"Is the Imperial Preceptor's Hall so lively?"

Sitting in the pavilion, leisurely watching the rain fall and sipping tea, His Highness the Crown Prince uttered a lazy sound.

The subordinate next door lowered his head and said, "Yes, that's all that happened."

Nothing that happens in the palace escapes Qi Jinchao's notice.

Moreover, Xi Xingxue was his primary focus.

The teacup was placed heavily on the table, splashing a small amount of water, which wetted the mahogany, causing a dark ripple to spread out.

Qi Jinchao leaned back, his expression and manner unclear.

"Let's wait for the rain to stop and then go see what's going on."

"yes."

......

For the next few days, the capital was shrouded in continuous rain. As the emperor's beloved advisor, or rather, the emperor's darling advisor, Xi Xingxue didn't even need to attend court.

He lived a comfortable life every day, watching those officials go to work with bitter faces.

He felt more comfortable.

Indeed, happiness is always built on the suffering of others.

"Your Excellency, Imperial Preceptor."

The servants jogged through the rain and rushed to Xi Xingxue's side.

Xi Xingxue lazily raised her head, her long black hair cascading down to the ground.

Fortunately, there was a thick carpet on the floor.

Although this place is a pavilion, Xi Xingxue dislikes water seepage, so she used moisture-proof materials.

"What's up?"

Xi Xingxue raised her star-like eyes to look at him.

The servant blushed and buried his head in his chest.

"It's Xiao Yinzi. He's causing a scene in the backyard, saying he wants to see you."

"Xie Yin caused a scene in the backyard?" Xi Xingxue could hardly believe her ears upon hearing this.

How could Xie Yin, a refined and quiet young man as delicate as a jade bamboo, make such a fuss?

Is he preparing to take revenge on me?

Never mind, let's see how things go first.

“Bring him here,” Xi Xingxue said coldly.

"Here you go."

...

Noisy noises could be heard coming from a house in the backyard.

"Little Yinzi, you're nothing but an unfavored male slave. What right do you have to compete with me for the position of Grand Preceptor?"

"You're really giving me too much credit!"

"Brothers, beat him up! Teach him a lesson!"

Su'er led several teenagers and rushed forward, surrounding Xie Yin.

Clearly, wherever there are people, there is a battlefield, especially in this kind of "harem".

Once Su'er gained power, she began to establish her authority and led the crowd to bully Xie Yin.

As for why he bullied Xie Yin? It's simple: he discovered that Xie Yin was the most handsome person in the "harem".

Moreover, by sheer coincidence, Xie Yin requested to see the Grand Preceptor after the red marks on his body had disappeared!

Xie Yin stood in the center of the room, looking at the people who were about to rush over to him. His expression was cold and indifferent, and he did not react much.

He was well-read, possessing a noble and scholarly air, like a tall pine or bamboo, elegant and unparalleled.

but.

He's not someone to be trifled with.

The first person to rush over was caught by Xie Yin, who swiftly grabbed his wrist and snapped his hand with a crack.

Before the others could even react to the cracking sound, they were kicked in the abdomen and sent flying into the air like startled birds.

"ah--"

Soon, the men who were about to beat up Xie Yin all fell to the ground with screams of pain.

Su'er, the commander, was the only one left who didn't step forward. Her mouth and eyes were wide open, and she couldn't help but look at Xie Yin with a hint of fear.

"You...you know martial arts."

Xie Yin smiled gently, like a refined scholar: "I only know a little about martial arts."

With a young general as his playmate, how bad could his physical fitness be?

"It's your turn." Xie Yin became serious and walked towards Su'er step by step.

The hem of her dress swayed gently in the air, like a blooming flower.

Su'er retreated step by step, her face growing paler and paler, until her back pressed against the wall.

"Don't come any closer! I'm the Imperial Advisor's favorite person!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yin paused slightly, and the image of Xi Xingxue's outrageous face flashed through his mind.

He felt somewhat puzzled.

Why do these people compete for favor?

Weren't they all forced to come in?

So many people like him?

Just as Su'er was watching helplessly as Xie Yin was about to break her hand.

"Smack!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and the face of the servant beside Xi Xingxue appeared in front of them.

Xie Yin and Su'er turned their heads and their eyes met.

Su'er almost cried tears of joy: "Did an adult come to call me over?"

The man completely ignored Su'er and said to Xie Yin, "Little Yinzi, the master has agreed to see you."

"What?"

Su'er's heart shattered slightly, her body swayed in disbelief for a few moments, then she angrily pointed at Xie Yin: "My lord, do you want to see him?"

The servant grunted in response: "Why are you so talkative? It's none of your business."

With that, he led Xie Yin away.

Su'er was left alone in the room, heartbroken. Then her companions got up from the ground and angrily raised their fists to strike him.

......

The rain stopped sometime later.

Xi Xingxue stepped onto the pebbly path, her shoes making no sound as they trod on the damp stones.

A verdant branch overhead swayed, with a drop or two of rain about to fall.

He looked up and broke off this branch.

This was the scene that appeared in Xie Yin's eyes when he walked over.
