The painting style of the princess in the Red Chamber is wrong

When the emperor poured out the contents of the kit, Concubine Zhen's smile suddenly froze.Looking at the fragments of the jade, it can be seen that the quality of the jade is still good.It's just that the quality of jade depends on the overall situation. Now that it has been broken, it is naturally hard to see clearly.

Concubine Zhen wanted to say that maybe a maid or eunuch in the palace accidentally touched the kit on the ground, causing the jade to shatter.After all, no matter how good jade is, it is also very fragile.This is another small thing, if it falls on the ground...it might break, right?It's just broken like this, which is still exaggerated.

The emperor took a meaningful look and was startled. Concubine Zhen Guifei didn't even think of an excuse, and sighed inwardly.He naturally knew that Zhen Guifei couldn't deliberately reward Shui Jue with broken things, and he probably knew who did it.

The reason why he was in Concubine Zhen's palace this time was because he wanted to appease Concubine Zhen and the eldest prince she gave birth to.Today, in the early court, the emperor deliberately suppressed and reprimanded the eldest prince in order to favor the crown prince. Later, he heard that the eldest prince went to the imperial concubine Zhen's palace to pay her respects.He knew the eldest brother's temper. He had a tough temper, was young and vigorous, more than brave, and lacked thoughtfulness. Although he was quite prestigious in the army, he was too irritable. He never considered making the eldest brother a candidate for the heir apparent.

But for this son who has repeatedly made military exploits, the father is still very proud.And this is his first son, Zhen Guifei is an old man he likes a lot, so he is quite indulgent.Even though he heard that some servants in Concubine Zhen's palace broke some things with careless hands, he didn't take it seriously, and even came here to comfort Concubine Zhen's heart.

Seeing the shattered jade now, the emperor once again sighed in his heart for the boss's irritable temper.Although I didn't intend to say anything, I was in a bad mood after all.

After all, it is a small thing, and I have enough time, it is estimated that the maids and eunuchs have not noticed that this thing is broken, so they will be served.But it also shows that this thing is definitely not taken seriously by Concubine Zhen, otherwise it would have been inspected by the servants in the palace long ago.The emperor is not stupid, he still knows that the women in the palace treat his other children with a bit of sincerity.It's just that the affairs of the court are already tiring enough, and he is too lazy to pursue them.As long as they look virtuous, he will regard these women as really virtuous.Although it is pretending, but being able to keep pretending, isn't it a kind of true virtuousness?

Concubine Zhen didn't pay much attention to Shui Jue, and even had a little reluctance. The emperor knew about it. After all, with the niece of the Zhen family there, it was impossible for Concubine Zhen not to be resentful.But usually she pretended to be very good, so good that she almost forgot about it.Looking at it now, Concubine Zhen really didn't care much, and she didn't even look down on the things that were rewarded casually.It's just that no matter how bad her things are, they are children's gadgets. Even if they don't care, no one will notice.

Only this time it accidentally leaked out.The emperor was still quite complicated.Intellectually, I already knew that Concubine Zhen is not as gentle and virtuous as I imagined, and the boss is not as polite as I imagined, but facing this matter directly and hearing it indirectly will have a different impact on the emperor. .

Thinking about the fact that he didn't have many princes, apart from the one who died young, there were only five princes left.The prince has become more and more arrogant these years, and has lost his sense of propriety; the boss is in cliques and is rude and irritable;And the fourth...

In fact, it is a good one, the queen taught it well.Even though he had deliberately ignored this son for so many years, the emperor had to say something justly in his heart.Although the queen is not as affectionate as the Empress Yuan, she is indeed a polite and virtuous woman. He deliberately neglected the queen because of the queen's family.So he has always felt guilty towards the queen, the fourth child, and Shui Jue, but the more guilty he is, the more he cannot face it.When people get old, they don't like to do things that make them uncomfortable.So since I felt guilty, I simply ignored it more thoroughly.

Fortunately, the child is still fine, whether it is Shui Jue or the fourth child.The emperor knew that although the fourth child did not hold a position, the main force of the foreign family was also cut off by himself.But after all, it is a scholarly family that has been passed down for so many years, a master of culture, and is quite famous among scholars. There are also many relationships in the court that although they are not good friends, they can definitely help a few words.In fact, he only promoted the official positions of a few major people, and did not stop people from collateral families from continuing to serve as officials.So no matter whether it is the prince or the boss, they have all tried to win over the fourth child.However, the fourth child is even more reclusive, and his family is also low-key, and even those with slightly higher positions in collateral officials are either released or resigned for various reasons, staying away from the center of power.

This kid is sober, am I being too harsh on him?

The emperor's thinking is diverging.

However, no matter how divergent his thoughts were, it only took a dozen seconds for his thoughts to flash.When Shui Jue raised his head, the emperor had already put the fragments back into the brocade bag, and took off the jade pendant from his waist: "Jue'er, the emperor also likes the things your concubine gave you, can I exchange them with you?"

Shui Jue's eyes widened: "Father actually robbed Jue'er! Father is a bad guy!"

"I didn't grab it, I traded it." The emperor said seriously, shaking the jade pendant in front of Shui Jue.

Shui Jue pouted: "Jue'er is a good and filial child, and the emperor can change it at will. But it was given by the concubine, so it would be impolite to ask the concubine what she means."

"You child, keep it if the emperor asks you to keep it." Seeing the emperor's reaction, Concubine Zhen knew that the matter had been exposed, and she couldn't help feeling proud.The mess I made this time is not big, but it is definitely not small.The emperor is willing to go around, but it doesn't prove his position in the emperor's heart.

"Since the concubine and mother have said it." Shui Jue took the jade pendant, "I reluctantly exchanged it with my father."

"Reluctantly, that's how it works!" The emperor smiled and pinched Shui Jue's nose, "How did your fourth brother teach you?"

"Brother said, you should use more idioms, you will look more learned, and your father will be happy." Shui Jue carefully put the jade pendant into her small purse, and looked at her father with admiration, "Is your father happy?"

The emperor smiled again at Shui Jue's wrong answer, and his mood improved a lot. He also asked Shui Jue a lot of details about what Shui Jing taught her.

Then the emperor found out from Shui Jue's answer that Shui Jue was indeed taught by Shui Jing, and there was not a single word from the four imperial concubines in Shui Jue's words.

My fourth daughter-in-law... The emperor remembered the sadness that the empress showed when she bypassed the empress to appoint the fourth concubine.At that time, although he was begged by Concubine Zhen, he had a whim.But the family background of the Zhen family is not bad, and I thought it was Concubine Zhen who said that the niece who had watched her grow up must be good.So his attitude towards the queen was very responsive.

Now it seems that the queen has that attitude... alas.After asking the palace servants to send Shui Jue out of the palace, and then looking back at Concubine Zhen who was still smiling gently, without any excuse for her previous behavior, and seemed to have spontaneously exposed the matter of the reward, the emperor felt tired for a while.

In fact, Concubine Zhen was not the gentle, kind, virtuous and courteous woman he knew a long time ago.
