In the end, Shen Yi followed the driver obediently.
There is no other way, the big boss of Chen Guo is right in front of him, he will still hang out in Chen Guo in the future, he must give face to the big boss.
People can't even give up immediate benefits just because of some reputation, right?
After the little emperor went up to the second floor, Shen Yi and Gao Ming followed him one after another. When they arrived at the door of the room on the second floor, Gao Ming grabbed Shen Yi, coughed, and whispered: "Mr. Shen, the people on the boat today are , you are the only one who knows His Majesty’s identity. The person who is here today to listen to everyone playing the pipa is you, Mr. Shen. As for His Majesty... he is just a friend you invited to listen to the music, do you understand?"
This is naturally no problem.
In this world, apart from Conglong, there are two fastest ways to get promoted. The first way is to defend the emperor from swords and arrows, and the second way is to take the blame for the emperor.
What's more, there is a high probability that no one will mention this scapegoat, so Shen Yi is naturally willing to take the blame for the emperor.
Master Shen lowered his head slightly and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will save you trouble."
"Um."
Gao Ming nodded slightly and spoke slowly: "Inside for a while, you will answer whatever His Majesty asks you. If he doesn't ask you, don't speak. If you say less, you will be less likely to get into trouble."
net
After saying this, Eunuch Gao lowered his head respectfully and entered the second floor of the boat.
Shen Yi hesitated and followed in.
At this moment, Gu Hengbo was already holding the pipa in his arms and sitting opposite the little emperor. However, she had never seen the emperor, so she naturally didn’t know where the young man in front of her came from. In addition, she thought that the real owner today was Shen Yi, so she She didn't play until Shen Yi came in, then the famous Qinhuai prostitute stood up, saluted to Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Master Shen is finally back, shall we start now?"
Shen Yi carefully glanced at the little emperor who was already seated.
At this time, His Majesty the Emperor's eyes were completely focused on Gu Hengbo. He followed Gu Hengbo's gaze and looked at Shen Yi. When he saw Shen Yi looking at him, he coughed and sat upright.
Shen Yi sighed in his heart and put on a smile on his face: "Gu, Mr. Li is Shen's distinguished guest. Well... I invite you here today to entertain Mr. Li well. You don't have to worry about me, everything. Just listen to Master Li."
With these words, Shen Yi gave the emperor enough face.
At this moment, he was actually thinking, if His Majesty the Emperor wants to sleep with Gu Hengbo, how should he help him do it?
Li Mu was not present, and with Shen Yi's current status, there was probably no way for the Gu family to sleep with anyone.
On the other side, after Gu Hengbo listened to Shen Yi's words, he glanced thoughtfully at the emperor sitting beside him, lowered his head slightly and said, "Master Li, will the slave family start now?"
At this time, in the eyes of this famous Qinhuai prostitute, Mr. Li was probably from a certain clan in Jiankang City, which is why Shen Yi was so "fawning".
His Majesty the Emperor has been the emperor for seven years, and naturally he has developed some temperament that is different from ordinary people. He waved his hands indifferently and said: "Let's start. Last time I heard the Gu family's pipa music at the Jin Palace. , I am so shocked that I can finally hear it again today."
Gu Hengbo nodded, hugged the pipa, and placed his right hand gently on the strings.
Her slender fingers plucked the strings, and beautiful notes jumped out from her fingertips.
The emperor first touched his palms in admiration, then turned to look at Shen Yi and waved to Shen Yi: "Shen...um...Master Shen, please stop standing. Come sit down here with me and enjoy the good news together."
After hearing these words, Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief and carefully found a seat next to the emperor to sit down.
After sitting down, he looked back at Gao Ming who was standing.
On this occasion, the high eunuch would naturally not have a seat.
Shen Yi turned his head and glanced at the emperor who was close to Chi Chi, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
Although this was not the first time he had met or spoken to the emperor, the feeling of sitting with the country's big boss still made him quite nervous.
The sound of the pipa played softly. After His Majesty closed his eyes and felt the beauty of the music, he opened his eyes and looked at Shen Yi beside him. He smiled indifferently: "I heard that you were begging Gao Ming at the inner guard a few days ago. benefit?"
Shen Yi couldn't tell whether His Majesty the Emperor was happy or angry in his words, so he could only bite the bullet, lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the common people are helpless. The common people are being threatened, and the errands of the Di's Reporting Department have arrived. If we don't seek help from Eunuch Gao, I'm afraid the common people will die on the streets before the results are released in the spring..."
The two people sat together, and the conversation was naturally not loud. People who were farther away could not hear it. However, His Majesty the Emperor was still dissatisfied. After he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, he said: "I...um...I Those who come out in plain clothes today should not call me His Majesty, but just call me Young Master as you just said."
Shen Yi lowered his head and received the imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor.
I don't know if it was because Shen Yi was of the same age, but the little emperor was talking to him while listening to music. After a while, the two of them had already said about ten sentences, most of which were of little value.
After chatting for a while, the emperor put down the tea cup in his hand and asked, "This Gu seems to recognize you. Have you met him before?"
"I'm lucky enough to have met him a few times."
Shen Yi answered honestly.
"can not tell…"
The little emperor glanced at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "You came to Jiankang to take the exam, but you still have the heart to come to see everyone?"
"No... I asked to see Mr. Gu. I was lucky enough to meet you several times. The young master was also there one time, that is, in Prince Jin's Mansion."
"oh?"
The emperor thought for a while, then remembered and said, "I remember, it seemed that you were there for Uncle Wang's birthday that day."
At this point, the two people stopped talking.
Because everyone Gu had finished playing the song and was looking at the two people.
The two of them clasped their hands and praised each other in unison. Only then did Gu everyone relax and start playing the next song.
After the pipa played, the conversation between the two people started again.
The little emperor took a sip of tea, looked at Gu Hengbo, and said calmly: "I heard from Gao Ming, are you born in the third year of Yuanxi?"
Yuanxi is the reign name of the late emperor. The first emperor reigned for about thirteen years. He died in the thirteenth year of Yuanxi. Then Chen Guo changed his name to Yuan Hongde. It has been the seventh year of Hongde.
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly: "Yes, I was born in October of the third year of Yuanxi."
"That's indeed two months younger than me."
The emperor finally looked away from Gu Hengbo. He looked at Shen Yi and asked indifferently: "Did your family force you to get married?"
Shen Yi shook his head and said, "No."
The little emperor was a little envious and said, "Didn't your mother force you to get married?"
Shen Yi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "My mother passed away during the Yuanxi reign..."
"oh."
The little emperor nodded and stopped asking about this topic. After listening to the pipa music for a while, he seemed to feel that his question might have hurt Shen Yi, so he comforted him and said, "We are about the same. Your mother left early, and my father also Leave early.”
Shen Yi felt a dark thread in his heart.
If your father hadn't left early, you wouldn't be the emperor yet...
I don’t know what kind of brain circuit made him say such a thing.
Shen Yi sighed and didn't answer.
The atmosphere became a little awkward.
In order to relieve the embarrassment, the little emperor changed the subject. He still looked at Gu Hengbo, and then asked: "You told Gao Ming that you wanted the palace to give you benefits. What kind of benefits do you want?"
Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath.
"If I can get Jinshi in Jinke, I want to..."
"He is in charge of the imperial newspaper department for the imperial court."
