"Your Highness, why are you here?"
The Master's face was filled with shock.
Ye Shuo nimbly climbed out of the storage box under the Taifu's butt. Seeing Xiao Luzi still standing there in embarrassment, he opened the locker opposite without saying anything.
The Master then discovered that there was someone in the locker opposite.
As for the things originally placed inside, no one knows when they disappeared without a trace.
There are still a lot of tea leaves in there that he has collected and never wanted to drink...
As if sensing the Master's heartache, Ye Shuo pulled Xiao Luzi out and said, "Don't worry, Master. I have already asked someone to move the things in your storage compartment to Shu Lan Zhai in advance. You can take them back anytime."
Two sets of tea sets, a small charcoal stove for making tea, a basket of high-quality smokeless charcoal, a blanket, two tea cakes, two ceramic jars of tea and other miscellaneous things, had already been secretly taken away by Ye Shuo.
The Grand Tutor felt that this had nothing to do with whether it was a piece of property or not. The most important thing now was to find a way to send the little prince back!
This, this, this is the son of the Imperial Concubine, the most beloved prince of His Majesty. What will happen if something goes wrong when he is away from home? ?
After the two of them came out, most of the space in the carriage was occupied by them. The tutor was forced to stand there hunched over, and subconsciously lifted the curtain next to him to take a look.
Seeing this, Ye Shuo couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on him: "It's too late, Master. We are already out of the city gate."
Are you kidding? How dare he make any noise if he doesn’t even know this?
Want to return the product? No way!
The Grand Tutor saw that this was indeed the case. The gate of the palace was getting farther and farther away. He loosened his grip on the curtain and felt that the situation was hopeless. "…The Emperor and the Imperial Concubine will not allow you to come out alone."
"How could it be? How could I be alone?"
Ye Shuo first pointed at himself, then at him.
The master understood what he meant almost instantly: "You, you——"
Great! The other party is leaving the palace under my name!
Ye Shuo's subsequent words also confirmed the Master's guess.
"Don't worry, Master. I have already told my mother in advance that you have something to teach me. Please let me go out of the palace with you and come back after I have learned it."
After…a while???
The Master's eyes widened: "Your Highness, are you not going back tomorrow???"
Upon hearing that, Ye Shuo immediately waved his hand and said, “Of course.” He had finally managed to get out, so he definitely had to have fun.
"At least I have to stay outside for ten days or half a month, right?" Otherwise, all his efforts would be in vain.
Although in Xiaoluzi's opinion, his master didn't put in any effort at all.
The Master couldn't help himself, he took a deep breath, and his expression became somewhat serious.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry I can't agree to this. It will be dark soon and the palace gates will be locked. I can take you in for one night." If it was just to let the Ninth Prince sleep in his house for one night, it wouldn't be a big deal, but...
"But if Your Highness insists on not returning, then I am sorry that I can do nothing about it."
What he meant was... if I didn't agree to leave immediately tomorrow, he would completely ignore me... ?
Is there such a good thing???
Just like that, the Grand Tutor watched the little prince in front of him suddenly become excited.
"Stop the car!" Ye Shuo asked the driver in front to stop without thinking.
"Thank you for your consideration, Master!"
"Xiao Luzi, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you leave quickly?"
Ye Shuo has already decided to experience the ancient version of the inn first. Although he doesn't know how strong he is now, he thinks that protecting himself should be no problem. After all, Ye Shuo has experimented in the palace. He hid somewhere, and the guards and secret guards could not find him, but conversely, he could find the other party.
Although this cannot completely prove that he is more powerful than the secret guards and bodyguards, it at least shows that his ability to hide is not bad.
If you can't win, you can hide. If that doesn't work, you can run.
Ye Shuo had also tried it. If he poured his internal energy into his feet and only used it to run, it would take more than an hour for his internal energy to be exhausted. Running for three hours was enough for him to run from the palace gate to the outside of Shangjing. Besides, Shangjing was under the feet of the emperor, and the public security was much better than outside. If there were so many criminals in Shangjing, then his stepfather was too incompetent.
Taking all factors into consideration, it would be totally fine for him to play outside alone for ten days or half a month.
Ye Shuo even prepared money for going out for fun. He deliberately discarded the silver and gold melon seeds and large-denomination silver notes used as rewards in the palace, and exchanged them for loose change. He had made all the preparations in advance.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Ye Shuo jumped down immediately.
The Taifu was dumbfounded.
After all, generally speaking, if you tell a seven or eight-year-old child to ignore him, he will definitely be scared and cry loudly, and will definitely do whatever you say afterwards.
Coincidentally, the Grand Tutor thought so too.
As a result, the Ninth Prince's reaction far exceeded his expectations.
The Taifu's scalp immediately felt numb.
He said he didn't care, but how could he really not care? After all, the Ninth Prince left the palace in his carriage. If something unexpected happened, how could he escape the blame?
Seeing that the person had already gone down, the Taifu could only hold on to the small path that was also preparing to leave in a panic.
There’s no way. The smaller one is gone, and the larger one can’t be let go.
Xiao Luzi had never seen the Grand Tutor lose his composure like this before, and his voice became shaky: "Grand Tutor..."
Master Taifu, you have stepped on my foot!
The Grand Tutor turned a deaf ear and felt his heart suddenly hanging in his throat.
Sure enough, after walking forward about ten meters, he found that the small path had not yet caught up with him, so Ye Shuo could only look back to see what was going on.
But after lifting the door curtain, Ye Shuo was immediately stunned: "Master, what are you doing..."
Didn't you say you don't care? Now it doesn't look like that.
The Taifu is just like my stepfather. It is hard to guess what an old man is thinking, and he often goes back on his words.
Seeing him turn back, the Grand Tutor finally breathed a sigh of relief, his expression slightly distorted, and after a long while, his voice finally became softer: "Your Highness, it's not very convenient outside, why don't you stay at my house for the next ten days."
Wow, what's the point of hanging out with an old guy?
Ye Shuo shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I won't bother you with this matter, Master."
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother." The Grand Tutor almost gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, you came to my house. I'm so happy that I can't wait to see you. How can I feel that it's a bother?"
Just wait, when he returns, he will send someone to inform the emperor immediately that the Ninth Prince has escaped without permission. This time, we must file a complaint with the emperor!
That being said, your expression doesn't say that...
Ye Shuo touched his chin and felt that the Grand Tutor definitely did not think so.
So Ye Shuo thought about it and said, "Then when you go back, send someone to tell my father and my mother that you want me to stay in your house for a while."
His own words alone might fool his mother, but he certainly couldn't fool his cheap father.
But it would be different if there was testimony from the Grand Tutor. Even if the matter of leaving the palace to study was not true, it would become true after getting the Grand Tutor's confirmation.
The Master refused without hesitation: "This is impossible!"
Wanting him to help you lie? No way!
Ye Shuo also had some understanding of the Grand Tutor's personality. He was very old-fashioned and stubborn. He had heard this from the Crown Princess more than once, so Ye Shuo didn't hold out much hope.
"In that case, I'll trouble you to take care of Xiaoluzi."
The Master was stunned for a moment.
What does he he he mean?
Are you not even going to bring a personal attendant with you?
Looking at the figure of the seven-year-old child walking away, the two people in the carriage were completely panicked.
Xiao Luzi was about to cry: "Master, Master, don't you want your servant anymore?!"
The master was also shouting, "Come back, come back! I'll help you!"
"really?"
"really!"
Ye Shuo thought for a while and finally decided to jump back into the carriage.
After all, leaving the palace is a big deal, and the Taifu certainly wouldn't dare to hide it. If my step-father gets to know about it, the whole of Upper Kyoto will be shaken and look for someone, and that would be disastrous.
So this is good for now.
After Ye Shuo sat firmly, the Grand Tutor blocked the door of the carriage with his old bones and stared at him intently, fearing that this prince with a naughty nature would do something naughty again.
"Your Highness, you really scared me to death just now." Xiao Luzi almost didn't know what to do.
Ye Shuo couldn't help but smile at the two of them.
The tutor reacted quickly and felt that things shouldn't be like this.
The Ninth Prince acted first and reported later. It was clearly his fault, so why should I beg him in the end?
When the tutor came to his senses, his face suddenly turned dark.
The situation was urgent and he couldn't react in time just now, but now it's okay, now he has figured it all out.
But it was too late.
Just like that, under the stare of the Grand Tutor, Ye Shuo staggered and staggered along the carriage to the Grand Tutor's mansion.
The Prince's Tutor is a top-ranking official in the current dynasty, so logically his mansion should be very large. But when he got closer, Ye Shuo realized that the house in front of him was extremely shabby.
Of course, this is only relative. Compared with ordinary people, it is definitely much better, but if compared with the mansions of other officials, it is not worth mentioning.
On this street, the house of the Taifu has the most ordinary facade, except for the pair of brand new big lions at the door which make it look more luxurious.
Withdrawing his gaze, Ye Shuo followed the tutor into the room.
Later, Ye Shuo discovered that the inside of the Taifu's mansion was not as good as the outside. At least the paint on the pillars outside had not fallen off, and the basic color was still there. As for the inside of the mansion, Ye Shuo seriously suspected that the Taifu only renovated the outside.
Just as he was thinking about something, he passed through the screen wall and came to the hanging flower gate. He heard some noise in the main room and a woman in her fifties came towards him.
Although the woman had taken good care of herself, she was old after all, and her face was beginning to show signs of aging, but her movements were appropriate, and it could be seen that she was a person who had read a lot. There was a hint of calmness between her brows and her eyes were peaceful. From her still bright eyes, it could be seen that she was also a very talented and gentle woman in her time.
Ye Shuo finally knew who the Crown Princess took after. Given the Grand Tutor's temperament of getting angry at the slightest provocation, Ye Shuo had thought that the Crown Princess was adopted.
Madam Zhen first saw her husband in the lead, and subconsciously said, "The master is back... Eh? Who is this?"
Ye Shuo came out from behind the tutor without saying a word.
After seeing the face of the child clearly, Madam Zhen was stunned for a moment, then blurted out in surprise: "What a beautiful child!"
A person with beautiful appearance and figure is called handsome.
Although the child in front of me is very young, his facial features are so stunning that people can't help but marvel at him. As expected, in another ten years, I wonder how many girls in the capital city will be fascinated by him.
The Grand Tutor's face turned a little unhappy when he heard this. After all, in his opinion, a man should be upright, well-read, and have a sharp look between his brows. It's ridiculous for the Ninth Prince to only rely on his face but be empty inside!
Ye Shuo next to him didn't care. He thought that he was good-looking because he had good genes. Was it a crime to be good-looking?
Therefore, Ye Shuo didn't care at all, and quickly shouted to Madam Zhen in front of him: "Hello, Master's wife!"
The Taifu is now his teacher, and his wife is naturally his teacher's wife.
The Grand Tutor couldn't help but frown upon seeing this. Why was the Ninth Prince acting so pretentiously?
However, when Mrs. Zhen heard that he was her husband's new student, she couldn't help herself and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"At such a young age, you are very polite."
"You have walked all the way with your teacher, you must be tired, don't just stand there, come in and sit down, it's time for dinner, let's have some together."
See? How come having good looks is useless?
Ye Shuo turned around and winked at the tutor.
The Master's eyelids twitched suddenly.
Ye Shuo turned around and said softly, "Master's wife, Shuo'er has nowhere to go recently. Can you take Shuo'er in for a few days?"
Oh, how pitiful.
Madam Zhen said without hesitation: "Of course, there are so many rooms in the house, I will just clean up one for you."
"Then, what if the teacher doesn't allow it?" Ye Shuo hesitated.
Mrs. Zhen was stunned. If her husband didn't allow it...
Seeing her hesitation, Ye Shuo slowly lowered his head.
Madam Zhen couldn't help but say, "It's just a room. I think I can still make the decision."
The hopeful Taifu followed closely behind: “…………”
Just when the Grand Tutor lost control and wanted to expose Ye Shuo, a young girl, no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, came out of the yard with two maids, crossed the corridor and came to the main room.
