Chapter 211: Not Covered Up Well Enough
The officials nodded repeatedly.
"Of course, of course. We will do our best."
Xu Ke immediately understood what was going on and decided to follow the Duke's wife's example.
At this time, dark clouds gathered in the sky and the wind gradually grew stronger.
The Duke's wife said worriedly:
"In June, the wind and rain are likely to come at any time. We need to find a way to accommodate these disaster victims as soon as possible."
Xu Ke looked around.
"Let's move the elderly, the weak, women and children to a safer place first."
Everyone took action and tried to find a relatively safe shelter for the victims before the storm came.
........
Inside the library of the imperial palace.
A group of young civil servants are buried in mountains of classic ancient books.
Li Yueze is also one of them.
This time the Regent gave the order.
These young civil servants were required to explore the secrets of ancient wizard spells from the vast sea of ancient books.
Li Yueze sat upright, browsing the text in the ancient books.
No one knew how much he enjoyed this work.
Because he also wanted to use these ancient books to find out why he had memories of another world.
Also, since he was a child, he has seen the people and scenery around him in black and white.
He originally thought that this phenomenon should be color blindness until he saw a young girl outside the Baiyun Taoist Temple.
That was the first color he saw in this world, and the girl was so beautiful.
I saw her uniqueness at first sight.
She captured his heart at first sight.
Unfortunately, someone got there first.
That man was the most powerful official in the dynasty, the Regent, who controlled the government.
What was even more bizarre was that the Regent Chu Musheng suddenly became colorful in his eyes.
In the hall, the Regent and his beloved girl walked together.
Li Yueze could see the bright red lining of the robe under the Regent's black suit.
During the previous palace examination, Li Yueze had also met the Regent Chu Musheng.
The regent at that time was clearly the same black and white as everyone else.
How come things suddenly become colorful when you have a loved one?
Li Yueze was puzzled.
They were both colorful, they got married, and they had a son.
And I can only be a spectator.
Do you see the clouds rolling and the flowers blooming and falling?
When Li Yueze thought of this, he couldn't help feeling bitter.
He secretly clenched his fists, but was helpless.
In this dynasty where imperial power is supreme in the inner palace, power is everything.
The Regent has great power in the court, how can I compare with him?
He took a deep breath, trying to put these distracting thoughts behind him and refocus his attention on the ancient book in front of him.
However, the face of Princess Sheng always lingered in his mind, disturbing his mood.
A civil servant who was familiar with him came over and asked softly:
"Brother Li, you seem absent-minded, but is there something bothering you?"
Li Yueze smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired."
The civil servant patted him on the shoulder.
"In that case, why not take a break first and not push yourself too hard."
Li Yueze nodded slightly, but his eyes were still a little blurry.
At this time, the eunuch guarding the door came with a report outside the library.
"The Prince Regent has arrived."
Everyone knelt down and saluted.
Li Yueze also suppressed his thoughts and saluted with everyone else.
Regent Chu Musheng strode into the library and glanced at everyone.
Finally, his gaze stopped on Li Yueze, with an elusive look in his eyes.
"Everyone, get up."
The Regent's voice was deep and commanding.
Everyone thanked him and stood up.
"You have been here for two days looking through ancient books. How is the progress?"
The Regent asked in a calm tone.
The leading civil servant hurried forward to report.
"Reporting to the Regent, there are many ancient books in the library, and it will take some time to sort them out carefully."
The Regent nodded slightly.
"You guys continue."
After hearing this, everyone sat down and continued to read the ancient books on the desk.
Chu Musheng walked over to Li Yueze, lifted his royal robe and sat down casually.
Li Yueze quickly stood up and saluted.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
Chu Musheng raised his hand to signal him to sit down and spoke in a calm voice.
"Li Bianxiu, I heard that you are still unmarried. Is this true?"
Li Yueze was shocked and didn't know why the Regent mentioned this matter.
"My Lord, this is indeed the case."
Chu Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Li Bianxiu is now at the age to get married. Does he have a woman in mind?"
Li Yueze's expression froze, and the face of Princess Sheng unconsciously appeared in his mind, and then he quickly shook his head.
"I have been so busy with my official duties that I have not yet considered this matter."
Chu Musheng looked at him with a smile.
Editor Li is young and promising.
It is undeniable that he is a promising talent among the new generation of young officials.
It's just that he is more handsome and has a taller figure.
He also knew the princess.
Li Bianxiu's sister Li Yueran is a close friend of the princess.
Chu Musheng remembered that his princess had once asked about Li Yueze because of a song.
At a flower-viewing banquet in the palace.
The secret guard also told him that Li Yueze had played a song in the place where his princess passed by.
Not long before, Editor Li took the initiative to step forward and greet his princess.
These things made Chu Musheng feel a little uncomfortable, and he never wanted to use him.
But there are other ways.
Chu Musheng said again at this time.
"I can keep an eye out for you. There must be a suitable daughter of a minister or a daughter of a prominent family in the court."
Li Yueze bowed quickly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, I would like to rely on my own fate and do not want to trouble Your Highness."
Chu Musheng simply ignored his excuses and patted his shoulder lightly.
"Li Bianxiu has devoted himself to the court, so it is only natural that I should be concerned about your lifelong affairs."
Li Yueze nodded timidly and didn't dare to say anything more.
Chu Musheng stood up and left, and Li Yueze finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But I became more and more surprised.
Didn’t I cover it up well enough?
Could it be that the Regent has noticed his feelings for Princess Sheng?
Otherwise, how could he, a regent who is busy with all kinds of affairs, care about the marriage of a small civil servant?
The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became.
Li Yueze picked up a book at random, covered his eyes, and hid his soul.
......
Chu Musheng walked out of the library.
At this time, the sky darkened unknowingly.
"Is it going to rain again?"
Chu Musheng wondered whether he should go to Prince Lu's mansion to check on Prince Lu's condition.
I've been so busy these days that I haven't had time to visit my brother.
I heard that the Queen Mother had visited me once, and I became even more worried when I returned to the palace.
It can be seen that Prince Lu’s situation is really not good.
At this time, his secret guard An Jiu delivered a message to him.
"Your Highness, the princess took Sheng Er and the others to visit the refugees outside the city today..."
"Come here, prepare the horses."
Chu Musheng strode out of the palace.
As soon as I left the palace, raindrops as big as beans began to fall.
Chu Musheng jumped on his horse and galloped in the rain.
The rain soaked his clothes, but he was completely unaware.
Sheng Wu and his guards followed closely behind on horseback.
