Jiang Shiyuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a group of civil and military officials in official robes standing on a stone path not far away. Standing in the middle of the officials was the tall and graceful Pei Che, the tutor she kept thinking of.

It was too late to cover her mouth. Jiang Shiyuan just wanted to find a hole to hide in, but Xie Ruoruo, the bad guy, held her hand tightly and didn't let her escape.

In a panic, Jiang Shiyuan had to use brute force to pull Xie Ruoruo into the bushes nearby.

No one saw it! No one saw it!

Jiang Shiyuan hid in the bushes, buried his head on his knees, and prayed continuously.

Oh my god!

How can a person keep losing face like this? !

She really is dead!

Perhaps panic can make people relax their senses. Even though they were so far away, Jiang Shiyuan could still hear the laughter coming from the crowd.

Maybe it wasn't her sensitivity, but the sheer number of people on the other end.

It was the time for the morning court to be dismissed, and this was the only way out of the Jinluan Palace.

In other words, could it be said that she flirted with the imperial tutor in front of all the civil and military officials?

Which good girl would speak so rudely and wildly?

Xie Ruoruo was right, she was finished!

Jiang Shiyuan wanted to cry but had no tears. She just buried her head even lower. She didn't even have the courage to look up. She just hoped that Pei Che would turn a blind eye and leave quickly with his men.

Xie Ruoruo on the side was in high spirits and gloating. She held Jiang Shiyuan tightly to prevent her from running away out of shame, and at the same time stared closely in Pei Che's direction.

Imperial Tutor Pei often walks before the Emperor, and everyone in the palace knows about it. Imperial Tutor Pei is pure-hearted and has few worldly desires. He hates women trying to get close to him for no reason, and if they get a little close to him, he will be disgusted and expelled.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many years without any trace of women around Master Pei, let alone talk of marriage.

Only Jiang Shiyuan was so bold as to blaspheme Master Pei!

Look at how Master Pei touches her face! snort!

Xie Ruoruo pricked up her ears and stared ahead expectantly, only to see the ministers burst into laughter. At this moment, Pei Che said something to them.

Xie Ruoruo didn't hear it because they were too far away, but she saw that after the officials heard Pei Che's words, they stared with their eyes wide open and their mouths open. They looked even more shocked than when she heard Jiang Shiyuan say that she liked Master Pei.

Then, the ministers bowed to Master Pei. At this time, a few words floated over. Xie Ruoruo heard clearly that they were saying "congratulations, congratulations".

Congratulations?

Congratulations to whom?

Master Pei was promoted? He is already the Grand Tutor, where else can he go?

Xie Ruoruo was distracted for a moment, and when she looked back, she saw the ministers dispersing, and Master Pei walking towards where they were.

Xie Ruoruo immediately reported to Jiang Shiyuan's ear: "Here he comes, here he comes, your favorite Master Pei is here, he's here to see you."

Jiang Shiyuan buried her head, wishing she could pull out Xie Ruoruo's tongue. She should have let Xie Ruoruo fall from the tree and become a mute at best. Why did she save her? !

Seeing Pei Che getting closer and closer, Xie Ruoruo had no intention of letting Jiang Shiyuan go. She excitedly nudged Jiang Shiyuan with her elbow: "Don't you like Master Pei? Now that he's here, you can say it again in person!"

No guts.

Jiang Shiyuan is a coward.

At this moment, Jiang Shiyuan just wanted to escape, escape from Xie Ruoruo, this terrible woman!

Jiang Shiyuan heard footsteps and Pei Che was already approaching, but he only saw a few palace maids and not the real master.

Pei Che stood still, and suddenly a figure emerged from the bush beside him.

"Master, Jiang Shiyuan is here." Xie Ruoruo stood up and pointed at Jiang Shiyuan who was squatting nearby.

"Master, did you hear that just now? Miss Jiang, the Miss from the General's Mansion, the niece of Concubine Jiang, your former student Jiang Shiyuan -"

Afraid that Pei Che didn't remember, Xie Ruoruo introduced him in great detail: "She said that you, Master, are elegant and noble, and she has admired you for a long time."

Xie Ruoruo repeated the sound of "꺗꺶". Jiang Shiyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up to cover Xie Ruoruo's mouth.

"Well... Jiang Shiyuan, you are committing insubordination!" Xie Ruoruo scolded.

Jiang Shiyuan now not only wanted to commit treason, she even wanted to kill him. She covered Xie Ruoruo's mouth and said through gritted teeth, "The civil and military officials haven't gone far yet. Believe it or not, I will tell the world that you wet the bed at the age of seven and fell into the toilet at the age of eight, and you will be ruined!"

This woman! !

So cruel!

Princess 깇 is exhausted, but it doesn't matter, she can't touch her, isn't there still Master Pei?

Master Pei will make all the bad women who covet him look bad!

Xie Ruoruo closed her mouth and looked at Pei Che expectantly.

Master Pei, scold her!

Just like you scolded the princess in the Shangshufang!

Pei Che looked at the two people in front of him, their hairpins tilted and their hair crooked, twisted into a ball. One was looking at him with great interest, while the other looked as if she had seen a ghost, her eyes dodging. Her originally pale little face was now as red as if blood could drip, even redder than yesterday, as if she would rush out if he let go.

"Have you left the palace and returned home?" Pei Che asked.

The tone was gentle, as if nothing had happened.

Um?

Xie Ruoruo was disappointed, why was she so kind? How come there isn't even a cold look?

Master Pei, are you still the Master Pei who is not interested in women and frowns when someone touches him? !

She was so disappointed!

Xie Ruoruo was feeling disappointed, but the next scene shocked her.

Because Pei Che not only did not reprimand Jiang Shiyuan, but took the initiative to invite him, saying, "I'll take you there."

ah?

Xie Ruoruo glanced at Master Pei in disbelief. Master Pei had a clear and bright look on his face, without a trace of displeasure, let alone disgust.

Xie Ruoruo turned around to look at Jiang Shiyuan, whose face was red as if it was on fire.

Jiang Shiyuan just nodded and said "hmm".

Clam?

What's going on?

It would have been fine if Master Pei had offered to send Jiang Shiyuan out of the palace, but Jiang Shiyuan actually agreed?

When did Jiang Shiyuan become so thick-skinned?

Xie Ruoruo was stunned, her mouth was wide open enough to fit an egg.

Jiang Shiyuan originally refused.

Not only was her face flushed and hot, she felt that her blood and brain were about to boil. She didn't even dare to look at Pei Che, let alone be with him.

But just as she said no, a memory that she had tried so hard to bury yesterday suddenly broke out from her boiling brain.

Last time, Pei Che also said he would give it to her, but in the end -

Does she dare to refuse?

Dare not! She is very spineless.

"Come out first."

Pei Che extended a hand towards Jiang Shiyuan, palm facing up.

…

At this time, Fang and Pei Che's ministers had arrived at the palace gate, and they seemed to have come to their senses.

An old man realized it later and asked, "Isn't Mr. Fang hearing it correctly? What did Master Pei say? Inside?"

The other person nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "That's right! Master Pei is talking about——"

The man put one hand in front of him, held his head high, and said word by word, imitating Master Pei's tone and expression:

"I'm sorry for making fun of you all."

The man was surprised as he studied: "I have worked with the Grand Tutor for many years, and I have never seen such an expression on his face."

Others also echoed, "Don't say you haven't seen it, we haven't seen it either. For example, when Taifu Gao won the first prize, he didn't show much joy on his face. He didn't even want to get married, and he let people like us from Pei come down to earth directly. It's really strange!"
