Chapter 520 On the Selection of Teachers for Elementary Education (Part 2)
Liu Che, who was deep in thought, suddenly noticed that the little dumpling beside him had opened his eyes and instinctively reached out to pat his chest. "Ju'er, what's wrong?"
Liu Ju stared at the bed curtains with his eyes open. "A nightmare."
"I had a nightmare, but it's okay. Father is here, so don't be afraid."
Liu Che understood, pulled the little dumpling into his arms, and patted his back to comfort him.
Nestled in his father's arms, Liu Ju blinked. He wasn't actually afraid. Thinking back, the dream he'd just had was rather interesting; he even considered taking apart that mechanical bird…
As he pondered, Liu Che drifted back into sleep, but this time his subconscious refusal prevented anyone from pulling him back into the dream world.
As a result, the Mo family elder who confidently claimed to be the first to appear before him was condemned by everyone. They said that the mechanical bird would attract the young prince's attention, but now the prince simply refused to come in!
The old man from the Mohist school was also aggrieved. The young prince clearly loved to "fly," and he had secretly overheard this information from Huo Qubing, the strategist. How could he not succeed?
Isn't his mechanical bird cool?
...
[Ding! The new quest "Teacher of Elementary Education" has been triggered. Please complete it as soon as possible.]
Early in the morning, Liu Che was awakened by the system's notification sound. He skillfully opened the light screen, looked at the task on it, and sneered. He didn't tell him the truth and still wanted to be his son's teacher? Dream on!
【Task: Mentor for Children】Task Description: The chosen one has reached his first birthday, it's time for him to begin his studies - who will be the lucky one to become his mentor?
Task Requirements: Find at least one suitable tutor for Liu Ju, the heir to the Mandate of Heaven. Task Reward: One kiss from the heir to the Mandate of Heaven.
Seeing the reward made Liu Che laugh in exasperation. This was given by the system? He turned around, pulled his son close, and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek!
Ah, a sip from the left, a sip from the right, take as many sips as you want!
Liu Ju, who was awakened by being sucked: "!" Father really does eat children!
...
"well--"
A faint fragrance permeated the Jiaofang Palace, and the gilded animal-shaped candlesticks cast warm light onto the cloud-patterned brocade couch.
Liu Ju sat curled up on the cushion, his round face scrunched up, occasionally letting out a long sigh.
Wei Zifu put down the brocade she was weaving, her eyes and brows filled with a gentle smile. She rose and walked to the bedside, her delicate hand gently stroking her son's hair: "Ju'er, what's wrong?"
Liu Ju raised his head, his dark, grape-like eyes filled with grievance, and sighed as he pouted, "Mother, you don't understand."
Wei Zifu found it amusing, as it was rare to see her son so worried yet still willing to talk. She deliberately teased him, "Tell me what you think, just in case your mother understands."
“It’s safer if Mother doesn’t know.” Liu Ju shook his head seriously.
"What's safer?" Huo Qubing's cheerful voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
He strode into the palace, gave a curt bow to Wei Zifu, and then stretched out his long arm to pull Liu Ju into his arms. "Ju'er, you haven't seen your cousin for several days. Did you miss me?"
Liu Ju's previously droopy lips instantly turned up, and he nodded happily, his little arms tightly wrapped around Huo Qubing's neck.
But before his joy could subside, he seemed to remember something, his brows furrowed again, and he leaned close to his cousin's ear, lowering his voice to say, "Cousin, don't go to the palace, it's not safe."
Huo Qubing raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with surprise: "Has someone in the palace bullied you?"
Liu Ju nodded heavily, his chubby hands covering his face, tears still glistening on his eyelashes, his voice trembling with grievance: "Mmm..."
Seeing this, Wei Zifu's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "Who? Who bullied you? Tell your mother!"
"Tell your cousin, and he'll avenge you!" Huo Qubing clenched his fists in worry.
Liu Ju simply shook his head and sighed like a little adult: "No need, you protect me, I'll be fine."
Liu Ju was deeply moved by his own selfless and courageous spirit; he was such a good boy! *Sob*
Huo Qubing asked anxiously, "What exactly happened? If you don't tell me, I'll tell His Majesty and have him investigate!"
"No!" Liu Ju hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "It's Father, Father likes to eat children."
"Huh?" Huo Qubing's eyes widened, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.
“It’s true!” Liu Ju nodded seriously. “He’s bitten me so many times.” Seeing his cousin’s disbelief, he cupped Huo Qubing’s face and, imitating Liu Che, gave him a few quick pecks on the cheek. “Like this!”
Huo Qubing was taken aback at first, then burst into thunderous laughter. Wei Zifu couldn't help but smile as well.
Seeing their smiling faces, Liu Ju felt wronged. He had taken such a big risk to tell them, why didn't they believe him?
Enraged, Liu Ju broke free from Huo Qubing's embrace, his short legs moving swiftly as he climbed onto the soft couch and sat down, his back to them sulking.
"You're walking so nimbly!"
Huo Qubing was surprised.
Liu Ju then realized his mistake, got angry and gave himself away, and had no way to slack off openly anymore.
But he was self-righteous, turning halfway to glare at Huo Qubing: "That's not important!"
Huo Qubing took a few steps closer and picked up the little dumpling again. "Then what's important? Oh, I know."
Liu Ju had a bad feeling. He looked at Huo Qubing with a wicked smile and then quickly moved closer to his face.
"The important thing is, your cousin here also eats children!"
Suckling sounds!
"..." Liu Jusheng felt utterly hopeless. It was too difficult. Being an innocent baby was too hard!
His fragrance is his business, you guys shouldn't get involved!
...
"Wait, what is 'Master Teacher 101'?"
Liu Che was arrogant and ignored the system tasks for a whole day.
The next morning, as soon as I woke up, I found that the system page had changed.
