunhua's side, lowered his voice, and said inexplicably: "This Gan Lanqi, what do you think?" ”

"My sister is really funny when she says this, Gan Lanqi is a man. The mother is only a son, and it is right to pamper him, but I don't think he is a threat. ”

"What!" Gan Xinyi disagreed: "Have you forgotten the previous dynasty?" ”

Gan Shunhua was thoughtful, then patted Gan Xinyi's hand and comforted: "What kind of waves can a person who was born with anger and nothing behind him set off?" ”

Gan Shunhua then added: "Even if there is a day, I will admit it, this is a problem of ability, and others can't envy it." Didn't this Empress Taizong also snatch the position of Emperor Yao of the previous dynasty and set a precedent for female dignity? ”

"That's what you think?" Gan Xinyi was surprised: "I thought you were the same as those old old-fashioned people in the court, only recognizing the distinction between orthodox and descendants?" ”

"The distinction between orthodox and descendant is already a rule, or a very common system, and I am talking about a few people who break the rules. But how many of them are there? Gan Shunhua explained to Gan Xinyi.

Gan Xinyi showed an innocent look, stuck out his tongue, and whispered as if jokingly: "This life is really boring, but I am looking forward to the person who breaks the rules." ”

Gan Shunhua just wanted to say something, but was called out by the empress.

Gan Shunhua hurriedly leaned down and saluted.

"Look at Lonely, you're getting old, and I almost forgot about you just now." The empress jokingly said, "I don't know if you have heard about the Spirit King over there in Nanling?" ”

"The minister has heard a little about this, and it is said that the Spirit King was murdered."

"You also know, this is not a trivial matter, Taizong has already left a will, to treat the descendants of the former Prince Ming for the rest of his life." The empress pondered: "But now that Prince Ming's direct descendant, the Spirit King, has been killed, no matter what, he has to give an explanation." ”

"Xin Yi will be an adult next year, and I originally planned to let her do this and investigate the case to train her. But today's incident made me really afraid to let her go, she, a girl who was spoiled by you, was very simple-minded, and she couldn't tell what trouble would happen? The empress twisted her eyebrows with her hand and continued: "So this matter will be handed over to you Hua'er, I am still very relieved." ”

Speaking of which, Gan Shunhua had to agree, planning to go to Nanling in a few days and end the matter as soon as possible. It can be regarded as repaying Gan Xinyi's favor of going to Jiangnan for her.
