May you live in peace

In the city, Li Da and Lin Tai went to buy cloth and mattresses, but they separated to save time.Gao Shan went to a shop that sells snacks, so he didn't plan to go back for dinner tonight, so he gathered at Uncle Lin's house.

After turning a few street corners, I threw some coins into some beggars, and then I was going to go back the same way to find Uncle Lin and the others.

"Gao Yulin, Gao Yulin." A distant voice came, Gao Shan felt strange, she was not familiar with this voice.

"Gao Yulin, here." At the door of a restaurant, a young man in a light green robe stood, holding a jug in his hand, shouted to her position, and then ran over.

"Gao Yulin, don't you remember me?" The young man smiled so much that he showed two canine teeth. Gao Shan felt very familiar, squinted his eyes and looked around, and then remembered that this was the last time he was drunk at the Huashi Banquet and had been sitting by himself. nearby teenagers.Gao Shan remembered that he was not very familiar with the other sons, but they also respected him very much.

The young man saw Gao Shan's reaction, and knew that he might have guessed himself, "My surname is Gusu, my single name is Huai, and my name is Bo Nian."

Gao Shan bowed to show his friendliness, and the young man ignored Gao Shan's restraint and walked back with her.

"I've always wanted to meet you, but you're a military officer, and I'm a small recorder, so I haven't been able to get to know you yet."

Seeing that he was smiling very sincerely, Gao Shan didn't know why he was willing to make friends with him.

"Master Gusu."

"Just call me by my name, or you can just call me Bo Nian."

Seeing that he was indeed very close, Gao Shan felt relieved thinking that he had no power and what could be obtained.Seeing that Gusu Huai was holding wine in his right hand, a few books in his elbow, and something in his left hand, "Let me help you."

"Thank you." With some burden relieved, he looked much happier.Gao Shan looked at the few books in his hand, most of which were related to this scientific expedition.

"Are you going to take the exam?"

"Yes, there are still a few days until the exam."

"I wish you the title on the gold list." Gusu Huai thanked with a smile, the two seemed to hit it off right away, and chatted happily along the way.

"My master has always wanted to meet you, but he didn't have the chance, so he asked me to make this unfeeling request to you."

"Your master?" Gao Shan was puzzled.

"Yes, if you have time, I would trouble you to meet him."

Gao Sugimoto also liked Gusu Huai's acquaintance, and he gave him a warm feeling, so he nodded in agreement.

"My house is right in front. If you have time, you can come to my house as a guest." Gusu Huai pointed to the house in front, the mahogany door and plaque, and two stone lions standing on both sides of the door. It seems that his status is not low.

"Recently, you should pay more attention."

Gao Shan turned his head to look at him, and saw that his expression did not change, but he spoke with worry.

"what?"

"Capital, no, the world is not peaceful these days."

"What do you mean?"

Gu Suhuai sighed, not knowing how to speak.

"If you get a tiger and want to invite an eagle, you have to do everything. Be careful." Gao Shan was puzzled, and wanted to ask something, but Gu Suhuai pointed at Li Da and Lin Tai across the street, and they shouted Takasugi.

"Gao Yulin can come to my house if you have nothing to do. After my subject exam is over, there will be a banquet. I hope you can come."

Seeing the two people waiting opposite, Gao Shan bowed to say goodbye.

Gusuhuai stepped into the gate of the mansion after seeing the few people leaving.The yard is full of magnolias, blooming in patches, as if walking into a world paved with white.Go around the porch, past the main house and head towards the backyard.In the courtyard of the backyard, there stood a man in white clothes. He sprinkled bait into the lake, watched a group of koi approaching, heard footsteps behind him, and threw out all the bait in his hand. After cleaning his hands, he turned around. Looking around at Gusu Huai.

"came back."

"Master." Gusu Huai saluted respectfully, and Jiao Tianao waved his hand to make him stand up.

"Well, did you tell her?"

"I've already said it, and I also told him the poem that you asked me to warn him." Gusu Huai handed out the wine in his hand, Jiao Tianao took it, opened the stopper and smelled it, the best peach blossom wine, full-bodied There is also the taste of peach blossom in the aroma of the wine.

"I hope she can understand." Jiao Tianao put away the wine, but he also began to think in his heart that Gao Shan was the chosen "destiner", and he also had the responsibility to tell her something, but he had to wait for the right time.

"What if he doesn't understand?" Gusu Huai asked.

"Oh, I can't go against God's will again, I just hope she can protect herself well."

Gu Suhuai pursed her lips, looking at this extremely young man who was about to turn [-], she didn't know what to say.

"Let's go back to the palace." Jiao Tianao walked out of the court, but there was no sound, Gusu Huai followed behind him, and the two went to the direction of the palace.

In the Jinhua Hall, Yin Xi and Yin Ran were sitting opposite each other, and the black and white pieces on the chessboard criss-crossed.Yin Ran was wearing a bright yellow robe, but instead of dragon patterns, it was embroidered with Buddhist scriptures.Holding the bead in his hand, he turned it slowly, his temples were gray, and his complexion was still a little old.Yin Xi was wearing a plain robe with python patterns embroidered on the sleeves, and her hair was casually draped, looking at the chessboard and thinking.

"How is Xi'er preparing for the scientific examination?" Yin Ran put down the chess pieces in his hand and surrounded Yin Xi's black chess pieces.

"It's been a while since I've ordered you to go down, and I've only reminded you a lot about some minor details. Other things have been arranged properly." Yin Xi stared at the chessboard, and looked up at her father. Today's moves are really different from the past. .

"En." Yin Ran nodded.

"At the last Huashi Banquet, were the young masters still outstanding?" Yin Ran smiled and looked at Yin Xi with narrowed eyes, with a hint of expectation in his tone.

"The young masters of each family are extraordinary." Yin Xi made a move, rushed out of a point, and broke the situation where Bai Zi wanted to surround Hei Zi to death.

Yin Ran glanced at the chessboard, and continued to ask: "Is there anyone you like?"

Yin Xi shook her head, Yin Ran was a little disappointed.

"In a few days, it will be your birthday. After this birthday, you will be twenty-one, and you should find a husband. Otherwise, you should laugh at the royal family's children who can't get married." While joking, Yin Xi smiled, but didn't reply.

"In a few days, the envoys sent by various countries will arrive in our country. Your birthday is approaching, so let's celebrate it with your birthday." Yin Ran put Bai Zi down, changed positions, and continued to surround Hei Zi.

"Listen to your father."

"Cough." Yin Ran coughed. Seeing this, the eunuchs around him immediately stepped forward and was scolded by him.

"My health is getting worse and worse. You and Luo Er should pay more attention to managing state affairs. When the Great Compassionate Palace is completed, I will live in it. If there is anything that cannot be resolved, then report to me."

"Father is still in good health, Luo Er and I still need to be nurtured and taught by Father a lot."

Yin Ran waved his hand and patted Yin Xi's back lightly.

"I know about my health. You and Luo Er are highly regarded by the ministers, so I can rest assured. When I recover, I will take charge of the state affairs."

Yin Xi stood up and took the seal that Yin Ran handed her, which was specially made for her and Yin Luo to take charge of state affairs. Yin Xi buried her head a little low and couldn't see her expression clearly.

"National teacher, please see me." A shrill voice sounded from outside the door.Yin Xi looked at the door from the corner of her eye, and saw Yin Ran straighten up, making Jiao Tianao known.Yin Xi returned to her seat and looked at the white figure that was coming.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness." Jiao Tianao did not kneel down, but nodded.Yin Ran didn't care, and let him sit directly not far from her.

"What's the matter with the national teacher seeing me?"

Jiao Tianao smiled warmly, his expression was as calm as ever, with an ethereal air beyond the world.His eyes swept over Yin Xi's direction, looked at the pattern on the chessboard, and replied: "A few days ago, the Western Pleiadians were abnormal."

Yin Ran paused, and looked at Jiao Tianao inexplicably.

"The Subaru host is fierce, and belongs to the central government. I hope His Majesty and the ministers will pay more attention."

"Well, in a few days I will go to the ancestral temple to worship for safety."

Jiao Tianao nodded, seeing that he had nothing to do, he said, "The minister will leave."

"My son is going to send off the national teacher."

Yin Ran nodded, asked someone to clean up the chessboard, and prepared to rest for a while.After a little courtesy, the two withdrew.

On the way, Jiao Tianao followed Yin Xi half a body away, both of them were very quiet.

"The national teacher is here to find me."

"Exactly."

Yin Xi turned around the imperial garden and asked the accompanying people to wait outside, and the two walked towards the pavilion in the pond.

"What's the matter?"

Jiao Tianao looked at Yin Xi who was standing with her hands behind her back. Looking from her back, she was exactly the same as her mother's empress when she was young. She was slender but with innate elegance.

"There is indeed a change in the west, and the princess should also be aware of the recent affairs of the government and the opposition."

"So, his gaze has already looked at this person's position?"

Jiao Tianao didn't make a sound, Yin Xi knew he had acquiesced.Gao Shan's identity is special, except for her, Yin Luo and the national teacher, no one knows her origin.Now that he is just an inconspicuous official position, he has attracted the attention of these people. It seems that he should pay more attention to avoid causing trouble.

"My palace knows, the national teacher should also pay attention. Today I will not accompany the national teacher to visit the imperial garden. When I go back, I will also copy the scriptures for the mother and pay homage to her."

Jiao Tianao's eyes flickered, but he quickly returned to normal, watching Yin Xi's leaving figure, heaved a long sigh.Seeing that Yin Xi's shadow could no longer be seen, he raised his feet and walked back. Although his back was straight, it could be seen that he was absent-minded when he walked.
