Xiuqi looked at his mother and wanted to say: Are your fellow brothers free to teach my son?

Since his brief contact with his mother's senior brothers in the great scholar's manor, he felt that he had benefited a lot.

If his mother hadn't wanted to take him back, he felt that he could have stayed there for a long time.

What a joy it is to discuss knowledge every day!

Mr. Hong beside him was eager to express his opinion: "Queen, this cannot be done! The study load is too heavy and is not conducive to the growth of the prince. We cannot force the issue!"

Yun Xi looked at him and said, "Mr. Hong, who was your teacher? How was your performance in the imperial examination? What did you do before coming here?"

The several teachers who came to teach her son were all tested by her.

This Mr. Hong, I don’t know where he came from, I’ve never seen him before.

"Your Majesty, I am a student of Mr. Lu, and I was also the third place winner in the last session." Mr. Hong said this with a proud look on his face, waiting for Yun Xi to praise him.

Mr. Lu?

He is just a pedantic scholar!

Yun Xi was secretly sarcastic in her heart.

"After Mr. Hong passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, where did he get a high position?"

Generally, the imperial court would definitely arrange suitable positions for the Tanhua candidates.

"I was waiting for His Majesty's arrangements, but he passed away unexpectedly. I can only wait at home..." Mr. Hong lowered his head, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

What's wrong with this queen?

Isn’t my status as a third place winner high enough?

You even asked me where I was doing. If it weren't for your man seizing power, I would have become a high-ranking official long ago!

As soon as the late emperor passed away, the whole country was in mourning, and all the positions that had been established and negotiated before were suspended.

Later, the other party told him directly that the person with connections had been dismissed by the emperor and the position promised to him could not be given.

Part of the money was returned to him, but his best time was wasted!

I was so bored at home that I had to go to various universities to teach part-time.

Fortunately, he still has the status of Tanhualang, so the salary he offers is still acceptable.

His senior brother was teaching the prince riding and archery in the imperial palace. After another teacher took leave, he specially asked him to come and take over the class.

In his opinion, his position here is secure!

The teacher who asked him to substitute for his class was just a juren, how could he compare to him, a tanhua scholar!

But the prince suddenly said he wanted to invite another teacher, and he panicked.

He knew that he had knowledge, but he did not have enough teaching experience.

The headmaster of a college once scolded him, saying that he only knew how to show off his knowledge but not how to really teach others.

He got angry and just walked away.

He usually doesn't take it seriously, but if other gentlemen really come, he still lacks confidence.

Yun Xi nodded slowly, with a look of regret on her face: "Well, what a pity! Since you won the third place, you should have gone to work."

This person is a bit boastful. He really needs to gain experience in real life!

She didn't want someone to teach her son only superficial book knowledge.

"I'll talk to the Emperor about this later and see if there's a suitable position for you."

Mr. Hong was stunned, and kowtowed happily: "Thank you very much, Queen, for your promotion!"

Being the prince's teacher in the palace is certainly good, but the prince is only in his teens and the emperor is still very young. It will probably take decades for the prince to come to prominence.

How can I afford to wait?

It would be better to work outside and get some real benefits.

"You go down!"

Yun Xi asked Mr. Hong to step aside and took her son to the side hall where he rested while studying.

Prince Xiuqi has had an idea in his mind recently. He feels that his knowledge is limited and he longs to be exposed to more knowledge and wisdom.

Seeing that he and his mother were the only ones there, he walked up to his mother, bowed respectfully, and said, "Mother, I have a favor to ask."

Queen Yunxi looked at her intelligent son and asked with a smile, "Xiu'er, what's the matter? Feel free to tell me."

Xiu Qi's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and he said, "I heard that your master is a great scholar of the time, and all his disciples have extraordinary talents. I beg you to invite them to teach me, so as to broaden my horizons and increase my wisdom."

Queen Yunxi was slightly stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

She knew very well that her senior brother and his disciples were indeed well-educated people, but this was not something that could be done easily.

The great scholar established a rule decades ago: none of his disciples could enter the palace.

However, looking at her son's eager eyes, she didn't want to refuse so quickly.

Give it a try, maybe the rules have changed now?

"I am very pleased that my son has such aspirations. I need to think carefully about this matter." Queen Yunxi said.

She couldn't guarantee it.

It would be the best if the senior brothers could come. She would understand if they couldn't come, after all, it was hard to disobey the master's orders.

Xiuqi was filled with joy, knowing that his mother was already attracted to him.

He bowed again and said, "Thank you, mother. I will study hard and live up to your expectations."

Queen Yunxi decided to send someone to inquire about the master's current situation and the situation of his disciples.

Shengxia took the order and left.

Soon, she came back after finding out the news.

"Your Majesty, the great scholar is currently giving lectures in a quiet place. Some of his disciples are traveling with him, while others are staying at the manor."

Yun Xi thought about it again and again and decided to write a letter to the great scholar and the eldest senior brother personally to express the prince's desire to study and her respect for them.

The letter was written with earnest words, full of desire for knowledge inheritance and expectations for the prince's future.

After sending the letter, Queen Yunxi felt a little uneasy. She didn't know how her senior brother would respond.

Prince Xiuqi was looking forward to the news every day and studied even harder, for fear that his mother's senior brothers would dislike him when they came.

After some time, I finally received a reply from the senior brother.

In the letter, the senior brother expressed that the great scholar was deeply pleased with the prince's desire to learn and was willing to send several outstanding disciples to the palace to teach the prince.

Yun Xi and Crown Prince Xiuqi were very happy when they heard the news.

The imperial palace also began to prepare accommodation and teaching facilities for these upcoming great Confucian disciples.

Three days later, when these great Confucian disciples arrived at the palace, Crown Prince Xiuqi came to greet them personally.

"Fourth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother!" Yun Xi stepped forward to greet them in surprise.

Unexpectedly, the eldest senior brother sent the fourth senior brother who had the best relationship with her.

"Junior sister, long time no see." The fourth brother said with a smile in his eyes.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen." The Sixth Senior Brother was relatively polite and bowed politely.

Both of them brought a servant with them.

Yun Xi enthusiastically took them to their accommodation in person.

The two of them lived together in a small courtyard, right next to Taishuyuan.

They were assigned two young eunuchs, four maids and a head nanny.

The treatment of Fourth Senior Brother will definitely be different.

Yun Xi asked Lvyi to write a letter on the spot, asking the manor to send two female guards to replace the two maids.
