Chapter 424 Chapter 424 The fish about to jump onto the chopping block...

It's over——

Lord Xiao Hu watched Hu Zhidong walk away in despair.

Grandma, Grandma, please bless our descendants in heaven!

"Master Hu."

Li De came out of the palace and was about to prepare snacks for the little fish to take with him during his studies.

This time, Su Wu learned his lesson and did not dare to feed the slow-reacting little fish anything random. He asked Imperial Physician Zhang to check each of the foods and snacks, which were basically good for the spleen and stomach.

The little guy hasn't eaten anything good.

These things were enough to appease him.

So Li De hurried out of the house and saw this scene - Lord Hu's whole face was gloomy, and he looked at the palace where Su Wu lived behind him reluctantly -

Although there is no morning court today, this Lord Hu must have brought Lord Hu Zhidong here.

At this moment, I am reluctant to leave...

Li De was a little confused.

He is quite ignorant.

Is the relationship between father and son so good?

"Master Hu, have you had breakfast?"

Li De looked at him with a smile and greeted him in a very worldly-wise manner.

After all, if it's appropriate.

For a long time afterwards, he would have to deal with this Lord Hu.

Li De had a friendly and gentle smile.

But unfortunately, he had been with Su Wu for too long.

When Lord Hu, who was already a frightened bird, looked at him, it was as if he heard Li De saying - Lord Hu, are the nine clans of your family ready?

Mr. Hu: ...

Anyone with poor mental quality would faint on the spot.

"No, no, not ready."

Lord Hu waved his hands repeatedly.

"Butler Li, Butler Li, I, I have other things to do. I, I'm leaving first—"

Li De: ...?

What's not ready yet?

He had a hard time understanding what Mr. Hu was saying.

Is this a cultured person?

Oh hey, it is indeed different.

Lord Hu left the palace quickly.

Woo woo woo, Dad, please don’t play the Nine Clans Elimination Game in the palace.

*

Hu Zhidong stroked his beard and followed the palace maid all the way to the imperial study in the rear hall of the palace.

Along the way, there are carved corridors and painted walls, and all you see are the luxurious palaces of the previous dynasty.

Hu Zhidong had resigned from his official position a long time ago and had not been to the palace for a long time.

There hasn't been much change in the entire palace.

Occasionally there is a tough style - it can be seen that these seem to be changes made by His Majesty Su Wu.

His Majesty Su Wu was very dissatisfied with the decoration of this palace in the past, but did he still have to live here for so long?

Hu Zhidong had been thinking about observing his surroundings carefully and catching all the little tricks of Su Wu - but at this moment, his arrogance was slightly restrained.

Well, it seems that His Majesty has no problem in this regard.

However, the decoration of the previous dynasty was indeed luxurious and extravagant, so this cannot be seen.

As for your Majesty's offspring—they must be lawless little devils just like your Majesty, right?!

He is ready.

Since he is going to be the teacher.

Then everything would be done according to his wishes—he would make this little devil...

"Master Hu, we're here."

The palace maids made way and looked at Hu Zhidong with a proud look on his face.

It's exciting, but I don't know what he's excited about.

"The young prince is in the house."

Lord Hu was stunned for a moment. He coughed lightly and walked into the imperial study in a serious manner.

This place is very different from the last time Lord Hu came.

The furnishings have changed, from those extravagant and luxurious tables and chairs to simple decorations.

However, you can also see that there is a little master here - the corners of tables, chairs and benches are wrapped in soft fabrics to prevent children from bumping into them when running.

Hu Zhidong stood outside in a daze for a few seconds.

There were the sounds of footsteps approaching from a distance.

Hu Zhidong was stunned and turned to look over.

At the door of the inner room.

There was a short little fellow blinking his big eyes, clinging to the door, looking at him softly.

That was a beautiful, white and chubby baby.

There is a vermilion koi pattern between the eyebrows.

Hu Zhidong was truly stunned.

This is——the little prince???

The little devil he imagined?

No, apart from having a slight resemblance to Your Majesty in appearance, is there anything else similar?

"Master Hu."

Behind the cub, the building age follows closely behind.

"Yuyu, this is Master Hu, your teacher."

Hu Zhidong quickly saluted.

The little fish took a while to react, and suddenly he remembered something, and he held up the fruit in his hand.

"A gift for the teacher."

I don’t know where the little fish learned this from, but he should give gifts when meeting someone for the first time.

Hu Zhidong didn't finish his words before he was controlled by the little fish and quickly took the fruit.

"Yuyu has never learned anything before. She needs to start from the very basics. Your Majesty is not very good at teaching, so I'm troubling Elder Hu. I wonder if Elder Hu is ready?"

Lou Ling followed Xiaoyu and said.

“Ah, I…”

Hu Zhidong was thinking about the examples he had prepared for dealing with various issues in Suwu, which he wanted to learn from.

He swallowed.

Look at that cute little girl with red lips and white teeth.

The little fish seemed to have just realized what was happening. He told Lou Ling in a baby voice, and also told the stranger in front of him: "Yu Yu is smart. Daddy said Yu Yu learns things very quickly."

The three-year-old cub is so small, and it is so cute when it blinks its eyes at you earnestly.

Because they can't think about too many things at once, the little cubs take everything very seriously.

"Is that right?"

The little guy leaned against the door, looking at Hu Zhidong hesitantly.

Lord Hu, who had debated with scholars in the court and was upright and incorruptible, was stunned.

After a long pause, Hu Zhidong replied, "Yes."

He entered the study in a daze and watched the little cub being carried onto the bench by Lou Ling.

He didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at this moment.

All he could think about was—why?! Why on earth could Su Wu have such a cute and adorable offspring?

At this moment, the little fish tilted his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly said to Lou Ling in a low voice.

"Brother Xiaolou."

The little fish's eyes sparkled as he stretched out his little hands to gesture.

"Yuyu reacts quickly, but the teacher reacts slowly."

Building age: ...

Hu Zhidong suddenly came back to his senses:...What?

Lou Ling: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Hu, the young prince was originally a mountain spirit and has never been exposed to human things, so his reaction is a little slow. He needs to adapt step by step."

How much slower?

Hu Zhidong subconsciously went to look for those literacy books first, thinking about how to adjust his progress.

"That's not a big deal. Some children need to fully grasp the knowledge when they first start learning, so sometimes they just react a little slower."

Before Hu Zhidong finished speaking, the little fish cub, whose hands were resting on the small table, suddenly spoke up: "Daddy said that Yuyu's reactions are much faster now."

He speaks in a baby voice.

But it doesn’t match what I just said.

Hu Zhidong thought about it for a while, and he realized the seriousness of the problem belatedly.

Your Majesty... is it true that he has no way of teaching at all?

Could it be that he had found a way to torture me?

Hu Zhidong still had the "gift" given to him by the little guy in his clothes. He picked up the book and thought so.

But it was not as exaggerated as Hu Zhidong thought.

The little fish's reaction is a little slow, but Su Wu has trained him a lot during this period. In addition, when he concentrates fully, his reaction is actually not slow, it's just that his brain is easily overloaded.

The little fish is not used to this and will feel tired after a while.

And at this moment - Master Hu felt that he had been confused by the little fish calling him "teacher". He still insisted that he wanted to teach a wise ruler, but when he saw the little fish resting his little face on the table and blinking his big eyes at him, Master Hu coughed lightly.

"Your Highness is still young. Don't be anxious. Just take your time."

He is very principled.

"Your Highness, please review today's lessons. We will gradually speed up our lessons in the future."

Lord Hu said to the little fish.

There was a piece of paper spread out in front of Yu Yu, with some strokes drawn on the paper, a little crooked, making up some simple fonts.

The little guy's face was pressed on the table. He was not paying attention and some black spots were smeared on his fair cheek. He was unable to react and looked over in confusion.

At the age when he loves little guys like this the most, Lord Hu tried hard to resist the urge to take another look at the little fish cub and packed his things - his main task was to teach the little fish cub in the morning, and His Majesty had other arrangements for the little fish in the afternoon.

As a result, nothing he planned happened.

The little fish boy only reacted at this time. He looked down at the things in front of him, and then looked at the building behind him.

He stretched out his little hand and let Lou Ling carry him down. He walked to Hu Zhidong and insisted on sending him out.

There was still ink on the little face. Lou Ling was waiting behind him with a handkerchief in his hand. The white and black little fish just looked at him in a silly and cute way.

—And even so polite!

Hu Zhidong came out of the palace.

Master Xiao Hu is waiting outside.

Seeing him come out safe and sound, I was overjoyed.

"Dad, how is it?"

"I've been bewitched. I've been bewitched—"

Hu Zhidong muttered softly.

"Why!"

Hu Zhidong walked in front with his sleeves swung. This old stubborn man reviewed his performance today and felt that it was a bit unsatisfactory.

Lord Xiao Hu looked at his father and walked away with a sigh.

He looked at the palace blankly, then looked at his father blankly.

"No, Dad, please explain clearly what happened! What about His Majesty? Did you see Him? Oh, no, I guess not. He said he was about to meet with the envoys from the North Sea—no, so why did he disappear?! Please explain clearly!"

Thanks to our Tainanny's blessing, are all our nine clans safe?

At the same time, a group of people in the North Sea were completely confused.

They entered the city and were waiting to be received.

Everyone looked at them in a particularly... strange way.

The kind that tries to put on a friendly smile, but still feels a little twisted.

—like watching a fish about to jump onto the chopping block.
