Chapter 992 I am willing to kneel down and pour you tea to apologize
So, Wangpin said, "Madam Zhuangfei, have you forgotten that Concubine Chun came from the Prince of Jin's mansion? Naturally, she doesn't want to see His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin being wronged. Therefore, it is understandable that she has forgotten the sisterhood in the harem."
Wangpin was merely stating the facts and did not imply that Concubine Chun had any improper relationship with Prince Jin, so she was not afraid of being punished by the emperor.
But Concubine Chun was guilty and felt panicked for a moment.
But when she met the gentle gaze of Prince Jin, she quickly calmed herself down and snorted softly, "Your Highness, what you said is wrong."
"What I said has nothing to do with my background. I am just telling the truth."
"I don't understand. Your Highness the Imperial Concubine Chen is clearly not drunk, but you say that I am talking nonsense. How is this different from calling a deer a horse in front of Your Majesty?"
How could Wangpin bear such a serious crime? She frowned and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Others didn't notice it, but she did.
Just now, when she mentioned Concubine Chun and Prince Jin at the same time, Concubine Chun subconsciously glanced at Prince Jin. Who would believe that there was nothing fishy between the two?
Kangpin seemed to want to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
She is no longer alone now, and she is also raising the fifth prince, so she has to be more careful and cautious in her actions.
Otherwise, if she is not careful, not only will she be doomed, but the Fifth Prince will also be implicated.
Seeing the concubines holding different opinions, Shen Maoxue broke out in cold sweat...
God knows how much the Shen family has paid to have the current glory!
Shen Maoxue knew very well that although he was talented in being an official, everything he had obtained was because of Concubine Chen.
If Concubine Ruochen is unable to be a concubine and is therefore rejected by His Majesty, the future of the Shen family can be imagined...
Concubine Chen is not an impulsive person. What happened today? !
Shen Maoxue was torn between inner conflict and inner struggle...
Should I find a way to resolve this crisis, or just follow what Concubine Chen wants?
Facing Shen Zhinian's clear and determined eyes, Shen Maoxue finally decided to take a gamble.
That’s all! Just die!
Since the Shen family's current prosperity is all due to Concubine Chen, he should believe her!
Thinking of this, Shen Maoxue said, "Your Majesty, since the Royal Concubine Chen said so, there must be something wrong with this painting "Fishing Alone on a Cold River". You might as well ask someone to come and carefully appraise it."
Before Nangong Xuanyu could speak, Shen Zhinian raised his eyebrows and looked at Princess Yun'an.
"You just asked, what would happen if I wrongly accused His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin today? I have already said that I am willing to bear the consequences."
“Then should I ask Princess Yun’an a question: If you yell at me and threaten me without knowing the truth, what will you do?!”
Princess Yun'an was shocked.
Although Concubine Chen held a high position, she always looked down on the other party because of her background.
I didn't expect Concubine Chen to have such a sharp look...
But in just a moment, Princess Yun'an's expression returned to calm, and she sneered, "Noble Concubine Chen, if I really wronged you, I am willing to kneel down and pour you tea to apologize!"
Hearing this, many royal relatives frowned.
Some elders even said, "Yun'an, don't mess around!"
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the eldest princess is the sister of the emperor and is of the first rank!
And the imperial concubine was only of the second rank.
No matter how favored Concubine Chen is, Princess Yun'an is of higher rank than her. How can I kowtow to her to apologize?
Prince Jin also advised, "Yun'an, I think Concubine Chen was short-sighted and misunderstood. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, why make such a fuss?"
After saying this, Prince Jin looked at Shen Zhinian again, smiled slightly and said, "Noble Concubine Chen, I don't know where you got the misunderstanding from. The "Fishing Alone in the Cold River" that I gave to my brother is a fake, but this painting is really the original work of Master Yu Bai."
"Yun'an is young, so don't mess around with her."
In the eyes of the world, Prince Jin is an image of a virtuous king who is as gentle as jade. Even though he was so aggressively and wronged by Shen Zhinian today, he remained magnanimous and gentle.
Everyone's impression of Prince Jin couldn't help but improve, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes when they looked at Shen Zhinian.
Shen Zhinian didn't buy his tricks and sneered, "A fake is still a fake after all. Even if the King of Jin says it to the sky, there's no way he can pass it off as the real thing!"
"Princess Yun'an, I agree with your proposal!"
Then, Shen Zhinian looked at the emperor on the dragon throne, bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, please send someone to appraise this "Fishing Alone in the Cold River"!"
The reason why she was so confident and confident was that Shen Zhinian understood that the painting presented by Prince Jin must be a fake!
The second reason is... she knew that what she said was exactly in line with Nangong Xuanyu's thoughts.
At this point, in order to prevent the King of Jin from continuing to pretend to be loyal in front of others, even if this "Fishing Alone on a Cold River" is real, the emperor will find a way to make it fake...
Shen Zhinian and the emperor are on the same front, how could he not be the winner?
Princess Yun'an is indeed passionate, but sometimes she is too foolish and reckless. In this case, Shen Zhinian doesn't mind teaching her a lesson so that she will remember it!
Anyway, everything he did today was in the interests of Nangong Xuanyu. That man might be secretly happy in his heart, so why would he care whether Princess Yun'an was embarrassed or not.
as predicted.
Although there was nothing unusual on Nangong Xuanyu's face, people who were familiar with him could see that there was a hint of joy in his eyes and brows.
But what Nangong Xuanyu said still sounded very fair: "Prince Jin is my brother. I naturally don't believe that he would give me a fake painting on this festive occasion."
"But since Noble Concubine Chen is so sure, please ask a few cabinet ministers to come forward and make an appraisal. If it is true that Noble Concubine Chen is talking nonsense and wrongly accusing my eighth brother, I will not let her off easily!"
The relationships between people can also be divided into close and distant.
For example, if one of your own makes a mistake, you may speak harshly in front of outsiders, but in your heart you will always be on her side.
This is exactly what Nangong Xuanyu said.
Seeing that the emperor had given the order, several cabinet ministers and officials who were well-versed in calligraphy and painting came forward and carefully examined the painting "Fishing Alone in a Cold River".
To be able to sit in the current position, their literary attainments are certainly not exaggerated. Authenticating an ancient painting is completely overkill.
At this moment, everyone present, no matter what they were thinking, was so nervous that even their breathing became a little faster...
The concubines in the harem, in particular, stared at the center of the hall without blinking.
Many people secretly prayed that this painting of "Fishing Alone in the Cold River" must be authentic!
They couldn't wait to see how Concubine Chen would look like after her position as Concubine was abolished!
