A Tao went over to meet Bai Yu and get on the carriage. Seeing that Bai Yu looked tired, he hurriedly asked, "Is your Majesty staying here to play chess again?"
Bai Yu'an leaned against the car wall, hummed lazily, and said no more.
The next second, Bai Yu'an felt someone leaning against his lap, and he bent slightly to look. It turned out that Chang Jing was curled up in his position and fell asleep. Bai Yu'an sat down and leaned over after smelling the smell.
Bai Yu'an took Changjing into his arms, stroked Changjing's hair and asked A Tao, "Where's my cousin?"
A Tao said: "Master Yuanqing went to meet his fellow villagers again. He probably went back very late after drinking."
"I came to pick you up. There was no one to look after you in the yard, so I brought you over and fell asleep after waiting for a long time."
Bai Yu'an nodded after hearing this, holding Chang Jing's fleshy hand and stopped talking.
When he arrived at the house, as soon as he got off the carriage, Bai Yuan glanced at Gao Han who was waiting at the door and walked over quickly.
"Brother Gao, why are you here?"
"But you've been waiting for a long time?"
Gao Han looked at Bai Yu'an who was approaching and said with a smile: "I received your letter and wanted to come see you this afternoon. I didn't see you, so I came over to wait for you."
"It didn't take long."
He also saw that the hair under the white jade hat was messy, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red. He looked at the whole person, as if he had no energy, so he asked again: "Why are you back so late?"
Bai Yu'an said bluntly: "Shen Shoufu came to see me for something, so he came back a little late."
As he spoke, Bai Yu'an quickly invited Gao Han to the back room: "Brother Gao came here after seeing the letter I had someone send?"
Gao Han walked beside Bai Yu'an, smiled and said: "Exactly."
Bai Yu'an nodded and quickly turned around to ask A Tao to bring hot tea in quickly.
A Tao carried Chang Jing back to the house and went to bring tea over. Bai Yu'an walked to Gao Han and poured tea for Gao Han. He held the tea cup and sent it over to apologize: "Brother Gao has been waiting for me for a long time."
"It's still cold in spring at this time. Brother Gao has a sip of tea to keep warm."
Gao Han looked at the teacup that Bai Yu'an brought. In the hot air, he looked up at Bai Yu'an standing in front of him, slightly bowed, his face covered with powder, and the corners of his eyes and lips were redder than before.
He felt that Bai Yu'an today was a little different from usual.
The eyes were still as gentle and peaceful as before, but there was fatigue deep in them, and it looked like something was not going well.
He took the cup, looked up at Bai Yu'an and asked worriedly: "What happened to Yu'an recently?"
Bai Yuan sat next to Gao Han, poured another cup of tea to warm her hands, then looked at Gao Han and said with a smile: "Brother Gao has been thinking too much, he has been doing well lately."
Gao Han glanced at Bai Yu'an thoughtfully and nodded: "That's good."
Then he said: "You asked me to check Gong Yushu's household registration, and I did find it."
"He just went to the Ministry of Rites two days ago to report that he was elected in the ninth year of Zhengde. His ancestral home is Yushang County, Huaining Prefecture. His ancestors were farmers. His father has passed away."
Gao Han said and looked at Bai Yu'an: "Why did Yu'an ask about this person specifically?"
As soon as Bai Yu'an heard about this ancestral book, she knew that Gong Yushu was not Gu Yiyi. After listening to Gao Han's words, he just said: "I met him last time when we got together, and we met again later. I'm just a little curious."
Gao Han's eyes showed confusion. Since he had seen it before, why did he need to inquire about it? Wouldn't it be faster to ask Gong Yushu directly.
Moreover, Huaining Mansion is far away from Bai Yuan's hometown, and there are not many fellow villagers and teachers.
He recalled Gong Yushu's appearance that night, thin and inconspicuous, with an ordinary appearance, and asked: "But what does Yu'an think is special about him?"
Bai Yu'an could only say perfunctorily: "So be it."
He asked again: "Brother Gao, can you find someone from the same hometown as Gong Yushu?"
Gao Han glanced at Bai Yuan, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Bai Yuan: "There is one from the same county."
"But even though he is nearly forty years old, his father is still gifted."
Bai Yu'an took the paper, looked at the name on it and nodded, then put it away and put it in his arms.
Gao Han asked puzzledly: "Why is Yu'an asking about his fellow villagers?"
Bai Yu'an smiled: "Brother Gao, don't think too much, I'm just curious."
curious?
Bai Yu'an doesn't seem to be such a curious person.
But Bai Yu'an clearly didn't want to tell him the truth, and Gao Han didn't want to ask any more questions.
He asked Bai Yu'an again: "I heard that you are now waiting for the emperor's chess call?"
Bai Yu'an hummed, then helplessly said to Gao Han: "Scholar Yang recommended me, maybe because he wanted me to win the favor of the little emperor."
Gao Han paused and looked at Bai Yu'an: "With the little emperor's temper, you'd better be careful."
Bai Yu'an nodded, smiled lightly and said, "Brother Gao, don't worry, I know what's appropriate."
In fact, it is easy to please the little emperor's temperament, as long as you follow his temperament.
Maybe the people around him knew the little emperor's temperament, so they indulged him again and again, which made the little emperor even more intolerant of objections. In the long run, the people around him would only be sycophants. .
A traitor like Xiao Ping.
She sighed in a low voice: "It's a pity that there is no one around the emperor who dares to speak out. Xiao Ping is even more indulgent of the emperor, which is really hard to look at."
Gao Han frowned and looked at Bai Yu'an and said, "No matter how hateful Xiao Ping is, you'd better endure it first."
"He has been with the Holy Emperor since he was a child. I heard that it was Chief Shen who sent him to the palace."
"Xiao Ping was only in his teens when he first entered the palace. He was handsome and smart, and was very popular with the Queen Mother. He stayed with the Queen Mother for two years and then followed the current Saint."
"This Xiao Ping has some relationship with Shen Shoufu, and is deeply liked by the Queen Mother. When the late emperor was here, Xiao Ping served his master attentively, taking care of the little sage in every detail. Even the late emperor praised him."
"It's just that once the late emperor left, Xiao Ping relied on the Queen Mother's love and the little emperor's trust to become lawless."
"I bought several houses outside and raised beautiful maids."
"He is not very old now, and he has several godsons."
"And now that he is at the peak of his power, even the admonishing officials dare not take advantage of him easily."
A Tao stood aside and listened, and suddenly interjected: "Didn't you say that Shen Shoufu is in charge of the government now? Doesn't he even care about Shen Shoufu?"
Gao Han glanced at A Tao, then looked at Bai Yu'an, holding the tea cup and taking a sip of tea.
Bai Yu'an leaned on the armrest of the chair and looked at the ground, but did not reply to A Tao's words.
This is too obvious, but if Shen Jue allows Xiao Ping to go on like this, he must also want him to do so.
Let me ask you how the fatuous and violent little emperor can win the hearts of the people, even when he grows up, he is still a straw bag.
Shen Jue wants to make this puppet emperor stupid until death.
Seeing that both of them were silent, A Tao didn't know if she had said something wrong. She closed her mouth and turned around, and saw Bai Yuanqing coming in from outside. She quickly said to Bai Yu'an, "Master Yuan Qing is back."
