"Mother, the emperor is also very grateful to the queen for helping me ascend to the throne." Zhao Ji said.

The Queen Mother turned around and looked at him and said, "Don't the officials like paintings? The Ai family happened to have a long scroll on hand and asked the officials to comment on it."

"Oh?" Zhao Ji was a little surprised, wondering why the Queen Mother would turn the topic here.

So, the two eunuchs slowly unfolded a long scroll. Zhao Ji walked up and looked at it carefully. He saw that the characters, carriages, horses, pavilions, and city walls in the painting were lifelike.

"The brushwork is exquisite and the characters are different. Such a long scroll is really rare." Zhao Ji praised.

"This painting was made by a man named Zhang Zeduan, who was appointed by the Ai family. Fortunately, it was able to be recognized by the officials."

The Queen Mother's words suddenly lifted Mo Yunxiao's spirits. Could it be that this painting was the famous "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"? She really wanted to get up and take a look together.

Mo Yunxiao had a good idea. This painting would become the famous "Along the River During Qingming Festival".

The Queen Mother pointed to the Bianhe River in the center of the picture and said: "Look, officials, there is a small boat carrying goods in the river. However, the boat seems to be about to hit the Zhouqiao Bridge. The people on the boat shouted loudly, and there were also people running and shouting on the shore. But on the bridge

Many people are still ignorant.”

Zhao Ji took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case. However, he still didn't know the meaning of the Queen Mother's words.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "The city of Tokyo is prosperous everywhere, but for the people on this boat, this boat is their life. If the boat capsizes, they will fall into the water. The people on the bridge will only watch jokes. Officials, you

Am I not the same person in the same boat?"

"Ah?" Zhao Ji was startled and looked at the Queen Mother blankly.

"If someone wants to capsize our boat, we must work together and do our best to get rid of this person." The Queen Mother continued: "Don't let the Ai family use all their strength, otherwise the boat will also capsize."

Zhao Ji already understood what she meant and said, "Your Majesty, it suddenly dawned on me. Thank you, Queen Mother, for your advice."

The Queen Mother turned around and said again: "I heard that King Jian was tried by the three judges and he was convicted of a serious crime. Why has the sentence not been announced for so long?"

"Prince Jian is very powerful in the court, and the emperor dare not deal with it rashly." Zhao Ji replied.

"You don't deal with it rashly, but someone takes a desperate risk." The Queen Mother laughed, sat down again, and said, "The officials have to be careful about this."

"Yes, the emperor understands." Zhao Ji said respectfully.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Well, the maid who risked her life to save you is still asleep in the back. You go and have a look. It's time for the Ai family to return to the palace to rest."
