My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

Ye Shengxin was a man who listened to advice. He gave the yamen runners and jailers double overtime pay and asked them to take turns guarding the prison gate for a few days.

Ye Shengxin also cleaned up a small house for himself and stayed in Jingzhao Prefecture that night.

The first night passed uneventfully. The next day, Ye Shengxin was buying some pancakes on his way to court.

I heard people on one side talking about the national teacher.

She stopped and listened for a while.

"I heard that the ghost of the wife of the Marquis of Pingqing Mansion was able to come back because it was summoned back by the Imperial Master. That's an incredible ability."

"I wonder if the Imperial Master can bless our Great Zhou with good weather and good harvests."

"Of course. I heard that the Imperial Master can go up to the sky and hide underground. If there is trouble in any place, the Emperor will definitely ask the Imperial Master for help."

"Can the old Imperial Master listen to the demands of common people like us? I want to see my mother-in-law."

"Your mother-in-law has been dead for seven or eight years. She was not kind to you when she was alive. Why do you want to see her?"

"My mother-in-law hid dozens of taels of silver before she died. She was going to give it to my son before she passed away, but she left before she could finish her words."

"I have been looking for that silver for seven or eight years, but I don't know where she hid it. It worries me to death. Without the silver, I may not be able to prepare for the wedding banquet for my eldest son in half a month."

As he spoke, the man clasped his hands together and bowed in the direction of the imperial palace.

"Master Imperial Master, please bless me to see my mother-in-law again."

Ye Shengxin moved aside while biting the pancake, fearing that he would block the woman's request.

Before getting on the bus, she muttered to the system: [It seems that the people here are accepting of the return of the Marquis’ wife.]

[That's good too. At least it won't cause any trouble for Lord Rong.]

The system nodded and asked again: [Host, do you think the woman's worship of the national teacher was effective? The national teacher couldn't hear it either.]

Ye Shengxin shuddered when he thought of the Marquis's spooky appearance.

[That lady has never seen the horror of ghosts. If she sees them, she will know that mental health is much more important than money.]

The carriage soon stopped in front of the palace, and Ye Shengxin got off the carriage with the remaining piece of cake.

I saw the old tutor standing at the palace gate, looking like he was waiting for someone.

When the old man saw her, his eyes lit up, and he walked over in two or three steps, asking stealthily:

"Does Lord Ye still have the book 'Two or Three Things of a Minister'?"

"How did the Master know that I had that book?" Ye Shengxin was terrified.

The old tutor's secrets are recorded here. Has her reading been discovered?

Ye Shengxin was worried.

The old master smiled kindly, "Don't worry, Lord Ye. I have this book too. I just don't know if Lord Ye has finished reading the first volume?"

"No, that book..." After being reminded, Ye Shengxin turned back to the carriage and took out the book.

The last time she was angered by the incident involving Marquis Wen Xin, she had forgotten all about this book.

Take it out now, and it will help you relieve your boredom when you go to court later.

The old tutor stared at the book with a wider smile on his face. He glanced around quietly and saw that no one was paying attention.

He took out a book called "Four or Five Things a Minister Should Do" from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Xingxin.

"This is my treasured collection. Lord Ye, please keep it well. You can take a look at it when you are bored in court."

Ye Shengxin took it and looked at the old tutor in confusion.

"Why did the Master give me this book?"

[We don’t have much of a relationship, do we?] Ye Shengxin thought cautiously.

The old tutor stroked his beard and smiled: "Of course it's because I want to take a look at the script that Lord Ye will give to the emperor in the future."

"Master Ye is a top scholar. His stories are bound to be magnificent and interesting. If I can't see them soon, I will be itching to read them."

“By the way, Lord Ye, if you take this book, please don’t reveal that it was given to you by me.” The old tutor was also worried while handing over the book.

I was afraid that Ye Shengxin would get too excited and kick him out.

The reasons given were very sufficient, and Ye Shengxin felt relieved.

She hid the two books in her sleeves and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master. I will speed up the process of the storybook."

"Please rest assured that I will never tell anyone that this book was given to me by you."

The old tutor breathed a sigh of relief.

On the way to the palace with the old tutor, Ye Xingxin said excitedly to the system:

[System, I am considered a fan of the storybook, right? Right? ]

System: [Yes, yes, so host, why don’t you open it now and take a look at the story inside? ]

It is really curious.

The further he went in, the more people came around him. Ye Shengxin was afraid of being exposed, so he didn't respond.

Until she went to court and saw that the emperor didn't notice her, she decided to take out a book to relieve her boredom.

[Let me see what little stories are recorded on the remaining pages. ]

The minister who was speaking in front fell silent.

Emperor Jingming looked in the direction of Ye Shengxin and felt a headache.

What trouble is this troublesome guy going to do again?

"Master Ye, would you like to try it?"

Before Ye Shengxin opened the book, Xu Changyu took out the flower-shaped pastries made of honey, mung bean cakes and sleeping powder that he had prepared long ago.

"Give it to me?" Ye Xingxin pointed at herself, "Don't you want to eat it?"

Although the food looks delicious.

Xu Changyu smiled and said, "I used them on the way, and there are two pieces left. Seeing that Master Ye was bored, I thought of taking them out."

"If Lord Ye doesn't mind, you can try it. If you like it, I'll ask the chef in the mansion to make it later."

"I'll bring it to you when I go to court."

Xu Changyu has a gentle and harmless face, which makes it easy for people to believe what he says and not be on guard against him.

Ye Shengxin believed that he had no conflicts with Xu Changyu, so he took the oil paper bag and said thank you in a low voice.

[This pastry looks so pretty, it must be delicious. ]

Ye Shengxin took a bite and found it soft and crunchy, very satisfying to the taste buds.

Ye Shengxin squinted his eyes and ate quietly, trying to control himself not to make any sound.

After finishing one pastry, Ye Shengxin couldn't wait to grab the remaining one.

[Wow, system, it's delicious. How come the chefs in everyone's house are so good? ]

[And Xu Changyu was thinking about me, a person with whom he had little interaction, while he was eating delicious food. He is really a kind-hearted and beautiful man.]

Xu Changyu: ...

System reminder: [Host, this is what's left, don't be too narcissistic. ]

Ye Shengxin was so addicted to the delicious food that his only reaction was "Oh".

Emperor Jingming had been paying attention to what was happening on Ye Shengxin's side. He suspected that Xu Changyu had ulterior motives in bringing food to Ye Shengxin.

After all, this kid is a well-behaved person. It is impossible for him to encourage Ye Shengxin to eat during the court meeting given his personality.

The Grand Tutor and the Crown Prince also thought so.

The two looked at each other, a little worried that today's fun might be over.

result--

After Ye Shengxin confirmed that no one noticed her, she casually opened "Three or Four Things about a Minister".

Xu Changyu beside her twitched his eyes, grabbed her arm and asked in a low voice:

"Why do you have a second copy of this storybook?"

"Of course I bought it? Do you think I'm so popular that I can get it for free?"

[Really? Can a storybook be called a storybook without a second volume? ]

[This idiot is really ignorant. ]

Idiot Xu Changyu: ...

In order not to embarrass his grandfather, he thought that he would have to bring these sleepy pastries more often.
