When Eunuch An heard this, he glanced at the picture of the beauty with a big black mole on her nose again, and his expression changed.
"Your Highness, please be careful what you say. This girl is Su Ziyue, the legitimate daughter of the Anlehou Mansion." Gong An said impartially.
Anlehou Mansion?
Qi Xingyun raised his eyebrows lightly. Isn't that the Anlehou Mansion to which Luo Feixiong, the lord of Licheng City in the south, is related by marriage?
Eunuch An next to him is an old man who has been serving Qi Xingyun a long time ago. When Qi Xingyun was still the disliked sixth prince, Eunuch An followed him.
While Qi Xingyun was out fighting all year round, Eunuch An was in charge of the Sixth Prince's Mansion and performed his duties faithfully.
Therefore, Eunuch An is very good at figuring out his master's thoughts.
"This Miss Su is fifteen years old this year. She has a beautiful face and is very talented."
"She is known as the most beautiful woman in the capital. In the past two years, at Mrs. Han's poetry club, Miss Su's poems and songs were a blockbuster."
"We have won the title for two consecutive years. Now in this capital, when people talk about the most talented and beautiful woman in the capital, they only talk about Miss Su. No one mentions Miss Han from the former Han Taishi Mansion anymore."
Mr. An stood aside and talked.
Qi Xingyun listened silently, his eyes casually scanning the woman on the scroll in front of him. Although it was just a static scroll, people could still feel the elegance of the woman on the scroll.
If this woman steps down from the scroll and stands pretty in front of her, she must be a woman who is very attractive to men.
only……
"By the way, Your Highness, I remembered something. I wonder if your Highness still remembers it?"
Mr. An next to him made a fierce move, and Qi Xingyun came back to his senses.
"Tell me about it," he said.
Eunuch An bowed and continued: "On the night of the Lantern Festival, didn't your Highness receive a post from His Highness the Second Highness, inviting you to come and celebrate the festival together?"
Qi Xingyun nodded: "Yes, this year I spent the Lantern Festival with my second brother, second sister-in-law, and my two nieces and nephews."
When the second emperor brother was mentioned, Qi Xingyun's eyes showed a hint of warmth.
An Gonggong said: "Your Highness, do you still remember that when we arrived at the door of the Second Prince's Mansion, His Highness and the Second Princess were standing at the door?"
"And over there, a carriage happened to be parked. The carriage was about to leave. They saw each other off at the door."
After hearing Eunuch An's guiding words, Qi Xingyun was also impressed.
"The carriage that passed us was from the Anlehou Mansion. The person sitting in the carriage at that time was Miss Su."
"This Miss Su's aunt, the sister of Anlehou Su Wenhua, is married to Prince Luo Feixiong of the South."
"The second prince's concubine Luo Bingqing is the legitimate daughter of Prince Nan, so this Miss Su happened to be a guest at her cousin's house that day!"
After listening to Mr. An's long words, Qi Xingyun's lips curled up.
Looking away from the scroll, his body lazily sank into the back of the Taishi's chair behind him.
"After saying so much, you just want to tell me that if I marry the person in the scroll, then my second emperor brother and I will be intimately related, and we will become brothers-in-law?" Qi Xingyun joked.
Eunuch An apologized and smiled but said nothing.
Qi Xingyun also smiled faintly, stood up and said: "I am a little sleepy. Take a nap for a while. You can put all these scrolls away!"
An Gonggong said: "Your Highness, at the same time that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent the scroll, the Queen also sent an oral message,"
"The Queen said that twenty people will be selected from these fifty people before the end of next month. The Queen will let you take a good look at them and get some impressions."
"When fifty is entered and twenty is eliminated, Your Highness will be asked to come and screen in person..."
Upon hearing the name Queen Han, Qi Xingyun's face turned cold, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"Go back and tell me that my father is not in good health. I have been ordered by my father to be the regent and have no time to take care of these harem matters."
"She is the queen mother, so just leave her to take care of these matters. When the time comes to select the two concubines and other beautiful concubines, my highness will arrange time and take the time to take a look!"
After saying these words, Qi Xingyun no longer glanced at the remaining forty-nine scrolls on the desk, stood up and left resolutely.
After passing through three main streets and two more small streets, the carriage finally stopped when it was almost dizzying.
"We're here, I'll go to the back to pick up my mother and get off the car." Da'an said, jumping out of the carriage first.
Yang Ruoqing also got off the carriage immediately, raised her head and looked at the house in front of her, her beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Is it because you don't have enough money or something? You are not allowed to buy a small courtyard with a single family. You can go in and out. Why did you build a courtyard in this alley?" Yang Ruoqing pulled Xiaohua and asked in surprise. .
This courtyard reminded Yang Ruoqing of the courtyard at Xu Mangxu's eldest brother's house in Wanghai County.
A large family huddled noisily in a small courtyard with a vegetable patch.
Da'an's courtyard is about the same size as Xu Mang's courtyard, but because the only child is still in Xiaohua's belly, the open space in the middle of the courtyard is better kept, and there are no signs of children causing trouble.
There is a well in the open space in the middle of the yard, and some flowers are planted on the edge.
The front is the main room, and the two sides are the east and west wing rooms.
At first glance, it looks no different from the most ordinary ordinary people's home in Beijing.
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, Xiaohua smiled and said, "Sister, I have enough money. I can live anywhere. It was Da'an's brother's wish to rent the house here. He said that this place is close to Hanlinyuan Road where he works as an errand." .”
That's it...
Da'an helped Mrs. Sun over and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Sister, let's sit down in the main room first and then talk!"
Everyone entered the main room, which was not very big. Even Mrs. Sun was a little confused.
Because the main hall and yard of my hometown in Changping Village are larger than here.
"Da'an, your yard is as small as a pigeon cage. If it's just you and Xiaohua, it's okay to bring a few servants." As soon as he sat down, Yang Ruoqing continued.
"But now that Xiaohua is pregnant, my mother has brought Xiaoduo and Xiaojie here to help take care of her. There are so many people living in this small courtyard. It is lively, but it is cramped and noisy."
Daan looked ashamed and said: "Originally we expected that my mother and two younger sisters would also come. If we had known about it earlier, I would have definitely made long-term plans and bought a larger house."
"When I received the letter from home that you were coming to the capital, I was thinking about buying a new house. However, the right house depends on fate. You can't just buy it if you want to."
"In addition, the affairs of the Hanlin Academy have been quite complicated in the past two months, so it has been delayed. My mother and sisters have been wronged, and I feel uneasy..."
Daan said, blushing.
