After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

The next day.

Although the news of Mr. Shen Xi's arrival in the Imperial City was not widely publicized, it soon spread.

Many scholars in the imperial city were very excited and wanted to ask to see Mr. Shen Xi.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Changhan was discussing matters with several courtiers when this news was delivered.

"Mr. Chen Xi actually entered the imperial city?" Liu Changhan was slightly stunned when he heard the news reported by his servant.

"What, Mr. Shen Xi?"

When the courtiers heard this name, they all became energetic.

"Mr. Shen Xi and his wife have traveled far and wide. There has been no news for many years. How come he suddenly came to the Imperial City?"

"Mr. Chen Xi is here, where is he now?" Some courtiers quickly asked the servant who reported the news.

"For the record, Prime Minister, sir, according to the news, Mr. Shen Xi went directly to the Ning'an Marquis Mansion."

"Why are you going to Ning'an Marquis Mansion?"

"Have you forgotten about the Queen? As a disciple of Mr. Shen Xi, it is reasonable for Mr. Shen Xi to come to the Imperial City to visit Ning'an Marquis Mansion this time."

"Yes, yes, how could I forget this!"

Several courtiers were chatting and talking, with excitement in their tone.

It wasn't until they saw Liu Changhan frowning that they quickly stopped talking.

"Excuse me, Prime Minister. We also heard the news suddenly and were a little surprised for a moment."

"Yes, but the discussion is still the most important thing. Let's continue the discussion quickly."

Liu Changhan waved his hand, signaling the courtiers to stop.

"Nowadays, the issue of the emperor's heir is more important than the government affairs of the court. We cannot allow the Queen to continue to be so doting. Not only did she not advise the emperor, but she also..."

Liu Changhan paused for a moment, his brows furrowed even more tightly, but he did not continue.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what else is there?" a courtier asked.

Liu Changhan thought of what Liu Zhaoran said after returning from the palace, and suddenly felt angry again. It was clear that he was deliberately angry with him.

"It's nothing, but now that Mr. Shen Xi has come to the Imperial City, this may be a good thing for us."

"Does the Prime Minister mean...that you want Mr. Shen Xi to persuade the Queen?"

"Will this work? From the looks of the Queen, she doesn't mind the rumors at all, and she has no intention of persuading the Emperor. Although Mr. Shen Xi is her teacher, after all, they haven't seen each other for so many years, so I don’t know how much love is left.” Some courtiers couldn’t help but speak, feeling that this approach seemed unlikely.

"Mr. Shen Xi is not only the Queen's teacher, but also his importance in the hearts of many literati and scholars is immeasurable. As long as he opens his mouth to persuade the Queen, even if there is not much affection between teachers and students, he will still be considered in the hearts of the literati. As for the influence among literati students, the Queen Mother will definitely make some concessions." Liu Changhan said thoughtfully.

Although the relationship between the emperor and the empress seems to be deep and righteous now, and they are not afraid of any rumors, this is still the first time, and the weight on them is not heavy yet.

Once this matter involves those literati students, it will not be so easy to suppress.

For courtiers, they are in the court and living on the emperor's salary, so it is natural that some things should not be said too much.

But those literati scholars have pens as sharp as swords. If their resentment is really aroused, even the emperor may have to make concessions for the sake of reputation and the words of scribes.

After hearing Liu Changhan's words, the other courtiers suddenly felt justified and began to discuss again. They should seize the time to invite Mr. Shen Xi to meet, explain the situation to him clearly, and then ask him to give advice.

At this time, outside the hall, Liu Zhaoran stood by the window, listening to the conversation inside, frowning worriedly, and then quietly left the window.

On the outskirts of the city, in the mountains and forests.

Mr. Shen Xi raised his wine glass and spilled all the wine on the ground. He looked at the dusty tombstone in front of him and raised his hand to sweep it.

"The teacher came to see you. Although it's a little late, don't blame me."

Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi stood behind Mr. Shen Xi. Neither of them spoke, they just stood side by side with their fingers intertwined.

It wasn't until Mr. Shen Xi finished everything that he turned around and said to the two of them: "Okay, let's go."

"Teacher, how about we go for a walk around first, and you and your senior brother can talk alone."

Maybe because they are here, there are some things that the teacher is not comfortable saying.

"No need." Mr. Shen Xi shook his head and glanced at the tombstone again. "Actually, when he left and said he would come to the imperial city in the future, I thought that this might be the end. This child has a lot of thoughts and hidden things. There are too many things going on, and even if I am his teacher, he is not willing to reveal anything. Although I don’t know what he is thinking in his heart, but even if he loses, he will finally have an ending. "

When he came here today, he didn't have anything to say, he just wanted to express his friendship.

Seeing this, Chu Huan didn't say anything more, but followed Mr. Shen Xi to the foot of the mountain, and then took a carriage back to Ning'an Hou Mansion.

Along the way, Mr. Chen Xi remained silent. Chu Huanyan looked at him like this. Although she wanted to speak several times, she swallowed her words in the end.

The only person in the world who could persuade the teacher is no longer there.

The wheels rolled over the road and before they completely stopped in front of the Ning'an Hou Mansion, I felt that there were many more people on the street, and they were all dressed as literati.

And when the carriage stopped and several people got off the carriage, someone stepped forward and asked, "May I ask, are you Mr. Shen Xi?"

After receiving a positive answer, the student who asked the question was immediately excited. The other students standing around also looked happy.

"Mr. Chen Xi, we are all students and admire you very much. I came here today hoping to get your guidance. No, even if I just listen to you say a word or two, it will be the honor of my life!"

"Yes, Mr. Shen Xi, it is really a blessing for me to meet you!"

"That's right, junior too..."

The surrounding students gathered around him, but they were afraid of being rude and did not push forward. Everyone bowed their hands respectfully.

Among these people, Chu Huanyan sharply spotted Liu Zhaoran among them.

Seeing that Chu Huanyan noticed him, Liu Zhaoran waved to her quickly.

"Zhaoran is over there. Something seems to be wrong. I'll go over and take a look. I'll leave this place to you and the teacher." After saying something to Xiao Jinzhi, Chu Huanyan quickly walked aside.

Liu Zhaoran also squeezed through the students, and after reaching Chu Huanyan's side, he immediately said something.

"Never let Mr. Shen Xi go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
