Chapter 1260: Princess Ford again
Prince Xiao was holding his breath, and after hearing the old scholar's words, his anger grew even stronger.
I thought to myself: Isn’t it just drawn by you hypocrites from Dayan?
He looks like a decent person, but he is actually a bad guy!
Prince Xiao cursed Yu Zhilan in his heart for being shameless and bullying him for being uneducated!
"Everyone, please try to determine which one is the authentic one." Prince Xiao emphasized this, saying, "Could it be that even you gentlemen, who are well versed in calligraphy, can't tell the difference?"
Prince Xiao said this and glanced at Prince Cheng'en.
It seems like he is asking King Cheng'en, does his face hurt?
Of course, King Cheng'en doesn't feel embarrassed!
If your face hurts, you’re not King Cheng’en!
"Hey, hey, hey, just talk, why are you looking at me?" King Cheng'en shouted, "I told you long ago that I can't tell the difference!"
King Cheng'en was arrogant and acted as if he couldn't tell whether he was right or not!
Prince Xiao: "..."
He shouldn't have paid any attention to such a shameless person!
King Xiao simply turned his attention to Emperor Tianxi.
"Your Majesty, I have always heard that Your Majesty is a man of both military and literary talents, and has a keen eye. I'm sure Your Majesty has already figured it out, right?" Prince Xiao asked.
Emperor Tianxi: “…”
At this time, Emperor Tianxi was also extremely confused.
He didn't know that Tang Bao and Yu Zhilan were copying the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture.
Well, even if he knew, he couldn't tell.
Because he felt that the more he looked at these two paintings, the more likely they were created by the same person.
Also, where did this drawing paper come from?
However, Emperor Tianxi also knew that as an emperor, he could almost tell whether someone was true or false as soon as he opened his mouth.
Even if it is fake, I am afraid most people will say it is true.
What's more, now no one can tell the difference, so they will definitely follow his words.
Therefore, Emperor Tianxi acted as if he was testing his own ministers without any guilt.
"My dear ministers, please make the final decision first." Emperor Tianxi said leisurely.
My dear ministers: "..."
They can't tell the difference.
"Could it be that... these two paintings were both created by the founder of Tianlong Temple?" someone said hesitantly.
"No!" Xuanyuan Jin suddenly spoke up, saying, "The color of the paper used for this painting is slightly darker, while the color of the paper used for this painting is brighter."
Xuanyuan Jin said this and pointed to the painting of ten thousand Buddhas that Yu Zhilan later copied.
Then, he continued, "And if you smell it carefully, you can smell a faint scent of ink. I guess it must have been made in recent years."
As soon as Jin finished speaking, a large number of white-bearded old men bent down, put their noses close to the Buddha statues, and sniffed hard.
It’s not their fault that they didn’t notice it. It’s just that they are old and their sense of smell is not as sensitive, so they can’t smell it.
Even when my nose was almost touching the Buddha statue, I could only vaguely smell it, but it also seemed like I couldn't smell it at all.
However, this did not prevent them from following Xuanyuan Jin's words.
Anyway, the Third Prince smelled it, right?
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is absolutely right. This painting has a hint of Hui ink, so it must have been created in recent years!" An old minister pointed at the painting and said excitedly.
Prime Minister Zheng, however, showed a hint of doubt on his face. He said, "Lord Li just mentioned that the ancient art of papermaking has long been lost, and the trees used at that time are also extinct. If this painting was made in modern times, then where did the paper come from?"
As soon as Prime Minister Zheng finished speaking, everyone, including Emperor Tianxi, looked at Prince Xiao eagerly.
You know, the painting paper that has remained immortal and incorruptible for thousands of years is really something to be envious of.
What's more, the papermaking technology of ancient times is also very curious.
Prince Xiao received so many looks, didn't he know what these people were thinking?
I couldn't help but feel more and more suffocated!
Where did it come from? It was invented by you people from Dayan!
Prince Xiao suddenly felt that he had experienced all kinds of humiliation that he had never experienced in his life during his time in Dayan!
"You all don't want to force me to tell such a confidential matter in public, do you?" Prince Xiao was furious, but his face showed a half-smile.
Of course he wouldn't say it!
If you say it out loud, wouldn't that just give Tang Bao some prestige? !
Prince Xiao would never do such a thing!
Even something like this cannot be concealed.
But, after all, these people don’t know now, right?
Prince Xiao was deceiving himself and others, and was determined to show off for a while.
All the ministers, including Emperor Tianxi, felt uneasy, but after hearing what Prince Xiao said, they did not dare to ask any further questions.
After all, everyone said it was confidential.
It is possible that the Northern Qi Dynasty had mastered the long-lost papermaking technique.
Thinking about it this way, I feel a little uncomfortable.
Xuanyuan Jin raised his eyebrows, glanced at Prince Xiao, and said, "Prince Xiao, this isn't a secret, is it? Even if it is, it should be a secret of our Great Yan."
Prince Xiao: "..."
The pretentious expression on his face froze immediately.
Damn it! This Third Prince really knew!
Prince Xiao's chest was blocked with blood again.
"What do you mean, Third Prince?" Prime Minister Zheng asked hurriedly.
The others also looked at Xuanyuan Jin with curiosity.
Emperor Tianxi's eyes flashed, as if he had guessed something, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little hot.
As expected, Xuanyuan Jin sneered when he saw Prince Xiao's expression, pointed at the drawing paper, and said, "This drawing paper was developed by Princess Fude over several years according to the method recorded in an ancient book."
Ministers: “…”
What? !
Princess Ford?
It’s Princess Fude again!
Everyone was shocked!
Why is there news about Princess Fude everywhere?
Isn't she just a little girl!
Despite thinking this, many people couldn't help but recall the scene they had seen earlier -
Four cranes, hovering and dancing gracefully above the head of a little girl with delicate eyebrows and eyes...
“Chirp—”
As if in response to the occasion, the loud cry of a crane was suddenly heard.
Many ministers: "..."
Subconsciously, I looked up at the sky outside the door.
Although I didn't see the crane, I felt a mixture of emotions.
Forget it, there’s no comparison!
This Princess Fude is indeed blessed!
No wonder she’s called Fu Ya!
Although this name is very rustic, it has a very good meaning.
only--
"Third Prince, is what you said... true?"
"Third Prince, Princess Fude has truly mastered the ancient art of papermaking..."
"Third Prince, the ancient book in Princess Ford's hand..."
Voices of disbelief came from the mouths of various ministers.
It’s not that they don’t want to believe it, it’s just that the surprise came too suddenly!
Just now I was envious of the people of Northern Qi who mastered the ancient papermaking technique.
In the blink of an eye, someone told them that the person who mastered the papermaking technique was from Dayan.
Xuanyuan Jin said proudly, "Of course it's true! Princess Fude is a virtuous and intelligent woman. Mastering this papermaking technique shouldn't be a piece of cake for her."
Ministers: “…”
Suddenly I didn’t know what to say.
There's no way around it, it just makes my teeth ache.
However, he had no words to refute.
Besides, Princess Ford is smart, why are you looking so cocky?
