The breeze blows gently, caressing every inch of the land, bringing the fragrance of the flowers blooming in the imperial garden, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Li Chengqian was wearing a bright yellow casual suit and a jade belt embroidered with a golden dragon around his waist. The gems inlaid on the jade belt sparkled brightly in the sunlight.
He was practicing Tai Chi in the garden with a nimble posture. Every movement was as smooth as flowing water. There was a king's air in his calmness. His focused expression seemed as if nothing in the world could disturb him.
Not long after, Fang Xuanling and Mr. Qi arrived almost at the same time.
Fang Xuanling was tall and slender, with a thin face that exuded an air of elegance, and his deep eyes sparkled with wisdom.
He was dressed in a dark court robe, the delicate patterns on which showed his identity and status.
With every step she took, her clothes fluttered slightly, giving her a sense of immortal charm.
Mr. Qi was a bit plump, with a round face, and wore a gorgeous high crown on his head, the accessories on the crown sparkling in the sun.
The colorful and gorgeous clothes he wore exuded nobility. His eyes were always shrewd and capable, and there was often a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.
The two met at the carved archway of the Imperial Garden and were both stunned.
Fang Xuanling paused, his expression gentle and humble as always. He waved his hand politely, a friendly smile on his face, and spoke first, "Grand Master Qi, good morning! What a coincidence! Do you also have something to do with His Majesty?"
His voice was low and mellow, like the melodious sound of an ancient bell, echoing in the air.
Mr. Qi nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on Fang Xuanling for a moment before he responded, "Is Prime Minister Fang also concerned?"
His words were concise but polite. Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "It seems we are destined to meet. Let's go and see His Majesty together."
The two of them walked one after the other along the winding gravel path to the back garden.
The flowers and plants on both sides of the stone road were neatly trimmed, and the colorful flowers bloomed, as if welcoming the two important officials of the court.
The young eunuch Chunxi saw them coming and was about to go in to report them, but Li Chengqian saw them from a distance. His eyes were sharp, but with a hint of gentleness. He shook his hand and said softly, "Chunxi, please leave. There is no need to report. I have seen everything."
Chunxi, dressed in a blue-gray eunuch's uniform and a black cap, quickly and respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty," when he heard the order from His Majesty.
His voice was shrill and nervous. Li Chengqian waved his hand again and said, "Alright, all of you leave."
Then, the eunuchs bowed and retreated in an orderly manner. They walked lightly and did not dare to make any sound.
As soon as Fang Xuanling and Mr. Qi arrived in front of Li Chengqian, they bowed respectfully.
Fang Xuanling lifted the sleeves of his court robe, bowed slightly, and shouted, "Your Majesty."
Mr. Qi also saluted solemnly. His movements were meticulous and showed his respect for the emperor.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Alright, no need to be polite, please sit down."
After the two stood up and slowly walked to a nearby stone bench to sit down, Li Chengqian looked at them carefully, his eyes full of inquiry, and said, "You two agreed to come see me so early in the morning. Is there something important?"
Fang Xuanling responded, "Your Majesty, I did not come with Grand Tutor Qi. It's just that we happened to meet at the gate of the Imperial Garden. I imagine Grand Tutor Qi also has something important to report."
As he spoke, he bowed slightly, his eyes always on Li Chengqian.
Mr. Qi bowed to Li Chengqian. He was wearing an emerald green jade ring on his hand, which was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.
"Your Majesty, I have nothing important to report. I just returned from Xianyang yesterday. I have already prepared your betrothal gifts. Each one has been carefully selected, from silks and satins to gold, silver, and jewelry, all of which are of the finest quality. I just wonder if we should choose an auspicious day to deliver them to Lord Su's family?"
