(three more!)
After leaving Dongyuan, Zhu Xuanzhi was still thinking about Shen Su, and couldn't help asking: "Teacher, what's wrong with Master?"

Confusion appeared on his face, mixed with fear, and he looked miserable.

Shen Du stopped, lowered his waist slightly to straighten the golden crown for him, then squatted halfway down to look at him, smiled and said: "Your master is fine, don't worry. Just remember what the master said."

"Oh." Zhu Xuanzhi nodded, his expression still the same.
Shen Du couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him again: "Don't be afraid, Master is fine. He's... a little sad today, and he's fine."

Zhu Xuanzhi bit his lip, and after a while, he hesitated and asked: "Master is sad, is it because Zhu Youluo was promoted to the right servant of Shangshu?"

In fact, what he wanted to ask was, did Shigong feel that his father did something wrong?Zhu Xuanzhi had too little contact with Emperor Chongde. Although he had a relationship with his father and son, he really didn't have much strong relationship.

In contrast, of course, Shen Du who has been watching over him, and Shen Su who is always serious and cold but treats him very well are closer to Zhu Xuanzhi.
He suddenly remembered that his father was a student of his master.He didn't understand Shen Su's mood, the depression and disappointment, he could only think that he was sad.

If a student makes a mistake, the teacher will be sad. If he makes a mistake in the future, will the teacher also be sad?
He looked at Shen Du's smiling Yan Yan's face, unable to imagine that one day he would treat Shen Su like that, and secretly decided in his heart: no matter what, don't let the teacher feel sad!
How could the change in his expression escape Shen Du's eyes?A child can be taught, a child can be taught, this is what Shen Du was thinking at the moment, the smile on his face deepened, and he asked: "A little bit. Does Your Highness know why the emperor comes from a family, but the prime minister cannot come from a family?"

Zhu Xuanzhi shook his head and honestly said he didn't know.In the past, the master in the palace did not say this, and Shen Du did not tell him either.

Shen Du said what he had said before, and finally said: "Shangshu's left and right servants are also prime ministers. Your master is a little sad, that's all."

Of course, he didn't talk about the issue of Shangshu Province's power ownership, but tried to use straightforward words to express his serious worries.

Zhu Xuanzhi seemed to understand but didn't understand, he nodded after a long time, all he could think of was the official position in the court, let the capable people occupy it, that's all.

In this way, in Shen Du's opinion, it was enough, he said with a smile: "If you want Master to be happy, just perform well in the next exam."

When it came to questioning, Zhu Xuanzhi's face collapsed immediately, and he said dully: "But the students don't know what the master will ask next time."

This time, Master asked about the "Records of Taizu", the official position, and the promotion of court officials. What about next time?What will the Master Guild ask next time?
Shen Du straightened up, then turned around and walked steadily in front, while replying: "Teacher doesn't know either. So you know everything you want, and next time you come, you can make Master feel at ease."

Zhu Xuanzhi chased after him, Fat Legs tried his best to follow Shen Du, and asked unwillingly: "Teacher, you must know what the master asked, tell the students! Teacher, please..."

Shen Du turned his head to look at Zhu Xuanzhi, smiling, with a look of "I just won't tell you".

Seeing this, Zhu Xuanzhi rushed forward with a "wow", and barely hugged Shen Du's thigh, and shouted loudly: "Teacher, please help! If you don't tell the students, the students won't run around the palace..."

Zhu Xuanzhi usually didn't dare to speak like this in front of Shen Du, but Shen Du's patient comfort just now made him emboldened, so he clung to Shen Du tightly.
In this way, his confusion and fear just now dissipated, and the master and apprentice chased after each other and left the Shen family.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The lights of Tongyin Pavilion in Chibi Courtyard were still burning, Xiaoquan’s classmate was still lying beside Shen Du, biting hazelnuts "crackling, crunching", Shen Du and Gu Yan were sitting opposite each other, one was talking, the other Listen carefully.

"Hearing what you said, His Highness the Ninth Prince is a person with a pure heart. Growing up in the palace, it's really rare to have such a heart." Gu Yan poured tea for Shen Du and said so.

She has always been a little curious, why did Shen Du assist His Highness the Ninth Prince in his previous life?After all, there are quite a few princes in the palace who are of the same age as His Highness the Ninth Prince, such as His Eighth, Eleventh, and Thirteenth Princes, why would Shen Du choose the Ninth Prince alone?
Now, she understood a little bit.In addition to the two words of chance, it may also be because of the "pure heart".It seems that the birth mother of His Royal Highness Ninth Highness taught him very well. ——Gu Yan couldn't help being curious about An Jieyu.

"Yes, he has a good nature. An Jieyu is a smart woman." Shen Du raised his teacup and smiled.

Speaking of An Jieyu, he thought of Empress Dowager Zheng of Dingyuan Temple.The regret of Empress Dowager Zheng's life, apart from that one, must be that the emperor was not by her side before she was seven years old, so many things have changed...

The times are like this, good luck tricks people, and there is nothing to say.

"Ji Zhi, what's the matter with you? But something is wrong?" Gu Yan asked when he saw his face suddenly sinking.

"It's okay, I just thought of Empress Dowager Zheng. If A Bi is free, you can go and chat with her more, she will see you." Shen Du replied, and then held Gu Yan's hand.

The touch from the hand was delicate and moist, as if a ray of warmth penetrated into Shen Du's heart, and the hidden worries in his heart were not so deep.

Gu Yan did not withdraw his hand, but replied obediently: "I will. In other words, do you have any other concerns? Is there something wrong with the court?"

There will be nothing wrong with the Shen family, the emperor's health is not bad now, what can make Ji Zhi worry about is the affairs of the court.

Now that the Zhongshu and Menxia provincial government offices have been relocated, the Shangshu Order has been withdrawn, and there is still the Zhengshitang. Everything is as planned, so what else is going on?
When Gu Yan heard the content of Shen Du's memorabilia, she was extremely shocked. The person she admired had the courage to clear up the chronic diseases and the courage to shake up the official system, and she felt honored.

But what happened to the depression in Ji Zhi's eyes?

Shen Du held Gu Yan's hand, put it under his lips and touched it, and then replied: "It's for the right and left shooters. Needless to say, Zheng Shiyong, Zhu Youluo's superiority makes me feel uneasy..."

He spoke out the hidden worries before, and the hidden worries of him and Shen Su were the power situation of the three provinces.

This time, Gu Yan didn't know what to say.
