"You can tell me what the matter is. As for whether I can help you or not, it depends on my mood."
"My aunt secretly met someone recently, and that person is probably the illegitimate son of my father."
"What?" Bai Song was rarely surprised when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down.
It is not difficult to understand that the emperor has an illegitimate child. After all, which emperor does not have some blood among the people?
"So what? Why are you so nervous?"
"In the past few years, my aunt has been taking care of me in every possible way and has never had contact with other princes. A few days ago, I found that my aunt met some people in private. Some of them were a few years older than the disciple. Princess Danyang was the aunt like the disciple.
Does such an abnormal behavior mean that my aunt will change her bail to another prince?"
"Princess Danyang just met some people in private, and you are so panicked. How will you deal with bigger things in the future?" Bai Song frowned, looking at Li Chengqian's panicked look, and seemed not satisfied.
But this cannot be blamed on Li Chengqian. After all, this child has been growing up in a greenhouse since he was born. Not only has he been protected and cared for by his parents, but he has also been carried by Princess Danyang like a baby. He has never encountered an unknown person.
threaten.
Bai Song's teachings in the past few years only taught some concepts and thoughts, without any life experience.
Li Chengqian is an adult, but his mind is still like that of a child.
Among the people he trusts most, besides his parents, are his aunt and husband.
Nowadays, my aunt has suddenly become mysterious and mysterious, and some strange faces often appear in the East Palace. Since I can't get any news, I naturally feel at a loss.
Facing Bai Song's rhetorical question, Li Chengqian didn't know how to answer, so he could only look around in panic.
Bai Song had some feelings for Li Chengqian after all. Seeing the child in such a state, he shook his head helplessly and patted his shoulder gently: "Don't be nervous, you are the prince, and you have been the prince from the beginning.
No one can shake your position. Not even Princess Danyang. You don’t have to care about the attitudes of the people around you. You should let the people around you care about your attitude, because the owner of the East Palace is you, not others. What you need to care about
It’s just your parents, and as long as you don’t disappoint the emperor and queen, you don’t have to worry about anything.”
Li Chengqian seemed to understand but was a little worried: "Sir, do you really not need to worry?"
"Don't worry."
"Can you please stop avoiding students in the future?" Li Chengqian looked at Bai Song longingly and said.
Bai Song thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Bring your princess to me another day."
Hearing such an answer, Li Chengqian felt a little happy on his face and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, sir, I will bring the princess to teach you someday."
After sending Li Chengqian away, Bai Song murmured to himself: "Why did Princess Danyang secretly see the emperor's illegitimate son?"
Just as he was thinking about it, Qing'er brought a piece of news: "Our people lost track of a suspicious person while chasing him."
"Where did you lose it?"
"In the East Palace, our people dare not approach rashly."
"East Palace..."
For a moment, Bai Song thought of the conversation he had with Li Chengqian a second ago.
"Is there really something happening in the East Palace?"
"Ms. sir, what should we do now? Do we still want to keep watching?"
"No need for the time being, I will go to the East Palace to see it myself when I have time."
With that said, Bai Song and Qing'er patrolled around the imperial city. When they arrived at a city gate, they saw a Taoist priest performing a trick of catching ghosts with talisman water.
It was immediately discovered by the officers and soldiers in charge of the inspection.
These officers and soldiers have been specially trained by Bai Song. Those little tricks in the world have long since lost their survival space. It is okay to cheat food and drink in small places. But if you want to use this method to gain fame at the Alchemy Conference, you are asking for trouble.
eat.
The best way to make a fuss is to be laughed at.
If you make a bad move, you will be arrested by the government and put in jail.
For a time, all the Taoist priests who participated in the alchemy competition knew that the imperial officers and soldiers were very powerful. No matter what kind of magic technique they performed, they would be exposed halfway through the performance in front of others.
As a result, many people backed down, which also reduced the number of people who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
When Qing'er saw this scene, she felt a lot and thought of the scenes when she first got to know the man in front of her.
"Ms. sir..."
Qing'er secretly hooked Bai Song's finger and shook Bai Song's arm coquettishly, as if she was waiting for Bai Song's response lovingly.
Bai Song smiled, reached out and gently held Qing'er's face, nodded, and silently told her that he had not forgotten every detail of the past.
If Qing'er hadn't been wearing a man's official uniform, Bai Song would have given her a peck on the face.
But the current scene is ambiguous enough.
"cough!"
A heavy cough interrupted Bai Song, making Qing'er shrink back in fright.
Master Zhang Liang stood in front of Bai Song, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Master Bai Songbai actually...actually likes men!"
Zhang Liang is calm on the surface, but there are huge waves in his heart. He must not let his daughter come into contact with him again in the future!
Today’s young people are really incomprehensible!
Bai Song didn't care. Seeing that Qing'er's blushing face was really pretty, he reached out and touched it in front of Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang was very excited when he saw this.
"Master Zhang, what brings you here?"
Master Zhang paused, trying to calm down, and then said: "Master Bai, I have something to ask of you."
"What's the matter?"
"Seeing that it is another year, next spring will be the spring festival that occurs once every three years. According to the usual practice, this winter will determine the examiner for the next spring. If it is convenient for Sir Bai, can you recommend me to be the examiner in front of the emperor? I
…”
Before Mr. Zhang finished speaking, Bai Song interrupted directly: "No problem."
Master Zhang had been preparing for today's event for a long time, and there was still a lot to say later. Unexpectedly, Bai Song agreed directly.
Zhang Liang was a little excited and didn't know how to thank him.
This was the first time since he met Bai Song that he asked for something, and it was a big deal.
Nowadays, there are more and more new generation officials, the structure of the court is changing, and the position of Minister of Industry seems to be a little unstable.
Mr. Zhang has never had the idea of forming a party for personal gain, but now it seems to be the general trend to only form parties and not for personal gain.
The vitality shown by the younger generation has impacted the older generation of officials.
If you become next year's examiner, you can be counted as a teacher for next year's examinees. Whoever is reused among this year's examinees will be able to build closer relationships in the future.
So Zhang Liang wanted to apply for the position of examiner.
But he also knew that this matter was not easy, and he was definitely not the only one who wanted to be the examiner.
With his management in the officialdom, it would be impossible without strong foreign aid.
Among the people Mr. Zhang knows, only Bai Song has this relationship and ability.
And Bai Song agreed to be so decisive because he had actually chosen Mr. Zhang as Bai Song's spokesperson in the court.
