As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 353 Fakes
Hearing everyone's astonishing voice, Ding Yao's mood also relaxed a little. It seems that the person who copied it has superb painting skills, and no one will find out that it is a fake.

In the amazement, Li Xiaozhu's expression changed from surprise at first to ridicule later, looking at Ding Yao's expression is also meaningful.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the eunuch shout emotionally, "The emperor is here!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked away one after another, stood up respectfully and saluted, "See Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

The sound echoed in the cool shop for a long time, endlessly.

Gu Jingyao waved his hand and said calmly, "Excuse me." Qin Yi and Lin Yinyi followed and took their seats.

"Your Majesty." Qiu Yeli looked at him with concern in his eyes, his face looked a little tired, and he had to attend his birthday banquet.

"It's okay." Gu Jingyao knew what she was thinking by looking at her expression, shook his head slightly, and looked at the people in the hall with a smile, "What were you Ai Qing doing just now?"

"Going back to my father, the concubine's room in General Zhengxi's mansion is presenting Jiang Hanzi's painting to my mother. I am admiring it. My father has always loved Master Jiang Hanzi. How about enjoying it together?" Li Xiaozhu said slowly, looking at Ding casually as he spoke. Yao, sure enough, the latter bit her lower lip tightly, lowered her head and lowered her expression.

When Lin Yin heard this, he subconsciously frowned. Why does the concubine of General Zhengxi sound so awkward?He quickly looked down at Li Xiaoyue, who was the first one, but the latter deliberately avoided his sight, and lowered his head to eat the food on the table.

He frowned, knowing that the red food on the plate was called crayfish.

Others can't see clearly from a distance, but the emperor can not only appreciate it up close, but also has research on the paintings, if it is exposed.
It's disrespectful to send a counterfeit to the queen!Ding Yao was annoyed and regretted her impulsive action.

After Gu Jingyao finished speaking, he took the painting handed over by the eunuch, and after only one glance, his expression became gloomy, without saying a word.

Li Xiaozhu slightly hooked his lips, and asked knowingly, "Father also thinks that Aunt Ding's congratulatory gift is unique and very precious?"

Qin Yi casually glanced at the painting, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Li Xiaozhu, who was smiling like a little fox, and knew that she did it on purpose, maybe it was to help Li Xiaoyue vent her anger, but this time, I'm afraid Lin Yinyi She can't be alone anymore, but it doesn't matter, as long as she is happy.

Li Xiaozhu's words made Gu Jingyao's eyes darker, Qiu Yeli noticed his strangeness, smiled slightly, and frowned, "What's wrong?"

Well done, why did Gu Jingyao turn dark?Everyone also noticed something unusual, and lowered their eyes, looking at their noses and hearts.

"Ding Yao, do you know your mistake?" Gu Jingyao said in a cold voice with a sullen face.

Ding Yao immediately knelt down on the ground with a plop. After all, it was a woman, but the emperor couldn't bear the thunderous anger, so she said in a low voice, "Ding Yao doesn't know."

Her brain is spinning rapidly, and she must never admit it at this time. If she admits it, she will deliberately give the empress a fake painting. .

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty!" Ding Yao lowered her head and said tremblingly, looking rather frightened.

"This painting of yours is a fake." Seeing that he and Gu Jingyao were not talking, Li Xiaozhu couldn't help saying.

"Fake? It's impossible, the maidservants don't know about it." Ding Yao said pretending to be terrified.

"Fake? Absolutely impossible! Princess Qingfeng, although you are a princess, you can't slander with empty teeth. The court lady knows that you are complaining for Princess Liyue, and you can't openly frame her!" Mrs. Ding was furious. He completely forgot that it was the emperor who brought up the problem with the painting, and the Great Sage retorted, even using his own daughter's innocence as an argument.

"Mrs. Ding speaks carefully!" Qiu Yeli was displeased, looked at her and said with a frown.

Mrs. Ding also realized how rebellious what she said was belatedly, she bowed her head and said, "Yes. I made a mistake. I hope your majesty forgives me. I just feel sorry for my daughter who searched hard for the authentic work of Jiang Hanzi to celebrate her birthday, but was told So unbearable."

Mrs. Ding's posture was extremely low, and she seemed to be compromising. As expected, when she said this, everyone talked about it.

"This girl Ding is also quite pitiful. She is obviously the daughter of a high family who has been defiled and innocent but can only be a concubine. Who makes her a princess!"

"Yeah, it's really pitiful to be targeted and ridiculed for attending a banquet now!"

Everyone whispered, but Li Xiaozhu who was sitting in front snorted coldly.Madam Ding's words did not cause any disturbance in her heart.

"Madam Ding wants evidence, right? Let's look at this painting. Most of Jiang Hanzi's paintings use black scrolls, but this painting is a white scroll, and it is very new, but the authentic work has been handed down to this day. It’s so new, and secondly, the lines of this painting are not smooth enough compared to the real one, it’s just copied for the sake of copying, without any emotion of its own.”

Li Xiaozhu talked eloquently and confidently, and everyone couldn't help but believe her. Seeing her nodding subconsciously, some people said that these were not enough to prove that it was a fake.

Li Xiaozhu slightly hooked his lips, looked at Ding Yao's pale lips and Mrs. Ding's exasperated expression and said with a smile, "Of course, the most important point is this. The authentic painting of Autumn Shedding is hung in the study of Qinzheng Palace. "

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and almost everyone believed it. Naturally, the paintings that could make the emperor hang in the study could not be fakes.

Except for Mrs. Ding who was still full of disbelief, secretly cursing in her heart, after leaving the palace, she must go to Mingpinxuan to find out. After collecting so much money from her, she dared to give her a fake, which made her look so ugly.

Ding Yao, who was in the center of her gaze, knelt down calmly and said calmly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, atones for the sin. It's because my wife is ignorant that she didn't realize that this painting is a fake!"

After she finished speaking, she leaned over and kowtowed, but Li Xiaozhu was at a loss for such a straightforward apology, she opened her mouth and did not make a sound.

Qiu Yeli looked into her eyes and said with a light smile, "It's okay, it's just a painting. If you have such a heart, I will be very moved." What he said was impeccable, and it gave the general's mansion a face. In their hearts, they praised the queen's extraordinary bearing.

"Thank you empress!" Ding Yao said in a steady voice.

"I have some doubts in my heart," Qin Yi suddenly said, looking at the little girl who was biting her lips, she looked over and slightly curled her lips, and said in a steady voice, "I don't know where this painting came from? This person thinks it must be I am good at copying, and I follow the laws and regulations to strictly prohibit the circulation of fakes."

Ding Yao rolled her eyes, and her palms were slightly sweaty. If they knew that the painting belonged to Mingpinxuan, they would know that she had deliberately dropped the painting when they inquired about it. She thought that there were so many people presenting gifts, and the queen would definitely not care about her congratulatory gift. Li Xiaozhu stared at him tightly, and now Qin Yi came again.

Just as she was about to answer, Mrs. Ding spoke first, "Mingpinxuan! I didn't expect to use a fake to fool us. Your Majesty, you Ding Yao will strictly investigate Mingpinxuan and make the decision for us!"

Ding Yao closed her eyes slightly, cursing inwardly.
