Bai Yu'an didn't get a good sleep at night, and he was extremely tired. But as soon as he closed his eyelids, Gu Yiyi's words rang in his ears, as if he had returned to the scene back then.
She still remembered that she pulled Gu Yiyi's sleeves in fear, but she was thrown away by Gu Yiyi forcefully and fell to the ground.
My whole body ached, but I got up and chased after him.
That face was full of disdain and contempt for her. In her eyes, she was like a heinous liar.
But then came Gu Yiyi's frightened eyes.
She watched helplessly as Gu Yiyi fell on her back into the water, her hands stretched out in the air. After a moment of astonishment, she watched Gu Yiyi being swept down by the current.
That moment seemed to come back to her, causing Bai Yu'an to wake up from the bed in an instant.
A Tao's words before going to bed rang in her ears again, as long as Gu Yiyi was still here, she would not let her go.
There was a candle burning outside the bed curtain, not much light penetrated inside, and there was no sound outside.
Bai Yu'an took a few breaths and then fell down tiredly.
When he woke up in the morning, Bai Yuan's eyes were tired, he was groggy and had no energy.
After packing up and heading outside, Chang Jing came over to hug Bai Yu'an's legs, looking at him expectantly.
Bai Yuan was so tired that he didn't understand the meaning in Chang Jing's eyes. He just bent down and rubbed Chang Jing's head before planning to leave.
It was A Tao who smiled and reminded: "Brother Jing is waiting to recite it to the young master."
Bai Yu'an then remembered, stopped and asked Chang Jing to recite to him what he had taught him last night.
Chang Jing proudly memorized it word for word.
Bai Yu'an took advantage of the situation and praised a few words, smiled at Chang Jing's charming face, and then left.
Bai Yu'an was absent-minded when he was on duty. As soon as he got off duty in the afternoon, he packed up and left quickly.
Just when he reached the door, a eunuch came to ask Bai Yu'an to go to the Wenhua Palace.
Bai Yuan originally wanted to find Gao Han, but he had to do it now.
When I went to the Wenhua Hall, there was a eunuch blocking me at the door: "Sir Bai, a moment later, His Highness is practicing calligraphy."
"When Your Highness has finished his meal, I will call you again."
Bai Yu'an nodded after hearing this and stood waiting in the outer hall.
I don't know how long it took, but Bai Yu'an felt that his legs were a little numb, and he looked sideways outside the palace. It was already dark.
After a while, Taifu Xing hurried out with a sad look on his face, took one look at Bai Yu'an standing outside, sighed and left.
Bai Yu'an looked at Taifu Xing's back, then turned back silently. There was no summons inside, so Bai Yu'an had to wait.
Hearing laughter coming from the palace, Bai Yu'an listened carefully, but could not hear what he was laughing at. Then a eunuch walked up to Bai Yu'an and said, "Master Bai, His Highness is asking you to come in."
After moving his aching legs and feet, Bai Yu'an walked towards the inner hall.
The laughter of the little emperor in the inner palace became clearer. Bai Yu'an stood outside for a moment and then stepped inside.
As soon as he entered, Bai Yu'an stood there and looked up, and at a glance he saw the little emperor riding on a eunuch and playing ball with a pole in his hand. The other eunuchs followed the example of horses and accompanied the little emperor to grab the ball for fun.
She didn't expect to see such a ridiculous scene when she came in.
Just hearing a cheer, it turned out that the little emperor hit the ball again, and the ball just rolled to Bai Yu'an's feet.
Only then did the little emperor see Bai Yu'an. He raised his pole and smiled excitedly at Bai Yu'an: "Editor Bai, I see you are interesting. I specifically asked you to come here today not to play chess. How about you come and play ball with me?"
As he spoke, the little emperor summoned a eunuch and asked him to lie on the ground. He said to Bai Yu'an, "Just ride on him and let's see who scores the goal first."
The little emperor added: "You don't have to be afraid of Mr. Shen. He is reading the memorial in Wenyuan Pavilion and has no time to come over now."
Bai Yu'an glanced at the eunuch who quickly knelt on the ground, bent down to pick up the ball, walked to the little emperor, knelt down, and said softly: "The emperor is interested, so I should accompany the emperor."
"It's just that Wei Chen doesn't know how to play ball, so I might spoil His Majesty's interest."
The little emperor didn't care, and asked someone to pass a pole to Bai Yu'an: "I can learn chess from you, and playing ball will be easier."
Bai Yu'an held the pole, but did not move.
The eunuch who was kneeling next to Bai Yu'an saw that Bai Yu'an was not moving, so he raised his head and said with a smile: "Master Bai, just ride up, so this slave can bear it."
Bai Yu'an looked at that flattering smile, her heart was filled with sadness, and she felt sad.
She put down the pole, knelt down to the little emperor and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I only know how to play chess, but I really don't know anything about this."
The little emperor became anxious when he saw that Bai Yu'an refused to accompany him. He jumped off the eunuch and stood in front of Bai Yu'an: "I thought you were much more interesting than Mr. Yang."
"Why are you still so pedantic and boring?"
Xiao Ping walked up at this time, bowed his waist and smiled in front of Bai Yu'an: "Isn't it a pastime for Lord Bai to come and play chess with His Majesty? Your Majesty is interested in letting Lord Bai play with you, so Lord Bai must not be ungrateful. "
Bai Yu'an's expression changed slightly, she glanced at Xiao Ping coldly, and then whispered to the little emperor: "A saintly king should love his people like his son, be kind and diligent in his administration."
"False pleasures are useless, and superficial writings will only serve to encourage treacherous officials to slander."
"The Holy One should listen to and accept the opinions of the subordinates, so that the subordinates' feelings will be communicated, instead of just listening to what is said in the ears."
As soon as Bai Yu'an finished speaking, Xiao Ping next to him said in a strange tone: "Hey, Mr. Bai is here to talk about truth."
"Your Majesty has been studying for a day and finally got some entertainment. Master Bai is so dissatisfied with His Majesty's interest. He has no intention of making His Majesty unhappy."
Bai Yu'an looked at Xiao Ping with an ugly face: "I just advise His Highness to be generous and diligent. Don't misrepresent me here."
Xiao Ping sneered, bent down and whispered in the little emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, Lord Bai just said that His Highness is surrounded by traitors. The slaves are not as knowledgeable as Lord Bai, they only know how to please their master. "
"Now that Mr. Bai has branded him a traitor, I don't dare to talk any more to share His Highness's worries. I can only stay with His Highness and let Him do the work."
Bai Yu'an met Xiao Ping's somewhat proud eyes, and suddenly his heart changed, and he looked at the little emperor's face.
I saw the little emperor's face suddenly darkened, and there was a gloomy look in his young eyes that was inappropriate for his age: "I asked you to come here because I didn't want to listen to your preaching."
"You disturbed my mood, should I chop off your head?"
Bai Yuan's head was startled, and she suddenly realized that the little emperor had become so cruel.
She felt sad, but Xiao Ping was stirring up dissension, and Bai Yu'an knew she couldn't say another word.
According to the little emperor's current temperament, he might actually behead her.
Bai Yu'an now knows how to advance and retreat. The little emperor is surrounded by fawning villains like Xiao Ping. It is useless for her to say more here.
She was so impulsive just now that she actually felt that the little emperor could listen.
Feeling like there was a lump in his throat, Bai Yu'an hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and kowtowed: "I am devoted to your highness, the country, and I only hope that your highness can become a benevolent and sage king. I have no intention of accusing you, and I beg your highness to forgive me."
The little emperor snorted coldly after hearing Bai Yu'an's words, and kicked the pole that Bai Yu'an placed next to Bai Yu'an in front of Bai Yu'an: "You made me happy by playing chess with me before. Today you want me to spare you, then you can Play ball with me."
As he spoke, the little emperor said in a slightly childish voice, "Otherwise I will chop you down."
The pole rolled to his eyes, and further forward he saw the little emperor's yellow boots embroidered with dragon patterns.
Pressing his fingers on the carpet, Bai Yu settled down for a long time, unable to pick it up.
Xiao Ping's gloating voice sounded again: "Master Bai, you have to make the Holy Emperor happy, otherwise your head will fall off, and that won't be fun."
Bai Yu'an didn't look at Xiao Ping. After a while, he put his hand on the pole and whispered to the little emperor: "It is an honor for me to play ball with the Holy Emperor."
