Chapter 124: Once a Best Friend

When Chi Xinian led the people to the door of the imperial study in a hurry, Yan Chujing had not yet gone down.

The waiter guarding the imperial study thought of the emperor's favor for the queen, and after a little hesitation, he let Chi Xinian go into the study and waited: "Niangniang, the sun is dazzling outside, you should go inside to drink tea and rest." ”

"Okay." Chi Xinian was not polite, lifted the skirt and entered the study.

It wasn't the first time she had come back to the imperial study, but when she came before, her attention was on Yan Chujing. At this time, without Yan Chujing, she had time to take a good look at this study.

Without the coercion of the emperor, the study suddenly became a little less solemn and more elegant.

The bluegrass on the windowsill grows vigorously in the sun, and you can see that the owner has taken good care of them. The soft sunlight poured in, reflecting the joy of the bluegrass and brightening the neat bookshelves.

On both sides of the bookshelf, there is also a painting, a picture of the rising moon in the sea, and a thousand miles of Jiangling travel, which seem to reveal the yearning for open nature.

"Your Majesty painted this?" Chi Xinian took the tea served in one hand, and stroked the nominations and seals on the scroll with the other, secretly amazed.

Can't you see that a person with a temperament like Yan Chujing still yearns for nature?

"Your Majesty did it when he was young." The chamberlain replied respectfully, "These two paintings were made when His Majesty was fourteen years old, when His Majesty was still the King of Ning, and he was not as busy as he is now, and when he had nothing to do, he always liked to write and paint.

"These two paintings, made by His Majesty and a friend when they talked about the magnificent mountains and rivers of Dajing, contain the vigor of their youth, and are the most loved by His Majesty.

"Therefore, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, they have been hung in the imperial study and have not been replaced."

"Friends? Does he still have friends? Chi Xinian raised his eyebrows and asked casually.

But as soon as the words came out, she pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment: "Cough... It's not that His Majesty can't make friends, but I'm just curious, what kind of person can make Your Majesty condescend and have fellowship with him? ”

"It's the son of Zeng Taifu, Zeng Yujin and Zeng's son." The chamberlain didn't care about Chi Xinian's subconscious words, smiled, and told the origin of that friend.

"Zeng Yujin..."Chi Xinian silently recited the name several times, "It seems to be a little familiar, but I can't remember it clearly, but... Isn't the son of the Zeng family already over thirty years old? Your Majesty is only twenty and one, how can the two of them..."

"What Niangniang said is the eldest son of the Zeng family, Zeng Yushu." The chamberlain explained, "Zeng Taifu has two sons, one is Zeng Yushu, the eldest son who has already started a family, and the other is... Zeng Yujin, the little son who unfortunately died when he was a teenager. ”

After a pause, he said: "Zeng Xiaogongzi is amazingly talented and brilliant, he is a rare young genius, and he is a proud person like His Majesty, and he often praises his talent and articles.

"It's a pity that his life is not good enough, and before he can display his talents, he will die and sleep forever..."

"That's the case..."Chi Xinian suddenly said.

No wonder her name sounds familiar, she thinks she heard such a talented person mentioned when she was young.

Thinking like this, she asked again: "Why did he go at such a young age?" Is it bad health? ”

"I heard that it was a sudden illness, but there are also people who make up other reasons behind it." The chamberlain seemed reluctant to talk about this topic more, so he lightly said a word, and said, "The slave and maid were just miscellaneous servants in King Ning's mansion at that time, and they didn't know about the masters. If you want to know, why don't you wait and ask Your Majesty directly? ”
