Shen Jue's luxurious and distant look caused the courtyard to become inexplicably quiet as soon as he came in. A Tao also felt inexplicably a little afraid of him, as if she was not worth mentioning in front of him.
She walked to the courtyard with some restraint, not daring to look into Shen Jue's eyes, and said calmly: "My young master is still asleep, Chief Shen will come back later."
But Shen Jue walked in as if he hadn't heard anything: "It doesn't matter, I'll go see him."
A Tao was stunned, thinking that Shen Shoufu had sent his son back last night, and he was probably here to visit him now.
Looking at the figure that had already passed by, A Tao quickly followed and said, "Why don't you, Chief Assistant Shen, wait outside for a while? I will go in and call the young master up."
Shen Jue paused and looked at A Tao: "You're a talkative girl."
A Tao was stunned by Shen Jue's stern look, and for a moment she didn't know how to speak.
Then he saw Shen Jue entering the inner room, lifting the curtain and walking towards the inner room.
A Tao quickly followed behind worriedly. Fortunately, she had just covered Bai Yu'an with a quilt. Otherwise, Master Shen would not have thought of her young master if he saw her unseemly appearance.
A Tao knew that Shen Jue was the chief minister of the cabinet and the head of the hundred officials, and she wanted her son to leave a good impression on Shen Jue, so that he could support him in the future.
No one could have guessed that she has long been coveted by her young master.
Seeing Shen Jue sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her young master with concern, A Tao felt relieved and went over and said, "Slave, please go and give me a cup of tea."
Shen Jue nodded.
As soon as A Tao left, Shen Jue's hand picked up a strand of Bai Yu'an's long hair. The hair exuded a delicate fragrance and fell on her fingertips like silk.
The body that was carried on the back exposed a small part of the shoulders. The shoulders were round and delicate, and they looked a bit cute.
I don't know how he could sleep until this time. He had finished his business in the palace and came back to see him, but he was still sleeping.
After all, Hanlin is free.
A few days ago, Academician Yang recommended Bai Yuan to the Imperial College. Shen Jue did not express his position at the time and shelved the matter.
It was indeed appropriate for Bai Yu'an to go to the Imperial College, but the Imperial College was not in the palace, and there was no Hanlin to relax, so he felt less at ease when he saw him.
Moreover, he has only been in Hanlin for only two years, so it would be bad if he was promoted too quickly.
With his temperament, it would be appropriate to spend another year in the Imperial Academy. When the time comes, let him serve as a minister, and then join the cabinet, and you can stay with him.
Shen Jue had already prepared Bai Yu'an's future path in his heart. The cabinet would be idle and he would not be required to handle affairs, but he would just be there to help him and stay in front of him.
If he wanted to have an official career, it would be easy for him to become a minister in the Sixth Ministry, but it would not be impossible to become a minister within ten years. It would depend on his choice.
A Tao came in with tea. When she came in, she saw Shen Shoufu playing with her young master's hair. Although he felt a little weird in his heart, he walked over carefully to serve tea.
Shen Jue loosened her hair calmly, took the tea cup from A Tao's hand, took a sip and put it on the edge of the bed.
She leaned forward slightly and looked at Bai Yuan's closed sleeping face. The thin red on her cheeks had faded, but her lips were still very red, and a few bite marks could still be seen vaguely.
It was bitten by Bai Yu'an last night to stay awake, and it was naturally Shen Jue's work.
I also saw a few red marks on her neck, which were faintly hidden on the collar of the white dress, but they could immediately make people think of the ambiguity last night.
Sitting up straight again, with her robe folded on the edge of the bed, Shen Jue looked at A Tao with deep eyes: "Have you taken medicine?"
That question sounded like an interrogation.
The majesty of the perennial superior, even if she deliberately slowed down her voice, still made the little girl tremble in her heart.
When A Tao heard Shen Jue ask, he quickly said: "If you have eaten, wait until the young master wakes up and take another one. It should be fine."
Shen Jue nodded and looked at Bai Yu'an again.
Seeing that the man was still sleeping deeply, as if he had no intention of waking up, I had planned to say a few words to him, but that was all for now.
After all, Bai Yu'an was fine. Shen Jue felt relieved, looked away, got up and walked out.
Just when his eyes passed by the table, Shen Jue noticed the chess records and the unfinished chessboard on it, and smiled almost unnoticeably on his face.
Last time I saw him playing chess with Gao Han, he looked careless, but in the past two days, he had been working hard behind his back again.
A Tao followed behind to see the fierce Buddha off before letting out a sigh of relief.
At this time, Mrs. Chen came out of the kitchen and asked, "Is your Excellency awake?"
A Tao shook his head: "Still sleeping."
Mother Chen said: "Then I will heat the food first, and then you can call me when the adults wake up."
A Tao responded and went to the back room again.
This time, Bai Yu'an slept until after noon. A Tao was doing embroidery work beside him. When he saw Bai Yu'an turning around, he couldn't help but stop and said, "Master, are you awake?"
Bai Yu'an could see one arm resting softly on his forehead, his eyes narrowed, as if he hadn't reacted yet, and he stared blankly at A Tao beside him.
Seeing Bai Yu'an open her eyes and not speaking, A Tao hurriedly got up and brought tea over: "Young Master, moisten your mouth."
Bai Yu'an had some reaction, but he felt dizzy, had a headache, and didn't even have much strength to stand up.
She tilted her head and took a sip. The tea flowed down to the hem of her clothes. Only then did she become slightly clear-headed.
Looking at A Tao, Bai Yu'an rubbed his brow and asked, "What time is it now?"
A Tao said: "It's past noon."
Bai Yu'an put one hand on the edge of the bed, exhaled and murmured: "It's this time..."
A Tao said: "No, Chief Shen came to visit the young master in the morning, and the young master was not awake at that time."
Bai Yu'an frowned slightly: "Really..."
She recalled that Shen Jue had indeed helped her last night, but Bai Yu'an still felt that there was something fishy about it.
Shen Jue could sit in that room early, so he must have known what Wei Miaochun was going to do in advance.
But he just watched the show with a cold eye, and only saved her when it was urgent. Was it just to watch his own joke?
She didn't think Shen Jue was such a leisurely person. Bai Yu'an couldn't understand what kind of person Shen Jue was.
A Tao saw Bai Yu'an's face downcast and lacked energy, so she asked, "Master, do you feel better today?"
My body is no longer so hot, and my arms are still a little cold when they are exposed.
Bai Yu'an shook his head: "It's much better."
A Tao felt relieved and stood up again and said: "The medicine is still warm. Master, please drink another bowl. It will heal quickly."
Bai Yuan just nodded and said nothing.
When Ah Tao came in a short while later, he saw Bai Yu'an had sat up and was leaning softly on the head of the bed.
She carried the medicine over and suddenly noticed the red mark on Bai Yuan's neck.
Just now, Bai Yu'an was lying on his side with his long hair falling on his neck. Now he was sitting with his neck exposed, and the red mark became obvious.
She handed the medicine to Bai Yuan's hand and asked strangely: "Why are there red marks on the young master's neck again?"
Bai Yu'an took the medicine bowl and took a sip. Her mouth was full of bitterness and she didn't care. She just asked A Tao to get the plums quickly.
With the plum in his mouth, Bai Yu'an drank the medicine in one gulp before saying, "But is it the same as last time?"
A Tao took a closer look and said, "My slave, it looks almost the same."
Bai Yu'an didn't care: "Xu was bitten by an insect again."
As he said this, Bai Yu'an suddenly remembered that the last time there were red marks on his neck, it was because he and Wen Changqing drank wine. This time, there were red marks on his neck, and he also drank wine last night.
It only happens every time after drinking alcohol. She has also heard that some people get rashes on their bodies after drinking alcohol. Although she has never seen it, she thinks it is probably the same.
He secretly came to the conclusion that he really couldn't drink anymore.
