The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 92 Sudden Bad News

On the day Bai Ziyu left Beijing, Yun Yuhong reluctantly took everyone to Shili Pavilion outside the city.During this period of time, the two met every day, and they were used to the situation where they could see each other as soon as they looked up, and the thought of being apart for a while was unbearable.Yun Yuhong took Bai Ziyu's hand and said, "You have to pay attention to your body this time around, and don't overwork yourself."

Bai Ziyu nodded, and said softly: "I know, you should also pay attention to your health, there are many affairs in court, you should listen to Mr. Ning's opinions more."

Mr. Ning was silently crying in his heart, he listened to my opinion, just asked me to work more, you left, and if you didn't remind the master, you would leave the prime minister's work to me, now, I can't even take time off There was no time for tea.

Yun Yuhong nodded, and said to the crybaby and the cheap ghost who were going with Bai Ziyu: "You two should cheer up and pay more attention on the way, I will leave Yulang's safety to you."

The cheapskate patted his chest and said: "Master, don't worry, I will be there when Mr. Bai is here, and I will protect him with my life."

The crybaby also said: "We will protect Mr. Bai well, we will not let Mr. Bai get hurt, and we will not let Mr. Bai be seduced by a fox."

Both Yun Yuhong and Bai Ziyu blushed, Yun Yuhong smiled and scolded: "I'm not worried about Yulang, you should worry about yourself. You won't lose people again this time, right?"

The crybaby hurriedly said: "No, definitely not, Young Master Bai will not run around like the four princes."

Bai Ziyu pulled Yun Yuhong over with a smile, "Let's forget that matter is over, and we can't blame the crybaby entirely. It's getting late, I'm leaving, take care of yourself."

Yun Yuhong warned: "Send a letter every two days, don't forget."

Bai Ziyu nodded and said, "I remember, don't worry, I will be back as soon as possible."

The old Taoist couldn't bear it anymore, and said to the two of them: "Okay, it's been half an hour since you both said goodbye, and the officials on the way are about to fall asleep. Mr. Bai is only going for a few days, not a year or a half. Not coming back, leave early, return early."

Yun Yuhong glared at the old man, who shrank his neck in fright and hid behind.Bai Ziyu smiled, looked at Bai Ziren who was being pulled by Bai Shu, and said, "Ziren needs to ask Mr. Bai and the Taoist priest to take care of him."

Bai Shu nodded.

Finally, Bai Ziyu cupped his hands and said, "I'm starting now, everyone, take care." After speaking, he turned and entered the official sedan chair, and left with the team.

Yun Yuhong watched the team walk a long way before looking away, but when she turned around, she saw Bai Ziren who hadn't spoken the whole time.She had heard a little bit about this child's experience. His brother's departure didn't seem to have any effect on him, but he was just immersed in his own thoughts. Could this child be suffering from autism?

Yun Yuhong stepped forward and took Bai Ziren's hand and said, "Smart Ghost and I took Ziren for a walk on the street, you guys go back first."

Yun Yuhong's idea is very simple, children like lively and fun places, so she took Bai Ziren to the bustling Dashi Bridge in the north of the city, where there are jugglers and all kinds of snacks, as long as it is a normal child, there is no dislike.And just as Yun Yuhong expected, Bai Ziren was very interested in this place, he didn't even blink his eyes, he just didn't smile or speak, he seemed timid and reserved.But if you coax him with some delicious food, you can still say a few words.Yun Yuhong concluded that the child could still be saved, but it would take a little effort.

In the days that followed, Yun Yuhong asked Emperor Qianzong to issue a decree to let children around the age of ten from the families of ministers above the second rank enter the palace to choose companions for the four princes. Playmate, in the future, he will be the confidant of the princes.All the ministers were active again at once, and many women who had imperial orders went to the palace to beg to see several noble concubines to establish relationships.

On the day of the election, besides Yun Yuhong and the four princes, Qian Zong and the four imperial concubines, as well as the parents of the children who had yet to be selected, all came. The playmates of the four princes are of course chosen by the four princes themselves.But the hearts of the four princes began to engage in a battle between heaven and man.

As for the candidates, their mothers and concubines were all arranged, and they were all explained before they came, except for the fourth prince, they were all their cousins ​​or cousins.As for the fourth prince, even though the Liu family fell, there were still some people who would not let him go. Concubine Rude offered an olive branch and strongly recommended the son of General Jingwuhou to their mother and son.But the wise princes still asked Xia Yun Yuhong for her opinion, and Yun Yuhong also gave her the suitable candidate. Bai Ziren from Jingguo Hou's family must be chosen, and then a bastard from Yu Shangshu's family. Born to a concubine, very unfavored, named Yu Zhiqiang, nine years old this year, but still illiterate.There is also Ji Hongsi, the youngest son of the Minister of the Ministry of War, Ji Hongsi, who is ten years old this year, but although he is the eldest son, he has lost his biological mother since he was a child. After his stepmother gave birth to a son at home, he is in a very embarrassing situation.Finally, there is the even more unimaginable Hong Yudu, the son of Lord Hong of Dali Temple. This child is nine years old, but he was born outside the family. Although he is called the third son in the Hong family, he is actually no different from a servant. It is common for the two elder brothers who serve the family to be beaten and scolded.

After hearing about Yun Yuhong's selection of candidates for the four princes, except for Bai Ziren, the gap between these candidates and the concubine's mother's requirements is too large, and the mother's life is difficult, but the order of the emperor's sister seems to be even more difficult.The eldest prince asked Yun Yuhong with a bitter face: "Sister Huang, why are these people? Accompanying students are usually not relatives, they are also the sons of ministers' families, or they are outstanding in knowledge. These people can't be selected."

Yun Yuhong said with a half smile but not a smile: "But you just love to play with them, don't you?"

The eldest prince stopped talking, and thought: I haven't seen him before, why are we playing together.

The third prince still couldn't help asking: "Then what if... I mean, what if these people are not selected in the end?"

"It's just a few children, won't I be able to handle it?" Yun Yuhong said calmly, but the princes turned cold and didn't dare to ask any more.

The four princes discussed for a long time afterwards, and finally set a goal, but when things came to an end, they all backed down a bit.On the one hand is the concubine mother, on the other is the imperial sister, they don't want to offend, but they can't do both. After pushing each other for a while, the fourth prince stood up first. He pointed at Bai Ziren and said, "I heard that brother Ziren has a gentle temperament. Choose Brother Ziren." There is no such thing as his cousins ​​here, so there is not so much pressure to choose the fourth prince.After the selection, he sneaked a glance at the imperial sister, and saw that the imperial sister nodded in satisfaction. The fourth prince dropped his heart. As for the mother and concubine's expression, he didn't dare to look at it. He could only act coquettishly when he returned. .

The second prince also stood up afterwards, "I choose Yu Zhiqiang."

Yu Shangshu didn't hear clearly, and asked: "The second prince is talking about Zhiqiang? Is it wrong?"

The second prince affirmed, "That's right, it's Zhiqiang."

Yu Shangshu was dissatisfied and said: "He is a bastard and cannot be elected."

The second prince said: "What's wrong with the bastard, I am also a bastard."

"How can this be the same, you are the prince." Yu Shangshu said angrily.

Yun Yuhong laughed and said, "Since you know he is the prince, then you can't question his decision."

Yu Shangshu knew that he had lost his composure, so he had no choice but to keep silent. Fortunately, he was also his son, so he just went back and taught him a lesson.

The First Prince stood up and shouted like he was going all out: "I choose Ji Hongsi, the Minister of Military Affairs. Don't ask me why, I either don't want it, or it's him."

Everyone was stunned. Although this is not favored, it is normal for the eldest son to be chosen. Why is the eldest prince crazy?

Those who knew the inside story saw that none of the three princes chose the default person, and this person was so strangely irregular that he couldn't figure it out for a while.Concubine Hui also became worried, and kept winking at the third prince.

The third prince was so anxious that he didn't even dare to look at Concubine Hui, so he hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "I choose Master Hong's son, Hong Yuyu."

Concubine Hui asked anxiously: "My lord, did you make a mistake, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to choose your eldest cousin?"

The third prince turned his head and said with a smile: "I want to find someone to serve me, but I'm too embarrassed to instruct my eldest cousin, it's better to be redundant, he has experience in serving others."

Zhou Daxun's face turned blue with anger, and many people laughed secretly, but this matter was settled for the princes to choose by themselves, and it was difficult for others to say anything, so they could only settle down like this.

Under Yun Yuhong's arrangement, the eight children began to practice literature and martial arts every day, and Yun Yuhong began to check the accounts of the household department.She selected ten old accountants, and began to check the accounts of the household department within five years.Yu Shangshu is very calm, he is not afraid of not cheating on the accounts, and Yun Yuhong is sure that nothing will be found out, but he just wants to respond to Yu Shangshu. She has left all the paperwork to Mr. Ning, and she spends most of her time using it. Let's pay attention to the progress of Bai Ziyu's affairs.Bai Ziyu sent several letters on time, saying that everything was going well, the victims had been comforted by him, and they all came back to rebuild their homes one after another.He organized some people to rebuild the dam, so he had to come back later.What's more, he thinks about her every day, and he hasn't been seduced by the vixen, please rest assured.Yun Yuhong replied with a smile: "I'm not afraid of hooking you away. I learned spells with the Taoist priest, and I specialize in collecting vixies." A little sweet.

It also started to rain in central Beijing, and it rained for three days in a row. Yun Yuhong hadn’t received a reply for three days, and I couldn’t help but feel worried, especially the eyes have been jumping for the past two days, which made Yun Yuhong always have a bad feeling I had a premonition, but I could only comfort myself in my heart, maybe it was just the rain that delayed the trip, and the letter was two days late.But as soon as he settled down, the witty ghost ran in in a panic, dripping wet, and cried to Yun Yuhong, "Master is not well, Mr. Bai and the miserly ghost were swept away by the flood and disappeared."
