Chapter 1261: The Third Prince was breathing heavily when he spoke
At this time, not only did Xuanyuan Jin look very proud, but Emperor Tianxi also had a proud smile on his face.
This little girl Fuya always surprises me! Emperor Tianxi thought to himself.
Emperor Tianxi was very pleased.
"Hahaha... Good! Fuya is indeed a blessed child!" Emperor Tianxi said with a big laugh.
The ministers: "...Haha, Your Majesty is right."
They spoke in a dry voice, trying hard to lift the corners of their mouths.
Unfortunately, it’s too difficult.
The ministers looked at Emperor Tianxi and then at Xuanyuan Jin.
The little girl is so lucky, why are you and your son so proud?
If you don’t know, you would think this girl has your family’s surname!
The ministers tried not to feel jealous, but they couldn't help it.
Especially those who have daughters at home.
I asked for the umpteenth time, why isn’t this my own daughter?
For a moment, the air was filled with the smell of lemon.
Prime Minister Zheng naturally felt jealous.
After all, he had originally thought about marrying his daughter to Xuanyuan Jin.
If my daughter was as valued as this little girl from the Su family, the emperor might have already issued an order to grant her a marriage.
"Since this drawing paper was provided by Princess Fude, then the person who copied the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture was..." Prime Minister Zheng asked hesitantly.
I don't know why, but a strange feeling came over me.
He thought that it might be related to Princess Ford.
As expected, Xuanyuan Jin said, "If I'm not mistaken, this painting should be of Princess Fude..."
Xuanyuan Jin paused.
Prime Minister Zheng: “…”
Sure enough! He knew...
Xuanyuan Jin continued, "It should be painted by Princess Fude's master, Yu Zhilan, the top scholar."
Prime Minister Zheng: “…”
I felt like my breath was stuck in my throat, unable to move up or down.
Prime Minister Zheng looked at Xuanyuan Jin with resentment.
He didn't expect that the usually cold Third Prince would actually gasp for breath while speaking.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at Prince Xiao and asked with a half-smile, "Is that so, Prince Xiao?"
King Xiao: “…”
It was a mouthful of blood, stuck in my heart.
I couldn't spit it out, and I couldn't swallow it.
"Hmph! Since Your Highness the Third Prince already knows, why bother asking again?" Prince Xiao said unhappily.
When the ministers heard that this was painted by Yu Zhilan, they didn't feel so sour anymore.
After all, it is well known that Yu Zhilan has superb painting skills.
After hearing what Prince Xiao said, Xuanyuan Jin curled his lips, a rare gesture, and said in a clear voice, "I'm just asking casually. We in Dayan are full of talented people. Yu Zhuangyuan's casual copy of a painting has made it difficult for Prince Xiao to distinguish the real from the fake. He is helpless and helpless."
Prince Xiao: "..."
No! The blood in my heart is about to burst out!
After hearing Xuanyuan Jin's words, the ministers became excited.
Proud! Proud!
Compared to the sour feeling just now, I now have complete admiration for Yu Zhilan.
After all, Yu Zhilan has been famous for many years, unlike Tang Bao, who is just a little girl.
"I didn't expect Yu Zhuangyuan's painting skills to become even more advanced..."
"Exactly, exactly. Look, the brushwork here is exactly the same as in the original..."
"Hahaha... Indeed, if you don't know the details, you might think they were painted by the same person... eh?"
Before this person finished speaking, he suddenly stuttered and something in his heart moved.
The more I look at these two pictures, the more I feel they were drawn by the same person.
Could it be that... these two pictures...
No! Impossible!
In just half a month, no one could copy two such exquisite paintings.
The man immediately denied it in his heart.
Not only did he deny it, but several old ministers and great scholars who were proficient in writing also denied it in their hearts.
Prince Ning looked at Xuanyuan Jin calmly.
Xuanyuan Jin's eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and his expression is always dignified and cold, and there is nothing to be seen on his face.
Prince Ning was worried, but he was also concerned that these ministers might say something that would arouse Prince Xiao's suspicion.
At the same time, Prince Ning was also worried that Prince Xiao would be angry to death and disrupt his own princess's birthday party.
So, he quickly smoothed things over, saying, "So this copy was actually painted by Yu Zhuangyuan. No wonder it was so lifelike and so well-written. It's a great honor for Prince Xiao to have Yu Zhuangyuan's calligraphy in his collection."
After saying this, he bowed to Prince Xiao and continued, "Thank you, Prince Xiao, for such a generous gift. I thank you. Come! Collect this authentic painting of Ten Thousand Buddhas and give it to the princess..."
"Wait!" Prince Xiao hurriedly stopped her, his expression unchanged as he said, "Please forgive me, Prince Ning. I have already promised the original painting of Ten Thousand Buddhas to Princess Fude as a betrothal gift. This time, I came to congratulate Princess Fude on her birthday, and I gave her this painting."
Prince Xiao said this and pointed to another painting.
He continued, "This painting was created by Yu Zhilan, the master painter of your Great Yan. It is a great honor for Prince Ning to have Yu Zhilan's paintings and calligraphy in his collection!"
Prince Xiao returned Prince Ning's words exactly as they were spoken.
Moreover, there was not even a trace of guilt or blushing.
It was as if what he originally wanted to give was a fake of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture.
At this time, everyone understood Prince Xiao's intention.
It turns out that everything was a cover.
Prince Xiao came here with two paintings in order to ask someone to help him distinguish the real from the fake.
Prince Ning's face darkened.
"Prince Xiao is so scheming! What good tactics!" Prince Ning said coldly.
Prince Xiao retorted sharply, "No matter how good my methods are, they are still inferior to what you, Great Yan, have done!"
At this point, Prince Xiao's tone couldn't help but become angry.
"I lent you this Buddhist treasure out of kindness, but was nearly tricked and received a fake in return. You people of Dayan resort to such tactics. Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Prince Xiao had a murderous expression on his face when he finished speaking.
It seems like he is going to mess things up if he doesn't agree with anything.
Prince Ning was naturally not afraid. After a moment of hesitation, he suddenly understood.
It seems that Prince Xiao was fooled by Yu Zhuangyuan.
Although it was the Queen Mother who came forward to borrow the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture, it now seems that Prince Xiao was defeated by Yu Zhilan.
Prince Ning lowered his head and looked at the two pictures of ten thousand Buddhas on the table, a gleam of light in his eyes.
Perhaps... these two pictures were copied by Yu Zhuangyuan...
In that case, the original must be in Tianlong Temple!
Prince Ning figured this out and was secretly pleased, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. If someone really was trying to fool you, passing off fakes as genuine, stealing and replacing real things, how could they have dared to give you both the real and fake works?" Prince Ning said, "It's just that Yu Zhuangyuan's painting skills are superb, and Your Highness can't tell the difference, so he's just judging others by his own standards."
Prince Ning's words, which were both harsh and threatening, made Prince Xiao's face turn ashen.
Xuanyuan Jin asked, "May I ask Prince Xiao, did Yu Zhuangyuan really give his imitation to Prince Xiao?"
Prince Xiao: "..."
Of course not!
