"Then the Grand Tutor will have to wait for me."

Xie Rang took it very seriously.

"good……"

Even after the two left, the people in the courtyard were still somewhat dazed.

"So, was that young master the current emperor?"

"Are you stupid? The young master is the Grand Tutor. The only one who can call her 'teacher' is His Majesty!"

"His Majesty is so approachable!"

"The student taught by the young master will surely become a wise ruler in the future!"

"right!"

In no time at all, everyone had reached a strange consensus, giving the young emperor a very high evaluation.

If Yun Qing knew, she would probably be both amused and exasperated, marveling at how rich people's imaginations are.

Seeing that the rain wasn't going to stop anytime soon, Yun Qing didn't rush to send Xie Rang back. Instead, she had someone make some ginger soup and gave him a bowl to drink.

Mr. Yu has made many improvements to the method of making ginger soup. The original spiciness of ginger can hardly be tasted, leaving only a sweet taste, which suits Yun Qing's taste quite well.

Why have I never had such delicious ginger soup in modern times?

Yun Qing was actually quite clear that it was simply because no one had put in the effort to study it.

Xie Rang took another sip of ginger soup and began to understand why the Grand Tutor liked it.

"Has His Majesty dealt with the matter of improving farming methods?"

After regaining control of the palace, Lin Chen quickly won over his subordinates. His intelligence network is now taking shape and developing well. A few days will be enough for him to investigate this matter.

Yunqing sent the compiled methods to the palace as soon as possible, showing how much she valued agricultural development.

Only when the people are well-fed will there be no unrest caused by displaced people.

"I just sent him out today. He'll be accompanied by the Imperial Guards, so he won't cause any trouble. Grand Tutor, please rest assured."

Xie Rang came out today to talk to Yun Qing about this matter. He was more concerned about it and specifically instructed that if they encountered any agricultural talents on the way, they should try their best to bring them back.

Those who make significant contributions may be promoted despite not meeting the usual promotion criteria.

A generous reward will surely attract brave men; if you want to acquire talent in a short period of time, you must make some sacrifices.

"I hope he can do a good job."

Once the arrangements were made, Yun Qing stopped paying attention; she didn't believe the little tyrant hadn't made any follow-up plans.

Xie Rang felt a little jealous: "Why does the Grand Tutor always talk about other people's business and not care about me at all?"

Yun Qing was too serious. When they were together, they almost always talked about national affairs, which made Xie Rang feel that Yun Qing didn't care about him that much, and was only in this position because he was the one sitting there now.

Would the Grand Tutor have treated someone else the same way?

Xie Rang couldn't help but have some dark thoughts arising in his mind, and he felt that it was wrong for him to speculate about the Grand Tutor in this way, but he just couldn't control himself.

Yun Qing was surprised: "Isn't this showing concern for you? Qi An, you are the monarch. As long as you lay a solid foundation for the country now, you won't have to work so hard in the future."

[You ungrateful brat! If I weren't afraid you'd die young, would I have gone to all this trouble to turn things around?]

"No... Grand Tutor, that's not what I meant."

Xie Rang was annoyed, regretting his words: "The Grand Tutor always says that we are ruler and subject, but I don't want to be so distant from the Grand Tutor. I want the Grand Tutor to care about me as well as he cares about the affairs of the country."

Yun Qing paused, staring at him intently: "So that's how it is."

I misunderstood him. He's just a child who lost both his parents at a young age. What bad thoughts could he possibly have?

Xie Rang's mother died young, but the late emperor had not fulfilled any of his responsibilities as a father. Before his death, he left Xie Rang with such a mess, which was almost the same as social death in Yun Qing's mind.

"It's good that Your Majesty was able to say it."

Yun Qing knew immediately that Xie Rang had taken her words to heart; at least this time he hadn't made her guess, showing significant improvement.

"Your Majesty, I should reflect on this. Perhaps there is something I have indeed overlooked."

[I almost forgot, he wasn't even an adult yet! History books misled me; when I was doing research, I was always studying the young tyrant as he grew up. Does that mean many things can be overturned now?]

After transmigrating, Yun Qing finally felt the reality that each page of history represented a page of rise and fall. After all, these were the days she was truly living now, and they seemed to move much slower than before.

Xie Rang felt a little awkward saying it out loud, but he was mostly happy. He always felt relaxed when he was with the Grand Tutor, and the fact that he could hear his thoughts made him feel very safe. He could also learn something from him from time to time.

The Grand Tutor always regarded him as a historical figure. Xie Rang did not know what he would become in the future, but he felt that the nature of his life was different, so he wanted to break this impression.

Now it seems that we have finally achieved some results.

"It's good that the Grand Tutor thinks that way."

As they spoke, they arrived at the study door. It was the first time Yun Qing had brought the little tyrant here, and she raised her eyebrows at him: "Want to go in and take a look?"

As everyone knows, a study is a relatively secretive place, no matter where it is, especially the homes of court officials. Who knows if there is any special evidence hidden inside? Yun Qing was open and honest because there was nothing inside; it was as clean as could be.

Xie Rang nodded: "Yes."

Someone opened the study to let in some fresh air this morning, so it's not stuffy inside now. A few raindrops drifted in from the windowsill by the small couch, watering the bonsai. The lush, tender green leaves are quite pleasing to the eye.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the vase on the small table, its colorful hues polished to a crystal-clear shine.

It was the glass bottle that Xie Rang gave to Yun Qing, and Yun Qing kept her word and actually placed it in her study to admire.

"Speaking of which, the glass my mother had sent should be arriving soon. That glass is truly crystal clear. If it's big enough, I'll replace it in His Majesty's study first."

However, I believe that Mother has already considered everything carefully.

While at the border, Yun Qing showed them how she treated the young emperor. Anyone capable of handling things would know the connection and would not show favoritism in such trivial matters.

"If the Grand Tutor truly likes me, he should think more about himself and doesn't need to think about me all the time."

If it were merely a matter of the mindset between ruler and subject, Yun Qing's actions would be blameless. However, since they have already made it clear, there's no need to continue with these formalities.

"Small in stature but big in mind."

Yun Qing smiled and tapped his forehead gently, her expression warm: "You are my student and the emperor. You should be given the best. I will make sure you are not wronged. Don't think too much."

Xie Rang was not angry. He sat down next to Yun Qing, lowered his eyes, and smiled, "Grand Tutor is so good to me. I was mistaken."

However, he showed no remorse whatsoever.
