Turning around, Ye Shuo couldn't help but count silently in his mind.
"three."
"two."
"one……"
"Wait a minute!" Before Ye Shuo finished counting the last word, he heard the tutor calling him back decisively.
Based on the Grand Tutor's understanding of the Ninth Prince, he is definitely capable of doing such a thing.
The Taifu has to attend court every day, teach the prince to read, and give him advice, which is tiring enough. If he cannot have peace at home, then he really has no way out.
The Grand Tutor also understood that the Ninth Prince did it on purpose, but for the sake of family harmony and for himself to sleep peacefully, the Grand Tutor finally lowered his head.
Even teaching this to a princess is not polite.
He is a man and also the prince's teacher. How can this be allowed?
But the Grand Tutor seemed to have accepted his fate. After all, since he had become involved with the Ninth Prince, he could not escape no matter what.
Not only could he not escape, but now he had to teach his sister to read. This made the Taifu regret countless times. He should not have offended Lord Cen and then been dragged into this trouble by him.
The prince was watching from the side, and he really didn't dare to speak. The prince was sure that if he dared to say one more word, Xiaojiu would throw the burden on him.
So, I'm sorry, teacher...
The Master sighed, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness: "I promise you."
As long as the Ninth Prince doesn't go looking for his wife, it doesn't matter if it's against the rules, everything else can be discussed.
The Grand Tutor suddenly realized that since he met the Ninth Prince, he seemed to have done many things that he would never do before, and he didn't even know how many times he had broken the established rules.
Upon hearing this, Ye Shuo immediately carried his sister on his back and followed the two of them.
Once again lamenting the speed at which the Ninth Prince changed his expression, as he walked into the East Palace, the Imperial Tutor couldn't help but ask, "Aren't there clearly female officials in the palace? Why did you come to me? The princess is a woman, wouldn't it be more convenient for her to find a female official?"
Because you guys are in control of everything the female officer teaches...
Although he was complaining in his heart, Ye Shuo looked very serious: "My sister, I definitely want to give her the best."
Taifu = Prince's teacher = the best.
After quickly understanding what the Ninth Prince meant, even the Grand Tutor couldn't help but feel relieved, finally not feeling so aggrieved.
As the saying goes, flattery never wears out, no matter how many holes there are. Everyone likes to hear nice words, not to mention the Taifu, even the emperor is the same, it mainly depends on how the nice words are said.
If it is too straightforward, they will feel that their intelligence is being insulted, which is why simple flattery will not make them happy but will make them angry.
It's like this, a casual sentence, it's best to think about it and figure out its meaning.
Anyway, the Grand Tutor is feeling quite comfortable right now.
However, the Grand Tutor was not fooled by Ye Shuo's short words. It would have been fine if he had not explained it in advance this time, but if the Imperial Concubine gave birth to another prince or princess in the future, she couldn't expect him to teach them again, right?
If I don't refuse in advance, I'm afraid my life will never end.
Therefore, the Grand Tutor decisively said: "This is just the first time, it won't happen again."
"No problem." Let's not talk about whether his mother will have another child in the future. Even if she does, it will be several years later. Let's finish the current things first and think about the future later.
When Ye Shuo was walking inside with Jian Jian on his back, he faintly heard the voice of a child in the distance. He knew without hesitation that it must be the prince's other children.
In the few years since Jian Jian was born, the Eastern Palace has added a lot of people, both boys and girls, but they were all born to concubines and other women. Ye Shuo did not know the details. After all, he was only familiar with the Crown Princess and the little grandson of the emperor. Apart from the Crown Princess and the little grandson of the emperor, Ye Shuo naturally would not pay attention to others.
And now the little grandson was still taking classes in the study room, so Ye Shuo had even less interest.
With his younger brother/the Ninth Prince around, the Crown Prince and the Grand Tutor naturally wouldn't bring up overly confidential topics. They only talked about the things happening in the court. As Ye Shuo listened, he couldn't bear it anymore and lay down on the table.
Soon, Ye Shuo and the little princess were sleeping soundly, each one more than the other.
The Grand Tutor and the Crown Prince were already accustomed to this scene, and the Little Nine/Ninth Prince was also like this in the Qinzheng Palace.
In the end, the little princess woke up first. Seeing the unfamiliar environment and the strange old man, she became flustered and subconsciously called Ye Shuo.
"Brother...Brother..." Where on earth is this place?
Jianjian still remembers that she was sleeping in her mother's room.
As if he didn't see that the little princess was about to cry, Ye Shuo pointed upwards: "Third brother, you should know this, right?"
The prince held his forehead with his hand, smiled at the little princess very friendly, and called her "Jianjian".
After careful identification, Jianjian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Here, this is the Master Taifu I mentioned to you before. He is my brother's teacher and will be your teacher from now on."
The Grand Tutor was stunned when he heard this. Wait a minute, didn't he say that it was just the beginning of the study? Why did he call for a teacher?
Perhaps it was because Ye Shuo's description before was too terrifying, which made Jian Jian think that the man called Taifu must look ferocious and particularly vicious. But now, it seems that he is not so bad.
Jianjian gradually let down her guard and her hands, which were tightly holding onto the corner of Ye Shuo's clothes, gradually loosened.
But after all, he was a stranger, so Jian Jian only called out timidly: "Master Taifu."
The Taifu himself had two daughters. Although his wife was in charge of raising his daughters, he at least held them in his arms when they were young.
As for the granddaughter, she grew up under the supervision of the Grand Tutor day by day.
When the Grand Tutor saw the little princess, he couldn't help but think of his daughter and granddaughter when they were young. His expression subconsciously softened, no longer as stiff as it was when he was facing Ye Shuo.
"I pay my respects to the little princess."
"No, no need. Please stand up, Master." Jianjian was flustered for a moment when she saw this, but she was a princess after all, so she quickly calmed down.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Shuo, who was like a lazy dog, leaned close to his sister's ear and whispered, "This is the man who calls me stupid every day. Jianjian, you must help me get revenge. I am counting on you!"
The movement of the Grand Tutor standing up suddenly froze, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the Ninth Prince changed.
Whenever the Grand Tutor thought the Ninth Prince was shameless enough, he would often do something even more shameless.
How could he think of telling a complaint to the little princess who is only three years old!
"Brother..." To be honest, Jianjian was just a little kid after all, and she was quite nervous and scared. But when she turned around and saw that her brother was more nervous and scared than her, and that her brother had always been stupid and couldn't do anything well, the young Jianjian suddenly felt a surge of courage in her heart.
In the end, Jianjian gritted her teeth and looked into the Master's eyes.
"Well, then..."
The Crown Prince was watching with great interest, and was even in no hurry to deal with state affairs. The Grand Tutor suddenly had the urge to curse.
In this way, Jianjian started the first day of study in a daze.
She didn't even know she was in school, she just thought she was getting revenge for her brother.
This has always been the method for educating children.
"This is the Three Character Classic. Come here, little princess, and follow me to read: Man is born good..."
The little princess was ignorant: "When people are born, their nature is good..."
Taifu: "Natures are similar, but habits are different."
Jianjian: "We are similar in nature, but different in habits."
…………
Both of them were reciting, and I guess there was nothing left for me to do.
Ye Shuo yawned, closed his eyes, lay on the table and started practicing.
The same thought flashed through the minds of the Crown Prince and the Grand Tutor at the same time -
Little Nine/The Ninth Prince said that he was looking for a teacher for the little princess. Could his purpose be to divert attention?
I knew he wouldn't be that kind.
After counting the time, almost enough time for a class, Ye Shuo woke up on time.
At that time, Jianjian was in high spirits and had already learned that "there are insects, fish, birds and beasts, and this animal can fly away."
At first, the Grand Tutor was quite dissatisfied, but he found that teaching the little princess was much easier than teaching the ninth prince, even though she was only three years old.
But children also have their advantages. One of them is that they are very obedient, especially when facing teachers, they naturally have a sense of awe.
The most important thing is that the little princess is smart and able to learn, which makes the tutor, who has not taught students for a long time and only taught Ye Shuo, suddenly feel astonished.
The prince was also a little surprised. He vaguely remembered that his own son was just like this when he was just starting to learn.
Ye Shuo was even more generous, and he clapped non-stop beside him, with a look of amazement on his face: "Jian Jian is great! Jian Jian is amazing!"
The Grand Tutor couldn't help but also praised: "It is much better than you."
The little princess had never experienced the dangers of the world, and she soon lost herself in the praises, and her little face turned rosy.
Then...Ye Shuo immediately carried her out.
“Brother…?” Jianjian was puzzled. Didn’t he tell her to study?
"You have to study and play." If a child is so young, he will get sick if he sits for too long.
However, Ye Shuo's action made the Taifu very angry.
He said he would teach and he said he would play. It's really, really too much!
"If you, Ninth Prince, don't learn, the little princess still has to learn!"
Hearing this, Ye Shuo couldn't help but frowned and looked down: "Jianjian, do you still want to continue learning?"
Jianjian didn’t know actually, she just simply felt happy when others praised her, so she nodded in confusion: “Yes, Jianjian wants to learn.”
"Then let's do this." Ye Shuo looked embarrassed: "How about we have a discussion?"
"As long as you can play for a quarter of an hour, I'll let you go to school for half an hour. How about that?"
In Ye Shuo's words, playing has become a burden, while studying has become a reward.
But it is true that because of what he had done before, in Jianjian's eyes, isn't reading a lot easier than playing with him?
At least I don't have to follow him around or worry about him getting lost.
Jianjian nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
Oh, children are so easy to deceive.
In this way, Ye Shuo forced Jian Jian to play hide-and-seek with him for half a day. Every time Jian Jian acted like a ghost, Ye Shuo would find her accurately, but when it was Ye Shuo's turn to act like a ghost, Jian Jian just couldn't find her no matter what.
This one-sided massacre is really not fun at all.
So as soon as Ye Shuo announced that the time was up, Jian Jian immediately ran back to the house without looking back.
Ye Shuo couldn't help laughing, holding his stomach and bending over with laughter in the yard.
The other side.
The empress was also worried about her son's studies, because the prince had a teacher specially appointed by Emperor Jingwen, and since they were both legitimate sons, they were naturally treated differently from his illegitimate brothers. Therefore, the empress was unwilling to accept this and also wanted to find a teacher to teach him individually.
As a result, before she found a solution, she heard that the Ninth Prince had brought the little princess directly to the Grand Tutor.
