Chapter 988: A Concubine in Her Previous Life
However, after hundreds of years, there are very few authentic works of Master Yu Bai left in the world. Even if there are any, no one knows who has collected them.
It can be said that it is no exaggeration to describe Master Yu Bai’s paintings as priceless!
All the ministers who can appear at the palace banquet are well-read and must like to show off their culture.
Especially some painting fans, when they saw the paintings presented by King Jin, their eyes were wide open and they couldn't take their eyes away.
They are old, and usually they are powerless to pamper beautiful women even if they want to... But they really like this painting!
Under normal circumstances, if they knew that Master Yu Bai's original painting had appeared in the world, they would definitely try every means to collect it. Even if the painting was in the Prince of Jin's mansion, they would still beg for it with shameless face.
However, today, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival gift presented by His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin to Your Majesty. Who would dare to go up and beg Your Majesty to give it up?
It is worth my life to be able to watch it today.
For a moment, everyone sighed and said, "Your Highness Prince Jin and His Majesty really have a deep brotherly love, which is a blessing for our Great Zhou!"
"Yes! From His Royal Highness Prince Jin and His Majesty, I understand what it means to be a brotherly friend and respectful brother!"
"If the late emperor knew that His Royal Highness Prince Jin treated Your Majesty with such respect, I'm sure his spirit in heaven would be very satisfied."
"This brotherhood really moves us!"
"..."
Nangong Xuanyu's gaze fell on the painting "Fishing Alone in the Cold River" and his eyes deepened.
He naturally also knew the value of Master Yu Bai's authentic works.
Especially "Fishing Alone in a Cold River" is the most famous painting among all the works of Master Yu Bai!
The gift from Prince Jin was indeed valuable, and he liked it.
However, Nangong Xuanyu understood the purpose of King Jin's grand move.
After today, everyone will understand how respectful and loyal Prince Jin is to his royal brother.
If he does anything detrimental to Prince Jin again, everyone will think that he is an intolerant emperor. He has already ascended the throne, but he still wants to kill Prince Jin who is extremely respectful to him. This is really cruel!
This is an open conspiracy by the King of Jin!
Nangong Xuanyu's smile did not reach his eyes, but his words were very gentle: "Prince Jin is thoughtful."
"I like this gift very much. Come, give me some wine."
Li Changde replied "Yes" and took the top-quality osmanthus wine that only emperors could drink and brought it to the banquet table of King Jin.
Prince Jin stood up and said respectfully, "Thank you, my royal brother!"
Princess Yun'an, Princess Qingyang and Princess Wenshu watched this scene, and a hint of smile appeared in their eyes.
Although they did not participate in the fight for the throne, they understood how thrilling it was when ten princes were fighting for the throne!
They watched their brothers die one after another, and it would be a lie to say they were not afraid.
Fortunately, all the troubles have subsided now. The relationship between the emperor and the eight bird is so good that they, as sisters, feel extremely relieved when seeing this.
Many people present were deceived by this harmonious appearance.
But Shen Zhinian had the memories of her past life, and coupled with her understanding of Nangong Xuanyu, she naturally noticed the dark light that flashed in this man's eyes.
However, what Shen Zhinian is most concerned about now is...
Her eyes fell on the painting "Fishing Alone on a Cold River" below. Her expression suddenly became meaningful and she slowly stood up and walked over there.
In her previous life, the original copy of "Fishing Alone on a Cold River" was in her hands. So what was this painting that Prince Jin took out today?
"and many more."
Shen Zhinian stopped the eunuch who was putting the scroll away and said with a smile, "I heard that Master Yu Bai's original work is worth a fortune. I am lucky enough to see it today. Prince Jin should not mind me taking a closer look, right?"
When King Jin's gaze fell on Shen Zhinian, a flash of interest flashed in his eyes.
He didn't know that Concubine Chen was also interested in Master Yu Bai's paintings.
If he had known this, he would not have presented this painting to his brother today.
As long as Concubine Chen is willing to let him have a good fight, he can offer her the painting "Fishing Alone on the Cold River" with both hands!
It’s a pity... Such an attractive woman, I wonder when he will be able to have sex with her?
Prince Jin had a gentle smile on his face and said jokingly, "I have presented this painting to my brother. Concubine Chen should ask my brother."
"But considering my brother's love for Concubine Chen, I'm sure he won't mind."
Compared with Nian Nian, no matter how precious Master Yu Bai’s original works are, they are nothing.
It is a blessing for this painting that it can arouse Nian Nian's interest.
Nangong Xuanyu originally wanted to give the painting "Fishing Alone on the Cold River" to Nian Nian, but seeing the jealous looks on everyone's faces, he decided not to bring hatred to Nian Nian in such an occasion.
Although being the most favored person also means being the most jealous and hated person, Nangong Xuanyu still wants to protect Nian Nian to the greatest extent possible.
Later, let Li Changde send "Fishing Alone on the Cold River" to Zhongcui Palace.
Nangong Xuanyu looked at Shen Zhinian and said gently, "Noble Concubine Chen can enjoy it to your heart's content."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Two young eunuchs have already unfolded the painting.
Shen Zhinian was wearing a gorgeous palace dress and looked at the picture carefully with her head lowered.
Little did they know that this picture, to some people, is more attractive than the paintings of Master Yu Bai...
Shen Zhinian looked carefully for a while, but couldn't see anything wrong. A hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes.
A lover in her previous life, whose real identity was the descendant of Master Yu Bai.
However, he did not inherit Master Yu Bai's talent for painting, and over the generations, the ancestral family business was squandered.
He lived an extremely miserable life, and the only treasure in his hand was the original copy of "Fishing Alone on a Cold River".
But the man understood that this was the last treasure left by his ancestors, and he would never sell it even if he died of poverty or starvation!
He knew in his heart that his family had fallen on hard times, and with his current status, he would not be able to protect the painting anyway.
After all, there are so many dignitaries in the capital, and any one of them can take his life.
So the man changed his name and lived in Beijing in anonymity with the original painting.
Fortunately, he was born with a very handsome face, and by chance he caught Shen Zhinian's eye. She treated him as a little toy to entertain herself.
Later, the man gradually fell in love with Shen Zhinian and fell in love with her uncontrollably. Not only did he reveal his life story to her, he also presented the painting "Fishing Alone on the Cold River" to Shen Zhinian.
She used this painting as a stepping stone to help Lu Jianglin, which enabled him to make a qualitative leap in his career and to have a successful career from then on!
After rebirth, Shen Zhinian only wanted power and wealth, so naturally she was not interested in those little things that could relieve boredom. If she hadn't seen this painting "Fishing Alone on a Cold River" today, she would have almost forgotten what happened in her previous life...
Calculating the time, at this time in his life, the lover should still be living in anonymity and leading a poor life with the painting "Fishing Alone on the Cold River".
