Gu Chengyu was planning in his heart, and he didn't slow down. Ren Ge didn't take him back to the office, but went directly to Master Zhang.

"Xiaguan Gu Chengyu meets Master Zhang!" Gu Chengyu entered the room and saluted Zhang Hai.

"Hmmm! This is the emperor's father-in-law, and the emperor wants to summon you! Zhang Hai looked at the young man in front of him and said in a kind tone.

Recently, he tested Gu Chengyu and found that this son was not as arrogant as he imagined. Originally, he also planned to wait for the books of Wenhua Pavilion to be sorted out, and then let the senior officials of the Hanlin Academy ask him to do things, who thought that the emperor was more anxious than him.

"Father-in-law!" Gu Chengyu arched his hand towards the waiter Xiao Quanzi, and Xiao Quanzi also bowed to Gu Chengyu.

Xiao Quanzi was wearing a sixth-grade eunuch suit, which was one level higher than Gu Chengyu's rank. But the chamberlain has no real power after all, although Xiao Quanzi is a sixth grade, but in the face of these officials, he is naturally a head shorter.

In the previous dynasty, there were long regulations that eunuchs were not allowed to participate in politics, so the status of the internal servants of this dynasty was not too high.

Zhang Hai noticed that Gu Chengyu only arched his hand to his father-in-law, and felt a little satisfied in his heart. What if these eunuchs are even six grades? Isn't it as good as their court officials?

Some officials saw the favored chamberlain beside the emperor, and the appearance of smoky eyes and flattery made people unhappy to look at it. Like Gu Chengyu, he didn't despise it, and he didn't flatter it too much, such an attitude made Zhang Hai think a little higher about Gu Chengyu.

Xiao Quanzi led Gu Chengyu out of the Hanlin Courtyard and walked towards the imperial study behind Jingyang Palace.

"Father-in-law, I don't know what happened when the emperor summoned me?" Gu Chengyu looked at Xiao Quanzi, who had taken a few wrong steps and led him the way, and asked closer.

Xiao Quanzi had already looked at Gu Chengyu, and the emperor valued this champion a little much, and said that he was a talented person. Manager Chen has been guarding against him recently, and he can't get close to the emperor, so he has received a job as a small chamberlain, so he will be able to meet this Gu Chengyu.

On that day, the second prince recommended Gu Chengyu in front of the emperor, and he also heard it. The emperor's attitude towards Gu Chengyu is also very unusual, and he can also have some relationship with this upstart who is about to rise.

Gu Chengyu saw that there was no one next to him, so he took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from his sleeve and secretly stuffed it into Xiao Quanzi's hand.

Xiao Quanzi didn't expect Gu Chengyu to be so good, he received Gu Chengyu's silver ticket into his sleeve without changing his face, and all this was done naturally and quickly.

Gu Chengyu knew that these servants who had some status in the palace would never be soft on receiving benefits. Looking at this father-in-law, I am afraid that he often receives benefits.

Xiao Quanzi glanced at it just now and saw that it was a silver ticket of fifty taels. He secretly thought in his heart, Master Gu is quite generous. Although he wanted to befriend this young Lord Gu, if he didn't collect cash tickets, it was estimated that this Lord Gu still thought that he didn't want to make friends with him, so Xiao Quanzi didn't refuse, just thinking about mentioning more in the future.

"Lord Gu, don't worry, the emperor heard that Lord Gu was quick to think and created a poetic style, so he summoned your lordship."

The emperor heard that His Royal Highness King Jing had recently been thinking about tea and dinner for the word card, and he devoted himself to studying the word card. Only then did I wonder who made this word card and what kind of word card it was. When he heard that Gu Chengyu had done it, he became interested and summoned Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu suddenly realized that it was caused by the word card. After the last Tianxiang Pavilion's literary meeting, he made a word card and asked all the students to follow suit, and Mr. Higashihara also gave him an invitation to the literary meeting.

It's a pity that there were still three days to hold the palace exam, and his mind was on the temple exam, so he missed the literary meeting held by the great Confucians.

"I see, thank you for the announcement." Gu Chengyu smiled at Xiao Quanzi, but in his heart he was guessing Xiao Quanzi's status by the emperor's side.

can be the deputy commander, but he is not an incapable person, and he should also be reused by the emperor. How did you come out and do this kind of errands? Gu Chengyu would not think that his face was so big, so he asked the emperor to personally send a six-grade chamberlain to summon him.

"Master Gu is polite, just call our little family." Since Xiao Quanzi plans to befriend Gu Chengyu, of course he wants to get closer to Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu glanced at him in surprise, and then waved his hand and said, "This can't be helped, let's call Father-in-law!" ”

Just kidding, he is not the emperor, nor is he the peak of the father-in-law, how can he be called Xiao Quanzi? People are polite, if he really screams, then he doesn't know what to do.

After walking for about half an hour, Gu Chengyu walked to the back of Jingyang Palace. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the palace is so big, if he goes back and forth between the Hanlin Courtyard and the Imperial Study several times a day, wouldn't he spend all his time on the road?

Xiao Quanzi asked Gu Chengyu to wait outside the imperial study, while he went in to report. De'an was grinding ink for the emperor, and when he saw Xiao Quanzi coming in, his eyelids lifted, and he continued to look at the movements in his hands.

Gu Chengyu saw that there was still a chamberlain standing outside the imperial study, and judging by what he was wearing, it should be lower than the grade of the father-in-law just now.

"Your Majesty! Master Gu is here! Xiao Quanzi bowed his head respectfully and reported to the emperor.

"Pass him in!" The emperor looked at the big characters in his hand, and his eyebrows furrowed. Perhaps because of the busy government affairs now, his words have regressed a little compared to before.

Hearing Xiao Quanzi say that Gu Chengyu was here, he remembered the word card. The fourth child has recently become obsessed with that word card, and he has devoted himself to exploring knowledge every day, and he is almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

He didn't know how to get along with this frail and sickly son. Leaving him in the capital is also to let the imperial doctor think of a way for him to remove the residual poison from his body as soon as possible, so that he can live longer!

After all, it is his own son, when his mother gave birth to him, the fourth child's health is not good, he has to rely on medicinal materials every year, and he can't bear to worry about other things, it is important to take care of his body.

That stubborn and lovable woman, if she hadn't asked for it before she died, he wouldn't have been so cruel to the fourth child.

The emperor sighed, in the end, the love is deep and shallow, and the past is like smoke, passing away with the wind. Decades passed in a flash, and he was old, really old.

Xiao Quanzi took the order to go out and invited Gu Chengyu.

De'an has been with the emperor for so many years, and he always knows a little about the emperor's temperament. On weekdays, he saw that the emperor ignored King Jing, but he knew that the Internal Affairs Office allocated countless silver taels and precious medicinal materials to King Jing's Mansion every year.

Recently, the eldest prince said that Prince Jing forgot to sleep and eat for the sake of that poem, and the emperor was afraid that he felt a little sorry for King Jing. asked Lord Gu to come over, most likely because he wanted Lord Gu to write two poems so that they could be sent to King Jing's Mansion.

It's a pity that the emperor's intentions, King Jing has no way of knowing, I'm afraid he has always thought that he is an unfavored prince!
