Dressed as the teacher of the Black Lotus Emperor

In the imperial study room, it was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling.

Shen Qingzhuo was kneeling on the ground, but his tone was neither humble nor overbearing, and his posture was as tall and straight as a bamboo, as if he was just stating an ordinary thing.

Sitting behind the desk, Emperor Guangxi looked down at the young man kneeling in the hall with inscrutable eyes. After a long while, he said slowly, "Qing Zhuo's words are too self-effacing."

Shen Qingzhuo: "My humble minister is dull."

"I see that you are clever and clever, why are you being so stupid?" Emperor Guangxi praised without hesitation, "Your father is the famous king of Zhenbei, and your elder brother is a mighty general. As for you, Even though he is still young, his body is weak, and he has never been on a battlefield, but the tiger father has no dogs, so I am relieved to entrust the Seventh Prince to you."

Shen Qingzhuo laughed secretly in his heart, but his face became more and more embarrassed: "The emperor loves you, Qing Zhuo is ashamed."

Emperor Guangxi said again: "It's okay for the Seventh Prince to be young and dull. There are still a few older brothers on his head. It's not his turn to be the pillar. I don't ask him to be proficient in all aspects of literature and military affairs, and to understand filial piety, loyalty, trustworthiness, Etiquette, righteousness and shame are enough, you can teach them with peace of mind."

"Since the emperor trusts me so much, I dare not refuse." Shen Qingzhuo seemed relieved, and said earnestly, "Qingzhuo must do his best to live up to the emperor's love."

"Okay!" Emperor Guangxi got a satisfactory answer, and seeing that the young people in the hall became more and more pleasing to the eye, he left him to have dinner with him.

Shen Qingzhuo had no choice but to accept the gift from the Holy One with great flattery.

He ate his lunch cautiously, and when Emperor Guangxi asked him, he would mostly go around calmly, and occasionally he would show his naivete and stupidity unintentionally, which made Emperor Guangxi laugh out loud.

If such a thousand-year-old fox is impeccable and flawless in front of him, it is the biggest flaw.

Young Master Shen was good-looking, his every move was elegant and calm, he pursed his lips and smiled when he raised his eyes to reply, Emperor Guangxi looked at it especially pleasing to the eye, and ordered Su Gonggong to fetch a fine white fox fur and gave it to him.

Shen Qingzhuo immediately put on the fox fur, and felt that it was light and warm, and it was indeed a good thing.

He thanked the Holy Lord Long En again, and when he was about to step back, he suddenly heard Emperor Guangxi ask: "Can the servants in the Jiyue Pavilion take advantage of it? I'll send you a few smarter maids, okay?"

Shen Qingzhuo thought about it, and replied: "Most of the people in Jiyue Pavilion are from the East Palace now, so I can take advantage of it."

"Forget it." Emperor Guangxi leaned back on the chair thoughtfully, and waved his hand after a while, "I'm tired, you should step back today."

"Yes." Shen Qingzhuo retreated respectfully.

Eunuch Su sent him to the gate of the palace, Shen Qingzhuo slightly nodded: "Eunuch Su doesn't have to send him far away."

"Then our family will go back to serve the sage." Su Gonggong said with a smile, "Young Master Shen, return to the palace slowly."

Shen Qingzhuo turned around and stepped down the stairs, walking back slowly.

He has a good memory and a strong sense of direction, and he is sure to return to Jiyue Pavilion with the impression he had when he came.

He walked all the way back, and before he knew it, Jiyue Pavilion was in front of him, but suddenly he was stopped by a little eunuch.

"Young master, please stay."

"It's you." Shen Qingzhuo recognized him, this person was clearly the little eunuch who invited him to the East Palace last time.

The little eunuch bowed and saluted: "My son's birthday is approaching, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially held a banquet in the East Palace, and invited you to the banquet."

Shen Qingzhuo couldn't help but rolled his eyes secretly, the original owner's birthday had clearly not yet arrived, why one or two were more anxious than him?

Once a stranger and acquainted twice, he went to the East Palace again. Shen Qingzhuo was a little calmer than last time. He stood at the door and adjusted his facial expression before stepping into the inner hall.

As soon as he entered the gate of the palace, the prince was not the only one who greeted his eyes.

"Oh, Brother Shou Xing is here!" A teenager about fifteen or sixteen years old stood up first, his baby face had not yet faded from the youthful feeling, and his appearance was somewhat similar to that of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Shen Qingzhuo didn't know who the princes were, so he said in unison: "Your Highness, Your Highness the Prince."

Xiao Yichen said in a friendly tone: "Why did you come so fast?"

"When I returned to Jiyue Pavilion just now, I happened to meet someone from the East Palace at the door." Shen Qingzhuo replied indifferently, "I turned around and came to see Your Highness."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was about to ask something, but the young man said in surprise, "Brother Qing Zhuo, the fox fur you are wearing is probably rewarded by your father, right?"

Xiao Yichen's eyes instantly fell on the white fox fur.

Shen Qingzhuo: "Why, Your Highness recognizes this fox fur?"

"Of course I recognize it!" The young man went around the table and quickly walked in front of him, "The third brother hunted a rare white fox last autumn, and later made this fox fur, my father has always loved it!"

"Your Highness is right, this fox fur was indeed rewarded to me by the sage just now." Shen Qingzhuo didn't expect the fox fur to have such a history, but it was exactly what he wanted.

The young man's eyes were tight: "Can I touch it?"

"Fifth brother, don't trouble your elder brother Qing Zhuo." At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke, and said, "It turns out that Qing Zhuo has gone to meet the emperor."

Shen Qingzhuo: "Exactly."

Xiao Yichen seemed to be joking and said: "Pearls and jade are in front of me, and the birthday gift that I am going to give you alone, doesn't it seem worth mentioning?"

"Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away is light in gift and affectionate." Shen Qingzhuo smiled lightly, "What's more, the gift His Royal Highness wants to give me on my birthday will not be a feather, will it?"

"Hahaha!" His Royal Highness couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, "Qing Zhuo is really getting more and more lonely!"

Shen Qingzhuo smiled but said nothing, untied the fox fur tie with his slender and beautiful fingers, took it off and handed it to the Fifth Prince, "Your Highness can touch it as you like, just remember to return it."

After all, it is a royal gift and cannot be given to others at will.

Xiao Jingrui happily took the fox fur, hugged it in his arms, and said happily, "Brother Qing Zhuo, you were sick and away last autumn, so you couldn't see the heroic figure of third brother when he shot and hunted this fox! At that time, he -"

"Okay, who knows your third brother's heroic deeds?" Xiao Yichen interrupted him, "The protagonist of today's banquet is Qing Zhuo, so let's not brag about your third brother."

"Oh, okay." Xiao Jingrui reluctantly closed his mouth, and returned to his seat with the fox fur in his arms.

Shen Qingzhuo didn't intervene in the conversation between the two brothers, secretly thinking that the fifth prince has no heart, and he would not be afraid that His Royal Highness, whose heart is smaller than the tip of a needle, would be unhappy if he praised the third prince in front of the prince.

After sitting down, as soon as Shen Qingzhuo picked up the teacup, he heard the prince ask: "Qingzhuo, what did the emperor call you, what did you talk about?"

He replied lightly: "It's just some commonplace."

Xiao Yichen paused for a moment, and asked directly: "Father, did you ask about the homework of the seventh younger brother?"

"Speaking of this." Shen Qingzhuo looked up at the prince, frowning slightly, "Your Majesty put some pressure on me."

Xiao Yichen: "Tell me carefully?"

"I reported that the Seventh Prince's talent is dull and it's difficult to teach." Shen Qingzhuo sighed softly, "But what the Holy One meant, since I have been the Seventh Prince's attendant, I should teach some results, otherwise..."

Xiao Yichen frowned: "What does royal father think?"

"One more thing..." Shen Qingzhuo glanced at him, hesitant to speak.

Xiao Yichen immediately signaled to the fifth prince: "Fifth brother, go outside and play for a while, I will discuss something with your elder brother Qing Zhuo."

"Okay!" The fifth prince obediently ran out without doubting him.

The prince turned his gaze to Shen Qingzhuo again: "But it's okay to say."

Shen Qingzhuo said in a low voice: "The Holy Majesty wants to replace all the people who took me from the East Palace to Jiyue Pavilion."

The prince's face darkened: "What's your father's intention?"

Shen Qingzhuo continued: "Even after I moved to Jiyue Pavilion, I went back to the East Palace a few times, the Holy Majesty knows everything about it."

As soon as this remark came out, the Crown Prince's face became even uglier.

"The Holy Majesty never likes it. Some people make small moves under his nose, maybe he has heard some rumors." Shen Qingzhuo concluded worriedly, "Your heart is unpredictable, just in case, it is better for me to visit the East Palace less in the future .”

***

Shen Qingzhuo's words made His Royal Highness feel like a thorn in his throat, but he was the one who invited him, and according to the original plan, he held a lively birthday banquet for Mr. Shen.

All the guests attending the banquet were members of the Eastern Palace. As the protagonist of the banquet, Young Master Shen accepted the birthday gifts presented by everyone one by one. The most gratifying thing was watching the prince's face with a strong smile while eating.

Since ancient times, the relationship between the Eastern Palace and the emperor has been naturally tense, and the absolute monarchy has always been difficult to tolerate the division of imperial power by the Eastern Palace.

Since contradictions exist objectively, as long as there is a little provocation, the fire of contradictions will show the potential of starting a prairie fire, and it will be out of control.

Of course, he just took the opportunity to plant a small seed today, and patiently waited for the day when the ground would break through and germinate.

As the time of Xu approached, the banquets ended one after another. Shen Qingzhuo cupped his hands and bid farewell to His Highness the Crown Prince.

The crown prince didn't keep him any longer, but only asked the little eunuch to send Mr. Shen back to Jiyue Pavilion safely.

Shen Qingzhuo returned to Jiyue Pavilion, drank a cup of tea to hangover, and then remembered that he had spent the whole day outside and forgot about his little apprentice.

He called Xiao Dezi and asked, "What did His Highness the Seventh Prince do today?"

"Since you left, my lord, His Highness has been staying alone in the small study. During lunch, the servants bring food in. His Highness is full after a few mouthfuls." Go in, His Highness is gone."

Shen Qingzhuo frowned slightly: "Okay."

He changed into a robe, wiped his face and hands, cleaned up briefly, and prepared to go quietly to the cold palace again.

There was complete silence in the night, he closed the door lightly, and as soon as he walked into the yard, he heard a rustling sound at the tips of his ears.

"Who?" He tensed up, looking at the source of the voice, his slightly drunk brain turned quickly, thinking about how he could save himself if the other party came in a bad way.

But soon, he put back the heart that was in his throat.

The one who slowly came out from behind the pillar was not the little apprentice he was going to find.

"In the middle of the night, what are you hiding here for?" Shen Qingzhuo strolled over, "Just to scare me?"

Xiao Shen stood where he was, without saying a word, his dark eyes stuck tightly to his face.

"Or—" Shen Qingzhuo stopped walking and said with a smile, "Are you waiting for me on purpose?"

Tonight, the moon is shining brightly and the stars are sparse, reflecting the crimson complexion of the people under the moon, as bright as peaches and plums. Mr. Shen is standing with his hands behind his back, full of smiles, and his beauty is breathtaking.

Xiao Shen felt a little dizzy for a moment, but still kept in mind the reason why he was waiting here, and asked, "Why didn't you, sir, come back today?"

"Ah..." Shen Qingzhuo deliberately prolonged the ending, "Because sir not only met your father today, but also went to the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace."

Xiao Shen's expression changed, his toes unconsciously dawdled back and forth on the ground, and his voice was tense: "What did they say? Is it related to me?"

Shen Qingzhuo knew that he was still thinking about the incident a few days ago, and waited carefully until now, because he was afraid that he would suddenly change his mind.

"You!" Mr. Shen patted the forehead of the little apprentice affectionately, "You are not big, but you have more eyes than anyone else."

Xiao Shen's heart felt sore, he opened his big wet eyes, and silently raised his head to look up at Mr.

Like a little puppy that was abandoned, it finally found its owner after a lot of hard work, but it didn't dare to go forward. It just pricked up its little ears pitifully, hoping that the owner would take the initiative to hug him.

With a thought in mind, Shen Qingzhuo raised his hand to stroke the back of the little apprentice's fluffy head, and said almost sighing: "How many times do I have to say it before you are willing to believe that Mister really won't abandon you easily?"
