Chapter 3615 is embarrassing

Xinping immediately smiled at him with his eyes curved: "Teacher!"

Liu Yueze couldn't believe his eyes.

Of course, he knew why he was transferred from the capital to Shu, thousands of miles away, and why he could not return to the capital for all these years. Therefore, although the two of them could be said to have a teacher-student relationship, he was still very low-key and cautious when he returned to the capital this time. Not to mention that he did not tell Her Royal Highness the Princess, if the Imperial Concubine did not show up on her own initiative, he would not even plan to meet the Imperial Concubine.

After finishing his discussions with the emperor in the imperial study, he quickly returned to the post station, packed up and prepared to set off the next day, hoping to leave the capital one day earlier and return to Shu one day earlier so that he could be "safe".

But I didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess would come to me.

Looking at her squinting her eyes and smiling so happily, Liu Yueze didn't know what to say for a moment, and he was also unresponsive standing at the door. There were not many people coming and going, but seeing the two of them facing each other like this still attracted some people's attention.

Xinping put his hands behind his back and smiled, "Teacher, you just want me to stand at the door?"

“…”

Liu Yueze hesitated for a moment and could only take a step back: "Princess, please come in."

Xinping walked in happily.

This is the first-class room of the post house. The room is very large, the bed is clean, and the furniture is gorgeous. There is even a faint pleasant fragrance in the air, which comes from the incense burner on the table.

Xinping walked in, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction.

It's like looking at where you live.

Liu Yueze looked solemnly at this student he hadn't seen for many years and said with mixed feelings, "Why is Your Highness here?"

Xinping turned around to look at him and said with a smile, "I heard that the teacher has come to Beijing. As a student, I have to come to see the teacher and say hello to him!"

Liu Yueze smiled and said, "I only taught the princess a few words back then. I'm not qualified to be called a teacher."

The smile on Xinping's face slowly faded: "Teacher, don't you want to see me?"

“…”

Liu Yueze's mood was also extremely complicated, but looking at the charming princess's eager expression, thinking that it must have been difficult for her to come here today, he finally sighed, a smile appeared on his face, and then he said: "After several years of separation, Your Highness the Princess has grown so much."

There was a hint of relief in his tone as he spoke.

Xinping immediately laughed.

She glanced around again and said, "Didn't the teacher bring any followers?"

Liu Yueze said, "There are still many things waiting for me to deal with in Shu. I won't stay in the capital for too long, so I will travel light."

Xinping pouted: "Teacher, such a high-ranking official, how could you do this?"

Liu Yueze smiled and said, "The higher the official you hold, the less likely you are to show off."

As they talked, the two of them seemed to have returned to the study room. Facing such a little princess from a wealthy family, Liu Yueze was also patient and persuasive, teaching her everything he knew and learned bit by bit. Although they had been apart for more than ten years, it seemed that they had quickly closed the distance between each other.

Even the little friction in the middle disappeared without a trace as the two people gradually became more relaxed.

Xinping listened to his words, pondered them for a moment, and nodded gently: "Father often says so."

After she finished speaking, she saw that there were no more cluttered things in the room. There was a bundle placed on the corner of the bed, which should be the luggage that had been simply packed. There were also a few boxes of Zhiweizhai snacks on the table, which he had obviously bought and planned to take back with his luggage.

So he smiled and said, "Teacher likes to eat these things too? I also -"

Before she finished speaking, Liu Yueze smiled and said, "It's not that I like to eat it, it's my son who likes to eat it."

“…”

Xinping was stunned for a moment: "Son?"

Liu Yueze said, "By the way, I haven't told Your Highness the Princess yet that you have a mistress and a younger apprentice brother in Shu. My son is five years old this year."

“…”

Xinping blinked and said nothing, as if he was digesting this sudden news.

After a long while, he said, "Ah."

She seemed a little dazed, and her face showed no emotion. After a while, she walked to the table and said, "Well, then I'll help the teacher clean up."

In fact, seeing her coming, Liu Yueze was a little surprised and felt a little troubled - after all, he had finally made some achievements and did not want to be demoted to a farther place because of Her Royal Highness the Princess - but he also knew in his heart that the little friction at the beginning was just the result of Her Royal Highness the Princess's young age and her wild imagination. Now she is older and more sensible, and the two have been separated for so many years. The princess, who has seen a lot, will definitely not have any thoughts about him, an "old man".

Now seeing her reaction, Liu Yueze didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this moment, there was a very rude sound of heavy footsteps outside the door, and a familiar voice said even more rudely: "Liu Yueze, open the door for me!"

This voice is Si Muyun!

Xinping was startled when she heard her uncle's voice, and although Liu Yueze was also panicked for a moment, he quickly calmed down and walked over to open the door.

The person standing outside the door was Si Muyun.

As the emperor's uncle, with a long career in government and a trusted minister, Simuyun's temperament had become increasingly sophisticated and steady over the years, and he had the demeanor of a noble man in the court. However, after leaving court, he became less formal, dressed respectably, and his demeanor relaxed, looking less like an official and more like a wealthy man of some age.

When he saw Liu Yueze at this moment, he immediately raised his fist and smashed it straight into the latter's chest, making a loud thud. Then he said, "You are really mean, old man. You didn't even tell me in advance that you were returning to Beijing!"

Liu Yueze and he were both students of Gu Tingqiu. They were from the same school and had a brotherly relationship. Although they had not seen each other for more than ten years and there were so many unspeakable things in the officialdom, some simple and pure feelings remained unchanged.

He also smiled and said, "Brother Mu Yun, why are you here?"

Si Muyun said, "You are such a decent person. You didn't tell me before you returned to Beijing, and you didn't tell me after you returned. You just asked someone to bring a few bags of pickles to your uncle. Isn't this infuriating? I am scolding you on behalf of your teacher."

As she spoke, she reached out and pushed him away, then walked in on her own.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Princess Xinping standing in the room. He was stunned: "This——"

Xinping looked at him and laughed awkwardly: "Uncle..."

Si Muyun's expression changed suddenly.
