Chapter 471 This father-in-law is so handsome
The prefect raised his head and gulped down the cold tea, his Adam's apple rolling violently: "Thank God, these evil stars are now gone! That incident back then..."
He suddenly lowered his voice. Outside, the wind blew through the window lattices, and the candlelight flickered. Several guests instinctively moved closer and said, "Overnight, the gates of dozens of important officials' residences were completely surrounded by the imperial guards.
As soon as Prime Minister Liu's sedan chair was carried out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was locked with iron chains.
Anyway, you must not mess with any of these evil stars, you must remember this."
Master Bai returned home and looked at Liu Quanzhou and said, "I'm afraid that tomorrow morning, the emperor will get the news and summon me to the palace."
Liu Quanzhou stroked his graying beard, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. He stared at Baiyin and said in a deep voice, "Do you really want to go to the palace alone to see the emperor? Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. Every step is filled with calculations."
Baiyin sighed, startling the crows beneath the eaves. "This is the only way we can go. Without His Majesty's support, our ambitions will be in vain."
He raised his hand and patted Liu Quanzhou's shoulder: "I will go into the palace to test the situation first. If His Majesty still remembers our old friendship, we can make a long-term plan."
Liu Quanzhou nodded slightly, his eyes filled with reminiscence:
"So many years have passed, and back then, His Majesty was furious and banished us all.
Now he must have understood that he had wrongly believed the treacherous words of Su Zhen..."
"What's the rush? Are you afraid of a clown who climbed to the top by flattering others?"
A burning fighting spirit ignited in his eyes:
"I will go to the palace tomorrow and see how long Su Zheng can continue to be so rampant!
What's more, we now have Gu Sinian, so we have to proceed with caution."
Liu Quanzhou looked at him and said, "You mean..."
“Gu Sinian is Qi Guangheng’s biological son after all, and he looks so much like him.
If His Majesty knew of his existence, he would definitely treat him differently, not to mention that this child is extremely talented. Bai Yin said calmly, "If he could become emperor, it would be the best thing for us."
Liu Quanzhou nodded and said, "I've been talking to my former students these past few days. I don't know how they're doing now."
"Um……"
As the morning light climbed up the green tiles, a shrill voice came from outside the door: "The imperial edict has arrived—"
He paused slightly, then walked out slowly. When the imperial edict with gilded cloud patterns unfolded, the fine golden threads shone so brightly in the sunlight that it was impossible to open one's eyes.
The eunuch who announced the decree finished reading it in a shrill voice, then suddenly dropped his official tone, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Master Bai, how are you?"
Bai Yin bowed and saluted: "Eunuch Sun is still as elegant as ever."
"No, no, I didn't expect you to buy Prime Minister Liu's house." Eunuch Sun smiled slightly.
Baiyin smiled and said, "Let's talk inside."
Eunuch Sun sat down on the sandalwood armchair with great dignity, his eyes sweeping over the mottled beams in the room. He smiled and said, "You've worked hard these years."
Baiyin pushed the celadon teacup across the table, the tea ripples in the cup. "How is your Majesty?"
"Very healthy!" Eunuch Sun raised his orchid finger and said:
"But I always like to stare at the portrait of the old minister in the imperial study, muttering to myself how reckless I was back then."
He suddenly lowered his voice, a meaningful smile on his face: "Yesterday, I even smashed the jade ornament that Lord Su gave me."
Baiyin's Adam's apple moved slightly: "In that case, I will change my clothes and follow the eunuch into the palace."
Madam Bai walked out slowly, arm in arm with Zhao Qiaoniang. The jade ring in Eunuch Sun's hand dropped to the ground with a clang. He bowed and said, "Miss Wan'er!"
Madam Bai smiled softly and said:
"It's been many years since we last met. Eunuch Sun is now a very popular figure in front of His Majesty.
I'm almost fifty, and you still call me a girl!"
Before he finished speaking, Eunuch Sun fell to his knees and said, "Sister, you have saved my life! That year, the plague swept through the brothel. If you hadn't hidden the herbs..."
Mrs. Bai hurriedly supported him:
"Hurry up and get up! You're already half buried in the earth, and you're still as reckless as you were in your youth?
You are a favorite of His Majesty now, how can you let others see you?"
Eunuch Sun stood up, wiping his tears, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Lin Wanwan hiding behind Madam Bai.
The little girl had two buns on her head and looked at him curiously with her almond-shaped eyes. She said crisply, "This eunuch is so handsome..."
"Don't be rude!" Madam Bai feigned anger and scolded, but there was a smile in her eyes: "This is Eunuch Sun, quickly call someone."
Eunuch Sun immediately put on a kind smile and pulled out a small gilded box from his sleeve, which contained candied fruit.
"Good boy, call me Grandpa Sun.
You have inherited your grandmother's good looks, and you will definitely be a stunning little beauty in the future."
Madam Bai looked at him and said, "This is my adopted daughter. Yunchuan has suffered a serious epidemic this time. If it weren't for my daughter, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive."
Eunuch Sun frowned and asked, "No news yet from the young lady?"
Madam Bai shook her head and said, "It's alright if there's no news. Anyway, we've looked for everything we need to over the years."
"Hey! The situation in the palace is complicated now. Queen Ye is in a difficult situation, and Concubine Su is in charge of the Phoenix Seal. You have to be careful. She has become more and more powerful over the years." Eunuch Sun whispered.
Madam Bai nodded, and Eunuch Sun continued, "Your Majesty's thoughts are extremely difficult to guess, but calling Bai Yin into the palace this time is not a bad thing."
When Prime Minister Liu came out with a dozen people, Eunuch Sun was stunned: "You...why are you here?"
Prime Minister Liu smiled and said, "Isn't this Eunuch Sun?"
Eunuch Sun quickly said, "Hello, everyone!"
Liu Xiang sighed and said, "What's good about that? We just came to see you."
Eunuch Sun coughed and said, "I think you want to know what's going on in the palace?"
"Yes, what is the situation in the palace now?" asked Prime Minister Liu.
"I am not a talkative person. People who talk too much in the palace will have a miserable end. I am leaving now. My lords, please say goodbye!" Eunuch Sun rushed to the palace with the silver.
The family was restless for a while. Madam Bai looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and said, "Don't be so absent-minded. You barely ate dinner. Your father will be fine. You came to the palace just to reminisce about the past."
Late in the night, Master Bai finally returned, exhausted. Seeing Lin Wanwan and Zhao Qiaoniang still awake, he asked, "What happened to you? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Madam Bai smiled and said, "Aren't they both worried about you?"
Master Bai stroked his beard and said, "It's nothing serious. His Majesty has reinstated me."
Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Really? Then do you agree?"
Master Bai looked at Lin Wanwan and said, "Of course I have to agree. Otherwise, how can I protect our daughter and our granddaughter? I also recommended Prime Minister Liu to him..."
"what?"
Master Bai said with a half-smile:
"Qi Tianheng has changed a lot in the past few years. He is actually not very satisfied with the princes.
So let Liu Quanzhou go back to be the Grand Tutor and take good care of the princes."
The Taifu was responsible for imparting Confucian classics, moral norms, and knowledge of state governance to the crown prince, cultivating his moral character and talents so that he would have the qualities to become a qualified monarch.
