"Your Highness, this picture does exist. It was saved many years ago. Now the little people can't find the list in the booklet. Please forgive me. The little people will immediately call someone to help you find it..."
The little eunuch spoke respectfully, not daring to be negligent, Yan Chi waved his hand casually, "No, I will look for it by myself, the "Hundred Sketches" is worth tens of thousands of gold, if I can't find it, I will take some other pictures Just replace it."
The little eunuch nodded, "Yes yes yes..."
Yan Chi nodded when he heard the words, and continued, "Okay, you guys go on looking for the brochure, I'll take a look at it casually."
Searching in the library, naturally it was not as fast as flipping through the books, the little eunuch immediately retreated to flip through the books when he heard the words.
The little eunuch left, Yan Chi glanced at Bai Feng, and immediately went to one of the library. There are twelve library in Xuanji Pavilion. Calligraphy, most of them are poems, calligraphy and paintings written by themselves, and there are also a lot of imitations. In particular, Emperor Wen of decades ago was very good at calligraphy and painting. It is rumored that a painting will flow out of his hand every five days. At first, it will be piled up in the imperial study. Among them, they were placed in the Xuanji Pavilion when they couldn't be piled up. After the death of Emperor Wen, the things of the first emperor were even treasures of calligraphy, so later generations collected all the paintings and calligraphy and put them away in the cabinet, and occasionally gave them as rewards to their ministers.
Yan Chi entered the library full of calligraphy and painting, looked at the high shelf full of calligraphy and painting, his whole person frowned suddenly, but it was not too late, he immediately searched, the calligraphy and painting of the emperors of the past dynasties were separated according to the title of the emperor In contrast, Yan Huai's paintings are not many, so Yan Chi found them very quickly. He first opened them one by one and glanced at them, but they were nothing more than portraits of landscapes, flowers and birds, and there was nothing special about them. Thinking of Qin Wan's words, Yan Chi went to look at the inscription and seal again, but he didn't find anything unusual...
Yan Chi is not good at calligraphy, painting and engraving, and does not have the ability to discern nuanced details. Thinking that Concubine Jin is good at this, Yan Chi still intends to bring these paintings back to Prince Rui's mansion to see the best ones, but he wants to bring Yan Huai's paintings out. , It seems that a name is still needed. Yan Chi moved slightly, put down these paintings and walked outside. Just as he reached the door, he ran into Yan Li who was holding two paintings in his hand. Yan Li smiled and said, "Seventh Brother , I haven't found the "Hundred Sketches", but I found these two "Moon in the Thousand Years" and "Linjiang Immortals". Take a look, Brother Seven, if you like it or not, then I will ask the emperor's grandmother to send Give it to you as a gift."
Yan Chi nodded, "Of course I like it."
Yan Li chuckled, very satisfied, and handed over the two paintings in his hand to Lu Yun beside him, "Hold it, hold it, I'll talk to the emperor's grandmother later."
Lu Yun caught the painting, Yan Chi was going to go out of the door, now he couldn't help but look at Lu Yun twice, that child from the Fu family entered Prince Gong's mansion, could it be Lu Yun? And Yan Li would never have thought that the guard who grew up with him would be his cousin...
Yan Chi withdrew his gaze, left the library and returned to the warehouse where the palace servants were. The eunuchs immediately stepped forward when they saw Yan Chi appear, "Your Highness, what do you want?"
Yan Chi said, "It's too troublesome to find one place after another. Take out the booklet and I'll pick a few paintings again, as long as the intention is good."
Yan Li hurriedly said, "Aren't you looking for Seventh Brother? "Hundred Sketches" is indeed more suitable."
Yan Chi shook his head, "It's a waste of time..."
Yan Li nodded, but didn't say much, just sat down and drank tea boredly, the two little eunuchs exchanged hands and called for a dozen booklets to come over and put them up, "Your Highness, these are all, look at the pick Pick it up, let the little people find it later."
The paintings in the booklet all show where they are stored, and it is indeed more convenient to pick them in the booklet.
Yan Chi casually picked up two booklets and looked at them, but he didn't choose them. He waited until the third booklet before ordering two pictures. Soon he changed to other booklets, and he didn't find his favorite after looking through several books. Yes, when Yan Chi picked up the booklet at the bottom, the little eunuch hesitated and said, "Your Highness, this is a painting and calligraphy made by the emperor, you..."
Yan Chi frowned slightly, and pondered for a while, "I remember that the emperor hasn't rewarded anything yet, so I saved the emperor's effort by picking two paintings?"
The little eunuch knew that Yan Chi was picking rewards for his wedding, so he smiled and said, "That's natural, that's natural, Your Highness, it's up to you, these paintings have been put in for several years, and the emperor occasionally took rewards Your servant, now that you are married to the princess, the emperor will reward you with whatever you choose."
Yan Chi nodded, and Yan Li came up to him and said, "Why did Seventh Brother choose the emperor's?" As he spoke, he glanced at the little eunuch.
The little eunuch took two steps back knowingly, Yan Li immediately lowered his voice and said, "The emperor's painting skills are not very good."
Yan Chi listened with a smile, "But what does it look like without the emperor's reward in the dowry?"
Yan Li thought for a while and came to his senses, then looked at it together with Yan Chi, Yan Li pointed to two of them and said, "This one "Butterfly Loves Flowers" and this one "Autumn Evening Climbing Picture" are both good. , I remember that this "Autumn Festival Climbing Picture" is a copy of Yuan Daqian's painting. Yuan Daqian's painting is a picture of him and his wife climbing high and looking far away on the Autumn Festival. It is imposing and friendly, suitable for a big wedding What about the dowry?"
Yan Chi originally wanted to choose two paintings at random, but now that Yan Li helped him choose, he would naturally not refuse, so Yan Chi pointed to these two paintings for the little eunuch to look for. Chi pointed to two more pictures, then sat and waited with Yan Li, and the little eunuch went to find them and offer them up.
Yan Li smiled and said, "Brother Seven is getting married soon, do you feel happy?"
Yan Chi looked at him with a half-smile, "Grandmother has been worrying about your marriage."
Yan Li's ridicule faded away, and he snorted and leaned lazily on the open chair, "My heart is all in the Fengqi Building... Besides, everyone knows my personality, which girl in the capital can see it?" Fuck me? But anyone with a bit of backbone will not marry their own daughter to me... "
Yan Li said it confidently and confidently, without any embarrassment at all, Yan Chi shook his head when he heard the words, "You know, but now that you have entered the official department and started to do business, after all, it is different from before, and everyone is not unacceptable. It's the Prince of Great Zhou."
Yan Li sighed, "This is also difficult, I also want to find someone I like, isn't it..."
Yan Chi has nothing to say, Yan Li looks unrestrained, but as long as he doesn't want to, no one can force him, Yan Chi knows this very well, so he doesn't say much.
Not long after, the little eunuch presented six paintings, and Yan Chi asked Bai Feng to take the paintings, and returned to Shoukang Palace with Yan Li.
Yan Chi left quickly, and came back quickly. At this moment, Qin Wan had already gone to play with Yan Sui, and was not with the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager was quite regretful when she learned that Yan Chi hadn't found the "Hundred Sketches", but she couldn't help laughing and teasing Yan Chi when she saw that Yan Chi took six paintings at once, "These six paintings of yours are also better than one "Hundred Sketches". The ones are so expensive, why did you choose two paintings of the emperor?"
Yan Li giggled and said, "Brother Seven wants the emperor's reward to take the lead."
The queen mother laughed, "Then these two paintings are too light, and the time has not come yet, and I will reward them when the time comes."
Yan Chi didn't seem to care much about these things, "It's okay, as long as you have enough etiquette, she and Yue Ning have been buying paintings a few days ago, now that she has these, she won't have to worry about it for a while."
The queen mother laughed helplessly, "I just said why did you get so attached to the painting? It turned out to be like this. I know that at that time she bought the painting to honor me and the princess. Now you take out my things, and then Give it to her, and let her give it to me? I didn't leave any treasure behind, and I have to accept her kindness? You really have a good plan!"
Everyone in the room laughed, but Yan Chi didn't care about these jokes. The Empress Dowager felt that the rewards should not be just paintings and calligraphy, so she ordered Nanny Chen to choose a lot of treasures, and rewarded Yan Chi all at once today. He also felt that Qin Wan should not be treated badly, so he drew up a bunch of treasures and sent them to Qin Wan. After this, the treasures that the Queen Mother had saved for many years were sent out like flowing water, which made Yan Li feel distressed and envious.
The queen mother took the opportunity to say, "Are you envious? I will reward you like this when you get married. You have to hurry up. Your seventh brother's marriage was requested by yourself. If you wait until the emperor's grandmother proposes marriage to you, then the emperor will marry you." Grandma can do it for me..."
Yan Li was frightened, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "You can forgive me for now, my grandson has wanted to be filial to you for a few years, and I heard that after getting married, the concubines are very powerful, so how can I have so much time to come?" Honor you!"
The Queen Mother teased Yan Li cheerfully, and Yan Li also practiced Tai Chi with the Queen Mother. Not long after, Qin Wan and Yan Sui came back. As soon as Yan Li saw Yan Sui holding Yan Sui, he went outside and ran away in a hurry. The queen mother looked at Yan Li's back and sighed, "Hey, I'm really still a child."
Yan Chi comforted, "You don't have to worry, maybe you'll change your sex in a year or two."
The queen mother snorted, "I don't think he cares, and her mother doesn't care."
Speaking of Princess Gong, Yan Chi naturally didn't dare to complain about the elders with the Queen Mother, so he stopped talking, but the Queen Mother sighed, "Forget it, their mothers are also bitter, his mother used to be indifferent, It's even worse now, I can't count on her, I can only hope that Yan Li will grow up quickly."
Outside the main hall, Yan Li held Yan Sui in his arms and asked, "Where did you go just now? The princess bought you this mechanism bird?"
Yan Sui sat in Yanli's arms, relaxed in a rare way, with a thin smile on his lips, he nodded, "She bought it for me, and I went to the Imperial Garden just now."
Yan Li smiled and said, "You and Qin Wan have a really good relationship, I see you are getting more and more attached to her now."
Yan Sui muttered in a low voice, "She treats me well."
Yan Li snorted, "Then who is better for you, me or her?"
Yan Sui seemed to be stumped by this question, hesitant, Yan Li grabbed Yan Sui's creaking nest when he saw this, Yan Li immediately couldn't help laughing, his small body was in Yan Sui's mouth. Writhing in Li's arms, the servants in the distance all looked over when they heard the movement.
"Everything is fine... everything is fine..."
"What? You can only choose one, you must choose one."
"You... hello... hello..."
Yan Sui was so teased that he was out of breath, his little face flushed red, Yan Li stopped his hands just after hearing this, Yan Sui was panting for breath with a smile on his face, and Madam Su couldn't help seeing it from afar Rejoicing, Qin Wan was coming out of the main hall, and couldn't help laughing and crying when he heard this, only felt that Yan Li was really like a child.
Seeing this, Madam Su hurried forward and said, "Don't blame the princess, the prince is teasing His Highness the Ninth Prince."
How could Qin Wan care about these things, "I know that our Prince Gong is also a child, but he is the only one who can tease Yan Sui like this, which is a good thing."
Although Qin Wan also took Yan Sui to play around, he was not as outrageous as Yan Li, but Yan Li was different, he himself was the king of children when they made trouble, and Yan Sui's dull and self-closing temperament might just need such influence.
Su Momo nodded, "Yes, the lord and His Royal Highness are really destined to each other. In the past, it was the lord who treated His Royal Highness the best."
Qin Wan heard about this from Yan Sui himself, but she still wanted to hear from Nanny Su, so she raised her eyebrows, "Before?"
Su Momo nodded, "Yes, at that time, the slaves were still on duty with the Empress Dowager, and the Concubine Jin brought His Highness Nine over, and met the prince, who teased him many times when he saw His Highness Nine, His Highness not only Not afraid of the prince, but also very dependent on the prince, His Highness the Ninth Prince has been a bit quiet since he was a child, Concubine Jin is calm and gentle, although she is very gentle with His Royal Highness, but the rules are very strict, His Highness Ninth Prince is still a little afraid of Concubine Jin."
Qin Wan didn't know these things, she turned her eyes and saw Yan Sui sitting in Yan Li's arms, both of them had bright smiles on their faces, at this moment, Qin Wan suddenly felt that the relationship between the two The eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar, and she can't help but sigh the power of the royal blood again.
And Yan Li was hugging Yan Sui and teasingly said, "Then tell me, how did Qin Wan treat you? How many of these gadgets did I buy for you before? You forgot to fly a kite on my shoulder." ? I also made you a wooden cart that you can ride on, did you forget?"
Yan Sui smiled softly, "She...she just treats me very well..."
"Hey you little white-eyed wolf, I think you regard her as the best in the world for you!"
Yan Sui was playing with the mechanical bird, his little head was shaking, his short legs were slightly swaying, and his whole body was off guard. He suddenly said in a low voice, "She also helps me hide things...and also helps me raise things. What about the little bird... and the case of the concubine mother..."
When Yan Sui said this leisurely, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and quickly stopped talking. Yan Li was lazily leaning against the beauty behind him, and snorted, "What? What else? Why don't you say it? Did she hide something for you? Why haven’t you changed your habit of hiding things?”
Yan Sui snorted, but hesitation flashed in his eyes, Yan Li was so kind to him, could he say it
After thinking for a while, Yan Sui finally remembered Qin Wan's advice and did not dare to say more, but said in a low voice, "That's what my concubine gave me."
Yan Li sighed, rubbed Yan Sui's face, "Okay, what else do you want? I'll buy it for you next time, do you want to eat candied haws?"
Yan Sui's eyes lit up, and he started to discuss with Yan Li in a low voice...
