Chapter 382: Flirting with me, right?
Jun Liluo quickly cleaned up the things on the bed and checked it carefully from front to back to make sure that when he lay down later, there wouldn't be any lotus seeds or longans that would suddenly pop out and poke him.
"Okay, Yunchu."
Jun Liluo lay on his side on the couch, propped up his forehead with one hand and looked at her, "How are you going to treat me? Just come at me."
Upon hearing this, Song Yunchu sat on the edge of the bed with his arms folded across his chest, and looked at him from head to toe with great interest.
Well, this guy really looks good in red.
His already fair complexion was made even more flawless by the bright red collar, and his posture at this moment was elegant yet a little lazy.
Under the full forehead, the long curled eyelashes were like a feather fan, and the inky phoenix eyes were looking at her steadily. The pupils seemed to be filled with a pool of shimmering water, deep and bewitching.
In my impression, Jun Li Luo always likes to pretend to be serious and doesn't like to wear brightly colored clothes on weekdays. He can be described as dignified and elegant, but not as... seductive as he is at this moment.
It's like the fox king in fantasy books transformed into a human, specifically to seduce simple mortals. Once the other party takes the bait, he will suck the other party's blood and energy to achieve the purpose of helping his own cultivation.
Song Yunchu has always admitted that she is just an ordinary person. Driven by ordinary thoughts, she leaned forward and pushed Jun Liluo down.
"Flirting with me, huh?"
Jun Liluo blinked, looking somewhat innocent, "What's wrong with me?"
[As expected, Yun Chu saw that I was teasing her. ]
[It seems that red clothes can really make her happy. I will wear them more often in the future.]
[Yun Chu seemed unable to resist that gesture just now. ]
"Watch how I deal with you." Song Yunchu lowered his head and bit Jun Liluo's lips.
Jun Liluo chuckled and put his arms around her waist.
Song Yunchu untied his belt and opened his collar, and his passionate kisses moved along his jaw to his shoulders and neck.
As she wished, she left several marks on Jun Liluo's body, until he stretched out his hand and pinched her chin with unsteady breathing, "Okay Yunchu, I've taken advantage of you enough, it's time to go to sleep."
Song Yunchu grabbed his wrist, smiled and kissed him on the lips, "Why do you make me sound like a gangster?"
After saying that, she kissed his cheek again. Jun Liluo was made to laugh and cry by her. He grabbed her shoulders and pushed her to the inside of the bed, then pulled his clothes tighter, "Don't forget that you are pregnant. This is over today. If you want to take advantage of me, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
If he continues like this, he will feel uncomfortable.
How could Song Yunchu not understand this truth? She stopped teasing Jun Liluo and just reached out to pinch his cheek, "Good night and sweet dreams, my dear Majesty."
Jun Liluo held her in his arms, sniffed the fragrance of her hair, and said, "Good night and sweet dreams, my dear prince."
Song Yunchu found a comfortable position and slowly closed his eyes.
…
After a good night's sleep, Song Yunchu felt quite hungry when he woke up in the morning.
She ate half a bowl of lily soup and after the meal she talked with Jun Liluo about the job changes of officials in the court.
"Although Prime Minister Liu is not convinced by me, he is only angry but dares not speak out. He has more prestige among the old ministers. If he can know his limits and know when to advance and retreat, we can leave his position for now. After all, he is still loyal to the court. Now that I am the King of the Right, I can choose another suitable person for the position of the Prime Minister."
"You and I are thinking the same thing." Jun Liluo said with a smile, "Mr. Zheng is not bad. He is a senior official and is willing to support you. If you promote him to the position of Right Prime Minister, I'm sure the officials will have no objection."
Song Yunchu nodded. "Let him be on an equal footing with Prime Minister Liu. The old ministers will soon be divided into factions and don't have to follow Prime Minister Liu's lead. Scholar Zheng has his own wisdom. If he can win over more old ministers to my side, I will have a lot less to worry about in the future."
After the two of them discussed it, Jun Liluo drafted the decree.
"At Prime Minister Liu's age, he should resign and retire in three or four years," Jun Liluo said. "By then, we will have to choose a new left prime minister. Do you have any good ideas?"
Song Yunchu thought for a moment and said, "Ye Fengmian is capable and well connected, and he is not as stubborn as his father. However, his father is already a general in the court, so it is not appropriate for him to be promoted. As for Gong Mingyuan, he is talented and dedicated, but his mouth... Over the past year, there have been a lot of complaints against him. If we hadn't turned a blind eye, he wouldn't have been able to keep his position as Shangshulang. I think he needs more experience."
Jun Liluo chuckled, "There is a long time to come, no rush, let's wait and see."
"Yes, there is a long way to go." Song Yunchu took a sip of the red date tea on the table, "There are not many memorials recently, right? I have to leave the palace in the afternoon."
"Where are you going?"
"Let's go take a stroll around Sixian Hall."
…
The birds are silent in the autumn afternoon, and occasionally a breeze blows by, bringing a hint of coolness.
A woman's soft and gentle voice was heard in the spacious classroom.
"Xiao Ke, hold the pen steadily and write lightly. You can take your time and don't have to rush to write."
"Yumei, you must sit upright when practicing calligraphy. You can't lie down all the time. You just took Master Huo's etiquette lesson this morning. How come you forgot it in the blink of an eye? I'm going to report you to Master Huo and ask her to keep an eye on you."
"Qingshi, you are dozing off again. If you don't finish writing a piece of calligraphy before sunset, you won't have any afternoon snacks tomorrow."
Hearing the scolding from the woman in front of them, the girls who were trying to slack off immediately sat up straight, fearing that they would be the next ones to be called.
I heard from my parents at home that the two new teachers in Sixian Hall are ladies in the palace. If I make them angry, it is very likely to affect the promotion of my father or brother.
How could they dare not listen to someone who even their parents had to give face to?
"Master Wei, I was wrong. I will definitely write well."
"Teacher, I didn't mean to sleep in class. I just didn't get enough rest last night. Please don't deduct my snacks."
The students who were named also admitted their mistakes obediently.
Although most of them were born in prominent families and had eaten good food before, it was said that the snacks that Master Wei brought were only available in the palace and could not be bought outside even if one had money. They were only able to eat them because of the Sixian Hall, so how could they not cherish them?
Seeing the students actively admitting their mistakes, the woman smiled with satisfaction: "It's good that you admit your mistakes. Take a break first, wash your hands, and come back to have some snacks. Today I brought you pear paste candy and candied date cakes."
The girls were very happy. They went out to wash their hands and came back to sit obediently in their seats waiting for snacks.
"Master Wei, can I ask you a question?"
"You ask."
"That's right... We all heard that you were originally the Concubine Li in the palace." The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to ask her doubts, "Why don't you enjoy your life in the palace, but ask to come out of the palace to teach us?"
Wei Mengshuang was not surprised at all when she heard this.
Before she and Zhenfei came, they had anticipated that the students would ask questions, especially the students in Class C, who were only six to eight years old. Their questions were not malicious but were genuinely confused.
She was naturally happy to give them a reasonable answer. After all, children of this age were very easy to guide, and since they were afraid of their teachers, they would most likely listen to what she said.
"Life in the palace is indeed leisurely, but because it is too leisurely and there is nothing to do, it makes people feel that the days are empty and long. If I can teach and educate people to pass these long days, it can be considered as contributing to the country. Isn't it more meaningful than just sitting there doing nothing?"
Wei Mengshuang smiled and stroked the girl's head. "Before the establishment of Sixian Hall, you were probably locked up at home, with your parents hiring people to teach you how to read and write, right? Your brothers are different. They can go out to study and socialize, and make many friends during this time. Unlike you, you don't even have classmates to communicate with. The King of Binjian proposed to His Majesty to build a girls' school in the hope that you can step out of your narrow boudoir and see a wider world."
"If you still don't understand, then I will explain it in simpler terms. Do you want to listen to others all your life, or do you want to have the opportunity to control your own life in the future? If you study hard and make a name for yourself, or make a name for yourself like General Zheng and Captain Zhong did, you may also be able to obtain an official position. You know the benefits of being an official, right? You will receive money from the court, and you will have face when you go out. By then, you will also become the pride of your family."
After Wei Mengshuang finished speaking, a student beside her took over the conversation, "Teacher, I understand. If I can make my parents proud of me like Miss Liu and Miss Jiang in the future, then maybe it won't be me who listens to them, but they will listen to me, right?"
Wei Mengshuang smiled and nodded, "You can think so."
"But Master, I heard that the position of a queen in the palace is higher than that of an official. For example, you are more powerful than Miss Liu and Miss Jiang, right?"
"That's not right." Wei Mengshuang calmly refuted, "No matter how glorious the empress in the palace is, it's only for the people around you to see. How can it compare to the freedom of Jiang Nufu and Liu Nufu to come and go? Besides, as a nun, how great is it to have a group of sensible and interesting students like you? I am happier staying with you than staying in the palace."
"So, Master likes us very much?"
"Of course. I would like you more if you could write well."
"Master, someone is watching us outside the window."
Hearing the reminder from the students behind her, Wei Mengshuang looked out the classroom window.
This sight made her frown.
The man outside the door was wearing a dragon-patterned python robe and had picturesque features. It was none other than Song Yunchu.
"Your Highness Prince Ning, you came just in time. I was just talking to my students about your good intentions in proposing the construction of Sixian Hall."
Wei Mengshuang said to Song Yunchu, then looked down at the students, "This is His Royal Highness Prince Ning. It's time to use the etiquette that Master Huo taught you. Bow quickly and say the greetings."
After being reminded by Wei Mengshuang, the students reacted and hurriedly bowed and greeted in unison -
"Meet His Royal Highness Prince Ning."
When Song Yunchu saw that the students were able to salute in an orderly manner, he couldn't help but smile and walked into the classroom with Honglian.
"I didn't want to disturb Master Wei's teaching, but Honglian said you were taking a break and eating snacks, so I came over to check on you."
As soon as Song Yunchu finished speaking, Honglian placed a wooden brocade box on Wei Mengshuang's desk.
"Master Wei, His Highness has brought four hundred fine wolf-hair brushes to distribute to the students."
The students couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when they heard this.
The pens that King Ning brought for them must be good things that cannot be bought anywhere else!
Children of six or seven years old can't hide anything. Song Yunchu saw their expressions and couldn't help laughing: "I heard that you are all very diligent in practicing calligraphy, so I came here to praise you. At the end of the year, I will choose the one with the best handwriting among you and give her the red silk inkstone in my study. You must work harder."
Upon hearing this, the students immediately became interested.
The red silk inkstone in Prince Ning's study? Only one of its kind!
If I could bring this thing home, my parents would be so happy that they would not be able to sleep for three days and three nights.
Seeing that the children had fighting spirit, Song Yunchu was satisfied and turned to ask Wei Mengshuang: "What are the students in Class A doing now?"
"He should be practicing horse riding with Qingshu and Zhen'er."
"I'll go check on them. Master Wei, please help me here."
"It's not hard." Wei Mengshuang said with a smile, "It's much more interesting to be with them than in the palace."
Teaching students is not easy, but the benefits are obvious. School ends after 3 p.m. in Sixian Hall, and students have one day off every five days. They can freely use their time outside of classes.
They had thought they would die in the palace for the rest of their lives, and never thought such a good thing would happen. Now they no longer have to go back to the harem, and can return to their own homes after school every day, and can get together on weekends to go outings and have fun. Such a life is extremely comfortable.
After leaving Class C, Song Yunchu and Honglian came to the horse farm south of Sixian Hall.
The students in Class A are all over twelve years old, so they naturally know more about etiquette than the children in Class C.
A few people saw Song Yunchu approaching from afar, and their pupils widened.
"Look, isn't that Prince Ning?"
"I have never seen Prince Ning, but she is wearing a dragon robe, so she must be him. The other princes of this dynasty are all old, and I heard that Prince Ning often wears men's clothes. She must be the youngest and most handsome one."
"Yes, it's her! Look at the pearl on her head and the dragon pattern on her collar!"
"So pretty, why isn't she a man..."
"Keep your voice down! Don't be afraid of being laughed at by others. Go up and salute!"
Several students were whispering, and when they saw Song Yunchu approaching, they all stepped forward and bowed to greet him.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Ning."
"No need to be polite." Song Yunchu looked at the students in front of him and said with a smile, "How is your horse riding training going?"
"Your Highness, General Zheng and Master Ye are taking turns to lead us. We have never learned to ride a horse before, and now we really want to learn, but we are a little timid..."
"It doesn't matter. Nothing is difficult if you are determined."
Zheng Qingshu had just come back on horseback with a student. When he saw Song Yunchu coming, he stepped forward and bowed to greet him.
"General Zheng, I just heard from the students that they want to learn horse riding, but they are a little timid. We have to help them."
Zheng Qingshu was puzzled, "What does your highness mean?"
"Let's have a horse race. Each of us will take a student and let them experience the thrilling feeling firsthand. Maybe it will arouse their desire to ride."
Listening to Song Yunchu's proposal, Zheng Qingshu readily agreed, "Your Highness's idea is excellent."
Song Yunchu turned to look at the students behind him, "Who among you wants to ride with me?"
Several people were stunned.
Ride with the King who is extremely skilled in martial arts?
Someone quickly spoke up: "Your Highness, I would like to ride with you!"
"I am willing to do that, please take me! I have never ridden a horse before."
"Your Highness, please take me with you! Learning to ride a horse is my greatest wish!"
