The Queen Mother's thank you banquet yesterday, Song Jinyan did not participate. It's just that the truth of Lan Ming's true pattern beads has spread all over the harem. Song Jinyan listened, just smiled faintly, noncommittal.

Su Peiyuan stood aside with his hands down: "Your Majesty, the phoenix life implied by the Lan Ming True Pattern Bead ......"

Song Jinyan played with the objects in his hand and said lightly: "The phoenix life and the dragon's life are just a disguise, the queen still wants to protect her reputation in the end." ”

Su Peiyuan nodded, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he didn't expect everything to be seen in the emperor's eyes, no wonder when Lan Ming's true pattern beads measured that Concubine Lan was the phoenix's fate, the emperor had no waves, paused, Su Peiyuan said again: "Your Majesty, Bai Gongzi has been waiting outside for a long time, do you see if it's ......?"

Song Jinyan showed a playful smile, he had just ordered Bai Zhisong at the banquet, and the son of the Bai family rushed to his own place, calculating the time, it was almost over, and nodded to Su Peiyuan: "You let him in." ”

Today's Bai Tingran is obviously carefully dressed, his hair is tightly tied in a purple and gold crown, and he is dressed in a crescent-white robe lined with a polite and extraordinary bearing.

"The grass people see the emperor-" Seeing Song Jinyan, Bai Tingran took the lead in kneeling.

Song Jinyan nodded: "Get up." I have heard the name of Bai Gongzi for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary. ”

Bai Tingran's face turned pale, and he lowered his head a little embarrassedly, and said, "The emperor praised it falsely." The grass people were terrified. ”

"Bai Gongzi came here today, but he has something to say?" Song Jinyan narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

Bai Tingran's eyes lit up, nodded, and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people really have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. I came here today, just because Tingran had one thing to do, and I hope that the emperor will fulfill it. ”

"What?"

"Tingran wants to go to Yanzhou and work with Brother Yuanzhou to rectify the officialdom chaos in Yanzhou." Bai Tingran raised his head and looked at Song Jinyan with a firm look.

A slight hint of surprise flashed in Song Jinyan's eyes, and then he sneered: "Bai Gongzi is a Bai Ding, and he has never entered the officialdom, so he dares to talk about governance." What's more, Bai Gongzi knows what the situation in Yanzhou is now, so he dares to boast about Haikou like this? Song Jinyan's tone was not good, and the meaning of inquiry in his tone was self-evident.

Feeling Song Jinyan's suspicion, Bai Tingran only felt a tightness in his heart, and felt a slight chill in his back, he exhaled deeply, calmed his mind, and his eyes became more and more firm: "Back to the emperor, what the emperor said is not inappropriate, the grass people do not have an official position, and they are not familiar with officialdom, but the grass people and Sui Yuanzhou Sui have always had contacts on weekdays, and Lord Sui told me a lot of things about Yanzhou officialdom, and now he is alone in Yanzhou, and many things are powerless, so Tingran took the initiative to petition, hoping to go to Yanzhou and do his best." ”

The scholars of the Hanlin Academy have always paid too much attention to the ideas of words, but they lack sufficient ability in the real practice of governance, and many of them are not familiar with the past, so there are few people in the Hanlin Academy. It's just that this Bai Tingran is different, and the first thing he said when he came up was to pick the hardest bone to gnaw.

Song Jinyan raised his head, looked at Bai Tingran with a smile and said, "Bai Gongzi really thinks so?" ”

Bai Tingran nodded, his eyes full of firm and confident looks.

Song Jinyan nodded: "I know, let me think about this matter again." Go down. ”

Meeting the saint is a big deal, and within a few days, everyone inside and outside the palace knew about Bai Tingran's meeting with the saint.

Changle Palace was the first to know about this, and the mandarin duck helped Kou Shu carefully remove today's hair bun, picked up the grate and stood with hibiscus osmanthus oil, slowly grate his hair, and said softly: "Niangniang, did you say that the emperor would send Bai Gongzi to Yanzhou?" ”

Ripples lit two stoves on the side, and when she heard Mandarin Duck's words, she said: "Our mother is like a god, since Niangniang asked Bai Gongzi to go to Yanzhou to help Lord Sui, Bai Gongzi will definitely go." ”

Hearing this, the mandarin duck frowned and did not speak.

Kou Shu smiled faintly and closed her eyes slightly: "The power of the Bai family has not been as strong as before in recent years, on the one hand, it has a great relationship with Bai Li's death, and secondly, I guess that it is because of the current division between the DPRK and China, the political situation is turbulent, and the Bai family retreats bravely and protects his life." ”

"Then ...... now" Mandarin Duck was puzzled.

"The so-called secession, the most important thing is to see which camp you want to stand in, but which camp is just a mutual check and balance, painstaking management, now the emperor has thrown out the willow branches, standing in the royal camp, it is naturally the safest way, of course the Bai family is willing to hold on tightly." Kou Shu paused and continued: "As for Bai Tingran himself, I have heard from my senior brother, although this person has a big personality, but like his senior brother, it is rare to have a heart full of heart for the country and the people, since the emperor is willing to use his senior brother, why is he not willing to use him?" ”

The mandarin duck nodded, and wanted to say something, Yuan Yun pushed the door in, stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, there is a bag outside the door." ”

"Tips?" Kou Shu frowned: "Yuan Yun, you open it and take a look." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Yun untied the drawstring on the brocade bag, revealing a jade pendant inside.

When Kou Shu saw the jade pendant, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she looked at the jade pendant carefully for a moment, and suddenly her face changed to an extremely frightened look, and she stood up suddenly.

The Kou family has a family practice, each Kou family will ask skilled craftsmen to create a heart protection jade, and then send its jade to the Wangu Temple to open the light, and persuade Bai Yao that day, relying on his own unique Kou family heart protection jade, and the inside is the word "Xuan" on it - this is Lan Ruoxuan's heart protection jade.

Kou Shu couldn't help but shudder, she remembered very clearly, as early as three years ago, Lan Ruoxuan had told herself that the heart protection jade had been accidentally lost by her a long time ago, how could this jade appear again now, or in the palace?

A few dark flashes flashed in Kou Shu's eyes one after another, and she lightly compared a code, and then called Yuan Ming into the room: "Yuan Ming, did you see it just now, who put this bag at the gate of the palace?" ”

Yuan Ming bowed his head: "Niangniang, Yuan Ming has been guarding outside the dormitory and has not found anything abnormal. ”

Kou Shu frowned: "Yuan Ming, if you use your skills, can you sneak from outside the palace to the gate of Changle Palace without being detected?" ”

Yuan Ming tilted his head, thought for a while, and said, "If it was the original, it would not be difficult." It's just that now since Bai Yao has become the deputy general of the Royal Forest Army, the defense in the palace is much stricter, and now it is not as easy as before, so I can only try my best. ”

Kou Shu nodded, looked at the jade pendant in her hand in a daze, seemed to be thinking about something, and did not speak again.
