When Bai Yu'an went on duty the next day, several colleagues in the Imperial Academy met her and couldn't help but come over to give her some polite words of comfort.
She also responded politely.
Bai Yu'an understood that these were just official politeness, and if something really happened, no one would stand up and speak out.
When Academician Yang in the Imperial Academy met Bai Yu'an, he took him to the inner room to talk: "Have you suffered in prison?"
Bai Yu'an shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just some skin pain, it's nothing."
Yang Yihai looked heavy, looked at the young man in front of him whom he admired very much, sighed slightly, and nodded again.
He patted Bai Yu'an on the shoulder and said, "Can you blame me for not interceding for you?"
Bachelor Yang has taken great care of Bai Yu'an since he entered the Imperial Academy. Bai Yu'an hurriedly said: "I have never blamed Mr. Yang."
Bai Yu'an's voice darkened as he spoke: "It's just Mr. Yang, don't blame Yu'an for not listening to Mr. Yang's words."
Yang Yihai sighed and shook his head, touched his beard, walked to the vermilion window, looked at the green bricks outside and whispered: "I know your temper, it's good to let you suffer some."
"Today's Supervisor of Ceremonies is no longer in existence, and the people inside have been replaced by Shen Jue's own people."
After saying that, Yang Yihai turned around and looked at Bai Yu'an and said, "Shen Jue's hands are all in Shen Jue's hands whether you approve or not approve those little things you submit."
"It's good that you learned a lesson this time, so that you won't be like this again next time."
Bai Yu'an looked at Yang Yihai and whispered: "Now Shen Jue is the only one in power. Isn't there anyone in the government and the public who stands up to oppose it?"
"The people in charge of the Supervisory Ceremony can be changed at will. Anyone with a discerning eye can see what's going on. With such collusion, who can check and balance Shen Jue in the future?"
Yang Yihai looked at Bai Yu'an with his hands behind his back: "Your teacher's group of veterans were the most opposed to this matter at first, but what happened to it?"
"The eunuch who held the prints and the eunuch who wrote the script were found guilty and replaced."
Yang Yihai sighed again as he spoke: "And your teacher Wang Taifu, a veteran of the three dynasties, is not just going to resign and return to his hometown."
"After all, this ending is considered good, and I can live a long life in the countryside."
Bai Yu'an was silent, then looked at Yang Yihai: "With Shen Jue in such power, wouldn't the Queen Mother say anything?"
Yang Yihai snorted coldly: "Queen Mother? How much does she, a harem woman, know about the affairs of the court?"
"Shen Jue has promoted many people over the years, and there are even more disciples in the mansion. The words spoken in the court carry more weight, and naturally there are many supporters behind them."
"The emperor is still too young. Even the queen mother still wants Shen Jue to be in charge of the court."
Bai Yu'an listened silently, and Yang Yihai's instructions came again in his ears: "I specifically asked you to speak today because I want you to do a good job in the things at hand in the future. Next year, I will recommend you to go to the Imperial College. "
Bai Yu'an was stunned for a moment, then said: "I have editors from previous years ahead of me. Mr. Yang recommended me. I'm afraid others will have opinions."
Yang Yihai smiled and said: "Hanlin is a leisurely place. You won't learn anything if you stay here."
"A few days ago, I wanted you to follow me and let you be the Holy Emperor's attendant, but seeing your temper, I was afraid of offending the emperor, so I decided to leave it alone."
"Besides, it's not up to me to decide whether you want to go to the Imperial College or not. You still need approval from the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"But after all, you are still young. It will be up to you when the time comes."
Bai Yu'an looked downcast: "I know Mr. Yang's good intentions, but I have no intention of them, and I don't care about the results that much."
Yang Yihai smiled: "Your teacher asked me to take care of you. I just help you to the best of my ability."
Bai Yu'an was a little moved, and she hugged Yang Yihai and lowered her eyebrows: "Yu'an thanked Mr. Yang for his guidance today."
Yang Yihai smiled and patted Bai Yu'an on the shoulder.
The two talked for a while before Bai Yuan withdrew.
After going out, Bai Yuan sat in front of the desk and turned over the half-read newsletter in his hand. Wen Changqing next to him leaned over.
"Will my medicine work?"
Bai Yu'an smiled: "Of course it will work."
Wen Changqing came over and put his hand on Bai Yu'an's shoulder and said, "Well, it's off duty this afternoon. How about going to paint boats, enjoy the scenery, and have tea?"
Bai Yu'an reluctantly took Wen Changqing's hand away and said, "I have to see the teacher this afternoon."
Wen Changqing was slightly disappointed and said: "I originally made an appointment with Brother Wei, but we can only wait for another date."
Bai Yu'an smiled, and Wen Changqing asked with concern: "I saw that you were very ill that day. Is your cough better now?"
Bai Yu'an nodded: "It's much better than the previous two days."
Wen Changqing said: "Cough is the most difficult thing to cure. Don't stay cold these days."
Listening to the words of Wen Changqing's mother-in-law, Bai Yu'an smiled lightly while looking at the book in her hand.
Coming out of Hanlin in the afternoon, Bai Yu'an saw Gao Han waiting outside at a glance, so he quickly walked over and said, "Brother Gao."
Gao Han was still wearing his official uniform, and when he saw Bai Yu'an calling him, a slight smile appeared on his gentle face.
He looked at Bai Yu'an who was standing in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "Has the injury on your body healed?"
As he spoke, his eyes were full of concern: "I remember when I came to see you two days ago, you were still complaining that your body hurt."
Bai Yu'an pursed her lips and smiled: "It's good morning, Brother Gao, don't worry about me."
Gao Han nodded and took Bai Yu'an to the palace gate while saying, "The teacher has been waiting for you these days. I have already sent the message. It just so happens that you can come with me to see the teacher today."
Bai Yu'an felt a little uncomfortable. She looked at Gao Han and asked hurriedly: "How are you these days, teacher?"
Giving Bai Yu'an a reassuring look, Gao Han whispered: "Don't worry, the teacher is a veteran after all, and the wardens of the Metropolitan Procuratorate don't dare to do anything serious. Now he is fine."
Bai Yu'an felt relieved and said a few words to Gao Han. When he was about to reach the palace gate, Bai Yu'an saw Shen Jue standing beside the carriage outside the palace gate.
There were several officials standing next to him, looking at him talking to people with an indifferent look on his face, with indifference in his eyes.
Seeing that his eyes seemed to be looking this way again, Bai Yu'an felt slightly uncomfortable and turned his head.
The snow was not heavy today, but the scattered light snow still made everything around him feel lonely. Bai Yu'an couldn't help but close his cloak and let out a breath of white air.
Gao Han next to him said again: "I met the teacher this time. The teacher may go back to his hometown in two days. Then I will come to see you again and see you off together."
Bai Yu'an nodded silently, looking at the withered and yellow weeds in the gaps between the green bricks on the ground, feeling like a lump in his throat for a moment.
When they walked outside the palace gate, Shen Jue was still standing in the distance. There were dots of flying snow in the middle. Bai Yu'an only felt that her eyes were a little blurry, but she always felt that Shen Jue's bottomless eyes were falling on her.
Thinking that he was now living next to Shen Jue, a sense of embarrassment rose from the bottom of his heart.
She didn't dare to tell Gao Han about this. After all, Shen Jue had harmed the teacher.
Suppressing the strange emotions in his heart, Bai Yu'an deliberately did not look at Shen Jue, but Gao Han said from the side: "Shoufu Shen is in front. We are passing by, so we should go and say hello."
Bai Yuan was naturally unwilling, but after hearing what Gao Han said, he had no choice but to nod.
