Xiao Jingzhao didn't stand on ceremony and relaxed as if he were at home.

He untied his cloak and tossed it onto the back of a round-backed chair, then rolled up his sleeves and sat down opposite Jiang Shuyue.

His gaze fell on Xue'er, whether he was attracted by her soft and cute appearance or by gazing at and stroking her delicate fingers, it was unclear.

“Moon Mother, you have to understand. Sui Sui is not an ordinary child. In the future, he will have more responsibilities on his shoulders than others, so he also needs to know more than others.”

Xiao Jingzhao paused and then said, "Only then will he be invincible."

Did Sui Sui say he didn't like what the teacher assigned?

Jiang Shuyue wholeheartedly agreed with Xiao Jingzhao's statement, but she also hoped that her son would find learning easy and enjoyable.

Xiao Jingzhao seemed to see through Jiang Shuyue's thoughts and continued, "Sui Sui has excellent comprehension. The people I have assigned are all extraordinary individuals, so Sui Sui naturally likes them."

Jiang Shuyue was unaware that Zhen Jingxiu's parents had already returned to the capital from their travels.

Upon learning the news, Xiao Jingzhao summoned Zhen Jingxiu's father, Zhen Shuo.

The two talked privately in the imperial study for nearly an hour. From that day on, Zhen Shuo often stayed in the palace to give Sui Sui private lessons.

Those who know Sui Sui's true identity are well aware that Zhen Shuo currently lacks a legitimate reason to act, but on the day Sui Sui is recognized as a member of the family, he will become the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Qiuju placed the hot tea in front of Xiao Jingzhao with both hands.

Thank you.

Xiao Jingzhao nodded politely as always, then looked at Jiang Shuyue and said, "You've taken such good care of Xue'er. I've missed her terribly since I haven't seen her for two days."

"Pfft! Cough cough cough..."
