After the court was dispersed, the hundreds of officials in the palace wanted to show their faces in front of the emperor's new favorite. Bai Sheng and Helian Yanran were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, congratulating and flattering.

"Do you really think that you are a nobleman? No matter how much you canonize it, you can't change the humble background of the daughter of a merchant. The sixth prince looked at the two people who were surrounded by hundreds of officials, and said fiercely.

The sixth brother said cautiously. The fourth prince reminded, with a rare loss of the smile on his face, "The county lord of Zhengerpin, who was canonized by his father Chrysostom Yuyan in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, is naturally extremely noble. ”

"I can't figure it out, why can the old twelve be so valued by his father, just because he coaxed the daughter of the merchant to scatter those things?" said the sixth prince angrily.

"Because it doesn't matter what. The important thing is that the father and emperor now value the twelve younger brothers more than everyone else, and all of this is inseparable from this 'Wenxi County Lord'. The four princes looked at the dignified and calm, noble and graceful shadow in the crowd, and the color of certainty in their eyes became more and more determined.

"Just by her, the fourth brother can't make her so important just because she likes someone. The six princes scoffed, he had always been at odds with Bai Sheng, and even looking at Helian Yanran was very unpleasant, "To say that she doesn't please her father and emperor much, most of the titles of princesses, county lords, and county lords have always been 'Fuchang, Shouyang, Qingping' and the like with auspicious meanings? ”

The fourth prince shook his head, and secretly sighed that the sixth prince thought too simply, and he couldn't understand the emperor's deep meaning at all: "Smell happy, smell happy, and smell it, and I will be happy when I hear it." Where is she not favored by her father, it is clear that her father is very welcome, as long as he hears her name, he is very happy. Although they are all positive and second-class products, they are far more attentive than the likes of 'Qingping'. ”

"This ...... How is this possible, Fourth brother, aren't you kidding me?" the sixth prince looked shocked and didn't want to believe it.

The fourth prince glanced at him and said calmly: "Now you know, right? Even the father's own daughter has never been treated so favorably." Her father is only afraid of her more than anyone else. ”

"In this way, isn't the old twelve invincible? Fourth brother, you have to think of a way quickly. The sixth prince said anxiously.

Not necessarily. The fourth prince sneered, "The tree is a big move, this ideal must be understood by our twelve brothers soon." ”

Although Bai Sheng had already understood the truth of the tree, he realized that he had not really dealt with it when it came to the end.

The emperor gave him five days to prepare, which was not easy in the first place, but he encountered all kinds of uncooperation. The household department refused to hand over the money quickly, and repeatedly stressed that the huge amount could not be lost, and that it must be handled meticulously in accordance with the complicated procedures. Bai Sheng could only report and approve it layer by layer, but he couldn't find the corresponding responsible officials in some links, and the matter was stuck. Bai Sheng used both soft and hard, but the household department did not enter the oil and salt, and he also made a look of selflessness and impartiality, which made it seem that Bai Sheng became the culprit who could not be successfully completed this matter. On the grain side, he was very happy, but it was clear that all he saw in the granary was new rice, and when it was sent to Bai Sheng's mansion, he kept an eye on it and rechecked it once, but found that it had become old rice that had been around for many years. Although it is barely edible, it is seriously inconsistent with the new rice previously reported. Bai Sheng asked them for an explanation, and the head of the household asked him to find the granary, although the people in the granary did not say anything clearly, they only emphasized that when they were taken away from them, they were all proper new rice, and the words implied that Bai Sheng himself replaced the new rice with old rice to fill his own pockets. Bai Sheng was angry and almost beat the court officials on the spot.

I didn't think it would be smoother when I arrived at the Ministry of Industry, who knew that Bai Sheng came twice, and he couldn't even see the face of the Ministry of Industry. It's not that he inspects the city walls at the gates to see if they need to be repaired, or that he goes to the palace to check the progress of the repairs. Bai Sheng felt that the Ministry of Industry was simply the busiest official yamen in the entire Yue country, and there was no one. And the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is almost more busy than his father, and he can be called a great opportunity. The officials in charge can't see it, and the people below can't be the masters, so naturally they can't get the important Anhui Huaifu embankment fortification map.

The rest of the place was full of prevarication and procrastination, and in short, nothing went well.

Two days passed, and nothing was accomplished. Bai Sheng couldn't help but be a little anxious. These people dared to make things difficult for him, but they didn't dare to tell the emperor. Indeed, it was the quickest and most effective solution, and it was the last thing he wanted. It is equivalent to showing the emperor that he is not up to the task, and once he does this, he will no longer expect any weighty errands in the future, let alone the matter of competing for the throne. In fact, his father may not really know about these things, and he is not waiting to see how he solves them.

After tossing and turning for two consecutive days, Bai Sheng's complexion was inevitably not very good. Helian Yanran saw it, ordered Yanbo to stew some supplements, and personally sent them over.

"Yanran is here, sit down. "Bai Sheng is a little in good spirits.

"Although His Highness has long been cured, if he rests for a long time, it will not be good for his body. Helian Yanran reminded.

"There are less than three days left before the five-day period given by my father, but the money and food are still not in place, so how can I sleep peacefully?" Bai Sheng didn't want to vomit bitterness in front of Helian Yanran, but as soon as she opened her mouth, he couldn't help but want to confide in her. He found himself not only trusting her, but also depending.

"Your Highness doesn't need to worry. You are the messenger chosen by His Majesty, and all disaster relief matters are up to you to decide, how you want to deal with them, even if you let it go, at worst, there are courtiers who will give you the bottom line, even if you can't get a penny or a grain of grain, and the courtiers will never ask you to set off empty-handed. So, what else does Your Highness have to scruple about?" Helian Yanran said, arrogant and domineering, but his eyes were empty, but people took it for granted.

"Sure enough, only Yanran treats me the most sincerely. Bai Sheng suddenly felt better, grabbed her hand and put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed, looking intoxicated, "It's really a reassuring taste, unique, only Yanran has a fragrance, it really makes me fascinated." ”

Helian Yanran saw that he began to tease himself again, and knew that he had an idea. Without further ado, he withdrew his hand and stepped back.

Bai Sheng took a step forward and got very close to her: "Yanran, are you leaving?

Helian Yanran could only hear Bai Sheng's voice sounding above her head, she resisted the urge to push him away, broke free as gently as possible, saluted, and said, "Your Highness still has a lot of business to do, and the courtiers send your Highness off." ”

Bai Sheng smiled, and didn't feel embarrassed for her to turn around and leave. Before leaving, he didn't forget to joke: "Yanran must remember to miss me." After saying that, he left the house very happily. He really wanted to keep this little woman by his side, it had nothing to do with love, as long as she was there, it seemed that there was nothing to worry about. It was such a good feeling that he didn't want to let go.
