After a brief moment of anger, Emperor Xuanwu also regained his composure. He looked at the angry Jiang Xinyue, then at the gentle and honest Xie Chenghui, moved his lips, and wanted to say something: "I..."
"I have a private meeting with the painter Xie?"
Jiang Xinyue snorted coldly: "If I really want to mess up the harem, none of you will be able to catch me. I will definitely do things quietly and will not be stupid enough to lead the entire palace to serve you in a big way. My servant came to meet my lover with great fanfare, letting you all know that I am here. If you want to frame me, please use some advanced means."
Her chest heaved violently, she was obviously very angry. She picked up the scroll on the ground and threw it into Emperor Xuanwu's arms: "With a portrait without a face, you can just say that I am a filthy mess in the palace. Okay." Ah! Kill me now, I won’t be interested in becoming the royal concubine of Lao Shizi."
"Jiang Xinyue!"
Emperor Xuanwu yelled angrily, feeling that she seemed to want to leave him all the time.
"You made a fuss about leaving the palace when something happened, and now you say you don't want to be the imperial concubine. What do you think of me? What do you think of my harem?"
Is she so bored and doesn't want to stay by her side?
"Then what does the emperor think of my concubines?"
Having already committed a disobedience, Jiang Xinyue simply rebelled to the end: "The emperor told me that I would come and go as soon as I called. When someone else made a few gossips, the emperor suspected that I was unfaithful. What does the emperor think of my concubine?"
"Concubine Yu, you said that painting was found from Wei Chen's residence?"
"Can this be false?"
Concubine Yu raised her head proudly and looked at Jiang Xinyue and Painter Xie with a contemptuous attitude: "I have long noticed that something is wrong with you two. As soon as you left, I received a secret message saying that you and Painter Xie As he prepared to elope and escape, I immediately caught up with him. Even the emperor received the news, so he sent people to search Painter Xie’s residence, and sure enough, they found this painting. Jiang Xinyue, the emperor treats you so well, you are worthy of the emperor. Trust you?"
"etc!"
Xie Chenghui was amused by her and said a little speechlessly: "Who told Concubine Yu that that terrible portrait was painted by Wei Chen?"
Concubine Yu was stunned: "I found it from your residence. Whose does it belong to if it's not yours?"
Xie Chenghui did not answer her, but winked at the book boy next to him. The book boy was worried about his young master to death. After receiving the look, he quickly put down the book basket on his back and spread the good rice paper in the middle of the bamboo forest. On the stone table, I took out my pen, ink, paper and inkstone and started grinding the ink.
In the past, his son often traveled far away, and the people who followed him had to carry painting tools with them so that his son could paint the beautiful scenery of mountains, rivers and lakes at any time.
It came in handy today.
Emperor Xuanwu closed his eyes regretfully. He was jealous of his boss for a moment and was so cruel to Yue'er. She should be angry.
However, Concubine Yu was still nagging in his ear: "Your Majesty, Painter Li is right, the palace should not recruit these tender-skinned pretty boys to be court painters. They are arrogant and arrogant, just because they have a good face." , you dare to seduce the concubines in the palace so boldly, the imperial concubine is only eighteen years old, where..."
"What did you just say?" The emperor frowned: "Painter Li?"
Jiang Xinyue also turned to look at Concubine Yu. In other words, there was no real evidence at all. She just listened to Painter Li's jealous instigation, and Concubine Yu concluded that she was having an affair with Painter Xie?
Concubine Yu didn't know what she said wrongly, and smiled proudly at Jiang Xinyue: "That's right! The imperial concubine probably didn't expect it, right? Humph, where did the secrets come from in the palace? Painter Li said that he seemed to have seen you contact each other in private. , so I am careful, I can catch your fox tail today."
She turned to the emperor and hugged his arm: "Your Majesty, please don't be soft-hearted this time, grant the death of the imperial concubine, and then check the life experience of the sixth prince, so as not to confuse the royal bloodline and let a bastard enjoy royal treatment. Isn’t it ridiculous to be generous? Your Majesty..."
"Snapped!"
Jiang Xinyue could accept all kinds of slander she cast against her because they were in a hostile relationship, but she couldn't tolerate Concubine Yu's verbal humiliation to the sixth prince.
"you……"
Concubine Yu didn't expect that at this time, Jiang Xinyue could still be so arrogant and dare to take action in front of the emperor. She also raised her hand, ready to return the slap.
"what are you doing?"
But as soon as she raised her hand, Emperor Xuanwu grabbed him, and the eyes that fell on her were bitingly cold.
"Emperor..."
But the emperor seemed to have caught something dirty and didn't want to hear a word she said anymore. He shook her hand away hard. If Shuxiang hadn't helped her quickly, she would have fallen to the ground.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has finished the painting. Please come over and take a look. The painting that Concubine Yu brought is indeed not by Wei Chen."
Emperor Xuanwu looked at Jiang Xinyue subconsciously, but Jiang Xinyue walked directly towards Painter Xie without squinting.
Since someone can quickly prove her innocence, she doesn't have to worry about proving herself. Let's look at the evidence from Painter Xie first.
There were pens, inks, paper and inkstones crudely placed on the stone table. Because there was not enough space, Xie Chenghui even had a little colored paint stuck to his body.
He had always been dignified and would never let himself appear in front of others like this, but today it was about the imperial concubine and his own reputation. He ignored his mysophobia and pointed to the paintings on the stone table: "The Emperor's Mingjian, the Master of the Mo Family" Mo Ziye is his master, and the Mo family has been making paper for generations. Today, the most expensive and best paper in the Yan Dynasty comes from the hands of Master Weichen. The paper Weichen uses for painting is all handmade by his master. Every painting made by Weichen The paper layers of the paintings have their own unique seals, and the paper quality is slightly different from those on the market. The colleague who wanted to frame Wei Chen may not be aware of Wei Chen's habits, so he just took the painting paper from the palace. , imitating Wei Chen's style, and just want to put Wei Chen to death, his heart is evil, which Wei Chen did not expect."
Xie Chenghui bowed apologetically to Jiang Xinyue again: "Wei Chen really deserves death for causing trouble to the Imperial Concubine. I ask the Emperor to investigate the truth and restore the innocence of the Imperial Concubine and Wei Chen."
Not to mention that the drawing paper used by Xie Chenghui has specific markings. Just look at the brushstrokes, composition, colors and postures of the two paintings. If you look carefully, you can see that Xie Chenghui is much better.
Just because he doesn't paint portraits doesn't mean he doesn't know how to paint portraits.
The portraits of the emperor and empress as well as the emperor and his concubine were all painted by him, but Painter Li was not qualified to see them.
To think that imitating him a few points can knock him down from the altar is to underestimate his strength.
"impossible!"
The first one to break through was Concubine Yu, who took the lead in exposing all this.
