Chapter 1312: The Grand Tutor who lost his integrity at late age (2)
Xu Erlang had specially returned to the manor for dinner today because he had to come back to bring Xu lingying to the palace to study.
The matter was like this. After settling the donation, Emperor Yongxing summoned Xu Erlang to the Imperial study and expressed his appreciation for him. He also expressed his intention to promote him.
He encouraged second son Xu to work hard and not let the Imperial court down.
At the end of the conversation, Emperor Yongxing said, intentionally or unintentionally, ”
“I heard that Minister Xu’s younger sister just so happens to be at the Age of Enlightenment, and she’s about the same age as the other princes and princesses in the palace. Why don’t we let the young lady enter the palace to study and have the Grand Tutor personally teach her?”
Xu Erlang could immediately tell that Emperor Yongxing was expressing his goodwill and trying to win him over.
It was a great honor for the children of officials to enter the palace to be study attendants. Usually, only the princesses, princes of the imperial family, and the children of some noble and important officials had this qualification.
But Xu Erlang didn’t want such a ” gift ” and quickly refused.
Emperor Yongxing was a little unhappy. He ignored Xu Erlang’s refusal and gave the order forcefully.
How could the officials refuse the emperor’s favor? Moreover, he was trying to win over Xu Erlang on the surface, but in fact, everyone knew who he was trying to win over. Therefore, he didn’t care about Xu Erlang’s opinion at all.
It was difficult to disobey the emperor’s order, so Xu Erlang could only agree.
When she went home and told her mother, her aunt was overjoyed. She thought to herself, my stupid daughter’s luck has finally changed?
The Grand Tutor was in charge of teaching the princes and princesses. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to teach Ling Ying how to read and write.
Last time, because Ling Ying hit the Crown Prince, she was expelled from the palace, and aunt regretted it until now.
In the carriage, Xu Erlang glanced at his sister who was sitting obediently on the bench and said, ”
“After entering the palace, not caring about the Grand Tutor … No matter what he asks you, you say that you have never been to school and know nothing. Do you understand?”
Xu Ling nodded hard.
“Mm!
“I’ll study hard and be listed on the Golden roll like second brother.”
No, I only beg you to spare the Grand Tutor’s dog life … Xu Erlang muttered in his heart.
After some thought, he touched Xu lingying’s head and said, ”
“If anyone bullies you, you can beat them up. If anything happens, big brother will take responsibility for you.”
After a pause, he quickly added,”be careful not to use your full strength.”
It would be fatal.
“Oh!”
The little boy nodded his head naively.
Xu Erlang immediately felt relieved. Under normal circumstances, the bell would still be very obedient. She also had a good temper and would not get angry easily unless her food was snatched away.
The carriage quickly entered the Imperial City and was stopped outside the palace gates.
After Xu Erlang explained the situation, the palace guards entered the palace to inform him. After a while, a eunuch came out and bowed to Xu Erlang before bringing Xu lingying into the palace.
The place where the princes and princesses, as well as the princesses and princes, attended their classes was called the ‘upper study room’.
Xu lingying looked left and right in surprise. Even though she had been to the palace once, for a child, one visit was obviously not enough to satisfy their exuberant curiosity.
As she walked, she suddenly saw a simple yet elegant long dress coming from the distance.
“Big sister, big sister …”
The little boy was pleasantly surprised and shouted loudly without any manners, waving at the simple and elegant dress.
Huaiqing heard the voice and looked over. When he saw the round girl, he was slightly stunned. She greeted him with a faint smile, ”
“You still remember me?”
“When my big pot died, you came to my house.” Xu Ling said loudly.
Something didn’t sound right … Huaiqing smiled and nodded.
“What are you doing in the palace?”
Xu lingying’s innocent face showed some confusion.”What’s a kidney?”
“What are you doing here?” Huaiqing rephrased his words.
“I’m here to study. Mother told me to come here to study.”
The little boy answered all his questions with an innocent face.
Huaiqing glanced at the eunuch, who replied,
“With His Majesty’s special permission, the young lady of the Xu family can enter the palace to study.”
“I’ll bring her to the study,” huaiqing said.
The eunuch didn’t dare to refuse. He bowed and left.
“Let’s go!” Huaiqing looked at the little boy with a gentle expression.
She didn’t have much interaction with the Xu family’s young lady. She had only met her once at Xu Qi ‘an’s funeral and didn’t pay much attention to the aftermath.
After all, no matter how good his relationship with Xu Qi ‘an was and how much he appreciated Xu Erlang, it was impossible for him to pay attention to a six or seven-year-old child in his family.
She didn’t even know that Lina had taken Xu lingying as her disciple, let alone the little Bean’s power.
Number one had always been cold and aloof, not very sociable, and no one in the Heaven and Earth Society would talk to her about these daily trifles.
“Sister, you’re so beautiful.”
The little boy walked beside huaiqing and raised his head.
Huaiqing smiled.
“Sister, you’re so beautiful.”
After a while, she added.
Huaiqing lowered his head and saw the girl’s big eyes shining with a fawning look.
“What do you want to say?”
Huaiqing squinted his eyes, easily seeing through her thoughts.
“Can I go to your house to eat pastries?”
The little boy revealed his true intentions.
“Sure,” huaiqing smiled.
She had always admired smart people, and smart children were among them. In addition, this child was not only clever, but also bold.
Not long after, the little boy followed huaiqing to the study.
In the spacious hall, Twelve Tables were set up. Twelve children sat obediently behind the tables, their eyes focused as they listened to the Grand Tutor’s lecture.
The Grand Tutor was nearly eighty years old and was an elder of three dynasties. He was ranked second in the ranking of the Zhen de era and had taught Emperor Yuan jing, Huai Qing and Lin ‘an. Now, he was going to teach the new generation of the royal family.
Back then, Emperor yuanjing had neglected his duties in the government when he was cultivating. The Grand Tutor had rushed into the palace and scolded the fatuous Emperor outside the Imperial study.
After that, he was disheartened and lived in seclusion in the capital.
After yuan jing’s death, he was one of the few people who knew the secret, so he unraveled the knot in his heart and picked up the work he loved again to make full use of it.
