Xue Yuan's appearance is somewhat like the image of the regent in the book.
Gu Yuanbai squinted slightly and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Xue Yuan watched a eunuch beside the rockery sneaking away from behind the rockery, turned his head thoughtfully, and smiled lightly at Gu Yuanbai: "Look at the landscape, look at the flowers and plants."
"Xue Qing does have leisure time," Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes, "How are you recovering from your injuries during the rest days?"
Xue Yuan said: "It's still acceptable."
He stood about two steps away from Gu Yuanbai, and after he finished replying, the two of them stopped talking.
moment.
"Your Highness." Xue Yuan suddenly said.
Gu Yuanbai lifted his eyelids and glanced at him.
Xue Yuan respectfully asked, "Are there any clan relatives living here in the palace?"
"There are some clansmen," Gu Yuanbai casually said, "Who did you bump into again?"
Xue Yuan couldn't help laughing, "The sage has thought too much."
After saying these two sentences, the wind calmed down for a while, and at this moment, a voice came from outside the pavilion: "Holy!"
Gu Yuanbai turned his head and saw that it was Tian Fusheng who had been sent by him to find the palace maid.
Tian Fusheng was so tired that he was out of breath. He went to the pavilion and was about to report the matter to Gu Yuanbai. When he looked up, he saw Xue Yuan, his eyes widened, and the whole person froze in place.
Xue Yuan nodded politely towards him and said, "Director Tian."
"Xue, Master Xue," Tian Fusheng returned to his senses, sneered at Xue Yuan, and continued to say to the sage, "The sage has already gone so far, the little one can't see the shadow behind, I almost thought If I lose it, my little heart will jump out of my throat with fright."
"Okay," Gu Yuanbai smiled and said openly and honestly, "Have you figured out what I asked you to inquire about?"
Tian Fusheng glanced at Xue Yuan in the rest of his life, and then said with a straight face, "Your Majesty, the maid of Sasao doesn't know much, but the little one followed the eunuch above her and found out something."
Gu Yuanbai said, "Tell me about it."
After the eunuch behind the rockery sneaked away, he came all the way to the Prince He's Mansion.
The Prince He listened to him with a cold face, and after hearing what he said, "The sage and Lord Xue get along very closely", his expression suddenly changed.
He asked solemnly, "What kind of intimacy is it?"
The eunuch said euphemistically: "I don't dare to look at it, I only know that Master Xue is standing in front of the saint, and he has cleaned his face for the saint."
That is, even touching the face.
He and the prince stood up abruptly, pacing back and forth, "The sage is angry, has he punished anyone?"
"The sage didn't scold Master Xue," the eunuch said cautiously, "and there doesn't seem to be any anger."
"..." Prince He paused for a while, and then suddenly said, "Go back."
After the eunuch in the palace withdrew, and the prince called the personal eunuch again.
As soon as the eunuch walked in, he saw that he and the prince were sitting in the shade of the room. His face could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but his tone was very depressed: "Go and send a beautiful palace maid to the sage."
Gu Yuanbai and Xue Yuan, does Gu Yuanbai... do you like men
What Tian Fusheng heard was actually nothing special.
It was just a little bit of money to let the eunuchs and court ladies under his management learn the score of this poem. This poem is good in the first place. It is catchy when hummed and passed down from person to person, so everyone will hum a sentence or two.
After listening to his words, Gu Yuanbai asked the captain of the guards to collect the kite and lead the people back along the original road.
When they reached the Sijiao Pavilion, which was surrounded by water on both sides, they happened to see a palace maid wiping the carved stone table in the Sijiao Pavilion with a towel.
This palace maid's face was very beautiful, whether it was hot or shy, and her face was slightly rosy. Simple hands and slender, although the clothes are simple, but they highlight the figure.
Tian Fusheng could see at a glance that the maid was extraordinary, but the people who could send the maid were the masters of the various houses, and it might even be Concubine Wan. Tian Fusheng looked at his nose and heart, and he couldn't take the initiative to drive him away if he didn't tell him.
Gu Yuanbai walked over and sat down, and said casually, "Go back."
The palace maid was a little disappointed, "Yes."
But because she was in a turmoil, she accidentally knocked down the teacup on the table when she closed her hand. The hot water that had just been poured into the teacup quickly flowed down the table, Gu Yuanbai quickly got up and took two steps back, frowning.
The sleeves were already stained with hot water, so Gu Yuanbai threw his hands twice and looked at the palace maid.
The palace maid knelt down, her face turned pale with fright, "Sacred Lord, slaves should die, please forgive me."
Gu Yuanbai sighed: "Go back."
The palace maid hurriedly bowed down and bowed, and carefully left the Sijiao Pavilion.
Tian Fusheng was instructing someone to clean up the water stains on the table. Gu Yuanbai walked to both sides of the pavilion, put his hands on the railing, and glanced at the bottom of the water.
Soon, there were small birds leaning against the railing, and their beaks kept screaming. Gu Yuanbai couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to touch the feathers of these birds.
But it should be because the jade wrench on the thumb is too conspicuous, and the animals love it very much. Before Gu Yuanbai's hand touched the bird, the bird was surprised, and the probe took away the jade wrench on Gu Yuanbai's finger. , with a wave of the wings, he will run away with the jade wrench in his mouth.
Gu Yuanbai laughed, "Just you, this little guy, want to steal my things?"
He reached out and grabbed it, but the bird was startled. The bird fluttered its wings in panic, its mouth loosened, and with a "thump" sound, the jade finger fell into the lake on both sides of the pavilion.
Gu Yuanbai followed the jade wrench to see the lake, and his smile became stiff.
A dark shadow flashed by, and Gu Yuanbai saw Xue Yuan stepped on the railing and jumped into the lake without hesitation.
Gu Yuanbai's eyelids jumped violently, he lifted his robe and walked out of the pavilion quickly, shouting loudly, "Xue Yuan!"
The guards hurried out of the pavilion, and some of them had already put down their sabres and jumped into the lake with "Plop".
The head guard looked serious and worried: "Master Xue is hurt..."
Gu Yuanbai's expression changed, and finally settled on a particularly ugly face.
The guards in the lake shouted back and forth, and kept diving and floating, but Xue Yuan still didn't make a sound. Gu Yuanbai's face became more and more serious, and suddenly, a person suddenly appeared beside the wooden road under his feet.
The sound of water crashed, and large swaths of water rushed toward the wooden plane road. Xue Yuan's upper body appeared. He was soaked all over, and the water on his black hair flowed down the lines on his body.
He smiled helplessly at Gu Yuanbai and said, "Your Highness."
"Is Xue Qing so reckless after being injured?" Gu Yuanbai said stiffly, "I ask you, if you are dead, how will I explain to General Xue!"
The fire in his heart was steaming, and he stared straight at Xue Yuan, with fire in his eyes.
So beautiful that the whole world is lit up.
Xue Yuandao: "The Holy Jade Wrench can't be lost."
"I have a lot of jade stones," Gu Yuanbai suppressed his voice, his eyebrows narrowed, "I don't need anyone to go out of their way to find me a mediocre jade ring finger! It's just a dead thing—"
Gu Yuanbai's voice stopped abruptly.
Xue Yuan looked at him quietly, half of his body was still immersed in the water, his hand under the water was raised, his five fingers loosened, and inside was a green jade wrench that was dripping with juice.
The running water in the palm slipped away from the fingers, and there were a few drops of water on the jade finger, and the few drops of water seemed to turn green.
"Your Majesty," Xue Yuan smiled indifferently, "this ordinary jade ring finger was found by the minister. If you don't have any other jade ring fingers to wear now, then you should be aggrieved and use this for the time being?"
He stretched out his hand towards Gu Yuanbai.
Gu Yuanbai took a few deep breaths and held out his hand.
The wet hand held it, and the other hand held the jade wrench and slowly put it on the thumb. Gu Yuanbai looked down at Xue Yuan, and swept his eyebrows to him, but Xue Yuan was too serious, and he put all his heart in Gu Yuanbai's hands, and did not notice Gu Yuanbai's searching gaze.
The green jade finger returned to where it should go, Gu Yuanbai withdrew his hand, "Xue Qing, come up."
Xue Yuan smiled, "My minister's clothes are all wet, which will obstruct the Sage's eyes. When the Sage leaves, the minister will climb out of the water."
Gu Yuanbai's throat moved up and down, as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't say a word after all. He took a deep look at Xue Yuan, turned around and left here as he wished.
This large group of people left in a mighty manner, and the guards who were looking for Xue Yuan in the water also left behind. After the figure was almost invisible, Xue Yuan stopped laughing. He put his hands on the ground and almost dragged himself to the shore with the strength of his arms.
After dragging himself ashore, he closed his eyes and slowed down.
The legs of the lower body were still soaked in the water, and the clothes were soaked in the back, revealing traces of blood. Fortunately, Gu Yuanbai has already left, otherwise, after being seen like this, how could Xue Yuan still have the face to say that he is the most useful.
After a while, Xue Yuan came over slowly. He opened his eyes, looked at the Sijiao Pavilion, and saw a familiar folding fan on the stone stool in the Sijiao Pavilion.
It was the folding fan that the sage held in his hand before, and Chu Wei gave it to the sage. Should be too hasty, this fan was thrown here.
Xue Yuan's mouth twitched.
He rested for a while before standing up on the ground. After dragging the water marks all over his body, he walked into the Sijiao Pavilion. Xue Yuan bent down and picked up the folding fan. He unfolded it with a swipe, and the landscape paintings and poems on it were revealed.
Xue Yuan finished reading it and said, "Cultural people."
He half-smiled, then tore it, and neatly scrapped the folding fan into two halves.
"Master doesn't like cultural people other than Ye."
Gu Yuanbai returned to the palace and let the drenched guards go down to clean up first. And he sat at the table, brows deep, thoughtful.
A notice came from outside: "Come and meet with the prince."
Gu Yuanbai regained his senses, "Xuan."
After a while, and the prince strode into the palace.
He went straight to the topic and asked, "Is it about to be your birthday soon?"
Tian Fusheng replied: "Go back to the lord, there is still more than a month left."
"After the birthday," He said to the prince, "there are already twenty and two in the saint, and there should be a palace concubine."
Gu Yuanbai, who was lowering his head to handle government affairs, paused and looked up at him: "Concubine Gong?"
He looked at him with suppressed anger in his eyes, and clenched his fists, "Has the sage never considered it?"
His tone was as if he was questioning, Gu Yuanbai was in a bad mood, he laughed angrily when he heard the words, he didn't even show his face to Prince He, he pointed at the palace gate and said, "Get out of here! "
Prince He's expression suddenly changed, mixed with disbelief, and looked at Gu Yuanbai blankly.
"I said the last time," Gu Yuanbai said sharply, "Go away!"
He Prince's expression became ashen, he opened his lips a few times, turned and left.
Gu Yuanbai turned his head and asked Tian Fusheng, "I asked you to check him earlier, did you find anything?"
"No," Tian Fusheng cautiously, "never found anything wrong."
Gu Yuanbai didn't make a sound, came over for a while, stood up and walked into the inner hall, mixed with the anger that was about to come, "I sleep for a while, and then call me after half an hour."
