The young emperor stared blankly at Di Jingling as if struck by lightning.
He stood there, completely stiff.
A pair of eyes stared straight at him, and tears even welled up in them.
He was really heartbroken.
Being taught by the Grand Tutor on a regular basis is bad enough, why would they need to go to a private school?
Ninth Prince is so cruel and heartless!
He caught a glimpse of Xiao Tang out of the corner of his eye, then suddenly pointed at Xiao Tang's nose and said loudly, "That's fine, but I want the Imperial Preceptor to teach us!"
She, who was standing by as a sensible bystander, was truly full of questions.
She could fool people, tell fortunes, or teach some medical skills, but sending her to teach at a private school would be tantamount to killing her.
Xiao Tang immediately looked at Di Jingling and shook her head violently.
She winked and made faces at the man.
She was really terrified.
If he actually agrees to this, she'll be furious!
Di Jingling turned her head to look at Xiao Tang's apprehensive expression. She didn't really want to see her make a fool of herself, but she still curled the corners of her lips and said, "Of course you can."
The smile on his thin lips seemed playful.
What the hell are you laughing at!
[Thinking you were going to watch a good show?]
If she were to go to a private school to teach classical Chinese, she would want to die on the spot.
"No, no, Your Majesty! I am but a rustic country bumpkin, I do not understand these refined things!"
The young emperor's face turned extremely sour.
When he heard that he might be alone... he immediately became dejected.
The Empress Dowager also noticed the young emperor's dependence on the Imperial Preceptor. Her eyes flashed, and she quickly smiled and said, "In my opinion, the Imperial Preceptor must not have attended a private school for many years. Why don't he go to school with the Emperor?"
“Teaching is impossible, but we can still take classes together.”
She smiled softly, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
【Huh... I need to go to school?】
Sure enough, when women ascend to the position of empress dowager, they are bound to change.
Before she became Empress Dowager, this woman was quite gentle and virtuous.
Having ascended to the position of Empress Dowager, she has become a completely different person.
Xiao Tang looked at Di Jingling.
My sweet little darling, help me!
She really wanted to scream for help.
Damn it, why isn't he reacting at all?
Little did she know, she seemed to see a half-smile in the man's eyes.
They clearly have ill intentions.
They probably wanted to send her to a private school a long time ago.
"No...no need. I am already quite old, there is really no need for me to go to a private school."
[There's no need for this, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager! Wake up!]
I don't know what the Empress Dowager was thinking, but she probably already made up her mind.
After all, she discovered that although her son was usually afraid of the regent, he didn't necessarily obey the regent's wishes.
The young emperor seems to trust the imperial advisor quite a bit.
In that case...
The Empress Dowager stepped forward, her voice carrying a more authoritative tone than usual: "Regardless of the circumstances, I beg the Imperial Advisor to help me."
Should I help?
I'd like to ask you for a favor!
Xiao Tang wanted to cry but had no tears.
She turned her head and stared longingly at the man.
[Husband, my love, my dear, darling, why aren't you saying anything?]
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager is absolutely right. Imperial Preceptor, please agree."
He agreed on her behalf!
Xiao Tang felt a headache coming on.
What else can she do if things continue like this? If she could, she really wanted to find a crack in the ground and hide.
then……
Xiao Tang finally got the special treatment of not having to attend court, but the next day he had to go to the private school.
Her disguise made her look like an older person.
Sitting in this classroom, his advanced age attracted the attention of many children.
The young emperor even deliberately sat next to her.
"Brother Hao Fang, we're best buddies from now on!"
The little emperor even extended his little finger to make a pinky promise with her.
Xiao Tang stared at the little finger, wanting to pinch it off.
You brat!
I'll rip her off without hesitation!
"Look at you, needing someone to accompany you to a private school? How old are you?"
"It's...not that big," the little guy said timidly.
Xiao Tang was furious.
"Brother Hao Fang, let's discuss how we should pass the throne to someone else later?"
"Or...you'll let me fake my death?"
"I'll go out and live a carefree life?"
"I will write another will, bequeathing the throne to my uncle. I'm sure no one will object."
Xiao Tang: "..."
She suspected that the child hadn't slept all night, thinking about how to pass the throne to someone else.
Just how difficult is it to sit on this throne that he has to rack his brains and sacrifice sleep to think about it?
She rubbed her forehead, somewhat speechless.
"Your Majesty, we..." Can we say something else?
Unfortunately, children are just children and don't understand how to be flexible.
He slammed his hand on the table excitedly, as if something had sparked his inspiration.
"Otherwise, I could do all sorts of outrageous things, and my royal uncle would take it so badly that he'd lead a rebellion, and then we could..."
The matter was resolved in one go.
The child felt proud of his intelligence, gently touched the tip of his nose, and was very happy.
Xiao Tang found his words utterly hilarious.
Kids are so naive that they say such childish things.
She really misunderstood this child too much.
"Your Majesty, let's discuss this matter later. You should focus on reviewing your studies first."
