The palace is very busy, but he is still a big idler.

In the past few days, he was wandering around the territory of the capital, and when he was listening to music in the teahouse, he unexpectedly heard two gossips in the streets and alleys: first, a female editor came to Yongle Palace, it is said that Jinyi Wei was born, naturally beautiful, and stunning and captivating; On the other hand, the emperor, who has never been interested in men and women, actually opened up.

So much so that today, which big official in the court has been hit by the emperor's board, and who the emperor has used word games to trap, this kind of trivial matter has long been completely ignored.

Although the fox is not nosy, it is related to the snow river, so it is better to take a look. Knowing that she was greedy, she deliberately picked out all kinds of fresh snacks that girls like and brought them into the palace to visit her.

He changed into the clothes of the brocade guards as usual and came to the Yongle Palace. Qin Bai still worked overtime to review the manuscript and write Zhu criticism, but on the surface it was no different from usual; In the compartment of the west side hall, Xue He set up an independent office room, and made a table of manuscripts in a fake way, and he didn't know what he was doing.

It's okay to be a demon alone, why is there a trend of two people teaming up to make a big move right now?

In addition, the editor-in-chief, Mr. Xie, didn't know if he had recovered from his injury, or if he found that working from home was not as convenient as working in the palace, he took the initiative to cancel his leave and went to work with his injury. Then he soon heard that there was a female editor in the West Side Palace, although Xue He lived in a simple place and did not meet with them, but everyone's face was iron and blue, and they only did what they were doing in a muffled voice, as if there was a tiger living in the west.

Only Qin Bai, who is high up, has a fascinated smile on his face, and his whole body exudes the sour smell of love.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was strange.

"It's rare to see you so concerned about something."

With a smile, he unfolded the paper bag he had brought and placed it on the corner of the table. The sweet smell wafted out, but Xue He was busy, his attention was all on the table full of manuscripts, and he didn't even raise his eyelids in the face of the temptation of food.

Just when she thought that she must be possessed by some monster, she reached out and groped into the paper bag, without looking, pinched a glutinous rice dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth, but her eyes never left the manuscript.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Are you here to be a coolie who doesn't want money?" I can't say a few words all day long, and everyone is busy with their own things, is it interesting? ”

"Just avoid suspicion, there are still a lot of gossip outside."

Xue He chewed in his mouth and said absentmindedly: "You said that you sent delicious food so intimately, why don't you feed me directly?" ”

"I'll feed you a poop! Get used to your stinky fault! ”

Snow River sighed mournfully.

He smiled and said, "Why don't you just move to the harem?" If you don't mix with these nerds in the previous dynasty, of course you have to attract gossip. ”

"That's not going to work."

Xue He raised his head with a puzzled expression: "Fourth brother, you said, he hasn't run here a few times all day and night, and it's all eunuchs running errands to and fro to send things, how can these people outside see that we are getting along?" I think we're both quite restrained! ”

Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing, and he couldn't even straighten his waist when he leaned back and forth. - Not to mention the Imperial Palace, even the streets and alleys outside are all over the city! The person concerned is actually ignorant and unaware?

Xue He said angrily: "Is it so funny?!" ”

"I said you, usually such a smart person, why don't you even understand this?"

He laughed for a long time before he stopped slightly: "Look at the way he looks at you, it's all hooked!" Don't you feel it? …… Since you came, don't look at him on the surface is still the same as before, in fact, the whole aura has changed! Those people in the Yongle Palace, how can any of them be stupid, who can't see it? The atmosphere is about to be embarrassing out of the sky, but you can't see it? ”

Xue He was suddenly a little frustrated: "But I'm really here to repair books." ”

"Of course I do! You don't lose to any of them in terms of talent, but just because you are a woman, no matter how talented you are, it is the same in their eyes: a woman who pleases the king, the greatest value is to produce children for the royal family, and nothing else is worth mentioning. ”

I don't like to hear it.

Xue He looked unhappy, threw away the pen, and got angry.

"Am I wrong? If a mortal woman wants to accomplish something, the resistance brought by the world's vision is always far more than the thing itself. ”

Seeing her like this, she couldn't help but sigh: "Why are you bothering to come here? The book that Qin Bai wants to repair contains more than 1,000 ancient books alone, even if you help him personally, how much can you help? He still lacks you, can't he fix it? provoked a body of right and wrong, listened to people's gossip in vain and sulked himself. ”

"Did I help or help go wrong? Do these men in the mortal world really learn to work well with women? ”

"This requirement is indeed a bit high."

She smiled bitterly, I am afraid that the status of mortal women will not be clear half of the time, so I can only coax her kindly:

"You can't demand mortals from the standards of heaven! Especially the emperor who is so difficult to serve Qin Bai, he looks at them every day and is unpleasant, and he always slaps them in his heart, but he looks at you differently; And look at you, so beautiful and talented! Naturally, they're all jealous. ”

Xue He listened to it and nodded, and said, "However, I asked Qin Bai to tell Yu Miaojin about the establishment of the academy, but he refused to go; Today, the editor-in-chief came, and he didn't even let me out of the door, saying that he was afraid that it would be inconvenient to bump into him, and something would happen again. ”

"He's for your good, really."

"It's not a long-term solution for you to stay here. It is estimated that it will not last for a few days, and he will be invited to the harem. Even if Qin Bai has the heart to protect you, the editor-in-chief will not agree. He must be trying to find fault with you right now so that he can get you out. ”

"You're right, I can't just bury my head in the work."

mentioned the editor-in-chief who had just been on the board, Xuehe rolled his eyes and had a plan.

"But if you come once, you can't be called in vain." Xue He suddenly changed his grinning expression: "Come and copy a few pages of the manuscript for me." ”

"I was kind enough to send me food, but you want to pull me into the water?"

He immediately waved his hand: "This is not my business!" You don't want me to be a cow and a horse for him! I don't have that relationship with him yet. ”

"It's not to help him, it's to help me!"

Xue He smiled mysteriously, and then flattered: "Fourth brother, you have the best literary talent!" Who doesn't know the stunts of walking around the monument and passing away! …… Just do me a little favor! It's not to lie to you to work, just write me a few pages, it's useful! ”

As she spoke, she took out a few pieces of paper from her desk, respectfully handed them to him, and polished them for him very diligently.

"What are you doing?"

She couldn't resist her, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and when she didn't see many words, she copied a copy of the manuscript she pointed to:

"Just this one! Let's not take this as an example. ”

"Okay, okay! Fourth brother is the best! ”

In order to coax him to do some work, Xue He flattered him in every possible way, and only then did he get a few pages of manuscripts. He happily took it in his hand and read it several times, replaced the same content that he had just copied, and then sandwiched it in all the completed manuscripts, and handed it to the little eunuch at the door, and sent it to the editor-in-chief for review.

"What are you doing here?"

The fox is a little incomprehensible.

The fonts of the two are very different, the calligraphy is handsome and free but rebellious, and the small characters of Xuehe are delicate and neat, serious and rigorous, and anyone can distinguish them at a glance.

"You just have to wait and see the show."

Xue He smiled like a fox, standing by the door and quietly watching the movement in the hall. The editor-in-chief's desk was piled up with a thick stack, and when he saw the stack that had just been sent, he decided to review it first, and subconsciously glanced at it.

Xue He took in these small movements, leaned against the door and looked at them coldly, and asked, "What do you think of this manuscript that I just organized?" ”

He was looking at the broken rubbings on the table and said, "I read this book of poems before. Your manuscript has corrected several errors that have been circulated in the market, and the annotations are decent and acceptable. ”

Xue He said with a smile: "I can hear the word 'Shang Ke' from the mouth of the fourth brother, and I am very satisfied." ”

He is not modest: "I often say that there has been no poetry since the Tang and Song dynasties. If this "Yongle Canon" can be successfully cultivated and enlighten future generations, it will really be a very meritorious thing. ”

While she was talking, a little eunuch hurriedly ran over with a manuscript in both hands and handed it to her.

He asked, "Knocked back?" ”

"Hmm. It's pretty much the same as expected. ”

Xue He's appearance was not annoyed, but picked out a few pages with batches of red and put them on the table one by one. Curious for a moment, he also came up to take a look:

"This old thing is really going to find fault."

"You see, you didn't pick out a mistake in writing these pages." Xue He sighed: "I know! It's not right for people, phew. ”

He sighed and said, "This is the way of the world. ”

"That's why I said that if you want women to participate, you have to have another academy and another editor-in-chief to compete with it. Then the two editors exchange reviews and proofreads, which not only ensures the quality, but also doubles the result with half the effort. ”

"It makes sense, but how?"

You're getting to the hard part.

Xue He sighed a little helplessly - this is not clear, only the queen can do it, and the matter is stuck here.

At this time, seeing Qin Bai push the door in, he immediately turned around and closed the door, but there was a cheap smile on his always dull face, and his expression was very inconsistent with the appearance of age and serious dragon robe:

"It's dinner time, I'll take the time to see you. …… Yo, the fourth brother is also there? ”

"I'm here to deliver pig feed."

He replied casually. Completely ignoring Xue He's eyes, he pointed to the manuscript on the table: "By the way, I humiliated myself." ”

"What, was your manuscript rejected?"

Qin Bai smiled, stepped forward and flipped through a few pages: "Normal, that old thing even dares to refute the manuscript I approved." So I'm telling you, I've put up with him for a long time, actually. ”

"In my opinion, twenty boards are still too light."
