Chapter 23: Suitability or Not
Only Qi Yuan was left in the imperial study, and he was sitting on a bright yellow chair, his expression looking very indistinguishable.
Chang De looked at Qi Yuan's appearance and knew that His Majesty was thinking about something important on time, and asked the people waiting to retreat and wait by himself, ready to respond to any needs of Qi Yuan at any time.
In fact, Qi Yuan was really thinking about something, but he didn't know if it was a big deal.
It's about Qingshao.
When Fu Xiuyuan proposed that he should choose a concubine to become the mother of the future prince earlier, Qi Yuan's first thought was Qing Shao, which was really an incredible thing for Qi Yuan, not to mention that he didn't know what Qing Shao's character was, just talking about Qing Shao's identity was a very big problem.
A palace maid.
The law of the Yan Kingdom stipulates that a woman who is promoted from a court maid cannot become a queen.
The status of the palace maid in Yan is very low, even inferior to the ordinary folk girl, although there is a system of twenty-five-year-old palace maids being released, but most palace maids will choose to stay in the palace to become grandmothers, because when women usually marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen, twenty-five-year-old women cannot find a good man, and some palace maids would rather stay in the palace.
But if Qi Yuan really chose Qing Shao, he didn't want his prince's mother to be not the queen.
Qi Yuan was not born to the queen, and his mother was not named the queen, so when he ascended the throne, there were two queen mothers, one was his biological mother Queen Mother Yang, and the other was the Queen Mother Song who was the queen at that time. Now that the Song family is the Empress Dowager of the East, her status is above the Yang family, and she has to be under the control of the Empress Dowager Song everywhere, even Qi Yuan can't meddle in the affairs between the two.
This is the law of the kingdom of Yan.
Therefore, Qi Yuan will definitely not let his emperor face such a situation in the future.
Qi Yuan suddenly felt a headache.
"Your Majesty, would you like to have some snacks?" Changde asked cautiously.
Qi Yuan shook his head, then stood up: "Let's go to the Imperial Garden for a walk." ”
Going to the Imperial Garden again?
Changde's eyes flashed.
He really hadn't found the Royal Garden so attractive to his majesty before, this was the first time he had been to the Imperial Garden, and now in winter, except for a few red plums, there is no scenery to watch.
But thinking about it in his heart, Changde still followed Qi Yuan to the Imperial Garden.
The Imperial Garden is naturally not comparable to ordinary gardens, but even if the best scenery arrives in winter, the season when everything sleeps peacefully, there is nothing left, and although the color of a few red plums is gorgeous, it is like this after looking at it for a long time.
Qi Yuan looked at the depression in his eyes and sighed.
He didn't know why he suddenly had such a big obsession with the Imperial Garden......
"See Your Majesty!"
Qi Yuan was immersed in his thoughts when he heard a female voice, and he turned around.
The face of the person who came was exquisite, the face of the melon seeds was white and tender like jade, and a pair of shallow pear vortices showed a hint of cuteness. The cherry red tight-fitting robe sleeved top, covered with an emerald green smoke yarn loose flower skirt underneath, a golden soft smoke ribbon tied around the waist, a black hair with a double bun, with a flying butterfly hollow emerald hairpin, and a hibiscus-colored beaded step, the movement is slightly shaken, and it looks very light. Because of the cold, there was a white fox fur on the outside, which was only loosely tied with a strap on his chest.
This person is Xin Guiren, a newcomer who only entered the palace in the last draft, he is eighteen years old, and his appearance is only ranked after Concubine Shu in the harem.
"It's so cold, I really don't have enough clothes." Qi Yuan looked at Xin Guiren and said.
Qi Yuan's tone was cold and didn't make people feel any warmth, but he had been by Qi Yuan's side for three years, and Xin Guiren didn't care at all, and it was already excellent that the emperor could say such words that seemed to be caring.
"The concubine just went out for a walk at random, and went back immediately." Xin Guiren showed a delicate smile.
The difference between Xin Guiren and the concubines next to her is that she is very knowledgeable and interesting, and she is good at guessing Qi Yuan's thoughts.
"If the emperor has nothing to do, the concubine will retire." Xingui made a sideways salute.
Qi Yuan was still very satisfied with Xin Guiren's knowledge and knowledge, but ...... Since Qing Shao is not a suitable candidate, why don't he choose her again, this Xin Guiren seems to be a good candidate.
"I'll accompany you back to Qingzhi Palace." Qi Yuan changed his mind and said.
If ordinary people heard the emperor say this, they would be overjoyed, but Xin Guiren just nodded, showing a faint smile, as if what the emperor did was a very ordinary thing for her.
But Qi Yuan also likes the appearance of Xin Guiren who is not shocked.
Qingzhi Palace is located on the south side of the Imperial Garden, and it is only half an hour away from the Imperial Garden, so Qi Yuan does not feel abnormal about the behavior of Xin Guiren appearing in the Imperial Garden.
Qingzhi Palace is very elegant and quiet, the layout is also plain, at this time there is a purple gold incense burner on the eaves of the window, and the quiet fragrance wafts from the road.
Qi Yuan sniffed this faint fragrance, and his mind was much calmer.
Xin Guiren has taken off her white fox fur, her face is much more ruddy than outside, she is pouring tea for Qi Yuan, her white hands are calm with blue porcelain pots, which is very pleasing to the eye.
"What is lacking now, I can say it, and I can answer it." Qi Yuan took a sip of fragrant tea, and when he was in a good mood, he naturally did not hesitate to reward.
"There is nothing missing on the side, but," Xin Guiren smiled, "The concubine wants the emperor's imperial study of the "Mountain Map", I wonder if the emperor can cut his love?" ”
Xin Guiren understands Qi Yuan's temperament, and if Qi Yuan promises to give something, he will definitely not like that person to pretend to shirk, so she also opened her mouth unceremoniously.
Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows, and then instructed Chang De to let him get the "Mountain Map" later.
The painter of "Mountain Map" is Qi Yuan, and Xin Guiren knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is not appropriate to ask for Qi Yuan's paintings, and Qi Yuan is naturally not stingy.
"I can't paint as well as your grandfather." Qi Yuan said.
Xin Guiren's background is not noble, his father is only four grades, but Xin Guiren's grandfather is indeed a famous painter in Yan State, and is respected by many people, Qi Yuan also likes the paintings of Xin Guiren's grandfather very much, and has studied from Xin Guiren's grandfather for a period of time, which is considered to be a master and apprentice.
"Grandfather said that he is better than when he is older, and the emperor is only standing now, and he will definitely be able to catch up with his grandfather in the future." Xin Guiren replied with a smile.
Qi Yuan was noncommittal, he couldn't practice like ordinary people who love painting, and he didn't have that kind of time.
However, Qi Yuan has always felt that Xin Guiren still feels very comfortable when he speaks.
