Chapter 998 Make Princess Yun'an Kneel Down (78 Reward Value Plus)
"As we all know, Master Yu Bai invented the folded-belt texture technique. When he painted rocks, the turning points were as hard and square as if they were cut by an axe. However, the copyist of this painting had insufficient wrist strength and added an extra virtual stroke where the texture patterns overlapped."
"besides……"
As Shen Zhinian pointed out all the details one by one, these senior ministers and university scholars looked at "Fishing Alone on the Cold River" more carefully.
Several people followed Shen Zhinian's words, observed the state of ecstasy, and nodded repeatedly: "It's true!"
“The rocks in this painting look no different from those in Master Yu Bai’s works, but the strength of the overlapping textures is lighter.”
"We call ourselves masters of calligraphy and painting, but our knowledge is not as good as that of the young Concubine Chen!"
"Your Majesty, I am grateful for your advice!"
"..."
Shen Zhinian said calmly: "Every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses. My lords, please don't praise me too much, nor be too modest."
The less arrogant and impatient she was, the more admiring the ministers looked at her.
Not to mention the young ministers.
In the past, what they heard the most was the beauty and charming temperament of Concubine Chen. Today, they learned that beauty was only the least noticeable advantage of Concubine Chen.
They said that His Majesty was not a man who coveted beauty, and that the reason he doted on Concubine Chen so much must be not just because of her looks.
Bai Mufeng smiled and said, "The Imperial Concubine Chen is Brother Jiang's sister-in-law. It's a pity that Brother Jiang was sent out by His Majesty early on and was unable to see today's grand occasion. It's really a pity."
Zhou Yuhu nodded and said: "If Brother Jiang were here, he would definitely feel tolerant of such a wise sister!"
Even so, many people still have confusion in their hearts.
Princess Yun An was the first to lose her temper. She frowned and asked, "If that's the case, why is the seal on this painting Master Yu Bai's seal?"
"Noble Concubine Chen, how do you explain this?"
Shen Zhinian curled his lips and smiled: "Because the person who copied this painting is Master Yu Bai's only son and his direct disciple, Master Yu Mo!"
“Isn’t it normal for a son to copy his father’s paintings and then put his father’s seal on them?”
She still remembered the lover from her previous life, and when he told her about this, there was a smile in his eyes.
Because Master Yu Mo inherited all the true teachings of Master Yu Bai in painting, many people in later generations could not tell the difference between the two paintings.
Especially the "Fishing Alone in a Cold River" which was carefully copied by Master Yu Mo, it is so lifelike that it can be mistaken for the real thing!
If the concubine was not a descendant of the Yu family and the original was in his hands, he would probably not be able to know it in such detail.
Until this moment, everyone finally realized: "So that's it!"
"No wonder even the cabinet ministers and the Grand Secretary couldn't tell whether it was real or fake. It turns out that this painting was actually made by Master Yu Bai's son!"
"To be disrespectful, Master Yu Mo is really naughty. Not only did he copy his father's paintings, he also put his father's seal on them. Doesn't this add a lot of difficulty to the appraisers of future generations?"
"If it weren't for Concubine Chen today, I'm afraid everyone would have been 'deceived' by Master Yu Mo."
"..."
Some old ministers who understood the emperor's mind very well originally thought that after receiving a hint from His Majesty, they would find a way to say that the painting was a fake, but they did not expect... that it was indeed a fake.
The leading elder bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the truth is now clear. This painting is not the original "Fishing Alone on a Cold River", but a copy by Master Yu Bai's son."
Everyone understood what he meant, which was that although the painting was a fake, it could still be considered an antique.
After all, although Master Yu Mo is not as famous as Master Yu Bai, his works are also valuable!
It was not until this moment that Xuanbin finally let go of her worries.
fine! fine!
The painting is a fake, and Sister Guifei Chen will be fine.
After reacting, Xuanbin's eyes looked at Shen Zhinian even brighter, full of admiration.
How come Concubine Chen is so smart and powerful!
When Xue Fei's cold gaze fell on Shen Zhinian, there was also a hint of admiration in her eyes.
Some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others were very unwilling.
Of course, no one is stupid enough to show their true emotions.
Concubine Zhuang smiled gently and sighed, "Just now I thought that Concubine Chen had drunk too much and therefore misidentified the ancient painting. I didn't expect that Concubine Chen was so knowledgeable and well-informed. I really admire her!"
Concubine Chun turned pale and looked at Concubine Zhuang sarcastically.
I'm afraid that at this moment, Concubine Zhuang must have been gritting her teeth in her heart, but she was still able to praise Concubine Chen with a smile on her face.
Sometimes she really admired Concubine Zhuang. Are people in the Great Zhou so tolerant?
Isn’t Concubine Zhuang afraid that she might get sick from anger at such a young age?
I heard that before she entered the palace, there was a queen in the palace, but she was deposed.
The deposed queen finally ascended to the position of mother of the country, but died of illness at a young age.
As the saying goes, if you keep your emotions in your heart, you will get sick easily. Concubine Zhuang keeps her emotions in her heart all day long. Isn't she afraid of following the footsteps of the deposed empress?
Shen Maoxue sat upright in a chair, a barely visible smile on his elegant face.
Sure enough, he guessed right.
A good father will have a good daughter. How could Concubine Chen do something that she is not sure of and harm her own interests?
This time, he bet right again!
Princess Yun'an took two steps back, her defiant eyes filled with disbelief!
How, how could this be?!
She always thought that Concubine Chen was looking for trouble. It was really unlucky to target the starling on such a good day!
I never thought... the truth was exactly as Concubine Chen said, the painting presented by mynah brother was a fake...
So...she misunderstood Concubine Chen?
Thinking of herself, who had just been so eager to stand up for the starling and acted aggressively, at this moment, Princess Yun'an looked at Shen Zhinian with an extremely complicated look...
Shen Zhinian doesn't care whether Princess Yun'an is being true to her nature or just being reckless and abusive.
The other party has offended her repeatedly, she will never indulge Princess Yun'an again!
At this moment, Shen Zhinian's sharp eyes shot straight at Princess Yun'an: "I remember that Princess Yun'an just swore that if this painting is really a fake as I said, you will kneel down and pour tea to me to admit your mistake!"
"I wonder if this still counts?!"
Many people gasped in shock!
Princess Yun'an is the daughter of the late emperor, the emperor's sister, and the first-rank princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
No matter how favored Concubine Chen was, she was only a concubine of the second rank.
How dare she, how dare she, in such an occasion, let Princess Yun'an kneel down in front of everyone and pour her tea to admit her mistake!
Isn't this just arrogance due to being spoiled?
Isn’t Concubine Chen afraid that His Majesty will be angry?
