When did you look at the map?

The eldest prince pinched his chin and recalled: "About... five years ago."

The second prince was furious: "Father actually favors you so much!"

Sure enough, no matter how much the emperor dotes on him, he definitely values ​​the eldest son the most!

This is what made the second prince most angry.

He was unwilling to accept this. Was he going to lose to his elder brother just because he was born a few years later?

The eldest prince chuckled.

He added quietly, "That day, I accidentally broke into the Yangxin Palace and saw my father discussing military affairs with General Bai."

"My father was furious and ordered me to kneel in front of the palace for five hours. It was not until I fainted from exhaustion that my mother was able to take me away."

The eldest prince said bitterly: "Since then, I have never dared to mention the map again."

A bucket of cold water was immediately poured over the Second Prince's angry head.

Wu Qing was shocked and commented: "...How terrifying."

It seems that this small test paper can no longer be used. I will have to burn it later.

The eldest prince took a deep breath.

"I was still young at that time and felt very aggrieved. Now that I have grown up, I have gradually realized my father's painstaking efforts. Matters related to maps are indeed not something I should be involved in at my age," he said.

[But the Emperor hasn't shown it to you yet. ]

[Oh, no need to comfort yourself, he is just afraid that his sons will seize power when they grow up, right? ]

Wu Qing speculated maliciously, "It is said that the father and son of the royal family are enemies. Our emperor is very suspicious, so how dare he show the map to the princes?"

The eldest prince coughed quickly and defended his father: "The maps of the emperor are very detailed, which is incomparable to the maps of the previous dynasties that simply divided the jurisdiction. Everything he did was for the long-term stability of the country."

Wu Qing curled his lips.

After hearing what the eldest prince and the second prince said, she became very interested in maps.

Wu Qing rubbed his hands and said, "Uh, don't we have an art class today? The teacher we had previously scheduled is ill, so we haven't decided on a replacement yet."

The princes looked at each other.

"In that case, I have an idea."

"Think carefully, is there a scholar in the capital who is well versed in the joy of mountains and rivers and the art of traveling?"

Wu Qing gestured, "You don't have to be a person who has traveled all over the world and seen all the wonders in the world. You just need to be familiar with every tree and grass, every mountain and every river in the capital."

The princes looked confused.

Aren't you looking for an art teacher? Why do you want to find someone who knows how to travel?

The conditions proposed by Guiren Ji are quite unique and do not seem to have much to do with painting.

[Tsk, why don't you understand what I mean? I can't explain it in too much detail.] Wu Qing is a little bald.

"This person must be well versed in the distribution of mountains and rivers, the layout of buildings, and the direction of the water system in the capital. It would be best if he has decent painting skills and can depict all of this on paper..."

By the end of the speech, Wu Qing's voice was almost inaudible.

She glanced wildly at the two children.

[Got it? Just find someone who can draw maps to teach art class! ]

[We are just drawing anyway, so what's wrong with drawing a map! ]

The eldest prince said in horror: "My lord, this is inappropriate, isn't it?"

The second prince also echoed and shook his head repeatedly.

Isn't this taking advantage of a loophole and going against the Emperor?

Wu Qing is disappointed that his talent cannot be improved upon.

These two fools won't even take a chance.

"Hey, everyone, please be tacit. If you don't say it and I don't say it, how can this matter get out?"

Wu Qing said: "The three of us will definitely not sell secrets to anyone."

The eldest prince still had a frown on his face, looking worried.

He said, "Of course we can trust you, sir, but what if that teacher... accidentally lets the news leak out?"

Wu Qing thought about it and felt that what the eldest prince said made sense.

"…Then find someone with evidence!"

Wu Qing's eyes gleamed with light, "It would be best if it was something that, once exposed, would ruin his reputation and make him no longer able to gain a foothold in the officialdom. In this way, he would naturally not dare to reveal even a little bit."

The expressions of the eldest prince and the second prince brightened.

They racked their brains and brought up those who met Wu Qing's requirements.

Not to mention, these two princes actually have quite a few leverages over the literati in the court.

At least Wu Qing knew all the names they mentioned.

Wu Qing listened attentively, but after hearing seven or eight names in a row, he was not satisfied with any of them.

It was not until Wu Qing heard the three words "Qin Lixue" that his eyes suddenly lit up.

"This one."

She said this through gritted teeth, her tone revealing an indescribable ruthlessness.

When the second prince saw this, he was happy but also a little embarrassed.

In fact, he just mentioned Qin Lixue's name casually and didn't really have any evidence against him.

Seeing that Ji Guiren was moved, he quickly added: "But I don't have any solid evidence to restrain him! I just think he meets the requirements you mentioned earlier."

The eldest prince thought for a moment and said with embarrassment: "My lord, I don't have any either. I just heard that he was engaged before he got married, and there was some unpleasantness when he broke off the engagement."

Wu Qing smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have the leverage over him, he definitely won't dare to say anything."

[Because, the unlucky person whose engagement was broken off was me. ]

[I still have the love letter that this silly bird wrote to me. How come it's not considered as evidence? ]

[It has his own signature and date on it, let's see how he can deny it! ]

[Hahaha, you didn't expect that! I have been keeping that love letter, just to use it as a handle to punish him one day. Now it seems that it will finally come in handy. ]

The first and second princes were speechless: "..."

What the hell!?

love letter?

Wait, something seems wrong.

"Okay, that's settled. He lives not far from the palace, so he should be able to come on time to give lectures this afternoon."

Wu Qing did not delay at all and quickly made the decision.

"Finally, let's talk about these last few easy-to-scoring chemistry questions."

Wu Qing pointed his finger at the question.

"Which of the following medicines can be taken in large quantities... Why did you choose cinnabar?"

Her eyes were directed at the eldest prince and her tone was unfriendly.
