Not only did she become the portrait of Concubine Chen, but it was also the same portrait from her previous life!

In her previous life, she thought Xie Jingyan gave it to her on purpose, but in this life, she saw Xie Jingyan's paintings with her own eyes.

All the officials in the palace looked at each other.

Although King Ling has committed suicide and deliberately angered the emperor more than once, but today is the emperor's birthday. Although the birthday gifts given by King Ling in the past few years were perfunctory, at least they were decent in appearance. What he did today was too much. , did King Ling want to make the emperor angry on his birthday?

The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair with an ugly face. Everyone was worried that the next second he would ask someone to drag King Ling down and chop off his head.

Just when everyone was unilaterally condemning Xie Jingyan in their hearts, Shen Wan spoke up, "Your Majesty Mingjian, the birthday gift the prince has prepared for you is the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting. It is not this painting. The painting has been stolen!"

Was the painting stolen?

Officials, you look at me, I look at you.

The emperor's expression softened a bit, but he was still very serious, "How could the painting be secretly replaced?"

Shen Wan couldn't answer.

Xie Jingyan said abruptly, "You have to ask Prince Jin about this."

One sentence brought everyone's attention to Xie Jingyin.

Xie Jingyin's face changed drastically and he couldn't hold back his anger, "The painting you dedicated to my father was secretly changed. What do you ask me for?!"

Xie Jingyan's eyes were cold, "Didn't you have someone secretly change the painting?"

Xie Jingyin stood up angrily, but because of his anger, the wound where he had touched the board was pulling painfully, and his eyesight went black from the pain.

Queen Song said angrily, "Prince Ling! Without evidence, you dare to slander King Jin in front of all the civil and military officials. Don't think that because the emperor favors you, you can do whatever you want!"

What Queen Song said was ironic enough.

The emperor doted on King Ling, and the doting King Ling, the son of a sinful concubine, had the strength to compete for the crown prince, but he deliberately angered the emperor.

Empress Song deliberately stabbed the emperor in the heart with a knife.

Xie Jingyan smiled, "Who told the Queen that I had no evidence?"

Queen Song's heart skipped a beat, and she felt uneasy.

"Somebody come!"

As soon as Xie Jingyan finished speaking, Chen Feng walked in with a father-in-law and a palace maid.

The palace maid was still holding a painting in her arms.

More importantly, the palace maid——

The civil and military officials didn't know who this maid was, but Concubine Zheng and Concubine Wang Shu recognized her. She was Cui'er, the maid of Fengyi Palace, Empress of the Song Dynasty.

The Empress of Song Dynasty clenched her phoenix robe tightly. She looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the painting in Cui'er's arms was given to me by the concubine of the King of Jin. She knew that I like famous paintings, so she found it specially. , I don’t know how King Ling could believe that the painting given to me by the concubine of King Jin was secretly replaced by him!”

Shen Ying and Fu Shu were sitting next to Xie Jingyin. She was watching the excitement seriously, but the fire burned on her.

Shen Ying was so burned that she didn't even dare to complain that she was wronged. Empress Song and Xie Jingyin teamed up to plot against Prince Ling. When Prince Ling found out, he blamed her. She was pregnant and could bear the accusation.

Shen Ying felt extremely wronged. When Empress Song looked over, she had to stand up and said, "Father, that painting was indeed found by the son to honor his mother..."

Queen Song said coldly, "What else does Prince Ling have to say?!"

Prime Minister Zuo said, "Prince Ling deliberately disrupted the Emperor's birthday banquet and should be severely punished."

Xie Jingyan glanced at Zuo Xiang and said, "Zuo Xiang is so anxious to ask Father to punish me severely? Before punishing me, shouldn't I take a look at the painting held in the palace maid's arms?"

Queen Song's eyes were flustered, but she forced herself to remain calm.

The emperor said solemnly, "Open the painting."

The palace maid hurriedly opened the painting, but the painting was only half unfolded, and the palace maid hurriedly rolled up the painting again.

This scene made everyone in the hall confused, including Shen Wan.

Even "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" doesn't need to be like this. Empress Song immediately pushed Shen Ying out to take the blame. In the end, this fire will only burn Shen Ying, but not her Empress Song and Xie Jingyin. The palace maid Why are you so afraid?

The emperor was not a patient person and said coldly, "Open it!"

The palace maid's face turned pale. Eunuch Yuan quickly walked down the steps and took the painting from the palace maid's hand.

turn on.

I gasped after taking a look.

The Queen Mother lost her patience, "What kind of painting is it?!"

Eunuch Yuan looked at the emperor and slowly unfolded the painting.

Then Shen Wan was also confused.

This picture is not "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", but another portrait of Concubine Chen.

Xie Jingyan looked at Empress Song and asked, "I'm curious, what does the portrait of King Jin's side concubine honoring my mother and concubine do for the empress?"

Queen Song's face turned green.

Isn't it "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"?

How could it also be a portrait of Concubine Chen? !

You must know that the gift was Concubine Chen's painting, and she went to the trouble of replacing it. She didn't steal the fox and got into trouble all over.

Queen Song couldn't answer, so she asked Shen Ying, "Where did you get this portrait of Concubine Chen?!"

Shen Ying wanted to die. If she had known she would not have entered the palace to attend the birthday banquet, she knelt down and said, "This painting of Concubine Chen was a birthday gift from Prince Ling to the emperor. I, I secretly exchanged it for him." …”

Empress Song scolded, "You are so stupid! The internal strife in your Pingyang Marquis Mansion actually caused a disturbance at the Emperor's birthday banquet!"

"Your Majesty, it's my concubine who failed to discipline her well. I have done this before..."

The emperor had a long face and said angrily, "Send her out of the palace, and she will not be allowed to attend any palace banquets in the future without my permission!"

If Shen Ying hadn't been pregnant, she would have shed several layers of skin today even if she didn't die.

Shen Ying was really frightened. She said, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. This matter is not mine..."

Before she finished speaking, Xie Jingyin scolded her, "Shut up!"

Shen Ying was dragged down at a very fast speed.

After Shen Ying was taken away, Empress Song looked at the emperor and said, "Prince Jin had his concubines change their paintings, but it is also true that Prince Ling gave Concubine Chen's portrait as a birthday gift to the emperor!"

The emperor looked at Xie Jingyan, "What's going on?"

Xie Jingyan said expressionlessly, "Someone told me that I would give my father a portrait of my mother and concubine as a birthday gift, and make my father half angry to death. I think it is impossible for me to do such a thing. Even if I make my father angry again, I will not do it." There is no way I could use the portrait of my mother and concubine to anger my father. I suspected that someone had secretly replaced my painting. To make it easier to catch the thief, I specially painted this portrait of my mother and concubine. That’s it.”

Shen Wan, "..."

Why didn't she think that the painting might have been stolen?

But why didn't Xie Jingyan deny it in his previous life, but allowed himself to be misunderstood by the emperor and officials?

Queen Song said coldly, "What if no one changes the painting?"

Xie Jingyan ignored Empress Song and looked at the emperor, "Father, do you think I will give you a portrait of my mother and concubine?"

Xie Jingyan would not agree to the emperor throwing away Concubine Chen's portrait, let alone asking him to take the initiative to throw it away to the emperor.

The emperor was silent.

The Queen Mother said, "Prince Jin's side concubine has bad intentions, and the emperor has punished her. Today is the emperor's birthday banquet. Don't let this matter affect your good mood."

At that time, Xiao Xizi took the painting from Shen Wan's carriage.

It is exactly what Shen Wan said in "The Picture of Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains".

The size of the painting is not large, but the painting is magnificent and majestic. It can be seen that it was done with care, and the emperor's mood finally improved.
