Chapter 338 - The portrait of the Empress was about to be destroyed  



Chapter 338: Chapter 338. The portrait of the Empress was about to be destroyed

Qiao ruoi pushed the door open and entered, taking out the portrait.

Xie Yun saw the portrait and was about to retrieve it. Qiao ruoi placed the portrait behind her, “Family head Xie, since this portrait is Miss Xie Yun’s relic, even if it’s going to be destroyed, we have to go to Xie Yun’s memorial tablet and burn it.”

Xie Yun frowned and said, “This portrait is not suitable for outsiders to know. Xie Yun’s memorial tablet is in Jiangnan…”

“There’s no need for that. Our West Mountain Academy has Miss Xie Yun’s memorial tablet, and she is worshipped by the female students of West Mountain Academy every day.”

As Qiao Ruoyi spoke, she walked into Xie Yun’s memorial hall. Xie Yun entered the black and White Memorial Hall, and as soon as he entered, he smelled a deep sandalwood fragrance. The one who entered was his own memorial tablet.

When he raised his head again, he saw a golden statue. Xie Yun walked closer to take a look. “Is the golden body on this statue real gold?”

Qiao ruoyi nodded. “Yes.”

Xie Yun:”…”it was difficult for West Mountain Academy to still remember Xie Yun. However, seeing his own memorial tablet, Xie Yun could not help but feel a little unable to accept it.

Qiao ruoyi took out three sticks of sandalwood incense and gave it to Xie Yun. “Family head Xie.”

Xie Yun took the three sticks of incense from Qiao Ruoyi’s hands, worshiped her, and placed the incense in the incense burner.

Qiao ruoyi also took three sticks of incense. When she placed the incense in the incense burner, she accidentally burned her hand with the incense ash.

Xie Yun frowned slightly and said, “You and Qiao Jinniang are indeed sisters. You would be hurt by the incense ash even if you were to offer it.”

Xie Yun recalled that Qiao Jinniang was only six years old at the time. When her parents went to offer incense, her hand was burned by the incense ash until it had a small blister. At that time, mother Qiao was extremely distressed, so she decided not to bring Qiao Jinniang to the temple anymore.

Qiao ruoi covered her hands and said, “Family head Xie, I think this is Miss Xie’s work. She doesn’t want us to burn her painting. This painting has been around for many years. Miss Xie’s painting shouldn’t have been burned.”

Xie Yun frowned and looked at Qiao ruoi. “No, it has to be burned.”

Qiao Ruoi hid the painting in her sleeve and said, “Miss Xie Yun has already given me a hint. I shouldn’t have burned Miss Xie’s work.”

Xie Yun saw Qiao ruoyi hiding in her sleeve and said, “Actually, this painting wasn’t painted by Xie Yun, but by me. When I was young, I was seriously ill. When I saw the empress give me a piece of cake, I drew her.

“Now your sister is the empress, and now the Emperor and Empress are not on good terms. If this small painting is known by His Majesty or someone with good intentions, I’m afraid it will harm your sister.”

Qiao ruoyi said, “Who said that the Emperor and my sister are not on good terms? How can the emperor be such a petty person? Also, there is clearly a Yun character written at the bottom of this portrait. This was drawn by Xie Yun, not by you.

“Even Xie Yun’s spirit in heaven did not allow me to burn it. It can be seen that Xie Yun cherishes this painting in her heart.”

Xie Yun:”…”

How could he not know when his spirit had appeared.

Xie Yun said, “It seems that fifth Miss Qiao doesn’t want the only copy of the famous one?”

Qiao ruoi snorted lightly. “Mencius once said that wealth can not be indulged in debauchery, poverty can not be moved, power can not be subdued, and two of the only copies of the famous one can not buy me off. Moreover, I am an official of the imperial court, and my two sleeves are clean…”

“Five copies!”Xie Yun made a hand gesture and said, “Five of the only copies of the famous one, together with Wang Youjun’s snow-time clear invitation, the real work!”

Ever since the great ancestor, Wang Youjun’s real work had been popular in great Tang. Only during the era of the Hui Lin Emperor did people know about the calligraphy of the Liu family. In fact, the current Liu family was still far inferior to Wang Youjun’s.

If Wang Youjun’s calligraphy could get a real work, it would be extremely difficult. The real work of the great ancestor’s right army was already rare.

If it was the real work of the snow-time calligraphy… she was not poor and could not be moved..

Xie Yun gritted his teeth and said, “Qiao ruoyi, don’t be too greedy!”

Qiao ruoyi said, “Seeing is believing. The calligraphy of Wang Youjun is powerful and elegant, like a dragon leaping over the heavenly gate and a tiger crouching in a Phoenix’s nest. It is a treasure that has been passed down through the generations. Back then, it was difficult to even find an authentic painting. Even the Qiao family might not have an authentic painting. How can I believe you?”

Xie Yun said, “Back then, Wang Xie was an aristocratic family in the land of Wuyue. Our ancestors even wanted to marry the Wang family. The Xie family has been an aristocratic family for thousands of years. Would they lie to you if they had an authentic painting of Wang Youjun?”

Qiao ruo wrapped a handkerchief around her burnt finger and said, “No wonder I don’t believe it. The real work of Wang Youjun is priceless. Is it worth it for you to ask me to destroy a small portrait drawn by your sister?”

If Qiao Ruo obtained the real work of Wang Youjun, no matter how poor she was, she would not sell the real work of Wang Youjun even if she had to eat dirt and grass.

Even if she starved to death, she would let the authentic work of Wang Youjun be buried with her.

Xie Yun said, “It just so happens that the authentic work of Wang Youjun is in Chang ‘an Xie mansion. If you don’t believe it, you can come to my xie mansion tomorrow to see if it’s authentic.”

Qiao ruoyi replied, “Okay, it’s a deal.”

..

After Hong Qifeng returned to the Hong family, she heard a dispute inside.

“Mother, I don’t want to marry my cousin. Why must I marry my cousin?”Young Master Hong asked, puzzled, “Old Master Ye and Imperial Physician Ye have offended his majesty. What does it have to do with our Hong Family? And what does it have to do with you? Why did you listen to Aunt and let me marry my cousin!”

“Be more obedient. You’re willing to marry that orphan girl who got married twice. What’s wrong with your cousin? Whether you’re willing or not, you have to marry her. The wedding date has been set for one month later!”

Hong Qifeng entered and said, “Mother, why is elder brother’s marriage so urgent?”

Madam Hong said, “After elder Ye was reprimanded by His Majesty, he is seriously ill and will die at any time. Therefore, your cousin ye Suxin’s marriage has to be put on the agenda.”

Young master Hong said, “I won’t marry her!”

“Marriage has always been about the orders of parents. According to the matchmaker, you have to marry her even if you don’t want to!”

Hong Qifeng advised young master hong, “Brother, don’t make mother unhappy. Come out with me.”

Hong Yinglong had always listened to her sister’s words. After she left, she heard Hong Qifeng say.., “Brother, the Ye family’s decline has something to do with mother. The aunt of the Ye family told mother about His Majesty’s use of the Pill to avoid children, and mother also told Madam Lin about it. This caused His Majesty to be furious.

“But mother’s original intention was also for his majesty’s Sake and to fulfill her duty as a minister. Now that the Ye family has fallen, Sister Suxin and Aunt Ye are difficult to deal with. You should agree to marry cousin suxin.”

Hong Yinglong said, “I’m not going to marry, sister. Doesn’t His Majesty think highly of You?”? At His Majesty’s Birthday Banquet Yesterday, the gift you gave made his majesty smile with joy. Why Don’t you go to His Majesty and plead on behalf of the Ye Family? “The ye family is also thinking about His Majesty’s Dragon Body.”

“You can’t just watch your own brother marry a girl he doesn’t like, right? Ye suxin is unruly and overbearing. If I marry her, there will still be peace in my rear residence. I beg you to save my brother’s Life!”

Hong Qifeng said helplessly, “Then I’ll go to His Majesty and try to plead? Even if I can’t let uncle and old physician ye resume their duties, I only hope that they can practice medicine in Chang ‘an.”

Hong Yinglong smiled and said, “Thank you, Sister. His Majesty thinks so highly of you and will definitely agree.”
