On the day Bai Ziyu left Beijing, Yun Yuhong was reluctant and took everyone to the Shili Pavilion outside the city. During this time, the two saw each other every day, and they were used to seeing each other as soon as they looked up, and they felt unbearable at the thought of being separated for a while. Yun Yuhong took Bai Ziyu's hand and said, "You have to pay attention to your body this time, don't be too tired." ”

Bai Ziyu nodded and said softly: "I know, you also have to pay attention to your body, there are many things in the court, you have to listen to Mr. Ning's opinion more." ”

Mr. Ning cried silently in his heart next to him, what to listen to my opinion, just let me work more, you leave, if you don't remind the master, you will also throw the prime minister's work to me, now, I don't even have time to drink tea.

Yun Yuhong nodded, and said to the crybaby and stingy ghost who followed Bai Ziyu: "You two also have to cheer up, pay more attention on the way, and I will leave the safety of Yulang to you." ”

The stingy ghost patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, master, Bai Gongzi is here with me, and I will definitely protect him with my life." ”

The crybaby also followed: "We will protect Bai Gongzi, and we will not let Bai Gongzi be harmed, and we will not let Bai Gongzi be taken away by the fox spirit." ”

Yun Yuhong and Bai Ziyu's faces turned red, and Yun Yuhong scolded with a smile: "Yulang, I'm not worried, you still worry about yourself." You won't lose people again this time, will you? ”

The crybaby hurriedly said: "No, definitely not, Bai Gongzi will not run around like the four princes." ”

Bai Ziyu smiled and pulled Yun Yuhong over, "Forget about that incident in the past, you can't blame the crybaby." It's not early, I'm leaving, take care. ”

Yun Yuhong advised: "Send a letter every two days, don't forget it." ”

Bai Ziyu nodded and said, "I remember, don't worry, I will come back as soon as possible." ”

Lao Dao couldn't help it on the side, and said to the two: "Okay, the two of you have said goodbye for half an hour, the officials on the road are going to sleep, Bai Gongzi is only going to go for a few days, and it's not a year and a half and he won't come back, start early, come back early." ”

Yun Yuhong glared at Lao Dao, who was so frightened that he shrank his neck and hid behind. Bai Ziyu smiled, looked at Bai Ziren who was being pulled by Bai Shu and said, "Ziren also has to ask Bai Gongzi and Dao Chang to take care of it." ”

Baizhu nodded.

In the end, Bai Ziyu arched his hand and said: "Let's start here, take care." After speaking, he turned around and entered the official sedan chair and left with a large group of people.

Yun Yuhong watched the team walk far away before retracting her gaze, but when she turned around, she saw Bai Ziren, who had not spoken. She still heard some of this child's experience, and her brother's departure didn't seem to have any effect on him, just blindly immersed in his own thoughts, this child can't be autistic.

Yun Yuhong stepped forward and took Bai Ziren's hand and said, "I'll take Ziren and the clever ghost to take Ziren for a walk on the street, you guys go back first." ”

Yun Yuhong's idea is very simple, children like lively and fun places, so she took Bai Ziren to the lively Dashiqiaotou in the north of the city, where there are jugglers and all kinds of snacks, as long as it is a normal child, there is nothing that is not disliked. And as Yun Yuhong expected, Bai Ziren was very interested here, and he didn't blink his eyes when he saw it, but he didn't smile or speak, and he looked timid and restrained. But if you take some delicious coaxing, you can still say two sentences. Yun Yuhong concluded that this child could still be saved, but it would take a little effort.

In the following days, Yun Yuhong asked Qianzong to make a decree, so that all the ministers above the second grade, children about ten years old entered the palace to choose companions for the four princes, and this companion reading is not only the prince's playmate, but also the prince's cronies in the future. The ministers were active again at once, and many women who had orders went to the palace to ask for a few noble concubines to have a relationship.

On the day of the election, in addition to Yun Yuhong and the four princes, Qianzong and the four concubines, as well as the parents of the children to be chosen, all came, and everyone argued around the question of candidates, and finally everyone unanimously decided that since they were the playmates of the four princes, of course, the four princes would choose by themselves. However, the four princes began to fight between heaven and man in their hearts.

For the candidates, their mothers and concubines have all been arranged, and they have also explained before they came, except for the four princes, they are all their cousins or cousins. And even if the Liu family of the four princes fell, there were still some people who held on to it, such as Concubine De, who threw an olive branch and strongly recommended the son of the general under the seat of Marquis Jingwu to their mother and son. But the smart princes still asked Yun Yuhong's opinion, and Yun Yuhong also gave the person she thought was suitable, Bai Ziren of the Yasukuni Hou family was a must, and then it was a concubine of Yu Shangshu's family, I heard that he was born to a concubine, and he was very unfavored, called Yu Zhiqiang, who is nine years old this year, but he still can't read big characters. There is also the youngest son of the Ji family of the Ministry of War, named Ji Hongsi, who is ten years old this year, but although he is the eldest son, he has no biological mother since he was a child, and after his stepmother gave birth to a son at home, the situation is very embarrassing. In the end, it is even more unimaginable that the son of Lord Hong of Dali Temple is redundant, this child is now nine years old, but he was born in the outer room, although he was called the third son in the Hong family, but in fact he is no different from the servant, serving the two brothers in the family every day, and being beaten and scolded is a common thing.

After listening to Yun Yuhong's candidates, the four princes made difficulties, except for Bai Ziren, the gap between these candidates and the requirements of the mother concubine is too big, and the mother's life is difficult, but the imperial sister's order seems to be even more difficult. The eldest prince asked Yun Yuhong with a bitter face: "Sister Huang, why are these people, the companions are usually not relatives, but also the sons of the minister's family, and they are not those with outstanding knowledge, these people can't choose to start." ”

Yun Yuhong smiled and said, "But you love to play with them, don't you?" ”

The eldest prince stopped talking, and said in his heart: I haven't seen it, how can we play together.

The third prince still couldn't help but ask: "Then if... I mean, what if you don't end up with these guys? ”

"It's just a few kids, I can't handle it, can I?" Yun Yuhong said it calmly, but the princes were cold behind their backs and didn't dare to ask again.

The four princes then discussed for a long time and finally set a goal, but when it came to the end, they all flinched a little. On one side is the mother concubine, on the other side is the imperial sister, they don't want to offend, but they can't do both, they blame each other for a while, or the four princes stood up first, he pointed at Bai Ziren and said: "I heard that Brother Ziren has a gentle temperament, I choose Brother Ziren." "There's no cousin or anything here, so there's not so much pressure on the four princes to choose. After choosing, he secretly glanced at the imperial sister, and saw that the imperial sister nodded with satisfaction, and the fourth prince's heart fell to the ground, as for the expression of the concubine, he didn't dare to look at it, so he could only coax more after going back.

The second prince then also stood up, "I choose Yu Zhiqiang." ”

Yu Shangshu didn't hear clearly, and asked, "Is the second prince talking about Zhiqiang?" Is it wrong? ”

The second prince affirmed: "That's right, it's Zhiqiang." ”

Yu Shangshu was dissatisfied: "He is a concubine and cannot be elected." ”

The second prince said: "What's wrong with the concubine, I am also a concubine." ”

"How can this be the same, you are the prince." Yu Shangshu said angrily.

Yun Yuhong smiled: "Since you know that he is the prince, then his decision is not something you can question." ”

Yu Shangshu knew that he was a little out of shape, so he had to keep silent, but fortunately, he was also his son, so he just went back to teach.

The eldest prince stood up and shouted, "I am Ji Hongsi, the scholar of the military selection department." Don't ask me why, I either don't want it or it's him. ”

Everyone was stunned, although this is not favored, but the eldest son, it is normal to be chosen, what is the madness of the eldest prince.

Those who know the inside story see that the three princes are not the people who are determined, and this selection is so strange that there is no law, and they can't figure it out for a while. Concubine Hui was also worried in her heart, and looked at the third prince and kept winking.

The third prince was so anxious that he didn't dare to look at Concubine Hui, so he hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "I choose Lord Hong's son Hong to be redundant." ”

Concubine Hui hurriedly said: "Emperor, are you mistaken, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to choose your eldest cousin?" ”

The third prince turned around and grinned: "I want to find someone to serve me, but I am embarrassed to instruct the eldest cousin, it is better to be superfluous, he has experience in serving people." ”

Zhou University's morale turned blue, and many people laughed secretly, but this matter was said to let the princes choose for themselves, and it was difficult for others to say anything, so it could only be decided like this.

Under Yun Yuhong's arrangement, the eight children began to practice martial arts every day, and Yun Yuhong began to audit the accounts of the household department. She selected ten old account offices and began to check the accounts of the household department within five years. Yu Shangshu was very calm, he was naturally not afraid that he had not cheated on the account, Yun Yuhong was sure that he would not find anything, but he just wanted to respond to Yu Shangshu, she handed over the clerical affairs to Mr. Ning, and she spent most of her time paying attention to the progress of things on Bai Ziyu's side. Bai Ziyu sent several letters on time, saying that everything was going well, and the victims had been pacified by him, and they all came back to rebuild their homes one after another. He organized some people to rebuild the embankment, so they had to come back later. There is also the fact that he thinks about her every day, and he is not taken away by the vixen, please rest assured. Yun Yuhong replied with a smile: "Don't be afraid to take it away, I learned spells from the Taoist and collected fox spirits." Although the two were separated, they exchanged letters, but they said things that they were embarrassed to say on weekdays, but they were a little sweeter.

It also rained in Beijing, and it rained for three days in a row, Yun Yuhong had not received a reply for three days, and she couldn't help but worry, especially in the last two days, her eyes have been jumping, so that Yun Yuhong always has a bad premonition, but she can only continue to comfort herself in her heart, it may just be that the rain delayed the trip, and the letter was slow for two days. But as soon as he settled down, the clever ghost ran in in a panic, crying and saying to Yun Yuhong: "The master is not good, Bai Gongzi and the stingy ghost were swept away by the flood and disappeared." ”
