Dressed as the teacher of the Black Lotus Emperor

As the warm heat source approached behind him, the tip of his nose smelled the familiar fragrance of plum again, his thin back straightened, Xiao Shen's whole body tensed up, and he unconsciously entered a state of alert.

In this palace, everyone avoids him like a snake or scorpion, or approaches him just to bully him, so he resists getting close to others, and is always ready to escape or save himself.

This is a conditioned reflex engraved in his bones.

But the person sticking behind him at this moment has saved him, hugged him, and slept with him on the same bed, so many times, he has never laid hands on him...

"What are you thinking about?" Sensing the stiffness of the dumpling, Shen Qingzhuo withdrew his body slightly, "Mr. is showing you a demonstration, don't let your mind wander."

Xiao Shen seemed to wake up from a dream, a blush crept up his ears, and apologized softly: "I'm sorry, sir."

The 12-year-old boy's voice is not yet fully developed, but he is usually used to disguising, and his voice sounds mature and indifferent beyond his peers.

But at this moment, he let down his vigilance temporarily, and his little voice, which lacked confidence, became milky, which was quite painful.

So, Shen Qingzhuo slowed down his tone: "Okay, from now on, focus on it."

He looked down at the little hand he was holding in his palm. The back of the hand was covered with red and purple frostbite, and there were several scabs on the cracked surface. It should not be a child's hand no matter what.

He couldn't help but sighed in his heart, and led the ball to move the pen, the Langhao pen tip wandering on the fine plain paper.

"The heavens and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric. The sun and the moon are full and the sun and the moon are full. The cold comes and the summer goes, and the autumn is harvested and winter is stored."

Shen Qingzhuo stopped writing, and asked casually, "How do you compare Mr.'s writing with yours?"

Xiao Shen stared blankly at the black and white words, and didn't say anything for a while.

He has never read a book seriously, let alone any research on calligraphy, but he can distinguish good characters from bad characters.Although I can't explain why, the few lines that my husband wrote with him are more beautiful than the words engraved on the "Thousand Characters" book he memorized.

"It seems that you can tell the difference between good and bad characters." Shen Qingzhuo couldn't help laughing, "But sir is bullying you by comparing with you. When sir was your age, the characters you wrote looked like they were dug out by a puppy's paw. "

In fact, he lied a little. His handwriting was already beautiful when he was 12 years old. Using a brush is much easier than pencils and pens. Since he was a child, he has always been the boy with the best handwriting in the class.

He said that just to make the group happy.

Sure enough, Tuanzi seemed to be amused by his words, and although it was fleeting, his stiff body finally relaxed a little.

"Handwriting is made by practice. Dripping water wears away rocks, and it doesn't take a day." Shen Qingzhuo let go of his little hand, "Practicing calligraphy is the most important thing to persevere. In time, you will write more beautifully than sir."

The warm palm left suddenly, Xiao Shen glanced at his own hand unconsciously, and suddenly felt that his hand seemed ugly too.

Shen Qingzhuo took a step back, "Have you remembered the pen-holding posture I taught you? Try writing it yourself."

"Okay." Xiao Shen concentrated and held his breath, tried to recall the feeling just now, and wrote with the correct posture of holding the pen.

However, his hands still didn't work very well, his fingers trembled, and the tip of the pen fell on the paper, making the lines crooked.

"Relax." Shen Qingzhuo stepped forward again, supporting his thin wrist with a slender hand like jade, "Don't use brute force, use your wrist to exert force, right..."

He is surprisingly patient, with a gentle and gentle voice, and he takes the dumpling to practice the power posture tirelessly.

The daytime slipped away unknowingly, and at dusk and sunset, the crimson sunset glow passed through the high walls of the deep palace, landed on the desk full of papers, passed by silently, and then disappeared completely.

"My lord, it's getting dark." Xiao Dezi pushed open the door and walked into the study, "Servants come to light the lamp."

Shen Qingzhuo sat by the side, seeing that Tuanzi was practicing calligraphy without distraction, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart.

Maybe he is not a good teacher, but Xiao Shen will definitely be a good student.

"Dinner will be in half an hour." Xiao Dezi glanced at His Highness quietly, "Does Your Highness want to stay for dinner?"

Hearing this, Xiao Shen finally raised his head.

He looked at Shen Qingzhuo for the first time, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes that he didn't realize.

Shen Qingzhuo didn't look at him, but replied indifferently: "Your Highness won't stay and have dinner together."

Xiao Shen lowered his head again, as if the conversation just now had nothing to do with him.

Xiao Dezi couldn't help but said: "My lord..."

Shen Qingzhuo glanced at him: "Huh?"

Xiao Dezi fell silent for a moment.

"It's getting late, let's stop here for now." Shen Qingzhuo got up, "Tomorrow, don't sleep until the sun is up, and come see me before Chen Shi."

Children are still growing and need to ensure adequate sleep, but since they want to read and practice calligraphy, they should not develop the bad habit of sleeping late.

Xiao Shen couldn't help but clenched his pen, "I want to practice for a while."

"Be obedient." Shen Qingzhuo walked over and took out the pen in his hand slowly and irresistibly, "Sir, I just said that dripping water can wear away a rock in a day, don't you remember?"

Xiao Shen: "I..."

Shen Qingzhuo put the brush back on the pen stand, "Besides, you don't know many characters yet, so take your time."

Having said so much, Xiao Shen had no choice but to stop.

He obediently withdrew his hand that was sore and numb from writing, and stepped aside, "Sir, then I'll go back first."

Shen Qingzhuo gave a "hmm" and reminded: "It's dark, be careful on the way back."

Xiao Dezi volunteered and said: "My lord, the servants can send His Highness back!"

"You have other things, and you forgot again?" Shen Qingzhuo winked at him.

"Ah?" Xiao Dezi was bewildered.

Xiao Shen didn't stay any longer, bowed his hands to Mr. Chong, turned around and walked out of the small study without hesitation.

There were only two masters and servants left in the room, Xiao Dezi thought hard, but he still couldn't remember what he hadn't done well, so he asked boldly: "My lord, did the servants forget something?"

"Forget about being stupid." Shen Qingzhuo rolled up the book in his hand, tapped his head lightly, and warned, "From now on, don't be too warm to His Highness."

Xiao Dezi scratched the back of his head: "This slave does not understand."

Shen Qingzhuo said coolly: "Have you completely forgotten what instructions that person from the East Palace gave you?"

Xiao Dezi: "This..."

Shen Qingzhuo: "Do you think everyone in the palace is a bad person?"

"Of course not." Xiao Dezi shook his head without hesitation, and said in a very sincere tone, "My lord, you are a good person."

"You're wrong, I'm not a bad person, but I'm not a good person either." Shen Qingzhuo chuckled, "Then do you think there are many good people in the palace?"

Xiao Dezi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head again: "Not much."

Shen Qingzhuo said sternly: "Someone wants His Highness to live a more difficult life, and those who have no grievances with His Highness will not help him anymore. What's more, in order to please some people, once If given the chance, they would step on him hard.”

Xiao Dezi's expression changed suddenly: "My lord, what do you mean..."

"You can be nice to His Highness, but do it quietly so that no one can find out." Shen Qingzhuo threw the book to him, "As for the rest, I have my own plan, you just do what I say."

This is the imperial palace, one wrong step will lead to an abyss.

***

For several days in a row, the sun was shining brightly, and Shen Qingzhuo's mood became better and better with the sunny weather.

Of course, what pleased him the most was that he found that he might have underestimated the learning ability of the young apprentice.

In the original book, because he has not received systematic study and education, the way the villain tyrant usurps the throne is simple and rude, that is, to kill, kill, and kill again.

He's not good at machinations, but he's a born murderer.From the Fourth Prince to His Highness the Crown Prince, he was like a wild beast dormant in the dark. If he wanted to kill someone, he would keep his eyes on the prey calmly, and then wait for the opportunity to hunt and kill him, almost hitting every shot.

And in the past few days of study, he is like a huge dry sponge, once put into the ocean of knowledge, it will continuously absorb water.His learning ability is extremely strong, and his memory is also beyond ordinary people. In just a few days, he not only memorized all the new words and words taught to him, but also wrote decently with one hand.

With the current progress, Shen Qingzhuo believes that his teaching will soon enter the next stage.

However, there were still a few issues that bothered him.

For example, the class time he set for Tuanzi is Chenshi, but the young disciples who are eager to learn often come to Jiyue Pavilion eagerly at dawn, not daring to enter the small study without authorization, and squatting in front of the bedroom door with their knees hugged, waiting for Mr. get up.

As for the eunuchs and maids of Jiyue Pavilion, since they were punished by the young master to kneel last time, they have lost a lot of arrogance. Now that they see His Highness the Seventh Prince sitting in front of the young master's door, they dare not go up and send them away, so they can only act as if they didn't see them, and do their own thing. own.

At a moment's notice, Shen Qingzhuo stepped out of the room, and sure enough, he saw Tuanzi squatting at his feet again, with his round head facing him, shrinking into a cute little ball.

"Didn't I say, you can sleep a little longer in the morning." He covered his lips and yawned in a helpless tone, "Sir, I really can't get up."

He originally had quite good work and rest habits, but since he entered this body, he became more and more lethargic.

I don't know if this body is inherently weak, or his soul needs to get in touch with his body, but he always feels tired every now and then.

Hearing Mr.'s voice, Xiao Shen jumped up, staring at him with big shiny black eyes, "I can't sleep."

Shen Qingzhuo: "..."

"When you grow up, you will know the benefits of sleeping."

He walked down the wooden ladder slowly, and suddenly thought: "Since you can't sleep in the morning, then let's do this. From tomorrow on, when you come, you will first take a stroll in the yard."

Xiao Shen was stunned: "What?"

The lady who was cleaning the yard listened, and thought to herself: Your lord has come up with a new way to torment the Seventh Prince!

Shen Qingzhuo stopped and glanced at Tuanzi, "Zamabu, won't you? No, I'll teach you."

After that, he called the system in his mind: "007, are you there?"

System: [Why did you suddenly think of me? 】

Shen Qingzhuo: "Help me Baidu, the correct method and essentials of Zamabu."

system:【……】

【You really think I'm Baidu Encyclopedia? 】The mechatronic sound sounds very speechless.

Shen Qingzhuo: "Aren't you?"

Complaints are nothing but complaints, the system still quickly collected relevant information about Zamabu, then compiled it into a document, and sent it directly to Shen Qingzhuo's brain.

Shen Qingzhuo took advantage of the break during breakfast to go through the relevant information in his mind, and confidently prepared to personally instruct the little apprentices to practice the Zama step after today's lecture.

The body is the capital of revolution, learning is very important, and exercising is also very important.

However, before he finished his breakfast, an unexpected visitor came to Jiyue Pavilion.

Pei Shaofu was wearing a white jade brocade gown, which was gentle and chic, with orchids and jade trees. As soon as he entered the hall, the little maids waiting at the side couldn't help but sneak a few glances.

"Shaofu Pei?" Shen Qingzhuo put down his chopsticks, picked up the wet handkerchief on the table and wiped his hands, "Your Majesty is here, I am not far away to welcome you."

That's what he said, but his tone and expression were very cold, and he couldn't see the meaning of apology at all.

Pei Yanqi didn't care too much, and smiled lightly: "It's because I came by accident and disturbed the third son for breakfast."

Shen Qingzhuo got up: "I don't know why Shaofu Pei came here today?"

Pei Yanqi: "Can't you bother me if you have nothing to do?"

Shen Qingzhuo: "..."

You said it was a nuisance, but you still asked if you could?

"Where is it?" The corners of Mr. Shen's lips curved slightly, drawing a polite arc, "Pei Shaofu, this way please."

At present, he still doesn't know what the relationship between the original owner and this person is, and Pei Yanqi is the number one scholar in the Sanyuan of Dayong Lianzhong. How dare he neglect the current crown prince Shaofu?

The two moved into the main hall to talk.

After exchanging pleasantries back and forth, Pei Yanqi still refused to explain why he came.

Shen Qingzhuo understood, and dismissed the maids who were waiting beside her.

"There are only me and Shaofu Pei left now, Shaofu might as well speak up." Shen Qingzhuo took a sip of hot tea and got straight to the point.

Pei Yanqi was silent for a moment, and said unhurriedly: "The third son was ordered to teach the seventh prince, now it's more than three months, how is the progress?"

Shen Qingzhuo couldn't figure out his real intention, and replied cautiously: "His Royal Highness has not yet enlightened, and the progress is slow."

It was exactly the same as what he reported to the prince last time.

"Third Young Master, today I am not here to ask questions on behalf of the Crown Prince." Pei Yanqi watched him with gentle and clear eyes.

Shen Qingzhuo remained calm, secretly thinking about the credibility of this sentence.

Since he came back from the East Palace last time, he has not punished Xiao Shen on the surface. His actions must have been reported to the East Palace long ago, but because he gave an early warning, His Highness the Crown Prince will not have any doubts for the time being.

So, what is the real purpose of Pei Yanqi's sudden visit early in the morning?

"Teaching His Highness the Seventh Highness is a hot job for anyone, let alone you came from the Eastern Palace." Pei Yanqi also picked up the teacup, and gently skimmed off the foam from the tea, "Third Young Master , why don't you get out as soon as possible?"

Shen Qingzhuo frowned slightly, looking back at him with some surprise.

In just a quarter of an hour, he thought of many reasons in his mind, but he never expected that Pei Yanqi came to persuade him to get away.

Pei Yanqi reminded with a calm expression: "If Pei remembers correctly, it will be the third son's birthday in ten days."

"Huh?" Shen Qingzhuo subconsciously expressed doubts, but he reacted very quickly, and immediately changed his words, "It's hard for Shaofu Pei to remember my birthday."

The original owner's birthday was not clearly mentioned in the book, so he naturally had no way of knowing it. He did not expect that today was actually proposed by Pei Yanqi.

Pei Shaofu finished ordering, and changed the topic: "The third son's tea is not bad."

Shen Qingzhuo: "If Shaofu Pei likes it, I will send someone to send it to the residence later."

"Pei doesn't dare to enjoy this tea alone." Pei Yanqi said in a meaningful tone, "You and I are both on duty in the palace. If Pei misses the third son's tea, can he come uninvited?"

Shen Qingzhuo lowered his eyelashes, and said with a light smile: "Shaofu Pei came to the humble house, and it was full of brilliance. How can you call him uninvited?"

Pei Yanqi also laughed: "The third son's words are getting more and more interesting."

"Really?" Shen Qingzhuo's heart skipped a beat, but his face was as if nothing had happened, "Perhaps he has moved out and lives by himself. The place is spacious and his mind is more open."

Pei Yanqi smiled and said, "That's very good."

The two drank a cup of tea quietly, Pei Yanqi took the initiative to get up and leave.The purpose of his trip is very simple, since the words have been sent, he doesn't intend to stay any longer.

Shen Qingzhuo personally sent him out.

The two stepped out of the main hall one after the other, only to see Xiao Shen standing far away in front of the corridor, staring at them expressionlessly.

Shen Qingzhuo lowered his voice, and explained simply: "Your heart is unpredictable, and what should be done must be done."

"Third Young Master, don't worry, Pei has already found a new candidate for the lecturer." Pei Yanqi looked at the Seventh Prince, and despite the distance, he could feel that there seemed to be something hidden under the child's calm gaze. what.

He had little contact with the Seventh Prince, but he had an intuition that the Seventh Prince was not as submissive as it seemed on the surface.

"Pei Shaofu, go slowly." Shen Qingzhuo called a little eunuch, "Send Shaofu back to the East Palace."

Shen Qingzhuo watched Pei Shaofu out of sight with a smile, and then secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He moved his sore neck a little, and waved to the distant group, "Come here."

Xiao Shen stood there motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shen Qingzhuo repeated patiently: "Come here."

This time, Tuanzi moved obediently, with a poker face, walking towards him with two short legs.

Shen Qingzhuo raised his hand and rubbed his head, "Let's go, ready to start today's study."

Xiao Shen: "..."

Shen Qingzhuo ignored the little apprentice's silent protest, first checked his homework yesterday, and then continued with the new day's lecture as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Shen held back all the questions in his head, but once the class officially started, he quickly forgot all other questions and entered the state of study with all his heart.

Shen Qingzhuo touched his chin with satisfaction. The little apprentice has a very strong concentration. Since ancient times, all those who have achieved great things have had outstanding perseverance and concentration.

***

Lunch is also served in the little study.

For the first two days, Shen Qingzhuo insisted on letting Tuanzi go back to Lenggong for lunch, and then come back to continue teaching in the afternoon, these few days gradually became less strict, so he let him eat with him.

Mr. Shen's three meals have always been plentiful, and there are rules in the palace that the leftovers from the previous meal cannot be added to the next meal, and the eunuchs and maids are not allowed to eat the leftover meals from the masters.

He originally thought it was a waste, and he couldn't eat a few mouthfuls of a meal, but now that there is an extra dumpling on the table, his appetite has improved a lot.

"Eat slowly, no one will grab you." Shen Qingzhuo knocked on the table and reminded, "Don't choke."

Tuanzi shyly put down the chopsticks for grilling rice, with his mouth still full of food, like a little frog with bulging cheeks, his cheeks were motionless, only a pair of big eyes blinked, cute and funny.

"I told you to eat slowly, not to tell you not to eat." Shen Qingzhuo couldn't help laughing, and put a piece of soft braised pork into his bowl, and served him a dish of vegetables, "Meat and vegetable match, don't be picky eaters."

He looked at the dumpling that was moving his chopsticks again, and thought to himself that it was the first time for him to take care of a child like this when he grew up so big.

He is an only child and has no brothers or sisters. When he was 15 years old, his parents died in an air crash, leaving him only a huge inheritance and a company to be inherited.

He was still a teenager at the time, and his uncle took over the company and the huge inheritance as a matter of course.Fortunately, Uncle is not the kind of greedy person, at least on the surface he treats him very well, almost treating him like a little emperor.

Since he was young, he was only interested in history and culture, and never thought about managing a company. His uncle solved a difficult problem for him.

As an adult, he successfully inherited the company's shares and a huge inheritance, and then donated most of the inheritance to social welfare organizations. He still concentrates on studying, lives alone, and walks alone.

He has always thought that he is a cold-hearted person. Even if he donates money to social welfare organizations, it is not because of his love. Just want to clean up the thought of cutting off those relatives.

Therefore, from the first day he came to this world, he only regarded this place as a virtual world, completed the tasks assigned by the system as soon as possible, and then returned to his own world smoothly.

However, after getting along during this time, he found that his heart was not as cold as he imagined.When the little wolf cub, who was eating seriously, looked at him with a pair of dark and watery eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little affectionate.

Of course, what satisfies him most is that he is now taking care of the world's biggest villain.Once he successfully cultivates a new Mingjun, he will become a veritable generation of emperor teachers.

Thinking of this, Mr. Shen's smile became more and more gentle.

But Xiao Shen didn't know what was going on in Mr.'s heart at this moment, and was concentrating on solving the lunch in front of him.

The little wolf cub had been hungry for a long time, but Shen Qingzhuo forbade him to be greedy, and when he was seven or eight percent full, he handed him a handkerchief to wipe his little face, and then slowly got to the point.

"Do you know the man who came this morning?"

Xiao Shen squeezed the handkerchief tightly, "I don't know."

Shen Qingzhuo: "Tell the truth."

Xiao Shen: "...Know."

"Very well, I like honest little apprentices, and I don't like bad boys who open their mouths to tell lies." Shen Qingzhuo stared at his face, "Then are you curious in your heart, why did he come to me?"

Xiao Shen lowered his head and said slowly: "I can guess."

"What can you guess?" Shen Qingzhuo narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his voice, "How much do you know about your prince brother?"

Xiao Shen raised his head abruptly, a icy light shot out of his eyes, then quickly lowered his eyelashes, his lips were tightly closed and he did not make a sound.

Shen Qingzhuo understood that this was the signal that the little milk dog started to protect himself with his fur all over.

Still the same sentence, freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

Although he worked hard to teach Xiao Shen during this period, the bullying and torture he had suffered all year round made it difficult for the little wolf cub to completely open his mind to others.

So far, Xiao Shen still doesn't trust him enough.

Shen Qingzhuo didn't feel discouraged, but rather happy, which showed that his little apprentice was smart and cautious, and could hold his breath.

In this man-eating palace, giving trust at will is tantamount to actively exposing one's back to the enemy, which is a very dangerous behavior.

"You guessed right, but there are still many things that you can't guess." Shen Qingzhuo leaned back on the chair with a relaxed posture, "Shaofu Pei came today to persuade me to take advantage of my birthday to propose to the Holy Majesty that I will no longer be your The attendant said, go back to the East Palace."

"What?" As soon as these words came out, Xiao Shen, who was trying to keep silent, couldn't hold back for an instant, and stood up suddenly from the chair.

With a "bang", the wooden chair was brought down to the ground, making a loud noise.

Xiao Dezi, who was guarding the door, heard the noise, and hurriedly pushed the door in, "My lord! What happened?"

"It's okay." Shen Qingzhuo waved his hand calmly, "I'm talking about something with His Highness, you go out first."

Sometimes he takes care of Xiao Shen as a 12-year-old child, but sometimes he also communicates with each other on an equal footing.

Xiao Dezi had no choice but to back out worriedly.

Shen Qingzhuo: "Don't be so flustered, I told you, you have to be calm and sit down first."

After all, he was only a teenager, and his reaction was even more excited than he expected.

Xiao Shen lifted the wooden chair stiffly, and sat back on the chair.

"I only said that he proposed to me, but didn't say that I agreed." Shen Qingzhuo said casually, "Now I'm asking your opinion, what do you think?"

Xiao Shen lowered his voice extremely low: "I don't want to."

"What don't you want?" Shen Qingzhuo asked.

Xiao Shen paused, and said with difficulty: "I don't want... to change to another gentleman."

Shen Qingzhuo: "Okay, then do you want to hear my thoughts?"

Xiao Shen: "Think."

"Sir, it's not bad if you say it's good or bad." Shen Qingzhuo sat up straight, "But there is one thing, no matter what I do, I will ask for what I deserve."

The author has something to say:

Mr. Shen: Being a teacher is not a good person.

Little Wolf Cub: What a coincidence, sir, neither am I.
