The pace suddenly stopped, Jiang Changning's expression became stern, the emperor actually blocked her on this road!

"Princess, she is the empress," Xiao Chun reported.

Jiang Changning breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that the queen was sitting in a pavilion not far ahead on the left. She frowned slightly, got off the stairs, and walked towards the pavilion.

"Jiang from the Prince's Palace of Jin has met the Queen and wishes her well-being." Jiang Changning suspected that the Queen and the Emperor were of the same species and that they were playing tricks on themselves, so there was no need to use the usual self-identification.

Although this is of no use, it can still be used to distract people.

If she is not happy, why should she make the other person happy?

"Princess Jin, you don't need to be polite." The queen supported her with both hands.

Jiang Changning stood up straight, smiling calmly, his eyes cold.

"This palace is too spacious. It is rare for Princess Jin to enter the palace. I am afraid that Princess Jin will get lost and go to a place that women should not go. I came here specifically to accompany Princess Jin. Princess Jin will not refuse, right?"

The Queen's words made Jiang Changning stunned at first, and then he was happy. A faint smile appeared in his eyes. The help that came to him must be used, "With your Majesty by your side, no one will lead you the wrong way."

Jiang Changning, accompanied by the queen, entered the Fushou Palace.

"The queen is here!" The queen mother did not like her daughter-in-law. She did not choose the queen, but the heroes who put the emperor on the throne.

"I heard that my mother has acquired a calligraphy and painting by a famous artist, and my daughter-in-law also wants to take a look at it and learn more about it," the queen said with a smile.

The Empress Dowager summoned Jiang Changning to the palace to appreciate calligraphy and paintings by famous artists. It was just an excuse. She mainly asked about the situation in Prince Jin's palace.

The queen stepped in and made the queen mother unable to say something clearly. She endured her anger and ordered the maid to bring a calligraphy and painting.

There were many things in the Queen Mother's warehouse, so the maid randomly picked a calligraphy and painting and brought it in.

After unfolding it, Jiang Changning almost couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

This "Picture of Pines and Cranes Prolonging the Year" is clearly a birthday gift from the Jin Palace to the Queen Mother during the Qianqiu Festival.

Taking the gift from Prince Jin's Mansion and summoning Princess Jin to the palace to taste it, what's going on?

"This painting." Jiang Changning deliberately studied it for a moment, "It looks a bit familiar to me."

"It doesn't look familiar. This is a birthday gift from the Jin Palace to the queen mother." The queen also did not want to see the queen mother. She was the master of the harem, and the queen mother was above her and interfered in palace affairs.

The Queen Mother's expression is quite wonderful.

The person who came to her rescue was Gao Yanyun, "The Queen has been admiring this painting these days. When they heard that the Queen wanted to paint it, the palace people mistakenly thought that the Queen wanted this painting."

The Queen Mother's expression softened and she said, "Go and get that "Hibiscus and Golden Pheasant" painting."

"Yes, empress." Gao Yanyun went to the warehouse to find the "Hibiscus and Golden Pheasant".

"Hibiscus and Golden Pheasant" was painted by Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, with hibiscus, golden pheasant, butterflies and chrysanthemums on it.

There is also a poem inscribed by Huizong: The strength of autumn resists the blooming of frost, the golden-feathered rooster of Eguan has all the five virtues, and ease is better than the falcon.

In the painting, a branch of hibiscus stretches out from the left side, a golden pheasant perches on the flower branch, two colorful butterflies chase and play in the upper right corner, and a clump of autumn chrysanthemums dances in the wind in the lower left corner.

Two hibiscus flowers were half-open quietly, and a golden pheasant suddenly flew over the hibiscus branches, bending the branches and breaking the tranquility.

The branches trembled slightly, but the golden pheasant ignored it and looked back at the pair of dancing butterflies.

The whole painting has clear layers, alternating between density and density, and is full of the vitality of autumn colors.

Although Song Huizong was a mediocre and incompetent emperor, he was very accomplished in calligraphy and painting, much better than a certain emperor who was known as the Perfect Old Man.

It's just that history changed in the middle period of the Liao Kingdom. Due to the rebellion of the brothers, the Liao Kingdom was divided into three parts, and then it was unified by Gui Jun and established the Gui Kingdom.

In the last years of the Gui Kingdom, the people were in dire straits, and the Helian clan rose up and seized power. This resulted in the disappearance of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties that Jiang Changning was familiar with.

"Chun'an, what do you think of this painting "Hibiscus and Golden Pheasant"?" asked the Queen Mother.

"The vivid and realistic depiction of the golden pheasant, the meticulous brushwork, the bright colors, and the poetic meaning are all present in it. It is indeed a treasure in the painting." Jiang Changning spoke generally.

The queen also praised: "The colors are gorgeous, elegant and noble, showing the royal grace and wealth."

"This golden pheasant is beautifully painted, with colorful and luxurious feathers," said the Queen Mother.

The queen responded: "Yes, the feathers of this chicken are really well drawn. Look at the yellow feathers on the head of the chicken. It has a fluffy feel. The feathers on the tail are long and hard, dense and not messy."

The Queen Mother frowned, but continued according to her original intention: "A chicken is a chicken. Even if it has gorgeous feathers, it is still a chicken. It is not like the phoenix, which is the king of birds."

These words had a certain meaning. Jiang Changning understood that he was trying to hit her.

She is a human, not a chicken, and she doesn't bother to be a phoenix.

But she knew that if she didn't respond, the Queen Mother would continue to nag her and call her into the palace.

"Chickens have chicken nests, and phoenixes have phoenix nests. Although chickens are ordinary, they are virtuous birds. As the saying goes, they would rather be chicken heads than phoenix tails." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

The Queen Mother's face changed slightly. She didn't expect Jiang Changning to lose control.

At this time, the queen also agreed, "The chicken is an auspicious bird, and this poor phoenix is ​​not as good as the chicken."

Jiang Changning doesn't want to enter the palace, which is a good thing!

The shameless old man helps his son do such a dirty and despicable thing. It is indeed a despicable thing to serve the emperor with sex.

Jiang Changning was out of control, and the Queen Mother was already furious. The Queen's words only added fuel to the fire.

What does it mean that a down-and-out phoenix is ​​inferior to a chicken?

Don’t you know that the emperor is a dragon and the queen is a phoenix?

The Queen Mother said angrily: "If you don't know how to speak, just shut up."

The queen was now more sure that the queen mother was helping the emperor to pimp her. She felt shameless and said sternly: "That's what the saying goes."

It means that she didn't say anything wrong.

Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were about to fight, Jiang Changning happily quit and watched the show from the side.

"The phoenix is ​​a mythical beast, and the chicken is just a poultry, how can they be compared?" The Queen Mother decided that the phoenix was more noble than the chicken.

When she was a concubine, what she envied most and wanted to wear the most was the queen's bright yellow phoenix robe.

After becoming the Queen Mother, all her clothes were embroidered with phoenix patterns.

The queen thought that the queen mother was trying to persuade Jiang Changning to enter the palace. Concubines could not wear phoenix robes, only the queen could.

Does the Queen Mother want Jiang Changning to replace her and become the Queen?

In the previous dynasty, there were married women who changed their names and entered the harem and became imperial concubines.

The queen was angry. She had been diligently managing palace affairs for all these years as queen. Even if she had no merit, she still had hard work, right?

The Queen Mother wants to take away her position as Queen, no way!

"The chicken and the phoenix are two things that are the same thing. It is said in "The Legend of the Filial Son" that, 'Father Shun was lying down at night and dreamed of a phoenix, so he named himself a chicken.' It is also said in "Zhenglu" that during the time of the Yellow Emperor,

Use the phoenix as a chicken." The queen quoted from the scriptures.

The Queen Mother's face turned completely cold, and she said with a strange tone: "The Queen has read a lot of books."

"My grandfather once said: Reading can help you to understand reason, understanding reason is to cultivate your character, and cultivating your character is to be a human being." The Queen pointed to the Queen Mother.
