Willing to be hired by Jiangshan

ask for directions

Ever since leaving the Hall of Peace, Yan Xi's brows have never been loosened.

Do you want to find someone to ask about the current situation?In fact, you don't need to ask to know that the situation must be very unfavorable, otherwise Lin Rongchen would not be so angry.But if he didn't ask, he felt restless and uncomfortable.After thinking about it, I still have to find He Shuyue, although he may not be willing to tell.

Lin Rongchen told him last time that if you are bored, you can meet the saint or go to He Shuyue.What's more, when He Shuyue saw him back, she was very friendly, nodded and smiled without airs.

But thinking of his mysterious smile that is always full of deep meaning, Yan Xi is covered with hairs, and has the illusion of being seen through.In addition, he always felt that Dali Temple, like the Ministry of Criminal Justice, was full of ghosts and could not be avoided, so he never moved to visit He Shuyue, so let's just go there today.

He Shuyue was very surprised by Yan Xi's visit, but she still had that see-through smile, "Your guest is here! What kind of wind brought Lord Yan here today?"

"..." Yan Xi laughed awkwardly, "Master He was joking. I have been in office for a long time, but I have not been able to make an official visit, and I feel very sorry."

"You don't need these empty etiquettes with me." He Shuyue ushered him into the seat, and said with a smile, "I have heard many things about Mr. Yan before I have met Mr. Yan, and I have been friends with him for a long time."

Heard a lot about him?Yan Xi was ashamed, it must be his misdeeds of being a dandy and messing around. "Rumor..."

"The rumors are not credible." He Shuyue pointed to the wall behind Yan Xi, where his paintings hung. "Does Lord Yan recognize this painting? In order to get it from the emperor, I have been rejected a lot. He is extremely reluctant to win the favor of the emperor."

"Why does the emperor have this painting?" Even Yan Xi himself forgot when he painted it.

He Shuyue said: "This is just one of the emperor's collections."

Yan Xi was stunned, "Master He, what do you mean...the emperor is collecting the paintings of lower officials?"

"Yeah." He Shuyue waved the paper fan and looked at him with a faint smile, "After the Dragon Boat Festival, he has this habit. I am afraid that most of Mr. Yan's paintings are now stored in the Imperial Study Room, and some are on the way to the Imperial Study Room .”

Yan Xi blushed, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, "Your Majesty, why..."

"Why?" He Shuyue suppressed a smile, "Maybe he simply likes Mr. Yan's paintings, like this official, he would ask for one even if he is begging for nothing."

"So it's like this..." Yan Xi didn't even notice the disappointment in his tone.

He Shuyue smiled and said: "Master Yan came to see me, it's not just a simple visit, right?"

Yan Xi almost forgot the business.He put away his chaotic thoughts and asked: "Eunuch Zhou said that the emperor has been unable to eat and sleep well recently, does your lord know what is bothering you?"

"Of course I know." He Shuyue put away the folding fan, "But—" He raised the volume and looked at Yan Xi with deep meaning, "Why did Master Yan ask about this?"

Yan Xi was embarrassed, did he want to tell the truth just to see if there was anything he could do to help Lin Rongchen?

He Shuyue said: "If I were Lord Yan, I wouldn't come to Dali Temple even if I was weeding and basking in the Imperial Academy."

"It's a pity that Master He is not a low-ranking official." Yan Xi suppressed the abnormal throbbing in his heart just now, and changed into a grinning expression, "It's a matter of loyalty to the king! A low-ranking official can never let the emperor down." Of course, you have to care about this preference."

He Shuyue was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "The emperor has more than a preference for Mr. Yan."

Yan Xi was startled, "What do you mean by that?"

He Shuyue said mysteriously: "This—Master Yan is going to ask the emperor himself."

"..." Yan Xi shook his head.He's not crazy, so he wouldn't ask!Just thinking about it, you can know Lin Rongchen's answer - "I only take care of you a little bit because of the Taifu's face, and you are so proud of being favored!"

He Shuyue said: "Even if I don't tell you about the court, you can guess it. With the emperor's current ability, there is nothing he can do with Fu Zhuo. It's no wonder he can eat and sleep well!"

Yan Xi knew that He Shuyue didn't want to talk to him in detail, so she didn't ask any more.

He Shuyue stared at him for a while, and said inexplicably, "I always think you are very similar to Ting Zhi."

It was Gu Tingzhi again.Yan Xi smiled and said: "Master He has good eyesight, the emperor thinks so, and the princess thinks so too."

"Oh? The emperor also said that you look like you?" He Shuyue crossed her chest and looked at Yan Xi, "Does Lord Yan think so too?"

"No." Yan Xi shook his head, "How can a lower official compare to Mr. Gu? No one in the court knows that Mr. Gu was so popular in the past, that no one can match him?"

"Great favor for a while?" He Shuyue said with a half-smile, "The emperor, who is so strict, treats you very...what is the reason for the preference?"

"Perhaps it was to comfort Mr. Gu's regret of not being able to stay in the court." Yan Xi said so, but also thought so in his heart.Unexpectedly, He Shuyue laughed out loud.

Yan Xi was puzzled, "Why is Master He laughing?"

"It's nothing. I just think that the emperor may have a long way to go." He Shuyue smiled and added, "Actually, you and Tingzhi have nothing in common with each other. At most, you are as talented as you, but this It's not enough to make the emperor feel that you can replace him. Mr. Yan is so transparent, you should understand that the emperor's unusual treatment of you has nothing to do with anyone."

Yan Xi's smile froze on his face, and the unknown emotion that had been suppressed just now came out again, he opened his mouth and looked at He Shuyue, dumbfounded.

"Okay. I still have something to investigate, so I won't keep Mr. Yan." He Shuyue patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Actually, I also think Mr. Yan is very kind. If you are not busy, you are welcome to come to Dali often. Sitting in the temple."

Yan Xi walked from Dali Temple back to Imperial Academy, her footsteps were flimsy, like stepping on clouds and mist.

In the next few days, he had to go to the Temple of Peace every day to face the saint. Lin Rongchen didn't do anything unusual, and he was only asked to study aside, for an hour or two for a long time, and for half an hour for a short time.

Lin Rongchen lowered his head while grading paperwork, his face faded from the slight greenness when he first met, and became more angular, impeccably handsome.Yan Xi stared at him blankly, why didn't he find him so good-looking before?

Perhaps aware of Yan Xi's abnormality, Lin Rongchen put down the memorial slowly, raised his head, his eyes sparkled, "How long are you going to stare at me?"

Yan Xi wished to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, and made up a random reason, "I have a hidden disease, and I want to remember the emperor's elegant and elegant attitude at this time, so for a while... I took a second look."

Lin Rongchen laughed, "Why do you think I gave you a painting last time?"

"Why?" Yan Xi pondered for a while, and seemed to understand. "The emperor wants to see if I can remember you when I see you during the day and the painting at night?"

"If you can remember the day-to-day relationship, you will remember Liang Yanwen a long time ago. I gave you the painting, but it's just..." I just want you to see me all the time... Lin Rongchen sighed very lightly, "It's just a whim. "

"Wei Chen knows." Yan Xi followed suit, and the depression in his heart not only did not ease, but became more serious. "Your Majesty, would you like to..." My minister draws a picture for you?When the words came to his lips, Yan Xi couldn't ask.The other person is here, as long as Lin Rongchen wants to, he can be asked to write anytime and anywhere.But since Lin Rongchen knew about Yin Xin, he never said that he liked his paintings.If he asked, it would be like Baba insisting on sending the painting.

"What do you want?" Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Lin Rongchen aroused curiosity, "What do you want to say?"

Yan Xi lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, "It's nothing, I just want to persuade the emperor to take care of his health. If there is nothing wrong, I will step back first."

Lin Rongchen looked at his back, a cold light flashed in his deep eyes, "Yuanzheng!"

Eunuch Zhou stepped forward, "The old slave is here!"

"Where did Yan Xi go just now?" With such ups and downs, someone must have said something to him.

"The old slave will go and investigate."

When Yan Xi entered the palace and when he left, Cai Yun recorded them carefully and presented them to Concubine Yu.

Do you have to read it every day?Will it be too frequent?Holding the timetable, Yubi asked, "Did you find anything unusual?"

Caiyun shook her head, "The servants dare not approach, they can only watch from a distance, but they didn't find anything unusual. Why should your empress pay attention to Mr. Yan? Is he not good for the emperor?"

"No!" Realizing that her tone was too harsh, Yubi smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just very curious about Mr. Yan. I heard that he didn't know anything before, and he was able to become the top student in high school overnight. That's all. That's right. , has the emperor summoned Concubine Yi to sleep with her recently?"

"I've never heard of it." Caiyun paused, and said, "Yunchu has served as emperor, and there has never been one who is as unfeminine as we are. Empress, don't be sad, even if it is Concubine Yi, the emperor only lasts for a month." Is it just a lucky one?"

That's not normal!

At the Dragon Boat Festival last time, Concubine Yu always felt that the way Lin Rongchen looked at Yan Xi was not at all like the way an emperor looks at his courtiers.Especially when Yan Xi was painting, everyone was staring at the brush in his hand, only Yubi was secretly observing Lin Rongchen's reaction, her eyes were hot and forbearing.

At that time, a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, is it possible that the rumor about King Jing is actually Lin Rongchen?She was also frightened by her own thought, and ordered Caiyun to stare at it from afar, just to ask for an understanding. "Quietly ask, how does the emperor treat this Lord Yan? Don't make it public, if you are really asked... just say, just say that you admire the champion very much, and don't mention the emperor. Do you understand?"

Caiyun led the order to retreat.
