III Jiangshan

"Baoxiang? Enter the palace to greet your mother and concubine?" Emperor Wei stepped into Fengyi Palace, and the first time he saw Yuan Youqi who got up to pick him up, he was surprised and happy.

"Yes." Yuan Youqi replied respectfully.

Then, she bowed down and saluted, and said: "My son has seen the father!"

Emperor Wei laughed, pulled her up with one hand, and supported Concubine Wei Xian who had just paid homage with the other, and said gently: "It's not in the court, where are there so many rules!"

Concubine Wei Xian quickly thanked her with a smile.

Emperor Wei went to the middle seat on his own, sat down, and let his mother and son sit on the side.

"I approved a few memorials after lunch, and I miss you very much, so I wanted to come and see you." Wei Di said, gently holding Wei Xianfei's catkin with his palm.

Concubine Wei Xian's thoughts were like lightning, but her face was submissive and quiet, she let him lightly shake her hand, and said with a warm smile: "Your Majesty is thinking about my concubines, this is the concubine's blessing, but please give me more help." It’s good to put the country’s affairs first.”

Emperor Wei was not surprised, he still closed her hand in his own, and said softly: "Aifei really deserves the title of 'virtuous'. If all the women in the palace are like Aifei, my lord Wei He worries about eternal life?"

Concubine Wei Xian smiled softly, and said softly: "Of course all women in the palace admire His Majesty and look forward to His Majesty's eternity. It's just that everyone has different temperaments and behaves differently."

Hearing this, Emperor Wei seemed to have thought of something, and sneered coldly: "It's not just a difference in temperament! There are also people who think they are born in a famous family and are proud of being favored! They think that I can't save myself and punish her seriously! Hmph!"

Yuan Youqi was secretly curious when he heard this, he wondered which palace's empress this is, and made his father so angry?However, when it comes to "being proud of being favored", I'm afraid there is only the one in Cuiweixuan.

Concubine Wei Xian seemed to understand it in her heart, and said with a gentle smile: "Your Majesty is the most heroic man in the world, so naturally he knows how delicate and delicate women are, especially the women in the harem, they are like flowers raised by His Majesty. Since your majesty is a person who cherishes flowers, he is naturally generous and doesn't care about the temperament of a little girl!"

Yuan Youqi sat sideways, hearing what the concubine mother said, she felt very disapproving in her heart.However, since she was a child, she has always heard her mother and concubine acting like a little girl in front of her father, but she is also used to it.So, as usual, the expression on her face remained unchanged.

Emperor Wei heard the comparison between the little girl and the flowers, especially when he heard that he had become the "person who cherishes flowers". Sure enough, Long Yan was very happy, and he laughed heartily: "I just like to come to my concubine, and listen to her words. Talking is more enjoyable than others."

Concubine Wei Xian raised her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, as if she was blaming her husband for saying such boudoir talk in front of her own children.However, in the shadow that no one could see, two clusters of flames rose from her pupils, and they were quickly suppressed by her.When he raised his eyes again, it was the same obedient look as before.

Emperor Wei didn't notice it, turned to Shangyuan Youqi, and asked with a smile, "Did Baoxiang accompany your mother and concubine for lunch?"

Yuan Youqi hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, I just had lunch with my mother and concubine."

"You are delicious!" Emperor Wei sighed sincerely, "The small kitchen in your mother's palace is the most delicious food! Especially the pine nut cake and braised mutton are really delicious!"

"If Your Majesty likes it, he will often come to my concubine to taste it." Concubine Wei Xian laughed.

Yuan Youqi was quite confused.She has almost never eaten these two dishes in the palace of her mother and concubine. Could it be that they are specially made for the emperor to enjoy?

At this time, Emperor Wei had already looked at Yuan Youqi.

"Baoxiang is already sixteen years old. He has grown up. It's just that his body is thinner." He said.

Yuan Youqi went to the study to study literature since he was a child, and then learned martial arts with the martial arts masters in the palace, and then learned the art of war, riding and shooting with the generals who were accustomed to soldiers under the trust of Emperor Wei. Healthy, but she is a daughter after all, so she is not as thick as ordinary men in appearance.

She was aroused by Emperor Wei's words and said with a hearty smile: "Although my son is not as tall and strong as the Seventh Emperor brother, but in terms of strength, riding and shooting, there is no difference!"

Thinking of his seventh son who was a martial artist, Emperor Wei also smiled: "Qilang is a rough man, so don't learn from him!"

He looked at Yuan Youqi's widening face, nodded and said: "Baoxiang is handsome, very similar to my youthful appearance, this is great!"

"Come, come! How about trying your strength for father!" Wei Dihao said angrily, and stood up as he spoke.

Yuan Youqi was slightly surprised, and turned to look at Concubine Wei Xian.

Concubine Wei Xian's eyes flashed with faint worry.

Emperor Wei's face darkened a little because of Yuan Youqi's look, and he pretended to be angry and said, "What? Does this matter depend on your mother and concubine's face?"

He has always disliked the harem interfering in the affairs of the previous court, and he even disliked seeing his son caught in the eyes of a woman, even if this woman was his son's mother.

Yuan Youqi grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, so he naturally knew a little about his temperament. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "My son is afraid that his hands will not be measured and hurt the dragon's body of the emperor."

Emperor Wei laughed and scolded: "What a boy! How dare you look down on me!"

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his right palm and firmly grasped Yuan Youqi's slender right palm together.

"I'm old!" Wei Di sat back to his original place and sighed sincerely, "I can't compare to this kid, he is just young, and he has so much strength!"

Yuan Youqi also sat back, stroked his slightly painful right palm, and said with an apologetic smile: "Father gave way to my son! My son's finger bones were almost broken by my father!"

"You are the only one who can talk!" Wei Di glared at her, but there was an unconcealable smile on his face.

He turned to Concubine Wei Xian and said: "I see that Baoxiang is considered an adult, and it's time to find a noble lady with both virtue and appearance to be his concubine! If you don't have a family or a career, you'll always look like a child! "

Yuan Youqi's expression changed slightly, her mind turned like lightning and flint, and she suddenly understood the purpose of Emperor Wei's visit today.

Concubine Wei Xian still had a gentle expression, and smiled apologetically, "What your Majesty thinks is exactly what my concubine thinks."

Emperor Wei nodded in satisfaction, and asked: "Is there a suitable candidate in Aifei's mind? If so, just tell me, no matter which family he is from, I will mention it with you mother and son!"

Yuan Youqi's body straightened suddenly, and the name that had been hidden in his heart for many years was about to blurt out, but Concubine Wei Xian took the lead: "Your Majesty is very kind, and this concubine is deeply grateful! It's just that this concubine doesn't have the most For the right candidate, Rong Chenqie should carefully consider and compare. After all, this is a major event in Baoxiang's life."

Emperor Wei nodded and said: "You are very thoughtful, and think about it first. Well, the aristocratic families in Beijing often have gatherings, and Baoxiang should also go for a stroll from time to time."

Family gatherings must be attended by unmarried daughters of major families.Go shopping more, see and see, and maybe you will catch eyes with a lady of the right age.

After Emperor Wei finished speaking, he changed the subject and said to Yuan Youqi, "I heard that you always go to Fengming Tower to play?"

Yuan Youqi was surprised.

Emperor Wei continued, "Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu, Fengming Lou Zhongyin. It's an elegant place. It's okay if you go to play and listen to the music once in a while."

Yuan Youqi Fang relaxed, and heard Emperor Wei say again: "I also heard that the landlord of Fengming is a girl's house? I also have a good friendship with you?"

Yuan Youqi hurriedly said seriously: "Father Huang Mingjian! My son and the landlord of Fengming are friends of friends, not involved in the relationship between men and women."

"Looking for a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers... Well, it's elegant to have a bosom friend." Wei Di was fascinated, and said, "I am not a pedantic king, and the owner of Fengming is also a clean man. You don't even have a concubine in your house now. , but the dignified county king is not in the same shape. If you like her, it would be good to call her into the mansion as a concubine."

Yuan Youqi was dumbfounded.She has no such charming thoughts about Feng Rou, if Feng Rou's face is not so similar to Gu Heng's, maybe she will only be regarded as a subordinate?

Seeing her appearance, Emperor Wei misunderstood her, clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "I really have sharp eyes! Since I like it, I will accept it in the mansion! Hesitating, it doesn't look like my son!"

Yuan Youqi opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

"That's it, it's settled like this!" Emperor Wei said to Concubine Wei Xian, "After all, it's just a concubine, it's not a big deal. My concubine, you can do it for Baoxiang! I still want to hold my grandson sooner. Woolen cloth!"

Emperor Wei had nine sons. Apart from a few who died young, there were five grown up: the second son of the emperor and the eldest son Chengyin; the third son Chengbai; the fourth son Chengping; the seventh son Chengxuan; and the ninth son Youqi .

Among the five princes, the prince, the third son, and the fourth son have already married wives. The prince has only two daughters and no son yet, while the third son and the fourth son each have a son and a daughter.When the emperor said this, he obviously didn't pay attention to his grandsons and granddaughters, which showed his love for Yuan Youqi.

Yuan Youqi was shocked by this sudden marriage and didn't know how to react, but Concubine Wei Xian leaned forward and said: "My concubine obeys the order."

Yuan Youqi: "..."

Emperor Wei laughed and said, "So, it's another happy event!"

Concubine Wei Xian was secretly startled when she heard the word "again".Based on her understanding of Emperor Wei, she has already made a lot of guesses. She knows this man's tricks too well!

"The first happy event His Majesty mentioned, but that..." She continued to play his virtuous and understanding "loved concubine".

"It's the great joy that I want to accept Gu's daughter as my concubine!" Wei Di rushed, overjoyed, as if he had fulfilled his wish for many years.

Concubine Wei Xian felt a pain in her heart, she quickly raised her eyebrows and bowed down: "So, my concubine congratulates Your Majesty!"

"Hahaha, my beloved concubine, please get up!" Emperor Wei helped Concubine Wei Xian up, looked at her earnestly, making Wei Xianfei's heart tremble.

"I have another plan." He stared at Concubine Wei Xian intently.

Concubine Wei Xian's scalp felt numb from his stare, she tried her best to maintain the expression on her face, and said with a smile: "What's your majesty's plan?"

"Baoxiang's marriage has not yet been decided, and I plan to let him enjoy my joy..."

"Your Majesty means..." Concubine Wei Xian felt that her breathing was stagnant.

"I plan to let Baoxiang go to Gu's mansion to meet my relatives on my behalf!" Wei Di said.
